"Then... how should I respond?"Morpheus straightened up, unsure whether to frown or smile at the naive girl before him."They'll definitely inquire about what you did with me tonight," he said.Persephone blushed and shrank into herself.So, should she say he was great? She was inexperienced and didn't quite get these things, but in those romance novels she had secretly read before, the male leads were usually described as "great."..."Oh, I see," she murmured, her voice tiny like a mosquito."You might not fully understand." Morpheus lowered his head to look at her, emphasizing each word. "You need to tell Kourtney, I'm short, small, and quick. I'm done before three minutes is even up. And I look strong, but I'm actually not strong at all!""Huh?" Persephone widened her eyes, involuntarily gasping. She stupidly looked at him, noticing a mischievous smirk on his handsome face.Short, small, and quick, done before three minutes... Even though inexperienced, she knew what he mea

Persephone froze. No one had ever yelled at her like that before. Besides, she was a princess used to being waited on! Since she was a child, she never had to change her own slippers. Someone was always there to hand them over as soon as she entered the door.She lowered her head, murmuring softly, "I've never done these things.""If you've never done it, learn!" Morpheus' voice grew louder. "When living in someone else's house, voluntarily helping with chores is just basic courtesy! Didn't your parents teach you?"Persephone pressed her lips together, staring straight at him with tears swirling in her eyes."Why involve my parents?" Her voice trembled. "Just say it's about me."Morpheus glanced at her, feeling annoyed and helpless."Besides, I really haven't done these things!" Persephone became more upset. "I thought since you were coming home late today, I'd prepare dinner... but I don't know how! I... I wanted to order takeout, but I don't have my phone. They took it away and

Persephone paused for a moment, then shook her head with a smile.Wynn looked somewhat surprised, quietly gazing at her."You're not a monster." Persephone's voice was soft yet firm. "You're a good person.""You...""And who says you're disgusting? It's just your lifestyle that's different from others. How's that disgusting? It's not your fault that you like dressing in women's clothes and pretending to be one."Wynn was stunned for a while, his eyes gradually turning red. His lips moved, but nothing came out. Instead, he tightly held her hand."I... I have something else." He sobbed, "After you hear it, maybe you'll find it disgusting... My family is poor, and I had to start working early to support them. But being so peculiar, no one wanted to hire me. Then, I accidentally found that if I dressed in women's clothing and walked on this street, those perverted men would come looking for me... so I just..."Persephone froze, not knowing what he hadn't finished saying. But it prob

Persephone was frozen in place. Morpheus' imposing presence made her heart race. Despite his lack of expression, his calm demeanor was more terrifying than a fierce expression."No, no…" Her voice trembled. "I just wanted to contact my family to reassure them!""Once you connect with your family, can you guarantee they won't call the police?" Each word seemed like ice coming out of Morpheus' mouth. "With communication so advanced now, once you send a signal, the authorities will definitely track this place down!"Persephone looked at him nervously, her heart pounding."This place is entangled with various powers. It's not as simple as making a police call to resolve things! If calling the police could get you home, I would've done it the first day I met you!""I didn't mean to—" Persephone's eyes welled up, tears streaming down. "Let go, it hurts!"Morpheus paused as he realized he was clutching her slender arm, leaving red marks.He released his grip. Persephone wriggled backwa

Zephyr's voice was low. "Sephy, our men are on their way, and Nicholas has already intervened, making contact with the factions over there... No matter what happens, don't be afraid. We're here for you!"Persephone's heart skipped a beat, and she turned to look at the person beside her.Morpheus remained expressionless. Although the phone was old-fashioned, it didn't transmit sound. Even in this small, quiet room, he couldn't hear what was being said through the receiver. Besides, he had been constantly glancing out the window as if on alert.Persephone remembered his words. The situation here couldn't be resolved by calling the police, and she shouldn't endanger more people.She couldn't comprehend what it all meant, but the situation was likely far more complex than she imagined. She was grateful to have him during this time, ensuring her safe survival in this perilous situation.But if the Hamertons dispatched a large number of people...Persephone hesitated and said softly on
