My Love Debts Are Everywhere!

Leon slowly opened the door to the four little girls' room and stepped inside.

When he saw Charlotte, Iris, Fiona, and Stella still sound asleep on the bed, a soft smile bloomed on his face.

"They must still be very tired from yesterday," he murmured under his breath with a small chuckle.

Walking over to the left side of the bed, he looked at Fiona, who was in the center position, and poked her chubby cheek gently.

"Mmm..." Sensing something touching her cheek, Fiona, who was sleeping soundly, squirmed slightly and furrowed her brow.

She turned to her side, attempting to continue her sleep, but Leon wasn't ready to give up just yet. He kept poking her chubby cheek with his index finger.

The persistent touch caused her eyelids to flutter before finally opening.

Letting out a small yawn, she sleepily sat up and grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Mmm... Who woke me up at this hour?"

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and turned her head to the right.

The moment she saw who it was, her drowsiness vanished, replaced by a spark of happiness.

"Dad—" Just as she was about to exclaim in excitement, Leon pressed a finger against her lips.

"Shh! Don't be noisy. You'll wake your sisters," he whispered, making a quiet gesture.

Fiona blinked her round, innocent eyes before giving a small nod, as if she understood.

"Good," Leon praised, rubbing her head affectionately.

Then, he leaned forward slightly, lifted her into his arms, and walked out of the room with her.

In the palace hallway, Leon strolled leisurely with Fiona in his arms. The little girl's freshly woken expression was undeniably adorable.

Her shoulder-length white hair was slightly messy and tangled, and her nightgown looked a bit disheveled.

Gently running his fingers through her hair in an attempt to straighten it, Leon apologized, "Sorry for waking you up so early, Fiona."

Fiona beamed and shook her head. "Don't worry, Daddy. I'm not mad at all. In fact, I'm really happy because the first thing I saw when I woke up was you. Hehehe..."

With her father often away from the palace, Fiona frequently felt lonely, always wishing he would be there when she woke up.

Today, that wish had finally come true, filling her with excitement and joy.

"You truly are my kind-hearted daughter," Leon praised, giving her cheek a gentle pinch.

Fiona giggled and snuggled against his chest with a contented expression.

As they made their way to the palace courtyard, Fiona didn't ask where they were going.

It didn't matter. As long as she was with her father, she was happy.

The two continued walking, passing through the parlor before finally arriving at the front courtyard.

However, instead of heading straight to the front courtyard, Leon made a slight detour toward the training yard on the right side of the inner palace.

The practice yard was a designated area for training, strictly reserved for the imperial family. No other soldiers or demons were allowed to use it.

As a result, security was tight, with guards stationed to prevent unauthorized entry.

As Leon and Fiona approached, two armored soldiers stood at attention, guarding the entrance to the practice yard.

"Good morning, you two," Leon greeted with a slight nod.

The soldiers were momentarily surprised to see him and Fiona but quickly bowed their heads respectfully.

"Good morning, Your Majesty Leon!" they responded in unison.

Having lived in the inner palace, they naturally recognized this handsome man.

He was the one Liliana had taken in, someone she shared an exceptionally close bond with—perhaps even more than that. Find exclusive stories on My Virtual Library Empire

In fact, they strongly suspected he was the father of Liliana's three daughters, though they wouldn't dare voice it aloud.

A strict prohibition had been placed upon them, forbidding any mention of the inner palace's affairs to the demons in the outer palace.

Should anyone attempt to break this rule, the prohibition would activate instantly, silencing them before they could speak—a fate that guaranteed a tragic end.

That was one of the main reasons Charlotte, Iris, and Fiona had remained entirely unknown to the demons in the outer palace since their birth.

Leon smiled and stated his purpose. "I've come to enter the inner training area. Can you open the gate?"

Since both he and Fiona were part of the imperial family, they naturally had the authority to enter.

As expected, the two soldiers dared not hesitate or question him. Without delay, they stepped aside and opened the gate.

"Of course, Your Majesty Leon. Please, go ahead," they said respectfully.

"Thank you," Leon replied before stepping inside.

The moment he passed through, the soldiers promptly shut the gate behind him. Then, they exchanged glances, their faces filled with awe.

"Did you feel that just now?" the soldier on the left asked, his voice laced with excitement.

His comrade nodded, clenching his fist. "Yeah, I felt it. Even though His Majesty Leon was suppressing his aura, I could still sense that overwhelming pressure... It was like being stared at by an ancient monster!"

Taking a deep breath, he pressed a hand to his chest, as if trying to steady his racing heartbeat.

"The man chosen by Her Majesty, the Demon Empress… there's no way he's just an ordinary figure," he muttered with a long sigh.

"Wow! This place is huge!"

Inside the training area, enclosed by solid walls, Fiona exclaimed in awe.

It was her first time here, and she couldn't hide her excitement at how spacious it was.

Leon chuckled and affectionately ruffled her hair. "This is the inner training area, reserved for the imperial family. When you grow up, I'll bring you back here to train you in combat."

"Wow!" Fiona's eyes sparkled with excitement. "If I train with you, will I be able to become a hero like you, Daddy?"

Leon was briefly surprised by her words but quickly regained his composure, offering a small nod.

"Of course. You'll grow strong and become a hero, just like me." He smiled, playfully poking her cheek.

Then, he carried Fiona to the center of the training area before gently setting her down.

His gaze swept across the vast space, and he couldn't help but be impressed.

"This place is enormous—it's even bigger than the outer training grounds," he murmured to himself.

The training area was divided into two sections: indoor and outdoor. The outdoor training area was designated for soldiers, while the indoor one was exclusively reserved for the imperial family.

Incidentally, the place where he had fought Merlin was in the outdoor training area.

Once satisfied with his observations, Leon closed his eyes and called out, "Miranda, can you appear in your spirit form?"

A few seconds later, a voice echoed in his mind.

"Okay, Master."

*Buzz!*

A streak of light suddenly materialized beside him, expanding and taking the shape of Miranda's graceful figure.

The moment Fiona saw her, she blinked before greeting her excitedly.

"Good morning, Sister Miranda!"

Miranda turned to Fiona with a gentle smile. Crouching slightly, she reached out and softly ruffled the little girl's hair.

"Good morning to you too, Fiona."

After their brief exchange, Miranda straightened up and shifted her gaze to Leon, curiosity flickering in her eyes.

"Do you need something from me, Master?"

Leon nodded, his expression gradually turning serious.

"Yes, Miranda. There's something important that requires your help."

He then carefully explained the unusual situation involving Fiona.

Upon hearing it, Miranda's eyes widened, her heart pounding.

"Fiona possesses holy power… and a hero's destiny?"
