Although Wynn didn't know exactly who Persephone was, he could tell she was a girl her
family had cherished since birth. Now that she was unable to return home and amidst the
chaos in Flinge, she must be feeling very scared.
Then there was Morpheus... Even though his life was saved, he had been lying in bed for
over half a month, barely conscious.
When he wasn't clear-headed, he would call out Persephone's name. When he was lucid,
he would stare blankly at the ceiling, perhaps thinking about Persephone.
If only they could meet...
Seamus suddenly spoke up. "By the way, Wynn, how is Morpheus doing?"
Wynn paused for a moment before honestly replying, "Not too good. That match was an
accident. The thing he took before the match... Anyway, he was schemed against. I
suspect it was Fat Jim... But who knows? These things are hard to say."

"Morpheus is severely injured. He's just holding on to life right now. What happens next...
it's up to God."
"Take this to him."
"What?"
Wynn was taken aback only to see Seamus toss several packets onto the table. He picked
them up and smelled them. They all carried an herbal scent.
"These are pre-concocted herbs. Take them to Morpheus."
"This..."
"Don't worry." Seamus smirked. "Sephy prepared them."
"Sephy?" Wynn was astonished.
"Yes, Morpheus should know. Sephy knows a bit about this stuff." Seamus raised his hand.
"That night, I was almost beaten to death, and Sephy's been making this herbal
concoction for me. This formula reduces swelling and stops bleeding. It works."
"Really..." Wynn smiled. "I didn't know Sephy knew how to prepare medicine!"
Seamus nodded, but there was something cryptic in his smile. He had long ago detected
that something was off about the medicine.
Persephone had spent her childhood in Southeast Aciatic, and he had too. When
Persephone learned about herbal medicine from the royal doctors there, how could he
have not heard about it? Given their shared exposure, how could he not realize that the
medicine was problematic?
In fact, Persephone must have known the medicine was problematic as well! Yet, she still
made him take it! What was she trying to do? Was she trying to harm him?
Seamus clenched his fists, a chill flashing in his eyes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"In that case, let me thank you on behalf of Morpheus!" Wynn smiled.
"No worries," Seamus said flatly. "He had also taken care of Sephy before. I should thank
him if anything. Wynn, when you return, don't forget to tell him that... Sephy specifically
prepared this medicine for him, okay?"
He emphasized the words "specifically prepared" through gritted teeth.
Wynn didn't grasp his meaning and continued to respond with a smile. "Yeah, yeah, I get
it! This is Sephy's heartfelt gesture toward him!"
"Right." Seamus sneered. "As long as you understand!"
Meanwhile, Persephone was rummaging through Seamus' room, overturning everything.
She didn't know what she was looking for—she was just aimlessly searching. The chilling
words on that note haunted her mind like a nightmare.
[Beware of those around you.]
Apart from Seamus, who else could be considered as people around her?
