As a villain, he could do whatever he wanted.

The moment they parted, Leon and Lius leaned back simultaneously, a strand of saliva escaping between their lips, a rising steam swirling between their teeth, condensing into a hazy mist in the cold night, further deepening the profound atmosphere around them.

"Huh...huh..."

With rapid breathing, Leon sat back down in the chair next to him, his face still flushed, and the traces of saliva still visible at the corners of his mouth, clearly a testament to the intimate moment he had shared with the boy.

Leon's breathing was still rapid, his chest heaving with each breath, his cheeks flushed, his silver hair slightly disheveled and plastered to his forehead, his legs trembling slightly, as if he had not yet fully recovered from the passion just now, and there was still a trace of glistening saliva at the corner of his mouth, making him look particularly alluring.

"what……"

She raised her hand and gently wiped the corner of her mouth. As her fingertips touched the moisture on her lips, a satisfied smile flashed in the eyes of the silver-haired female general, as if she were savoring the intimate moment she had just shared with Lius.

"It was truly...an unforgettable experience..."

After adjusting his breathing, Leon regained his usual calm demeanor, gently extending his pink tongue to lick back the residue from the corners of his mouth. He savored it carefully, finally nodding slightly in satisfaction and letting out a soft sigh:

"So this is what Master's scent is like... During the competition, I smelled the blood on you, Master, and I thought your saliva would taste similar, but I never expected... it to be so sweet, like a clear spring in the mountains, so intoxicating..."

"Is that how she describes me...? I usually use similar words to describe other girls, but I never expected that a girl would describe me like that today... It's quite a rare experience."

Hearing Leon's assessment of him, Lius also showed a helpless smile and muttered a self-deprecating remark.

"But now, I also have to give my opinion on you, Ms. Leon. When we kissed just now, your movements were a bit too exaggerated, and the force... needed to be reduced a little. Look, my lips are a bit red from the kiss, and I almost thought you were going to bite my lips off too, haha."

As he spoke, Lius touched his swollen lower lip and wiped away some teeth marks and bloodstains with his fingertips—marks left by Leon's uncontrolled fangs, enough to show the powerful actions of the silver-haired female general just now.

"Huh? Is it really that exaggerated? I wasn't paying attention just now, but were the things he was doing with his mouth... really that rude?"

Listening to Lius's words and following the direction of his lips, Leon blinked in surprise and asked Lius again.

Leon's voice sounded uneasy, clearly indicating some remorse for his actions. The faint trace of blood at the corner of Lius's mouth made Leon feel awkward, unsure of how to make amends to the blond boy.

Seeing this, Lius smiled gently, patted Leon's shoulder, and spoke softly and encouragingly, as if cheering Leon up, as he gently comforted the silver-haired female general:

"Of course that's how it is, haha. But that's actually not bad. It shows that you, Ms. Leon, have a basic understanding of and desire for love. That's great, a good start. Keep up the good work, and I believe that one day I will be in a perfect state to have a satisfying love affair with you, Ms. Leon. I'm really looking forward to that day."

Sitting next to Leon, Lius spoke while raising his teacup, taking a sip of the cooled black tea on the table beside him, and smiling as he reminisced about the passionate kiss he had just shared with Leon.

The more Lius recalled his intimacy with Leon, the more excited he felt from the depths of his heart, as if a warm, comforting sensation was spreading across his lips. He couldn't help but drink the tea in his cup in one gulp, pouring his longing for Leon into it, making him an inseparable part of himself forever.

"Ha...it really is addictive..."

Meanwhile, Leon, upon hearing Lius's "desire" for her, blushed slightly. After licking her lips, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, nodding vigorously at Lius with a challenging look in her eyes.

"I understand, Master. I will prepare well for you and fulfill all your expectations of me in this 'challenge,' especially in the area of ​​'love.' I will continue to study hard until the day I defeat you. Please believe me, Master."

"Um... I told you not to be so formal. Also, you don't need to call me Master anymore. Just call me by my name like before."

