My Love Debts Are Everywhere!

Leon was momentarily startled, then turned his head to find Athena, who had been asleep, now awake, her gentle gaze fixed on him.

With a lazy movement, Athena wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her face into his six-pack abs, rubbing her cheek there in a spoiled manner.

Leon chuckled softly, gently stroking Athena's head. "Good morning, Athena. Did I wake you?" he asked.

Athena shook her head lightly, leaning in closer to inhale his scent, her face calm and satisfied.

"Don't worry, you didn't wake me. I woke up on my own," she replied casually but warmly.

Leon smiled faintly and nodded in silence. He carefully untangled Athena's long hair, which had gotten a bit messy from their passionate night, smoothing it gently.

Athena could feel the affection in every one of Leon's movements, and a pleased smile spread across her lips.

"This feeling is so comfortable and intoxicating. I wish this moment could last forever," she murmured, her eyes closing.

Being born a woman in the dragon race, particularly within the Hellness family—rulers of the Dragon Empire and leaders of the dragon race—was a heavy burden for Athena.

Dragons are a race that values strength above all else. In the past, her mother, the previous dragon empress, gave birth to over fifty children, Athena among them.

Becoming the heir to the Dragon Empire and leader of the entire dragon race was a formidable challenge. The empress's descendants were forced to engage in a brutal contest, killing one another under the watchful gaze of the dragon race's elite.

Only those who survive the competition are deemed worthy to hold the title of true leader of the dragon race and the Dragon Empire. Athena was the sole survivor of her more than fifty siblings.

With her own hands, she had ended the lives of many of her siblings, a painful truth that often trapped her in unending nightmares. Yet, deep inside, a flicker of hope remained—a hope that one day, someone would pull her from the darkness and help her restore her smile.

Centuries passed in the blink of an eye, but that person never appeared. Eventually, she gave up, realizing that such a figure might never exist in this world.

Then, one day, a handsome young man entered her life, bringing a gentle smile she would never forget.

"Are you the Dragon Empress? You're even more beautiful and captivating than the rumors say." His calm voice, full of warmth, reached deep into her heart.

His charming smile, gentle gaze, and everything about him mesmerized Athena. For the first time, her heart raced uncontrollably, and her breath became shallow.

In her mind, there was only one thought: I want him to be mine...

Thus began her years-long pursuit of the young man—none other than Leon. Though it was difficult and exhausting, as Leon always avoided her, she finally succeeded in claiming him as her own.

As she recalled the passionate scene from last night, a faint smile, tinged with a hint of madness, curled on Athena's lips.

"Finally, you're completely mine, Leon. I'll never let you slip from my grasp or fall into another woman's hands. From now on, I'll be the only one in your eyes—no one else," she murmured, her gaze obsessive beneath her soft exterior.

Meanwhile, Leon, who was gently combing Athena's hair with his fingers, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

"How strange... Why do I feel like something dangerous is lurking?" Leon wondered, his gaze sweeping the surroundings with increasing unease.

Other than him and Athena, there was no sign of anyone suspicious—neither inside the room nor within a two-hundred-meter radius outside.

Leon shook his head, dismissing his suspicions, and turned his gaze toward the window. The sunlight, which had been mild earlier, was now becoming more intense, signaling that noon was fast approaching.

"Alright, Athena," Leon said suddenly, affectionately rubbing her head. "It's getting late, and we're behind schedule. We need to head from Rothinia to the Holy Imperial Capital of Elysium."

He had originally planned to leave around seven or eight in the morning, but after the intense battle last night, they had lost several hours.

"Okay," Athena replied, slowly loosening her embrace around Leon as she sat up. Then, she stretched her sexy, curvaceous body, completely bare, without a stitch of fabric covering her.

Her slender, snake-like waist and full, enticing breasts with their pink peaks made Leon's blood boil. His holy sword, which had been at rest, slowly began to stir, pressing against the blanket covering his lower body.

Surprised by the sudden reaction, Leon instinctively moved to cover it, but Athena quickly stopped him.

"Why hide it?" she teased with a mischievous smile. "Isn't it natural to feel excited in the morning?"

Before Leon could respond, Athena moved closer, pressing her breasts against his chest, her lips brushing his ear.

"There are still a few hours," she whispered softly, her warm breath sending a shiver down his spine. "Why don't we play a little longer before we leave?"

Leon: (⊙ _ ⊙ )

...

In the parlor, Fiona sat with a pout, her eyes fixed sadly on the floor while her legs swayed slowly.

