"What's wrong?" The door opened slightly, and Lina peeked her head out. "Why are you hiding outside to make a call?"Zuko adjusted his smile to appear natural and casually draped his arm around her shoulder, guiding her inside. "Lina, there's something I need to tell you."Lina froze, meeting his gaze.While he held her hand, she could feel the warmth of his palm, but the intensity in his eyes left her bewildered. Her heart skipped a beat, and everything around them seemed to fade into silence.Zuko licked his lips, his voice low and husky, pausing between each word. "My name isn't Zeke Hamerton, and all the strange occurrences that happened to you after coming to Southeast Aciatic are connected to me..."Lina, I've been protecting you in my way."His hand gently caressed her face, tracing down to her collarbone, where he retrieved the necklace with a star pendant from her neckline."This is the star I gave you," he said, looking at her with warmth and adoration. "In truth, I am

"Lina, I'm not lying to you," Zuko's voice was hoarse as he maintained a certain distance, hesitant to approach her. "If you don't believe me, I'll take you to meet someone."After a while, Lina calmed down and noticed Zuko preparing to leave. She hurriedly grabbed a jacket and followed him.Several cabs were waiting outside the hotel, and one pulled up in front of them. Zuko opened the car door, but he sat in the passenger seat instead of sitting next to her in the backseat.From the back seat, Lina observed Zuko's sharp features, deep and resolute eyes, and broad back through the rearview mirror. She knew he must be sitting in the front with his arms crossed, just as he always did.Everything seemed familiar yet different at the same time, evoking indescribable emotions within Lina.Suddenly, she recalled the words Gia had spoken before. Gia had attended university to find a wealthy heir to date and marry, claiming that 80% of life's troubles could be solved with money. Lina had

Lina anxiously clutched the hem of her clothes, blinking more frequently than usual. Zuko reached out his hand and gently touched her shoulder, causing her to tremble slightly. She timidly glanced at him, allowing his big hand to rest on her shoulder without moving."Lina..." Zuko wanted to say something but struggled to find the right words. He tentatively reached for her small hand. "It's getting late. Let's go back?"Lina was startled. He had spoken with a rising tone at the end, asking her cautiously instead of ordering her directly.Her heart instantly melted.Scenes since she met Zuko flashed through her mind like a movie. He would never speak loudly to her. The cold and icy expression he showed to others would instantly transform into a radiant smile when he saw her. He doted on, spoiled, and cherished her like the apple of his eye. When he heard that Violet and Gia almost hurt her, he hurriedly rushed to Southeast Aciatic.If this wasn't love, if he had done all this and s

Zuko's spirits lifted with just a bit of sunshine, and he let go of his inhibitions, acting childishly. But before Lina could object, Zuko impatiently wrapped his arms around her slender waist and kissed her passionately as if he were a wild beast.Lina melted in his embrace, succumbing to his deep kiss.When he felt that her resistance was waning, he reluctantly released her, gently tidying her disheveled hair. He caught a hint of surprise and sweet affection in her eyes.Feeling a bit weak, Lina allowed Zuko to carry her like a princess as they continued their walk in the moonlight."Zuko.""Yes?""Can I ask you something?"Zuko lowered his head, gazing at her, and replied softly, "Ask me anything.""Why did you suddenly reveal your true identity to me?"Zuko paused, his expression becoming complex. He didn't respond immediately.They arrived at a small, secluded park and sat on a stone bench. He looked at her and spoke softly. "Would you like to hear my parents' story?"L

"Zuko, what are you thinking?" asked Lina."Hmm?" Zuko regained his focus and rubbed her hair. "Nothing.""Did you hear what I just said?" she asked.Bewildered, Zuko's expression showed that he hadn't heard a thing.Lina smiled helplessly and repeated herself, "I said, don't let my classmates know about your identity either, okay?""Oh...""I'm concerned that it might bring unnecessary trouble for you..."Lina turned her face away, trying to appear nonchalant, but her voice was soft and barely audible.But what did she mean by "unnecessary trouble"?Simply put, if her female classmates found out about Zuko's identity, they would undoubtedly pursue him. Even Mrs. Nash's daughter had her eyes on him, didn't she?It was better for him to maintain the image of an ordinary guy!Lina pouted, and Zuko saw through her little plan. He gently hugged her and pulled her back into his arms. "Don't worry. None of those things you're worried about will happen.""What are you saying..."

