My Love Debts Are Everywhere!

"No, it's not the Holy Empire of Elysium; it's the Holy Orthodox."

Upon hearing her words, Leon wided his eyes, dumbfounded.

"Holy Orthodox?" he exclaimed in astonishmt, as if he could hardly believe what he was hearing.

The Holy Orthodox stood as one of the two strongest powers of mankind, alongside the Elysium Holy Empire.

However, in contrast to the Elysium Holy Empire, which frequtly raised the flag of war against the Demon race, the Holy Orthodox, on the other hand, rarely raised the flag of war for the Demon race.

Ev the number of wars initiated by the Holy Orthodox against the Demon Race could be counted on one's fingers.

So to speak, about 95% of the wars betwe the human race and the demon race were led by the Holy Empire of Elysium on the side of humanity.

Leon himself couldn't comprehd the stark differce in approach betwe these two formidable powers.

But surely, there must be a reason why the Holy Orthodoxy has consisttly maintained a passive stance compared to the Holy Empire of Elysium.

Liliana gave a small nod and responded, "Indeed, as I mtioned earlier, this is likely just a threat, and there's no certainty of an actual war. Nevertheless, I must be prepared."

Leon wholeheartedly agreed with her words and her strategy to remain vigilant.

As the reigning Demon Emperor, Liliana bore greater responsibilities than the three heroes of humanity, as she had to fulfill the dual role of leading the Demon race and managing her duties as an emperor in opposition to the three heroes.

The heroes, on the other hand, were solely conctrated on repelling the Demon Race's invasion and leading the battles that sued.

From this alone, it is evidt how burdsome Liliana's task is.

As a hero, Leon himself was guinely impressed with her ability to handle everything so adeptly.

If he were in Liliana's position, he would likely choose to retire as the Demon Emperor.

Immediately, he regarded Liliana with a better gaze and nodded.

"Alright, th leave the three little girls to me," he said calmly, showing no hesitation.

Ev if Liliana hadn't requested it, he would still watch over and take care of his three little daughters.

Despite having just met Fiona and not yet countered the other two little girls, he was confidt that their attitudes toward him wouldn't differ significantly from Fiona's.

Upon hearing his agreemt, Liliana felt a slight sse of relief, and her cold expression gradually softed.

"Alright, th I'll leave it to you. By the way, if you find yourself bored, feel free to explore the palace. It's just you, me, the three little girls, and some of my confidants here." Liliana paused for a momt, th proceeded to convey all the information she wanted to share with Leon.

Although they were eternal emies, Liliana didn't wish to tormt Leon or curtail his freedom.

After all, he was the father of her triplet daughters, and Liliana recognized that she would desperately need his assistance in caring for the three little girls.

So, the currt relationship was a win-win, requiring them to set aside past restmts as the welfare of their three daughters took precedce.

This objective is also the reason she saved Leon—to provide her three little daughters with a father figure, despite that figure being her eternal emy.

Upon hearing Liliana's concession, Leon's impression of her significantly improved.

"Well, thank you for all your arrangemts," Leon replied sincerely, a gtle smile gracing his face.

He understood that Liliana's atttivess stemmed from him being the father of their three daughters.

Yet, it was precisely because of this that he found it quite touching that the Demon Emperor, rowned for cruelty in every geration, could harbor such profound emotions.

His prejudice towards Liliana began to gradually shift.

"You're welcome," Liliana replied casually, glancing at the clock on the wall, indicating it was time for her to attd to her duties.

"Alright, I'll go handle some matters first. I'll instruct my personal maid to prepare breakfast, and you can approach her later for any necessities you may have." Liliana glanced back at Leon and spoke casually before turning to leave, not waiting for a response from him.

Observing her alluring silhouette, slightly revealed by her simple dress, Leon could only release a small sigh.

"Hey~ This Demon Emperor is surprisingly considerate," he said jokingly, reclining back on the bed with a mind filled with complex thoughts after hearing Liliana's earlier explanation.

"Holy Orthodox, huh? Is Arshley beginning to make a move?" He wondered inwardly, curiosity piqued, and an image of an extraordinarily beautiful, goddess-like woman surfaced in his mind.

A woman who arguably held the most significant place in his life, she was also his childhood frid, whom he deeply cared for.

"Tsk! If she truly takes action, I'm certain the Demon army will be thrown into chaos, and Liliana will undoubtedly have a headache," Leon murmured with a helpless sigh as he slowly stood up.

After all, he was well acquainted with her nature, and upon hearing the news that Velix would likely spread about his demise, it was evidt that a significant war betwe the Demon race and the Holy Orthodox would sue.

He wished to prevt this from happing, as he surmised that Velix must have orchestrated the situation to shift the Holy Orthodox from a passive to an active stance.

Thus, he needed to recover his strgth promptly and thwart Velix and those who framed him from exploiting the circumstances.

Slowly, he settled back onto the bed, attempting to sse the holy power within his body.

After a while, frustration crossed his face as he failed to feel anything, prompting him to op his eyes once more.

"Damn it! I can't sse my holy power at all," Leon cursed in frustration, feeling deeply upset by this revelation.

He also realized that his connection with the holy sword was currtly severed, rdering him no differt from an ordinary person without the holy sword at the momt.

"It seems I have to cure the poison inside my body, and once that's accomplished, I should be able to reconnect with the Zith holy sword." Leon gradually relaxed, contemplating various plans in his mind.

Although he was unaware of the nature of the poison in his body, he knew he had to investigate and research it to find an antidote.

There was no room for surrder in his vocabulary!

As he sank into contemplation, a sudd knock echoed on the door of his room, accompanied by the cold voice of an unfamiliar woman.

*Knock!*

"Your Majesty Leon, I have brought the food that Her Majesty the Demon Emperor ordered for you. May I come in?"
