Morpheus stood there steadily, devoid of any fear.

At Christopher's signal to seize him, the guards were all taken aback when they saw his face, halting in

their tracks and refusing to move forward.

"What are you doing?!" Christopher demanded angrily. "This man is scheming to get close to Ms.

Hamerton with ill intentions! Why aren't you arresting him?"

"Your Highness..." The guards looked at Christopher. "This... This is..."

Even Christopher found this peculiar. From the man's back view, he seemed slightly more robust than

an average person. The palace guards were the cream of the crop, so how could they be easily

intimidated by someone like him?

Since they wouldn't act, he decided to take matters into his own hands!

Christopher dashed forward, snatching a gun from one of the guards. As he raised the butt of the gun

to strike, other guards rushed in and actually restrained him!

"Are you all insane?!" Christopher was hysterical.

"Your Highness, you can't... Please, don't take action."

"Your Highness, calm down..."

"Your Highness!"

At that moment, Morpheus slowly turned around.

The anger Christopher felt a moment ago turned into pure astonishment.

Morpheus smiled, but his eyes were icy. Just like years ago when he stood before the old king, vowing

to quell the rebellion and fighting to the end...

The gun in Christopher's hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

"How could it be you..."

"Your Highness...." Morpheus' voice was low. "Have you been well?"

He bowed deeply to Christopher, who hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

Even at that moment, Christopher was somewhat flustered. "General, you don't need to be so polite!"

"You're the prince. Proper decorum is expected," Morpheus said. "And I am no longer a general.

There's no need for formality with me."

"Is it really... you?" Christopher stared at him, his expression somewhat complex.

No wonder the guards reacted to Morpheus as if they were wolves encountering a lion. Once wolves

sensed the lion's scent from afar, they wouldn't dare approach.

Morpheus' intimidation was even more formidable than a lion.

During the rebellion that almost overturned the entire country, had it not been for Morpheus'

intervention, Southeast Aciatic might have faced a change in ruler long ago.

He was hailed as a god of war throughout the country. But at the height of his glory, he quietly left

Southeast Aciatic.

Christopher never expected that the man Persephone spoke of as her boyfriend would turn out to be

him...

"Why that expression, Your Highness?" Morpheus smiled. "Don't want to see me that badly?"

"No, no!" Christopher scratched his head awkwardly with a smile as well. He ordered the guards to

open the gates and inform everyone to welcome General Orton with the highest honors.

However, Morpheus stopped him. "It's late now, it's not proper."

"But—"

"I told you, I am no longer a general." Morpheus looked at him. "Your Highness, if you remember my

contribution to quelling the rebellion years ago, please pretend tonight's events never happened. I just

want to live an ordinary life, to... be with the person I love."

After a moment of contemplation, Christopher nodded solemnly. He suddenly felt relieved. No wonder

he couldn't win over Persephone, and no wonder he couldn't defeat the person she loved...
