Kai stared at the message Nyx sent him on his phone screen, reading it over and over. He'd run off in a fit of impol, ba his emotions cooled, regret and unease set in.

But the deed was done he was already on the plane with no way to jump off, so he wrestled with whether to reply to thyx He didn't know what he could even say.

Torn back and forth, a friend request popped up-from the little fox in the chat group. Thinking she was Nyx's a accepted it without hesitation.

'Maybe Nyx got impatient waiting for my reply and sent the fox to pass a message? he wondered. His gloom lifed diety. and a faint smile crept onto his face.

Little Fox: [Lord Kai, hello, I'm Nyx's assistant.]

Little Fox: [Um. Aren't you dating my boss right now?)

Little Fox: [But I just saw Seafarion post an update.]

Helly tapped away at the screen with her front paws, nervous and jittery,

She'd never done anything so disloyal before, but with her human boss on one side and the demon clan leader she'd long admired on the other, she struggled before choosing to snitch to Lord Kai.

At most, she was just passing along info-she couldn't do much else anyway.

Kai jolted upright. He typed: [What?]

Little Fox: [Screenshot]

Little Fox: [Photo][Photo][Photo]

They looked like ordinary home-life shots, but that third photo was unmistakably Nyx's hand.

A soft silk pajama sleeve hugged her arm, revealing a slender, pale wrist-if it were shorter, it might've shown a trail of suggestive red marks. Kai had held that very arm and kissed it all night just yesterday-he knew it too well

Below the post, some nosy commenter teased: [Cooking for your girlfriend?]

Seafarion shamelessly replied: [Yes.]

Kai's pupils shrank. With a "crack," he crushed the phone in his hand.

A flight attendant jumped, rushing over to check on him, calming him down while scrambling to clean up the shattered pieces.

'What kind of monstrous strength did it take to crush a phone like that?' she thought.

His eyes glowed an eerie green, wild with fury. The crew nervously urged him to calm down, keeping their distance but not daring to stray too far, fearing this terrifying passenger might snap.

Honestly, they half-believed he could punch through the plane's hull-it felt that absurd. When the plane landed safely, everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief.

With his phone gone, Kai had no luggage left.

He didn't call for a ride or take a car-he walked far on foot, avoiding people, then tore off his clothes in a desolate spot,

turned into a leopard, and ran wildly. The cold wind whipped against him, but it couldn't calm him down.

Late at night, moonlight spilled over the castle walls, casting stark, weathered shadows. A sharp crash of breaking glass echoed from the master bedroom-the old butler hurried over, shoved the door open, and cursed the bold thief who'd dared break in.

Seeing the leopard in the dark, his curses stopped short, and he gaped. "Lord Kai? Why are you back?"

Kai didn't always stay in one place. He'd lived in this castle for fifty years, decided it was time for a change, and moved to Broskel. By his plan, he intended to settle in Broskel for decades-no short-term return here.

The old butler studied the disheveled, dejected leopard, swearing he'd never seen Kai look so wrecked. 'Is Broskel some kind of awful place?' he wondered.

"What happened to you?" The old butler couldn't fathom what Kai had been through.

In his eyes, Kai was the mightiest demon clan member-unmatched under the heavens. Whoever could reduce Kai to a beaten stray must've been terrifying.

Kai held it in as long as he could before spilling glumly. "I fell in love with a human."

"What?" The old butler reeled in shock. He'd heard Kai was recently dating a human girl-getting close, even revealing his leopard demon identity. But he never imagined he would say he'd fallen in love.

“Her skin's so fair, her face so soft.” The leopard rambled on, praising Nyx from head to toe, every part adorable.

The old butler listened, eyes glazing over. He'd never known Kai could observe a female so closely.

"She's not scared of me at all-she really likes my beast form," said Kai.

The butler took that with a grain of salt, doubting it heavily. It was unlikely that a human didn't fear a massive leopard like
