Kian’s heart raced violently. He stared at the photo in a daze, his heart unsettled.

He knew the gift he gave wasn’t very expensive and didn’t feel worthy of Nyx. He was grateful that she accepted it.

He never dared to imagine that Nyx would actually wear the necklace.

Furthermore, Kian was a top student from the Imperial Military Academy’s Command Department. His abilities went far beyond what had been shown. Jaws had always been good at judging people, and he believed Kian would surprise him.
