The news that the female rescued from the Primitive Planet was awake spread through the base like wildfire. Everyone was buzzing with excitement.

This base housed over 30,000 people–all male beastmen of soldiers and logistics personnel without a single female.

By law in this empire, females weren’t allowed anywhere near dangerous locations like this.

Nyx was the first female to set foot in this military base over the years.

Even though most of the males hadn’t seen her in person, they all knew her name by heart.

They thought Nyx was a beautiful name. It sounded like it belonged to someone equally stunning.

Nyx was immediately scheduled to leave for the Central Planet Female Protection Association, escorted personally by Theon and Zayne. They weren’t taking any chances with her safety and assigned her to the most secure spaceship available.

“On the spaceship, Nyx’s room was conveniently close to Theon’s. The moment she stepped into her room, she froze.

The place was breathtaking.”

Warm light filtered through soft curtains, casting a cozy glow over the lightweight bedding. A small bedside lamp and a vase of dried flowers added a delicate touch to the atmosphere, while the faint scent of a soothing fragrance filled the air.

It was the exact opposite of the cold vibe she’d expected from that military camp.

“This is… my room?” Nyx asked, unable to believe it.

Misreading her expression as dissatisfaction, Theon quickly apologized. “It was a last–minute setup by my adjutant. I know it’s a bit plain. Please endure it for now. If there’s anything you need, just let me know.”

“It’s… not plain at all,” Nyx murmured, shaking her head as she stepped inside. She touched one of the soft cushions on the sofa and felt a complicated mix of emotions surge within her.

All her life, she had dreamed of having a warm and safe room to call her own. But it had always seemed out of reach–a luxury she could never afford.

During her growth, she’d been branded a “money sink“, dropped out of school to work, and struggled to scrape by while her earnings were snatched away to buy her younger brother clothes gadgets, and even a tablet.

Now, faced with the reality of her long–held dream, it all felt surreal.
