"Oh, why is little Sephy ignoring her Uncle Toph now?" Toph chuckled dryly. "Little princess, Uncle Toph will have to give you away in marriage one day!"Zuko coughed and chuckled. "Hey, don't change the subject!"Toph glanced at Arya, seeking her support.Arya couldn't help but laugh and looked at Zuko and Lina. "Can we go easy on him?""In that case, he has to confess!" Lina raised her eyebrows. "Why did you tell Bianca about Chris and Lenny's travel plans? She's on the same train with them!""I..." Toph awkwardly scratched his head.The situation that day went like this—Bianca mentioned seeing his comic adaptation on a website and was eager to meet this talented comic artist. Gradually, he got carried away with the flattery, answering whatever she asked."I... I didn't think much at the time!" Toph said, embarrassed. "Besides, Chris and Lena are doing a good deed this time. What's there to hide? Plus, I wanted to honor our childhood friendship. We used to play together as kid

Toph dashed out but halted abruptly, his usual carefree grin replaced by a somewhat serious look.Lina was puzzled. "What's the matter?"Toph forced a smile and replied, "I... I don't think I'm going after all."Lina asked, "Why?""Well, Arya knows how to get back, and we're not in the middle of nowhere. She can always call a taxi, and the Bayers won't let her travel alone. Even if she doesn't call a cab, there will be bodyguards to pick her up... I-I don't need to worry about her!"Zuko caught the hint. He understood that Toph's past relationship with Renee had left him emotionally scarred, nearly preventing him from loving again.However, life had to move forward. Toph couldn't spend his whole life dwelling in that shadow.Toph avoided their gazes, saying, "Come on, give me the little princess. You two can go on your date or do whatever you want. Leave the baby to me. You can rest easy! Haha!"He took Persephone from Lina's hands. The little one cooperated exceptionally well,

Despite the complaints, Zuko couldn't bear the thought of their daughter sleeping in a separate room. It was his idea to bring the crib into their bedroom.He gently approached, took their baby girl from Lina's arms, and began soothing her with tender words."Honey, you should go to sleep first. I'll hold her for a while," he said.Lina's eyes glistened with tenderness.Even before Persephone was born, Lina had read many posts about women's challenges after childbirth on different websites. Some described husbands who offered little help, acting like absent parents. Others talked about widow-style parenting, where women cared for their children and husbands, leaving themselves exhausted.Zuko, however, was different.Since Persephone's birth, he had been actively involved in everything, even though they had hired help for various tasks. He handled diaper changes, prepared bottles, washed them, and even took part in massages and skin-to-skin contact. Despite having caregivers, he

At Centrolis Prison.The tall building cast a somber shadow beneath the gray sky, and the surrounding barbed wire sent shivers down spines.Lina frowned, her steps heavy as if each foot carried a thousand pounds."If you don't want to go, you don't have to," Zuko said and wrapped his arm around her, sensing her unease. "Dealing with someone like her isn't necessary..."Lina glanced down, then replied softly, "Let's still go and see her. We've shared so many experiences, and those real memories can't be easily discarded. I'd rather believe Renee is ill than accept that she's gone bad."Zuko's grip on her shoulder tightened, and he walked alongside her with determination.The meeting place had a transparent partition. Lina saw the iron door open, revealing a haggard and cold face. Renee's eyes betrayed indifference, and she smiled mockingly.Renee wore rough clothes, her once-long hair cut short to her ears. She sat across from them, looking like a lifeless puppet.After a long s

Zuko's expression darkened."Lina, I asked you here today for one reason only," Renee said, looking at Lina intently. "You're a mother now. Whatever you do, please prioritize your daughter."Lina frowned. "What do you mean?""Cuz, are you planning to keep Lena with you?"Renee's eyes gave off a mocking gleam, unsettling Lina."I've been having nightmares lately... Remember when we were kidnapped and taken on that ship? We met Madame Krys there."Remember her? She was a human trafficker! Haha!" Renee laughed oddly. "She had another identity—she was Lena's mother!""Have you said enough?" Lina's face grew serious. "If you called me here just for this nonsense, I don't want to hear it!"Lina stood to leave.Behind her, Renee's voice turned hysterical and venomous. "You're guarding her like a treasure, but have you considered she's Krystal's daughter? She's the child of a human trafficker!"Lina halted, her back stiff as she turned around.A prison guard moved to restrain Renee,

Bianca suffered during the few days in the mountainous area.She had followed Chris and Lena all the way, but when they got off the train, it seemed like Chris had completely forgotten her existence.When they boarded a bus to head into the mountains, she didn't have any change, so Chris kindly helped her buy a ticket. But his demeanor toward her was like she was a complete stranger, merely assisting out of goodwill.Bianca tried to strike up conversations with him, but he brushed her aside, showering all his attention on Lena. Throughout the journey, Bianca gained nothing more than witnessing their affectionate interactions.In the mountainous region, she made it her mission to show up wherever they went, even visiting the local school and volunteering to take photos of the children with her camera. But Chris' attitude toward her remained lukewarm. His gaze was solely on Lena.Moreover, the signal was terrible in the mountains, making it difficult for Bianca to find someone to ve

Chris paused, then embraced her even tighter. Edward chuckled and excused himself to fetch some hot water.The mountain air had turned a bit chilly, and the desolate surroundings stirred up unpleasant memories deep within Lena."I ran away from there after growing up, and I've never dared to return," she whispered. "Even though I came here to teach in this mountainous region, I can never cross that mountain.""It's okay," Chris reassured her, gently caressing her hair. "There's nothing worth missing in that place. Plus, he's not your biological father."Lena looked up at him. "Chris, can I ever overcome this mountain? Do you think it's possible?"Chris' heart tightened. As he gazed into her bright eyes, he found himself at a loss for words."Lenny, you don't need to conquer everything in life. We won't be staying here, and this mountain won't relocate to Centrolis. This may be the last time you see this mountain in your life."So, avoiding it isn't a bad thing." He smiled tender

Bianca struggled to maintain her balance, desperate not to clumsily tumble over. Lena looked at her in puzzlement, frowning before silently entering the guesthouse. Chris was preparing to follow suit when Bianca abruptly stopped him."Chris, can you spare a moment to talk to me?"Chris sidestepped her touch and kept a respectful distance, his gaze distant. "What's up?""W-Why are you treating me this way?" Bianca's eyes welled up with tears. "Weren't we close as kids? But now you're so distant! You—"Chris interrupted gravely, "Bianca, our childhood is in the past. I'm only being considerate because of our history.""Chris!""I have a girlfriend, who will be my future wife and the mother of my children." Chris's voice held determination. "I'm keeping my distance from other women out of respect for my devotion to her."Bianca froze, disbelief washing over her.In her mind, Chris had always been like a steadfast tree, never showing interest in anyone. She had assumed they would

"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
