Chapter 35

Impudent? How impudent?‘ Nyx became more nervous.

Her thoughts were in a frenzy, considering all kinds of possibilities, even questioning if her status as a transmigrator had been revealed.

Her hand shook slightly as she typed out her reply: [You tell me

Half an hour had passed since Felix’s last message; but it seemed as if Felix had been waiting for her reply all along, sending his message a few seconds later.

Felix: [Did you find a third guardian besides Theon and Zayne?]

According to imperial law, unmarried females must have more than three guardians. The staff member who registered her had warned Nyx that if she didn’t find a third guardian within a month, the system would automatically assign one.

Nyx had completely forgotten about this until Felix mentioned just now.

Less than half a month remained of the one–month deadline.

Nyx answered truthfully: [No–I accidentally forgot about it.]

A female’s guardians were actually more like fiancés. Once someone became her guardian, it was like they’d branded her, and others would naturally consider them her male partner.

She didn’t get this rule at first, but then she figured out there were these sneaky rules. She even wished she hadn’t picked Zayne and Theon as her guardians, making them stick by her but not being able to promise them a true partnership.

Now, she was forced to find another guardian. Nyx felt overwhelmed.

Frustrated, she ran her hands through her hair, unsure of what to do, when she suddenly saw that Felix had sent her a copy of his medical report.

Next came his resume with a long list of achievements, awards, and honors that dazzled her.

Then, there was proof of his assets. It even included the ownership of several planets, making him a literal interstellar landlord.

Nyx was stunned. Then, Felix volunteered to be her guardian.

Nyx went speechless.

She remembered clearly that Felix was an anti–marriage type, showing little interest in females.

‘Is he using me as a mediator to get closer to Theon?‘ she thought

Given how Theon had been wary of Felix as a potential rival, she didn’t think this was a good idea.

Nyx replied: [Theon might not be very happy about this.] She subtly turned down Felix’s offer.

Felix’s public profile was too high. He was practically the idol of the entire empire, a high–ranking Marshal, and an elder, which made Nyx feel under immense pressure.

After all, she was just an ordinary person.

Felix understood Nyx’s rejection but didn’t give up.

He typed: [Theon won’t have any objections.
