As a villain, he could do whatever he wanted.

"Thank you for your trust... Leus, I'm truly grateful. With your trust, I can proceed with the next steps with greater peace of mind. Also..."

Leon gently grasped Lius's right hand, then stretched it upwards, pressing Lius's palm against his chest, exposing his most vulnerable spot to demonstrate his trust in him.

"Furthermore, I also trust you, Prince Lius. Whatever orders you may receive, I will carry them out diligently. I will protect you as a general and offer you my strongest blessings as a lover. Please accept my heartfelt wishes, Prince Lius."

As he said this, Leon continued to press his hand against his heartbeat, completely disregarding the difference between men and women, and a knowing smile appeared on his lips, allowing Lius to fully feel his "feelings" for him.

It must be said that... judging from the feel of this "heartfelt gesture," it certainly left a strong impression on Lius.

Leon's figure was usually covered by tight clothes and heavy silver-white armor. Even if you could see the graceful figure of this silver-haired female general, it was still difficult to actually feel the allure and beauty of it.

Only now, after being actively pulled and guided by Leon to experience it, did Leus finally have a more direct feeling about the figure of this silver-haired beauty.

"This feeling... it's not just full, it's downright lewd... even though it's wrapped in a tight-fitting outfit, there's still a swamp-like sensation inside, like you're about to sink in when you touch it... it looks like it's been compressed quite a bit..."

Thinking this through, Lius turned to face Leon again, and said hesitantly:

"Leon, um... I also have a question for you. How does this bodysuit you're wearing feel? Does it restrict your movements?"

"Hmm? Restrictions?" Leon blinked slightly, then answered thoughtfully, "There aren't many restrictions. After all, this outfit was specially made for me to maximize my strength, so it makes some changes to my body shape to adapt to the various actions I take in battle."

"What exactly do you mean by making changes to your body shape?"

"It simply shrinks my chest a bit. If my chest were too big normally, not only would it restrict my movement, but it would also increase my vulnerable area, which would have many adverse effects during combat. So, this bodysuit has compressed and reduced it a bit."

"Reduce... exactly by how much?"

Lius stepped closer and asked, while Leon looked thoughtful, looked down at his own body, and finally placed his hands on his chest, gently stretching his arms forward until they formed a circle, thus gesturing to Lius to show him his original size.

"It's probably... this big."

"Is...this size?"

Seeing Leon's gesture, Leus blinked in surprise.

Because he realized that, if Leon was right, the figure that this silver-haired beauty could show after taking off her bodysuit... was even more voluptuous than that of Anne-Dina and the others.

Although for Lius, he did not think that the bigger the chest, the better, otherwise it would appear somewhat deformed and too prominent, causing the beauty of a young woman to be lost.

However, the size that Leon revealed at this moment could be said to be just right. With its extreme fullness, it reached the maximum state that Leus could accept. It could be said that it enhanced his attraction in this regard to the extreme, and made him swallow hard, fantasizing about the scene of Leon taking off his armor in front of him and fully revealing his body.

Meanwhile, after gesturing to Lius, Leon seemed oblivious to how much her figure aroused men. She merely frowned, touched her chest, and said with a troubled expression:

"Although there are no restrictions, maintaining this suppressed state for so long can still make you feel suffocated. It won't affect your combat ability, but it's still a bit uncomfortable... Should I try to find a way to help my chest contract later...?"

"No need! I don't think so. I'll think of a way to design a combat suit for you, Leon, that doesn't require suppressing your figure and allows for flexible movement. You don't need to make any changes to your own body shape, otherwise you won't have the original beauty."

"Huh? Is... like this?"

Hearing Lius's excited and somewhat agitated words, Leon blinked in surprise, seemingly taken aback by Lius's reaction, and then nodded hesitantly.

"Although I don't quite understand, if this is what you think, Lius, then I understand... In short, my trust in you, Lius, will never be shaken. I am willing to offer my loyalty to you as a knight and a lover, just as I would to my lord."

With that, Leon picked up the greatsword beside him, placed it on the floor in front of him, held the hilt with one hand, and gently knelt down, imitating the etiquette of a knight receiving his medal. He knelt before Leus in a one-knee position, offering him the most sincere promise from the depths of his heart.

"I will always protect you and never let you get hurt, Lius. Please accept my blessing."

"Well, since it's my favorite lady Leon's blessing, I'll naturally accept it. Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself and not let myself get hurt. Don't worry."

As he spoke, Leus gently stroked Leon's hair, giving him a reassuring smile. Leon immediately leaned in and hugged the blond boy tightly, feeling the tender care of his lover amidst their fluctuating emotions...

Chapter 208 Comforting the Elders

The time spent with Leon lasted for some time, and when the two finally parted ways, about half an hour had passed.

"Huh...huh..."

