"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 directly involved parties."
"True..." Christopher scratched his head. "How did the factory suddenly explode? Even though there were security lapses, it shouldn't have resulted in such a serious accident!"
"Security lapses are just one aspect." Morpheus' gaze grew serious. "Someone tampering behind the scenes is the main issue."
"Have you found out anything?"
Morpheus pursed his lips, a glint of determination flickering in his deep eyes.
"Whoever it is, that person must pay the price!"

Morpheus carried Persephone back to her hospital room, carefully laying her on the bed and placing a soft pillow behind her.
Persephone smiled. "I'm not actually in pain. I can walk by myself!"
He lowered his gaze in silence.
She wasn't in pain, but his heart ached. Especially seeing her covered in these bandages, he regretted not entering earlier. If he had stayed by her side that day, he would have been more alert to the danger, and she wouldn't have suffered so much.
He had lingered outside the factory all because he was afraid of fireworks.
