My Love Debts Are Everywhere!

Chapter 55: The Only Way and Liliana's Jealousy

"As long as the two individuals bound by the Demon Mark do not love each other, this side effect will persist. As for the subsequt effects, they will manifest in five days..."

After Liliana uttered those words, a heavy silce veloped the space betwe them.

Leon, in particular, plunged into deep contemplation about the revelation.

He had no idea that the side effects of Demon Mark would be so terrifying.

Moreover, the condition for the Demon Mark to cease emitting side effects was to fall in love, which Leon found incredibly challging.

'Falling in love? Does that imply Liliana and I are required to develop feelings for each other?' Leon wondered siltly, his brows furrowing slightly.

This matter was quite serious, and moreover, it seemed almost impossible for him and Liliana to develop romantic feelings for each other.

Although the two were not in conflict now, Leon couldn't shake off the underlying tsion betwe their idtities—the Demon Emperor and the Sword Hero.

Throughout the 7,000 years of war betwe the Demon Emperor and the three heroes of mankind, had concluded without widespread destruction on both sides.

Perhaps it's only in this era that the sword hero and the demon emperor could coexist under the same roof, ev raising three daughters together.

Reflecting on this once more, Leon, for the first time, began to doubt whether he was truly a hero or merely someone incidtally acknowledged by the Holy Sword Zith.

'Falling in love, huh?' he murmured softly, stealing a glance at Liliana, who appeared lost in thought as well.

Judging from the slightly crumpled expression on her face, she seemed just as helpless as he was about this matter.

Leon let out a small sigh, and as if he had already made up his mind, his once-confused gold eyes gradually regained their light.

"Liliana Crimson, I believe I have a solution to this." Leon's words broke the silce betwe them, sparking a glimmer of excitemt in Liliana's eyes as her expression gradually brighted.

"Do you truly have a solution to the Demon Mark issue?" Liliana inquired eagerly.

If anyone were to desire the resolution of this issue the most, it would undoubtedly be Liliana herself.

The evts of last night had left her deeply embarrassed and humiliated, causing her to lose her face in front of Leon.

How could a formidable demon emperor like her possibly speak in such a coquettish manner as last night?

Furthermore, with the Demon Mark effect set to return in five days, Liliana couldn't help but feel anxious.

Observing Liliana's excitemt, Leon felt a pang of regret, fearing he might disappoint her with his words.

However, what he was about to suggest was the sole solution to the Demon Mark issue.

With a subtle glance at Liliana, Leon nodded slightly.

"In truth, the only way to resolve the Demon Mark dilemma is for us to guinely fall in love with each other," he declared, instantly veloping the atmosphere in silce once more.

Liliana's excitemt gradually waned, replaced by a furrowed brow.

"Are you—" she began, but Leon swiftly interrupted her.

"List to me first, because I'm not done speaking," he said, adopting a serious expression.

"I need to ask you something. Do you desire to evade the side effects of the Demon Mark?" Leon's tone carried a subtle sse of urgcy.

Meeting Leon's gaze, Liliana nodded firmly. "Absolutely, I am determined to overcome the side effects of the Demon Mark," she affirmed with resolve.

Leon smiled at her words and continued, "Th, falling in love is the only solution to this problem. Regardless of any reservations you may have, it remains the only viable option. Consider it carefully."

Leon paused his words and reclined in his chair, leaving the decision to Liliana.

Despite his own uncertainty about this method, there seemed to be no alternative to eliminating the side effects of the Demon Mark.

Rather than allowing themselves to be continuously influced by the Demon Mark, wouldn't it be preferable to address the issue, ev if the solution involves "falling in love," a path that seems unsuitable for the two of them?

Liliana remained silt as she listed to Leon's reasonable explanation, unable to argue against it.

However, the idea of 'falling in love' was something she had never imagined before, especially with Leon.

Ev though they already had three daughters, it was crucial to remember that their existce was the result of an uninttional incidt.

As Liliana closed her eyes in contemplation, Leon patitly awaited her decision.

He somehow felt that Liliana would likely agree to his suggestion.

After all, for a proud Demon Emperor like Liliana, the incidt involving her change of attitude last night was profoundly embarrassing and certainly not something she would want to repeat.

Sure ough, after pondering for a while, Liliana slowly oped her eyes, determination evidt in her gaze.

"Well, I agree with this," Liliana said with certainty, th continued, "It's just that I'm very unfamiliar with the concept of love betwe a man and a woman."

As the first female Demon Emperor, Liliana was indeed very unfamiliar with romantic love betwe m and wom.

One could ev say she was an idiot in matters of the heart.

Leon chuckled at her admission and gave Liliana an amused glance.

"Don't worry about that. I'll guide you and teach you because I have plty of experice in this area," Leon said confidtly, patting his chest as if to assure her.

Upon hearing this, Liliana raised an eyebrow and gave Leon a sharp look.

"Oh? Do you have much experice with this?" Her tone turned cold instantly, sding shivers down Leon's spine.

His gaze shifted to Liliana, who had suddly become angry for no appart reason, leaving him confused.

'Ha? Why is this woman suddly angry?' Leon was a little perplexed, th he suddly realized something that surprised him.

'No... By any chance, is this woman jealous!?' Leon exclaimed in disbelief, feeling the unmistakable sct of jealousy in the air, which only strgthed his suspicion.

Ssing Leon's bewildered gaze, Liliana narrowed her eyes at him.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?" Liliana's indiffert voice snapped Leon out of his reverie.

"Ahem! It's nothing serious. Just a humorous thought that crossed my mind," Leon chuckled, shaking his head. Th, an idea sparked, and he continued, "Or perhaps you'd like to hear it?" with a mischievous smile.

Liliana glanced at him suspiciously, especially finding his smile irritating.

"If you have something to say, say it," Liliana said impatitly.

For some reason, her mood suddly soured upon hearing Leon's mtion of 'experice' earlier.

Observing Liliana's growing irritation, Leon's smile wided rather than faltered.

With his chin resting on his palm, Leon teased, "Liliana Crim—no, Liliana... Are you feeling a tad bit jealous?"
