Persephone and Christopher exchanged smiles.

Allure filled his eyes, accompanied by a faint sadness. He desired to hold her hand but retracted it immediately after lifting it.

The last thing he wanted was for her to hate him. It was wonderful that he could be by her side as good friends.

"Oh yes, how's your design project going lately?" Christopher changed the subject. "The professor has been rejecting it."

"It's for the Flower Festival," she replied, looking down. "I came up with a couple of drafts, but the professor rejected them. I was thinking maybe I should do a site recce?"

"You mean the fireworks factory?" He was rather shocked to hear that.

Although the fireworks factory exclusive for the royalty had high security, fireworks were gunpowder, after all. It was risky.

"Yes." She nodded. "I want to check out the site to hear the experienced pyrotechnicians' opinions. I might get inspiration from them."

"But you're the designer. It's unnecessary."

Persephone chuckled. "I've

    Rebecca was visibly upset as she confronted Morpheus. "You don't have to draw a line between us, right?"Morpheus glanced at his phone. "I'll get you a taxi. Go home."Her voice choked, and she asked, "Do you hate me so much?"With his back turned, Morpheus behaved as coldly as if they were strangers.Rebecca anticipated he wouldn't send her home himself, but she hoped at least for his assistant to send her home. Yet, he did none of that.Calling a taxi, he treated her as if she were just another normal friend.Tears welled up, and her emotions erupted. Fueled by the alcohol in her system, she shed the image of the rational and calm psychologist she was, finally expressing what she had been holding back."Morpheus, you and Persephone really don't suit each other.""I've said that you can't judge whether we suit each other or not!" Morpheus was now angry. "Rebecca, I treat you as my friend, but don't cross the line!""She's the one who crossed the line!""Shut your mouth!""I

    Rebecca stared blankly at Morpheus, shaking her head repeatedly."You should know that anyone who attempts to hurt Sephy will suffer," Morpheus warned in a deep voice."I—"He conveniently grabbed an empty beer bottle and slammed it onto the ground. It crushed entirely, leaving glass shards scattered.Shocked, she retreated, screaming.Morpheus, however, didn't even blink at the shattered bottle."I don't know who you are, nor do I know what you're trying to do," he said coldly. "But if you dare touch Sephy, you'll end up worse than this bottle. Get it?"Teary-eyed, she dared not make a sound, only shivering.Morpheus got up and left, resembling a black-clad slayer walking through hell.-The next day, Morpheus' assistant revealed the investigation details."Indeed, Rebecca is from the Hamerton Group's medical team. She majors in physiology, but there's nothing off about her. She bought the pictures from someone else.""What?""She bribed a Hamerton maid, as well as Ms. Ha

    "Book a ticket to Southeast Aciatic for me," Morpheus instructed, turning to his assistant. "Please take care of the club for me in the meantime."-Christopher stood by Persephone's side as she pulled an all-nighter working on the design draft. He smiled as he observed her deep in thought, occasionally sighing.He offered her a cup of hot chocolate and warmly said, "I remembered that you like sweet things. Sweet food lifts one's mood. Will you drink some?""No need, thanks," she replied with a smile."Are you on a diet?""No!""Then…"He still held the hot chocolate, realizing she refused it because of that man. Chuckling at himself, he put the drink away."Sephy, is he that amazing?" he asked softly."Of course he is," she replied without looking up, completely focused on the draft.He didn't press further. He had heard that the man didn't have a great background in Flinge, often appearing at underground rings and having connections with gangs in the chaotic city filled wi

