Chosen Mate Of The Beastmen Empire

The first light of dawn appeared on the horizon.

With the return visit on her mind, Nyx woke up earlier than usual, groggily sitting on the edge of the bed while her mid helped her wash up and freshen her face.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Erik asked, seeing how tired she looked. He felt a pang of pity in his heart and couldn't resist reaching out to gently stroke her temple

Nyx caught his hand and leaned into his embrace. "Well, I'm already awake. If I sleep more, it won't be reuful. Better to go early and return carly"

When there was something she didn't want to do but had to, it was better to get it done and over with early, so weigh on her mind and affect her mood.

The maids exchanged knowing glances as they watched the affectionate exchange between the master and mistress, silently chuckling to themselves.

They thought, Ever since the lady of the house arrived, the young master seems to have softened, even giving us all extra rewards and telling us to take good care of the mistress,'

"When the master becomes easier to get along with and there is more money to be had, who wouldn't be happy?

The servants were grateful for the benefits Nyx had brought them. Each one was more attentive than the last, their words sweet as they praised her.

After all, when they praised Nyx, Erik was pleased.

Though Erik never said much, the steady stream of rewards revealed his true feelings.

After washing up and having breakfast, several servants brought in seven or eight new sets of fine clothing and displayed them for Nyx to choose from.

Nyx selected a simple, understated set. With the maids' help, she changed into it and looked in the mirror, feeling it fit her perfectly.

She turned to Erik, opening her arms and asking for his opinion. "What do you think?"

Though the outfit was simple in color, the fabric was exquisite, and the embroidery had clearly been done with great care. Even someone who didn't know much about fashion could tell it was of exceptional quality.

"Looks like I'll have to maintain my figure and not get fat," Nyx joked, "It would be such a waste if I could only wear this

once."

The other outfits were equally well made, and if she didn't wear them at all, they would no longer fit, which would be a real pity.

Erik had been staring at her absentmindedly, but when he heard her, he snapped back to attention and frowned, countering. "It's just one outfit. What's the big deal?"

Nyx was so thin that he could pick her up with one hand. When she sat on his lap, he almost didn't feel any weight.

He raised his hand and pinched Nyx's waist, which was still as slender as ever, though she had clearly gained a little weight in the past two days, and it hadn't had time to show much.

"If the clothes don't fit anymore, we'll just make new ones. The most important thing is for you to take care of your health." he let go of Nyx and said seriously. "Tomorrow, I'll call the imperial doctor to check your pulse and prescribe something

ue, 11 Mar

The Duke's family could afford to pamper Nyx and ensure the always had the most fitting clothes to wear.

"I was just joking" Nyx said with a slight cough. “No need for the imperial doctor" She had been eating well and sleeping soundly these past few days, and the felt much better than before, so she didn't think the needed any medicines.

Just thinking about the bitter taste made her face scrunch up, and she tried to persuade her mate, "Medicine is three parts poison. I'm not sick, so I don't need

it."

Erik noticed her reluctance and guessed that the probably didn't like the bitterness. He couldn't help but smile.

He thought. How could someone so grown-up still act like a child?

He didn't immediately agree, instead offering a half-hearted compromise to soothe her. "Let the imperial doctor check you first. If there's nothing wrong, then of course you won't need any medicine."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to signal for the maids to leave, then quickly changed into his own clothes.

Nyx's attention was naturally drawn to him.

To her surprise, Pale Wolf's outfit was the same color as hers, made from the same material, and even the embroidery patterns were identical.

"It's from the same batch of fabric and embroidered by the same workers," Erik said, his ears turning slightly red as he tried to explain it away as a coincidence.

In reality. Nyx's clothes had been prepared in advance by the estate.

But his outfit was a matching set, hurriedly made by the embroiderers these past few days to match Nyx's, for which he had generously rewarded them.

Nyx didn't point it out but teasingly glanced at him and said, "Oh"

She thought. If he wants to wear matching clothes with me, he should wear them proudly. Why the need for all the secrecy? I won't laugh at him."

The other servants, naturally, wouldn't dare mock their master and mistress and instead showered them with compliments, calling them a perfect couple, a match made in heaven.

Erik listened to the words, feeling quite pleased, and waved his hand, handing out another pile of rewards.

Nyx couldn't help but joke, watching his extravagant gesture. "Why don't you reward me a little?"

She was rather poor at the moment

The Voss family hadn't given her any dowry, and she couldn't sell off her jewelry

or fabrics for money, leaving her virtually penniless.

Erik was momentarily stunned by her words, then immediately felt guilty. He raised his hand and called for Arlong. "Go get two thousand taels of silver notes, put them in the cabinet"

"There are several boxes by the bed, filled with silver ingots. You can use both the silver notes and ingots as you wish," he continued, taking out a key and handing it to Nyx.

After a moment's thought, he also called the seamstress to bring a pouch, filling it with small silver coins and tying it to Nyx. This is for your pocket money"

"It's not a reward for you," he added, letting out a sigh of relief after completing these tasks. He looked at Nyx, who was stillnoveldrama

stunned. said solemnly. "Now that you're married to me, my belongings are yours. If they aren't enough, tell me at any

time

Although he said this, he had made up his mind not to let Nyx have to ask him for money again.

This time it was his oversight,

From now on, he would make sure to fill the boxes by the bed and her pouch every day.

Nyx stood in a daze for a moment, then squeezed the pouch full of silver coins, feeling deeply moved.

"Thank you, Pale Wolf," she said, standing on tiptoe to wrap her arms around his neck and bury her face in his chest.

In truth, she didn't have much use for money, at least not at the moment.

But she could feel how much Pale Wolf cherished her, he cared not only for her needs but also for her dignity.

As Nyx's soft body close to him, Erik's ears subtly reddened.

He found an excuse for himself, worried that Nyx might fall, and gently wrapped

his arms around her waist. Without saying anything, he tacitly accepted the title "Pale Wolf."

This way, he would be the one appearing in Nyx's dreams, not some wild wolf or bad wolf with a big tail.

After some delay, the carriage finally arrived in front of the Voss family's house, just as it was nearing noon.

The Vows family had been waiting impatiently for a long time.

Joyce sat at the table, sipping her tea, and casually commented. This child has always been like this, procrastinating. No matter how many times we've taught her, it doesn't work."

Hearing this, Kohan, whose face was already grim, became even gloomier.

He thought, 'She really did get bold after marriage-she got independent now. She

dared to be late for her return visit and made me, her father, wait.

If not for the fear that there might be someone from the Duke's residence accompanying Nyx, I wouldn't have waited for so long. When Nyx returns, I'm going to give her a proper scolding

Mila and Kaya, sensing the storm brewing in the air, carefully glanced at their father, who seemed ready to explode. They whispered to each other, “Do you think Nyx won't come back?"

"No way, she's so timid and submissive. How could she not follow the rules?"

Just as they finished speaking, a servant came in to announce that the Duke's carriage had arrived.

Immediately. Mila and Kaya exchanged a glance, a spark of malicious excitement flashing in their eyes.
