Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed

Chapter 80 When he turned around, he found that his matron and daughter had unknowingly been drawn to the kitchen by the scent, watching the pot with eager eyes.

Erica gave a silent glance, signaling to her partner. “You should learn from this.

Rex was rendered speechless. He thought, "What is there to learn from this? Besides, it's obviously too late to learn now. The dishes are already out.

Nyx had already caught the scent, but when the two dishes were actually brought to the table, she couldn't help but look at Felix in surprise.

Pot Roast and Short Ribs. She had only mentioned the recipes at honce, and Theon and Zayne hadn't had a chance to make them for her.

And Felix wasn't really responsible for cooking. He just occasionally helped out. After all, he was very busy, often not hfor meals or sleep.

"So when did he secretly learn this?' she wondered.

Based on how it was plated, he must have practiced quite a lot. Even if he was incredibly talented, it couldn't possibly be his first attempt Felix did all this quietly, without seeking praise or trying to show off his cooking skills. He was just worried that the dishes wouldn't suit Nyx's taste, and she'd go hungry.

From what he knew about Nyx, she seemed to have often gone hungry in the past, so hunger was something she'd gotten used to. She would only eat more, to the point of being full, when the food suited her tastes. But there weren't many dishes that suited her.

She wasn't interested in most of the Empire's food, and would stop after just a few bites, only really enjoying the things she made herself, eating more of those. Those dishes were indeed far tastier than the Empire's original cuisine, on a completely different level.

As the meal began, Nyx politely tried Rex's cooking first, but Xivar and her mother couldn't resist the alluring scent, and both reached for Felix's two dishes.

If it weren't for the fact that Marshal Lane himself had made these dishes for Nyx, they probably wouldn't have been able to control themselves, wanting to devour them entirely, especially Xivar, whose eyes turned green with greed, never before so critical of his father's cooking.

He took a bite of the soft, tender Pot Roast, and as expected, it melted in his mouth, with the sugar and spices blending perfectly, adding just the right amount of sweetness to the meat The ribs looked simple and yet had no unpleasant smell. The corn's freshness blended with the rich meat flavor, and with a few mushrooms sprinkled in, it was absolutely delicious. No one could've guessed that Marshal Lane was such a talented chef.

The males at the table, holding back their cravings, felt an intense sense of competition. The Marshal was a top- tier SS-level male, and he was also this skilled in the kitchen-they had to work so hard to keep up with him.

In an instant, all the males snapped to attention, serving their females with great care.

At home, Nyx preferred everyone to eat together, but at this moment, she could only go with the flow, allowing Felix to 1/3 Dreame-Read Romance....

soup to Once the females had finished eating, it was finally the males' turn. Rex couldn't hold back his curiosity any longer. He had to try that meat with sugar and see what it tasted like.

He took a bite, and Rex's eyes went wide, staring blankly for a long moment. When he finally snapped out of it, it was too late. The Pot Roast was nearly gone. Everyone was loving it, leaving only a sad little portion in the bottom of his plate.

Rex was rendered speechless. He didn't have tto complain. He quickly scraped that last bit onto his plate to make sure he'd get at least something, then hurriedly grabbed a spoon to join the chaotic soup battle.

The Ford family's dining table had never been so lively. It was a bit rude, but no one criticized them. Xivar and his mother both grinned, enjoying the rare moment of Rex's image crumbling. They made sure to savor it In such a warm family atmosphere, Nyx would've once inevitably thought of her own misfortunes, feeling more and more upset by the comparison.

But now, she couldn't even remember that place she once called hbefore crossing over. All that cto mind was the image of Theon and Zayne fighting over food, with Felix joining in. Nyx couldn't help but smile.

Noticing the smile on her face, Xivar leaned in, whispering. "When are you planning to becthe Marshal's mate?" Nyx was startled. Xivar continued with his gossip, "Can you tellwho you want to choose as your main consort?" Nyx was rendered speechless. Seeing her hesitate, Xivar seemed to figure something out, nodding knowingly. "Right, no rush." As an SSS-level female. Nyx would have many males around her in the future, probably more than just the ones here now. When more males entered the competition, she might even end up preferring one of them.

"But I still support Marshal Lane, Xivar added quietly.

After today's meal, she had becMarshal Lane's devoted fan. A main consort should be someone mature and steady like him, who could serve as a competent bodyguard and was also an excellent cook.

Plus, considering how he kept other females at arm's length, he'd likely never betray Nyx. At that thought, Xivar suddenly remembered Casia, and her smile froze. She thought, 'Casia. That despicable guy. He will pay for his actions! The afternoon passed at the Security Bureau. Both Casia and Wendy had been interrogated. They were temporarily detained, waiting to be transferred to court for further judgment, Casia sat hunched over in the small room, his mind in chaos. The arrogant attitude he had durin was completely gone. He never imagined things would end up like this.

his argument with Xivar Even though he was wrong for cheating, if Xivar hadn't held onto it so tightly and provoked Wendy, things wouldn't have gotten this far. Now it was a situation where everyone lost.

While ranting about Xivar in his mind, Casia was also hoping his family would hurry up and send someone to bail him out.

Even if he couldn't get out for now, at least he could meet with a lawyer first, so he could have sclarity and not be so panicked.

But after waiting from dawn until dark, no one cto see him. Only sSecurity Bureau personnel brought him a simple dinner. Casia was losing hope.

2/3 21:43 Mon, 17 Feb 8 B Chapter 80 Suddenly, a Security Bureau officer opened his door and gestured to him. "Someone has requested to meet with you, cout." Casia immediately becexcited. “Who wants to see me? Is it my father? Or is it the lawyer he hired?" Before he could finish, he unexpectedly saw a familiar figure. "Xivar? Aren't you supposed to be in the hospital? After the incident, Casia was immediately escorted away. He didn't know that Xivar had woken up quickly, he thought Xhar had been seriously injured and would be unconscious for a long time.

Seeing Casia's shocked expression and his changing emotions, Xivar m smiled with pleasure not answering his question, just sitting with her arms crossed, looking like she was enjoying watching a drowning dog Casia quickly becangry. “Are you making fun of me?" "Of course. Xivar raised an eyebrow. "I submitted a lot of evidence about your affair, and while gathering it, I also found sof your other little secrets"

With a calm tone, she continued in front of Casia's terrified gaze. "For example, you got your graduation qualifications by cheating, you secretly went to the Underground Arena to participate in illegal auctions, and you even injured a restaurant worker and used money to cover it up." Each accusation added weight, and Casia's psychological defenses were gradually shattered. His back was covered in sweat and his eyes widened. "You, you-

These crimes weren't huge, but if they all added up, it was something he couldn't bear. Casia was bothn shocked and furious. but after a while, he suddenly laughed, "So what? I don't know what will happen with Wendy, but you're definitely finished "Right now, you probably don't even have D-level mental power anymore. Even if you somehow wake up, your life from here on out will be nothing but suffering." E
