Chapitre 12: Choice, Determination, and Responsibility!

"What are you saying!? Since when did I have a husband!? You foul man! They're your children, you bastard!"

Liliana gritted her teeth with resentment and spoke in a cold tone.

She couldn't fathom why this man failed to grasp the clues she had painstakingly provided during a lengthy explanation.

Would she be so imprudent as to entrust the care of her three little daughters to a stranger, particularly one who was her eternal enemy?

Despite her three little daughters being the result of an unintended union with Leon, her love for them was profound, and there was no conceivable scenario in which she would relinquish them to a stranger.

On the other hand, upon hearing this revelation, Leon was momentarily dumbfounded before regaining his senses.

"What?! You're saying they're my biological daughters!?" He exclaimed in disbelief, feeling as if his heart was about to be ripped out of his chest.

Had Liliana not been a woman he knew for her lack of humor and the stiff demeanor of dead wood, even if a god descended to proclaim this truth, he would remain unbelieving to the point of death.

Having a child? Moreover, there are three, and they're all girls?

Damn it! Not once in his entire life had he entertained the thought that something like this would happen to him!

Observing Leon, who appeared utterly shocked, Liliana rolled her eyes lazily.

"Your reaction is painfully slow. I explained at length and dropped hints, but you didn't grasp any of it? Are you truly that obtuse?" Liliana sneered irritably; each word hit sharply like a knife, as if venting all her pent-up frustration on Leon.

Somehow, after uttering these words, her heart felt a sense of relief, and an unnoticed, faint smile played on her lips.

Upon hearing her disparaging words, Leon fell into complete silence, his mouth corners twitching involuntarily.

He never expected that one day he would be labeled a fool, let alone by his own enemy.

After all, how could he have foreseen that he would eventually have three little daughters with Liliana, a demon emperor?

The idea of offspring between the Human Race and the Demon Race would be met with scoffs and insults if this news were to spread, as such a possibility was deemed impossible.

Throughout the 7,000 years of conflict between the two races, not a single piece of literature or book has ever suggested that humans and demons can have offspring together.

Even if such documentation existed, the probability is so minuscule that it would be smaller than an atom.

The 7,000 years of deep-seated hatred make it a remarkable achievement for the two races to meet without resorting to violence.

After pondering for a while, Leon gradually regained his composure, and clarity returned to his mind.

"Liliana, I want to ask you. Is your pregnancy a result of the incident four years ago?" Though he was already acquainted with the answer, his curiosity compelled him to delve into this matter.

Liliana nodded slightly and responded, "Indeed, it was the incident four years ago that led to my pregnancy upon my return to the Demon race's territory."

Her cold, penetrating gaze sent shivers down Leon's spine, causing him to feel both embarrassment and unease simultaneously.

Who would have anticipated this turn of events, right?

Leon released a small sigh, rubbing his forehead as a headache began to set in.

Today could be described as the most unforeseen day for him.

Firstly, the war he had participated in turned out to be a scheme by the palace to frame him.

Moreover, he had been poisoned before leaving for the war, causing him to be in a state no better than that of a dying man.

Subsequently, the woman he had attacked four years ago turned out to be Liliana, the Demon Emperor, his eternal and fated enemy.

And now, it appears that he had three daughters without realizing it for the past four years.

Damn! Are the gods playing tricks on him? Or did they throw him into this world just to torment him?

For the first time in his 22 years of existence in this world, Leon began to question his life.

Even with a resilient mind honed over the years, he finds himself grappling with an intense headache now.

Nevertheless, he acknowledged that regardless of circumstances, the fault lay with him, and his three daughters were entirely innocent.

His face gradually brightened, and he gave a small nod, as if he had already made up his mind.

"Very well, Liliana Crimson. I'll take responsibility for caring for them because, as their father, it's only natural for me to do so, right?" A joyful smile adorned his lips as he expressed this with enthusiasm.

He could imagine the beauty and cuteness his three little girls might possess.

