"Wynn..."
"Morpheus has been kind to me, and I hope for his happiness." Wynn looked at her intently. "And you, you're the
only girl in this world who has never looked down on me. I hope... you find even greater happiness than Morpheus."
Persephone choked up, unsure of what to say. Wynn seemed to understand her thoughts. He patted her head,
letting everything rest unspoken.
"I've never had a proper romantic relationship." He chuckled bitterly. "But I know love is a beautiful thing. Sephy,

Persephone gazed into the distance thoughtfully. A mist hovered over the sea, shrouding her heart as if she could

However, Wynn's words had an effect on her.
After descending the mountain, she inexplicably found herself at the place where Morpheus practiced boxing.
The entrance to the underground arena was tightly shut in broad daylight, guarded by people who were vigilant like
watchdogs. In spite of this, they recognized her and knew she was Morpheus' wife.
This was Persephone's second time coming here. The first time, she had been blindfolded and brought here against
her will. Then, she only felt the deafening noise and the murky air. She disliked it and didn't want to come near this

didn't want to sleep during the day but had no place to kill time. Sometimes, they'd bet on the winners and make a

When they saw Persephone, they acted like they saw a rare sight, talking while trying to touch her. Their eyes
carried daggers, scrutinizing her.
Persephone tried to avoid them. Fortunately, Wynn was there to protect her.
After playing around for a while, those women found it boring and dispersed.
One of the women turned around before leaving. She took a puff of smoke, arching her eyebrow at Persephone.

She had already spotted Morpheus. He had changed into sports pants, hands bandaged. His expression was
serious, and his eyes betrayed a hint of a killing intent, making his face appear even more stern. "Do you want to
watch Morpheus' match?" Wynn asked softly. "Or... should I take you back? This place, a girl like you can't handle it.
It's bloody everywhere, and you'll probably throw up in less than five minutes."
"But I want to see him," Persephone spoke softly but with unusual determination. "I want to see what kind of person
he truly is."
"He's different with you than he is with others."
