Chapter 1958
Revolting filth spewed from the mouths of those two men.
In that instant, Persephone's mind went blank. She remembered the note also said: [Don't board the ship. There's danger.] This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
With what those two men said... Her heart dropped, and she felt as though she had stepped off a cliff into an abyss!
Persephone forced herself not to link these two things together, but could there really be such a coincidence in this world?
If the heiress the two men spoke of wasn't her, then what about the note?
Persephone slumped against a pillar, breathing heavily with cold sweat running down her body. However, she quickly calmed herself, turned to look at the two men, and discreetly followed them.
Shortly after, she witnessed the two men circling around the waiting room, then sneakily boarding a certain ship...
Under the moonlight, she discerned the ship's number on the hull—0829. It was the very ship Seamus had arranged to take her back to Centrolis!
Persephone felt hollowed out, like a bomb exploded in her mind, rendering her thoughts into blank chaos. She held her breath, suppressed her racing heartbeat, and subconsciously looked for Seamus.
As she ran back, she hesitated.
How could those two men board the ship? Hadn't Seamus arranged everything already?
Could it be... Seamus had also arranged those two?
Impossible!
Persephone squatted on the ground and clutched her head, tears streaming uncontrollably. Her world felt like the vast, endless black of the sea before her. It was an abyss of despair.

Seamus waited for quite a while. The ship's captain had sent people several times to urge him to board, but he saw no sign of Persephone.
He went to the restroom, finding it empty, not a soul inside.
Growing increasingly frustrated, he inadvertently saw the battered rose in the trash can. Suddenly, something flashed through his mind... and he dashed back toward the ship!
On the ship, one man said to the other, "Is this the place?"
"This ship isn't big, only three rooms. This one's the best... It must be here!"
"But the lights are out inside. It doesn't seem like anyone's there."
"The princess might be asleep?"
The two men shared a smile, about to break in when suddenly someone appeared, and a thick stick mercilessly struck one of them on the head!
"Ah!" one of the men screamed in pain.
