Nyx finally got a good look at Felix. The male on the screen looked a lot like Theon. They shared the same strong, chiseled features–like something out of a sculptor’s dream–sharp jawlines, deep–set eyes, and broad shoulders, with the build of someone who lived and breathed the military life.

But unlike Theon’s golden hair, Felix’s dark locks gave him a more serious, composed air. His whole vibe was mature, calm, and collected. But what threw Nyx off was just how young he looked. He didn’t seem like Theon’s uncle at all but more like an older brother to Theon.

Even though their first meeting was this awkward, Felix still kept his composure. After a moment of silence, he leaned forward, bowed, and said, “Hello, I’m Felix Lane. Please forgive me for my earlier words. I’ll write you a three–thousand- word apology and send it along with my gift.”

Nyx’s eyes widened in shock, and she quickly bowed in return. “You don’t have to do that.”

The two of them bowed to each other like they were in some kind of formal ceremony.

Nyx realized this was a little ridiculous. She straightened up first, and after a brief hesitation, Felix did the same. Nyx then let out a quiet sigh of relief.

As Felix bowed to her, her heart had been in her throat. This was Felix Lane, the supreme commander of the Imperial Military Command and Theon’s uncle. And here he was, bowing to her and promising to write an apology.

Actually, Nyx wasn’t mad at all. She just needed to speak for herself, so she explained, “I’m not a fickle person who gets bored easily. I’m loyal. I will always be responsible for my future partner. I won’t betray them.”

Felix studied her flawless face for a long while and finally asked. “You’re really not upset?”

He had never met a female who was this patient and forgiving. Nyx gave off the feeling of a soft, fluffy little rabbit–sweet, warm, and innocent. At that moment, Felix immediately understood why Theon had fallen for her at first sight.

Nyx shook her head and added, “I’m really not angry. I understand why you’re concerned about Theon. You’re a good uncle.

She hesitated for a second and continued, “I’ll talk to him. He deserves a better female than me.”

In the military headquarters, the lights blazed. A clerk knocked on Felix’s office door, but no one answered. The clerk pushed it open, only to be startled by Felix sitting there, lost in thought.

The clerk left, still shaken. He had never seen Felix so distracted before.

The video call had already ended, yet Felix was still processing it all.

He pressed his hand to his chest, feeling the unusual pounding of his heart. Nyx’s soft voice echoed in his head, and her words played on a loop in his mind.

She said she wouldn’t be fickle, and that she wouldn’t betray her partner. She also said that Theon deserved a better female than her.

Felix thought, ‘A better female than her… Does that even exist?‘

It was only when Felix mentioned it in the video call that Nyx realized her encounter with the black mamba had gone viral