Looking into the room, Lia was still fast asleep on the bed. Lius did not disturb the exhausted girl in any way, but simply asked Leon to take good care of Lia before leaving the room and parting ways with Leon for the time being.

"Then, I'll leave Leah in your care for now, Ms. Leon. I have other things to attend to, so I won't keep you company any longer. We can continue our discussion about the cultists after I've finished dealing with those matters."

"Yes, go ahead, Lius. Don't worry, I'll have Miss Lia come to you once she wakes up."

As he said this, a deep affection appeared in Leon's eyes, and he seemed somewhat reluctant to leave, but he still waved goodbye to Lius.

"If you need anything else, please feel free to come and find me anytime. Whether it's a duel or a strategic plan, I'm happy to accompany you."

"Yes, it's a promise. See you later, Ms. Leon."

And so, after saying goodbye, Lius left Leon's room and walked briskly down the palace corridors back to his own room.

"I should go check on Ms. Irina. I wonder if she's awake or not. I hope everything is alright."

As he pondered this, Lius quickened his pace, ignoring the guards who greeted him as they passed by. He jogged to his room, knocked on the door, and entered.

"Ms. Irina, are you awake?"

With a soft whisper, as soon as he entered the room, Leus looked toward the bed, trying to find the figure of the gray-haired nun.

"Ok?"

Just as he shifted his gaze to the bed, Lius blinked slightly, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes, as if he was somewhat surprised by what he had witnessed.

At this moment, Irina was sitting cross-legged on the bed, near the edge of the bed.

Her hands rested on her knees, her body motionless and silent, as if time had stopped, as she sat quietly on Leus's bed.

"..."

Bathed in sunlight, Irina's beautiful face appeared serene and dignified, her closed eyelids giving her a noble and flawless air, completely unlike the priestess who had trembled with fear among the cultists earlier, presenting a striking difference.

"Um...Ms. Irina, are you alright?"

Seeing Irina's current demeanor, Lius frowned slightly and tentatively asked her a question.

Upon hearing this, Irina gently opened her eyes, exhaled, and looked at Lius with a calm gaze.

“Lius…”

Irina spoke slightly, her face expressionless, but Lius could sense that she had completely regained her composure, almost as if it were the first time they met. This surprised Lius, but also gave rise to a deep-seated doubt about Irina.

"Ms. Irina, have you adjusted your mindset?" Lius asked.

"Yes, phew... I'm sorry I couldn't help you, Lius, when we were there. I'm really sorry. After a night's rest, I'm... fully recovered now."

With a slightly shy blush, Irina said this, seemingly ashamed of her earlier fluster. Lius nodded slightly, leaned closer to Irina, and comforted her:

"It's alright, Ms. Irina, you don't need to be so upset. I was also very nervous when I was in the cult, but I just kept a calm facade. And Ms. Irina, you also encouraged me a lot in private, which was a great comfort to me. If it weren't for you, I might have given up hope from the very beginning."

In a joking tone, Leus said this to Irina, who couldn't help but laugh at his teasing. Then, she slowly exhaled and hesitantly spoke to Leus:

"Even so, I am still disappointed with my previous incompetence. My goal was to become a qualified bishop, but when faced with those cultists... I performed so poorly. I will always remember this shame and use this incident to urge myself on and remind myself not to lose my faith."

As she said this, Irina pressed her lips tightly together until blood trickled down her cheeks, seemingly trying to alleviate her inner turmoil through this almost self-harming method.

In response, Lius quickly stroked the gray-haired young woman's hair, sat down next to Irina, and hugged her tightly in his arms.

“Irina…”

Feeling the body of the beauty in his arms trembling with self-reproach, Levi blinked and realized that the state she had just displayed was just a facade, a strong posture that Irina put on in front of Levi so as not to hold him back.

Although she appeared very strong on the surface, Irina was actually in a state of fear inside, and even had self-loathing. All of this made Irina extremely uneasy, so much so that even when Lius held her, she couldn't help but tremble uncontrollably.

“Irina…”

After hesitating for a moment, Leus gazed at the face of the young woman in his arms and finally spoke:

“Irina, I’m here. If you want to cry or have anything you want to say, just tell me. I’m all alone here now, so don’t worry about being seen by anyone else.”

"Lius...I'm alright..."

"Actually, I've already cried, and I'm in a good mood now, so even if you vent your sadness on me, I can totally accept it. Don't put so many restrictions on yourself, just let your emotions flow."

"I really don't need it..."

Irina still tried to put on a brave front, but Lius didn't give her any chance to argue. After thinking for a moment, he revealed a meaningful wicked smile, and then suddenly exerted force, making Irina roll over. He used his arm to hold Irina in place, and with his other hand, he aimed at the rounded shape behind her and slapped it down hard.

"Snapped!"

"Hey! Leus, what are you doing... hey!"

