My Love Debts Are Everywhere!

"This... What on earth is happening!?"

Liliana widened her eyes in disbelief at the sight within Leon's room, an occurrence she never imagined would transpire.

Contrary to its usual state of cleanliness and tidiness, Leon's room appeared incredibly disheveled and chaotic this time.

Every piece of furniture—the closet, reading desk, small cupboard, sofa, and the table beside it—along with everything else within, lay in disarray, smudged with black stains covering every surface.

The once pristine white walls now bore ghastly black streaks, while the meticulously organized books from the bookcase were strewn across the floor carpet.

In essence, inside Leon's room, the scene resembled the aftermath of explosive magic, ravaging its entire interior.

"What's happening here? How could his room transform like this in just five days? Could all this chaos result from his experimentation with the antidote for the devouring poison?" Liliana muttered cautiously to herself as she entered the room.

A frown creased her coldly beautiful face as she scrutinized every corner of Leon's room once more.

After scrutinizing the chaotic scene more closely, Liliana suddenly realized that Leon was nowhere to be found, prompting her to narrow her eyes in concern.

"Leon? Where are you?" Liliana frowned, her voice echoing loudly as she scanned the surroundings in search of him.

However, there was no sign of Leon or any response from him, leaving her feeling increasingly uneasy.

"Could he be in the bathroom?" Liliana wondered inwardly.

Swiftly, she activated magic capable of seeing through walls and directed her gaze into the bathroom.

As her eyes fell upon the scene inside, her previously indifferent expression turned deathly pale in an instant.

There lay Leon, unconscious—a sight that sent her heart racing uncontrollably.

"Leon!?" Liliana exclaimed in disbelief, teleporting to the bathroom door and swiftly opening it.

Upon seeing Leon lying inside, his clothes smudged with black stains and his once handsome face pale as a corpse, Liliana hurried over to him, checking his condition anxiously.

After a few moments of examination using magic, Liliana's panicked expression dissolved into relief, and her racing heart gradually returned to its normal rhythm.

"Hah, fortunately, he only fainted from exhaustion... that really scared me!" Liliana let out a sigh of relief, her hand instinctively patting her chest, causing her huge breasts beneath her dress to sway slightly.

At the sight of Leon lying unconscious earlier, she had felt as though the sky was collapsing above her, fearing he might have been harmed or worse during her absence in the outer palace.

Fortunately, nothing dire had happened to him; Leon had simply collapsed from exhaustion.

Observing Leon's pale, handsome face and disheveled appearance, with black stains on his clothes mirroring those scattered throughout his room, Liliana couldn't help but feel a mixture of anger and annoyance towards him.

"This bastard truly doesn't value his own life or consider the consequences for those around him if something were to happen..." Liliana grumbled inwardly, a strong urge to punch Leon simmering within her.

She surmised that the disorder in the room and his subsequent collapse from exhaustion were likely the result of his relentless pursuit to concoct an antidote for the devouring poison, pushing himself to the brink of exhaustion and inevitably causing a series of failures that left the room in disarray.

However, after a while, her annoyance gradually dissipated, giving way to a sense of helplessness.

She was well aware of Leon's stubborn nature, but she hadn't anticipated it reaching such extremes.

With a gentle gaze in her typically indifferent red eyes, Liliana pinched Leon's cheeks lightly, using the gesture to vent her lingering annoyance.

After a few moments of satisfyingly pinching his face, a contented smile graced her beautiful and alluring lips.

"Well, consider that your punishment," Liliana remarked softly, her smile lingering.

Without hesitation, Liliana lifted the unconscious Leon out of the bathroom and swiftly transported him to the bed, which, thankfully, remained unmarred by the black stains that had engulfed the rest of the bedroom.

Upon reaching the bed, Liliana carefully laid Leon down and adjusted his position before pulling the blanket over him.

With everything in order, Liliana's gaze turned to the rest of the disheveled room, her expression cold and indifferent as she surveyed the chaos.

"Shadows," Liliana whispered in a low and indifferent tone.

*Whoosh!*

Abruptly, a black circle manifested on the carpet behind Liliana, from which ten figures, shrouded in cloaks that concealed their entire appearance, emerged simultaneously.

As the ten figures clad in black cloaks materialized, a dark and potent aura permeated Leon's room.

However, upon catching sight of Liliana, they swiftly retracted their auras, each folding one leg and bowing their heads respectfully.

"Hail, Demon Emperor!" The ten figures synchronized their movements, covering their hands simultaneously and offering a salute to Liliana.

Responding to their greetings, Liliana nodded her head slightly.

