Leon felt as if his mind had been struck by lightning. Two choices—why only these two? Just as he was about to make a selection, a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. He stood, opened the door, and found Jasper with his usual gentle smile. In his hand was a small travel bag, and his eyes held an unmistakable sincerity."Leon," Jasper began, his tone careful yet tinged with urgency, "I heard you’re staying here. That’s such a relief! Do you have any idea how worried I was? The dangers of the human district are beyond your imagination. Knowing that you’ll stay makes me feel at ease."Leon stared at him silently, offering no reply. Unfazed by the lack of reaction, Jasper stepped into the room and placed the travel bag on the table. "I know it might take some time for you to get used to this place," he said earnestly, "but that’s okay. I’ll be here with you, helping you adjust. Think of this as your home. I’ll make sure you’re safe and comfortable."Jasper's words grew gentler wit

"Of course not," Leon said, feeling a bit embarrassed as he scratched the back of his head. "They speak to me in my dreams. But it only happened once, so I think I need to come into contact with your sword first... before I sleep."Aric's lips curled into a sly smile upon hearing this. "Interesting. I can accept that condition," he said, his tone deliberately teasing. "But what do you expect to get from me in return?" He paused, his expression playful. "Perhaps a daily view of my attractive figure?""I don’t want that!" Leon was so frustrated that he stomped his foot. "I want safety! You can’t touch me, and you have to protect me from other demons and villains, especially that terrifying Morgana!"Aric moved slowly toward Leon, lowering his head so that his gaze was locked onto his. "Change that," he said, his voice low and commanding. "I can protect you, but I can’t protect you from slipping out of my own grasp.""Then you better keep yourself in check!" Leon blurted out without thin

Leon didn’t press further. He could tell Elian didn’t want him to know too much too soon, perhaps out of protection for Aric, or maybe for some deeper reason. Leon felt a shift in his own heart, unsure of how to view the seemingly cold and domineering Prince Aric anymore.However, Elian didn’t give him any extra time to dwell on it and continued, "Lastly, we have the lower class—or rather, the very bottom. This tier consists of criminal demons and unemployed humans."Leon was struck with a sudden chill at these words. Hearing terms like "criminal demons" and "unemployed humans," he could almost imagine what kind of beings they were—creatures that evoked both fear and pity.Elian continued slowly, "These beings are akin to the 'unemployed' within a corporation—street vendors or beggars, struggling to survive at the very bottom of society. Criminal demons and unemployed humans have no formal work, often relying on charity or illicit means to scrape by. At times, they might be hired by s

"Who cast the curse?" Leon asked, his eyes flickering with concern.Elian’s gaze grew somber. "We don’t know. And we can’t openly investigate it. After all, this is Prince Aric’s vulnerability."Leon’s heart ached slightly. "Is there anything I can do to help?"Elian’s expression hardened with resolve. "You’ve seen the visions of him killing. If you can describe them in detail, I might be able to dig deeper into the truth behind the curse."Leon frowned, confused. "Can’t you just ask Aric directly?"Elian replied, “It’s impossible. He kills while unconscious. We’ve tried tracking him, but Aric’s abilities are far too powerful. Many times, we’ve lost him halfway through. I’ve also tried helping him recall the incidents, but the pain he endures is overwhelming. Watching him suffer like that is something I can’t bear.”Leon frowned, still puzzled. “But isn’t that a crime? I thought even demons aren’t allowed to harm humans.”“That’s exactly why I need your help, Leon," Elian said firmly.

Leon froze, his face instantly flushed with a deep red. He opened his mouth to protest, but before he could utter a word, Aric’s lips pressed down on his again.This time, the kiss was deeper, more deliberate. Aric’s lips moved with a mastery that left no corner unexplored, his actions gentle yet tinged with an undeniable possessiveness. Each movement carried a sense of total control as if he was claiming a piece of Leon with every second.Leon’s hands instinctively gripped the blanket beneath him, his mind overwhelmed by the intensity of the moment. Aric’s movements were seamless, almost like he could predict Leon’s every thought and reaction. The kiss grew more profound, a mix of boldness and tenderness that made resistance seem futile.A faint sound of protest escaped Leon’s lips as he tried to push Aric away, but it was useless. Aric’s hand firmly cradled the back of his head, keeping him in place with an unyielding, yet oddly reassuring grip.As the resistance drained from Leon’s

Iris nodded lightly, raising her hand to trace a few intricate patterns in the air while muttering a quiet incantation. Moments later, the envelope glowed faintly with a dark red hue.“This letter is cursed,” Iris said with a frown. “Anyone who touches its contents will fall gravely ill.”Leon’s face darkened instantly. “Caelum gave it to me, and the name on it is Jasper… Caelum was just reassigned to help Elian. What’s going on here? Is this some kind of plot?” His mind raced, piecing together the unsettling details. “No, this isn’t right. I need to talk to Elian.”As Leon made to rush out, Iris grabbed his arm firmly. “Wait,” she said, her voice calm and measured. “Charging off like this will only alert others and might complicate things further. Don’t go to Elian just yet. I’ll send my owl with a message. He’ll know how to handle this without drawing unnecessary attention.”Leon hesitated but then nodded reluctantly, realizing the wisdom in her words.As Iris’s words faded, she sum

