Erik watched as she didn't pull away. He saw her raise her hand to gently lift Aurelius's chin and touch his face.

That face was undeniably handsome and flawless, with no apparent imperfections. Even if Erik had deliberately struck it out of jealousy, it wouldn't have made it any less appealing; if anything, it would have made it even more pitiable.

Nyx was the kindest-hearted, and she would surely feel pain at the sight.

Erik's heart sank, as he thought, "They say that feeling sorry for someone is the beginning of liking them."

He couldn't help but want to rush over and interrupt them, but his feet felt as though they were nailed to the ground. The guilt weighed on him, making him doubt himself.

He thought, 'Aurelius might be right. It was my fault for not being good enough to Nyx, for not noticing her distress, which gave others the chance to take

advantage.

The air grew tense, and the surroundings fell silent.

Nyx gently stroked his face a few times before suddenly narrowing her eyes. In the desperate or hopeful gazes of the two males, she changed her attitude and firmly pinched Aurelius's cheek with her fingertips.

Aron gasped in horror, seeing Aurelius's handsome face being pinched and deformed right before his eyes.

He thought, 'How could anyone be so bold as to pinch His Majesty's face? Isn't this like plucking the tiger's whiskers?"

Aron instinctively took a step forward, but then his rationality kicked in, and he froze. He saw that Aurelius had tilted his head back to meet that slender hand, obviously willing and pleased with it.

After weighing his position, Aron withdrew, no longer foolishly thinking he could advise Aurelius. If he rushed in to stop them, it was likely that Aurelius would be displeased, ruining whatever good intentions he had.

Nyx, from her elevated position, treated Aurelius's face like dough, squishing it in various directions.

Years of experience told her that Cotton Candy was no fool and definitely wasn't losing out.

If it seemed like he was at a disadvantage on the surface, it was probably a show for her benefit.

Even if one was an emperor and the other a warrior, with their apparent difference in strength, no one knew better than Nyx that when her mates fought, they were usually evenly matched. Aurelius was no weaker than Pale Wolf and couldn't have been overwhelmed by him.
