My Love Debts Are Everywhere!

Leon swallowed hard, fear flickering across his face as he caught sight of the smile on Athena's lips.

"A-Athena, did you... do this?" He asked, his voice trembling.

Athena gave a slight nod, twisting a strand of her long hair as she replied playfully, "Yes, I did. Surprised?"

Leon's heart pounded, and he instinctively inched back, as if he were staring at a ghost.

"How... how did you do it?" He demanded, gritting his teeth.

It wasn't just his holy power that was blocked—he couldn't tap into the power of chaos within him either, leaving him utterly terrified.

How Liliana could do such a thing was beyond his understanding, deeply puzzling him.

In response to his question, Athena shook her head and leaned closer, her lips grazing his right ear.

"You don't need to worry about that. One thing's certain: your power will only be gone temporarily—it will return soon," Athena whispered, her warm breath grazing his ear.

Startled by her sudden closeness, a chill surged through Leon. When he tried to pull away, his body suddenly froze, leaving him utterly immobile.

"This is—" Before he could finish, Athena pushed him down, her loving gaze gleaming in her red eyes as she lay on top of him.

"Now, let's begin the game, my dear Leon~" she whispered, licking her lips seductively.

...

Outside the parlor, Liliana leaned against one of the large pillars, her indifferent expression betraying the occasional glance toward the room.

Fifteen minutes had passed since she left Leon and Athena alone, yet there was still no sign of them finishing, stirring a sense of unease and discomfort within her.

"Why are they taking so long? And what exactly are they talking about?" Liliana thought, her expression turning sullen and annoyed.

Feeling excluded from their conversation, she couldn't shake the sense that she was being intentionally left out, which only fueled her anger.

Naturally, her frustration was directed at Athena, who had been the one to urge her to leave the parlor.

As she was grumbling in frustration, a sudden surge of magical energy from the direction of the parlor startled her.

Eyes wide with astonishment, she turned her gaze toward the living room and silently wondered, "What's happening? Why is there such a powerful burst of magic?"

From the intensity of the magical surge, she inferred that it was the result of high-level magic.

However, she couldn't understand why there was suddenly such a powerful burst of high-level magic from the parlor, which caused her to frown slightly.

"From the magical surge earlier, I distinctly sensed Athena's mana, but I can't understand why she would be using such high-level magic. Are she and Leon arguing or fighting?" Liliana's eyes narrowed, clearly reflecting her confusion.

Although she wasn't entirely certain of her guess, Liliana felt the need to verify it. If her suspicion proved correct, she would need to intervene to separate them.

Otherwise, their confrontation could destroy the palace, endangering the safety of her three daughters.

Slowly, Liliana approached the parlor door and placed her right palm on it.

"Detection magic," she whispered softly, closing her eyes.

*Whoosh!*

Suddenly, a blood-red light emanated from her palm, spreading across the living room door.

As the light gradually faded, Liliana opened her eyes, her expression one of puzzlement.

"Space barrier magic? What's going on? Why is Athena using it?" Liliana's brows furrowed in confusion.

Space barrier magic was a high-level spell that created an incredibly strong barrier, imprisoning its target. To escape, one would either need to defeat the caster or use a powerful attack to destroy the barrier.

The fact that Athena had used space barrier magic only added to Liliana's bewilderment.

If Leon and Athena were indeed fighting, Athena would have likely used attack magic rather than a space barrier.

Moreover, given Leon's strength as a sword hero, space barrier magic would be ineffective against him.

This led to only one conclusion: they weren't fighting, and something else must have happened in the parlor that she didn't know about.

After a moment of contemplation, Liliana took a deep breath, her expression turning serious.

"There's no choice but to see for myself," Liliana whispered coldly.

She closed her eyes for a moment, then reopened them with a deep red light glowing intensely.

"Demon Eyes: Absolute Sight!"

*Whoosh!*

The crimson light from her eyes pierced through the wall, causing the entire passage to shake violently, as if a small earthquake had occurred.

When the light finally faded, Liliana's beautiful face was etched with disbelief.

"How is this possible? They're not even inside!?"

...

Meanwhile...

"Ummm~" On the bed, Athena, atop Leon, pressed her lips to his in a passionate kiss.

Her tongue pushed into his mouth, exploring and entwining with his as if intent on claiming every part of him.

Leon, subjected to Athena's forceful kiss, tried to push her away, but his efforts proved futile. Unable to mobilize his holy and chaos powers, he could do nothing but resign himself to her dominant movements.

After five minutes, Athena, breathless, finally broke the kiss, a strand of saliva connecting them, adding an undeniably erotic edge to the scene.

"Hah~ Hah~ I never imagined I'd finally get to kiss you, my dear Leon," Athena said, slightly breathless, as she gently stroked his flushed face.

In the past, she had nearly succeeded in claiming Leon as her own, but her carelessness caused her plans to fail, leaving her deeply frustrated.

Since then, she has employed various strategies, including diplomatic channels, to meet him in the Holy Empire of Elsyium. Despite her efforts, Leon consistently refused, only deepening her anger and obsession.

Now, however, she had managed to reclaim control over Leon and make him her own!

Although her methods were undeniably despicable and likely to be condemned by others, she didn't care. As long as Leon was by her side and belonged to her, nothing else mattered.

"Hah~ Hah~ Damn... Athena, you're truly insane! Don't you realize what you're doing?" Leon inquired, his gaze icy as he panted slightly.

As the world's most handsome and powerful sword hero, he never imagined he would face such humiliation, which left him deeply upset.

Athena's method was both cunning and cruel; she had used an unknown substance to seal his holy and chaos powers—an act he deemed both outrageous and unforgivable.

Despite the anger on Leon's face, Athena remained unfazed, her lips curled into a lustful smile.

"Of course I know exactly what I'm doing, Leon," she said with a sultry tone as she nuzzled his neck. "I don't see anything wrong with it. After all, we're destined to be together."

She paused briefly, then traced her lips along his ear before whispering, "Even if you don't love me yet, I will make you fall for me and ensure you can't imagine your life without me."
