Chapter 15: New Issues, and The Holy Orthodox Movement



"Hm? Are you awake?" Liliana was slightly surprised to find Leon already awake as she approached him with a slow stride.

"Yes, I just woke up," Leon replied casually.

As he looked at Liliana, the image of last night\'s dream rushed back into his mind, causing a momtary stiffness in his facial expression that quickly transformed into embarrassmt.

Liliana nodded in understanding, oblivious to Leon\'s strangess.

Her atttion swiftly shifted upon seeing Fiona embracing Leon.

"Fiona? Why are you here?" she asked, a hint of surprise in her voice.

Despite having informed her three daughters about Leon, seeing Fiona suddly appear in his room still managed to catch her off guard.

Upon hearing Liliana\'s question, Fiona reluctantly let go of her embrace of Leon\'s body and stepped off the bed, moving toward Liliana with her small feet.

"Hehehe~ Of course I came to see Daddy!" Fiona said it in a spoiled manner, hugging Liliana\'s thighs and wearing a cute expression.

Especially, her chubby, bun-like cheeks pressed tightly against Liliana\'s thighs, creating an irresistibly adorable sight.

Upon witnessing Fiona\'s spoiled display, Liliana couldn\'t help but smile as she lifted her up and held her in a warm embrace.

"Do you miss your daddy that much?" Liliana inquired with a gtle touch, pinching Fiona\'s cheek affectionately.

Her face, which typically bore a cold and indiffert expression, now radiated an unusual tderness that was rarely witnessed.

Ev Leon found himself slightly mesmerized by this unexpected change in her demeanor.

"Yes! I missed a lot~" Her shy gaze fixed on Leon with an affectionate expression that couldn\'t be concealed on her small face.

Liliana, recognizing the sincerity in her words, felt a profound sse of relief.

From this, it was evidt that her youngest daughter, the smallest among the triplets, felt truly at ease with Leon.

As for her other two daughters, it was certain they wouldn\'t be too differt from Fiona.

After all, being triplets meant that the emotions of all three were intertwined.

Liliana affectionately rubbed her little head.

"Alright, Fiona, I understand. By the way, head to the dining room for breakfast first," Liliana said in a gtle tone, surprising Fiona as the words reached her ears.

"Eh!? I don\'t want to have breakfast because I want to stay with Daddy longer." Fiona feigned a sad expression, hoping to elicit sympathy from Liliana.

Unfortunately, Liliana, well-acquainted with her youngest daughter\'s antics, pondered how she could fall for such a setup.

"No, you should have breakfast first. Besides, I need to discuss something privately with your daddy," Liliana asserted, shaking her head with firmness, causing Fiona to abandon any further resistance.

"Alright~" She pursed her lips sadly, and Liliana slowly lowered her from her arms.

With a face as pitiable as an abandoned cat, Fiona glanced back at Leon, saying, "Daddy, I\'ll come see you later, okay?"

For some reason, the atmosphere had tak on a dramatic tone, almost prompting Leon to burst into laughter at the sight of his little daughter\'s demeanor.

However, he understood that this display highlighted how precious he was to Fiona, making it impossible for him to mock her.

"Okay, Fiona. I\'ll wait for you." Leon\'s response caused a bright smile to instantly light up Fiona\'s lips, and she gave a small nod.

"Um! Wait for me, Daddy~" With that, she exited the room, leaving Leon and Liliana alone.

Observing Fiona\'s back, Liliana offered a small smile before turning her gaze back to Leon.

"It looks like Fiona really has a soft spot for you, doesn\'t she?" Liliana asked playfully.

"Yes, she\'s quite clingy. She hasn\'t ev let go of my hug from earlier." Leon chuckled at the memory of Fiona being so spoiled, which brought him immse joy.

"I see..." Liliana murmured softly, a subtle trace of concealed happiness flickering across her face.

Afterward, the two fell into silce, and an awkward atmosphere settled betwe them.

Whether it was Leon reflecting on his previous dream or Liliana herself reminiscing about how she had suppressed the poison in Leon\'s body, both were equally absorbed in their own sse of embarrassmt.

However, ssing the increasingly awkward atmosphere, Leon promptly cleared his throat.

"Cough! Alright, Liliana Crimson, is there something you want to discuss with me?" Leon quickly regained his composure and asked with a casual tone.

In response to his question, Liliana also regained her composure, adopting an indiffert expression as she gave a small nod.

"Yes, there is. But, before that, has your body gott better?" She inquired in her usual cold tone, yet a subtle fluctuation wt unnoticed by Leon.

"It\'s better, and I ev feel fresher and healthier than before." Leon smiled and nodded with thusiasm.

He kely ssed the distinct contrast betwe his currt state and the previous one, expericing a significant boost in vitality.

Inevitably, curiosity gripped him, and he looked at Liliana with excitemt as he inquired, "By the way, wh I fainted earlier, how did you go about suppressing the poison inside my body?"

Upon hearing this, Liliana\'s face instantly stiffed, and the tips of both her ears turned as red as tomatoes.

"I just suppressed it as I did before," she replied, turning her face to the side as if attempting to conceal her embarrassmt.

"Like before?" Leon tilted his head in confusion at her words.

The change was evidtly distinct, and if it was the same method, why did the results differ?

On the other hand, already feeling embarrassed, Liliana quickly interrupted him, putting an d to any further discussion on the matter.

"There\'s no need to ask further, and there\'s something I want to discuss with you," she said with a tone that instantly shifted to a more serious note, taking Leon by surprise.

Though he couldn\'t fathom why Liliana was acting oddly now, he chose not to pry further and simply nodded in acknowledgmt.

"Well, tell me." He replied calmly and looked at Liliana to wait for her to speak.

Liliana closed her eyes for a momt, as if gathering her thoughts.

After a few seconds, she slowly reoped her eyes and spoke with nonchalance.

"I would like to ask for your assistance in temporarily looking after our three little daughters," Liliana stated.

Leon raised his eyebrows, observing her indiffert yet serious expression, piquing his curiosity.

"\'Temporarily look after\'... Does that mean you won\'t be able to accompany them?" His gold eyes calmly regarded Liliana as he asked with care.

Liliana nodded in agreemt and responded, "You\'re correct. I\'ll likely be occupied for the next few days. However, it doesn\'t mean I\'ll neglect them; it just means my time with them will be limited."

A subtle undercurrt of sadness marked her expression, carefully concealed from Leon\'s atttion.

Upon hearing this, Leon ssed that there must be an underlying issue, and he had already speculated what it could be.

"Is humanity\'s army gearing up for battle again?" He deduced it after a thorough analysis.

If there was anything that could suddly make Liliana busy, it was undoubtedly the prospect of going to war with humanity.

Sure ough, after hearing Leon\'s words, Liliana took a deep breath.

"You\'re correct. There are indications of a pottial war, though it might just be a threat from humanity\'s side. I need to be prepared for it," Liliana explained to Leon with folded arms on her chest, showing no hesitation.

Although Leon was the hero of mankind, it was appart that he was in a severely bad and weaked condition.

Therefore, Liliana didn\'t hesitate to mtion it.

Leon nodded in understanding, and there was no surprise on his face.

Giv the history of numerous wars betwe the two races, the prospect of another one was only natural.

Moreover, with his disappearance, it was certain that Velix would launch a war, raising the flag in the name of revge, ev though it was because of him that Leon found himself in this condition.

Leon sighed and gazed at Liliana calmly, asking, "Is it the Holy Empire of Elysium that is beginning to make moves?"

Upon hearing this, Liliana bit her lower lip, her expression instantly turning cold.

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