Turning back, she regarded the ten of them with a cold, indifferent gaze.

They were her personal squad of ten high-level demons, known by the nickname "Shadows."

The strength of each of them was formidable, though still far from reaching the level of an archdemon of Lyra or Heidel's caliber.

However, when united, five of them wielded power equivalent to that of a single archdemon, suggesting that all ten had the capability to confront two archdemons simultaneously!

This comparison alone underscores the immense power wielded by the shadow squad.

"Shadows, I summoned you because I need your help," Liliana stated indifferently and coldly.

Upon hearing this, the ten cloaked figures lowered their heads once more and replied simultaneously, "Please tell us your orders, Demon Emperor!"

As Liliana's personal squad, they frequently undertook tasks from her, which ranged from spying to surveillance and beyond.

Thus, deep down, they had already anticipated and discerned what would be commanded of them.

Yet, contrary to their expectations, Liliana's next order left them speechless.

"I summoned you to assist in tidying up this room," Liliana said with a faint smile, her tone nonchalant as she gestured towards the chaos in Leon's room.

Shadows: "..."

The shadows remained silent, their reactions momentarily frozen as if they had misinterpreted Liliana's words.

"Um... Your Majesty, the Demon Emperor... Could you please repeat your order?" One member of the shadow squad asked in a hesitant tone.

His central position and boldness in inquiring about Liliana made it apparent that he held the leadership role within the squad.

Liliana raised one eyebrow and fixed him with a cold stare.

"Didn't you hear clearly enough? I summoned you here to clean up this whole mess of a room," Liliana said coldly.

Her eyes narrowed, and she continued in an indifferent tone, "Or, do you not want to obey my orders?"

As she spoke, an unusually powerful red aura condensed around Liliana's body, and like a tsunami, it instantly enveloped all of them.

"Arghh!" The shadows, each a high-level demon, instantly lay helplessly on the floor under the pressure of the aura directed at them by Liliana.

There was no longer a trace of the intimidation they had displayed earlier; only horror was evident on each of their faces, hidden beneath their cloaks.

"Don't you obey my orders?" Liliana asked again, her tone indifferent yet dripping with murderous intent, instilling fear in all ten of them.

"No, Your Majesty the Demon Emperor! We, as the shadow squad, will never disobey your orders! Please forgive our previous mistakes for daring to question your commands." The shadow squad leader's voice trembled with fear.

To be honest, when Liliana issued her order, he and his subordinates heard it clearly.

However, the order was difficult to digest, inevitably leading to questioning.

Questioning her orders, however, proved fatal—a grave error. As Liliana's personal squad and subordinates, unquestioning obedience was paramount.

Upon hearing his words, Liliana maintained her cold expression as she swiftly retracted the powerful aura that had been suppressing them.

"Hah~ Hah~" As Liliana withdrew her aura, the ten of them immediately breathed sighs of relief and bowed their heads respectfully.

"Thank you for your gracious forgiveness, Your Majesty the Demon Emperor," they murmured, their tones still trembling with residual fear.

One could easily envision the fear induced by the pressure of Liliana's aura weighing down on them.

Liliana simply nodded and turned towards the bed where Leon lay sleeping. With nonchalance, she remarked, "I forgive you this time, but remember, there won't be a next."

"Yes, Your Majesty the Demon Emperor!" The ten of them chorused, then promptly scrambled to tidy up the entire room.

Liliana disregarded them, taking a seat on the edge of the bed, her gaze tenderly fixed on the sleeping Leon.

The cold, indifferent mask on her face melted away into one of gentle affection as she observed him.

With tenderness, she stroked Leon's cheeks, a soft smile gracing her lips each time she gently pinched him.

After twenty minutes of combined effort from the shadow squad, Leon's room, previously cluttered and marked with black stains on the walls and furniture, swiftly regained its original cleanliness.

"Your Majesty, the Demon Emperor, we've completed the cleaning," the shadow squad leader announced, bowing his head respectfully. Behind him, the other nine shadowy figures mirrored the gesture with equal respect.

Liliana's gentle expression instantly vanished upon hearing his words, replaced by a discerning gaze that confirmed the surroundings had indeed been restored to normalcy.

After confirming that the surroundings were restored to their previous state, Liliana's expression softened slightly as she regarded the shadow squad with appreciation.

"Well, thank you for your hard work. You may return," she said with a slight nod and a gentler tone.

"Yes, Demon Emperor!" They replied respectfully before swiftly vanishing from sight.

Observing their departure, Liliana sighed softly and turned her gaze back to Leon, her expression a blend of helplessness and gentle warmth.

"I'll wait for you to wake up..."