When Toph first laid eyes on Lina, he couldn't help but stare at her for a while. He not only stared, but he also approached her directly, wanting to get a closer look.However, just as he was getting closer, a big hand suddenly grabbed him by the back of his neck! A stern and icy voice followed. "What do you think you're doing?"Toph sat back in his seat, wearing an embarrassed smile as he scratched his head. "No, no... Zuko, let go!"Lina joined in with a smile and coughed lightly to ease the awkwardness.Zuko glanced at his brother and pulled Lina's chair closer to him.Toph had never seen his older brother act so possessive before. He chuckled and stood up, taking the initiative to introduce himself, "I'm Toph, his favorite younger brother!"Zuko scowled. "Not anymore.""Bro, do me a favor!"Zuko looked at Toph, and their eyes met, causing them both to burst into laughter."This is Renee Thompson." Toph placed a hand on Renee's shoulder. "Renee, this is the sister-in-law I

A thought crossed Zuko's mind. 'Perhaps the two of them are not "like sisters," but…'"Zuko, what's wrong with you?" Toph reached out and waved his hand in front of Zuko. "Why are you spacing out? Come on. They went to get ice cream!""Oh." Zuko snapped back to reality and looked at his brother. "What's wrong with getting ice cream? Lina likes it.""But Renee can't have it now!""Can't?"Toph froze, his face turning red. He quickly grabbed Zuko's arm and hurriedly followed....The enjoyable day came to an end swiftly. Zuko and Lina returned home just in time for dinner. The table was filled with Melissa's specialties."Zeke, Lina! Come and have dinner!" Melissa happily served them.As a mother, she always worried that her children did not eat enough. The large bowl Zuko used could easily be placed on top of Lina's head like a hat. Zuko smiled helplessly and rubbed his stomach, concerned that his well-maintained abs had turned into a soft little belly under Melissa's constant

"Zeke, if you... If you don't believe it, I'll prove it to you!" Jesse tugged at Melissa's sleeve, urging her to sit down and eat, but she ignored it and insisted on going into the room to rummage through the cabinets. Soon, she held a thin birth certificate in her hand and placed it in front of Zuko."Look, this is Lina's birth certificate!" Melissa's voice trembled as she pointed at the name on it. "Father: Jesse Jenner, Mother: Melissa Jones. What's wrong with that!? The hospital issued this!"Zuko quickly stood up. "Auntie, please calm down. I never doubted—" "Stop listening to Mary's nonsense!" Melissa trembled as she angrily scolded and returned the birth certificate to her room, refusing to finish dinner.After dinner, Zuko made a call to Toph at the entrance of the alley."I have a question for you," he said in a low voice. "How would you react if you had a son, but everyone said he wasn't your son?""What do you mean, bro?" Toph's tone rose at the end. "You're not hopin

"Only Morpheus and Sephy aren't like that. They respect and understand me. Sephy told me once, 'One's appearance doesn't indicate anything. A clean heart is what truly matters!'"Rebecca chuckled dismissively."You're a psychologist, yet you fail to grasp this," Wynn said coldly. "Actually, I pity you. You could have stepped out, yet you insist on dwelling on the trivialities."Morpheus has psychological barriers, a consequence of returning from the battlefield. No one has cured his PTSD except Sephy... It shows that a true psychologist is never just a title."What truly heals everything is love!"-One particular morning a year later, sunlight streamed through sheer cream curtains onto the floor.Persephone was sound asleep when she suddenly felt something pressing down on her... Then, Morpheus' strong arms wrapped around her slender waist. She drowsily opened her eyes to find him sealing her lips with heated kisses.Over the year, his kissing skills had improved, and Persepho

With Morpheus' involvement, the police didn't slack off and quickly found Rebecca.That day, Rebecca was preparing to escape from a small port. The boat she had found was an illegally operating one.As she was about to board, piercing sirens sounded nearby.The boat owner, enraged upon hearing the sirens, grabbed Rebecca by her hair and pushed her into the water.Rebecca screamed for help, but he roared, "I didn't expect you to be sent by the cops!""I'm not..." Rebecca choked on water. "Sir, let's leave now. Your boat is fast. As long as we reach the open sea, no one will catch you!""Dream on!" The boat owner wanted to strangle her. "Do you not understand? These sirens are from the royal guards! Who did you bitch provoke?"Rebecca was dumbfounded. Being a foreigner, she naturally didn't understand the local affairs in the Southeast Aciatic region.The police and royal guards quickly caught up, armed, and surrounded them.Rebecca turned pale and trembled all over, her gaze gr

"You had no choice on the battlefield."Persephone looked at him with her crystal eyes. There was a magical power in them. Even if a devil was tearing him apart, her eyes would always bring him back to light.She smiled and caressed his cheek. "Though you killed your father, you saved the country.""Do you really… think so?"She nodded. "You're not at fault. He was the one who made a mistake. You were just fulfilling your job as a general to protect the country."But I also understand that he's your father who brought you up, after all. You guys must have had happy days before that happened, right?"Morpheus held his head low in silence."You did well as the protector of the country," she said softly. "But as a son, you can secretly pay homage to him."Persephone held his hand. "Reconcile with your father, Morpheus. You'll also reconcile with yourself by doing that, okay?"He was stunned for a long time and felt a lump in his throat.-Morpheus stayed with Persephone in the

