Hmm-“Nyx opened her mouth, not sure what to say.

It was 300 million StarCoins. Before her transmigration, it would have been an unimaginable fortune, something she could never touch in a lifetime. But now, it wasn’t that out of reach.
Her account was filled with large donations from her fans. She didn’t know exactly how many zeros, but it probably already exceeded that amount.
“You don’t need to give me any compensation,” she said sincerely to the noble male.
Even if she’s now considered a little rich, or even if she were still poor, she wouldn’t demand compensation in a greedy
manner.
In her view, the Empire’s forced matching system is quite unreasonable–deciding to live together after just meeting for the first time is too hasty.
Since blind dates on Earth often didn’t work out, there was no reason to be bound by assigned pairings in the star systems. If two people weren’t compatible, refusing the match was perfectly acceptable. Since neither party was at fault, no compensation was necessary.
The noble male, however, didn’t believe Nyx was so easy to talk to, eyeing her suspiciously. “Do you want real estate? A villa? A manor? Or maybe a jewelry mine? A store? A planet?”
He thought Nyx must have some ulterior motive.
Or perhaps Nyx was interested in him and didn’t want material compensation but to be with him. The possibility made the noble male sit up straighter, realizing this matter was getting a bit tricky. “I can date you until you get bored of me,” he pondered for a moment before offering a concession. Setting aside her mental power issues, Nyx was very beautiful, and dating her would be quite pleasant. He was willing to dedicate some time, energy, and even his body to her.
The only thing he wouldn’t do was become her partner.
Nyx, puzzled, touched the tip of her nose.
She couldn’t follow the noble male’s line of thinking.
How did the topic even shift to dating?
Moreover, with the hesitant tone he used, it was as if she desperately wanted to date him.
Seeing Nyx remain silent, the noble male continued, “After the relationship ends, I’ll transfer 300 million StarCoins to your account as a breakup fee.”
‘She should be satisfied now, with both money and a romantic option, right?‘ thought the noble.
Nyx went speechless.
She cleared her throat, trying to appear more sincere. “I don’t want to force you into dating me, and I don’t need your

financial compensation. We can go to the municipal hall right now to request the cancellation of the match, with no conditions required.”
As she spoke, she stood up, scanned her pupils to settle the bill, and walked toward the exit.

The noble male, a beat behind, snapped back to reality and hurriedly followed her. “Are you mad? It’s not that I don’t like you; it’s that my family won’t allow it.”
On the way to the municipal hall, the noble male kept explaining to Nyx why he couldn’t marry her.
Nyx couldn’t bear it anymore and regretted getting in the same vehicle as him.
If she’d known, she would have taken the public aircraft.
Once this was over, she’d get her own pilot’s license and buy her own aircraft.
Nyx held her breath until they reached the municipal hall, rushing out of the aircraft and straight to the staff. “I want to request the cancellation of the match!”
“Uh, sure. May I ask the reason?” The staff looked at Nyx, then glanced at the noble male following her. “Is there something

don’t like about this male?”

If the match was canceled due to dissatisfaction with the male, a mark would be left on his record, affecting future matching opportunities.
The noble male nervously glanced at Nyx, fearing she might say something bad about him in a fit of anger.
This was why he had been trying to please Nyx so much.
Nyx shook her head decisively. “There’s nothing I’m dissatisfied with.”
In reality, there were some things–this male’s mysterious confidence and his loudness. But those weren’t the main reasons for canceling the match. She wasn’t one to speak ill of others, so she just mentally complained.
The noble male let out a sigh of relief.
Nyx explained to the staff, “Actually, I’ve already found a third guardian, but haven’t had the chance to register it yet.”
“Then when will you be able to complete the registration?” asked the staff.
Nyx hesitated. “I’m not sure. He’s on a business trip right now.”
In Nyx’s understanding, military officers going on assignments for years was normal.
Felix had only told her he’d be back after some time, and that “some time” could very well mean years.
Nyx rubbed her chin thoughtfully.
The staff observed her serious expression and fell silent for a moment.
He suspected there was no “guardian on a business trip” and that Nyx had made it up to save face.
Given their respective statuses, it seemed more likely that the noble male didn’t want to be Nyx’s guardian because of her ordinary background and lack of mental power.
The noble male shared the staff’s doubts and thought Nyx was just fabricating things.

He gazed at Nyx with complicated feelings. ‘Such a stubborn yet adorable little female.
She was clearly an ordinary civilian but insisted on not taking his material compensation.
Clearly interested in him, yet refused to date him in a relationship that couldn’t lead to marriage.
Clearly, she hadn’t found a guardian, yet she insisted on claiming that she had an appointed one.
‘What male’s job could be so important? To the point where he’d delay registering with a little female for a business trip?” The noble male let out a light laugh and shook his head.
Maybe it was one of those high–ranking big shots.
But clearly, those big shots wouldn’t care for a civilian female with no mental power.
“If you can’t give us an exact registration date, I’m afraid we’ll have to find you a new guardian,” the staff member said gently, discreetly ignoring Nyx’s fabricated information while quickly processing the unmatching and preparing for a new match.
Nyx anxiously stopped him. “Wait, let me ask him when he’ll be back!”
While grumbling in her mind about how inhumane the empire’s guardian system was, she hastily opened her Intelligent Brain.
Both the staff member and the noble male couldn’t help but focus their attention on her Intelligent Brain screen. They thought, ‘Could it really be that such a male exists? No way.‘
Suddenly, hurried footsteps echoed from afar. “Nyx!”
The familiar voice made Nyx swiftly turn around, her eyes lighting up in surprise. “Felix!”
“You’re back?” She eagerly ran toward Felix, and before her feet even touched the ground, she was swept up into his arms.
Dressed in stern military attire, despite his travel–worn state, Felix exuded the aura of someone in a high position. His embrace of the small female was effortless, showing a gentle side to his strong demeanor.
The entire city hall fell silent in an instant.
The noble male gaped in shock, staring at Felix. “Marshal?”
