The Cherished Pet of Nine Beast Husbands
The shop assistant waved for someone to bring over the prize display board. "Our store has prepared a commemorative prize for every female customer, but we also have three big prizes," the assistant announced. "Third prize: ten Level 7 beast cores. Second prize: the latest model Gravicar. And first prize—this year's Celestara Gala grand prize—the Luminara Castle on Central Planet, covering 100,000 acres." "You have purchased two items from our store, which gives you two chances to draw," the assistant added, handing the lottery device to Emma. "Honored female, you may now begin." Emma stared, stunned. Central Planet's business owners really knew how to flaunt wealth. Giving away an entire castle as a prize—was this for real? Or was it some cruel trick, like the kind that lured people into buying things, but they could never win anything? Half-doubtful, she nodded and tapped the screen.Three seconds later, the spinning display froze. Emma blinked at the second prize shining on the screen. A brand-new Gravicar? She could hardly believe her luck. When had her fortunes shifted like this? "Honored female, congratulations! You've won the second prize: a brand-new Gravicar. Please leave your address, and our staff will deliver it to your residence. And you still have one more chance—please continue!" Still reeling from the shock of winning a Gravicar, Emma pressed the button again. Another three seconds passed. Her eyes nearly popped out when she saw the words First Prize flash on the screen. "Corvin… I'm not imagining this, am I? I… I won first prize too?" She had drawn the Luminara Castle? Oh, my Beast God! This has to be a dream. Corvin's face lit up. "Ms. Tibarn, it's real. Congratulations—you've won the Luminara Castle." The shop assistant practically bounced with excitement as well. "Honored female, you are incredibly lucky! Congratulations on winning our grand prize, the Luminara Castle." He couldn't stop grinning. Mission accomplished. Once he returned, he could claim his reward. Marcus leaned against a nearby shelf, his glassy eyes full of confusion. Had the store owner gone mad? Could he even afford the Luminara Castle with all the star coins he'd ever earned? And he just gave it away? This had to be a scam. Emma shared his disbelief—but after the drawing, the shop assistant summoned someone from the Central Planet's Estate Management Bureau and began the official transfer of ownership. By the time Emma walked out holding the castle's ownership certificate, she still felt like she might wake up from a dream. "Corvin… I only bought an ore and a rare piece of wood, and… I got the Luminara Castle?" So, pie-in-the-sky luck really existed.Corvin shook his head in amazement. "This year's Celestara Gala… the business owners really went all out. Giving away a full castle as a prize…" In previous years, these lotteries had been countless, but the grandest prize never exceeded a small manor. Never a castle. And now, Emma had actually won one. Her luck was absurdly good. "Ms. Tibarn, your luck is unbelievable. I know where this Luminara Castle is—do you want to go see it now?" Corvin asked excitedly. Emma shook her head. "We'll wait until Lucien and Silas get back tonight, then we'll go together." It was already late, and the ingredients she had ordered on lightcore for the cake should have arrived at the manor. "We should head back to the manor first. I'll make something delicious for you." Emma brought out the airship and cheerfully led Marcus and Corvin back home. She still couldn't quite believe her luck. But the castle's ownership had been officially transferred—this couldn't be fake. Tonight, she'd ask Lucien. With him around, no one would dare deceive her.The staff member, watching Emma leave with her two companions, hurried back to report to Damian. "Mr. Voss, per your instructions, the Luminara Castle and the Gravicar have been delivered to Ms. Emma Tibarn. She is overjoyed." Damian had already seen the store activity on the surveillance feed. Satisfied, he nodded. "Well done. Go claim the reward." "Thank you, Mr. Voss," the staff member said, leaving his office quickly. Damian had been unusually generous lately. This reward—a billion star coins—was no small sum. … Back at the manor, Emma placed the first finished cake in front of Corvin and Marcus. "Corvin, tell me—how's the taste?" Marcus, unable to detect flavors, simply played along, nibbling at the piece Emma handed him. Even if he couldn't taste it, he ate politely. Corvin took a bite, savoring the cake carefully."Ms. Tibarn… it's sweet, fragrant… absolutely delicious."
