My Love Debts Are Everywhere!

The street was still bustling with people as Leon and Athena walked side by side toward the Starlit Heaven inn.

Athena looped her arm through Leon's, resting her cheek against him in a spoiled, lazy manner.

"What do you think of Elina's fortune-telling, Leon?" Athena suddenly inquired, catching Leon off guard.

He understood the intent behind her words and chuckled softly.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Don't worry. Like I said before, fortune-telling isn't a true measure of our future," Leon replied casually. "The future is in our hands; we decide what happens. So, relax."

Though he spoke confidently, the results of his own fortune-telling still puzzled him.

"God-like powers, or surpassing them, huh?" Leon muttered to himself, taking a deep breath.

His curiosity about the middle-aged man, Nolan, grew. Not only was he suspicious of him, but Nolan also seemed to have a hidden agenda in approaching him.

If they ever crossed paths again, Leon would definitely ask about his true intentions.

Meanwhile, Athena, hearing Leon's words, let out a small sigh and nodded slightly.

"You're right, Leon. The future is in our hands, not determined by fortune-telling," Athena said, her expression slowly returning to its usual indifferent state.

Afterward, the two continued walking, eventually vanishing into the crowd.

...

In the night sky, the moons of Miranda and Sylvia grew brighter, surrounded by stars that formed a shimmering circle around them.

The crowd in the heart of the city gradually thinned, though it wasn't completely quiet. Some people continued with their activities—selling goods or strolling leisurely beneath the refreshing night breeze.

On the highest floor of the Starlit Heaven inn, Leon stood before an open window, gazing at the beauty of the night sky with a serene expression.

The cool breeze brushed his face, causing his slightly long black hair to sway gently, enhancing his handsomeness even further.

"Tsk! Tsk! The view from here is incredible," Leon remarked, a faint smile curling on his lips. "No wonder this room costs a hundred gold coins per night."

A hundred gold coins was an enormous amount—far beyond what any ordinary person could hope to save in a lifetime. Even if they managed to gather that much, it would mean sacrificing basic needs for over ten years—an impossible feat.

But for him, a hundred gold coins were insignificant—practically nothing. Each time he completed a mission for the palace, defending against waves of Demon army attacks, he earned over ten thousand gold coins, along with other invaluable rewards.

Despite his hatred for Velix, Leon had to admit that the emperor was generous and never stingy with his subordinates or heroes like him.

"Leon, I'm done bathing. It's your turn now."

Just as Leon was lost in the beauty of the view outside, Athena's delicate, soft, and alluring voice reached his ears from behind.

Instinctively, Leon turned his head, his face freezing when he saw Athena standing there.

She wore a thin, seductive red nightgown, the curves of her shapely body clearly outlined.

Her full, huge breasts were accentuated, and with the top button slightly undone, Leon could glimpse the deep cleavage beneath.

Her usually indifferent and arrogant expression was replaced by a different kind of charm, as a few damp strands of red hair clung to her cheeks.

Leon's throat felt dry, and his body reacted instinctively. Thankfully, he managed to compose himself and pretended to cough to cover the strange reaction.

"Ahem! Alright, I'll take a shower soon," Leon said calmly.

He then walked past Athena, heading toward the bathroom at the far end of the bedroom.

As Leon's broad back disappeared from her view, Athena's casual and composed expression slowly shifted, replaced by a mysterious smile that tugged at the corners of her lips.

"Tonight will be a special night without sleep," she murmured, a playful glint gleaming in her red eyes.

After thirty minutes in the bathroom, Leon emerged with a refreshed expression and a satisfied smile.

"Yep, a shower is definitely the best way to clear the mind," Leon murmured with a soft chuckle.

He rubbed his still-damp hair with a towel, and a few drops of water slid down his muscular chest, creating an enticing sight for any woman who saw him.

On the bed, Athena, brushing her hair, couldn't tear her eyes away from Leon's muscular body, barely concealed by his pajamas.

Though fully covered by his pajamas, the outline of his muscles remained distinct, accentuated by water droplets from his damp hair seeping through the fabric.

Athena's red eyes burned with desire, her heart racing. Had it not been for her remaining composure, she might have lunged at Leon right then and there.

Sensing her intense, lustful gaze, Leon's body froze instantly, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Experience tales at empire

"In novels or real life, it's usually the woman who has to worry about being alone with a man. But why does it feel like the roles are reversed here?" Leon inquired, his tone a mix of helplessness and amusement.

Shaking off his thoughts, Leon casually walked to the bed and sat on its edge.

"It's late, and we're leaving early tomorrow. Let's get some rest," Leon said casually.

The meaning behind his words was clear: Don't do anything strange—just sleep!

Athena understood the implication and nodded slightly, though her gaze never left the enticing curve of Leon's exposed neck.

