章 72: 1.72 Confusion

Iris hesitated, her gaze fixed on Persie. Doubt gnawed at her, uncertain if she should reveal everything she knew about Cole's recent actions.

A conflicting part of her worried that meddling would only serve to aid Lord Titan Kronos. However, Persie confessed he had feelings for Cole, and that added another layer of complexity to the situation.

Letting out a weary sigh, Iris spoke up, hoping to bring comfort to the distraught Persie. "Stop biting your lip. I promise you, everything will be alright."

Persie's head shook vehemently, tears cascading down his face. "You don't understand," he choked out, his voice quivering with a mixture of pain and frustration. "I have feelings for Demetrius. I shouldn't be feeling anything for Cole, let alone be hurt by him spending the night with Astra."

The weight of his emotions bore heavily on his trembling shoulders as he struggled to make sense of his conflicting desires.
