When He Becomes The Prince's Only Salvation Chapter 18
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

"I said it’s great!" Leon blurted out, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Aric. "Because my herbs work—it helped you!"But his excitement didn’t seem to reach Aric. Instead, Aric’s expression grew colder, a shadow of danger creeping over his face like a silent storm brewing on the horizon."Are you pitying me now?" Aric’s voice was low, laced with restrained anger.Leon froze, his smile stiffening. He hadn’t expected such a response from Aric."No, of course not!" he quickly explained, panic flickering. "I’m just happy because the herbs and portion actually worked!""So..." Aric stared at him, his gaze dark and icy, "you’re happy because your herbs worked and indirectly it helped me." His voice was terrifyingly calm, yet it sent a chill straight to the bone. "It seems, then, that what makes us ‘happy’ isn’t quite the same.""Huh?" Leon was completely baffled, even a bit lost. But the next second, Aric’s eyes sharpened, their edge cutting straight into Leon’s chest like a blade."Your

When Leon saw the female ghost again, he stood before the familiar, rusted iron door, his emotions a tangled web of unease and curiosity. As he turned around, there she was—her figure still flickering like a wavering flame. An icy aura lingered around her, cold but not menacing.“My kind benefactor…” Her voice was low, as though it emerged from the depths of some faraway abyss, yet it carried a faint trace of sincerity.Leon froze for a moment, pointing to himself in disbelief. “M-me? Are you talking about me?”The female ghost gave a gentle nod, her gaze resting on him with a complexity that seemed to carry a thousand untold stories. “Yes. Thanks to you, the wicked spirit who tormented me has been scattered to oblivion. I am finally free.”Leon pressed his lips together, the weight of past events settling on his mind. After a pause, he furrowed his brow and asked, “Was he… truly that cruel?”Hearing those words, a flicker of hatred crossed the female ghost’s face. She closed her eyes

Leon had quickly made a name for himself in the Medical Division, becoming a living legend within weeks.Whenever he walked through the long corridors of the department, demons would pause to bow their heads respectfully as he passed.“Master Leon!”“Good morning, Lord Leon!”He never cared much for formalities, but his unmatched medical skills and unwavering dedication earned him the respect and admiration of everyone in the division.The event that solidified his near-mythical status, however, was his miraculous treatment of a noble demon’s bedridden daughter. This young lady had spent nearly two decades confined to her bed. Even her influential father had sought out Iris and Elian, hoping they could help. Yet despite their considerable expertise, both had regretfully admitted that the girl’s condition was beyond their capabilities.Then came Leon. He patiently adjusted her medicine, fine-tuning every ingredient with meticulous precision. Together with Elian, he crafted a new potion

Leon frowned. “So mistakes can’t even be called out? The rules where you come from are ridiculous.” Good thing he never considered joining Jasper’s side—who knew how long he’d last before being tormented to death?Jasper didn’t argue. Instead, he added calmly, “Actually… Selena was involved as well.”Selena? Leon immediately thought of that elusive, enigmatic witch. She and Morgana were sisters, but her abilities were far more unfathomable.Jasper’s tone remained even, but there was an undercurrent of helplessness beneath it. “Morgana may be one of my mother’s most trusted witches, but the one she truly values is Selena. Because of Selena, my mother has always shielded the Thorn sisters unconditionally. And as for me… of course, I can’t go against them.”Leon studied Jasper’s expression, searching for something beneath his carefully measured words.Jasper let out a soft, bitter laugh. “Ironic, isn’t it? I’m a prince, and yet I’m this powerless.”Leon lowered his gaze in thought, but s

Leon was momentarily stunned. He thought about it and realized there was some truth to it. He nodded but couldn't help adding, "You're right. This place is a bit different from what I expected… full of surprises." He deliberately paused at that point, glanced at Aric, and added with a smirk, "Of course, some of them are more like shocks."Aric looked at him, a playful smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "Your arrival was a surprise to me as well. And also…"Leon instinctively sensed something hidden in those words. He narrowed his eyes. "Also what?"Aric's voice dropped slightly, laced with an amused undertone. "Astonishing.""A-Astonishing?" Leon was caught off guard. He hadn’t expected Aric to describe him that way. "What do you mean?"Aric’s smile deepened, his eyes gleaming with mischief. "That kind of astonishing—your flushed body, the way you moaned so beautifully. I still remember it vividly.""You—!" Leon’s face instantly turned scarlet. He jumped up, pointing at Aric wi

“What about you?” He spoke softly, with a hint of restrained emotion in his voice. “You... you could’ve just ignored it.”“I could have, but that’s Caelum... my good friend,” Aric replied, his words simple but unwavering, his gaze carrying no hesitation."Aren't you afraid of being demoted?" Leon's voice was urgent, confused. "Didn't they say that even the ruling class could be cast down to the third tier? And in severe cases, even to the very bottom?"Aric glanced at him, his expression indifferent, as if such dangers were of no concern to him. He shrugged, his tone as calm as if he were discussing the weather. "Well, I gave up something important in exchange."Leon froze for a moment, his brows knitting together. "What did you give up?""The throne," Aric said matter-of-factly like it was nothing more than a trivial detail.For a brief moment, the air seemed to solidify. Leon stared at him, eyes wide with disbelief. "The throne?!""That's right." Aric turned to gaze out the window,

