It's hard to imagine what Leon would be like if he were a girl.
"Uh……"
Leon felt a chill run down his spine under Philippa's gaze.
Unlike some of the readers in the Lolita Collection who fantasize about losing their younger brother and becoming a loli themselves, he doesn't.
Leon is quite satisfied with his gender.
But without Erik, Leon really had no choice but to survive.
"But the fact is, Leon no longer needs your help, and how can you be sure Leon would want to change his personality?"
Eric retorted sharply.
The smell of gunpowder in the air gradually intensified.
“Listen to me, first of all—it was indeed Eric who saved me.”
Leon felt they couldn't let them keep arguing, so he tried to calm things down.
"Leon, shut up."
Philippa and Helena spoke in unison.
"No, you go out first."
Helena changed her tune.
"I'm going out?"
Leon was puzzled.
"You don't need to keep listening to what girls are talking about."
Philippa echoed.
"Leon, why don't you step aside for a moment? I think the three of us really need to clarify some things, and it's inconvenient for you to be here."
Eric also looked at Leon.
"Row."
Leon nodded. What else could he say? He couldn't afford to offend any of the three women!
Leon left the palace, closed the door, and then sat down alone on the steps.
Eric's internal energy was indeed powerful. Leon felt that his decaying body had not only been reversed, but he even had a feeling of being reborn, and his strength was more abundant than before.
only……
This also completely bound himself to Eric. This deepened Leon's guilt towards Helena even further.
At this moment, Leon felt he should think about what the protagonist of a harem novel in a lolita bag would do.
Inside the royal palace at this moment.
Eric, Helena, and Philippa exchanged glances before Eric spoke, "Let me start. It's impossible for me to leave Leon, but I don't want everyone to be in such a difficult position, especially Helena. Right now, in this world, besides Leon, you're the person I'm closest to. I'm sorry that I still interfered in your relationship even though I knew about it."
“Helena, I’ve been thinking about it, and maybe you’re the only one who is truly worthy of Leon.”
Philippa smiled too.
“When I was with Leon before, I suspected that he had someone in his heart. Judging from the timeline, you were indeed the first to enter Leon’s heart, and the one who entered it the deepest.”
Philippa continued, “Not long ago, in the Thorn Forest, I was thinking about what my love for Leon really was. I said I would rather Leon die than have anyone else possess him, but you would rather leave him and hope that he can live well.”
Compared to you, my love for Leon seems selfish and insignificant.
At this point, Philippa sighed, and her voice trailed off.
"It seems you all know very well that you were the ones who interfered with my pure love with Leon."
Helena sighed helplessly, "But after you all got involved, none of you wanted to leave."
"Eric".
Helena looked at Eric and said, "I never expected that you would try to steal my man. You hadn't shown any signs of that before."
“When Leon was dying, I was by his side. Knowing that he would never be here again, I was very sad. It was probably at that moment that I finally realized that I had fallen for this human.”
Eric explained, “Dragons are just unreasonable creatures. If I want something, I’ll have to take it by force. But Helena, if it’s you, I’m willing to give in.”
"concession?"
"Yes, although I am utterly disappointed with the dragon society, it is still my true home. All my people are there. From my position, it is impossible for me to become Leon's queen. That would mean I would bear the fate of your human race. But for me, I just like Leon. I don't want to care about anything else."
Eric explained.
"Queen?"
Philippa was puzzled.
"Before you two arrived, Leon and Lyon were discussing the throne, and ultimately decided that Leon would sit on the throne."
Eric said.
"If that's the case, as the Holy Maiden of the Vampire Clan, and with the Vampire Queen fallen, I will succeed the Queen as the new leader of the Vampire Clan. My primary responsibility is naturally to consider the interests of the Vampire Clan. Therefore, I also have selfish motives. I cannot sit on the position of Queen. I think the citizens of their human empire will also oppose it."
After thinking for a moment, Philippa said, "The vampires themselves would not allow me to remain among the humans as the queen of the human empire."
"This is what you are doing?"
Helena glanced at the complicated look in Erico's and Philippa's eyes as they both looked at her.
"The only one most suitable to be Leon's right-hand woman is you, Helena."
Eric said.
“I have no objection. You are the one who loves Leon the most. I just selfishly want Leon to become my male concubine.”
Philippa continued.
So you two are quitting?
Helena said.
"No, I said I wouldn't leave Leon."
Eric said, "I just don't want to be the queen of the human race."
