My Love Debts Are Everywhere!

In the parlor, Leon sat casually on the sofa, with Luna and Athena seated beside him. Across from him, Albert sat quietly, sipping his tea.

"When did you receive this letter, Albert?" Leon asked curiously while observing the beautiful white letter in his hand.

Stay tuned with empire

Albert gently set his teacup on the saucer and met Leon's gaze. "I received it while you were training with the soldiers, Sword Hero Leon."

Leon gave a slight nod before unfolding the letter to read its contents.

Beside him, Luna and Athena tried to contain their curiosity. Luna, in particular, felt an almost irresistible urge to know what Arshley had written. Yet, both remained composed, sipping their tea with elegant restraint.

After a moment, Leon smiled broadly and closed the letter, unable to hide his excitement.

Noticing his reaction, Luna raised an eyebrow, her curiosity deepening.

"What does the letter say, Leon?" she asked, her tone cautious.

Leon chuckled softly before responding, "It's a statement from Edward and Arshley. They've approved my plan to unite the Holy Empire of Elysium and the Holy Orthodox. They're ready to send their support to help carry it out."

Upon hearing that, Luna and Albert exchanged a glance before letting out a collective sigh of relief.

With Arshley and the Holy Orthodox side's approval, their plan was now fully set in motion. The only remaining hurdle was to overthrow Velix's rule, and everything would fall into place.

On Leon's left, Athena remained silent, seeming indifferent to their conversation.

For her, the overthrow of Velix or the unification of the Holy Empire of Elysium and the Holy Orthodox were matters of humanity—far removed from her interests.

But suddenly, a thought crossed her mind, and a charming smile slowly curved her lips.

"By the way, Leon," Athena said softly, wrapping both arms around his and resting her cheek against his shoulder. "Once the Holy Empire of Elysium and the Holy Orthodox are unified, I would like to propose a partnership between the Dragon Empire and the new power that will lead humanity. What are your thoughts?"

Hearing this, both Albert and Luna were taken aback, exchanging astonished looks.

The relationship between the dragon race and humanity had always been neutral—neither good nor bad. The two races had maintained a treaty for thousands of years, agreeing not to interfere with each other.

But now, Athena boldly declared her intention to establish cooperation between the two races, something no one had ever expected.

"Who exactly is this woman, and what is her background? How can she so confidently propose such a thing?" Luna wondered, her curiosity piqued.

She still didn't fully understand Athena's identity, as Leon hadn't shared it with her. Additionally, her knowledge of the dragon race was limited, as they were more secretive than either humans or demons.

Luna's instincts told her that Athena's proposal hinted at a remarkable status within the dragon race.

Unlike Luna, Albert, who was already aware of Athena's true identity thanks to Leon, felt both surprised and excited by the prospect.

A partnership between the Dragon Empire and humanity would be immensely beneficial. The dragon race possessed many unique advantages and was more advanced in certain areas than humanity.

Leon, intrigued by Athena's idea, couldn't help but smile.

"Why are you suddenly making such a proposal? Do you have a plan behind it?" Leon asked gently.

Given Athena's nature, Leon knew well that there must be hidden motives or plans behind her actions and words.

Athena chuckled softly, giving a small nod, before inhaling the intoxicating scent of Leon's masculine presence.

Noticing her provocative actions, Luna gritted her teeth, consumed by jealousy and anger. Yet, she chose to remain silent, swallowing her emotions without a word.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Unfazed by Luna's fiery glare, Athena calmly responded, "This proposal is entirely for your benefit and the future of this world, Leon. As we both know, the Evil God will soon reappear, bringing chaos as it did seven thousand years ago. For this reason, we must prepare in advance, and one crucial step is to strengthen the relationship and cooperation between humanity and the dragon race."

Listening to Athena's explanation, Leon narrowed his eyes. The reasoning behind her proposal intrigued him. It wasn't that he hadn't considered it before, but his primary focus had been uniting the human and demon races first, slowly easing the hatred between them.

Only then would he turn his attention to strengthening the cooperation between humanity and the dragon race.

However, since Athena had made the proposal, Leon had no objections—and, in fact, he felt pleased. This way, he wouldn't have to worry about the cooperation between the dragon race and humanity himself.

"Alright, we'll handle that later," Leon agreed without hesitation.

