Spoiled By My Nine Beast Husbands (Emma Tibarn) novel Chapter 163

**TITLE: When She Opened the Door to the Life She Was Afraid to Live by Nora Vale Kingsley**
**Chapter 163: The Heart Chooses**

Even though Emma didn’t possess any remarkable talents, the sheer delight she brought to the table with her culinary skills was enough to keep her friends and companions drawn to her. The aroma of her cooking wafted through the air, an invitation that no one could resist.

With a quick glance at the gathering, Emma turned her attention to Amara, her expression shifting to one of seriousness. “Your Majesty,” she began, her voice steady, “I truly appreciate your kindness. However, I believe Lucien and the others are more than sufficient for me.”

Amara’s lips curled into a gentle smile, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. “Are you absolutely certain about that?”

“I am certain,” Emma replied, her gaze unwavering, a testament to her resolve.

The sincerity in Emma’s eyes reflected her true feelings, a depth that resonated with those around her.

“I may not be able to promise that Lucien is my only mate,” she continued, her voice gaining strength, “but I swear to the Beast God that my love for him will remain steadfast. I will care for him and remain faithful to him until my last breath.”

“Emma…” Lucien’s voice trailed off, his eyes widening in astonishment, a whirlwind of emotions swirling within him—shock, admiration, and an undeniable warmth.

At that moment, Amara visibly relaxed, a wave of relief washing over her as a smile brightened her features. “Very well, if that’s your choice, then there’s no need for you to select anyone else.”

Meanwhile, in the banquet hall, Kael leaned against a column, his expression a mixture of impatience and annoyance. The dim lighting cast shadows on his face, highlighting his frustration.

Suddenly, his assistant Adam dashed over, panting slightly as he approached. “Mr. Auris,” he exclaimed, urgency lacing his tone, “what are you doing here? Ms. Evie Graham has been searching for you everywhere—she’s on the verge of losing her temper!”

“What does she want this time?” Kael asked, irritation seeping through his words, his brow furrowing.

Adam hesitated for a moment, lowering his voice. “She wants you to help her meet Prince Lucien.”

Kael let out a bitter laugh, a sound that echoed his disbelief. “Her appetite is utterly ridiculous… She actually believes she can approach Prince Lucien. She’s out of her mind.”

Just then, Evie appeared, flanked by her mates, her frown deepening as she spotted Kael leaning against the window.

“Don’t forget,” she said, her tone firm, “your clan leader specifically ordered you to stay by my side. If you don’t comply, I’ll send you back and let him see how you explain that.”

Kael clenched his jaw, straightening up as he replied with conviction, “Prince Lucien isn’t in Aurelia. If you’re considering making him your mate, you might as well forget it.”

“He’s not in Aurelia?” Evie’s eyes widened, disappointment creeping into her voice. She had come to Amara’s birthday celebration with hopes of meeting Lucien, but her lack of connections made her feel helpless.

Her mates, though noble from Central Planet, wielded little actual influence. The idea of approaching someone like Lucien seemed impossible—unless she could leverage Kael, the young heir of the Suncrest Clan.

“So… he hasn’t returned yet?” Evie pressed, her concern deepening as she recalled the whispers she had heard about Lucien’s disappearance.

“Kael, you need to find out where Prince Lucien is,” she insisted, determination lacing her words. “I want to know everything about him.”
