Marshal’s mind went blank, and he even wondered if he was dreaming. Nyx was wearing the hairpins he gave her. Nyx with bunny ears was even more adorable than he had imagined. He could hardly find words to describe it.

The temperature in the air seemed to rise, and Felix’s gaze burned with such intensity that it almost felt like he could ignite Nyx.

Nyx was already shy. She became even more embarrassed under his gaze. She mustered the courage to flick her bunny ears, showing them to Felix. “How do I look, Felix?”

When she had tried them on in front of the mirror, she thought they looked pretty cute, but she wasn’t sure what Felix thought.

Felix couldn’t speak; his throat was dry. Unable to resist, he cupped Nyx’s face with both hands, leaned in close to kiss her, but stopped just before their lips met, forcing himself to pull back.

The usually composed male was now breathing heavily, his broad chest rising and falling, his eyes suppressed with intense emotions, completely shattering his calm image.

Nyx lowered her gaze, her long lashes fluttering. After a pause, she hesitated, “You can kiss me, Felix. You can kiss me.”

Hearing this, Felix froze for a moment, feeling even more like he was in a dream. Even in a dream, he didn’t dare to act impulsively. The lion who was bold with everything else was unusually timid in front of his beloved female.

Because of his deep affection, he didn’t dare to take advantage of the moment. Instead, he gently stroked Nyx’s cheek with his finger before letting go of her.

Nyx was stunned. ‘Isn’t he going to kiss me?‘ She could tell Felix really wanted to kiss her. She didn’t dare to ask, but after steadying herself, she grabbed Felix’s fingers and pulled him inside.

The hall was completely dark. The unusual darkness made Felix instantly alert. He quickly tightened his grip on Nyx, preparing for a fight. But Nyx patted his arm, signaling him to relax, and suddenly raised her hand to release a small firework in front of him.

The colorful sparks lit up in Nyx’s eyes, making her beautiful gaze shine even brighter. “Happy birthday, Felix.”

Felix’s gaze trembled. He never celebrated his birthday and rarely remembered it, but Nyx had kept it in mind, quietly planning all of this for him.

No wonder she had stayed with him all day today, wearing the bunny–ear headband he had given her, and even allowed him to kiss her. Every day with Nyx was happy, but today’s happiness reached its peak, surpassing even the Marshal’s expectations.

As Nyx’s voice fell, the lights in the hall suddenly turned on, and Theon, Zayne, even Aurelius–all stood by the table, looking at them. Though the males‘ focus was on the adorable Nyx, they had also made preparations for Felix’s birthday today.

Felix’s gaze slowly fell on the table, and besides some dishes he liked, he also saw a very noticeable plate of pasta and a round–shaped cream pastry.

“What is this?” He looked at Nyx in his arms. There was no doub this had to be her idea.

Nyx had mentally prepared herself and decided to reveal a little truth. “This is a birthday tradition from the place I used to live.

Beastmen also had birthday celebrations, but it usually just meant a big meal and a day off, with no cake.

1/3 22:16 Tue, Feb 18 B Chapter 115 Nyx braced herself for the inevitable questioning. However, after waiting for a while, no one asked.

The males were all surprised. They thought, ‘Did Nyx regain her memories? How much did she recover?‘

38 Of course, they were all curious about everything related to Nyx but knowing that her past might not have been happy, they tacitly decided to skip the topic.

Felix held Nyx in his arms even tighter. His strong arms wrapped around her waist, and Nyx immediately felt a sense of safety, cherished and protected.

Her expression softened even more as she took Félix’s hand and walked to the table, pointing at the pasta. “Eat it in one bite without breaking it. And you’ll live a long happy life.”

Felix was rendered speechless. The Marshal stiffened, unintentionally hurt by this blessing. He thought, ‘Why wish me longevity?

Does Nyx still think I am too old?‘

“Nyx, I’m still relatively young,” Felix closed his eyes and said helplessly.

The Marshal was so close to swearing to the Beast God. He was just of a higher rank, not that old, and his body was still in its prime, in perfect condition.

Nyx didn’t immediately understand why he suddenly emphasized this, but when she realized it, she couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Felix, you’re of course still young. I didn’t mean it like that.”

Felix carefully observed Nyx’s expression and tone, trying to determine whether her words were sincere or if she was just comforting him. After realizing Nyx seemed serious and didn’t think he was old, he sighed in relief and picked up the pasta.

Following Nyx’s instructions, he ate it all in one bite. Nyx clapped her hands in satisfaction and then pointed at the cake. “Felix, close your eyes and make a wish.” Before Felix could speak, she added, “No need to say it out loud.”

She hadn’t found a store selling candles, so the tradition wasn’t perfectly recreated, but since it was just a blessing, the cake was enough Felix was an atheist. Before this, he had never prayed and didn’t believe that vague deities could fulfill his wishes. He always believed in controlling everything himself.

But with Nyx’s expectant gaze, he naturally didn’t refuse. The Marshal clasped his hands together, showing an unprecedented devotion as he silently made a wish in his heart. Beast God above, may Nyx stay healthy, never fall ill, never be hurt, and live a happy life every day!”

Every word of his wish was related to Nyx, with only one selfish desire, ‘I hope Nyx can always be by my side.‘

In a daze, Nyx suddenly heard Felix’s voice. She trembled and looked up in surprise, staring at Felix and then staring again, certain he hadn’t spoken. But the voice was real, not an illusion.

Nyx stood frozen for a moment. At that moment, she suddenly realized that it was likely the Divine Tree had heard Felix’s wish and conveyed it to her.

Felix was never one for many words, and his wish wasn’t long, but he repeated it with great sincerity many times. Listening to his earnest prayer filled Nyx’s heart with a surge of emotions.

She suddenly felt a strong impulse and raised her arms to embrace him, lifting herself onto her toes–Felix felt a warmth. and softness on his lips, and his heart skipped a beat, his eyes opening wide in shock.
