The Hamertons sent a box of cash in pounds.Lina had an idea to pretend to be an attendant, deliver food, and confront Albert, but Zuko rejected it.Suddenly, a deep voice interrupted them. "You don't have to do it. I will.""Lena? You—""I was too slow to save Madam Baker in the banquet hall." Lena looked at Lina and lowered her cap. "Don't worry. I'll be smarter this time.""No!" Lina grabbed her. "I can't let you take the risk. I brought you to the event. I must ensure you're safe!"However, Lena pushed her into Zuko's embrace and left, saying, "Take care of her.""Lena!"Lena went downstairs without looking back. Lina panicked, but Zuko calmed her down. "Perhaps Lena has her own plan.""That's not acceptable!" Lina retorted."Lina, she can handle herself well. Also, Albert hasn't met her, making her the best candidate to be the attendant in disguise," Zuko explained."But—"Zuko reassured her. "Don't worry. She's smart. She knows what to do and what not to do. If she th

Albert's impatient voice echoed from the room. "You can't even pick up a cereal bowl, you damned girl! Get in now!""The case is heavy, dad!" Desiree complained.Desiree struggled to hold onto the case, but it relentlessly pressed on her arms.Meanwhile, Lena chuckled. Her petite figure remained hidden behind the case, and she wore a cap obscuring half of her face.Clad in the hotel's uniform, Desiree wouldn't have recognized her, especially in her panicked state.Lena firmly pressed down on the case.Overwhelmed by the weight of both the case and the person, Desiree couldn't bear the load. "Come here, dad! I—"Before Desiree could finish her sentence, Lena heard Albert's hurried footsteps approaching. She realized that her opportunity had come.She exerted force and pushed the case forcefully, catching Desiree off guard. Desiree stumbled and was pushed right into Albert, who was approaching."Ahh!"Albert leaped back, reacting quickly to the unexpected collision.Taking adv

Lina gave Toph a thumbs up.Zuko smiled and spoke. "This man was prepping in the kitchen the whole day yesterday. He marinated for three to four hours alone, scaring our chefs!""Why?" Lina asked."They thought the Hamertons no longer needed chefs, that we were firing them," Zuko replied.Lina laughed out loud.Renee played the role of the waiter, serving drinks and condiments to everyone. She was happy to keep busy."Cuz, this is Toph's secret recipe! We must try it!" Renee exclaimed."Yes, you must!" Zuko said. "This dude stayed in the kitchen yesterday, forbidding me from looking!""Why would I let you steal it?" Toph, wearing a loose T-shirt, said while fanning himself. "I came up with this secret recipe after many rounds of tests and trials. You'd need to pay to learn!"Zuko raised his eyebrows. "How much?"Toph showed seven fingers. "Since we're brothers, I'll charge you 70 dollars!""Isn't that dad's allowance?""Hahaha!""You're lucky that dad isn't here! Otherwise

"Let me explain." Chris chuckled. "My real name is Crius. I realized it sounded too feminine when I joined my unit, so I changed it to Chris!""That's right. He's the only one in the family who dared to change his name," Zuko said, chuckling. "Our great-grandfather named us, and Chris just went ahead and changed it!"Chris shrugged. "A name is just an insignia. As long as people remember it, it should be fine. Am I right, Ms. Harding?"He looked at Lena, who had been quiet all this while.Meanwhile, Lena's mind seemed to be elsewhere. After a moment, she glanced at him blankly and asked, "Did you call me?"Chris faked a chuckle. "Who else would it be? You're the only one with the last name Harding here.""Oh," she replied flatly. "I'm not used to people calling me that.""Well...""Didn't you say that a name is just an insignia?" Lena's expression remained unchanged. "Lena is my insignia."She lifted her head to look at him, revealing her beautiful face under the cap.She app

Chris was taken aback, standing blankly with two chicken wings on skewers in front of the barbecue grill. His attention, however, was fixated on Lena's face.Coming from a prestigious family, he lived like a prince, possessing an outstanding physique and intelligence. He earned numerous merits in the special forces, gaining fame along the way.He couldn't believe that a girl had rendered him speechless. Yet, there was something indescribably intriguing about this feeling. Secretly, he hoped Lena would respond again.Suddenly, Toph's hard slap on his back brought him back to reality."Bro, bro! Fire! Fire!" Toph shouted.Chris was startled as he saw the burnt chicken wings and sizzling sparks."Man, special forces soldiers like you go through tough training in the wilderness, and now you feel close to burnt stuff?" Toph teased.Chris was at a loss for words, looking at Lena's expressionless face as she walked away.He asked Toph cautiously, "Who exactly is she?""I don't know m

The style was elegant and defined, with calming colors used effectively.Henry had also designed and made several porcelain bottles himself, showcasing his artistic talents further.As Zephyr observed the various carved artworks, he came to a realization. "So, Toph takes after his grandfather! Besides handling cunning business ethics, he can do everything!"Cordelia was also surprised, recalling a funny image of Henry caught between his two wives at a banquet."Um... He's better than his grandfather." She chuckled. "At least he won't marry two scary wives."They both laughed at the passage of time. "The kids have grown up so fast, and now we're old," Cordelia remarked.A warm and familiar hand rested on her shoulders, and she leaned into the comforting embrace, feeling as though a lifetime had passed."Do you remember what we said before?"

"Lenny, why don't you stay tonight?" Lina gently held Lena's hand and suggested, "Tomorrow, I'll introduce you to my parents in Jangasas. They are wonderful people. My younger brother is studying at the University of Centrolis, and he's quite a handsome young man."Lina added, "Lenny, let's head upstairs first. You can choose which room you like." She was talkative in her happy state.Lena followed behind, not fully absorbing her words.As they ascended the stairs, Lena stole a glance at Nicholas and offered a soft smile. She couldn't help but envy her sister's family. Lina had loving biological parents, caring adoptive parents who raised her for 20 years, and a fiance who cherished her dearly.Such blessings were rare, and Lena appreciated them deeply.Despite this, Lena felt no trace of jealousy.On the contrary, she was determined to protect this happiness at all costs.

Lena's heart raced as she nervously fiddled with the hem of her clothes, troubled and uncertain. She had never worn a dress like the off-shoulder one before. Her usual attire consisted of all-black outfits, fully covering her arms, and she felt that this style was her destiny from birth. In her mind, such a beautiful dress belonged to girls like her sister.Seeing Lena freeze like a startled deer, Chris felt a sudden clench in his heart. He chuckled softly and suggested, "Hmm... Maybe you shouldn't wear that one."Lena looked at him, and he continued. "I think this one suits your style better." He pointed to a classic long dress with an elegant and conservative design, the hem falling below the knees. It carried a unique charm without stealing the spotlight from the bride.Lina's eyes lit up, and she agreed. "That's right! Lenny, you do seem more suitable for this kind of long dress. Chris has a good eye!"Chris smirked and asked Lena to try it on. She took it and quickly entered t

"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...

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
