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

“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 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

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 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

A sudden, inexplicable chill shot up from the soles of Leon's feet, gripping his spine with an icy grip. He forced himself to remain composed, his eyes scanning the area around him.Not far away stood Aric, his expression cold and unreadable. His eyes were locked on Jasper, sharp and unyielding, like the edge of a blade. Further off, in the distance, Leon could see Zalethos, Rose, and a group of high-ranking nobles—all of them wearing expressions of grim seriousness.“What happened?” Leon’s mind was a storm of questions, but this wasn’t the time for inquiries.Jasper’s condition was critical. He was slipping in and out of consciousness, his forehead slick with cold sweat, and faint traces of blood at the corners of his mouth.“No time to waste. We need to get him to the Medical Division now!”He turned swiftly, pointing at two nearby guards. “You two—carry him to the Medical Division, immediately!”Leon’s gaze shifted to Elian in the distance. His voice rang out, sharp and urgent. “El

Leon hurried forward, his eyes flickering with panic. "Listen to me—"But before he could finish, Aric raised his hand abruptly, cutting him off. "There's nothing more to say."Without sparing another glance, Aric turned on his heel and walked toward the door. His steps were firm, his back unwavering. He pushed the door open and stepped out, his figure disappearing into the dim corridor without looking back.Bang. The door slammed shut behind him with a heavy thud, the sound echoing in the silence like a final punctuation mark to something left unresolved.Leon stood frozen, staring blankly at the closed door. His heart felt like it had been struck by an invisible force, leaving a dull ache in his chest that grew sharper with each passing second. His breath caught in his throat, his lungs tightening painfully as if the air had suddenly grown too thin.The room was eerily quiet once more. He pressed a trembling hand to his chest, his fingers curling slightly, trying to ease the heavine

Leon instinctively took a step back, his shoulders pressing against the cold, unyielding wall. His heart thundered in his chest. "You can’t do this! The rules forbid it!"Lisa chuckled softly, her voice dripping with disdain. "Impressive. You’ve only been here a short while, yet you’ve already learned so much."Selena advanced slowly, her eyes glinting with cruel delight. "Too bad… knowing the rules won’t save you from what’s coming tonight."Her hand reached toward him, cold and deliberate, but just as her fingers were about to close the distance—"Stop!" A commanding voice cut through the tension like a blade.The door swung open, and Jasper stepped inside. His face was pale with exhaustion, but his posture was firm and unwavering as he placed himself between Leon and Selena.Lisa’s brow furrowed, her tone laced with irritation. "Jasper… Still so disobedient."Jasper let out a dry, humorless laugh. His eyes burned with resolve. "I’m simply here to remind you, Mother—Leon is no longe

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