"No way!" Christopher smirked, glancing at Morpheus. "To him, you're his only princess! I just got lucky for the princess carry, thanks to you!""Yeah, at least you're self-aware!" Persephone nodded, rubbing her chin."We've known each other for so long! What kind of person do you think I am?" Christopher laughed. "I can be a bit shameless at times, but..."But upon learning that the one she loved was the unbeatable god of war, he willingly stepped back, offering his blessings with a smile."Okay, okay. You two stop crowding around me!" Christopher waved his hand. "Sephy needs more rest, and I'd like to get some more sleep, too! Once we heal, let's go out and have some fun together!""You're still thinking about fun?" Morpheus' deep voice intervened with a wry smile. "With the factory explosion incident, the royal family is furious and will thoroughly investigate it. Many people will probably be coming to talk to you both in the next few days. After all, you two are the most direc

"Let's get out first!""Hey, wait..." Persephone pointed to the other side.In moments of life and death, it wasn't appropriate to laugh, but Morpheus still chuckled. The young Prince Christopher was sprawled on the floor in a very ridiculous pose, and they almost forgot about him!"Don't worry," Morpheus whispered. "I won't let anything happen to him."He had Persephone cling to his back and then carried Christopher.Christopher was a tall fellow, so it took some effort to carry them both to a safe place.Fire trucks, ambulances, and police cars rushed in. Their sirens pierced the sky, startling a flock of birds.The fire was soon extinguished, and Persephone and Christopher received timely treatment. Luckily, their burns weren't too severe, and even more fortunately, their faces were unharmed.When Christopher woke up, he felt bandages wrapped around his head, and his skin had a burning sensation. His heart sank, and he was almost on the verge of tears."Tell me the truth! A

There was fire everywhere. Flames rushed toward Persephone like menacing dragons. Her consciousness grew increasingly blurred, but the searing pain coursing through her body became clearer. She struggled to get up, the agony almost unbearable.Despite several attempts, it was futile...Something was pinning her feet down, and stones kept falling on her. She couldn't even muster a shout.Many images flashed through her mind in that fleeting moment, each frame featuring Morpheus' face…She remembered the times they had spent together in Flinge, how he had initially distanced himself from her, then later had exerted every effort to protect her. She recalled how he would gently ruffle her hair and call her "silly goose"..."Morpheus, I'm afraid I might have to go first..."The fire grew fiercer, explosions resonated continuously, and she could no longer hold on.Christopher, who was nearby, wasn't any better.Amidst the roaring flames, he couldn't see anything clearly, only pulling

"No need, you can go back first." Morpheus glanced at him. "I'll wait here for her a little longer.""Prince Christopher wouldn't do anything to Ms. Hamerton...""Alfred, what are you thinking?" Morpheus couldn't help but chuckle. "I know exactly what Christopher is like, but I just want to wait here for Sephy. Christopher mentioned that she'd specifically designed these fireworks for me. Hah! I'm the useless one. I don't even dare to go inside and take a look.""Sir, don't say that.""If I wait here, will it count as accompanying her in her efforts?"Alfred nodded.Morpheus smiled and sent Alfred back. He continued waiting under the tree.The air in Southeast Aciatic was hot and humid. The shade of the banyan tree offered some relief, but it couldn't completely dispel the oppressive heat.Morpheus took a deep breath, about to move elsewhere, when he glimpsed a suspicious figure swiftly darting through the factory's side gate.The security at the side gate was lax, making it e

Christopher struggled to swallow the bite of the sandwich in his mouth for what seemed like ages. He gazed at Persephone, his mind wandering back…He didn't just know Morpheus. He had been close since childhood to the children of the two prominent military families in Southeast Aciatic.Compared to the Harrises, he preferred visiting the Ortons, especially when he got to spend time with Morpheus. He considered Morpheus a friend, a brother even, having engaged in countless mischief together, much to their parents' dismay.In his memory, Morpheus was someone who smiled a lot, radiating warmth and brightness like the Southeast Aciatic sun when he did.However, from the moment Kaiden betrayed the country, Morpheus never smiled again, gradually growing distant from Christopher as well.It wasn't until that evening at the gates of the palace that Christopher felt like it had been a lifetime."I... I don't know him." Christopher forced a smile. "Where would I have met your boyfriend!"

Morpheus wasn't just an ordinary person!Christopher wholeheartedly accepted his defeat to Morpheus."Then... I'd like to invite you to come over to my place for a while as a friend. That's fine, right?"-A few days later, Persephone finally ran into Christopher, who had been missing in action for days, in the classroom."Hey, you finally showed up!" She dashed over, plopping down in the seat beside him and handing him breakfast. "You haven't eaten, right? Let's eat together!"Usually, Christopher would readily accept, but he waved his hands now. "No, no, no!""What's wrong?" Persephone widened her eyes. "This breakfast isn't poisoned!"Christopher awkwardly smiled. "You have a boyfriend, so maybe... we should keep some distance."Persephone burst into laughter. Then she remarked, "Strange... Morpheus was right!""Uh, what?""My boyfriend!" She chuckled. "He made this breakfast. I asked if he could also make a portion for you, and he said sure, just worried you wouldn't tak
