The villainous prince who bullied Feng Aotian was actually myself.

Leon laughed.

"In that case, we have nothing more to say. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. We will take our leave now."

Lev bowed slightly and then turned and left.

"Humph!"

Bazel snorted and left as well.

Hibbert glanced at Leon, hesitated, and finally followed Lev out.

"Leon and Leon, I don't know how it happened, but now they're completely united like brothers?"

After the three of them left the palace together, Bazel said.

"Leon suddenly confined us, probably because he knew that Naden would come to us to inform us. He wants to prevent us from helping Naden."

Hibbett said.

"Anyway, I didn't plan to help anyone. Oh well, I'll just take these few days off and spend some quality time with my wives at home."

Lev stretched with relief.

"Tsk, you old lecher."

Hibbert and Bazel looked at Lev with disdain.

The three of them walked away one after another.

Not long after the Third Duke left, Avery entered the office. Hawkeye followed Avery in.

Hawkeye looked extremely disheveled and terrifying; he was covered in wounds and bandages, and only had one arm left.

"Your Highness Leon..."

Hawkeye lowered his head in shame, not daring to look at Leon.

Why do you look so lost and dejected?

Leon got up from the sofa and walked over to Hawkeye.

"I'm sorry, I was ambushed by Faceless. He may have transformed into my appearance and infiltrated the military."

Hawkeye said, "I heard that His Majesty Leon sent him to lead the reinforcements from the Duchy of Ariel. He must have told Naden all our battle plans. I am truly sorry... I deserve to die!"

"Don't say that."

Leon laughed, "The war isn't over yet. Your mistake didn't lead to our defeat by Naden, did it?"

Leon reached out and patted Hawkeye on the shoulder. "Leon won't blame you, and I certainly won't blame you either. Lord Bloomfield, I'll be laughing in my sleep tonight that you're back alive."

"Your Highness..."

Hawkeye's gaze toward Leon was filled with guilt.

"For me, the best thing is that you're alive. Alright, go and recover from your injuries."

Leon said, "What a pity, losing an arm. As the strongest hunter, how will you draw your bow and shoot arrows in the future?"

"A prosthetic limb can be installed."

Avery said, "Or you could advance to the Peerless level, which would grant you the ability to regenerate severed limbs. There's another way—that is, Helena's healing."

"Helena's healing..."

Leon thought for a moment, "Let's forget about it. Helena's healing has a lot of side effects on her, and my brother is such a protective husband, he definitely won't allow us to do that."

“Your Highness Leon, I can still draw a bow and shoot an arrow with one hand.”

"Hawkeye said."

"Don't try to be a hero."

Leon said, "Teacher, then I'll trouble you to have a new prosthesis made for Lord Bloomfield."

"That's no problem."

"Sir," Avery said, "let's go."

"Thank you very much, Elder Wolong."

Hawkeye bowed to Avery.

"I'm helping you because of Leon."

"Avery stroked his beard and said."

“Your Highness Leon, Hawkeye will never forget your kindness.”

Hawkeye then bowed deeply to Leon.

"I have no expectation of you repaying any favors. If you really want to repay a debt of gratitude, you just need to assist Leon well."

Leon gave a bitter smile, then sighed, "The Empire's fortunes are about to plummet. If the Battle of Marsh Plains really goes to a fight to the death, the Fchester Empire will probably perish after this battle."

……

Leon ate dinner alone.

Philippa did not appear.

After dinner, Leon waited for a long time under the streetlight outside his residence before finally seeing Philippa return.

"Philippa, you're finally back."

Leon greeted him with a smile, "Today—"

"Alright, stop talking."

Philippa pressed her index finger against Leon's lips.

"I was too emotional. I can't leave the Thorn Forest, and I can't abandon my vampire people. Helena is indeed the most suitable person to accompany you in the future."

Philippa said, "It just so happens that she's the one you love the most too, which is great. Let's leave it at that. From now on, I... I'll try not to care about who you love the most, but you absolutely mustn't abandon me, okay?"

"How could I possibly abandon you? That will never happen."

Leon pulled Philippa into his arms.

"You've been waiting here for a long time, haven't you?"

Philippa obediently hugged Leon.

"Yeah, I thought you were disgusted with me and wouldn't come back tonight to sleep in the same bed with me."

Leon laughed.

"How could that be? Quickly, take your wife back to the room!"

Philippa wrapped her arms around Leon's neck, stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips. Then she jumped up and wrapped her legs around Leon's waist. Leon, in perfect harmony, used the momentum to support Philippa's hips and lifted her up.

"Your body is so warm."

Philia laughed.

"It will be even warmer in a little while."

Leon chuckled.

"Ugh, I used to seduce you like that, and you ignored me. Now you're acting like a slut. Leon, how come you're so different?"

Philippa teased with a mischievous grin.

"Yeah, that's my contrast, what can you do to me!"

Leon lowered his head and forcefully kissed Philippa's luscious red lips, but Philippa buried her face in his arms and dodged away.

“I can make you leave—lying down.”

Philippa's fingers twirled behind Leon's back as she chuckled, hiding in his groin.

"That's true. Sigh, as expected, you're even more amazing, my wife."

Leon laughed.

He carried Philippa all the way back to the room.

He then roughly pushed Philippa onto her pink round bed.

"Hey, can't you be a little more gentlemanly? You're hurting me."

Philippa patted Leon's hand on her shoulder and complained.

"It already hurts? It'll hurt even more later. Is that all? Philippa is such a useless piece of trash."

Leon said with a chuckle.

"Are you trying to get yourself killed? How dare you say such things to this Holy Maiden!"

Philippa said angrily, "I'll squeeze you to death! Don't you just give up in a second and then cry and say, 'My dear wife, please let me go.'"

"Alright, let's see who's begging for mercy."

Leon chuckled.

This time, the battle was extremely fierce.

After a long time,

Philippa begged repeatedly to be spared.

"you lose."

Leon was sweating profusely.

"hateful……"

Philippa was completely limp. "I don't want to move..."

"Then I'll go take a shower first."

Leon was about to get up and get out of bed.

"Wait a minute, lie down with me for a while."

Philippa held onto Leon tightly, unwilling to let go.

"alright."

Leon couldn't refuse Philippa, so he lay down with her. The two of them stared blankly at the ceiling.

"Leon, if we have children in the future, whose surname should they take?"

Philippa suddenly spoke.

"As far as I know, humans and vampires cannot produce offspring. Your vampire clan reproduces by assimilating other creatures?"

"Leon said."

"No, vampire women do have uteruses and can give birth. I was born to my mother and one of her favorite male lovers. However, we almost never choose to reproduce through childbirth. Instead, we directly pass on our bloodline to other races, since childbirth is a painful process. But I want to have a child with you."

Philippa smiled.

"That's it."

Leon asked, "Will the child be born human or a vampire?"

"Vampires".

Philippa said, "Because vampires are an evolution of human blood, any offspring born from intermarriage between a vampire and any other creature will also be vampires. In genetics, this is called a dominant gene?"

"Oh, it's similar to Ni Ge."

Leon seemed to be deep in thought.

What is "Ni Ge"?

Philippa asked curiously.

"Uh...nothing."

Leon changed the subject and compared the Nile to the vampires, which was clearly inappropriate.

"Since our child is a vampire, and human society has always held prejudices against vampires that are difficult to eradicate, he is destined to have some difficulty integrating into human society. So let's leave him in the Thorn Forest and let him take his mother's surname?"

Leon changed the subject.

"Well, it's not impossible, if it's a girl."