"Shouldn't we call him 'Master'? Is this your intention?" Leon asked, somewhat surprised.

"After all, we're lovers now, so there's no need for us to be so reserved and unfamiliar. I also really like it when you call me by my name, Ms. Leon. It sounds very reassuring and is my favorite way to address you. Don't overthink it, just call me that."

Looking at Leon, Leus gave him a warm and trusting smile. Leon swallowed slightly and then nodded to Leus with a serious expression.

"If that's the case... then from now on, Master, please call me Leon too. There's no need for so many honorifics. Just like you said, there shouldn't be so much distance and unfamiliarity between lovers. Please call me that, okay?"

"Of course, my dearest lover, Leon."

With a knowing smile, Leus gently reached out his hand, and their hands met as Leon reached out his. In the gentle night breeze blowing in from the window, they leaned on each other's shoulders, savoring the intoxicating atmosphere, and gradually lay down on the bed beside them, embracing each other and drifting into a brief slumber…

--------

When the two woke up the next day, it was almost sunrise.

"Phew... Is it already the second day...?"

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Leus yawned and looked towards the room where Lia was. He gently pushed open the door and found that she was still sleeping there.

It seems that she had expended a lot of energy in the previous battle. Although the girl tried her best to endure and persevere, she was still unable to recover her strength so quickly. Therefore, she needed a long period of sleep to allow her body and mind to fully recover.

Leus and Leon didn't interfere too much. After gently closing the door again, they returned to the study outside, made themselves a cup of coffee, and discussed the matter of cultists while drinking it.

"So, Leon, what are your thoughts? How do you intend to deal with those cultists?" Leus asked with a serious expression, taking a sip of coffee.

"Hmm... To deal with cultists, we must be well prepared. The Northern Territory is always in a state of war, making it the best place to investigate. I have already contacted a group of trusted teams by carrier pigeon to search within the kingdom. I believe they will soon be able to find the traces of those cultists."

"is that so……"

Looking at the serious-looking female general, Lius felt that she had returned to her former strong demeanor. Her tone and temperament were unapproachable, and her words gave people a sense of trust. It could be said that she demonstrated her ample experience and outstanding authority in every aspect.

However, for Leon, he was more interested in investigating something else than being attracted by Leon's charisma.

"Ms. Leon..."

As he faced the silver-haired female general, a thought arose in Lius's mind, and he engaged in a mental storm that only he could perceive.

"At this moment, Leon trusts me completely. Perhaps we can use a more radical approach to see how she reacts. Yes, we'll use that approach..."

With this thought in mind, Leus looked at the silver-haired woman before him again, secretly composed himself, and finally, with a serious expression, spoke softly to Leon:

"Ms. Leon...would you believe that there is a traitor among our nobles who has connections with cultists?"

"Hmm? A traitor? Among our nobles?"

"Yes, not only among the nobles, but to go further... among our four noble families, one noble has betrayed us and made contact with cultists."

"What! This..."

The sudden words from Leus made Leon blink in surprise, taken aback by his statement...

Chapter 206 The Female General's Service (Part 8)

"Hmm? Lius, you're saying... there's a traitor among us?"

Hearing what Leus had just said, Leon's eyes widened, and he looked at Leus with a shocked and wary gaze. He then took a step closer, his eyes fixed on Leus, and urgently continued speaking to the blond boy:

"Why do you think that, Lius? Have you received some intelligence? Is there any substantial evidence to prove this conclusion to me?"

At this moment, Leon's voice sounded urgent and pressing, his fingers unconsciously gripping the corner of the table, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force. Lius remained silent for a moment, as if considering how to answer Leon's question. After a brief pause, he finally answered, slowly saying:

"This is just my deduction, Ms. Leon. After all, the traces of cultists cannot simply disappear into thin air, and those who can do so must possess sufficient power and means..."

"So, you already have sufficient evidence?" Leon leaned closer, fixing his gaze on Lius's face.

"Actually, I can't say for sure yet. I've just summarized some information I've obtained before. After all, the cultists' traces are so obvious, yet we've only just officially noticed their activities. In other words, someone must have suppressed the information to prevent others from finding out."

