My Love Debts Are Everywhere!

"Today... is the day the side effects of the Demon Mark will begin!?"

Liliana's annoyed expression vanished instantly upon noticing that Leon had already grasped the situation, and she approached him with deliberate steps.

"Yes, you're correct. Tonight marks the reactivation of the Demon Mark's side effects, and you're aware of the consequences if that occurs." Liliana murmured, her lower lip caught between her teeth as she shot Leon a meaningful glance, silently conveying, 'You comprehend, don't you?'

As a handsome and perfectly healthy man, Leon couldn't possibly fail to comprehend Liliana's intentions.

Yet he found himself slightly taken aback by the realization that five days had elapsed since their passionate night.

Hold on... Five days?

Leon furrowed his brow and glanced at Liliana, who stood before him with a perplexed expression.

"Liliana, haven't you miscounted the timing? Isn't tomorrow the fifth day after that night's incident, not today?" Leon questioned her, his confusion apparent.

Having just counted, Leon confirmed that today was still the fourth day since their passionate night.

Upon hearing Leon's question, a smile instantly spread across Liliana's lips, yet she quickly concealed it.

With her blood-red eyes, she gazed at Leon with indifference, yet within them lay an implicit message that Leon failed to perceive.

"No, you're mistaken, Leon. Today is indeed the fifth day, and I've been sensing the signs of the Demon Mark's side effects stirring since this afternoon," Liliana replied calmly, her usual nonchalant expression unchanged.

Then, she pressed her palm against her chest, and suddenly, her expression darkened into a frown, as if the side effects of the Demon Mark had resurfaced and she was battling to contain them.

Observing this, Leon, who had initially been concerned and panicked, suddenly sensed something amiss.

Liliana's expressions and furrowed brows seemed exceedingly contrived, almost as if they were staged!

Given his acting prowess akin to that of a Hollywood star, he immediately discerned that the Liliana before him was merely feigning.

'This woman...' Inevitably, Leon felt a slight twitch at the corners of his mouth upon realizing this fact.

Apart from Liliana's mediocre acting, Leon was also confident that tonight wasn't the fifth day following their night of passion.

Hence, he started to suspect that Liliana was merely using the excuse of the Demon Mark's side effects as a pretext for her visit to his room tonight!

And as for her true motive for coming, wasn't it glaringly obvious? Ehem

After snapping out of his reverie, Leon could only sigh and offer a helpless smile as he looked at Liliana, amusement evident in his eyes at her poor acting.

If only he hadn't been concerned about embarrassing her, he might have burst into laughter by now.

'This woman's acting skills leave much to be desired,' Leon thought with a slight chuckle.

Afterward, with a gentle smile on his lips, Leon stepped forward and pressed his body against Liliana's, only to suddenly feel two huge protrusions softly pressing against his chest.

Subsequently, without waiting for Liliana to react, Leon swiftly embraced her and wrapped his arms around her waist, flashing a playful smile as he murmured softly, "You're right, the side effects of the Demon Mark are inevitable tonight, and it's up to us to rid ourselves of them, isn't it?"

Since Liliana had already given him the code, how could he still exhibit hypocritical and foolish attitudes akin to those of protagonists in Japanese romance novels?

Feeling the tall, muscular body pressing against her own as it embraced her, Liliana felt her face heat up with embarrassment.

However, outwardly, she maintained an indifferent expression, yet her face was filled with frowns, as if she were still striving to withstand the side effects of the Demon Mark.

"Um, this side effect of the Demon Mark does require immediate attention," Liliana replied, furrowing her brows and pressing her face against Leon's broad chest as if truly affected by the Demon Mark's influence.

Nevertheless, both tips of her ears were as red as apples, revealing her profound embarrassment that she struggled to endure.

Leon smiled knowingly as he looked at Liliana in his arms, seeing her in a new light.

To be honest, Leon still struggled to envision Liliana, typically cold and indifferent, acting in such a manner.

This led him to wonder if there was a motive compelling Liliana's behavior.

However, Leon swiftly dismissed his curiosity, finding himself uninterested in delving further into the matter.

Despite any underlying motivations behind Liliana's actions, isn't this moment an opportunity for the two of them to strengthen their budding relationship, which had just begun?

With a gentle gesture, Leon caressed her lovely back, adorned by the thin fabric of her white nightgown, and offered a faint smile.

"Liliana, since we both want to quickly address the issue of the Demon Mark's side effects, could you wait a moment? There's something I need to attend to first," Leon said softly.

Liliana, still in Leon's arms, felt a pang of annoyance, as she believed this moment was perfect to begin their night, yet Leon seemed preoccupied with other matters.

How could she not feel frustrated?

Before she could voice her complaint, Leon swiftly released her from his embrace and dashed towards the bathroom.

Naturally, what he wanted to do was take a shower, as he hadn't had one since the afternoon.

After all, he hadn't anticipated Liliana coming over at night and wanting to advance their relationship to this level.

As Leon quickly left, Liliana contemplated stopping him, but seeing him head towards the bathroom, she immediately swallowed her words.

"This bastard, can't he just say he needs to go to the bathroom?" Liliana gritted her teeth in frustration and snorted coldly.

Maintaining her sullen expression, she sat on the sofa, crossed her legs, and waited for Leon to finish.

Feeling rather bored, Liliana leaned her head against the back of the sofa and gazed tiredly at the room's ceiling.

Subconsciously, her mind drifted to the letter she had received from Heidel.

"War, huh?" she muttered in a low tone.

Experience more on m,vle,mp _yr.

Just this afternoon, she had received information that the Holy Empire of Elysium had amassed hundreds of thousands of troops and was poised to launch a war within a day or two.

With the war looming so close, she realized she might not have much time left with her three daughters or even with Leon himself.

Hence, she resolved to accelerate her relationship with Leon tonight.

Despite feeling embarrassed about fabricating an excuse using the demon mark's side effects to visit Leon's room tonight, Liliana didn't mind at all.

"By the way, this is the first time we'll be fully aware while doing it, isn't it?" Liliana whispered softly, feeling embarrassed.

The incident four years ago, the act of suppressing the poison inside Leon's body, and the last night of passion spurred by the side effects of the Demon Mark were all undertaken without complete awareness.

Therefore, despite having already experienced it, Liliana felt extremely ashamed in this moment.

Just as Liliana was lost in her thoughts, suddenly, two strong arms enveloped her from behind, accompanied by Leon's soft voice.

"Well, I'm ready, Liliana. Shall we begin?"
