When He Becomes The Prince's Only Salvation Chapter 8
He sat frozen on the floor, his eyes locked onto the sword, terror and unease written all over his face. This couldn’t have been just a hallucination—the images were too vivid, too real, as if he had personally witnessed the carnage. That sword… it was no ordinary weapon.“No, it’s impossible… he…” Leon’s voice trembled, the words faltering, unable to form a coherent sentence. His breathing was erratic, and he became painfully aware of his own hands shaking uncontrollably like they had just touched something unimaginably evil.“Calm down, Leon. Calm down…” he whispered hoarsely, but calm was nowhere to be found. Desperation clawed at him as he scrambled to his feet, stumbling toward the bed. He grabbed the blanket and wrapped it tightly around himself, curling into a trembling ball.“Sleep… sleep… stop thinking…” he murmured under his breath, desperately clinging to the words, hoping they could shield him from the horrifying images. He buried his head deeper into the blanket, strainin

The door burst open with a resounding bang, and Jasper’s tall, commanding figure filled the doorway. His gaze locked onto Leon instantly, sharp and unwavering. For a moment, Leon forgot how to breathe. He watched as Jasper stepped inside, each movement deliberate and unhurried. His demeanor showed no hostility, yet the memory of Jasper’s furious departure the previous night sent a shiver down Leon’s spine. This wasn’t just anyone—this was a demon.Instinctively, Leon scooted back, his body acting before his mind could catch up. By the time he realized what he was doing, his back was already pressed against the edge of the bed. He had nowhere left to go.Jasper, meanwhile, made himself comfortable, sitting casually at the foot of the bed. His piercing eyes bore into Leon, unrelenting and impossible to ignore.Leon felt the blood in his veins had turned to ice, a tingling numbness spreading to his fingertips. Overwhelmed, he made a snap decision. Pulling the blanket over his head, he bu

Jasper looked up, his gaze softening, carrying a hint of apology. “That’s why I considered finding a human partner from your world. But I never imagined… even then, the wedding would be ruined.” He leaned a little closer to Leon, his voice low, filled with guilt. “Leon, I’m sorry. Because of my selfishness, I must’ve frightened you, and you’ve been through much suffering.”Leon was caught off guard by Jasper’s candid confession, and a faint blush crept up his face before he could stop it. While he was still processing the moment, Jasper’s hand slowly reached out, gently cupping Leon’s cheek.“I admit,” Jasper began, his voice low yet brimming with tenderness, “at first, I didn’t know you. But what I said last night—about love at first sight—was true.”His words were steady and sincere, and his gaze seemed to pull Leon into its depths. “So… will you forgive me? Let’s start over. If you’re not comfortable with marrying first and falling in love later, we can take it slow. We can date fi

"Yesterday's bravery or ignorance—I chose wrong. You’re just ignorant," Aric murmured, leaning closer to Leon's face, his voice low and laced with danger. "So, if it’s ignorance or cowardice this time, which are you? Shall we make a bet?"Leon swallowed nervously, his throat dry, his voice trembling. "A... a bet? On what?""If I’m wrong, I’ll leave immediately," Aric said, his smile tinged with a teasing mockery. "But if I’m right... then we continue."Leon’s voice wavered, barely audible. "C-continue what?"Aric leaned close to his ear, his voice dropping to a seductive murmur, like a dark, honeyed whisper. "Continue to let yourself be completely defiled. That way, you can stand tall in front of that brat and tell him with pride that Prince Aric has entirely claimed you. He won’t keep pestering you to marry him after that."Leon’s breath hitched at those words. He couldn’t help but shut his eyes, his body shrinking slightly as a chill ran down his spine. He could almost feel the mock