"Of course, let's go to bed," Athena replied, her tone laced with meaning, catching Leon off guard.

He turned to see Athena lying down, pulling the blanket over herself.

Her unexpected obedience left Leon feeling uneasy, his confusion clear in his eyes.

Earlier, he had expected Athena to resist his request and possibly attack him, but instead, she agreed so easily, leaving him feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"Am I overthinking this?" The thought crossed his mind, but before he could dwell on it, he quickly dismissed it.

"No! Athena is too clever. There must be something behind this!" Leon's expression shifted to one of caution as he eyed Athena, who lay with her eyes closed.

Taking a deep breath to steady himself, Leon set aside his doubts and lay down beside her. However, he didn't fall asleep right away; instead, he remained alert, waiting to see her next move.

One minute, three minutes, five minutes—then ten minutes passed in silence, and Leon detected no movement from Athena. Instead, the soft rhythm of her breathing made it clear that she had fallen into a deep sleep.

A sense of relief and calm washed over him, and he couldn't help but smile.

"Good thing this woman didn't do anything strange. Now I can get a good night's sleep," Leon whispered with a soft sigh.

Without wasting another moment, he closed his heavy eyelids and fell into a deep sleep.

What he didn't realize, however, was that not long after he drifted off, Athena's eyes, once closed, slowly opened, unleashing dangerous sparks of lightning that flickered from them.

"Ahn~ Leon~ Leon~"

In the depths of his sleep, Leon heard an enchanting voice calling his name, causing his brows to furrow slightly. However, he chose to ignore it and fell back into his deep slumber.

"Ahn~ My dear Leon~"

The voice persisted, disturbing his sleep, forcing him to reluctantly open his eyes.

"Damn... Who's calling me in the middle of the night?" Leon muttered irritably.

His sleep was a precious escape for his weary mind, but now it was being interrupted by strange voices, filling him with anger and frustration.

As he tried to move, Leon realized his body felt heavy, as if something powerful was pinning him down.

Surprised, he glanced down and saw what appeared to be a rope—but no, it was a thick, red tail wrapped around his waist.

"A tail?" Leon blinked, stunned, his mind racing to process the bizarre sight.

Before he could recover, a cold sensation brushed his neck and ears, followed by a soft, seductive voice whispering in his ear.

"My dear Leon, are you awake? I'm sorry, but I can no longer contain my desire."

At the sound of the voice, Leon's heart skipped a beat. He tried to force his body to move, rolling to his left and turning his head to find a beautiful woman gazing at him with lustful eyes.

"Athena!? You..." Leon's eyes widened, about to speak, but his words were silenced by Athena's soft lips.

"Mmm..." Athena kissed him passionately, pushing her tongue into his mouth.

Caught off guard, Leon couldn't react in time and was left helpless, forced to endure the kiss.

After a moment, Athena broke the kiss, gasping for air.

"Hah~ Hah~," she panted, a tempting blush spreading across her flawless face.

The stark contrast between her usual cold, indifferent demeanor and this vulnerable, alluring appearance was enough to drive any man wild.

Without giving Leon a chance to react, Athena cupped his face with both hands and kissed the tip of his nose.

But she didn't stop there—she kissed his cheeks, forehead, and every inch of his face, as though marking him as her own.

Then, she leaned in close to his ear and whispered softly, "After that night, I woke up to find you gone from the bed. Do you know how furious I was? I've been holding this grudge ever since. Tonight, I'll make you pay for it."

With that, she lowered her face, trailing her tongue down his neck and to his collarbone with intense passion.

Meanwhile, Leon, feeling the wetness on his neck, couldn't contain his rising anger.

As the most handsome and powerful Sword Hero, he had been abused and deceived by Athena countless times—like that moment in the parlor. It would be a lie to say he didn't hold a grudge against her.

"If she dominates me again tonight, my name won't be Leon—it'll be coward!" Leon vowed silently.

He swiftly seized the moment when Athena let her guard down, pressing his lips to her pale neck. The touch made Athena's body shudder, and a long, soul-stirring moan escaped her soft, beautiful lips.

Feeling the grip of Athena's tail loosen, Leon quickly broke free from its hold.

Athena was taken by surprise at Leon's sudden move, but before she could react, Leon twisted his body and pinned her beneath him.

Under her stunned gaze, Leon chuckled, lifting her chin with two fingers, his demeanor radiating dominance.

"Before, you managed to overpower me because I let my guard down. But now..." Leon paused, opened his pajamas, revealing a sculpted body reminiscent of the Greek gods. With a triumphant grin, he leaned in close to Athena's ear and whispered softly, "I'm going to make you pay for everything you've done. Get ready for your punishment, my dear Athena."