Another series of slaps caused Irina to gasp in surprise, seemingly with a very sensitive touch. Meanwhile, Leus continued to grin wickedly, teasing the young woman in his arms.

"Hehe, of course I want to make you cry, Irina! Come on, come on, stop holding back and let your emotions show!"

"Waaah... No way... This is too embarrassing! This is the palace, I can't... Ah!"

The slaps continued, making the gray-haired woman's voices grow louder. Even though Irina tried her best to suppress the overwhelming sensation, she gradually couldn't hold back under Lius's skillful movements, and her voices began to grow louder.

"Ah... Waaah... You bad guy, I'm so much older than you, and we were even a couple before... Now you're... bullying me again, making me feel even worse after all that bad stuff... Waaah... You bad guy... Waaah..."

“If it allows you, Irina, to vent your emotions, then I’m willing to be the ‘bad guy,’ so…”

With a serious tone, Leus leaned close to Irina's face and gently blew a breath onto the corner of her eye, which was already starting to tear up.

"So...Irina, you want to release your emotions?"

"I... Waaah... I... Waaah..."

Finally, under Lius's relentless "offensive," Irina could no longer endure the double attack on her mind and body. Her legs trembled, and she paused for a moment. Then, tears, like a dam breaking, streamed down her face.

"Waaaah...waaaah...you bad guy, waaaah...I didn't want to...I didn't want to show this cowardly side...I didn't want to be a burden to you in any way...waaaah...but in the end...it still..."

“I know all your feelings, thank you Irina. Now don’t worry about so much, just cry your heart out.”

Stroking the young woman's hair, Leus didn't show much expression, but simply spoke slowly.

"Ugh...you bad guy...you always do this...stirring up my feelings...ugh..."

Guided by Lius's words, Irina's defenses finally crumbled.

From her initial soft sobs to her later wailing, the surging emotions were fully displayed on the face of this gray-haired young woman.

"Woo...Woo..."

Amidst her sobs, Irina tightly hugged the shoulders of the boy beside her, releasing the pent-up pressure of the past few days together with the blond boy who had been by her side...

Chapter 209 The Changes in the High Priest (Part 1)

After some time, when the sun was fully high in the sky outside the window, the sobbing inside the room gradually stopped.

"Do you feel better?"

Stroking the gray-haired young woman in his arms, whose chest was damp with sweat, Leus lowered his head gently and spoke to her in a tender tone.

"Hmm... much better, I'm fine now, really, Lius, you... can let me go now..." With a blush on her face, Irina nodded and said softly.

"Even though you say that, Irina, deep down you still really want to stay with me like this for a while longer, right? Hehe, I won't let you go so easily, Irina. Stay in my arms for a while longer, and let you go only after I'm satisfied."

As he spoke, Lius continued to rub the young woman's head, showing no regard for this "elder" at all. Irina blushed and nodded, accepting the boy's caress.

"Thank you... Leus..."

"No need for so many thanks, otherwise it would be too formal. Come on, let's take advantage of this time alone together and tell each other what you think about those cult members."

"Cult members?"

Upon hearing Lius mention this, Irina pursed her lips and ultimately shook her head.

"As for me... I don't have many thoughts, but I feel that they have an evil aura and a power that I can't describe. Even the highest-ranking mages or cultivators I've seen are hard to match their power."

"I share the same thought. Although I have some doubts about the 'miracles' they have displayed, it is undeniable that these things do look very impressive. If there is no deception or concealment, those cultists must have extreme confidence in their own power."

As Lius said this, he couldn't help but feel a faint heat rising in his chest.

He had felt this before when he went to the cult, and even now, after escaping from it, he could still feel a lingering aftertaste, sweet and rich, which made Lius feel intoxicated by it.

"Regarding their power, could it really be drawn from the 'Supreme God' they worship? But does this game's world even have anything like a 'Supreme God'? Damn it, so much time has passed, I've almost forgotten all the details... This is so annoying..."

Such thoughts lingered in Lius's mind, causing him to frown in distress for a moment. He then gently put the young woman in his arms down, stood up from the bedside, and stretched as he walked towards the outside.

"Hmm... never mind, let's not think about that for now. The most important thing right now is to find that 'Bishop' of the cult. Whether we try to silence these cult members or wipe them out, it all depends on whether this 'Bishop' is willing to cooperate. Hmm... I'll discuss it with Ms. Leon later, and then I'll go back to my territory to make preparations."

With this thought in mind, Lius turned his head slightly and waved to Irina behind him.

"Ms. Irina, I plan to return to my territory for the time being. Would you like to come with me?"

"Alright... Anyway, I don't have anything else to do right now, and there's no point in staying here any longer. I should hurry back to the church..."

"Before we go back, would you like to see the Queen? Irina, you've never met the Queen before, have you? It's a rare opportunity to visit the palace today, don't you want to broaden your horizons?" Lius asked with a smile.
