Someone asked: [The meaning of “suitor” is? Does it mean he hasn’t succeeded yet?]
Felix actually replied to this question himself: [I’m working on it.]
The uproar intensified.

They thought, ‘Would a female really reject the Marshal? If you were to rank the most popular males among females in the empire, the Marshal would definitely be at the top. Over the years, countless females have expressed their admiration for the Marshal.’
He had never responded to any female, seeming to have no interest in finding a partner. Yet now, he claimed to be Nyx’s suitor.
Someone immediately raised a question: [Marshal, do you pursue Nyx because, as an SS–level male, you need her Mental Soothing to alleviate your loss of control?]
This question was too harsh, too direct.
In fact, most unions between females and males in the empire weren’t based on love but on an exchange of benefits.
This held true not only for the powerful but also for ordinary people. Both men and women were highly pragmatic, typically basing their choices on the man’s wealth and status, the woman’s mental power, and a degree of mutual attraction. Even if they didn’t say it out loud, everyone knew it in their hearts and understood it tacitly.
Marshal Lane had always been cold to females. Now, he suddenly became Nyx’s suitor. ‘Of course, it’s because Nyx’s mental power is strong enough!‘ they thought.
This was everyone’s consensus, but asking it so bluntly was very insensitive.
[Stop asking such pointless questions!]
[Tell me, are you a hater of the Marshal or a hater of Nyx?]
[Why don’t you go home and ask your father? Did he pursue your mother to get her Mental Soothing?]
[Sick!]
[The Marshal doesn’t need to answer. I’ll answer for him: Get lost!]
The malicious questioner was chased and scolded by everyone and sheepishly deleted the question.
The onlookers won a great victory and were about to disperse contentedly when they were shocked to find that Felix had updated his feed again, seemingly responding to the doubts-
Felix: [When I fell for her, she hadn’t awakened yet. My pursuit of her has nothing to do with mental power.]
Such a lovestruck declaration, coming from Marshal Lane’s mouth.
The onlookers were so shocked that the melons in their mouths fell to the ground.
If other males said such things, they would mostly be lying, saying nice things to please females.

But this was Felix. He never deigned to use lies.
The cold–blooded Felix, who was known for being ruthless, had actually fallen in love. This was even more explosive than him claiming to be Nyx’s suitor.
[I thought the Marshal had long given up on love.]
[Ah, this-]
[So absurd.]
Amidst the stunned silence, Nyx’s fans were the first to recover.
[Actually, there’s a bit of logic to it.]
[After all, it’s Nyx!]
[If I could be around such a lovely female, I would fall in love with her at all costs!]
[Same here.]
When they first met Nyx, she didn’t have the halo of an SSS–level female, but her strong personal charm was already captivating.
Mental power was just icing on the cake for her. Even without mental power, she would have had many suitors.
And now that she had awakened as an SSS–level female, even more top figures would become her admirers. After all, she was the only cure for high–level males.
Besides Felix, there were other SS–level male figures in the empire. They must already be eager to make a move.
People sighed.
[The Marshal is really lucky.]
[The other big figures just found out the news, but the Marshal has already taken the position of Nyx’s guardian! Far ahead!] [Speaking of which, the royal family held a palace ball today specifically to select a consort for His Highness.]
[I wonder if His Highness has chosen a Crown Prince consort yet.]
[If he has already chosen, he will probably regret it.]
The news of the palace ball being terminated was still being kept secret, and most people were unaware, still thinking that His Highness was dancing with other females at the ball, causing them to sigh.
Only a few people who had been at the ball knew the truth.
In a luxurious but cold hospital, Aurora lay unconscious on a bed, with her family guarding her.
“This is outrageous!” Aurora’s mother had always doted on her only daughter. Seeing Aurora’s pale face, her heart was pierced with pain.
She suddenly raised her voice, scolding her partner and sons, “What are you standing there for? Go and make the person who hurt Aurora pay the price!”

A group of males stood there with their heads lowered, not daring to retort.
After a long while, Aurora’s father hesitantly spoke, “The other party is also a female, even an SSS–level female.”
That was the empire’s unique treasure. How could they easily take action to teach her a lesson?

Moreover, they were not in the right. If Aurora hadn’t attacked first, she wouldn’t have been injured in the counterattack.
This wasn’t the first time Aurora had used her mental power to attack other females.
But before, she had always picked on weak targets whose mental power she could overwhelm.
Even if those ordinary females were injured, they wouldn’t dare to speak up, and the matter would be suppressed and resolved by Aurora’s family before it could cause any trouble.
Until this time, she thought she was still dealing
ith cotton, but she had kicked a steel plate.
“Heh, I don’t care who she is!” Aurora’s mother said with a cold smile. “So what if Aurora attacked first? It’s her fault for hurting Aurora! Even if we can’t win a lawsuit, it won’t stop you from finding a chance to teach her a lesson in private!”
She thought, ‘Just a female. Even if her mental power is high, she can’t withstand violence and beatings. We can even arrange a few disabled and ugly inferior males to add insult to injury.
“But her guardian is Felix Lane!” Aurora’s father stopped the matron’s crazy plan, frantically showing her the posts on StarNet.
Not only a guardian and suitor, but this cold and ruthless lion had even fallen in love.
The more indifferent a person was, the more fiercely they would protect their weakness once they had one.
This lion was not easy to provoke. Even powerful nobles like them felt a little apprehensive in front of him.
All the males present broke out in a cold sweat.
They didn’t want Felix Lane to fight them to the death.
Aurora’s mother also choked. ‘Felix? The Marshal?‘
Her face twisted and changed several times, but she still squeezed out a sentence through clenched teeth. “What are you afraid of? Our backer is the Queen, the entire royal family.”
Aurora was the Queen’s niece. She believed the Queen would support her.
Using the royal family as her shield, Aurora’s mother became more and more confident.
But Aurora’s brother looked troubled.
He had attended the palace ball and knew more about what had happened there than his mother.
“His Highness likes Nyx. The royal family won’t help us,” he whispered.
“What nonsense are you talking about! The Crown Prince likes Nyx?”
Aurora’s mother immediately exploded, shouting in disbelief.
It was common knowledge that Aurelius usually stayed in the Palace and hadn’t appeared at public events for a long time.

And Nyx, before awakening today, was just an ordinary female without mental power. Even if she was lucky enough to be invited to the palace ball, it was only her first meeting with Aurelius.
Aurora’s mother concluded. ‘Falling in love at first sight is impossible for Aurelius. How could Nyx win Aurelius’s heart over?‘