Athena, having anticipated this response, simply smiled and nodded slowly.

Meanwhile, Luna and Albert, who overheard their conversation, were left confused and astonished. They had no idea what they were discussing.

"Leon, what exactly are you talking about? Evil God? The destruction of the world? What does that mean?" Luna inquired hesitantly, gently shaking Leon's right arm.

Although Albert remained silent, the curiosity in his eyes was just as evident as Luna's.

Leon turned to Albert, then to Luna, before pausing in thought. It dawned on him that he had never shared anything about the Evil God or his identity as the Fated One with either of them.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Leon decided to speak up. There was nothing to hide, and these two had supported him thus far.

"Albert, Luna, there's something I need to explain," Leon said, his expression turning serious. "Actually..."

He then began explaining the truth about the Evil God and his identity as the Fated One to them. Since the explanation was lengthy, he tried to summarize it while ensuring the key details were clear.

Luna and Albert listened intently to every word that left Leon's lips. However, the longer they listened, the more their expressions shifted.

By the time Leon finished, the shock was still evident on their faces.

"This..." Luna opened her mouth, as if to say something, but no words came out.

What Leon had shared had completely shattered her understanding of the history of heroes, the Demon Emperor, and the world itself, leaving her speechless for a while.

Like Luna, Albert felt his faith in the world's history crumble upon hearing Leon's explanation. He never could have imagined that everything they had learned and believed up until now was a lie, with the true history concealed and erased.

If not for Leon, he would have remained ignorant of the truth.

Leon wasn't surprised by their reaction. After all, he had felt the same way when he first learned the truth.

With a calm and gentle expression, Leon said, "Earlier, you may have wondered why I wanted to overthrow Velix's rule and thought it was driven by a desire for revenge. That's part of it, but the true reason goes beyond that. The main purpose behind my plans and intentions is to prepare for the Evil God's return."

"If an evil god appears in the future while humanity remains divided between the Holy Orthodox and the Holy Empire of Elysium, we'll all be in danger. Velix and I have our grievances, and it's possible that he might betray us, aligning himself with the Evil God's forces."

Leon's words snapped Luna and Albert out of their shock. His explanation made perfect sense to them.

If Velix were to join forces with an entity as powerful as the Evil God, they could hardly imagine the chaos that would follow. At the same time, Albert's sense of guilt, which had been weighing on him, gradually faded away.

Though he had allied with Leon to overthrow Velix's rule for the sake of his daughter's safety and under the pretense of punishing Velix for his past wrongs against Leon, it would be a lie to say he hadn't felt even the slightest pang of guilt.

However, those feelings of guilt had now vanished, replaced by an even stronger resolve. Only by removing Velix could they prevent the chaos threatening humanity's future.

Seeing their expressions, Leon couldn't help but smile, nodding in satisfaction.

Just as he was about to speak again, the sound of hurried footsteps approached from the direction of the parlor door.

A soldier soon appeared, his face a mix of excitement and panic. He stopped three meters away, bowing respectfully.

"Apologies for interrupting, Supreme Leader Albert and the Heroes," he said respectfully, then continued eagerly, "We've just received news from our spies. Our forces stationed in various cities have successfully taken control of all of them."

At this report, Leon, Luna, Albert, and Athena were momentarily taken aback.

"Is this true?" Albert inquired excitedly, rising slowly from his seat.

"It is, Supreme Leader. The news has been confirmed," the soldier replied firmly.

Albert couldn't hide his smile, nodding repeatedly in satisfaction.

"Very well, you may leave," he said casually.

Without another word, the soldier bowed respectfully once more before quickly leaving the parlor.

Albert turned to Leon, still smiling.

"Sword Hero Leon, all those cities are now under our control. Without any reinforcements coming from the surrounding areas, we'll be in a strong position when we overthrow Velix's rule," Albert said enthusiastically. "So, when do we strike?"

"Now," Leon replied firmly.

With the plan already in place, there was no reason to wait any longer.

Luna and Albert immediately adopted serious expressions, nodding in agreement.

"But before that, evacuate the people in the capital. I sense there will be a major battle when we take down Velix," Leon ordered, narrowing his eyes.

"As you command," Albert responded respectfully.

Leon gave a small nod, preparing to leave, but then a voice suddenly called out from behind them.

"Wait for me! I want to come!"
