Chapter 261 - 261 133 Envoy from Wolf Territory

261: Chapter 133: Envoy from Wolf Territory 261: Chapter 133: Envoy from Wolf Territory In the early morning, Leon awoke to a gentle sensation at his front.

The lovely touch of skin made him unwilling to open his eyes that were closed; he only tightened his embrace around the girl in his arms, that cozy laziness making him yearn for the messy bed behind him.

Olivia’s eyes still held pity as her fingers gently brushed across her lover’s solid, taut chest, her fingertips afraid to hurt the scars.

On Leon’s body, the dark bruises, stark against his skin tone, looked like dye splash clearly on the canvas.

“Does it really not hurt?” Olivia carefully caressed them.

Those were injuries caused by Leon’s jousting duel with Canis.

Despite armored heavily and the resilience from the Boiling Heart, the head-on charge had still dented their chest armor, transferring a part of the terrifying force to each other.

The jousting spears collected after the battle had their blade tips crushed into lumps of crude iron.

“It’s fine, Kovis checked on me yesterday.

Only two ribs broke and he’s already set them back in place with a spell; it didn’t damage my organs.

With the activity level of the Magic Element in my body, such minor injuries will heal in half a month,” Leon reassured Olivia with his eyes still closed.

As if to prove his “relaxed” state, he began mischievously frolicking under the covers again.

“Stop it~ I need to get up, you rascal…

no slacking off, I have to go and train…” Olivia’s breath became more erratic, her eyes watery as they gathered a gentle reproach.

But the slight struggle and light shaking seemed less like resistance and more like a tender expression of love.

After all, if she truly resisted, given the disparity in their physical strength, Leon knew he couldn’t have held onto her.

Opening his eyes, he lowered his head and gently kissed the girl trembling in his arms.

How to put it, last night Olivia was initially so shy, but after clearly seeing the shocking bruises on his chest, her attitude suddenly turned unexpectedly proactive and passionate.

That “eager-to-learn” yet gentle behavior almost made Leon feel overwhelmingly flattered.

If he were to record that unforgettable sweetness on paper, Leon felt he might write without pause, perhaps not stopping until at least twenty thousand words.

Suddenly, with a roll-over and amidst Olivia’s soft gasp, Leon caught hold of the girl’s hands.

“Training?

~Let me take you for a morning exercise now ♪”

He responded to her with a passion that was no less intense…

Not until Azeryan’s knock on the door did Leon reluctantly look up, let go of his begging lover, and put an end to the morning frolic.

“Leon?

Are you up?

The Wolf Domain Army has sent envoys for negotiation.”

“So soon?”

Leon was surprised, but then he pondered, it was expected; under tight security, to lose a family’s excellent first heir on the battlefield would certainly cause urgency.

Not all noble firstborns possess martial skills like Leon had seen in others, such as Baron Eriv’s eldest son from the Thorny Flower Family, who had a refined demeanor, merely a knight in title, only slightly better than an ordinary soldier in martial arts.

A true Knight of Valor like Canis wasn’t easy to raise; Baron Gunnar would probably go mad if such a treasured son were lost.

“I’ll be right down,” Leon replied as he arranged the blanket for his lover and then swiftly got out of bed to dress.

“Get some more rest, my hero.

There’s nothing urgent outside needing your attention for now, sleep well.”

Leon prepared his spare sword, gave Olivia a word of reassurance, and then left the bedroom to rush to the hall on the first floor of the house.

Azeryan, Sir Redo, and Sir Marcello were already seated waiting on both sides.

Leon settled his sword on his high-backed chair and was about to order the guards to bring in the envoys from the Wolf Domain when Sir Redo suddenly rose and approached.

“Sir, I noticed a Northern Wizard was accompanying the Wolf Family’s envoy.

It’s likely they’ve come due to the ‘anti-witchcraft laws.’ Has your young mage been using any noticeable spells on the battlefield?”

Leon looked surprised as he responded, “Laws?

What laws?”

He frowned slightly, the name sounded ominous—did it mean that the Northern Kingdom banned the use of magic?

Yet Kovis used magic every day in front of everyone, and Mr.

Brian Sr.

had never mentioned such a thing.

“Ah?

You don’t know about the anti-witchcraft laws?” Sir Redo was also taken aback.

He had thought that Leon had already planned how to circumvent these laws or exploit their loopholes, given how the young mage had blatantly helped the army with magic.

“Forgive my ignorance, Sir Redo, I am Seryan and have only recently sworn allegiance to Baron Eriv to become a knight of Orland.

What exactly does this law entail?” Leon asked directly.

Sir Redo then realized that Leon wasn’t a native of Orland and started explaining, “Since the war more than a decade ago, when we overthrew the previous tyrant, our current King Lydwen enforced a decree upon his ascension that prohibits spellcasters from researching and using any magic for evil purposes like spreading plagues, desecrating the dead, etc., on Orland’s land.

Also, wizards are not allowed to assist any party in wars or conflicts among Orland nobles.

Violators will be given corresponding punishment depending on the severity of the situation.”
