He seemed to be thinking, slowing his speech, causing the courtiers to hold their

breath. "I plan to give her a rare treasure."

With those words, the dust finally settled.

No noble title was given, but any minister with a sharp mind understood-Aurelius

was not willing to let go; he had made up his mind to claim Nyx.

For a moment, everyone's expression varied, their feelings quite complex.

Aurelius seemed unaware of this, continuing, "Since she contributed a treasure to me, I will give her a rare treasure in return."

He raised his hand, and several attendants, bowing and half-asleep, carried an item forward, carefully presenting it.

When the silk covering was removed, the dazzling light shone brightly.

"This, this..." The ministers' eyes widened in disbelief. Forget about noble titles, schemes, and power struggles-all their minds were consumed by the stunning sight before them.

It was a crystal ornament in the shape of an orchid, set upon a lotus bowl.

The orchid was crystal-clear and flawless, with petals as thin as cicada wings, slightly curled, and the stamen delicate and beautiful. What was most remarkable were the leaves-they were meticulously carved with intricate veins, appearing elegant and expansive, as if full of resilience and life.

The light shone down, and the ornament reflected a dazzling, dreamlike glow, something not of this world.

"Gulp..." Someone couldn't help but swallow.

Setting aside the craftsmanship, the sheer size of the flawless white crystal alone was enough to fetch a sky-high price.

The "rare treasure" Aurelius spoke of was truly rare; it was unlikely that anything like it could be found in the world. To give it away as a reward was too much.

As if seeing through the ministers' thoughts, Aurelius smiled and said, "This glass ornament is the treasure I am giving to Nyx."