Caelum nodded and gave Leon’s shoulder a reassuring pat. “Let’s go. The sooner we find him, the better.”Leon took a deep breath and bolted after Caelum. His mind was a chaotic whirlwind—anxious for Aric's safety and uneasy about Elian's methods. Yet, at this moment, he had no choice but to pray they could find Aric before everything spiraled out of control.The dim corridor stretched before him as Leon sprinted, his pounding footsteps echoing like a relentless countdown. He paid no heed to whether Morgana or Jasper might be pursuing them; his thoughts were consumed by a single name—Aric.Why had Aric vanished so suddenly? Leon couldn’t make sense of it. Why hadn’t he followed the plan he had painstakingly agreed upon with Elian? They’d been certain that without taking a life, Aric’s curse would remain subdued. But now, it seemed like the curse had broken free, untamed. Or was it something else? Could his own harsh words—thoughtlessly spoken—have pushed Aric over the edge?“Damn it, I

"What are you so nervous about?" Aric finally spoke, his voice low and husky, laced with a dangerous magnetism that seemed to pierce straight through to the soul.Leon felt unsettled under his gaze, instinctively retreating until his back bumped against the heavy iron bed. The frame let out a sharp, grating creak to cruelly remind him that there was no way out."I... Why shouldn’t I be nervous?" Leon stammered, locking his eyes on Aric in a desperate attempt to decipher the answer buried within them. Yet Aric’s gaze was far too enigmatic, its intensity bearing down on him with such force that it was almost impossible to hold."You’re not planning to kill me, are you?" Leon forced a dry laugh, attempting to shatter the suffocating tension with his words. However, the moment the question left his lips, a heavy weight settled in his chest, dragging his confidence down with it.Aric didn’t answer. Instead, he continued to close the distance between them. This wasn’t the usual Aric—the sto

The wind howled fiercely at the mountain’s peak, whipping against Leon’s cloak as he stood at the summit, gazing down at the royal palace below. Yet, despite the commanding view, uncertainty gnawed at his heart.“Will this work?” he murmured, his palms slick with a faint sheen of sweat from how tightly he clenched his fists.Beside him, Aric stood unwavering, his deep-set eyes reflecting nothing but absolute certainty. Without a word, he gently ruffled Leon’s hair, his touch impossibly soft.“Believe in yourself,” he murmured, his voice carrying a quiet magic that soothed as much as it reassured. “And believe in me who believes in you.”Leon stiffened, a sharp jolt striking through his chest as if something had collided with his very core.No one had ever trusted him like this before.Taking a deep breath, he steadied himself, forcing the turmoil in his heart to settle. Slowly, he closed his eyes, letting his senses attune to the energy coursing through him.The power surged within hi

The rigor of the law and the reduction in crime rates had become his most difficult challenge. Simply relying on education and increasing the work output of the lower tiers didn’t seem to offer a complete solution to the deeply ingrained issues."What exactly should I do…"Every time that question arose, he would throw himself into hours of reading legal documents, historical records, and security management plans from various regions. He was determined to find an effective path forward, but despite all his efforts, he found no breakthrough in inspiration.The Enforcement Division’s task wasn’t any easier. They seemed more like an “enforcement agency” rather than one capable of proactively altering the security environment.Leon realized he had hit a deadlock.That day, Leon had been expecting the latest updates from the Enforcement Division. As he pored over several legal tomes, searching for a breakthrough, the person who arrived wasn’t from the Enforcement Division at all—it was Ar

His voice lowered slightly, laced with just the right amount of temptation, striking at the very core of these officials’ ambitions, “Or—are you willing to take a small calculated risk to create a system where palace life and resources don’t just remain steady—but continuously grow?”“After all, we’re talking about a low-cost, high-return investment… aren’t we?”At those words, many officials’ expressions shifted.The hesitation that once clouded their faces gave way to murmured discussions.Someone muttered thoughtfully, “...If this boosts overall productivity, then it might be worth trying.”“And besides, whether it succeeds or not, we don’t have to leave the palace ourselves. All we need to do is allocate resources.”“In the long run, if this increases material output and reduces the palace’s dependency on existing stores… it’s a viable strategy.”Seeing this, Leon tapped his fingers lightly against the table, his tone calm and measured, “Ladies and gentlemen, I don’t need you to d

