Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed

Chapter 373

Aron had entered the palace at six years old and had served not only the current Emperor but also overal of the late Emperor's consorts.

He remembered that at every banquet, the empresses in the palace would always compere fiercely, using every trick in the book to gain the late Emperor's favor

The scene was very familiar, but the roles seemed wrong.

Aurelius and Erik were now the ones vying for attention, a situation that seemed absurd.

Given their status and power, they could have as many women as they wanted, but instead, they were both fixated on Nyx.

Aron sighed helplessly and stepped forward to clear the table, swiftly gathering the bowls, plates, and food containers.

Seeing this. Arlong also came forward to help, his head lowered, not daring to breathe, already sensing what was happening. He thought. Why would His Majesty be interested in the madam?

Though the madam is wonderful, she and His Majesty have never met before- one lives in the inner court, the other in the palace. There should have been no reason for them to cross paths

Erik sat at the table, his mind beginning to cool as he started to ponder this issue.

After all these years, Aurelius had never shown up in beast form to find him. Erik thought, 'So why would he suddenly appear as a beast in his courtyard? So, he has already had his eyes on Nyx and has deliberately transformed into beast form to get close to her.'

Nyx had barely left when the vibe in the study changed drastically, becoming cold and filled with tension.

"When did you meet Nyx?" Erik decided to go straight to the point with an interrogation.

With the audience gone, Aurelius didn't bother pretending anymore. His gentle, pitiful demeanor disappeared, replaced by a strong, sharp aura. He raised an eyebrow. "Do you want to know?"

He wasn't going to hide anything, and there was a hint of pride in his words. "That day, I happened to leave the palace and saw her in the market. It must've been fate."

"The market?" Erik frowned, surprised.

Nyx hadn't mentioned it to him. He had no idea when she had gone out or visited the market.

"You didn't know? She didn't tell you?" Aurelius could see what Erik was thinking, and a pleased smile appeared on his face.

"That day, she went to buy some spices, some lamb, fish, shrimp, and flatbread. On the way, she was harassed by a few idiots, so I had my guards drive them off.
