The villainous prince who bullied Feng Aotian was actually myself.

Although he probably never imagined that this false affection would eventually become real.

"is it?"

Philippa smiled wryly.

"Yes, I know him."

Helena said, "So, if you're willing to save Leon, then I can back out."

"quit?"

“Yes, you will stay by Leon’s side and be his wife. I will not disturb your lives. I will leave Guberlan or the Fchester Empire and live somewhere else.”

Helena smiled with relief.

"leave?"

Philippa said, "Are you quitting?"

"What, are you willing to share Leon, whom you traded half your life for, with me?"

Helena sneered.

"This—I really don't want to."

After a moment of hesitation, Philippa said, "If I were to trade my life for his, and he were to live happily with another woman besides me, I don't think I could accept that."

"Yes, so I will leave."

Helena said.

Are you really willing to leave?

"Yes……"

"So, you're willing to let him be happy with another woman?"

"Yes, as long as he's happy."

Helena gave a wry smile.

"..."

Philippa fell silent.

Chapter Thirty: Another Battleground Unfolds

It is not too late.

Kassalin went to gather the remaining forces stationed in Moonlight City to exonerate Kassalin. Philippa, on the other hand, rushed back to Guberlan with Helena.

At this moment, the city of Guberlan was in ruins, with signs of destruction left behind by the angels' divine battle.

Countless civilians died violently in the streets.

Imperial soldiers were cleaning up the ruins and corpses, and calming the panicked civilians.

Because some ordinary people witnessed the mythical objects, many of them have become mentally unstable and insane, which is much more difficult to deal with than those who died suddenly.

Helena and Philippa walked towards the Black Castle, the residence of the royal family. Guarding the entrance to the Black Castle were members of the Empire's strongest Royal Knights, as well as the Empire's three heroes—Hawkeye.

Since I know someone there, it saves me a lot of trouble.

Helena and Philippa went straight to the entrance of Blackburg.

“Miss Evelyn, Your Highness… His Highness Cooper.”

Hawkeye stepped forward and bowed. He had intended to address her as Princess Philippa, but after considering Helena's relationship with Leon and her current strength, he immediately changed his address.

Regardless of which side he's on, Hawkeye is ultimately just someone who works for the imperial family, and he doesn't want to offend either of them.

"We want to see Leon."

Helena got straight to the point.

"Alright, please follow me."

Hawkeye readily agreed and then led Helena and Philippa into the palace.

They found Leon very quickly.

Leon was currently in the royal palace, discussing with Leon, Seth, Evri, and Erik how to stabilize the empire and resolve the conflicts with the dragons and orcs.

Lilita, on the other hand, sat alone on the steps outside the royal palace, idly playing with a yellow agate stone often used by fortune tellers.

As Hawkeye, Helena, and Philippa approached, the previously dull yellow agate suddenly emitted a bright light.

Lilita looked up at Helena and Philippa.

"Greetings, two beautiful ladies and Your Excellency Bloomfield."

Lilita stood up and greeted them with a smile.

"Hello."

Helena and Hawkeye gave the same signal.

“Your Highness Cooper, she is Lilita, a student of the Wolong Avery, and is a young fortune teller.”

Hawkeye explained to Philippa.

"Hello."

Upon hearing this, Philippa smiled at Lilita.

“Mr. Leon is inside.”

Lilita stood smiling at the edge of the steps, as if she had known all along that Helena and Philippa would come looking for Leon.

Although Philippa was somewhat curious about this mysterious little girl, she understood that saving Leon's life was the most important thing right now, so she didn't say anything more to her and walked straight to the entrance of the royal palace.

The main gate of the royal palace was pushed open.

Leon, Lyon, Seth, and Avery and Eric all looked over at the same time, each with a different expression.

“Your Highness Leon, Miss Evelyn, and His Highness Cooper are looking for you.”

After Hawkeye finished walking, he left without looking back.

He brought Helena and Philippa to the palace without informing Leon first, which broke the rules. But he had no choice; neither the heir of the mysterious Queen Beliss family nor the vampire saintess were people he wanted to offend.

This is His Highness Leon's own emotional debt; let him resolve it himself.

Although he really wanted to stay and watch the show, Hawkeye, based on his years of work experience, felt it was better to make a quick getaway.

