YM778.TV Chapter 31: Leon's Plan That Failed Before Its Time
Wouldn\'t it have be more appropriate to exert a bit of force?
Or is it simply because he is as weak as a chick that she can wield her power over him so easily!?
Leon harbored a strong desire to punish this woman, yet confronted with his currt state of powerlessness and the realization that he was no match for Liliana, he could only bury his frustration deep within himself.
With restrained dissatisfaction in his expression, Leon shifted his gaze towards Liliana beside him and asked, "Is there anything else you wish to discuss?"
He had assumed that the withdrawal of troops from Holy Orthodoxy was the primary topic Liliana wished to discuss, but it appeared that wasn\'t the case.
Was there anything else weighing on Liliana, the Demon Emperor, more heavily than the issue concerning the Holy Orthodox?
As Leon pondered deeply, his mind gradually settled, and he patitly awaited Liliana\'s words.
On the other side, Liliana did not immediately respond to Leon\'s question, her typically cold expression now tinged with a subtle hint of distress, a rarity for her.
"Leon Kruger, I want to ask you something. Are you acquainted with the dragon race?" Liliana\'s sudd question caught Leon a little off guard.
He hadn\'t anticipated Liliana would broach this topic, exceeding his expectations.
"Of course, I\'m acquainted with the dragon race," Leon answered with casual nonchalance, giving a slight nod of his head.
In this vast world, numerous races coexist alongside humans and demons.
Among them, rowned for their immse power, is the dragon race, considered one of the preemint races in this world.
With its magical prowess, physical strgth, mastery of seal magic, and various other advantages, it could be argued that the dragon race was superior, far surpassing both the human and demon races.
Hce, he was well-acquainted with the dragon race, having ev visited the dragon empire three years ago as a diplomat represting the Holy Empire of Elysium.
Naturally, he was selected for his exceptional strgth and suitability for the task.
Recalling his visit to the Dragon Empire Palace three years ago, an extraordinarily beautiful and charming figure resurfaced in his mind, instantly sding chills down his spine.
\'Damn! Meeting that woman felt like stepping into a nightmare! I hope I never cross paths with her again...\' Leon cursed siltly, dismissing his unsettling thoughts.
Quickly, he snapped back to reality, feeling uneasy as Liliana inexplicably broached the topic of the dragon race.
"Liliana Crimson, why are you suddly inquiring about the dragon race? Is there a conflict with them?" Leon asked hesitantly, a slight frown adorning his handsome face.
If the Demon race were to ter into conflict with the Dragon race, it could pottially deal a devastating blow, leading to fatal damage for the Demon race.
After all, in the conflict betwe the two, wouldn\'t it be the human race, led by the Holy Empire of Elysium, that ultimately reaps the befits, like the fisherm casting their nets?
Furthermore, the existce he was desperately concealing while gradually regaining strgth might soon be exposed to Velix and his accomplices!
Additionally, with three little daughters to protect, he couldn\'t afford to let any harm befall them at the hands of his adversaries!
As Leon conjured up various alarming scarios in his mind, Liliana beside him rolled her crimson eyes lazily at his question.
"Do you think I\'m foolish ough to provoke the dragon race?" Her words immediately elicited a sigh of relief from Leon.
"Th why the sudd inquiry about the dragon race?" Leon asked, his curiosity piqued.
Liliana took a deep breath before finally beginning her explanation.
"Just this morning, I received an official letter from the Dragon Empire stating that their Empress, Atha Hellness, will be visiting me in one month."
*Boom!*
Leon\'s eyes wided in horror, feeling as though an atomic bomb had just be dropped on his head.
"W-What are you saying? Who\'s coming?" Leon stammered, a cold sweat breaking out on his back.
Observing Leon\'s abrupt shift in expression, Liliana felt a sse of unease, unable to comprehd the reason for his change.
"The Empress of the Dragon Empire, Atha Hellness," Liliana stated, her voice carrying a slight elevation in tone.
Leon\'s complexion paled instantly upon hearing this, and he felt as though he might faint th and there.
\'Curse it all! What terrible luck! Is my fortune truly as wretched as a dog\'s?\' Leon wanted to cry out but found himself unable to.
If there was one figure that struck fear into his heart, it was undoubtedly Atha Hellness, the Empress of the Dragon Empire!
Three years ago, wh he still held the title of hero, he acted as the represtative of the Holy Empire of Elysium and the Human Race during his visit to the Dragon Empire.
His mission was to convey Velix\'s message to the dragon empress, urging her not to interfere in the conflict betwe the human race and the demon race.
Naturally, he eagerly accepted the mission and felt quite excited about it.
After all, as a transmigrant from the modern world, the opportunity to see a dragon was something he had long dreamed of!
Unfortunately, it marked the onset of his nightmare, as he found himself almost raped by the Dragon Empress of the Dragon Empire, Atha Hellness, in the Imperial Palace of the Dragon Race!
Atha cited love at first sight as her reason for the abrupt attack, expressing her desire to marry him and keep him bound to her bed forever!
\'Damn, that woman! Thinks she can do as she pleases just because she\'s powerful?\' Leon\'s skin crawled as he remembered the incidt.
Thankfully, having already attained the status of a hero and undergone the sacred baptism of Zith\'s holy sword, he could partially contd with the formidable might of the unpredictable dragon empress.
Yet, ev with the formidable power bestowed upon him by the Holy Sword of Zith, he couldn\'t hope to rival the immse strgth of Atha, the mightiest dragon in the world, which ultimately led him to choose escape.
This incidt was also what led him to ultimately decide to wear a half-face mask from th on!
Meanwhile, observing Leon\'s troubled silce and his visibly uneasy expression, Liliana couldn\'t help but feel somewhat concerned.
"Leon Kruger, why is your face so pale? Are you alright?" Liliana asked with appart nonchalance, though her concern was evidt beath the surface.
Her concern stemmed from the possibility of the poison reactivating in Leon\'s body.
If this were to happ, she would once again have to suppress it, just as she had done before.
The thought of that sce caused Liliana, who typically maintained an indiffert and cold demeanor, to blush with embarrassmt involuntarily.
At the sound of Liliana\'s voice, Leon quickly regained his composure, pushing aside his fear and anxiety.
"Ah! I\'m fine; don\'t worry about me," Leon feigned his usual relaxed demeanor.
He hesitated to disclose his shameful past to Liliana, unsure of the repercussions it could bring.
"So, what prompted you to share this with me?" Leon inquired, curious about Liliana\'s motivation.
To be honest, the news of Atha\'s impding visit had little relevance to him.
Nevertheless, he felt grateful that Liliana had confided in him about it.
In case his strgth hadn\'t fully returned by the time Atha arrived, he could devise 0 escape plans in advance!
He dreaded the thought of countering that crazy woman in his weaked state, fearing he might be devoured without a trace left behind!
Liliana expericed a subtle sse of relief upon learning that his condition seemed to be fine.
With a subtly softed expression, she glanced at Leon beside her.
"The truth is, I wanted you to accompany me wh Atha Hellness arrives," she admitted.
