A book was thrown at Arlong's shoulder, causing him to stagger and collapse to the ground in a flurry of apologies

The alcohol surged in Erik's veins, and the frustration inside him twisted like a knot of tangled ropes. Erik's anger flared. “Who gave you the courage to speak such nonsense?"

He thought, 'If he dared say such things in front of me today, would he also dare to gossip in front of Nyx tomorrow?

If Nyx misunderstood that he had the intention of taking a concubine, Erik would

not only punish Arlong severely, but he might even castrate him and send him to the eunuchs.

Arlong's forehead hit the floor, and he suddenly felt a chill between his legs, an indescribable sense of fear creeping in.noveldrama

He said, "I just thought it wasn't fair for you. Now that the lady has caught Aurelius's eye, why should you remain celibate? Isn't that unfair?"

These heartfelt words had been buried in his chest for a long time. Even if Erik punished him severely, he couldn't help but speak them now.

The room fell into silence.

Erik looked down at his subordinate, who had spoken out of turn, with a mix of mockery and thoughtfulness in his eyes. Slowly, his mind cleared.

"Unfair." He shook his head as if to mock himself, then sat back down, his tone softening. "Get up."

Erik continued, "According to your reasoning, aren't the men with many wives and concubines also being treated unfairly?"

Arlong was stunned by the question. "T-That's different..."

It was common for men to have multiple wives, but women were expected to follow the rules of womanhood in that Even a princess from a royal family would be disgraced for keeping a lover.

Arlong had always thought this way, never considering whether it was truly fair. But now, confronted with Erik's question, he felt his past beliefs beginning to unravel.

"When it comes to matters of the heart, there's no such thing as fairness," Erik sighed deeply.

The one who loved more deeply was the one who was more humble.

He gently rubbed the sachet at his waist, holding it in his palm and caressing it softly, his voice almost inaudible. "I only wish for her to love me..."

After getting drunk, he had finally come to understand.

Aurelius had pursued Nyx with all his might, and it was perfectly normal for her to be unable to resist him. At least she still held a place for Aurelius in her heart.

As for who could take a more prominent place in her heart and sit on the main seat of the household, it would ac, end on their abilities.

"Don't bring up such nonsense again, and never speak of it in front of the lady," Erik warned, pointing at Arlong

Arlong looked up at his suddenly determined master in confusion and lowered his head, meekly agreeing.

The small courtyard still had lamps burning brightly.

Nyx thought it was just a joke, laughing it off and assuming the matter was settled.

However, as soon as the lights were extinguished, hot breath brushed against the back of thy's neck

The night was deep and quiet, and a low, earnest voice whispered in her ear, "Nyx, please, let have a wetens

"Alright. Let's do it." Nyx nodded uncontrollably, feeling as though she was being coerced into this

She swore in her heart, 'No more alcohol. Starting today, alcohol is strictly prohibited in the mansion to one is allowed to

drink.

It wasn't until the preparations for the wedding ceremony began in earnest that Nyx finally realized this was to fries whim from Pale Wolf; he was serious about it.

Though she didn't understand why he was so eager to have a wedding ceremony all of a sudden, since she had already agreed, she wasn't about to back out.

Having gained some weight, Nyx was no longer as frail as before, so the seamstresses in the mansion were beasy making a new wedding dress for her.

After breakfast, Nyx was having her measurements taken while a servant assisted her with fitting in from of the mirror whe a small white kitten, braving the snow, slipped through the window and sat on the table, tilting its head to observe her with a look of deep grievance.

Seeing the kitten hesitate to approach and nudge her, Nyx was slightly taken aback and turned to look at him, teasing

"Come here."

Aurelius went speechless.

There was no one else in the world who dared to tease him like this other than Nyx

Though his identity had been revealed to Nyx, Aurelius, with his thick skin, still walked over with restrained steps and sat next to her, curling up against her legs.

Nyx smiled and gently stroked the kitten's head, motioning for the other servants to leave the room.

The room was left with just the two of them-one person and one cat.

Aurelius dropped the act and immediately jumped into Nyx's arms. "Nyx"

This was the first time he spoke to her in his beast form. He looked up cautiously, observing Nyx's expression, yet he saw no surprise or fear on her face.

She seemed to have naturally accepted that he could transform into beast form and didn't view him as a fairy or a monster,

Aurelius felt a lime pleased, his tail flicking back and forth, lightly swaying However, when he glanced at the golden hairpins and ornaments on the vanity, his tail stiffened, drooping, and his mood darkened again.

He thought, "Why is the agreeing to marry Erik? That guy treats her with such disdain-does she really not resent him at all? le she really forgiving him so easily?

The little white cat, puffing up in frustration, raised its paw and flicked at the tassels on Nyx's dress. “The jade pendant I gave you why aren't you wearing it?"

Nyx paused, then remembered the special jade pendant she had tucked away,

Her expression shifted slightly as she pinched the little car's paw, "That's not something I can wear casually?

It was Queen's exclusive property. She could accept it, but wearing it out in public would be too ostentatious.

Aurelius, however, looked up at her with a solemn gaze, "Nyx, you can wear it,

"I've been on the throne for many years, but I've never had a consort because I've never found the right person," he said directly, almost hinting at something, his blue eyes reflecting Nyx's image. “Now, I've finally found you. Come with me to the palace, Nyx"
