Chapter 252: Liliana's Decisiveness and Courage

Morning...Leon, sleeping soundly on the bed, suddenly felt something cold touch his chest, causing his eyebrows to furrow slightly.

"Fiona, I'm still tired. Don't bother me," Leon muttered in a low tone, shifting slightly to the side.

But the cold sensation persisted, returning to his chest and stomach, abruptly waking him from his sleep.

"Ugh... Fiona, didn't I tell you not to bother me?" Leon complained faintly as he forced his heavy eyelids open.

Every morning, Fiona had a habit of waking him up in strange ways—lying on his body, pressing her tummy against his face, and other odd antics.

So he was sure that the cold sensation in his stomach and chest was Fiona's doing once again.

With a lazy sigh, Leon stretched out his hands to move the little girl off his stomach but was instantly shocked to realize that the cold sensation on his chest and stomach wasn't caused by Fiona—it was a hand!

"A hand?" Leon gasped, his consciousness fully returning.

He turned his head toward the hand and found Liliana sleeping beside him.

Subconsciously, the memory of their intense, passionate activity from last night flooded his mind, prompting him to tap his forehead with a small chuckle.

"I forgot I wasn't in my room, but in Liliana's," he muttered.

After he and Liliana discussed Athena's arrival and the war in the Desert of Chaos last night, she invited him to read the Book of Life and study the origins of the universe together, an offer he eagerly accepted.

However, since they hadn't done this in a long time, they became overly enthusiastic, which led to a very intense night.

"Well, last night was intense, but in the end, I managed to turn the tables on Liliana," Leon whispered, a proud smile spreading across his lips.

Previously, Liliana had always overpowered him, taking advantage of his weakness from the devouring poison, leaving him to wake up each morning with pain in his waist and back.

But now, with his strength fully restored to its peak, Liliana couldn't do that anymore, which filled him with deep satisfaction and pride.

Waking from his thoughts, Leon turned his gaze to Liliana, who was sleeping beside him. A soft smile formed on his lips as he gently extended his hand to stroke her beautiful, flawless face.

"I didn't expect Liliana to be so enthusiastic last night," Leon murmured with a small sigh, adding, "But I know she's been under a lot of stress, especially with her workload increasing because of the war."

As the Demon Emperor, Liliana carried immense responsibilities, often pushing herself to the limit.

Especially since the war in the Desert of Chaos began, Liliana's free time with their three daughters—and with him—has significantly decreased.

So, he was determined to help ease her burden, just as he had with the teleportation gate issue yesterday.

"Emmm~"

As he was lost in thought, Liliana, still asleep, let out a soft groan and began to slowly open her eyes, startling him.

"Sorry, did I wake you?" Leon asked in a gentle tone, carefully withdrawing his hand.

However, Liliana quickly grasped his hand and pressed his palm against her left cheek.

"No, you didn't wake me," Liliana replied lazily, closing her eyes and rubbing her cheek against Leon's palm.

Seeing her affectionate gesture, Leon smiled softly and kissed her forehead.

They enjoyed a few warm moments together before finally sitting up.

"Ummm~" With a lazy expression on her typically indifferent face, Liliana stretched her body, which was bare of any fabric, causing her huge breasts to sway with the motion.

The sight was so alluring that Leon felt his heart rate quicken and his younger brother stir.

"Ahem! Liliana, could you avoid striking poses like that?" Leon inquired, clearing his throat to mask his embarrassment.

Despite their passionate activities throughout the night, Liliana's provocative pose reignited feelings he thought were already spent.

Hearing his words, Liliana, still stretching, looked surprised, but a seductive smile soon spread across her lips.

"Leon, I didn't realize you were so easily aroused," she teased with a playful giggle.

Her words made the corner of Leon's mouth twitch slightly. Although he wanted to deny it, he couldn't find a suitable response because Liliana's observation was accurate.

Confronted with such an incredibly beautiful woman with a curvaceous body like Liliana's, he was certain no man could resist such allure—even a gay man might be swayed.

Shaking his head, Leon composed himself and replied softly, "I may be a pervert, but that's only because you're irresistibly charming, Liliana."

Leon's blunt comment caused Liliana's seductive smile to falter, her face turning a deep red and making her look even more endearing.

"Huh! You're so articulate," Liliana snorted coldly, turning her face away as if to hide her embarrassment.

Leon simply smiled at her reaction but had no intention of teasing her further.

Shifting his gaze around the room with curiosity, Leon realized it was the same place where he had first woken up in the palace.

This revelation surprised him, but he quickly regained his composure.

"By the way, Liliana, I have a question for you, and I hope you won't be upset by it," Leon said abruptly, catching Liliana off guard.

Liliana quickly regained her composure, wrapping herself in the blanket, and replied, "Don't worry. I won't be upset by anything you ask."

Leon was silent for a moment before taking a deep breath and asking, "Do you and Aragon have any deep animosities?"

Liliana's calm expression faltered slightly, her red eyes betraying her surprise.

"Aragon? How do you know about him?" Liliana inquired, her brows slightly furrowing.

Aragon was an archdemon residing in the outer palace, and she was certain that Leon couldn't have known or met him.

Furthermore, her enmity with Aragon was a closely guarded secret, known only to a few high-ranking demons.

Yet, how could Leon possibly know about it?

Subconsciously, the image of Lyra flashed through her mind, causing her eyebrows to raise slightly.

"Did Lyra tell you?" Liliana inquired, her eyes narrowing slightly.

Aside from Lyra, she couldn't think of anyone else who might have informed Leon about Aragon or their enmity.

Leon offered a slight smile and nodded. "Yes, Lyra told me."

Afterward, he detailed all the information he had received from Lyra, while Liliana listened with a composed expression.

Once he finished, Leon let out a small sigh and said, "I hope you won't scold or punish Lyra for sharing this with me."

He shared this information with Liliana purely as a precaution. Aragon posed a hidden threat to the safety of their three daughters, and he was determined to address any potential danger.

Meanwhile, Liliana, having listened to his explanation, maintained her calm expression and regarded Leon with an indifferent gaze.

"Are you concerned that Aragon might threaten the safety of our three daughters?" Liliana asked indifferently.

Leon was taken aback, not expecting Liliana to have sensed his concerns.

Nodding slightly, he replied, "Yes, I'm worried that he might pose a threat to their safety."

Liliana paused for a moment, then sighed softly and said, "You don't need to worry about that. Aragon won't be able to do anything."

Leon raised an eyebrow in confusion and was about to ask, but Liliana interrupted him.

"If he tries, I'll crush him to ashes," she said firmly.
