My Love Debts Are Everywhere!

Chapter 20: The Lost Leon and the Mysterious Enormous Hall

"Huh? This is..." Liliana muttered as she narrowed her eyes, opened the letter, and began to read.

While perusing the letter's contents, her countenance shifted to one of sullenness.

"This woman wants to visit here in a month? What does she mean, and what is her purpose?" Liliana closed the letter, asking herself inwardly with annoyance as she pondered its implications.

A hint of hatred and anger crept onto her face, emotions she made no effort to conceal after finishing reading the contents of the letter.

However, her anger was only momentary. She quickly regained her composure, rubbing her temples together and closing her eyes for a moment.

After a minute, she reopened her eyes, and her cold and indifferent expression reappeared on her face.

"Huh! No matter what, I'll discern this woman's purpose later. I hope she won't stir trouble upon entering the territory of my Demon race," she muttered, her tone laced with cold disdain, before finally rising to her feet from her chair.

She slowly walked over to the window and looked at the clear sky outside with a calm demeanor.

"Heidel!" Liliana called out in an indifferent tone.

Suddenly, from seemingly nowhere, a middle-aged man in butler's attire appeared behind her, respectfully bowing his head towards her.

"Is there anything I can assist you with, Your Majesty?" The middle-aged man, Heidel, asked respectfully.

"Heidel, are there any signs of activity from the Holy Orthodox troops at the border?" Liliana inquired indifferently, turning her back on him.

"Report to Your Majesty! There is no sign of an attack from the Holy Orthodox side, and our intelligence at the border reported that the Holy Orthodox troops are being pulled back," Heildel replied calmly before proceeding to explain the current situation at the border in detail.

During his explanation, shock and astonishment dawned on Liliana's face.

Turning her body to face him, she gazed at him with confusion and asked, "Are you certain about the Holy Orthodox withdrawing their troops?"

She remained skeptical of the news, finding it hard to believe.

Having already considered several battle scenarios involving the Holy Orthodox, none of which materialized, she felt that her vigilance had been somewhat futile.

"That's correct, Your Majesty. This news is highly accurate and aligns with the intelligence we received," Heidel replied firmly, finally convincing Liliana.

Nodding in acknowledgment, Liliana's face showed a slight sense of relief as she could finally relax a little.

"Very well, you may return," Liliana said, dismissing Heidel after hearing the news and no longer holding him back.

"In that case, I respectfully request permission to take a leave first, Your Majesty, the Demon Emperor," Heidel said, bowing his head once more before preparing to depart.

However, all of a sudden, a slight frown appeared on his face, signaling to Liliana that something had crossed his mind.

"Do you have something to say?" Liliana asked calmly, observing him closely.

"That's right, Your Majesty. I have a question regarding the man you brought..." Heidel began, but before he could finish, Liliana raised her right hand, cutting him off abruptly.

"You need not worry about that. I have my own conditions and methods," Liliana replied firmly, causing Heidel to fall silent and nod in understanding.

"If Your Majesty insists, I won't inquire further," Heidel responded before vanishing from his position like a shadow, leaving Liliana alone in her workspace.

As she watched him depart, Liliana sighed and turned to gaze at the blue sky outside the window, her expression tinged with complexity.

"I hope I made the right choice..."

...

Meanwhile, inside a vast hall with towering pillars that seemed to stretch toward the sky, Leon stood with a composed expression on his face.

"Well, am I truly lost now?" He muttered in surprise, casting a glance at his completely unfamiliar surroundings.

He hadn't anticipated getting lost while
