My Love Debts Are Everywhere!

"Charlotte! Iris! Stella!"

At the sound of that familiar voice, the three girls turned around, only to see Liliana rushing toward them, her face filled with anxiety.

"Mommy!"

"Mommy!"

"Aunt Liliana!" Discover hidden content at My Virtual Library Empire

Their lips curled into bright smiles as they called out to her.

In the blink of an eye, Liliana vanished from her spot and reappeared right in front of them.

Seeing that they were fine, Liliana let out a relieved sigh, and the worries gnawing at her vanished instantly.

However, the moment her gaze landed on Stella and Charlotte's dire condition, her red eyes widened in shock.

A black-purple aura erupted from her body, and her expression turned ice-cold.

"Did those assassins do this?" She asked through gritted teeth.

Stella opened her mouth, ready to calm her down, but before she could speak, Iris quickly cut in, "Yes, Mommy! It was all because of them."

She pointed toward the distance where two men lay helplessly in a miserable state, then spoke with hatred lacing her voice. "They targeted me, Sister Charlotte, and Fiona. But Sister Stella tried to hold them back and ended up getting beaten so badly that she ended up like this."

"Although Sister Charlotte's injuries weren't as severe as Sister Stella's, she still got hurt protecting us..." Tears welled up in her round eyes. "Mommy, you have to make them pay for their cruelty!"

The memory of her two sisters getting hurt while shielding her and Fiona remained painfully vivid. Perhaps, for the rest of her life, she would never forget it.

Upon hearing this, Liliana's fury reached its peak. "Bastards…"

Her red eyes, filled with murderous intent, locked onto the men. Then, she raised the fingers of her left hand.

*Drrrrk!*

The ground beneath them trembled violently. Moments later, a massive, gaping maw—five meters wide—emerged and swallowed them whole.

Liliana took a deep breath, suppressing her rage, then turned to the three girls with a gentle gaze.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure they suffer later," she said in a soothing tone.

Iris wiped her tears and nodded vigorously. "Thank you, Mommy."

Liliana gave a small nod before shifting her gaze to Stella, whose condition was dire.

Both of Stella's eyes were swollen, with bruises covering her face.

Dried blood crusted around her nostrils, ears, and the corners of her mouth. Seeing her in such a state tore Liliana's heart apart.

Though Stella was not her daughter, Liliana had always considered her as one of her own.

Moreover, Leon had entrusted her with Stella's care, yet she had failed to fulfill that simple request.

What pained her even more was knowing that Stella's injuries were the result of her trying to protect her sisters. The thought only deepened Liliana's guilt.

"Stella, I'm sorry. If only I had been more careful, you wouldn't have had to go through this," Liliana said, her voice filled with regret.

As the Demon Emperor, she was a figure revered by demons and feared by humans. Her very name alone could send shivers down spines and haunt dreams.

Yet, here she was, lowering herself and apologizing—proof of just how precious Stella was to her.

Stella shook her head, stepped forward, and grasped Liliana's right hand tightly.

"There's no need to apologize, Aunt Liliana. They are my sisters, and protecting them is my duty," she stated firmly.

Iris and Charlotte couldn't help but feel emotional. From the very beginning, they had always known how much Stella loved them. Otherwise, why would she willingly endure such pain to protect them?

Liliana was deeply moved by her heartfelt words as well. At that moment, she finally understood why Fiona adored Stella so much and why Leon had been so determined to adopt her.

Despite her young age, Stella was truly a remarkable and responsible girl.

"Thank you, Stella," Liliana said warmly.

She gently placed her hand on Stella's head, and a bright red light glowed in her palm.

Slowly, the light spread from Stella's head, enveloping her entire body.

Moments later, every wound vanished without a trace, and Stella was fully restored to her original state.

After healing Stella, Liliana turned her attention to Charlotte.

Though Charlotte's injuries weren't as severe, Liliana's heart still ached to see her little girl subjected to such violence.@@novelbin@@

After all, she had never once laid a hand on her three daughters.

Yet, those two men had dared to harm Charlotte to this extent—something she would never let go unpunished.

After confirming that both were completely fine, Liliana shifted her gaze to Fiona, who was floating midair, radiating an incredibly powerful holy power.

Her eyes narrowed slightly as she cautiously asked, "Can you explain what happened to Fiona? Why is she like this?"

To be honest, she still found it hard to believe what she was seeing. Fiona—this little girl—possessed the holy power of heroes.

Even more astonishing, the intensity of her power rivaled what Leon had displayed when he recovered from the devouring poison back then.

According to historical records, something like this should have been impossible. After all, the power of heroes was not something that could simply be inherited.

If it were, the world would have long since fallen into chaos, with generations of heroes' descendants wielding the same overwhelming power.

Hearing Liliana's question, Iris looked at Fiona with a conflicted expression before explaining, "Mommy, at that time..."

She then began recounting everything she had witnessed firsthand.

Liliana listened intently, and once Iris finished, she spoke. "So, you're saying she suddenly became like this?"

"Yes." Iris gave a small nod before adding, "I remember she burst into tears when she saw Sister Stella and Sister Charlotte being beaten by those two men. Then, all of a sudden, she unleashed that immense power."

For a moment, she fell silent, concern evident on her face as she hesitantly asked, "Mommy, is Fiona okay? Can she be saved?"

She didn't understand what had happened to Fiona, but one thing was certain—she didn't want her silly little sister, whom she loved, to suffer or be hurt in any way.

Stella and Charlotte also looked at Liliana anxiously, hoping she had a way to save Fiona.

Liliana took a deep breath and gave a reassuring nod. "You don't have to worry. I'll do everything I can to save Fiona."

In truth, she wasn't entirely confident that she could. Not because she didn't love Fiona, but because the holy power radiating from her was simply too overwhelming.

For demons, holy power was the most dangerous natural enemy.

Even a single sword strike imbued with it could leave wounds that never healed, spreading like a curse throughout the body.

It was one of the many reasons her ancestors had always fallen at the hands of humanity's three heroes.

Nonetheless, she refused to give up so easily. Fiona was her daughter, and there was no way she could leave her in this state.

Taking a deep breath, a purplish-black aura erupted from her body, clashing against the overwhelming holy power radiating from Fiona.

The two opposing forces collided, unleashing a massive shockwave that devastated everything around them.

Fortunately, Liliana had anticipated this and managed to shield Charlotte, Iris, and Stella just in time.

Just as she was about to step closer to Fiona, a middle-aged voice suddenly rang out from behind her.

"Don't take another step. If you do, you'll suffer serious injuries."
