Chapter 24 

Felix: [Well, say thanks to Nykie for me.] 

His casual reply made Theon’s breath catch in his chest. 

Theon: [Why do you call her Nykie?] 

92% 

Theon was sure Felix had never used such a familiar nickname for anyone before. It made him realize that Felix’s attitude toward Nyx was way more than just casual. 

“Trying to set things straight, Theon attempted to assert his position. 

Theon: [She only sees you as my uncle.]” 

As for sending Felix sandwiches, Theon thought it was more about showing respect to his uncle, and not anything else. 

Theon: [She feels like I’m not caring for you enough, so she thought she’d do something for me.] 

Theon emphasized “for me“, but Felix only focused on “care“. 

Still holding the transparent thermal box, Felix softened his gaze, his thoughts drifting to Nyx’s petite, lively figure. 

He could almost hear her soft voice, tinged with mild reproach, telling Theon that she was going to take the initiative and show some concern for her uncle. 

Meanwhile, Theon was still typing away in the chat. 

Theon: [You talked badly about her before, and she heard you, but she didn’t get angry.] 

Theon: Now do you get it? She’s the most gentle, most adorable female in the world.] 

Theon: [Feelings mixed with selfish motives don’t deserve her.] 

Theon: [I don’t care if she has mental power or is E–level or S–level. I only like her. But you don’t.] 

Theon was this close to flat–out telling Felix he wasn’t good enough for Nyx. 

Felix chuckled softly, shook his head, and didn’t respond. He thought Theon’s jealousy was so blunt and childish. 

But, as much as Felix hated to admit it, Theon wasn’t wrong. Only the purest, most sincere love was worthy of someone so good as Nyx. 

She was soft–spoken, stunningly beautiful, and kind to an almost unbelievable degree. 

She’d risked herself to save a random male on the street who had lost control, and she even worried about a distant relative -someone she barely knew, someone who had even spoken harshly to her–and took the time to show him some concern. 

After decades of being seen as a cold, emotionless figure, Felix had thought he didn’t need warmth. But suddenly, a little bunny offered him her warmth without hesitation. 

Felix poked at the soft and warm sandwiches in the thermal box. The heat from it tingled his fingertips, and he couldn’t help but touch it again.

Chapter 24 

Nyx received Felix’s thanks. 

K 

Felix: “The sandwiches are really good. Thanks, Nykie” 

Nyx: (Mr. Lane, you’re Theon’s uncle, so you’re my uncle too. No need to be so formal) 

She thought he wouldn’t reply, but after a while, another message came through, 

Felix: [I’m only 47, not that old… Do you think I’m getting old?] 

Considering that most people in the empire lived well over 500 years, and taking into account Felix’s youthful good looks, there was no way he could be considered old. Nyx quickly denied it. 

Felix: [Good, that’s a relief. Actually, you don’t have to call me “Mr. Lane“] 

Nyx thought, ‘What? No “Mr. Lane“? Am she supposed to just call him by his name? Nyx hesitated, unsure how to respond Fortunately, Felix saved her from the awkwardness and quickly switched the topic. 

Felix: [I also got you a gift. It’s custom–made, so it’ll take some time to arrive. It should get to you by tomorrow afternoon] 

Nyx: [Thank you!] 

She felt a bit strange not adding “Mr. Lane“, so she sent a little bunny making heart emoji for good measure. 

Just as Nyx sent Felix her reply, she noticed a familiar profile picture flashing in the friend request section. 

She usually ignored friend requests since there were just too many, but this one caught her eye. The profile picture was a black mamba, and it looked exactly like the young male who had lost control on the street earlier. Nyx quickly accepted the request. 

Kian: [Hello.] 

It seemed like Kian hadn’t expected his request to be accepted, and he seemed a bit nervous, unsure what to say. 

Nyx waited for a while, and finally, Kian sent a follow–up message. 

Kian: [I’m Kian Linden. My beast form is a black mamba.] 

Nyx thought to herself, “What a short introduction…” 

She was about to ask if he was the same male from yesterday, the one who had lost control, when the third message finally came through. 

Kian: [Your shirt is still with me…] 

Nyx was taken aback. She hadn’t expected it to be him, and she only learned now that his name was Kian. 

Nyx: [It’s not important. How are you doing right now?] 

Kian was pleasantly surprised by her concern and replied almost instantly. 

Kian: [I’m doing fine now. My Loss of Control Index has dropped to 73.] 

To protect Nyx, the Supervision Office had falsely told Kian that they’d administered some kind of drug during his loss of control to temporarily lower his index. Because of that, Kian didn’t suspect Nyx’s involvement.

Even though he didn’t know Nyx was the reason his index had lowered, he felt a deep sense of gratitude toward her. Had Nyx not thrown herself in the way to stop him, he probably would have gone on a rampage and hurt a lot of innocent people. 

Kian: [Could you tell me what you like? I’d like to get you a gift.] 

Now that Nyx knew Kian was recovering well, she felt relieved. 

As for a gift, she wasn’t really interested. She remembered Kian seemed like a student with a hard life, constantly taken advantage of by his biased mother. He didn’t have much money, so there was no need for him to spend money on her. 

Nyx: [I don’t need anything right now. We can save the gift for later.] 

After thinking about it for a moment, Nyx packed up a box of sandwiches and sent it to Kian.