"Stinky Daddy! You haven't sent any letters to Fiona in days. You're such a liar! Hump! Hump! Hump!" She grumbled, snorting in frustration.

Before he left, her daddy had promised to send updates every few days. But now, it had been more than three or four days, and not a single letter had arrived. This left Fiona feeling deeply disappointed and sad.

"Wuuu~ smelly Daddy! I won't miss you anymore!" Fiona whimpered, a few tears pooling at the corners of her round eyes.

She missed her daddy terribly and longed to play with him like they used to. Although her three sisters always accompanied her, playing with him felt so much more special.

"Fiona, why so sad? Is something bothering you?" A soft voice suddenly interrupted her thoughts, causing her crying to stop immediately.

Her eyes widened in surprise, and she turned quickly, her heart skipping a beat when she saw the figure of the man she missed so much.

"Daddy!?" She exclaimed in disbelief, wiping the tears from her round eyes.

"Yes, it's me, Fiona," Leon replied with a warm smile.

He approached Fiona, who was still frozen in place, and wrapped her in his arms lovingly.

As she felt the warmth of his embrace and the comforting scent of him, Fiona was finally convinced—this man was truly the daddy she had missed so much!

"Daddy!" Fiona's tears welled up once more as she clung to Leon's neck, her embrace tight as if she feared losing him again.

"I've missed you so much, Daddy! Wuuu~" She sobbed, her face filled with heart-wrenching sorrow.

Only Fiona understood how difficult and miserable it had been to live without her daddy these past few days—it had felt like torture.

But now, her daddy was back, and she would no longer feel the loneliness she had before.

Amid her tears, a joyful smile began to spread across her face, almost impossible to hide.

"Alright, stop crying now. I'm back, and I won't leave you again," Leon said soothingly, rubbing Fiona's small back affectionately.

"Mm..." Fiona nodded slowly, wiping away the tears from her eyes and chubby cheeks.

She then lifted her gaze slightly to meet Leon's handsome face and couldn't help but giggle.

"Why are you giggling like that? Is there something on my face?" Leon asked, blinking in confusion.

"There's nothing on your face," Fiona replied, shaking her head. "I just missed you so much; it feels like a dream."

Leon paused for a moment, then chuckled softly, gently rubbing Fiona's round, soft face. "Don't worry, it's not a dream."

Fiona smiled sweetly, nuzzling her face affectionately against Leon's palm.

After a while, she loosened her grip slightly and said, "By the way, Daddy, since you're back, I need to tell Sister Charlotte, Sister Iris, and Sister Stella. I'll also tell Mommy! They'll be overjoyed to hear that you're back."

Though her sisters and her mommy never openly expressed their sadness, Fiona knew they missed him deeply. She could already picture how thrilled they would be.

However, Leon, upon hearing her words, suddenly shook his head.

"You don't need to call them, Fiona," Leon said gently. "My return this time is specifically about you. I have something important to discuss."

Fiona looked at him, clearly surprised and confused.

"What do you want to tell me, Daddy?" She inquired hesitantly.

Leon simply smiled, not intending to answer. Suddenly, the sound of footsteps echoed behind him, and an extraordinarily beautiful woman appeared before Fiona.

The woman stood tall, her fiery red hair flowing down to her shapely hips. She wore an elegant red gown that highlighted her majestic and commanding presence while still exuding undeniable grace.

Her cold, indifferent expression could make anyone tremble in fear. However, Fiona didn't feel that way, as she could clearly see the kindness hidden behind the woman's red eyes.

"She... isn't she the Dragon Empress, Athena?" Fiona's eyes widened, her small mouth forming an astonished "O."

Since Athena's arrival at the palace, her sisters had told her all about the woman, showing her pictures and photos so she could recognize her immediately.

Yet, a question lingered in Fiona's mind: Why was Empress Athena here?

Before Fiona could sort through her confusion, Athena had already approached and was standing next to Leon.

"Fiona, you must already know her. This is Athena, the current Dragon Empress, and she will be your new mommy," Leon said softly.

Fiona was silent for a moment, her gaze filled with disbelief.

"New Mommy!?" Fiona exclaimed, her expression frozen in shock.

Leon nodded slowly, then gently set Fiona down from his arms.

Just then, two little girls appeared behind Athena. Both were incredibly cute, with two red horns on their heads and long, chubby red tails trailing behind them.

Fiona was momentarily stunned by their appearance. Before she could gather her thoughts, Leon's smooth, gentle voice reached her ears. Continue your journey on empire

"I'll introduce them to you. These are Flora and Alicia, your two new little sisters."

Fiona: (O_O)!
