Disguised as a little eunuch risking his head, Aurelius took advantage of the Queen in bed.

He did all fierce things possible until late into the night, only stopping when both were exhausted.

Aurelius, now in his bright nightwear, pulled the exhausted Nyx tightly into his arms, his expression one of contentment. After being so bold and reckless, he felt every bone in his body relax, his energy renewed as if he could draft hundreds of official documents in one night.

But with Nyx here, he had no intention of mindlessly writing any memorials.

It was past midnight already.

The Duke's Mansion was still brightly lit, with lights glowing throughout the courtyard. Arlong, his mood complex, stood by the window and softly reminded, "Master, it's time to rest.

There was no response.

Erik sat silently by the bed, wiping the sharp blade of his sword repeatedly, as if he hadn't heard Arlong's words.

After cleaning the blade for what felt like the umpteenth time, he finally tossed aside the silk handkerchief, his wrist flicking, and the warm yellow candlelight reflected off the sword's edge, casting a blinding cold gleam.

"Master?" Arlong's voice trembled slightly.

He thought, 'Calm. You must stay calm. Even if you are angry, you shouldn't commit regicide, right?"

In the blink of an eye, Erik drew his sword back into its sheath and blew out the candle.

He lowered his head slightly, hiding in the darkness, making it impossible to read his expression, then lay down on the bed fully clothed.

Seeing this, Arlong let out a long breath, his heart, which had been in his throat, finally settled back in place. Erik was finally going to rest.

Arlong found a place to rest as well, quickly falling into a deep sleep. Unbeknownst to him, Erik, lying on the bed, had no intention of sleeping. His eyes, bloodshot, stared at the sachet with a wolf on it, gently stroking it with his palm until dawn.

The moment he closed his eyes, scenes from the time of his marriage to Nyx came vividly to mind.

He could clearly recall how cold and indifferent he had been toward Nyx at that time.
