"Take the initiative since she doesn't!" Cordelia was impatient for them."Am I not taking enough initiative?" Neil frowned and put on his prideful front again. "I've already confessed once… and she was playing with a frog when I did it! I won't do this a second time. How bruised would my ego be otherwise!?"“…”"Never mind, I'll take my time with her." Neil smirked. "We'll see who lasts till the end!"Cordelia fled, covering her face. These two people were not easy to handle—they were a persistent pair who loved irritating each other."Hey, Cordelia, why are you leaving? I haven't finished telling you my plan!""Not gonna hear it!" Cordelia fled. "Zuko's asking for me!""There's one more thing!" Neil shouted from the back, "Didn't Aurelia get a checkup after she got hurt? What does the report say? Is it with Uncle Rowan?"…Victoria arrived at the side hall, where Carmella had been waiting for her. Even though she was anxious, she kept her cool on the outside."Auntie—"Bef

"As for Aurelia Chilton…" Carmella looked at Victoria in annoyance.She honestly had yet to figure out what to do with Aurelia.For the time being, it looked like she was who Neil cared about. Based on how Noah doted on Neil, in addition to Noah not having a preference for status and family background, it was highly possible that he would allow Neil to marry Aurelia.Instead of letting Victoria throw her tantrum and kick up a fuss, offending the Harrises, she might as well be of help and use Aurelia to gain the Harrises' support.Her ultimate goal was to keep the reign for Martin anyway.Carmella loved Martin. As long as it was beneficial to him, she did not care about the price she had to pay. Whether it was the Irwins or the Harrises, they would be sources of strength Martin could use if she managed to pull them to her side.She would resort to any measure to eliminate anyone who dared stop her!"Auntie…" Victoria looked at her cautiously. "What will you do about Aurelia?"Ca

Rowan paused and smiled instead of answering.Alexander turned around to help him out. "Mr. Irwin, I heard that you have some White Egret Orchids here, which are rare. It's the blooming season now. I wonder if I'd be lucky to have a look?""Of course!" Rowan quickly replied, "This way, please, Your Highness!"Alexander and Rowan went off to look at the flowers as they chatted. Victoria, who was left behind, looked enraged."Your Highness, no need to get petty with them!" her maid appeased from the side."Hah, what's there to be petty about?" Victoria snickered, "I'm the future ruler. They'll regret it for disregarding me like this now!""Yes, when the time comes!" Her maid then eyed her discreetly for her to look at the window.When Victoria came to the window, she heard the laughter outside. There were two people by the pool—Aurelia and Neil…Irwin Manor was close to the rainforest, and the pool was connected to the pond. Palm trees thrived by the bank, and the air smelled flo

Zephyr sighed with a hand over his face.His days before he had a son had been great… Cordelia had been gentle and docile like a bunny and liked to snuggle him the most—she had claimed that it was where she felt the safest in the world…Now?Their son had taken over her, her heart, and her entire world!Zephyr came up with ways to change this. Weaning Zuko was one of his solutions.When the baby was six months old, Cordelia produced less milk, and the quality was not that great. Zuko was also teething then, and his gum was sore, so Cordelia was often in pain from all the gnawing.Once, when the baby fed and gnawed simultaneously and Zephyr saw how Cordelia bit her lips, refusing to cry out even when she was sweating in pain, his heart squeezed.She dared not cry out because she feared scaring the baby, but Zephyr was not letting Zuko get his way. He picked up a toy on the side, attracting their son’s attention. As expected, Zuko let go, and his eyes followed the toy.Zephyr smi

Alexander invited the Hamerton couple and their child to be his guests at the palace. He also got the best photographer in Southeast Aciatic to take a family photo for them.Zuko was not quite good at walking and sometimes needed a baby walker, but he liked the royal garden. He flailed his chubby arms on the lawn, gurgling in excitement to greet the butterflies and birds.Zephyr picked him up for a ride on his shoulders, and the baby shrieked out of the fun he had.Cordelia's heart lurched watching them, and she wanted to stop Zephyr several times but was held back by Alexander."Don't worry. Mr. Hamerton must know what he's doing and won't hurt your son!" He smiled.Cordelia took a pause before she smiled. Despite what Alexander said, he had asked the palace guards and maid to follow the father and son. Even if Zephyr missed, they could absolutely be able to catch the baby.Cordelia was grateful as she chortled. "Thank you, Your Highness.""I just like to see him smile." Alexan

Neil saw Victoria walking toward them from afar and furrowed his brow. He put an arm around Aurelia and took her to the side.The others understood it when they saw Neil’s reaction. Although they did not want to offend the princess, the Harrises were no pushovers either. Hence, they bowed in courtesy and sought excuses to walk away.Victoria could not believe it. Everyone just ignored her!“Victoria.” Alexander’s voice came from behind her.She turned around and saw her brother’s small smirk.“I’ve told you not to regard the royal status so highly.” He spoke softly. “People are no fools. They know what’s significant and not!”“What?” Victoria sneered. “I can’t join in the fun now too? This is the palace. It’s my home. Do you think it’s right that you host a party here without the owner’s permission!?”“You’re going too far, Victoria. Since when is the palace your home? This is our uncle’s home. We are only being allowed to stay here!”“You…”“And I’ve told our uncle about this

The maid could guess that Victoria was most likely angry because of Aurelia again.The maid said obsequiously, "Your Highness, there's a news update…"Victoria frowned. "What is it?""The investigator says that Aurelia grew up in the Melorian slum and spent her time with the nomads. Her parents are both illegal immigrants. Her father's a drug addict, and her mother's a prostitute. They abandoned her at a young age.""So, she most probably isn't related to Aunt Helene."Victoria breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she was being overly suspicious."Of course not, Your Highness!" The maid smiled. "That b*tch has a lowly background. It's her luck that she could come to Southeast Aciatic! Your Highness, what… What's gotten into you today? Did you get into an argument with Mr. Harris again?"Victoria turned away in frustration.It would be better if they did argue! She did not know how badly Neil was injured and how she should wrap this matter up…Carmella had warned her the l

Zephyr was rendered speechless.If Cordelia made up her mind that she would not have kids anymore, would that not mean… He could not fool around with her in the bed anymore…Having kids was second—it would be terrible if they could no longer fool around!What was wrong with him lately? He said something wrong or was close to saying something wrong!He quickly grabbed her shoulders and whispered into her ear, "That's not what I meant, wifey! I-I mean, I said before that I'd spoil you like you're like my daughter!"Cordelia chuckled. "Oh, please!""I'm serious." He was smiling with his eyes. "In my life, I only want a "daughter" like you…""You b*stard!"Nobody knew when Rowan entered the side palace. Zephyr locked eyes with his father-in-law, who was in disbelief as soon as he lifted his head."What nonsense are you talking about?"Zephyr was at a loss for words."How dare you say that?"Rowan was disinfecting his needles, so he picked one up conveniently in an attempt to st

"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
