As soon as Felix cast a glance, the screams immediately stopped. The Marshal’s pressure was too intense; no one dared to act out in front of him. However, all the eyes still secretly watched them, unwilling to look away.
“Is that really Nyx?”
“Did she personally come to send the Marshal to work? So spoiled?”
“Wait a minute, how did she get into the office?”
“Is she planning to tour the Marshal’s office?”
“There’s probably nothing there that interests her.”
“The Marshal’s working environment is quite boring.”
In the boldest assumption of the onlookers, Nyx had come to personally send Felix to work, which showed just how much she favored him. No one expected, though, that she actually entered the office with Felix.
Thinking that she might just be touring for a bit, everyone assumed she would leave soon, so they eagerly waited. But after waiting for a while, they still didn’t see her come out.
“What’s going on?”
“She’s not staying in the office, is she?”
“No way.”
“Even if she’s willing, the Marshal wouldn’t make such an unreasonable request.”
No matter how gentle her personality was or how much she spoiled her partner, no female would willingly stay in such a boring place like the military department.
When working hours officially started, everyone was seated at their desks, and still, Nyx didn’t leave. It was then that they realized with shock that the absurd guess was true–Nyx really was going to stay with the Marshal at work.
They thought, ‘The Marshal is really bold. Doesn’t he worry Nyx might get upset?‘
Around 9:00 AM, the door to the office creaked, and Nyx appeared outside the office. Instantly, some people looked over at her, wondering if she had grown tired of waiting and was about to leave.
But Nyx walked briskly, with no sign of displeasure, heading to the drink machine and operating it.
“I’ll get it for you,” someone said.
“No need.” Nyx was about to refuse, but when she saw someone already holding the drink, she changed her mind. “Thank you. I appreciate it.”
The person who helped her looked as if in a daze, returning to their desk, still somewhat in a trance. “She spoke to me. She said thank you.”
“Damn.”
“You’re quick, huh.”
“Her voice is so soft. It sounds even better than in the livestream

The colleagues couldn’t help but envy, secretly regretting not acting faster.

Inside the office, Felix’s adjutant saw Nyx leave for a moment, only to return with a drink placed on Felix’s desk. He was stunned, so much so that he tripped over his words while reporting. “This is for the Marshal?‘ he thought.
Even though the adjutant and the matron had a good relationship, he could never imagine the matron taking care of him like this. After finishing his report, the adjutant cleared his throat and to his surprise, Nyx handed him a drink.

The adjutant was rendered speechless. He couldn’t believe that he got one as well. The adjutant was stunned, stammering his
thanks.
He glanced at the Marshal and noticed that the Marshal didn’t seem as excited as he was. Clearly, he was used to being pampered by Nyx at home and wasn’t as surprised. The adjutant shook his head, feeling even more bewildered.
He remembered how the Marshal had asked him for advice on how to interact with females, and now he was living a life most males could only dream of. The adjutant felt a mix of emotions.
No one, not even Nyx’s most dedicated fans, could imagine just how gentle she really was. Only those who had been close to her could truly understand.
She was so calm and composed, quietly sitting in her chair, doing her own things, while still staying by the Marshal’s side, not disturbing his work. Felix, on the other hand, was so immersed in his work that he forgot to spare a moment for Nyx.
The adjutant couldn’t stand it. Delaying work for half a day wasn’t a big deal, but the chance to be accompanied by Nyx was rare. Even if the Marshal was a workaholic, he shouldn’t ignore her like this. It was too neglectful.
The adjutant cleared his throat, ready to say something to remind the Marshal or help him make it right. Just then, the Marshal put down his papers, stretching his shoulders and neck.
As if on cue, Nyx leaned in, gently massaging his shoulders and rubbing his head, her eyes full of genuine concern. In an instant, Felix’s heart melted, softening as if it had turned to water
The cold, commanding aura he usually had vanished without a trace. He took Nyx’s hand, holding it in his palm, and kissed it gently.
The adjutant was rendered speechless. The close–up display of affection was overwhelming, and the adjutant almost couldn’t handle it. But little did he know, the psychological shock wasn’t the end of it.
At lunchtime, Felix suddenly pulled out a thermos box from his $pace Button. When he opened it, the adjutant was hit with an overwhelming wave of deliciousness–It smelled amazing.
The unfamiliar yet intense fragrance filled the room in an instant, and the adjutant’s mouth watered uncontrollably.
Seeing the carefully prepared meal inside the box, Nyx blinked in surprise. “Felix, when did you make these?”
Felix didn’t usually bring lunch from home. He always just drank a nutrition supplement for lunch, so this must have been prepared just for her.
Last night, when she said she would come to work with Felix today, he hadn’t seemed too thrilled, but secretly, he had made preparations. So, he had been looking forward to it.
Nyx couldn’t help but smile. Felix’s carefully prepared meals were naturally delicious, but Nyx didn’t have much of an appetite. She stopped eating halfway through.
Felix expertly wiped her mouth, taking the box from her hands. He always ate quickly, but without seeming rude, finishing his meal swiftly.
Nyx propped her chin up with one hand, smiling as she watched his sharp profile, but then her gaze shifted to the adjutant.