    "Morpheus!" Persephone exclaimed. She couldn't tear her eyes away from the screen. "Where are you right now? I'll pick you up?""No need." He managed a forced smile. "It's late. It's not safe for you to be out. Let's—""It's safe, very safe!"As she spoke, she swiftly changed her clothes.After emerging from the changing room, she picked up her phone and grinned at him. "Morpheus, I—"He gently interrupted, "Sephy, you really don't have to pick me up. I have a place to stay.""But you're not familiar with Southeast Aciatic!""It's alright." He smiled. "Be a good girl and go to bed. We'll meet tomorrow.""But…"Persephone was visibly upset as she wanted to see him right now.Didn't he feel the same? Which couple could wait to see their partner in the same city after being apart for so long?"Okay." Resigned, she acknowledged his character. Nobody could change his mind once he decided on something. "Promise me that we will meet tomorrow.""I promise."He smiled gently and hu

    “You…”"You can't see my sincerity, but would you like to touch it?" Morpheus teased.Persephone blushed, unable to conceal the smile on her face.She pushed him forcefully, and he pulled her into his arms.Persephone was surprised to witness this side of him. After all, he was typically calm and composed..."Okay, I'll stop messing around," he said softly. "They have some amazing specialty dishes here. Let's eat, then I'll go wherever you like for the rest of the afternoon. How's that?"She nodded and glanced around after taking her seat, realizing it was a beautiful place. Though small, they weren't stingy with the decoration—sophistication exuded from every corner.She noticed a crystal bottle similar to the one she had seen in the palace on the cabinet..."Where's this place, Morpheus?" She looked at him curiously. "How come I never knew about it?"Hearing that, he chuckled. She had only been in Southeast Aciatic for a short period, so it was natural she didn't know.More

    Persephone wore a look of concern as she inched closer to Morpheus. "D-Do you not like it?"Just then, the final firework illuminated the sky brightly.She had designed it especially for him. The silver sparks gleamed like a thousand stars, with two letters shining brightest in the middle—MY."Morpheus, see the 'MY' in the middle?" She smiled. "I designed that for you!"Do you like it?"Morpheus?"Morpheus stood frozen, like a cold sculpture.His heart pounded, but he could only hear the flying bullets in the battle—a haunting echo of his troop's last scream at the battle's end.It was his father's final bellow of despair.Morpheus covered his ears and squatted down weakly, his head throbbing with pain.“No… No…”"Morpheus!"Persephone was shocked by what she saw. She attempted to hug him, but he pushed her away. Despite being wounded from the push, she ignored it and tried to embrace him again."What's wrong, Morpheus? You're scaring me!"He trembled and sweated as if hi

    "Persephone!" Christopher shouted, "You better make this clear to me today. Is that person treating you poorly?"Persephone felt a splitting headache.How could Morpheus possibly treat her poorly? It was just that his behavior tonight was really unusual.Christopher stared quietly at her, not pressing for more. After a silent moment, he walked toward the door."I'll get a doctor here," he murmured. "Your injuries need immediate attention in case they get infected. Don't worry. I won't gossip about your injury. As for that person... If being with him is really exhausting for you, do you want to consider...""No!" Persephone's voice was resolute, making Christopher's heart clench."I understand your kind intentions and appreciate your concern for me." She looked up at him. "But being with him is not tiring for me at all. Today was just an accident. He wasn't like this before.""Don't let your infatuation cloud your judgment and think he's perfect everywhere!" Christopher sighed. "

    "Morpheus, why do you always say sorry to me?" Persephone's voice was soft, but every time he apologized, she felt uneasy. "I don't like hearing you say sorry. You surely know what I'd rather hear.""Yeah, I know." After a brief silence, Morpheus gently uttered three words, "I love you."Persephone's heart seemed to skip a beat."From now on, I'll replace 'sorry' with 'I love you'. Do you like hearing that?""Morpheus..."She wasn't prepared at all. Morpheus always launched a "sudden attack" when she least expected it.Persephone laughed, but there was a tinge of soreness in her heart."I want to see you right away," Morpheus whispered. "I can't just say these three words over the phone. I want to say them to you in person until you're tired of hearing them."But she would never tire of hearing them—she wanted to hear them for a lifetime."Unfortunately, that won't work now," Persephone said softly. "I have classes this morning. Also, the butler told me that Rebecca is coming

    "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