Would his daughters inherit the perfect face of their father, or would they carry the frozen visage of an ice-like statue, resembling their mother?

There were three of them, undoubtedly confirming their status as triplets!

'(Damn! Is this what being a father feels like? It's so cool!)' Leon exclaimed inwardly, and the joy of having triplet daughters made his heart skip a beat.

Observing his abrupt change in demeanor and enthusiasm, Liliana was taken aback, not expecting such a positive response.

Had Leon responded negatively and harbored resentment towards their three daughters, she would not have hesitated to use force against him.

She was aware that, despite concealing their emotions well, her daughters yearned for their father.

Fortunately, Leon did not resemble the bastards on the outside, and his responsible nature earned her appreciation.

'(This guy isn't bad either.)' Liliana muttered to herself, and her demeanor gradually began to soften.

"I didn't expect you to be so excited. Didn't you say that you hate small children?" Despite being impressed by Leon's responsible nature, Liliana couldn't resist teasing him, aiming to embarrass him.

"What did you say? Since when did I say that? You demoness, don't ever insult a responsible man like me!" Leon declared unabashedly, and there wasn't a hint of blush on his face after making this proclamation.

He was, indeed, a responsible and good man, after all!

Liliana was left stunned, not expecting this man to be so shameless after casually uttering a lie like that.

She began to feel a twinge of regret, questioning whether letting this man take care of his three little daughters was the right decision.

However, she swiftly dismissed all these thoughts.

"Humph! I'm too lazy to engage in nonsense with you right now," Liliana sneered, arrogantly waging out her white hair.

"Come with me to meet them, and I'll explain everything to them," she continued, turning around and strolling towards the door.

"Okay!" Leon smiled, unable to contain his excitement, as he eagerly anticipated meeting his three little daughters!

Little girls, get ready—your handsome father is on his way!

However, as he prepared to rise from his bed, a sharp pain seized his head, causing his vision to blur.

*Thud!*

Suddenly, he lost consciousness and fell onto the bed, his face once again turning pale.

Liliana, upon hearing the sound, swiftly turned around, shocked to find Leon collapsing unexpectedly.

Promptly, she hurried to his side, casting healing magic while simultaneously assessing his condition.

"Is the poison's effect beginning to resurface?" Liliana narrowed her eyes, persistently casting healing magic in an attempt to revive Leon.

Regrettably, after a few minutes, Leon remained in a state of complete unconsciousness, prompting Liliana to reluctantly cease her healing magic, her expression contorting into a frown.

"The poison coursing through his body is incredibly potent and malicious. I can't fathom who could concoct such a venom, nor how this man came into contact with it." She massaged her temples, overwhelmed by a deep sense of slight depression.

She had only managed to temporarily suppress the poison earlier, and its effects proved short-lived.

Now, with Leon once again unconscious, the previous method to contain the poison within his body seemed ineffective.

Only one option remained, and it was something she had been reluctant to resort to before.

Yet, observing his current physical state, any further delay could amplify the poison's severity, potentially leading to his demise.

"You bastard man! If it weren't for my promise to my three daughters to find you and bring you back sooner, I wouldn't have made such a sacrifice," Liliana murmured, biting her lip in frustration.

Her face displayed a mix of complexity as she swiftly pressed on the left of Leon's chest.

Instantly, a mysterious black pattern with sun shapes materialized at the spot Liliana had pressed.

"Whoosh!"

The pattern emitted a gradual glow of red light, and suddenly, a moon-shaped pattern manifested in the near cleavage of Liliana's huge breasts, synchronizing with the pattern on Leon's left chest.

Both patterns suddenly linked, and the light between them intensified, growing brighter with each passing moment.

Liliana bit her lower lip, her expression tinged with uncertainty, before ultimately erecting a red-colored barrier around them.

"You'll owe me big for this in the future!" After whispering those words, she unfurled the black dress that enveloped the alluring perfection of her hot and curvaceous body, eventually pressing the unconscious Leon on the bed.
