Aurelia’s face burned as she stood there in shame.Carmella got up and around the long table to slowly make her way to Aurelia. She pointed at one of the garments and told her, “This is one of the gold-couching techniques. The raw material for the gold thread used here comes from a neighboring country of Southeast Aciatic. The annual yield isn’t a lot, so it’s very precious. The thread is soft and fragile, not having much flexibility, so one has to be exceptionally careful when embroidering to be able to keep the thread whole."Aurelia had heard about this, but this was her first time seeing it.“This style has high requirements for one’s needlework techniques.” Carmella looked at her calmly. “This robe alone took five to six months and the collaboration of several veteran artisans."Aurelia bit her lips and stayed quiet.“Ms. Aurelia, I’m not doubting your ability,” Carmella said softly. “But sometimes, whether a person can accomplish something doesn’t depend on their ability but

Aurelia bit her lips, her beautiful amber eyes filled with resolution."Ms. Aurelia, have you made up your mind?"Carmella was confident.The sum of money in the envelope was enough for her to live a good life for quite some time, and a Southeast Aciatic passport was the dream of many. The girl would have both of these. What was there for her to say no to?It thus surprised Carmella that Aurelia scoffed. Her unaffected gaze was slightly disdainful. "Do you think I see uncle as a transaction tool like you all?"Carmella knitted her brows in alarm. "What did you say?"Aurelia picked up the envelope and uttered each word seriously, "As long as I agree to your conditions, I'll receive money and official Southeast Aciatic citizenship! You're right. I need both of these. But I'll work for what I need. I won't exchange Neil for them!""You…""Your Majesty, pardon my impoliteness." Aurelia bowed and looked up straight into her eyes. "But I want to tell you that you won't be able to sto

The palace guard noticed Alexander and quickly straightened up to bow."Your Highness!"Carmella took a pause before she slowly opened her resting eyes. Alexander was already standing before her with hands on his sides as he greeted her respectfully, "Good morning, Auntie.""It's not morning anymore." Carmella smiled. "I heard you young people like having, what's it called… brunch? Hah, I have some light food with me here. Treat it as brunch. Come have something to eat!""Thank you, Auntie. I'm not hungry." Alexander quietly looked around with an alert expression but did not see Aurelia at all."Alexander, what are you looking for?""Nothing…""Are you looking for someone?"Alexander froze and hesitated for a moment before he replied honestly, "I heard that you asked Aurelia over. I have a few robes that I need her help with too. I wonder if she's done with you here.""She is." Carmella took a sip of tea nonchalantly. "But I've already sent her back.""Sent her back?"Alexan

Had Aurelia really left then?"Alexander, since we're at this point, I might as well let you know." Carmella heaved a long sigh. "I do want to pair your sister up with Neil, and I hope Aurelia's able to leave Southeast Aciatic on her own accord, but the girl didn't agree to it. I can't possibly force her, can I?"Don't worry. I know what I should and shouldn't do. It's not worth it to offend the Harris family over Aurelia!"Alexander looked skeptical but nodded.Carmella waved a hand to dismiss him, and her brows knitted into a frown after she calmed down.Where had Aurelia gone? Did she run into someone else after she left her place?Carmella's heart pounded as a name flashed in her mind."Call for Princess Victoria!" she asked loudly.…Aurelia curled up in the corner of the wall. The only feeling this place gave her was cold.White walls, white room, a white rug, and even the window frames were white. This was like a world of ice.Southeast Aciatic was a sweltering summer

Helen was gone in the blink of an eye. Aurelia stayed in the corner quietly as she stroked the thin blanket on herself and felt warmth gush into her heart.She had often chatted with her nomad neighbors back in Melorian in the past.The nomads loved fortune-telling and all things supernatural. They said that destiny and fate among people were just that, something that was beyond scientific understanding or the laws of nature.Meeting for the first time, some people felt as if they were old friends, and some people felt annoyed by each other.It was just like how Aurelia felt about Carmella and Helene. She did not like Carmella even though she was a queen. While Helene had wounded her, she subconsciously defended her—Princess Lene was only muddle-headed and did not hurt others intentionally…Aurelia sighed and was occupied with ways to escape.Carmella had actually let her leave the palace, but just as she left the queen's palace, she met Victoria coming over with her people. She

Zephyr smirked mysteriously. "He wants to keep her there for assistance."Cordelia paused before figuring it out after a while.Last time, Rowan had mentioned that someone would definitely fail to hold themselves back and want to kill Helene, yet he could not always be there to keep watch.Now that Aurelia was there, she was like a spy. She was smart and quick-witted, so she could work together with Rowan. If someone really wanted to harm Helene, they could discover it in time and do something as soon as possible."Dad's brilliant, huh!" Cordelia chuckled but was still worried. "Is Aurelia willing to do it, though?""I remember that Aurelia stayed in the hotel Neil stayed in for some time back in Melorian and was a neighbor with mom and dad, right? They had a good impression of her then, and you're kind to her. She's a grateful girl, so she agreed right away.""But Princess Lene's illness… I'm really afraid that she'll hurt Aurelia again.""Speaking of which, it's kind of strang

Zephyr smiled. Janine would never tell him whatever good news she had, as she always called Cordelia for it.To Janine, her daughter-in-law was her own child, while she must have picked up her son from the street.Zephyr knew his mother well too. Her good news was nothing more than their company stock price rising, their rival's stock price plummeting, or her business empire expanding, her sore thumb of an enemy being eliminated…In spite of it, Janine's sudden voice swiftly blanked Zephyr's mind for several seconds."I have a boyfriend… and I want you to meet him!""What!?"Zephyr shoved himself over immediately. If Cordelia had not been fast with her hands, he would have knocked his head on the phone screen."Mom, what did you say? You got a boyfriend? For real?"Cordelia kept shooting him looks to stop him from behaving so dramatically, but how could she understand his feelings as a son about his mother…Zephyr was not a pedantic person. Even when his parents' divorce had h

It was difficult to make the willful man admit his fragility, but his reaction was evidence that Cordelia was right.After a stretched moment of silence, Zephyr finally spoke up. "Yes, honey…"Cordelia stroked his face adoringly."My parents are good to me after their divorce, both families are, but there's still a knot in my heart."Aunt Cloud sees me as her own, but when I see her, Zennie, and dad together sometimes, I feel like they're a family of three, and I'm only an outsider."And mom's going to have her own family now too…"Zephyr smiled and let out a self-deprecating chuckle. He snapped back to himself briefly and looked at Cordelia to ask in worry, "Do you think I'm being petty?"Cordelia curled up in his arms. Her warmth and sweet fragrance were the one and only antidote in the world that slowly calmed Zephyr down."Silly." Her soft voice rang in his ear. "This isn't being petty. This is only human."Zephyr's heart clenched."Darling, why would you be left behind?

"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
