"Nothing." He shook his head. "Go in."Cordelia nodded and was going to walk away when she caught Alexander's gaze toward her house. It was like he was looking for something…She suddenly had an odd feeling.Alexander was nice to her and protected her where he could, but her sixth sense as a woman told her it was not romantic.Linda treated her like that, Trinity treated her like that, Zennie treated her like that, and Aurelia treated her like that… but Alexander was a man!Cordelia's heart dropped. She sneaked a glimpse at Alexander and forced a smile before she hurried home.Once she entered, she saw Zephyr serving dinner from the kitchen. When he saw her, he was still wearing an apron and smiled like he was fishing for compliments. "Welcome home, darling! Wash your hands, and let's eat."Cordelia was astonished, looking at the table of dishes."You made all these?"There was grilled steak, stuffed mushrooms, fried shrimp, baked potatoes… Zephyr even brought over two plates

Cordelia was rendered speechless. "I said us!"Not just to me and you. He's also nice to Neil and even Aurelia!"Before I got to know him, I thought that all the royals were high and mighty. Alexander changed my view. He's down to earth."Darling, why do you think that's the case?"Why? His love for a person extended to people around that person!Alexander was only looking out for the group around Cordelia because of her! Hah, an unexpected romantic!Zephyr took a deep breath. His fingers on the cutlery clenched, his knuckles turning white. There was no change in his expression, though, only rolling currents underneath his calm eyes."Maybe he wants to get the Irwins on his side." He smiled. "The Irwins are significant in Southeast Aciatic and are relatives to the Harrises. Getting you on his side gives him a higher chance of inheriting the throne.""Then why does Victoria—""This is where Alexander's brilliant!" Zephyr looked aloof. "Victoria's arrogant and domineering, but h

Neil had never thought he would see Victoria standing outside. He took a step forward subconsciously to shield Aurelia."Why? Aren't you introducing us to each other?" Victoria smiled, but her gaze toward Aurelia was piercing.This was her first time meeting Aurelia face to face. She was rather surprised.Previously, the people she sent to follow Aurelia reported to her what the girl looked like. Now that she saw her today, the girl's beauty surprised her.It was no wonder Neil kept coming for her all day long.Victoria bit her lips and forced a smile."Since you're not saying anything, I'll introduce myself!" She extended a hand. "I'm Victoria Charles. I'm also—""Also, the royal princess," Neil said in a low tone.His gaze was alert, and his brows were furrowed. Various thoughts flashed in his mind…Aurelia looked at her dumbly as she stood rooted in a loss."Your Highness." Neil nodded politely. "We didn't know you'd be here. It's rude of us! You… aren't here for clothes,

"That's impossible!" Neil said without any hesitation.He looked at Victoria coldly as if his gaze could cut.Victoria's smile was unfazed. This was the effect she wanted. The angrier Neil was, it proved that the more he would not trust Aurelia. This way, she would be able to come in between them."Neil, our uncle has taught us that we can't judge a book by its cover since we were kids!" Victoria said softly, "You haven't spent much time with Ms. Chilton, and you got to know each other in Chaiseland. How could you be so sure?"Besides, even if she does end up together with the owner's son, it's her private life. You have no right to stop her."Neil turned away, looking annoyed.Victoria continued. "Neil, we aren't promised to each other, but my uncle has repeatedly mentioned it to General Harris. He didn't agree to it but didn't reject it either!""What are you trying to say, Your Highness?""Don't worry." Victoria consoled, "If you don't want to be with me, I won't pester you

Neil was even more disgruntled.The shirt was a man's design. Why was she embroidering a rose on it? Did she not know that the rose stood for romantic love and longing!?Neil stood before Aurelia and knocked on the table.The moment Aurelia saw him, she flashed a relieved smile."Uncle!""Mm." Neil wore a poker face as he pretended to catch a glimpse of the shirt."Is this… a jacket?" he asked. "You made it?"This was a piece of traditional garment that Southeast Aciatic men generally wore on formal occasions."No!" Aurelia's smile was brighter than the sun. "This isn't new. He has worn it before. It's just that the collar's a bit worn, so I'm patching it up for him.""Him?" Neil frowned. "Which customer?""Not a customer. It's May's eldest son.""You…"Neil's eyes widened. Victoria's "She's engaged" echoed in his ears suddenly.Neil had asked for a favor from someone for the first time in his life over her temporary residence permit! He had braced himself to borrow the fo

Aurelia's heart thumped wildly.She was going to have a nosebleed from how tantalizing everything was! She was probably not the only woman who could not handle it, right? If it were any other woman in this world, she was sure they would not be able to handle this either!What should she do now, though?The chest muscles, abs, and Adonis belt looked really good. Maybe she should give them a feel? She was already so close to them anyway. It would be a real waste not to take the advantage presented to her…Aurelia cast her eyes down and tried to calm her breathing. Her breaths only grew more urgent the more she wanted to calm them down, and her cheeks flushed redder the more she tried to compose herself…She could only screw her eyes shut.It was like two little monsters were fighting in her heart.Neil looked at the girl's mental struggle in amusement but suddenly felt a rush of heat in himself. He licked his lips and waited for her next move like a hunter waiting for his prey.J

It was only then Neil realized that he had sat the whole afternoon in the tailor shop with a bare upper body.Not many people came this afternoon to tailor or collect clothes, but the few of them that did were frightened when they saw someone like this sitting in the shop.Although the man looked handsome, his scowl was dark, and he had his upper body bare… He did not seem decent at all!This was how Neil managed to deter the few customers they had.He had pulled the buttons of his shirt, so he could not wear it either. He sighed and put on the shirt, tying the ends of it together since there were no buttons and vaguely revealing his solid chest.He was going to leave when Aurelia came in with a bowl of cold rose-flavored jelly.The first thing she said when she saw him was: "Why are you still here!?"She then hid the jelly to herself and said, "This… This is mine."Neil felt speechless and suddenly thought the girl was a fool. Yeah, he was famous and charismatic. How did he ru

'Shorten it?' Aurelia was at a loss.Neil went closer to her, his tone probing. "Didn't I tell you that the queen likes the clothes you made? If you get the chance to become an embroidery artist in the palace, you'll get citizenship very soon, and you can make more money."Would you want a chance like that?"Aurelia felt like this was a stroke of luck hitting her right in the face.However, in her 18 years of life that was neither too long nor too short, according to her experience gained from her hard days, the better something sounded, the more dangerous a trap it was.The queen must have met so many talented people. Why would she insist that an unknown person like her go into the palace as an embroidery artist? Moreover, the palace was not a fun place to be. She did not have to be there to know it. Even when she did not know what the royal family was like, she had watched dramas. Those were people who looked calm and unfazed, but the struggle for power was overwhelming.Aure

"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
