Creepy Nico

"Percy!"

Persephone looked back to find Nico leaning against the wall. When she was initially inside the bridal room, a maid came to inform her that someone was calling for her outside. Thinking it was her father, she quickly came out. 

However, all of her good mood spoiled when she found Nico waiting for her there. 

So, much for ignoring the man. 

"You have been trying to ignore me,"Nico said when he saw that Persephone had no intention of breaking the silence. He stared at her for a long time and then sighed realizing how much she has changed in the whole month. She was no longer the sweet and submissive Persephone Marino he knew. The woman in front of him was indifferent and unconcerned. 

It wasn't like he didn't like this side of Persephone. It was just that he could not accept why she has changed so much. 

He couldn't forgive himself for failing to protect one person that he had vowed to protect even at the cost of his life.
