My Love Debts Are Everywhere!

Leon glanced at Arshley's dark expression and couldn't help but chuckle.

Of course, he knew exactly what his sister wanted to do but had deliberately pretended not to notice.

Seeing her plan fall apart due to the sudden knock on the door, he could only smile in amusement.@@novelbin@@

Gently rubbing her face, he turned toward the door and said, "Come in. It's unlocked."

*Clack!*

The door swung open, revealing Albert in his practice clothes.

Albert was about to greet Leon but froze at the awkward scene before him.

"Ahem! It seems I came at the wrong time." He cleared his throat, visibly embarrassed, and turned to leave, but Leon quickly stopped him.

"Don't worry. Come in," Leon said casually as he shifted Arshley, who was hanging onto him, to the side. Stay tuned with My Virtual Library Empire

Arshley was clearly displeased, but she stayed silent and obediently sat beside him, folding her arms over her huge chest.

Since Leon had already spoken, Albert didn't dare to argue and stepped hesitantly into Arshley's workspace.

He walked over to the sofa across from them and sat down with a quiet sigh.

"Would you like some tea? I'll make some," Leon offered as he slowly got up.

"Wait! That won't be necessary, Sword Hero Leon." Albert hurriedly refused. "I can't possibly let you make tea for me. Besides, I just came to discuss a few minor matters."

Leon was a hero of high status. How could he possibly let Leon make tea for him?

Leon rolled his eyes at Albert's refusal. "Tsk! Why are you being so formal with me, Albert? We fought side by side to overthrow Velix, remember? Besides, we've known each other for a long time. What are you so worried about?"

Without giving Albert a chance to protest, Leon walked over to the table where he had prepared tea and coffee earlier and brewed a fresh cup for Albert.

Seeing Leon's insistence, Albert could only sigh softly and remain silent.

Arshley chuckled at their exchange. She knew her brother well—he never liked being treated with excessive reverence by those he considered friends.

That trait was one of the reasons he was so beloved by both his soldiers and the people he led—including Arshley herself.

After a while, Leon finished making the tea and set it down in front of Albert.

"So, what brings you here?" he asked casually, taking a slow sip of his coffee as he sat back down.

Albert didn't respond right away. He took a sip of tea, letting its warmth ease his tension.

Only after setting the cup back on the saucer did he meet Leon's gaze with a calm expression.

"Sword Hero, the task you assigned me regarding the noble families has been fully completed," Albert reported respectfully.

"Oh?" Leon raised an eyebrow, a hint of excitement flashing across his handsome face. "I didn't expect it to be done this quickly. Did you face any obstacles?"

Albert smiled faintly and shook his head. "No need to worry, Sword Hero. Since I followed the proper procedures, I didn't encounter any issues."

"Good." Leon nodded in satisfaction.

Although Arshley had seized control of the Holy Empire of Elysium and eliminated the noble families from power, executing them outright wasn't so simple.

The challenge wasn't because the noble families held significant power, but rather due to concerns that their execution might destabilize Arshley's newly established rule.

After all, a mass execution would undoubtedly spark public outcry—most of it negative.

If that happened, public dissatisfaction could grow, potentially leading to serious consequences in the future.

That was why Leon had given Albert the flexibility to handle the situation carefully—ensuring the noble families were dealt with without tarnishing Arshley's reputation.

And now, with Albert's success, Leon couldn't be more pleased.

Beside him, Arshley was just as surprised as Leon. She hadn't expected Albert to resolve the issue so quickly.

"By the way, Sword Hero Leon, Saint Arshley, I have something else to report," Albert said, his expression turning serious. "I've managed to win over most of the soldiers who previously served under Velix. However, some remain stubborn and resentful over what happened to him and the Holy Empire of Elysium. How should I handle them?"

Leon was slightly taken aback and looked at Albert in astonishment. "Have you tried persuading them?"

"I have, Sword Hero Leon," Albert replied with a small nod. Then, with a slightly embarrassed expression, he added, "But they refuse to change their stance. I'm considering applying military law, but I wanted to consult you first."

"I see..." Leon finally understood the dilemma.

Instead of answering right away, he turned to Arshley and asked, "How do you want to handle this?"

Arshley quickly caught his meaning and met Albert's gaze with a calm, indifferent expression.

"This matter is yours to decide, Supreme Leader Albert. If you choose to enforce military law, I won't interfere," she stated firmly.

Albert let out a quiet sigh of relief and nodded. "Thank you, Saint Arshley."

After that, the three continued their discussion, addressing various critical matters concerning the well-being of the cities that had been affected by the rebellion.

Resolving these issues required military involvement—after all, it was the soldiers who had carried out the rebellion, even if the ultimate responsibility rested with Leon himself.

After about fifteen minutes, Albert finally rose to his feet, deciding not to take up any more of their time.

"In that case, I request permission to take my leave, Sword Hero Leon, Saint Arshley," he said respectfully.

"Very well, and thank you for your report," Leon responded with a slight nod.

"You're welcome, Sword Hero Leon," Albert replied with enthusiasm.

However, just as he was about to leave, his expression suddenly shifted, and he turned to Leon with a hesitant look.

As if already knowing what Albert wanted to ask, Leon reassured him before he could even speak.

"Don't worry, I've already sent soldiers to bring Eris here. She should arrive within two days at most."

Albert's face immediately brightened, and he bowed deeply in gratitude.

"Thank you! Thank you, Sword Hero Leon!" Tears welled up in Albert's eyes, reflecting his overwhelming joy.

"You're welcome, Albert. I made a promise, and I intend to keep it," Leon replied casually, waving his hand dismissively.

Albert lifted his head and nodded vigorously. After offering a few more words of gratitude, he quickly took his leave, leaving the two alone.

Sensing an opportunity, Arshley's excitement soared. She gazed at Leon as if he were a perfectly cooked steak, ready to be devoured.

Unfortunately, just as she was about to act, the sound of approaching footsteps echoed from the door, followed by a knock and Luna's indifferent voice.

"Leon, I heard you're inside. Edward has arrived from the Holy Orthodox to see you."