She noticed he seemed to be sneaking glances at Felix while he was eating. Quickly, she grabbed a box from her Space. Button and handed it to the adjutant, who was drinking his nutrition supplement with a look of distress.
The adjutant took the box, confused, and instinctively opened it only to smell a sweet, delicious scent. Inside was a box full of little snacks.
“Here, try these,” Nyx said with a shy smile.
She noticed the adjutant seemed interested in her lunch, but it wasn’t appropriate to share her meal with him, so she gave him some small snacks instead.
The adjutant took a deep breath in gratitude. “Thank you.”
The little snacks smelled so delicious–things he had never tasted before. He couldn’t even imagine that one day, he would be receiving such treats from a noble SSS–level female.
The scent of the food wafted out of the room, and the staff in the military department couldn’t stop sniffing, finding their nutrition supplements suddenly hard to swallow.
“It smells so good.”
“What is it?”
“Ugh, I’m so hungry.”
“Can you share a bite with me?”
Just then, the adjutant, holding the snack box, came out of the office and ran straight into a group of hungry colleagues, their eyes greedily fixated on him. His smile froze on his face. He thought, ‘N–No, my snack!‘
After the lunch break, Nyx saw a downcast officer. Upon hearing that his little snack had been taken, Nyx couldn’t help but laugh and cry. She took out a can from her Space Button and handed it to him.
Fortunately, she had baked enough of these little snacks this time. The officer, though embarrassed, still shamelessly accepted it, thanking her profusely, and then quickly hid the can in his own Space Button. This time, he would definitely guard his little snack well.
Nyx spent the entire day at the military headquarters, and with her presence, the entire atmosphere there was lighter and more relaxed than ever before.
At the end of the day, someone even boldly approached Nyx and asked if she could authorize the recipe, so they could collaborate with food vendors and sell these little snacks externally.
They had taken a can from the officer, but sadly, there weren’t enough to go around, so everyone only got one or two pieces, barely enough to satisfy their cravings.
Nyx was surprised and nodded. “Sure, but it might take some time.”
She considered mentioning the fondue she was currently collaborating on with Seafarion, wondering if they would be interested. As soon as the words left her mouth, she saw eyes light up all around her.
“Really?”
“When will it start selling?”
“I’m buying a ton!”
“I’ll have to fight for it, but my hands are quick, so I’ll be fine.”

Nyx was overwhelmed by the enthusiastic gazes, unsure of how to respond.
Felix immediately shielded her, holding her tightly in his arms as he strode out. His tall, muscular frame blocked all prying eyes, concealing Nyx from view.
Behind them, the subordinates quietly complained about Marshal’s jealousy. They had simply looked at Lord Nyx with admiration. It didn’t warrant this level of protection.
The jealous Marshal held onto his beloved female the whole way not letting go until they returned to the estate, where he finally released her from his embrace.
Nyx, however, suddenly raised her hand to cover his eyes, “Don’t open them yet, Felix.”
With his sight blocked, the normally alert Marshal should have been tense, but in front of Nyx, he relaxed and obediently closed his eyes, unguarded.
Seeing that Felix had obediently closed his eyes, Nyx took a deep breath, mentally preparing herself. She took out the bunny–ear hairpins that she hadn’t had the courage to wear and, though embarrassed, placed them on her head. “You can open your eyes now.”
Hearing the cue, Felix slowly opened his eyes and saw Nyx in front of him. Instinctively, he held his breath.
