My Love Debts Are Everywhere!

Hall of Gods, Throne Room...

Arshley sat gracefully on the throne, draped in a loose robe of alluring light green. Her delicate cheek rested gently on the palm of her left hand.

Her usually flowing silver hair was neatly styled in a bun, curling around her left shoulder, highlighting her blend of elegance and sharpness.

The white veil covering her beautiful face concealed an expression that no one could decipher.

Before her stood four men in green robes, each radiating a distinct presence. They were the Holy Orthodox guardians: Edward, Louis, Victor, and Adam.

The four stood in a line, their faces unusually serious, a rare sight for those who knew them well.

Arshley sighed softly, her cold gaze hidden behind the veil as she studied them.

"I'm sure you've heard about humanity's army's defeat in the Desert of Chaos, correct?" She inquired in a calm tone, yet her words brought a faint pressure that filled the entire Hall of Gods.

The four men nodded in unison, their expressions filled with respect.

"We have heard, Saint," Louis, Victor, and Adam replied together.

Arshley gave a slight smile, seemingly satisfied with their response. "Then I won't waste time re-explaining," she said.

After a brief pause, her expression turned stern. "The reason I've called you here is because of this defeat. The loss of humanity's army at the hands of the demon army is an unprecedented event."

"Fortunately, this news has not yet reached the people of the Holy Empire of Elysium or the Holy Orthodox. But I know such a significant event cannot remain hidden forever. Therefore, I order you to prepare for the potential chaos that may arise and devise a countermeasure plan. Do you understand?"

They nodded solemnly and replied, "We understand, Saint."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Good. You are the only ones I can truly rely on, and I am deeply grateful for your unwavering support," Arshley said gently.

Edward smiled slightly, then chuckled. "We are here to serve you faithfully, Saint. There's no need to thank us."

"Edward is right, Saint. Our duty is to assist you. So, feel free to give us your orders whenever necessary," Louis added eagerly.

Though Victor and Adam remained silent, their expressions clearly conveyed approval of Edward and Louis' words.

Arshley smiled softly, nodding in acknowledgment. While she was the true leader of the Holy Orthodox, she knew that without them, effective governance would be impossible.

Regardless of their status as superiors and subordinates, Arshley held deep respect for the four men and considered them family.

They then shifted to a serious discussion about the defeat of humanity's army at the hands of the demon army.

"I heard that the Demon Emperor appeared in the ranks of the Demon army and was the main cause of humanity's defeat. Is that true, Saint?" Adam asked curiously, his gaze shifting toward Arshley, who sat upon the throne.

As the Great General of Holy Orthodoxy, Adam held the highest authority over the Holy Orthodox military. Every soldier, from the lowest to the highest rank, answered to him.

Naturally, he was the first to receive news about the outcome of the battle in the Desert of Chaos, faster than anyone else.

When Adam first heard the news, he was shocked and found it hard to believe. However, given that it came directly from the spies stationed there, it was unlikely to be false.

Still, a trace of doubt lingered in his mind, prompting him to seek confirmation directly from Arshley.

In response to Adam's question, Arshley gave a small nod and replied casually, "The news is true, but also false."

Her answer clearly confused Adam, Louis, and Victor, who exchanged puzzled looks.

"True but false? What do you mean, Saint?" Adam asked, his eyebrows furrowing slightly.

Arshley leaned back in her throne and crossed her long legs, exuding a graceful charm.

"I mean, it's true that someone emerged from the ranks of the Demon army and was behind the defeat of humanity's forces. However, it's false in that the figure is not the Demon Emperor, but someone else," Arshley replied enigmatically.

"Not the Demon Emperor, but someone else?" Adam repeated, stunned.

Not just him, but Victor and Louis nearby also shared the same shock. They exchanged puzzled glances before returning their attention to Arshley.

"If this figure isn't the Demon Emperor, but someone else, then who is he? How could he possess such terrifying power, Saint?" Victor asked, his expression wary.

Arshley's statement was difficult to believe. If the figure was truly the Demon Emperor, Victor would be surprised, but not to this extent.

