The villainous prince who bullied Feng Aotian was actually myself.

"So what do you want to do?"

Leon was confused. "Miss Philippa, you don't actually like me, do you?"

"How could that be? Don't you know yourself? How could I possibly like you?"

Philippa blushed, then crossed her arms and immediately denied it.

"Now that you're saying this, I feel relieved."

Leon breathed a sigh of relief.

"What do you mean? Is it something shameful for me to like you?"

Seeing Leon's "thank goodness he didn't fancy me" attitude, Philippa was inexplicably furious.

"No, it's a very happy thing to be liked by Miss Philippa."

Leon smiled and said, "But if it were me, it would only bring you misfortune."

"Why do you say that?"

Philippa looked up at her delicate face with a puzzled expression, her beautiful red eyes, which reflected Leon's features, filled with an unusual emotion.

"This..."

How do you say this?

As a villain destined to die, I don't even know how much longer I have to live. If any woman gets together with me, wouldn't she just want to become a widow?

In short, we're just not a good match.

Leon mumbled. After all, if he told her he was a time traveler who already knew his destiny or something, she would just think he was crazy.

"Tsk, you make it sound like I'm really looking forward to being a good match for you."

Philippa clicked her tongue, then turned and disappeared like a spirit, passing through the wall without looking back.

"?"

baffling.

Leon shrugged as he watched Philippa leave, then lay back on the bed, opened the Mishuteltin Notebook, and continued to ponder.

Chapter Forty-Five: Bringing the Emperor Home

Guberlan, the Royal Palace.

Having just met with the vampire ambassador,

Caesar left the hall without a trace of joy on his face.

As soon as they stepped out, they boarded the luxurious carriage that was already waiting at the door.

The Royal Palace is located in the center of the palace, about one-third of a kilometer away from the western section where Caesar worked and rested.

But Caesar was an emperor, and emperors would never walk on their own if they could avoid it.

This isn't just about enjoyment; it represents status and prestige.

Caesar was always an emperor who valued prestige; otherwise, how could he be called Caesar the Great by everyone!

Of course, 70% of that is indeed due to real ability, and the remaining 30% is obviously just showing off.

Never underestimate the power of Dihua.

Upon returning to his office, Caesar's first act was to summon Knight Commander Seth.

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

Sais entered and bowed.

"Go and make preparations, then go to Moonlight City with the vampire envoy and bring Leon back."

Caesar said in a muffled voice.

"As ordered."

Sais bowed and took his leave.

On his way out, he encountered Leon.

"Mr. Gladstone."

Before Seth could speak, Leon greeted him first, "You seem to be in such a hurry. Has Father given you another difficult problem?"

"No, that's not it. I was just asked to pick up Prince Leon and bring him back to the palace."

Seth smiled.

Anyway, the matter of bringing Leon back to the palace is something that not only Leon, but everyone else will find out sooner or later; it's not a secret.

"I see. Then I'll leave my troublesome, foolish elder brother in your care. Best of luck."

Leon responded with a smile.

"Well, I'll take my leave now."

Seth nodded slightly and quickly left.

Ugh, this is such a hassle.

Leon watched Seth's departing figure and shrugged.

Leon is going back to the palace.

Leon already knew.

Because before the vampire envoy arrived at the palace,

Leon then received an anonymous letter.

The letter contained Leon's notes.

Just a few words.

My dear Leon:

I am currently safe and sound in Moonlight City. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I will return in a few days. Do not worry.

That Leon!

This is blatant provocation!

It seems my elder brother isn't so foolish after all.

He must have guessed that I was the one who got him into the Thorn Forest.

After reading the letter, Leon was not angry, but rather thought about it with interest.

Leon won't die.

This was actually within Leon's expectations.

Ilion guessed that after Leon was captured by the vampires, he would cry and tremble as he shouted, "I am Leon, the prince of the Fchester Empire! Who dares to touch me!"

The vampires who hear this may not believe it, but they will definitely investigate.

If the investigation confirms the facts, then they will certainly treat him well and provide him with good food and lodging, and finally demand some ransom from the empire before sending Leon back.

From the very beginning, Leon never intended to kill Leon.

If he really wanted to kill Leon, he wouldn't have needed to go through all this trouble.

He did this mainly to see Caesar's attitude, and also to see how much Leon was capable of.

The fact that it took so many days for news to come from the vampires only means that Leon may have been hiding safely among them for some time, and didn't immediately panic and cry out, "I am Prince Fchester!"

Leon gently rang the doorbell and, after receiving Caesar's permission, entered the office.

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

Leon bowed respectfully.

He came to the West End because he was summoned by Caesar.

"The vampire envoy has arrived today. Your brother is currently in Moonlight City. Go with Seth to bring him back."

Caesar stared at Leon and spoke slowly.

"As ordered."

Leon bowed and asked, "Your Majesty, is there anything else you require?"

"Nothing for now, you may go."

Caesar waved his hand wearily.

"Ok."

Leon bowed and left.

A short while later, he met with Seth again.

"Your Highness Leon, is there anything else?"

Seth was puzzled.

"I'll go pick up my brother, let's go together, it's His Majesty Caesar's wish."

"Leon replied."

"His Majesty has instructed His Highness to also go and greet His Highness Leon?"

Seth knew the inside story behind Leon's entry into the Thorn Forest.

"Yes."

Leon laughed and said, "I am very happy to be able to personally bring my dear brother back."

At this moment, in the royal palace of the City of Moonlight.

Leon, who was ruthlessly eating, suddenly shivered.

After arriving in the City of Moonlight, he was finally free from abuse and could happily enjoy normal, bloodless food.

I just feel a bit lonely.

A person was locked in the yard.

There were also powerful vampire soldiers guarding the door.

No one talks to me.

I should at least arrange for a few vampire girls to serve me, right?

However, vampires live in a matriarchal society, so such oppression of women is generally not a problem.

Therefore, it would be acceptable to choose a handsome vampire male concubine for Leon.

However, Leon himself would say no.

Leon has a bottom line: she rejects gay men!

Moreover, the chances of contracting AIDS from male homosexuality are very high.

Leon would never refuse to watch two pretty girls snuggling together, since lesbians are always so alluring.

But if it's two men, then it's really too much to bear.

On his first day in the vampire capital, Philippa visited him in the middle of the night, chatted briefly with him, and then left. She never came back after that, and Leon never saw her again.

Is it because she's been too busy since becoming a saint?

Or is it because he's already gone back to the castle?

Or perhaps he went into seclusion to cultivate himself?

Leon had tried to guess the reason, but after much guessing, he realized it was all pointless, so he gave up.

In addition, during his stay at the vampire palace, Leon struck up a conversation with a male vampire officer. Through him, Leon learned that the beautiful woman, Kassa Ling, was the vampire queen's favorite and the youngest king-level powerhouse, who was only... a little over three hundred years old.

Then there's this Kasali, who was always a woman and has never had a male lover, at least openly. It's rumored she might still be a virgin?

A 300-year-old virgin, she's got something!
