Chapter 46: Liliana’s Great Shame and the Black Letter From Heidel
“F***! The outcome of last night’s event couldn’t possibly end up like what happened four years ago, could it!?”
Leon exclaimed in fear, realizing he hadn’t considered this before!
The incident with Liliana four years ago was just a one-night stand, but the consequence was Liliana getting pregnant. Now, these two little girls in his arms were proof of that!
The mere thought of it terrified him, sending his heart racing.
He had previously dismissed Fiona and Charlotte’s fear as trivial, but now he found himself consumed by the same dread: the possibility of fathering another child with Liliana due to the events of last night.
‘Damn it! What will I do if that occurs?’ Leon swallowed hard, regretting that he hadn’t taken the matter more seriously.
Inescapably, he cast a guilty and embarrassed glance at Fiona and Charlotte.
After all, he had just promised them that he and Liliana wouldn’t have any more children because of the incident from last night.
However, he had forgotten that the birth of his three daughters was the result of that one night four years ago.
Sensing her daddy’s peculiar gaze and noticing his suddenly pale face, Charlotte grew worried and gently pressed her small palm against his right cheek.
“Daddy, what’s wrong? Why do you look so pale?” She asked with concern, stroking Leon’s face attentively.
Perhaps it was because blood ties ran deeper than mere affection; she could feel Leon’s anxiety.
Upon hearing Charlotte’s words, Fiona also turned her gaze to Leon, her expression filled with concern. She cherished her daddy deeply and dreaded anything happening to him.
Leon released a small sigh of concern and managed to manage a reassuring smile.
“It’s alright,” Leon reassured them in a light and casual tone. “I just had a fleeting thought that made me a bit uneasy, but there’s no need for you to worry about it.” He had no intention of disclosing his true concerns.
Children’s hearts, especially those of girls, were exceptionally sensitive, and he couldn’t predict how they would react if he admitted he was just as frightened as they were by last night’s incident.
Moreover, both of them had only just settled down after being reassured about the fear of having a new sibling. Wouldn’t revealing the truth be akin to awakening a sleeping tiger?
Charlotte and Fiona sighed simultaneously, exchanging glances filled with happiness.
The two nodded simultaneously, as if sharing an unspoken understanding, before finally joining their hands to embrace Leon’s face together.
“Daddy, we both love you, so don’t leave us, okay?” They said it in unison, their affection palpable enough to freeze Leon’s facial expression.
He hadn’t anticipated such a critical attack from his two little girls like this!
Furthermore, as he felt the tenderness and warmth of their embrace, his heart couldn’t help but melt.
Subconsciously, a lopsided smile appeared at the corner of his lips as he gently hugged the two little girls back.
“Alright, alright. You both mean everything to me, and I love you both very much too,” Leon said firmly and wholeheartedly.
With his mind now clear, the nervousness within him is slowly dissipating.
He understood that remaining silent was not an option; he needed to meet with Liliana as soon as possible to address the issue.
He dreaded the situation escalating, realizing that if Liliana became pregnant again, it would deeply sadden his two daughters and possibly lead them to resent him, which was the last thing he didn’t desire.
“Hey~ Being a father is really something, though it’s quite exhausting.”
…
Meanwhile, in a luxurious and spacious bedroom, Liliana, who had left Leon’s room earlier, lay on the center bed with a dazed expression on her cold and indifferent face.
Her mind was consumed with thoughts of what had happened with Leon last night, leaving her feeling deeply embarrassed.
“What the hell did I do last night!? How could I make such an expression?” Liliana exclaimed in embarrassment, covering her face, which was flushed like an apple.
Though she had lost consciousness and control over her body at the time, upon regaining consciousness, her memory became clear, and the events of that time replayed vividly in her head.
The scene where she forcibly kissed Leon, calling him husband and herself wife, along with various other embarrassing moments, slowly replayed in her mind, causing Liliana to feel an overwhelming sense of shame.
“How could I, the Mighty Demon Emperor, stoop to such shameful behavior!? Where will I ever show my face again?” Liliana abruptly sat up, her face flushed with embarrassment and her breaths coming in rapid gasps, causing her huge breasts to sway noticeably.
Certainly, she understood that her actions were not intentional but rather the result of her demon mark and the effects of the secret magic she had employed.
However, regardless of the reasons, she was the one who initiated and engaged in those actions with Leon last night.
“I didn’t anticipate that the side effects of this secret magic would be so daunting, but there’s no point in regretting it,” Liliana admitted helplessly, her embarrassed expression gradually fading to reveal her usual indifference.
After all, the deed was done, and there was no need to dwell on it too much.
“By the way, it seems the Demon Mark has calmed down again, and I sense the sealing will last longer than before,” Liliana remarked, touching her right breast and sensing the subdued state of the Demon Mark.
She surmised that the Demon Mark would likely remain inactive for the next five days, after which she would inevitably have to repeat the process with Leon.
Thinking of Leon, Liliana couldn’t shake off the lingering sensation of his touch in various places, like her breasts, stomach, and buttocks, causing her body to tremble slightly.
“Leon… you are such a bastard! A pervert!” Liliana grumbled inwardly, her face flushing red again at the thought.
She realized that after this, her relationship with Leon could never be the same as before.
Even if she wished to pretend that nothing had happened, Liliana knew she couldn’t conceal the existence of the Demon Mark from Leon any longer.
Furthermore, she also relied on Leon to suppress the Demon Mark on their bodies together.
“It seems there needs to be a change of plan…” Liliana muttered to herself, taking a small breath.
Just as she was sinking into contemplation, a sudden caw from outside her bedroom window startled Liliana.
*Koak! Koak!*
The sound jolted her out of her reverie, and she glanced up to see a crow flying outside.
“This is… the messenger crow?” Liliana raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised.
The messenger crow served as a means of long-distance communication for the Demon Race, utilizing crows as messengers.
Intrigued, Liliana rose to her feet and approached the crow, enveloping it in a gentle hug.
“Is there any important news?” Liliana asked softly as she stroked the crow’s feathers.
*Koak! Koak!*
The crow cawed, and suddenly, above its head, a magic circle materialized, revealing a black letter.
Liliana swiftly picked up the letter and glanced at the name of the sender.
“This letter is from… Heidel?” Liliana furrowed her brows as she read the sender’s name.
Heidel was her right-hand man, entrusted with delivering crucial news or information.
However, given that she had tasked Heidel with preparing a substantial army and assuming the role of the main general to confront the impending large-scale assault by the Elysium Holy Empire’s army, it was natural that the current Heidel couldn’t be present by her side as before to deliver crucial updates.
“Heidel sent this message… Could there be something significant happening?” Liliana pursed her lips, pondering the contents of the letter.
Given the news that the Elysium Holy Empire’s army planned to deploy 500,000 troops, led by two human heroes, she felt a sense of caution and heightened her vigilance.
Without further delay, Liliana opened the letter and read its contents carefully.
After a minute of reading, Liliana’s previously indifferent expression transformed into one of great shock.
“What!? The Empire of Holy Elysium… are they truly so audacious!?”
