Nyx was seated there. She had a slender, graceful figure, dressed in silk robes made exclusively for the palace. Cold and silver threads intricately embroidered delicate patterns all over, adorned with colorful jewels that radiated wealth and elegance.

But no matter who looked at her, the first thing they'd notice was her vibrant, stunningly beautiful face, capturing all their attention, making them forget to notice her clothing.

Even though she appeared somewhat unwell, with signs of poor health and a slight pallor to her complexion, it only added to her allure. Instead of detracting from her beauty, it made her seem more delicate, evoking a sense of pity.

Banon considered himself quite the womanizer, with countless women in his royal residence, but at this moment, when their eyes locked, he was completely captivated. For a moment, he was lost in her beauty.

It wasn't until a small, snow-white kitten appeared from behind a mound of papers and looked down at him with cold, piercing blue eyes that Banon shuddered, snapping back to reality.

He thought, 'His Majesty? How was he here?"

The unexpected situation hit them hard, and the orange cat stared in shock, eyes wide open.

Given Aurelius's trust in Duke's Mansion, his appearance in Erik's study wasn't entirely strange. What was strange was that he had appeared in this beast form, and sitting at the desk in the master's seat was a young woman.

She casually scooped up the little white cat, cradling it in her arms and playfully teasing it, rubbing its head, pinching its cheeks, even petting its fluffy belly-both hands inside, and smiling as she complimented, “So warm.'

The little white cat, treated as a hand-warmer, showed no sign of reluctance. Its tail excitedly shot up in a straight line, and it let out a series of mewing sounds.

As a fellow beast form, Banon couldn't understand the cat's language-perhaps it didn't even have any meaningful words, just pure cooing and affection.

He stood frozen, his mind a mess. After several spins of thought, he couldn't make sense of the scene unfolding before him.

The dark hair on the little white cat's forehead was unmistakable. Earlier, when it had met his gaze, its entire being radiated imperial power. It was definitely Aurelius; he couldn't be mistaken.

But now, looking at this cat being casually handled by a woman, Banon couldn't, for the life of him, associate it with his royal nephew.

Not even an ordinary cat would be this docile.

Nyx raised her hand, and the little white cat immediately followed, retracting its claws and only using the soft pads to touch her skin. It clung to her arm, shaking its head, meowing and nuzzling her, appearing more like dough than a living creature, and even acting eagerly, displaying clear signs of affection.

Banon didn't have a term like "simp" in his vocabulary, so he couldn't find an appropriate description. He just felt that this scene was absurd beyond belief.

He thought, 'Is this really His Majesty? How could... how could he become a woman's plaything?"

Nyx casually glanced at the frozen orange cat, pausing her gaze on it for a moment. She quickly heard her mate's dissatisfied meows and hurriedly averted her eyes, skillfully calming the white cat. "Alright, I'll only look at you. Cotton Candy is the cutest little kitten.

"I've never seen this orange cat before. Where did it sneak in from?" She kissed the little cat's face while nonchalantly asking, "Do you know it?"
