Chapter 88
As soon as Rex received the news, he rushed to warn them.
Felix flipped through the intelligence documents, which were full of blatant ambition, almost oozing desire for Nyx. These restless people even wanted to force Nyx to do Mental Soothing for noble males. They even planned to conduct some kind of research on Nyx
“With just this bit of information, we can’t pin the blame on them,” Rex said coldly. “I will do everything I can to gather more dirt on them.”
Tm not afraid of them coming at us openly; it’s the covert attacks like today that worry me. Rex said, his tone serious “Please, make sure to protect Lord Nyx”
“As for the public matters, don’t worry,” he pledged. Til make sure no harmful proposals to Lord Nyx pass.”
Felix nodded and said, I’ve taken an extended leave”
For the time being, he would stay by Nyx’s side, never leaving her. If any vile person dared to provoke Nyx again, they would face the wrath of the empire’s war god.
Not just Felix, Theon’s transfer request had also been approved. An 555–level female needs to be assigned dedicated protection personnel, and Theon got the spot. From now on, he would be Nyx’s personal bodyguard. No more traveling back and forth, no more being separated from Nyx
When Nyx heard the news, her eyes immediately lit up. Theon held her in his arms and spun her around. To her, the happiest life was just this–having the important people around her.
But then, Nyx hesitated a little and asked Theon. “Won’t this affect your future?”
She was happy that Theon could stay on Central Planet, but Theon had originally been the youngest major general in the Empire, with an endless future ahead. Someone like him being her bodyguard felt like such a waste of talent,
“How could it?” Theon smiled and shook his head. “I fought tooth and nail to get
this spot
So many people wanted the opportunity to be a bodyguard for an SSS–level female. The competition was beyond counting Worried that Nyx might be startled during the day and have trouble sleeping at night. Theon quietly stayed outside her room all night.
The attack didn’t seem to have caused Nyx any lasting trauma. She had only been a bit down for one day, and after a night’s rest, she was back to her lively self.
100!
The only aftermath was that she couldn’t handle Zayne being out of her sight for too long. Even when treating other females, she insisted Zayne stay by her side, never leaving her alone.
The females receiving treatment also had their partners by their side, but none were as clingy as Nyx and Zayne.
“Nyx, take a break.” Zayne handed Nyx some cut fruit after she had treated three people in a row, fixing a few stray locks of
her hair.
Nyx obediently sat next to him, leaning on him. Skin to skin, the warmth from Zayne’s body comforted her, making her feel
safe.
After eating the fruit, Zayne wiped her mouth and then massaged her arms, waist, and calves, relieving the stiffness from holding the same position while treating others.

Nyx nestled into him, carefully avoiding his injured shoulder. “Don’t press too hard.”
She was worried that if Zayne used too much pressure, it might affect the injury. Zayne thought she was in pain, so he immediately lightened his touch.
The pressure was!
too light, though, and it tickled. Nyx couldn’t help but giggle. The males present was rendered speechless. They had never seen anything like this before.
They had been so nervous about being in the Marshal’s residence, but now they were left speechless by what they were witnessing, completely forgetting their anxiety. In fact, Zayne was just as shocked as they were.
In the past, Nyx had always been kind to him, but not overly affectionate. But after his injury, Nyx had suddenly become like a little sugar cake, sticking to him all the time.
Back then, when they went on walks in the Royal Garden, he had wanted to give Nyx a massage to help her relax, but she had refused without hesitation. And now, Nyx had finally accepted him.
Zayne’s heart raced wildly. He wondered if she would say yes if he confessed now and asked to become her partner. After much hesitation, Zayne couldn’t bring himself to speak.
He wasn’t someone who hesitated in making decisions, but in front of Nyx, he didn’t dare to rush it, fearing he might make the wrong move. In the midst of his scattered thoughts, a cool, sweet sensation suddenly touched Zayne’s lips.
He looked up in surprise to see Nyx feeding him a piece of pear. It was one of the few fruits he liked.
Nyx winked at him, and he knew this wasn’t just a coincidence. Taking a deep breath, Zayne felt a surge of heat rise in his chest, spreading through his limbs.
Nyx had actually noticed his preference and even remembered it. No female had ever done something like this for a male. The other people present didn’t know Zayne’s preferences, but just watching Nyx personally feed him had already left them utterly stunned. A female feeding a male was unthinkable.
Even though there were rumors on StarNet, they knew Nyx was a gentle female who treated her males well, but they had never imagined it would be to this extent.
The males present were all envious. Even the females felt something subtle stirring in their hearts.
If it were any other female, they would definitely mock her for being so attentive to a male. Males were naturally slaves to females and didn’t deserve this kind of treatment.
But when it came to Nyx, they couldn’t bring themselves to mock her. In fact, because Nyx’s actions were so natural, they found it hard to see anything wrong with it, or anything bad about it.
Gradually influenced, they began to treat their own males more kindly, unconsciously lowering the frequency of commanding and scolding
Thomas Danes was one of the males accompanying the matron to receive Nyx’s treatment. Everyone in the company knew about it, and when he returned to work, his colleagues couldn’t help but ask him for details.
“How was it? Was the treatment successful?”
“Isn’t the Marshal’s estate magnificent?”

“Did you meet Lord Nyx?”
“Is she really that gentle?”
A dreamy look appeared on Thomas’s face as he nodded continuously.
27%
The treatment was very successful, and the whole family was overjoyed. The matron was especially happy. Not only that, but since the matron became friends with Nyx and often visited her, her aura had become more peaceful..
For several days, the matron hadn’t been angry with him, and even smiled at him sometimes. In all the time Thomas had known her, he had never seen the matron so gentle with him. It was simply unbelievable.
Thomas’s joy was clear to his colleagues, who were all amazed. Whether out of genuine concern or jealousy, someone couldn’t resist reminding him, “Your matron’s mental power has recovered–do you think she might look down on you
now?”
“You’re not going to be abandoned, are you?”
“If she hits you, scolds you, or picks on you, just try to bear it.”
Thomas was just an E–level male, and had it not been for the matron’s injury and loss of mental power, she would never have taken him as her partner.
Stung by the comment, Thomas lowered his head a bit, feeling self–conscious, but quickly cheered himself up. “That won’t happen.”
The matron treated him extremely well now, and had even promised to visit him at the company today and go home with him. His colleagues didn’t understand where his confidence came from, and they all shook their heads, sighing.
The matron was a C–level female. Now that her mental power had recovered, she would definitely disdain him. Even if they didn’t break up, she certainly wouldn’t be kind to him on a daily basis.
