Aurelia looked a little confused.She had never been to school and lived in a slum when she was young. She did not even know how to write her name. As for reading, her neighbor, the old nomad woman, had taught her.Later, she learned that the old woman was also semi-literate and had not exactly taught her correctly. Growing up a bit more, she picked up textbooks that others did not want to read herself. Perhaps she was really gifted. She could understand as soon as she took a look.By self-studying, she managed to get rid of her illiterate status, albeit barely and even learned to speak Acian aside from Chaisene. She did not set foot in a school until she came to Southeast Aciatic.However, this school was nothing like the one that Cordelia talked about. There were no mischievous boys, only students who kept working hard.She could not understand what Cordelia was talking about. Listening to the story still felt interesting even if she could not understand it. Aurelia supported

Zuko was familiarly navigating his way and ran out of it with Aurelia after a few turns."Baby, let's hurry and go back," Aurelia said softly. "Be good! Your mother will be worried otherwise!""His mother won't be worried! I'm the one who's waiting anxiously!"A husky voice echoed. Aurelia halted in her steps and stiffened up with a blush that reached the tips of her ears. She bit her lips and stood frozen against the voice.Zuko looked at Neil and smiled when the latter gave him an "OK" sign. He let go of Aurelia's hand and took a small ice cream cone from Neil with a skip, enjoying it happily.Neil asked a maid to take Zuko to Cordelia.He and Aurelia were the only two people left in the bushes.Aurelia took a deep breath. The damp summer breeze brushed past her ear like a melodic tune. She could smell the floral and fruity fragrance in the air, and her heart trembled like the birds' chirps.She was still holding the small firefly, which glowed at its tail—it was the small di

Neil looked up at the bright sunny day and barely could keep his eyes open from the glare. He remained unfazed."Oh, uh… Actually, my shoulder hurts too when the weather's fine. Hah, Southeast Aciatic is close to the ocean. The air is humid. A little humidity, and my shoulder doesn't feel good."Aurelia no longer knew what to say. She thought of what Cordelia had said—"He likes you so much that he doesn't know how to express it."—and her heart jolted with warmth.In her old world, no one had ever expressed it like this. It was childish and ridiculous, but it was warming and moving.Whether what Neil said was true or not, the wound on his shoulder was because of her. He had acted and added the touch of drama all for her.Aurelia chuckled with her head down. The already fragile defense in her heart collapsed entirely."Aurelia, just forgive me this one time." Neil's voice was deep and sincere. "I promise that I won't add any drama on my own from now on. You're the only director and

"His uncle's stingy, though. Did he think we could be bought over with one ice cream cone?"Zuko, who heard "ice cream cone", looked up at his father cutely with his big eyes, his face smudged with melted ice cream like a kitten. He thought that his father wanted some, so he handed the cone to him with a smile.Zephyr was caught by surprise before he was significantly moved. Who said that sons bonded better with their mothers? His son was showing affection to him too!Even Cordelia sounded jealous when she said, "Sigh! Looks like Daddy's more important to you, huh? You gave Mommy a bug and thought of Daddy when you have a yummy treat!""Why? Are you jealous that our son thinks of me?" Zephyr lost himself in bliss once more.Cordelia glanced at him without saying anything.Zuko's chubby hand remained raised, holding the ice cream as he blinked big eyes at his father and stammered, "A little… A little bit!"He meant for Zephyr to try a little bit.How could the overly gleeful Mr.

Things went smoothly for Aurelia and Neil.It was said that Noah went to the palace with gifts to propose their marriage the next day.Alexander was close with the Harrises to start with, so he very much approved of the union.Helene was still not in her right mind, but she no longer harbored the usual hostility toward Neil this time. When everyone discussed the details of the marriage in the hall, she sat quietly by the side, carrying her pillow, her sunken eyes watching all of them curiously yet timidly.Later, she softly added, "Don't bully my baby. You can't bully her!"Neil was startled to find that Helene was staring at him. Suddenly, a complex feeling rushed to his heart."Auntie, don't worry." Alexander walked over and gave her a gentle hug. "Neil's a very good person. I promise he'll be loyal to Aurelia."Helene seemed to have understood the discussion about the marriage just now, but she seemed to not understand it again now as she rocked, holding her pillow and hummin

Five years later…Zuko was now an elementary school student. No longer having the baby fat he had when he was younger, he was a little taller than his peers and more athletic compared to regular children.His physical abilities were not the only thing developed, but his brain worked fast as well. He showed an amazing talent for logic and memory at a young age. He followed his academic prodigy of an aunt's study plan strictly as well, growing to be an acknowledged academic overachiever in school too.He was the pride of Cordelia and Zephyr and the future hope of the Hamertons.Furthermore, he was admired by his younger Zuko, Toph Hamerton, like an idol.Yeap, that was right… A younger Zuko.Five years ago, Zuko thought that he would have a younger sister. But when the adults at home hurried to the hospital one day, leaving him and Helen at home, he saw her tinkering with a deck of tarot cards mysteriously and smiling cryptically as she told him, "Looks like your father will be dis

The atmosphere between the father and his two sons was a bit cold... Toph could not help sneezing.After a moment of silence, Zephyr said in a low voice, "Go get changed. We're going out later.""Huh?" Zuko was surprised. "Dad, I still have extra tutoring...""I've already asked your teacher for a leave."The little boy was a bit confused. "What could be more important than me going to class?""Zuko Hamerton!" Zephyr raised his voice. "Do what I tell you to do. Where did this nonsense come from!?""Oh..." Zuko shrank into himself silently.Zephyr put his hands behind his back and walked away after giving them both a stern look.Only after Zephyr was far away did Toph dare to stick his head out and ask his brother in a low voice, "What's wrong with dad today?""Sigh." Zuko shook his head. "Maybe he's annoyed about his pocket money!""That makes sense." Toph agreed with the statement. "Mom gives us more pocket money every month than she gives him!""Of course! We're mom's real

"There are still some relatives on his side," Linda said softly. "It's just that they looked down on him during those years he was in a gang and avoided him."Now that they see he's gotten rich and successful as the boss of an entertainment company, they're eager to curry favor with him!"Linda pursed her lips. The Thompson relatives had basically all visited their home in recent years. It was to borrow some money today, find a job the next day, ask to join the board of directors the day after, and demand shares afterward.When Nicholas refused, they guilt-tripped him in his family's name and then threatened to expose that he was once a gang member. Sol Entertainment had always been caught in rumors and scandals mainly due to these absurd relatives' doing.Nicholas had seen more to life and was unfazed by their tricks. His way was tough and firm, too, so he had offended many people along the way.In addition to his previous involvement in the gangs, he had made many enemies. Altho

"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