As Lius spoke, he observed the silver-haired female general in front of him, subtly scanning her face with his eyes, carefully watching every subtle change in her expression, looking for any possible flaws in her demeanor.

"Therefore, I deduce that there must be someone in the kingdom who is their accomplice, or at least has a cooperative relationship with them, in order to conceal the whereabouts of these cultists. And to do this... only the four noble families in our kingdom could do it."

After recounting his previous deductions to Leon, Lius showed her a sense of trust, seemingly making no attempt to hide his true feelings.

This softened Leon's gaze towards Lius, and after a moment's thought, he nodded slightly to Lius.

“Lius, I have also thought about what you just said, and I have considered the possibility that there may be spies among us.”

"Oh? So, Ms. Leon, you have the same idea? What are your plans? Who do you think might be a traitor among us?" Leus took another step closer to the silver-haired female general and asked her earnestly.

"Well... if we just rely on personal impressions and some informal inferences to make a summary, I'm afraid we won't be able to reveal the truth of the matter."

Facing Lius's gaze, Leon shook his head slightly, looking somewhat helpless, his tone revealing an undeniable distress:

"After all, it is irresponsible to assume that others are criminals without any reason, both for us and for those who are suspected. Such accusations are far too serious, and without substantial evidence, they may cause unnecessary disputes. Therefore, I do not intend to express my thoughts. Please forgive me, Lius."

"Ms. Leon, is that what you think...?"

Seeing Leon's hesitant tone, Leus blinked, then finally nodded in understanding, softening his tone as he said:

“Ms. Leon, I understand your thoughts. In that case, I will not ask any further questions. However, I would appreciate it if you could investigate and consider the matter of the mole further, preferably in private, as a secret between the two of us.”

“Lius, are you worried about alerting the enemy? ... Perhaps it is true, as you say, that there is a traitor among us, but in the current situation, it will not be easy to find her completely without her noticing.”

"Leon, are you worried that our operation will be discovered?" Lius asked again.

"Yes, if that cult member can conceal the cult members' whereabouts, then she can naturally hide her own whereabouts as well. She may even have some spies around, waiting for someone to investigate her. Perhaps before we discover her, she has already noticed our presence and has hidden and escaped in advance."

As Leon spoke, he couldn't help but stroke the silver-white armor placed on the table next to him.

The heavy armor looked enormous and cumbersome, and together with the massive greatsword, it gave the Northern soldier a heavy and solid image. At least in appearance, it had little to do with covert investigations.

"There's another point... Northern soldiers have long been skilled in frontal combat. Although there are intelligence teams responsible for investigation, most of them are currently operating outside the North and won't be able to return for a while. The troops I can currently mobilize are basically not good at stealth operations."

"Is there really no way to help at all?" Lius asked again.

"I'm sorry, Lius, this is also my own consideration. If our investigation is discovered by them, we will be in a situation where the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, which is very disadvantageous for us. Therefore, the Northern Territory cannot provide much assistance regarding the investigation. I hope you understand, Lius."

As he said this, Leon lowered his head slightly, expressing his deepest apologies to Lius. Lius waved his hand slightly, supporting Leon's shoulders as he leaned down, allowing Leon, who was about to bow, to straighten up again.

"It's alright, Leon. If this is your own plan, then I believe your judgment is correct. Get up, get up, there's no need to be so formal."

"Ah... I'm sorry, Leus. It's gotten a bit out of hand. We're a couple now, so I shouldn't be behaving so formally. I'm sorry, I'll definitely correct it next time." Leon said, swallowing slightly and blushing a little.

“That’s not what I meant… I just wanted to say that Leon, you don’t need to blame yourself so much. Since you can’t do anything in terms of investigation, then play your part on the front lines. I believe that with your training of soldiers, Leon, no matter what kind of offensive we face, we will eventually achieve victory. At least I don’t need to worry too much about that.”

Patting Leon on the shoulder and gazing into her dark eyes, Leus comforted her while also giving her a look of trust.