"Let's leave it at that for now. Guberlan is in complete chaos right now, so I'll go out and take care of my duties."

Seth was the first to take his leave. He picked up his sword and left.

"Now is not the right time to discuss state affairs, Your Highness Leon. Let's discuss it another day."

Avery also immediately chose to leave.

"Brother, I'll go check out the three marquises first and see what those three old men are up to these days."

Leon grinned wickedly and walked straight out of the palace. Before leaving, he made sure to close the palace door behind him.

At this moment, only Leon, Eric, Helena, and Philippa remained in the hall.

"Why are you closing the door, senior?"

Seeing Leon close the door, Lilita grumbled somewhat discontentedly.

She wanted to see what the commotion was about.

"Junior sister, what's so interesting about several women fighting over a man?"

Leon waved his hand, "Let's go play somewhere else. I grew up in Blackburg, and there are plenty of fun places to visit there."

"But I just want to watch. Don't you think it's interesting? I think I should learn a few phrases."

Lilita said.

"Learn a few words?"

Leon asked, puzzled, "Why are you learning this?"

"What if someone stops hanging out with me and goes to see other girls, but I still want to hang out with him? In that case, I'll inevitably have to argue with that girl. What should I do?"

Lilita replied.

"That's it..."

Leon paused for a moment and then laughed, “That’s impossible, because I’m not like my brother. I’m only interested in academics and my junior sister.”

Lilita's face flushed instantly. "No, I didn't say it was you! You're so narcissistic! How could you say such cheesy things to me? It's so annoying! If you flirt with me again, I'll tell the teacher! You're just like your brother, I'm not talking to you anymore!"

Lilita angrily flicked the wide sleeves of her shrine maiden dress and ran off quickly.

"Huh, this is different from what's written in the book."

Watching Lilita run off into the distance, Leon was somewhat confused. He had read it in a book called "How to Become a Casanova: High-EQ Chatting Skills for Picking Up Girls," which said that girls liked it when guys said cheesy, flirtatious things. But Lilita had said he was being disrespectful to her, which clearly not only failed to flirt but also angered her.

"Forget it, it's better to have no books than to believe everything in them. When it comes to dating, Leon is more experienced. I'll ask him for advice sometime."

Leon didn't want to think about it anymore. He had more important things to do now. With such a huge mess and the emperor dead, he needed to stabilize the situation with the three marquises, who were Caesar's most trusted ministers.

……

Inside the royal palace.

Eric, Helena, and Philippa all looked at Leon.

Leon suddenly had a sense of déjà vu.

In his previous life, during high school, three girls confessed their feelings to him on QQ at the same time. Leon, who was not good at saying no, accepted them all. As a result, the next day, all three girls came to the cafeteria to have dinner with Leon as his girlfriends, and that's how the truth came out.

He was slapped across the face by three girls in public, and in the end, he didn't even get to date any of them. He also earned the bad reputation of being a playboy and a scumbag, which made other girls hesitant to approach him. As a result, despite having a handsome face that doesn't lack partners, he couldn't find a single one.

Therefore, scumbags deserve to die!

From then on, Leon decided to become a devoted and affectionate good man.

But now...

Chapter Thirty-One: Helena Must Be the Empress

"Leon, you don't look like you're about to die?"

Philippa stared at Leon with a puzzled look for a moment, then looked at Helena.

Helena was also puzzled.

"Leon's life now was given to him by me."

Eric stepped forward, exuding an imposing aura.

She knew that Helena and Philippa had spent more time with Leon than she had, and that their relationships were quite close, so she had to make the most of her advantages.

Without her, Leon would be dead by now.

"you?"

Helena looked puzzled, but then nodded slightly as if she had just understood. "So the luck within you has this kind of effect?"

"He ordered you to give it to him? Who are you?"

This was the first time Philippa had met Eric.

"My name is Erico, the princess of the Order of the Dragon Clan."

Eric introduced himself briefly, "You must be the vampire saintess Philippa, right?"

"Yes, and I should also remind you that I am Leon's rightful wife."

Philippa said seriously, "I don't understand how you saved Leon, but it was completely unnecessary, because I have my own way of keeping Leon alive."

"Your method?"

Eric chuckled. "Make Leon a vampire, then gender-swap him into a woman?

"Otherwise, it's okay. Even if you become a girl, I'll still like you."

Philippa looked at Leon and said.
