章 50: 1.50 Ulterior motives

Persie stirred awake just a few minutes before dinner and quickly freshened up. The obligatory dressing requirement for every dinner with the Leos irritated him. He was accustomed to enjoying his meals in solitude, so why bother dressing up?

Opting for a more relaxed attire, he simply put on a shirt and pants, forgoing the tie and jacket. He loosely tied his hair into a half ponytail and made his way to the dining room.

As he strolled along, he activated Iris, who promptly appeared and inquired, "Master, are you alright?"

Persie flashed a reassuring smile. "I'm perfectly fine, Iris."

Observing him closely, Iris sensed a marked improvement in his demeanor and couldn't help but ask, "Something seems different; you appear to be in a great mood."

Naturally, Persie was in high spirits. He now had the unwavering assurance that Adonis was watching over him, having vowed to be his eternal guardian.
