Chapter 70: The Arrival of Books on Poison from the Outer Palace Library, and Leon's Burning Spirit



In the trees, numerous birds chirped their sweet melodies, signaling the arrival of a bright and peaceful day.

Meanwhile, on the bed, Leon, who had been sound asleep, suddenly felt his breathing constrict, as if his body were being weighed down by something heavy.

Struggling against heavy eyelids, Leon forced his eyes open and was immediately surprised to find Fiona, who had somehow appeared and was sleeping on his stomach like a kitten.

Inevitably, a twitch appeared at the corner of Leon\'s mouth.

"This little girl... can\'t she just sleep normally?" Leon sighed helplessly.

This incident wasn\'t a one-time occurrence; it had happened on previous occasions as well.

He still vividly recalled the first time he slept in this room, waking up the next morning to find Fiona sleeping on his stomach just like this.

"Even so, it brings me joy because, in the end, it shows how much Fiona loves me," Leon said with a gentle smile.

He refrained from moving his body so as not to disturb the sleeping Fiona, simply gazing lovingly at her round, chubby face as she slept.

Instantly, his gaze fell upon her chubby, bun-like cheeks, and subconsciously, he reached out to pinch them.

However, all of a sudden, an excruciating pain shot through his right arm, causing his whole body to crawl.

"Hiss!" Leon inhaled sharply, his eyes widening in response to the pain.

With cold sweat forming on his forehead, he slowly readjusted his arm to its previous position.

\'Damn! The pain from Liliana\'s punch last night is still lingering!\' Leon cursed inwardly as he recalled the events of the last night.

He hadn\'t anticipated that Liliana would actually beat him so viciously and mercilessly!

Had his body not been able to withstand it, he might have found himself playing chess with Hades and King Yama in hell by now!

\'That woman... I thought that after we both confessed our feelings, she would be more gentle with me. But I didn\'t expect her to be so cruel!\' Leon grumbled inwardly, feeling dissatisfied and annoyed.

He felt that Liliana couldn\'t engage in romantic banter and jokes typical of couples!

This realization only reinforced his belief that hiding his strength healing plan from Liliana was the right decision.

When his powers returned, Leon would show her just how dignified the head of the family truly was!

Just imagining it made him subconsciously smile happily.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Lyra, oh, Lyra, I really can\'t wait to meet you. If you were to show up right now with the books on poison already prepared, how happy would I be?" Leon said, sighing and smiling at the imagined possibility.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Leon. I am truly honored and happy to hear your words." Suddenly, a voice sounded beside him, nearly causing Leon to have a heart attack.

With lightning-fast movement, he turned his gaze to the side and found Lyra had somehow suddenly appeared, standing beside his bed.

"L-Lyra!?" Leon was dumbfounded, feeling horrified, as if he had just seen a ghost.

"Good morning, Your Majesty Leon," Lyra greeted, her expression remaining flat as she bowed respectfully.

Still dumbfounded, Leon quickly regained his senses and looked at Lyra in disbelief.

"Good morning—no, hold on! How did you appear out of nowhere? Did you use teleportation magic?" Leon corrected himself, asking in surprise.

He was certain that, upon waking up just now, Lyra hadn\'t been in his room at all.

So how could she suddenly appear out of thin air if not by using teleportation magic?

"Teleportation magic?" Lyra tilted her head in confusion, then shook it slowly as she continued, "I didn\'t use teleportation magic at all, Your Majesty Leon. I was already in your room before you woke up." MVLeMpYr-the-story-platform

"Before I woke up?" Leon raised one eyebrow, asking suspiciously.

"Um! Before you woke up, I just finished preparing breakfast for you on the table," Lyra replied calmly.

She then pointed towards the table near the sofa as she continued, "Look there, I\'ve already prepared it."

Following the direction Lyra pointed, Leon indeed found the meals on the table near the sofa, which immediately prompted him to heave a sigh of relief.

Lyra\'s earlier words were somewhat ambiguous, and given Liliana\'s misunderstanding incident from last night, Leon feared it might happen again.

After all, a jealous Liliana was terrifying, and he, the most handsome sword hero, wasn\'t prepared to endure it with his current chicken-level strength.

Swiftly, Leon snapped out of his reverie and nodded in understanding to Lyra, deciding not to inquire further about the matter.

While he was still taken aback by Lyra\'s sudden appearance, he considered it no longer necessary to discuss.

He then slowly adjusted his position, slightly leaning his head back against the bed\'s backrest, with Fiona still sound asleep on his stomach.

Following this, he gently moved his left arm, which wasn\'t as painful as his right, to caress the head of the sleeping Fiona.

"By the way, Lyra, about the books on poison we discussed last night, did you bring them?" Leon turned his gaze back towards Lyra, his voice tinged with excitement as he asked.

What preoccupied his mind right now was how to regain his power as soon as possible, and Leon was exceedingly ambitious about this.

Upon hearing Leon\'s question, Lyra nodded and replied, "Of course, Your Majesty Leon. I have brought the books from the outer palace library and placed them on your table."

Leon took a deep breath, trying to suppress the happiness that surged within him like a volcano.

"Hufft~" He let out a small breath and cast Lyra a gentle glance. "Thank you very much, Lyra."

"You\'re welcome, Your Majesty Leon. It was just a small task for me," Lyra replied nonchalantly, her tone calm but tinged with a hint of pride.

Leon chuckled at the contrasting nature of Lyra and gave a small nod in response.

His gaze then shifted to Fiona, and a soft smile bloomed on his lips.

"Forgive Daddy for having to move you first," Leon said affectionately as he slowly began to shift Fiona to his side.

Despite the pain that each movement caused him, he didn\'t seem to mind, his expression remaining indifferent as if unaffected by it.

After gently placing Fiona beside him, Leon planted a kiss on her chubby cheeks before finally rising from the bed and making his way to his study table with slightly heavy steps, accompanied by pain in his back and arms.

Observing Leon\'s peculiar gait, Lyra felt a twinge of surprise and confusion.

\'Hm? Why does His Majesty Leon\'s gait look peculiar?\' Lyra blinked her eyes curiously.

However, she didn\'t ask Leon any questions, and she slowly walked after him.

As Leon arrived at his study table, he discovered that all the previous books on poison, which he had finished reading and stacked up, had vanished from their places.

In their stead, three thick books now occupied the center of his table.

Upon seeing this, Leon\'s initial happiness instantly collapsed, replaced by shock.

"What? Only three books!?"
