Sitting in the carriage on her way home, Nyx kept her head down, still thinking about this matter.

She thought. It's hard for outsiders to control someone like Joyce, a woman deep within the household. The greater possibility is that the entire Voss family is following the orders of a hidden figure-someone who is an enemy of Pale Wolf.

'Does Pale Wolf know about this? If he doesn't, I need to find a way to warn him. But if he does... what does that mean for how he sees me? Does he think I'm an undercover spy? Or does he believe I'm innocent?"

Things had suddenly become complicated, and Nyx rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache coming on.

"What's wrong?" Erik couldn't help but ask, grabbing her hand.

Since they got in the carriage, Nyx had sighed seven times, and he had been counting.

At the thought of the conversation his secret guard had reported to him earlier, Erik's

gaze darkened.

He thought, 'Could Nyx be worried about those two maids?'

When he first saw the two maids with Nyx, he had assumed the Voss family finally realized it looked bad, so they arranged for some personal maids to serve her.

But after hearing the report from his secret guard, he understood the Voss family's true intentions.

They didn't just resent Nyx being close to him-they also wanted to take this chance to place two people near him.

Erik couldn't help but chuckle coldly.

At first, he wasn't sure whether Nyx was a pawn trained to seduce him, but now

he was certain-she was completely unaware of the Voss family's ambitions. She truly was a pure and pitiful little rabbit.

In Rohan's eyes, she probably didn't even have any value to be used, or else they wouldn't be so eager to replace her with someone else.

Thinking about this, Erik felt even more sympathy. He tightly grasped Nyx's hand and pulled her into his arms. He thought, 'No one loves her? Then I will love her. I am her husband, so I should love her.'
