"You... What did you just say? You\'re not joking, are you? I didn\'t hear that wrong, did I?" He inquired hesitantly, wiping the corner of his mouth with a tissue.

Liliana giggled at his adorable, surprised expression and nodded slightly.

"Yes, Leon, you heard me right, and I\'m serious about this," Liliana replied with a faint smile.

Upon hearing this, Leon felt the corner of his mouth twitch before he finally let out a small sigh, looking at Liliana, who still smiled at him.

He really didn\'t understand what she meant by that.

Make him a precautionary measure in case humanity broke through the teleportation portal she wanted to create? Did Liliana intend for him to be the portal\'s gatekeeper?

Leon was completely confused and unable to comprehend what she meant, leaving him shaking his head helplessly.

While picking up a dry biscuit and dipping it into his tea, Leon looked up at Liliana and asked between bites, "Can you explain what you mean by making me a precautionary measure?"

Liliana didn\'t immediately answer his question; instead, she picked up a grape and ate it.

After calmly munching on the grape and swallowing, Liliana looked at Leon with a serene yet gentle gaze as she replied, "What I mean by making you a precautionary measure in case humanity\'s troops breach the teleportation portal is that I want you to assist me in handling any potential threats. With both of us guarding the capital, we can resolve this issue. Now, do you understand my intentions?"

In the midst of her explanation, Leon\'s comprehension dawned, surprised by Liliana\'s strategic foresight.

Reflecting on Liliana\'s plan, Leon recognized its brilliance. Indeed, with both of them safeguarding the capital, they could effectively prevent any attempt by humanity\'s troops to breach the teleportation portal.

After all, his power was currently recovered and back to its peak, though he couldn\'t summon and wield his Holy Sword of Zenith.

However, this matter didn\'t trouble him much, as he still had the Great Sword of Chaos as his weapon for the time being.

Sipping from his teacup, Leon turned to Liliana with a sly smile and posed a question: "I must admit, your plan is ingenious. However, have you considered another aspect? What if, in the worst-case scenario, I decide not to aid you but instead assist humanity\'s troops in destroying the Demon Capital?"

Liliana\'s expression remained unchanged as she heard Leon\'s question, her gaze gentle yet indifferent.

"I didn\'t consider that possibility, because I trust you, Leon," Liliana replied in a soft but firm tone. Her words caused Leon\'s sly smile to vanish instantly, replaced by a gentle one.

"Tsk! With you having such confidence in me, how could I ever betray that trust and contemplate such a nefarious deed against you, Liliana?" Leon chuckled softly, shaking his head.

The thought of betraying Liliana had never even crossed his mind, let alone been acted upon.

After all, Liliana was his woman, and the notion of such a despicable act was repulsive to him.

Furthermore, he had already committed to aiding the Demon race in the war, part of his mission to end the 7,000-year conflict between the Demon race and humanity.

Thus, his earlier words were merely jest, devoid of any genuine intent.

Nevertheless, Liliana\'s unwavering trust deeply touched him, intensifying his love for this beautiful demon emperor even further.

Taking a tissue and leaning slightly towards Liliana, Leon gently wiped the corner of her slightly dirty lips as he inquired, "So, after you decided to create the teleportation portal and asked Lyra to work on it, how long did it take for it to be completed?"

Witnessing Leon\'s attentive gesture, Liliana\'s heart swelled with sweetness, filling her with happiness.

"It\'s estimated that the portal will be finished in about a day or two," Liliana replied gently, surprising Leon instantly.

"A day or two? Isn\'t that remarkably fast?" Leon inquired, straightening his seat and looking at Liliana in astonishment.

Creating a teleportation portal was an immensely challenging task, especially considering the scarcity of basic materials required for its construction.

Moreover, mastery of ancient-level teleportation magic was imperative, further complicating the endeavor.

While Leon didn\'t doubt Lyra\'s or Liliana\'s abilities, he found the notion absurd.

Observing Leon\'s astonished expression, Liliana couldn\'t help but smile, reaching out to affectionately rub his face.

"It\'s fast because I\'ve prearranged all the materials, allowing Lyra to focus solely on gate construction, and as for the ancient-level teleportation magic required for activation, it is a piece of cake for Lyra, given her expertise in space and elemental manipulation magics," Liliana explained in detail, further astounding Leon.

\'Liliana is truly suited to be a ruler and emperor.\' Leon sighed with relief, a slight smile gracing his lips.

Despite Liliana being the first female Demon Emperor in history, her abilities were truly impressive.

"Alright, if that\'s the case, then I\'ll follow your arrangements." Leon nodded slightly.

Initially, he had planned to participate in the battle against humanity\'s forces today.

However, he soon recalled his promise to Fiona that he would never leave her and her two sisters again, prompting him to cancel his plans immediately.

After all, he had just reunited with them, and leaving again would surely cause his three daughters to hate him, a scenario he would not permit.

Additionally, his inability to summon or contact the Holy Sword of Zenith convinced him to wait for Miranda\'s findings before deciding to head to the battlefield.

Coming out of his reverie, Leon suddenly noticed Liliana staring at him with a sharp gaze, immediately confusing him.

"Why are you staring at me like that? Do I have something on my face?" Leon asked curiously, rubbing the side of his face.

Liliana didn\'t immediately respond, continuing to stare at him for a few moments before finally averting her gaze with a slight sigh escaping her lips.

"Leon, are you forgetting something?" Liliana asked indifferently, taking a sip of her tea.

"Forgetting something?" Leon blinked in confusion, unsure of what she meant.

Witnessing his utterly clueless expression, Liliana\'s features instantly transformed into a pout as she placed her teacup back onto its saucer.

"What I mean is the incident last night, Leon," Liliana stated directly before continuing, "Didn\'t you say you wanted to tell me everything about the purplish-black power you emitted and about the mysterious black sword you summoned back then to me today?"

Upon hearing this, Leon\'s eyes widened slightly, and he tapped his forehead with an embarrassed expression.

Last night, Liliana requested an explanation about the Great Sword of Chaos and the power of chaos. However, feeling fatigued at the time, he promised to provide the explanation the following day, which was today.

Unfortunately, due to the issue with the Holy Sword of Zenith, he had completely forgotten about it, causing him to feel somewhat guilty toward Liliana.

"Ahem! I completely forgot, Liliana. I\'m sorry," Leon apologized with a slight cough.

Liliana shook her head, her expression gradually softening as she replied, "It\'s okay, I\'m not angry."

Leon sighed softly as he picked up a grape and savored its sweetness, contemplating for a moment before finally turning his gaze back towards Liliana.

"Alright, I\'ll tell you about it," Leon remarked in a light tone before his expression gradually turned serious. "However, the matter is a bit heavy and unbelievable, but believe me, I won\'t lie to you, and everything I\'m about to say is the truth."

Liliana was taken aback by Leon\'s serious expression, but she quickly nodded.

"Of course, Leon. I\'ll believe whatever you have to say," Liliana responded firmly, eliciting a smile from Leon.

With a slight nod, Leon took another sip of his tea and began, "Alright, please listen..."
