At first, Erik thought the wolf cub's agitation was directed at him, his brow furrowing as he cursed the rebellious wolf. But soon, he realized the little wolf's target wasn't him at all.

A figure dressed in a bright robe slowly approached. The guards knelt in unison, greeting Aurelius.

On this vast mountaintop, no one spoke. Only the little wolf cub, with its tail tucked and a continuous low growl, seemed intent on driving away the approaching figure heading toward Nyx.

Most of the guards kept their heads down, not daring to look at the tense

situation, though a few bolder ones secretly glanced up, eager to watch the rare spectacle.

In common households, when a young man competes for a woman's favor, it often leads to some physical confrontation, with sharp words exchanged until one side wins and leaves with the prize, while the other is left dejected. Only after the dust settles does the tension subside.

But looking at the current situation, it seemed neither Aurelius nor Erik had yet reached a conclusion.

One could only wonder what methods such high-ranking individuals might use when competing for a woman. Would they resort to fists and brawls?' they wondered.

Most of the people, heads lowered, were considering the seriousness of the situation, realizing how much more dangerous it might be.

When Aurelius was angry, millions might die.

Though Erik had earned Aurelius's favor, he was still a subject.

Throughout history, those who defied the emperor while relying on royal favor rarely ended up well.

But Erik was no ordinary man. He held military power and had a high reputation in the army.

Aurelius had overstepped when trying to take a minister's wife. If Erik grew angry and rebelled, it made sense.

As the crowd either tensed in nervousness or quietly relished the unfolding drama, Aurelius and Erik exchanged a calm glance. Neither attacked nor insulted the other, instead choosing to act as if the other were invisible.

They positioned themselves on either side of Nyx, surrounding her, each trying to get as close as possible.

"Nyx, where did this little dog come from? It's so ill-behaved," Aurelius said, feigning extreme shock and leaning toward Nyx for comfort. "It bared its teeth at me just now."

Nyx helplessly petted the cat. "Then I'll teach it a lesson for you."

But as soon as she looked down and met the little wolf's innocent, pleading eyes, she couldn't bring herself to scold it. She awkwardly cleared her throat. "It's just a little one. I'll teach it slowly in the future."