As soon as his words fell, the hall fell into a brief silence.Then, to Leon’s surprise, Zalethos's stern expression seemed to crack, and he burst into laughter. "Hahaha, this kid is interesting!"Rose gently shook her head, a bemused smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "You don’t need to worry about those formalities here, Leon. Those kinds of gestures are forbidden in our kingdom."Leon, feeling a bit embarrassed, awkwardly scratched his head. "Well... could you give me some tips then? I’m already at a disadvantage with the whole species thing so a little guidance would be nice. At least let me act normal, so I can at least seem a little... well, normal, in front of everyone."“Hahaha, as long as it's similar to your world, that’s enough,” Zalethos laughed heartily, though his gaze carried a hint of amusement.Leon blinked, momentarily thrown off. "Really? So... that means there are no royal protocols?"He hesitated momentarily, then, testing the waters, gave a slight bow towa

In the luxurious VIP room, Leon reclined on the soft bed, his mind finally at ease for once. The room was quiet and comfortable, even the sound of the wind outside carried a sense of tranquility. Stretching lazily, he thought to himself, “At last, I’ve shaken off those two clingy princes.”His gaze drifted to the candle on the table, lost in thought, and a hint of anticipation stirred within him—The human district. Would it feel more like home? At least there, he wouldn’t have to deal with those domineering, otherworldly demon princes and their constant entanglements. The idea made him almost giddy with excitement.Unfortunately, the peace lasted only a fleeting few minutes. Suddenly, the room was filled with a familiar presence.“Bang!”Leon was startled and quickly sat up, his eyes locking onto the faint distortion in the air before him. In the blink of an eye, Aric materialized like a phantom, standing right in front of him. Leon distinctly remembered the door hadn’t opened, and th

Leon tightened his grip on the photo, his voice low as he spoke. “I was studying out of town when I got the news that my father was sick. I rushed home, but as soon as I stepped out of the airport... I...” His voice caught for a moment before he continued, “I was kidnapped.”“Then sold at an underground auction, to Jasper, right?” Aric raised an eyebrow, his smile turning slightly mocking.Leon nodded; his voice tinged with resignation. “Yeah.”Aric suddenly chuckled, the tone almost playful. “And who sold you?”Leon’s expression instantly hardened, his grip on the photo so tight that his knuckles turned white. “I wish it had been some human trafficking gang,” he said bitterly. “But it wasn’t.”Hearing this, Aric’s gaze darkened. “So, you know something.”Leon lowered his head, staring at the photo as emotions of anger and hurt swirled in his eyes. “Before I passed out at the auction, I heard the intermediary making a call to his client. He mentioned two names—Janet Ma... and Randy Ma

After several days of waiting, Leon finally saw Iris standing before him. He looked at her, her hand holding a book that emitted a soft blue glow, her expression radiating joy."I can finally smell the scent of freedom!" he exclaimed. Leon had thought this day would mark the beginning of his release, the first step toward his escape to the human district and a new life. However, Iris' words came like a cold bucket of water, dousing his hopes."Leon, your herbs are indeed very effective," Iris said, her voice filled with genuine admiration, yet carrying a hint of something hard to pinpoint, something more complex. "Our patient used to take the medicine I made every day, but with yours, she only needs to use it once every three days."Leon froze for a moment, a surge of excitement washing over him, and his voice couldn’t hide its pride. "That’s great! Once I reach the human district, I can find even better herbs and send them back to you."However, Iris’ expression slowly shifted into s

They made their way through the forest, sunlight filtering through the gaps in the trees, casting dappled shadows on the ground. Time seemed to stretch on as they walked, but finally, the path ahead cleared, and a smooth asphalt road appeared before them. Leon practically ran forward, eager to get moving, and waved down a passing taxi.The driver poked his head out, eyeing the two young men suspiciously. “Where to?”Leon casually named a destination in the city center, then quickly pulled Aric into the cab, letting out a sigh of relief.As the taxi sped away, the forest receded behind them, replaced by the towering skyscrapers of the city, neon lights flashing, and the buzz of voices filling the air. For a moment, Leon had been preoccupied with surviving in this world—after all, he didn’t have a penny to his name. But just as he was beginning to worry about his next move, Aric casually pulled out a black gold card, flipping it expertly between his fingers.Leon’s eyes widened. “Where

