Chapter 161

Chapter 161 “Nyx, who do you want to stay with you?” Different types of fine males quietly showcased themselves, hoping to be Nyx’s first choice.

Nyx felt like she had somehow become the Emperor, flipping through her harem’s selection.

23.

Since they were already mates, she didn’t want to be too shy about it. But choosing one was really difficult. It seemed like no matter who she picked, the others would be disappointed.

She stood there, unsure for a while, and then quietly spoke, “Theon?”

The happiness came so suddenly that Theon looked at her in disbelief.

All this time, Theon had thought he wasn’t good enough, he was clumsy, and he didn’t know how to win Nyx’s favor- definitely not as good as these other rivals.

Although Theon secretly hoped for this chance, he had no confidence at all.

He thought, ‘Did Nyx really choose me?‘

Theon secretly pinched himself, and when it hurt, he finally believed it wasn’t a dream.

The others were somewhat disappointed but accepted the reality.

After all, Theon was the first male to confess to Nyx, as well as the first to swear loyalty and be marked by her. It made sense Nyx would favor Theon.

Seeing Nyx wasn’t going to choose anyone else, they all left the room to give the two of them space. As the last person left, the room fell into complete silence.

Theon and Nyx locked eyes, their ears growing redder by the second as they listened to each other’s heartbeats pounding like drums.

After a long pause, seeing that Theon seemed to be waiting for her permission, Nyx took the initiative to hold his hand.

*****

To please Nyx, Theon had acquired a lot of theoretical knowledge, and he even paid to consult a famous shop in Taboris. But theory was far from practical. Theon had no practical experience, and thus he couldn’t fully control his actions during sex.

Nyx slept in until noon, but still didn’t wake up. Her Intelligent Brain kept buzzing but didn’t disturb her.

Zayne did a checkup on Nyx and confirmed that she wasn’t injured and was just exhausted, which finally put his mind at ease.

Theon lowered his head, accepting the criticisms from others.

By the time evening came, Nyx finally woke up, her head still fuzzy, and not sure if it was day or night.

When she stepped out of her bedroom, she saw a dejected golden lion sitting at her door.

“What’s wrong?” she asked, her voice hoarse.

Theon felt even more guilty and hurried to get her some water.

06:59 Sat, 22 Feb Chapter 161 After drinking the water and a nutrient supplement, five finally perked up, ruling, then brad “Why you get?

She thought, ‘Shouldn’t he be happy? Und I do something wrong?

Theon shook his head hard, whispering an apology, “I’m sorry, Nyx?

“Hmm?” Nyx didn’t understand why he was apologizing After thinking for a few stonds, the vaguely used the remon and cleared her throat. “It’s... It’s okay. Don’t overthink it‘

This wasn’t a forced comfort; she really didn’t think Theon had done anything wrong. They put needed more time to adjust in bed.

“Will I still have a chance?” Theon asked cautiously, looking up at her.

He swore that if he had another chance, he’d try his best to improve, “Mm, mm... there will be, Nyx replied vaguely, her gaze drifting Her Intelligent Brain buzzed again, breaking the subtle vibe.

Nyx opened her Intelligent Brain to check her messages and was surprised to see one from the City Hall.

Nyx was confused.

Seeing Nyx’s utterly confused expression, Theon leaned over to glance at the holographic screen and frowned, “Scammers?”

Apparently, someone had contacted the City Hall, claiming to be Nyx’s relative.

In the past, if someone had come forward claiming to be related to Nyx, Theon might have believed it to some extent. But now that he knew Nyx’s true origins, there was no way he would be fooled by such a claim.

Nyx took her Intelligent Brain to show the others.

It was ridiculous, and even laughable, but there was also a faint whiff of conspiracy.

Aurelius narrowed his eyes. “Let’s not alert them just yet–go and see what’s going on.”

At City Hall, two males who bore a 50% resemblance to Nyx sat calmly in their chairs, answering the staff’s questions without hesitation. “We are residents of Robinette Star.

“Our little sister was kidnapped when she was four, and we’ve been searching for her ever since.

“Something happened to our family recently–our parents both passed away in an accident. We just finished handling their affairs, so we came to find our sister. This is a picture of my little sister when she was young.”

In the photo, a young female child wore a puffy dress, her cheeks were round, and a tiny mole sat just beneath her eye. She smiled brightly at the camera. She really did look like a younger version of Nyx.

Nyx arrived at the Supervision Office, accompanied by Theon and Aurelius.

Seeing the picture, Nyx shook her head with a smile.

When she was four, she definitely wasn’t that chubby. In the few photos that existed of her, her jawline was sharp and pointed.

As a baby raised by the Divine Tree, she had been plump. But after ending up on Earth, she quickly lost weight. She never had pretty little dresses like this either.

Chapter 161 4.99%會 “Have you remembered anything from the past?” a staff member asked carefully.

“No.” Nyx denied it, lifting her gaze to the two males.

Meeting her eyes, the two of them looked a little sad. “Dear sister, do you really not remember anything at all?”

Their acting was pretty convincing–flawless, even.

Nyx stared at them for a moment before shaking her head.

“It’s normal not to remember things from when you were four,” Aurelius said with a smile, smoothing things over. “A DNA test will tell us for sure if you are related or not.”

Surprisingly, the two males didn’t look the least bit nervous when they heard that. They seemed completely confident.

Nyx provided a strand of her hair, and they cooperated without hesitation, handing over their own samples for testing.

Theon followed the staff to the testing room, but the two males didn’t try to go with them. They just sat outside, waiting calmly, still trying to chat with Nyx.

They had even prepared little gifts for her–things females would typically like. Nothing seemed off.

Nyx only glanced at them before looking away. She didn’t reach out to take anything. Instead, she shrank into Aurelius’s arms, looking a little uneasy.

“Don’t be scared, Nyx,” Aurelius said, holding her gently. “They might really be your brothers.”

The two males shot Aurelius a grateful look.

Inside the testing room, the staff member received the report, glanced at the results, and frowned. The data showed there was no biological relation at all. Disappointed, he shook his head.

They really thought these two were Nyx’s family, but it turned out they weren’t.

Just as he was about to inform his colleagues, Theon suddenly stopped him.
