Ever since it became known that Heps was close to Nyx, many classmates had tried to curry favor with him, but he ignored

them.

Naturally, those who failed to win his attention were displeased, though they dared not show it due to his background.

But after news of Chubby spread, the class dynamics shifted.

“Heps, I heard you visited Lord Nyx. So? She must really dote on her cubs, right?”

“Of course, her biological children are different. You can’t compare them to stray kittens and puppies.”

“Her cubs must really hate you for competing with them for their mother’s affection, huh?”

“Does Lord Nyx still like you?”

“Tsk. Such obvious dark circles. Couldn’t sleep from heartbreak?”

Children’s malice was often direct and undisguised. Their words stabbed straight at Heps‘ heart.

Surrounded by them, Heps recalled his last visit to Nyx. His expression turned odd.

Chubby, on the other hand, didn’t dislike Heps at all. If anything, Chubby was too enthusiastic about his beast form, nearly suffocating him in a cuddle.

Thankfully, Nyx rescued him.

When he came to his senses, he felt like Nyx had secretly been rubbing his fur. Then, his master had dragged him to the study for an afternoon of make–up lessons.

“Lord Nyx isn’t like what you’re imagining,” Heps snapped back to reality and argued, “Chubby is really nice too. You guys better not badmouth him.”

“Who badmouthed him?” The classmates quickly denied it, unwilling to be accused of such a thing. “We were talking about you–so thick–skinned, not knowing your place. If you haven’t lost favor, then why couldn’t you sleep?”

Heps pressed his lips together tightly. He couldn’t sleep because Chubby had shared his happiness with him, and he had been too excited to rest.

But since Nyx hadn’t publicly announced it, only close people knew. He had to keep it a secret for her.
