My Love Debts Are Everywhere!

"Guess who I am?"

Leon was momentarily stunned before a faint smile curved his lips. Just from the voice and scent, he already knew it was Luna.

However, instead of answering immediately, he decided to tease her.

"Hmm..." Leon rubbed his chin as if deep in thought before replying hesitantly, "I have no idea who you are, but judging by your voice, you must be a woman."

Then, sniffing the air, he furrowed his brows slightly. "Wait... why do I smell something bad? Have you not bathed yet? If that's the case, stay away from me! That's disgusting!"

Luna, who had been standing confidently behind him, froze in shock. Panicked, she quickly removed her hands from his eyes and frantically sniffed herself.

Her tense expression soon softened with relief when she realized there was no unpleasant odor.

But the moment she turned back to Leon, she found him already facing her, a playful, mocking grin on his face.

It only took a second for her to realize—she had been tricked!

"You..." Her cheeks flushed, and her blue eyes burned with irritation. "Leon, you jerk!"

She clenched her fist and swung at him, but Leon effortlessly parried it.

Fortunately, the punch carried no holy power or strength, making it easy for him to block.

"Pfft!" Leon burst into laughter while firmly gripping her fist, further fueling Luna's frustration.

"Damn you, Leon! How dare you catch my attack?!" Luna growled in irritation. She yanked her hand free and attempted to lunge at him—but failed.

Leon effortlessly dodged, flashing a teasing grin. "My dear Luna, you're a hundred years too early to catch me."

With that, he swiftly leaped over the balcony railing and dashed toward the garden.

Seeing him run only provoked Luna further. Without hesitation, she gave chase, shouting angrily, "I'll catch you, stinky Leon!"

The two darted through the garden in a playful chase, neither using their holy power nor taking it seriously—it was just a lighthearted game.

Fifteen minutes later...

"Hah... Hah..."

Leon and Luna sat slumped in rattan chairs, panting heavily. Sweat clung to their clothes, exhaustion weighing down their bodies.

Yet, despite their fatigue, small smiles of pure joy lingered on their faces.

"You're really stubborn, Luna," Leon muttered, massaging his temples in resignation.

He had already given up, yet this woman still pursued him relentlessly, forcing him to keep running just to escape.

"Hmph!" Luna huffed in annoyance. "If you hadn't run away, I wouldn't have chased you."

Leon simply chuckled, not bothering to argue. After all, he had provoked this stubborn woman first.

Pouring tea from the teapot into his cup, he took a sip, instantly feeling refreshed.

"So, what brings you here? Do you need something?" he asked casually.

Luna's gaze landed on the teacup resting on the side table. Just as she was about to pick it up, she noticed a small puddle of tea inside.

"Was someone here before I arrived?" she asked curiously.

Yet, she was certain she hadn't seen anyone while walking from the parlor to the balcony.

Letting out a small sigh, she shot Leon an annoyed look and replied coldly, "Do I need a reason to visit you?"@@novelbin@@

Leon could sense the irritation in her voice, which only made him smile.

"Alright, don't be mad," he said in a soothing tone, gently ruffling her hair. "I didn't mean it like that. But I'm sure you came here for a reason, right? Just tell me."

Feeling the gentle touch on her head, Luna's anger gradually faded, replaced by a joyful smile she couldn't quite hide.

"I came to you with one purpose—to take you for a walk to the center of Atheris. There's a special festival happening there right now, and I thought it'd be fun to spend some time together," Luna said softly. "So, do you want to go?"

"Festival?" Leon raised an eyebrow in surprise before something clicked in his memory. "Wait… are you talking about the Love Festival?"

Among the four major cities of the Golden Quadrangle, Atheris was the most bustling and prosperous.

People from various cities and towns flocked there—some to sell their goods, others to seek fortune.

For thousands of years, this influx of people had made Atheris a melting pot of diverse personalities, cultures, and beliefs.

Over time, these differences merged, leading to a shared cultural and religious identity—one of which was the belief in the Goddess of Love.

As a tribute, the people of Atheris held an annual celebration known as the Love Festival.

It was said that those without a partner were highly encouraged to attend and pray to the Goddess of Love, hoping to meet their destined one.

The festival was originally supposed to begin a few days ago, but it was postponed due to the chaos in various cities caused by the rebellion of noble families.

As a result, the celebration was rescheduled and set to take place today.

Luna gave a small smile and nodded lightly. "Yes, the Love Festival starts tonight. Do you want to come?"

Leon didn't answer immediately, as if weighing his decision. In truth, he was exhausted and wanted to rest.

However, just as he was about to refuse, he caught the hopeful look on Luna's face and swallowed his words.

"Alright, I'll go."

"Yay!" Luna cheered excitedly. She quickly stood up and grabbed Leon's right hand. "Then let's go!"

Before Leon could even react, Luna eagerly pulled him off the balcony.

...

Like a bullet fired from a gun, time flew by, and before anyone realized it, two months had passed.

Two months might not seem long, but it was enough for a series of major events to unfold.

In that short span, the structure of governance and the lives of humankind underwent drastic changes.

With Velix's death and the fall of the Holy Empire of Elysium into the hands of the rebels, the once-unified territories of the empire were now left in a state of power vacuum.

This instability naturally became a golden opportunity for those driven by greed and ambition—namely, the noble families.

The nobles who had once been ousted from power by Velix quickly reclaimed cities and towns, declaring them as their own.

This phenomenon spread across nearly every city, fueling further chaos and deepening the people's resentment toward the nobility.

After all, the citizens still vividly remembered the cruelty of the noble families before Velix had stripped them of power. Thus, they staunchly rejected the nobles' unilateral claims.

Amidst the growing tension, Arshley swiftly took control of the former territories of the Holy Empire of Elysium and declared their unification with the Holy Orthodox.

This move infuriated the noble families, who wasted no time in declaring war against the Holy Orthodox.

Unfortunately for them, they remained unaware that the rebel forces they counted on were actually under Leon's control—rendering their resistance meaningless.

Rather than engaging in battle, Leon simply ordered the rebel forces to capture and execute the nobles one by one, without hesitation.

For pests and parasites like them, it was better to be eradicated now than to let them fester into a greater threat later.

Initially, the people across various cities strongly opposed Arshley's declaration.

However, as the prolonged power vacuum led to instability in the economy, security, and other vital sectors, their resistance began to wane.

In the end, they accepted the decision and united in supporting Arshley as the sole ruler of humankind.
