I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.\" The soft, pink rabbit beside her suddenly spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Female Master? He had just called her Female Master. Rory’s heart jolted with shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did that mean... he was one of her matches, too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But who?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sylas Ruan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impossible. Sylas Ruan didn’t have the kind of brain needed to pull off something like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dax?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That couldn’t be right either. Ever since their bond had been severed, Dax barely dared show his face around her again. He didn’t have the courage for something like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paros was on the battlefield with Vincent and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it definitely wasn’t him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That left only one possibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory stared at the rabbit in front of her and spoke cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... are you Aren?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, the rabbit vanished. In its place stood a man with long black hair. He bore the exact same face as Aris, yet his aura was completely different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was none of Aris’s cold malice or calculating cruelty about him. Instead, Aren carried an almost overwhelming allure—an intoxicating charm that felt as though it could draw a person’s very soul into its depths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Female Master... I’m sorry. I deceived you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aren dropped to his knees before Rory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His jet-black hair spilled down like the finest silk, draping over his pale shoulders and back. A few loose strands fell across his face, accentuating the breathtaking beauty of his features.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the same face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the details were unmistakably different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aris’s eyes were always half-lidded, sharp and watchful—like a hawk forever calculating its next strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Aren’s eyes were wide and open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The outer corners curved slightly upward in a naturally seductive arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His pupils were darker than the night sky itself, deep and endless. When one looked into them, it felt as if they were gazing into a whirlpool of stars—an abyss that seized the mind and refused to let it go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory looked at him and knew instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Aren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not Aris.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why did you disguise yourself as a rabbit to deceive me?\" she asked quietly. \"And such a pink, fluffy rabbit at that. It doesn’t match you at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the mix of panic and sorrow on Aren’s face, Rory had already guessed part of the reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was probably because of Aris.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she had already figured it out, she still wanted to hear Aren explain it himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because of Aris,\" he said softly. \"I learned what Aris did to you. I have the same face as him. When I returned, Aris had already been killed by two of your partners. But he has an ability that makes him impossible to truly kill. I was afraid... that if I suddenly appeared before you, you would hate me because of what Aris did.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I thought you would drive me away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she had suspected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to his explanation, Rory realized that his answer matched almost perfectly with what she had already guessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m sorry, Female Master. I never meant to deceive you. I was just afraid... that you wouldn’t want me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aren hesitated, as if wanting to reach out and hold Rory’s hand—but in the end, he didn’t dare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew how much she hated being lied to. And he had committed the worst offense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no way the Female Master would forgive him now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corners of Aren’s eyes had turned red. His gaze was filled with reluctant longing, as if he couldn’t bear to leave her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Female Master... I received the notice that you had dissolved our match. But even so, I still wanted to stay by your side. Even if it was only as a follower.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Female Master, please believe me—I’m truly not the same as Aris.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I believe that you’re different from Aris,\" Rory replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From everything she had seen during this time, it was clear enough that Aren and Aris were completely different kinds of people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Female Master... you believe me?\" Aren looked at her in stunned disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been certain that once she exposed his identity, she would scold him... strike him... perhaps even order him to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But never—not even in his boldest hopes—had he imagined she would say she believed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overcome with emotion, Aren suddenly grabbed Rory’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Female Master, thank you for trusting me. I will cure you. Just wait for me to come back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You—where are you going?\" Rory didn’t even get the chance to finish her question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man who had been kneeling before her a moment earlier suddenly transformed into a streak of light—and vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory stared at the empty space in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Aren? Aren! Get back here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sat up immediately and called out toward the doorway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was no answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Aren did not return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bedroom door burst open. Jasper and Nix rushed inside and hurried to Rory’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rory, are you alright?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory shook her head quickly. \"I’m fine. And I already know Cotton Candy’s identity. He’s Aren...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We know,\" Jasper said gently. \"Don’t worry. Xarion already chased after him.\" He spoke in a soothing tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had been outside the entire time. Every word of the conversation in the bedroom had reached them clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aren had said he would cure Rory. Leaving so urgently meant he was almost certainly going to find medicine for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that Xarion had already gone after him, Rory relaxed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He was too impulsive,\" she muttered. \"He ran off before I could even finish speaking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nix laughed lightly. \"Rory, it’s lucky he cares about you that much. If he hadn’t rushed off like that... we would’ve just let Xarion beat him to death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes—this was exactly what they had been thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just moments earlier, Xarion had been standing outside the door, and the killing intent radiating from him had nearly become impossible to suppress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So... it was actually lucky that Aren had run fast enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Xarion had gone after him, Jasper’s focus returned to Rory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rory, since we already know that Cotton Candy is Aren,\" he said gently, \"does that mean we’re leaving tomorrow to find Yuel?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, Aren wasn’t the priority. What mattered most was Yuel’s child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory nodded. \"Yes. In order to avoid any unexpected complications, we should leave as soon as possible. I’ll start packing now. You two should go get ready as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nix spoke up immediately. \"Rory, my things are already packed. I’ll help you with yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t have much to bring—just a few sets of clothes and his combat mechs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he had returned with several powerful new mechs. More than enough to protect Rory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Nix would stay with Rory, Jasper said, \"Then I’ll go prepare the supplies everyone will need.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When traveling far from home, it was always better to bring extra. With that, Jasper quickly left the bedroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory went to wash the pale makeup from her face first. Once she was done, she and Nix began packing together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nix,\" she asked while sorting through her belongings, \"how long will it take us to travel from the Central District to where Yuel is now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nix calculated for a moment before answering. \"The total travel time will be five days, three hours, and six minutes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That precise?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory gave him an impressed thumbs-up. \"Nix, your calculation skills are amazing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being praised instantly made Nix grin so widely that his eyes nearly disappeared into crescents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled Rory into a hug and planted a firm kiss on her cheek. \"When Rory praises me, it makes me really happy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory laughed and kissed his cheek in return. \"When we come back after seeing Yuel, I’ll go with you to visit the Lion-Tiger Clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had promised before that she would accompany him back home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But one event after another had delayed it until now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nix’s smile grew even brighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought Rory had forgotten about that promise. He hadn’t expected that she still remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was so happy he almost wanted to shift into his beast form and roll around on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory quickly finished packing the things she needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she took out several pieces of wood and a few crystals she had bought earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were meant to be materials for a gift she planned to make for Yuel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With five days of travel ahead of them, she had plenty of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was determined to finish making that gift.\u003C\u002Fp>",1415,"2026-06-05T18:17:47.496Z",1,"novelbin.me","df150e299843b33fbdac879d57bfac5e1d462eaa65eb7a40a4b9e0a5b13b42ac","interstellar-beast-world-all-my-husbands-are-pow-chapter-205","interstellar-beast-world-all-my-husbands-are-pow-chapter-203",315,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finterstellar-beast-world-all-my-husbands-are-pow-cover.jpg"]