Philippa echoed, "I won't give up on Leon either, especially since we've already had a wedding ceremony. It's just that my identity doesn't allow me to disregard the interests of the vampire clan."
"So, you're just willing to give up the position of the main wife?"
Helena said.
"Yes."
Eric and Philippa nodded at the same time.
"Helena, the position of the empress is rightfully yours. We won't accept any other woman as the rightful wife."
Philippa continued.
Chapter Thirty-Two: Leon, Marry Me or Naden's Uprising
After sitting outside the steps for a long time, the doors of the royal palace were finally opened.
Eric, Philippa, and Helena emerged from the door one after the other.
The three of them smiled at each other, and the tension that had threatened to escalate completely vanished.
This left Leon, who had considered several solutions for resolving the conflict between the three women, somewhat at a loss.
"This is what you are doing?"
Leon asked, puzzled.
"I still need to go back to the Thorn Forest to deal with some internal issues of the vampire clan. Since Leon, you're not going to die, I'll head back first."
Philippa smiled, walked up to Leon, and gently pressed her index finger to his lips, saying with a mischievous grin, "I'll come back to you after I've dealt with things with the vampires."
After saying that, Philippa stopped and quickly left.
"You talk to Helena, we've already reached a conclusion."
Eric chuckled, then leaned close to Leon's ear and whispered, "Leon, if you dare to take my luck, then you'd better take responsibility."
After saying that, Eric also left.
Only Leon and Helena remained.
"Helena—oh!"
Leon was about to speak when Helena grabbed his ear.
"Ouch, that hurts! Helena, what happened to you?!"
"You, Leon! You keep saying you only love me, but you're always flirting with other women and leaving your mark everywhere! You're a complete and utterly shameless bastard!"
Helena angrily twisted Leon's ear.
She wasn't satisfied yet, so she grabbed Leon's collar with her other hand, then pulled his arm and threw him over her shoulder.
Leon slammed hard onto the ground and rolled down the steps.
But that wasn't enough. Helena immediately rushed forward, grabbed Leon, and then slammed him down.
This blow was even harder than the last, leaving Leon completely disoriented and seeing stars.
Before Leon could even react, Helena grabbed him and threw him over her shoulder again. With a crisp crack, Leon's arm was dislocated.
Despite this, Helena was still not satisfied. She grabbed Leon and slammed him to the ground several times until he was bruised and bleeding from the mouth, before she finally stopped.
Exhausted, she squatted down next to Leon, who was slumped on the ground. After catching her breath several times, she began to cry silently. She cried hard and fiercely, and in an instant, her fair face was covered with tears.
Leon used his undislocated hand to push himself up and quickly sat up.
"Don't...don't cry, Helena, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
Leon raised his hand to wipe away Helena's tears, but immediately pulled it back just before touching her face.
His hands were covered in mud and dirt.
But as he pulled his hand halfway back, Helena reached out and grabbed it. Then, Helena suddenly pulled hard, and Leon's body immediately leaned towards her.
At that moment, Leon felt a hand press down hard on the back of his head, and at the same time, he felt a cool sensation on his lips, followed by an indescribable softness covering them.
Leon instinctively closed his eyes, feeling the intense warmth emanating from Helena.
They kissed for an unknown amount of time.
Leon was still somewhat taken aback when Helena's lips left his.
"Leon, marry me."
Helena stared into Leon's eyes and spoke slowly and deliberately.
"it is good."
Leon gazed into those beautiful rose-red eyes and nodded firmly. He reached out and forcefully pried open the other dislocated hand, which was quickly repaired.
Then, Leon hugged Helena and kissed her again...
Fichster Empire
Rivertan is one of the five important cities on the border of the North Sea leading to Guberlan. After passing Rivertan, the royal capital Guberlan is not far away.
The mighty Zhenbei Army, carrying countless corpses, swept across the moat of Hetan City—the Mixi River.
The remaining defenders on the opposite bank of the river were routed by the fierce Zhenbei Army, fleeing in disarray, abandoning their armor and weapons. The officer commanding the defenders continued to fight tenaciously, but was eventually beheaded on the spot by a Zhenbei Army soldier in the melee.
The entire city of Hetan has fallen.
The Hetan Municipal Government Building.
Naden walked in unhurriedly.
The city's high-ranking officials, who had already been apprehended, were now surrounded in the lobby of the government building.
"Your Highness Regent, spare me! Spare me!"
Compared to the officer who had vowed to lead the defending troops to resist to the death, these fat-headed politicians now appeared cowardly and afraid of death.
"Who is the lord of this city?"