"As for matters related to the mole, I will consider them carefully later. Until then, please do not reveal any of these matters, Leon. When action is needed, I will contact you again, and we can deal with the crisis together. Is that alright?"

“Of course… Thank you so much for comforting me, Leon…” Leon nodded slightly, then seemed to realize something and quickly added, “Ah, sorry, did I just act a little too serious again? Did that seem a bit boring…”

"Haha, it's okay. This is just your personality, Leon. If this makes you feel comfortable, then just keep going. Don't worry too much about my feelings. Don't worry, I'm not as sensitive as you think."

Leus patted Leon's shoulder again, giving her a tender smile. He then gently smoothed Leon's slightly messy hair, revealing her delicate features.

"Gu..."

Leon swallowed hard at the ambiguous gesture, repeatedly pondering Lius's words to her. She felt that inexplicable yet intensely sticky emotion welling up inside her again, making the silver-haired female general, who had been single for many years, beat her heart faster and faster.

“Lius…”

With his heart pounding, Leon pursed his lips, seemingly deep in thought. After a moment's hesitation, he finally spoke again to the blond boy before him:

"Lius, I have a question I'd like to ask you, could you please answer it...?"

"Oh? You have a question? Then Leon, just ask. Is there anything you're hesitating about? This isn't like you at all, Leon," Leus teased with a smile.

"Well... well, anyway... why are you telling me all this? Why are you revealing information about those traitors to me?"

“Because I wanted to ask you for help. What’s wrong, Leon?” Lius asked in return.

“What I mean is… why did you decide to tell me all this, Lius? Based on our previous reasoning, I am one of the four great noble families, and there is a possibility that I am a traitor. Why would you so openly tell me this information? Why do you seem to trust me so much…”

"Well..."

Although I really wanted to say things like "I was just trying to trick you" or "I wanted to see if I could find any flaws you might reveal," judging from the way Leon had just acted, he certainly didn't seem like someone who would betray me.

Neither her words nor her expressions revealed anything that warranted vigilance. She was also very sincere in her response to Lius's words, just like Aurora had been before, offering Lius the most genuine feelings from the bottom of her heart.

After some thought, Lius finally came up with an idea.

"Because I like you, Leon, and I like everything that belongs to you. Is that a valid reason?"

Looking towards Leon, and under Leon's somewhat shy gaze, Lius spoke these words, his eyes revealing a deep affection for the silver-haired beauty before him...

Chapter 207 The Female General's Service (Part 9)

"Because I like you, Leon, and I like everything that belongs to you. Is that a valid reason?"

A look of deep affection appeared on Leon's face as Leus gently took her soft, delicate hand and uttered those words. Then, under Leon's slightly shy gaze, he continued with equal emotion:

“I have always believed in you, Ms. Leon, and believed that you would not betray me. After all, in order to keep the promise you made to me, you were even willing to become my ‘slave’ and call me ‘master’. Since you were willing to do such a thing, I also believed that you would not betray us in any way.”

"Is...is that so..."

"Furthermore, besides trusting your character, Leon, I also personally don't want to believe you would betray us."

“Personal…preference?” Leon blinked.

"Yes, or rather... based on my feelings for you, Leon, I don't want to believe you would betray us."

Gently embracing Leon's slender waist, Lius deepened his tone, his handsome smile fully revealed to Leon in the first rays of sunlight streaming through the window, constantly assaulting the young woman's defenses.

“I have a deep affection for you, Leon, and I believe you feel the same way about me. Therefore, I do not wish to see the day when you become my enemy.”

“Lius…”

"I am telling you these things today because I have absolute trust in you, Ms. Leon. I have always believed in you and have always regarded you as the lover I can spend my life with. So... please believe in my feelings as well."

"..."

Hearing Lius's words, Leon's heart raced briefly before he composed himself, his expression shifting from bewilderment to his usual serious and earnest demeanor. However, this time, as he faced Lius, his expression was more tender and gratified towards the blond boy than his usual solemnity.