After becoming an advisor to the Four Major Divisions and the deputy head of another, Leon took Caelum on a series of visits to various divisions where he had acquaintances—places he was familiar with but seldom engaged with daily.Their first destination was the Education Division.Leon had been here a few times before. Initially, it was out of curiosity while researching the history of the Blackwood Continent. He had encountered some questions and, on a whim, decided to seek answers here. What he hadn’t expected was that his inquiry would lead him directly to the division’s head.At first, the head hadn’t placed much expectation on him. But as their conversation unfolded, he was taken aback—this human was not just a physician. His knowledge was extensive and well-grounded, and in certain areas, he had delved into depths even the local scholars had never considered.They found themselves surprisingly in sync. The head, impressed by Leon’s intellect, chose not to withhold anything and

Leon took a deep breath and told Aric about the hidden door in Selena’s workshop.Aric’s eyes darkened slightly. "…This isn’t something we can rush. It needs careful planning."Leon smiled. "Then I’ll leave it to you."Aric pressed a kiss to his forehead. "Sure."The next morning, Leon yawned, fastening his outer robe as he made his way toward the door. Another ordinary day awaited him—returning to his work at the medical division, digging further into records about the Demon God, or perhaps reviewing intelligence reports from outside the palace.But just as his fingers brushed the door handle, a sudden, violent tremor erupted from the desk behind him. It was the book from Zalethos. —Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!The vibrations were so intense that the entire desk shook, dust scattering into the air. It was as if some ancient and formidable power was about to break free.Leon whipped around, his gaze sharp and wary as he stared at the book. “…What is it this time?” he muttered under his breath, c

Someone was behind this. Someone with knowledge, resources, and an agenda.Aric knew that if he wanted to put an end to the chaos, he had to uncover the mastermind pulling the strings.At the same time, Leon remained immersed in his work as head of the Medical Division. His days were filled with treating patients, developing new remedies, and refining potions—an endless cycle of responsibility that left little room for rest. Yet, in the hidden corners of his mind, another task quietly took root.He had begun a secret investigation of his own—one that sought to uncover the true definition of “sin” and “crime”.More and more, he found himself frequenting the halls of the Religious Division and Judicial Division.The clergy had grown accustomed to his presence. After all, Leon was an anomaly—a human not only surviving in the heart of the demon capital but thriving, having risen to lead the Medical Division and even become engaged to the crown prince. His existence alone was enough to shi

His words rang out with undeniable authority, each syllable hammering home the truth with an almost regal finality. No one dared speak, not even those eager to condemn.Zalethos leaned back, his expression unreadable for a moment before a knowing glint flickered in his eyes. Rising from his seat with deliberate calm, he adjusted his robes and declared, "In that case, let today’s trial come to an end."Lisa, standing nearby, looked like she wanted to protest, her lips parting to speak. But Zalethos cut her off with a well-timed cough, one hand subtly motioning to Rose for support. "I’m feeling a bit fatigued," he said with a faint smile. "I believe it’s time for me to rest. You may all withdraw."The court took the hint, bowing respectfully before filing out. One by one, the crowd departed, the tension gradually dissipating into a calm hum.Yet amidst the dispersing crowd, Leon’s keen eyes caught a fleeting detail—a shift in the air, a shadow across a single face.Jasper stood frozen i

The voices in the hall surged like relentless waves, crashing one after another against the minds of the still-hesitant judges. Jasper’s gaze deepened, his brow furrowing slightly. It was clear to him—the tide had turned. Almost everyone now stood in favor of Leon’s innocence.Slowly, he stepped forward, preparing to speak and declare Leon free of all charges.But just as the words were about to leave his lips, a cold, measured voice cut through the air."Wait."All eyes turned toward Lisa as she emerged from the crowd. Her steps were calm, steady, and deliberate, her gaze sharp and unyielding as it locked onto Aric and Leon. There was no warmth in her tone—only a chilling objectivity, as if she were dissecting a body on an operating table."Even if ignorance can be forgiven, even if he redeemed himself, and even if his physician’s heart saved Morgana," she said, each word slicing through the hall with surgical precision, "we cannot deny that he did make a serious mistake at the start
When He Becomes The Prince's Only Salvation Chapter 50
Her words crashed into the hall like a hammer, silencing the room in an instant. The once-building hope and warmth were abruptly chilled. A tense, suffocating stillness settled over the grand chamber.Jasper’s brow furrowed slightly. He crossed his arms, clearly torn. He had no desire to deal harsh punishment to Leon, but Selena’s accusation hung in the air, undeniable. His hesitation was evident—his eyes flickered between Leon and Selena, his thoughts visibly conflicted.Then, amid the suffocating silence, a voice rang out—cold, calm, and razor-sharp.“Attacked by her own pet—who else is there to blame?” The words cut through the tension like a knife through the taut fabric. Heads turned instantly toward the source of the voice, every eye-locking on its owner.At the grand hall’s entrance, a figure emerged from the shadows, his every step steady and deliberate. Aric, clad in a perfectly tailored charcoal-gray suit, seemed almost to shimmer under the flickering torchlight. His sharp f