Just as he finished speaking, his bed suddenly dipped. The next second, a powerful force yanked him right out of the covers.“Hey! Hey! What are you doing?!” Leon screamed in surprise, but before he could react, Aric had already hoisted him onto his shoulder, as if he were a sack of potatoes, effortlessly carrying him away.“Put me down! Now!” Leon struggled desperately, but Aric’s strength was far greater, and he didn’t budge an inch.“If you refuse to get up on your own, I’ll have to do it for you,” Aric said, his tone light and even laced with a hint of amusement.Leon rolled his eyes, resigned to his fate. He buried his head in Aric’s back and muttered lazily, “Fine, do whatever you want. I’ll just switch to a different position and go back to sleep…”However, after a moment, something didn’t sit right.It wasn’t just him Aric was carrying.Leon slowly lifted his head, casting a glance toward Aric’s other side. There, he saw a large, bulging backpack, heavy and seemingly filled wi

As he stepped out of the prison, the cool night air brushed against his skin. The magic lanterns outside cast long, stretching shadows across the stone pavement. And there, bathed in that soft glow, Aric stood leaning against a stone pillar, arms crossed, his usual playful smirk dancing at the corners of his lips as he watched Leon."Has my great physician fiancé finished with his work?" Aric raised an eyebrow, a teasing smile playing at the corner of his lips. Yet, there was something serious in his eyes, as if he were trying to read something from Leon's expression.Leon snapped out of his thoughts, nodding. "Yes."He fell silent for a moment, then couldn’t help but ask, "Aric, I don’t understand. Why is Selena targeting the Blackwood family? Does that include Lisa and Jasper as well?"Aric dropped his playful demeanor, his gaze darkening slightly as he spoke slowly. "I don’t fully understand either... But from Morgana’s reaction, it seems the relationship between them and Lisa isn’

Morgana’s voice grew weaker, but the magic refused to let her stop. She was forced to continue, every word dragged out like a confession to the abyss.“The stone… shields her research… hides it from the Enforcement Division… She’s been working on it all this time… and once the spell is complete… she plans to destroy the Blackwood family… completely.”“What?!”Leon’s eyes widened, his breath hitching.Selena’s ambition wasn’t just to control someone—she wanted to erase the Blackwood family from existence.How dare she?The sheer scale of her plan was madness.But why? Why them?The cell fell into a suffocating silence.Leon’s fingers curled into fists, his knuckles turning white. His mind raced through the implications and hidden motives that led to this revelation.Aric, for once, was quiet. Then—he exhaled a slow, almost amused chuckle.“So that’s how it is…”He gazed down at Morgana, his expression unreadable, his voice as cold as steel.“You’ve given me quite the gift.”Morgana's l

Aric let out a quiet scoff, a glint of coldness flashing in his eyes. “Hard to say. But this outcome was inevitable.”“Inevitable?”Leon’s gaze sharpened. Aric rarely used such a phrase—unless he had already woven an invisible net around his prey.Aric turned his head slightly, a ghost of a smile playing at the corner of his lips.“Among all the witches and warlocks, only their magic is truly… unnatural. Even by simple elimination, they were always the prime suspects.”He paused deliberately, his voice stretching out in a teasing drawl.“Besides… I had Elian spread a few rumors and exaggerate the results of the research. And you know how it is—when people have something to hide, they start acting strange. Keeping their heads down. Becoming just a little too quiet.”Leon fixed his gaze on him as if he had already pieced together where this was going. “And then?”Aric shrugged, his tone laced with a casual, almost playful cunning. “A few times, I made a point of boasting in front of the

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
When He Becomes The Prince's Only Salvation Chapter 55
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