Leon’s brow furrowed deeper, clearly dissatisfied with the answer. Without wasting another moment, he stepped forward, turning Aric to face him. They stood face-to-face, and without hesitation, Leon grabbed Aric's cheeks, squeezing firmly, forcing their gazes to lock.“Think carefully!” Leon’s voice was almost a command, carrying a stubborn insistence that left little room for refusal.Aric paused for a moment, then smiled, a knowing grin curling at the corners of his lips. “You’re rather fierce.”Leon didn’t respond. He simply stared at him, his clear eyes filled with urgency and determination, making it impossible for anyone to look away.Aric raised an eyebrow, then suddenly bent down, his hands gripping Leon effortlessly as he lifted him and placed him on the nearby table."Give me a kiss, and I’ll think seriously," Aric said, straightening up, his hands casually resting on the edge of the table, his tone light and teasing.Leon froze for a moment, then instinctively flushed. “You

He lowered his head for a moment, taking a deep breath to compose himself. When he looked up again, his tone softened a hint of determination in his voice. “Come on, just wear it. It’s not like it’ll cost you anything. And... it’s a gift from me.”Leon’s voice dropped slightly, but the way he said it—soft and almost coaxing—struck Aric like a direct hit to the senses, making his heart stir ever so slightly.Aric studied him with an unreadable expression before a slow, amused smile tugged at his lips. “Hmm… then put it on for me.”Leon was caught off guard. His mind blanked for a second before heat rushed to his ears, turning them a deep shade of red. He bit his lip, reminding himself: “It’s fine. Rose said this is part of the plan. Nothing to panic about!”Taking a small step closer, he carefully picked up the bracelet. His fingers trembled slightly from nerves, and when they accidentally brushed against Aric’s wrist, he instinctively flinched as though he had been shocked. But the ne

A warmth spread through Leon’s chest, and he quietly followed Elian down the path. Yet, despite the comfort of Elian’s presence, Selena’s sharp, dangerous gaze and her parting words, “I suppose we’ll meet again if fate allows,” lingered in his mind like an unshakable shadow.“What does she really want?” The question gnawed at him, sharp and insistent, like a needle piercing his thoughts, leaving him with a sense of unease he couldn’t quite shake off.As Leon pushed open the door, he found Aric already waiting inside. The soft glow of the evening sun streamed through the windows, wrapping Aric in a halo of warm light. Yet his eyes betrayed a hint of unease, layered with emotions too complex to decipher.Leon hadn’t intended to say much, but the sight of Aric’s face immediately brought back the mortifying memories from that morning. His brows furrowed instinctively, and an awkward tension settled between them like an invisible wall.Elian, ever practical, gave Aric a brief set of instru

Elian had been rushing to catch up, his face showing signs of concern. But when he saw Leon’s carefree, almost “school’s out” demeanor, his tension seemed to evaporate like mist.Unable to help himself, he called out, “Leon!”Leon looked up and, seeing that it was Elian, he stopped and asked, “Elian, are you looking for me?”“Yeah, I wanted to talk to you about last night,” Elian replied, calm but laced with an undertone of something more serious.“Last night?” Leon blinked in surprise, and then certain images flashed in his mind, causing his face to flush red. He instinctively took a step back. “It’s not... something too personal, is it?”Seeing his reaction, Elian couldn’t help but chuckle softly. “Don’t worry, it’s definitely not personal.”“Then... you already know, don’t you?” Leon’s voice dropped to a barely audible whisper, his face turning an even deeper shade of red. He almost wished the ground would open up and swallow him whole.“Given the messiness of the room… it’s hard t

“Lady Lisa?” Leon answered, “But I haven’t had the chance to speak with her in person.”“That’s probably for the best,” Rose scoffed lightly, her tone tinged with disdain. “Her methods are so cruel; just imagine how dangerous she must be herself. Remember this—if you ever cross paths with her again, and you don’t have anyone reliable by your side, don’t engage with her too deeply.”There was a sincerity in her words that made Leon’s heart warm. He felt a deep sense of gratitude, moved by the care she showed him. In just a few brief encounters, she had offered him a kind of concern he’d never felt before, not even from his human stepmother.He spoke softly, his voice filled with sincerity. “Thank you, Rose.”Rose gave his shoulder a gentle pat, smiling. “Silly boy, there’s no need to thank me for that.”Then, suddenly, her tone shifted. “Now, tell me, how’s life at Aric’s place?”Leon blinked, caught off guard. The question hung in the air for a moment, and he found himself swallowing