However, if this figure wasn't the Demon Emperor but someone else, as Arshley claimed, the situation became even more concerning.

After all, a figure capable of overthrowing the heroes and the entire human army, aided by Jim, Rain, and Natasya, must be extraordinarily powerful. Such a being would undoubtedly pose a great threat to mankind.

Arshley could sense the tension and worry radiating from Victor, Louis, and Adam, and she struggled to contain her amusement.

"Pfft! I appreciate your concern, but there's really no need for it. The figure aiding the demon army is neither malicious nor threatening. On the contrary, he's a kind person, and you all know him," Arshley said casually, a faint smile playing on her lips.

The three men were once again stunned and exchanged confused glances, clearly unsure of Arshley's meaning.

"That figure is kind and non-threatening? We know him? How is that possible? Why didn't I know?" Louis asked, his eyebrow raised in deepening astonishment.

Noticing the growing confusion, Edward, who had been quietly observing, sighed softly and shook his head.

"That figure is the person recorded in the ancient book I found long ago—the Fated One, Leon Kruger," Edward replied firmly.

At Edward's words, Louis, Victor, and Adam's expressions immediately stiffened, their bodies frozen in place.

"The Fated One, Leon Kruger?" Louis exclaimed, wide-eyed and horrified, as though he couldn't believe what he had just heard.

He vividly recalled Edward's earlier prediction, where he had spoken of a figure who would appear on the battlefield to end the war—Edward had called him "the Fated One," the Sword Hero Leon Kruger, who had been declared dead by the Holy Empire of Elysium.

Although Louis had initially been skeptical of Edward's theory, he chose to believe it without saying anything. Now that Edward's words had proven true, it was hard for him to fully grasp.

Not only Louis, but Adam and Victor were equally stunned, struggling to find words or reactions to the revelation.

Edward rolled his eyes at their stunned silence, folding his arms across his chest with a small sigh.

"I know this is hard to believe, but trust me, what I'm saying is the truth," Edward said casually.

He then turned to Louis, pausing as if contemplating something. A faint smile appeared on his lips as he suggested, "By the way, Louis, you're a seer, and your abilities let you see things others can't. How about revealing Leon's hero star to us? That should make everything clear, don't you think?"

Edward's sudden suggestion shocked everyone in the Hall of Gods.

Arshley, her face hidden behind her veil, seemed to brighten at the thought. Although she was already certain her brother was alive, confirming it once more wouldn't hurt.

Looking at Louis with excitement, Arshley clenched her hands together. "Edward's idea is excellent! Louis, let's do the divination!"

Sensing her enthusiasm, Louis didn't dare refuse. He nodded slowly and closed his eyes in quiet concentration.

*Whoosh!*

He cupped his hands, and a small spark of purple light appeared before him. The light shot upward, bursting into the sky and forming a vast star map.

The map was dotted with twinkling stars, each representing the fates of the living beings in the world.

Among the countless twinkling stars, two stood out as the brightest and most dazzling. They represented humanity's heroes: Luna and Valen.

The brilliance of these stars signified that they were safe and well.

Arshley gazed at the stars, letting out a relieved breath as her anxiety over Luna's situation gradually faded.

"Thank goodness she's alright," Arshley murmured, gently patting her huge chest.

While she and Luna often clashed, it didn't mean they hated each other. Their fights typically stemmed from both wanting more attention from her big brother, Leon.

Beyond that, they were actually close, frequently exchanging ideas and supporting each other like sisters.

Meanwhile, Louis opened his eyes and looked up at the star map in the sky. When his gaze fell upon the faint star next to the two brightest ones, his expression turned puzzled and uneasy.

"I remember an unknown star replacing Leon's hero star back then. But why has that star disappeared, and Leon's hero star returned?" Louis wondered inwardly, clearly surprised.

He thought deeply but couldn't find an answer. Finally, he decided to set his confusion aside.

Refocusing on the faint star, Louis furrowed his brow slightly and asked hesitantly, "Leon's hero star is still faint, Edward. Are you sure your conjecture is correct?"
