At first, Erik thought the wolf cub's agitation was directed at him, his brow furrowing as he cursed the rebellious wolf. But soon, he realized the little wolf's target wasn't him at all.

A figure dressed in a bright robe slowly approached. The guards knelt in unison, greeting Aurelius.

On this vast mountaintop, no one spoke. Only the little wolf cub, with its tail tucked and a continuous low growl, seemed intent on driving away the approaching figure heading toward Nyx.

Most of the guards kept their heads down, not daring to look at the tensenoveldrama

situation, though a few bolder ones secretly glanced up, eager to watch the rare spectacle.

In common households, when a young man competes for a woman's favor, it often leads to some physical confrontation, with sharp words exchanged until one side wins and leaves with the prize, while the other is left dejected. Only after the dust settles does the tension subside.

But looking at the current situation, it seemed neither Aurelius nor Erik had yet reached a conclusion.

One could only wonder what methods such high-ranking individuals might use when competing for a woman. Would they resort to fists and brawls?' they wondered.

Most of the people, heads lowered, were considering the seriousness of the situation, realizing how much more dangerous it might be.

When Aurelius was angry, millions might die.

Though Erik had earned Aurelius's favor, he was still a subject.

Throughout history, those who defied the emperor while relying on royal favor rarely ended up well.

But Erik was no ordinary man. He held military power and had a high reputation in the army.

Aurelius had overstepped when trying to take a minister's wife. If Erik grew angry and rebelled, it made sense.

As the crowd either tensed in nervousness or quietly relished the unfolding drama, Aurelius and Erik exchanged a calm glance. Neither attacked nor insulted the other, instead choosing to act as if the other were invisible.

They positioned themselves on either side of Nyx, surrounding her, each trying to get as close as possible.

"Nyx, where did this little dog come from? It's so ill-behaved," Aurelius said, feigning extreme shock and leaning toward Nyx for comfort. "It bared its teeth at me just now."

Nyx helplessly petted the cat. "Then I'll teach it a lesson for you."

But as soon as she looked down and met the little wolf's innocent, pleading eyes, she couldn't bring herself to scold it. She awkwardly cleared her throat. "It's just a little one. I'll teach it slowly in the future."

Aurelius was left in disbelief.

His usual methods had always worked without fail, but this time, they suddenly didn't.

He stared at the wolf cub in Nyx's arms, which had once been the exclusive spot for his beast form, and now that position had been taken.

Their eyes met, and he seemed to see a smug, sly expression on the little wolf's round, chubby face.

Watching his rival suffer, Erik felt a sense of satisfaction, even starting to find the wolf cub-who never listened to his

commands-surprisingly endearing.

The tension he'd been holding onto lately evaporated, and he instinctively straightened his back.

When he thought back to Nyx's confession about her reincarnated identity, and how she had openly said she chose this path just to be with him, he was even more convinced that his rival was simply taking advantage of an opportunity. Nyx must still prefer him.

Back at the temple, the room on the other side of Nyx's quarters was now occupied.

Erik personally cleaned and tidied the room, happily moving in.

The scene was so unusual that even the accompanying guards and servants didn't know how to describe it.

They just thought, 'Well, it's surprisingly harmonious..."

The two males even joined Nyx for meals, one serving the dishes and the other replenishing the soup.

Forget the status-if the genders were reversed, Nyx would be just like a high- ranking nobleman enjoying the company of two lovers.

Such disrespectful thoughts weren't openly discussed, but they all understood, their gazes toward Nyx filled with awe.

They thought, 'What kind of divine power could train the most respected person in the world to be so docile?'

If Nyx could hear their thoughts, she would undoubtedly cry out in injustice.

After all, outsiders only saw the surface. They couldn't witness the chaos in her private bed.

At night, with no one around, a shadow quietly appeared outside Nyx's window. Its fluffy paws skillfully pried open a small gap in the window.

The kitten was so soft, it seemed boneless, slipping through the gap like a fluid, quickly scaling the bed with light, nimble

movements.

Nyx, still asleep, was completely unaware. Her breathing remained steady, her hands resting on her stomach, chest rising and falling in a regular rhythm.

The darkness didn't affect the cat's vision.

Aurelius looked down at his lover's peaceful, gentle sleeping face, gradually unable to resist drawing closer.

But just as he was about to kiss Nyx's cheek, the covers shifted, and a pair of glowing green beast eyes suddenly emerged.

Awooo!" The young yet fierce wolf's howl pierced the air. Even with Nyx's deep sleep, the sound was enough to stir her awake.

She jolted up, startled by the sight of a cat-dog battle unfolding before her. Rubbing her eyes to adjust to the dane scene became clearer. "Aurelius?"

After some effort to break up the fight, Nyx grabbed the scruff of each animal, holding them down. She paused for a while before finally believing that the one causing the commotion was Aurelius, who usually handled things so calmly and properly.

The teenage emperor was indeed different from the more mature Male Beastman.

Nyx found it both strange and amusing, patting the kitten's head. "Why are you fighting with a baby?"

But the kitten was the one who charged at him first.

The little white cat's fur was standing on end in anger. "Why is it on your bed?"

This wolf cub was so thoughtless, its temper too wild, constantly showing its teeth and biting. He thought, 'How could it share a bed with Nyx?'

"It's still small, so it's a little clumsy. Maybe it mistook you for a bad person," Nyx coughed awkwardly. "I prepared a little hed for it, but it doesn't like it. It just took a bath and is very clean, so I let it sleep with me?

In truth, she hadn't slept with her own cub in a long time and was a bit nostalgic, hoping to relive those old memories,

Though Nyx tried to mediate the situation, Aurelius still silently held a grudge, and he placed the blame on Erik.

He thought Erik was definitely doing this on purpose, bringing in an obnoxious little fat wolf just to make things difficult for him.

Erik didn't mind taking the blame. When he learned that his rival had failed in his attempt to sneak into Nyx's bed and ended up embarrassing himself, a mocking smile appeared on his cold face.

He thought, 'Well, at least the wolf cub wasn't raised in vain."

Relying on his beast form, Aurelius had taken advantage of countless situations before. Now, he finally had a worthy

opponent.

The ritual continued smoothly for a few more days, and Aurelius was preparing to return to the palace.

Nyx planned to take the opportunity to say goodbye to the clingy little kitten and return to Duke's Mansion with Erik.

The night before they left, the light in the room next door remained on until the early hours, showing no sign of going out.

Though she suspected it might be another scheme by the scheming little kitten to keep her around, Nyx couldn't ignore her worry, She donned her outer robe and went to check.

The door was left slightly ajar, and a gentle push made it swing open.

Inside, there was only a charcoal brazier almost burnt out, offering little warmth. The air was so cold that she could see her breath as mist.

Aurelius was hunched over the desk, a thick stack of documents beside him. With

his eyes closed, he massaged his temples, looking troubled,
