Chapter 86

The door to Zayne’s bedroom was tightly shut, and no sounds could be heard from inside.

What is Nyx doing in there? Countless speculations flooded his mind, and Aurelius recalled the whispers of the bystanders.

They said Nyx liked Zayne more. Today, Zayne got hurt for Nyx, so it was only natural for her to favor him a bit more.

But to Aurelius, a fellow male, Zayne’s injury was actually insignificant, and it didn’t seem like it warranted Nyx acting as if she had eyes only for him.

From start to finish, Aurelius had been left aside. And this wasn’t the first time Zayne had taken Nyx away from him–just like at the court ball.

Aurelius’s hand holding the cup trembled slightly, and hot water spilled onto his hand, but he seemed unaware, lost in his chaotic thoughts.

“Is the wound okay?” she stuttered as she tried to pull at his collar, checking Zayne’s injury, worried that she had hurt him.

Zayne’s gaze was deep as he moved his shoulder. “It’s fine.” He stood up and walked towards the bathroom, and Nyx instinctively started to follow him, only to realize what he was about to do. She froze, her ears turning even redder, almost as if they were bleeding.

It seemed she wasn’t suited to taking care of someone with an injury. She couldn’t help with this kind of thing. Taking advantage of Zayne being occupied with his personal matters, Nyx slipped out of his room.

Theon and Felix were preparing dinner. Seeing Nyx emerge from Zayne’s bedroom with a flushed face and messy hair, Felix paused. Theon showed a surprised expression.
