My Love Debts Are Everywhere!

Upon hearing this, the four little girls immediately stopped eating and stared at Liliana in shock.

"Daddy's identity?" Charlotte murmured softly.

In an instant, her mind flashed back to an incident more than three months ago, when they had nearly been killed by two assassins.

Back then, Fiona had suddenly unleashed an incredible power, filling Charlotte with both worry and panic.

Fortunately, a mysterious middle-aged uncle had saved Fiona just in time.

Her mother had told her that Fiona's outburst was connected to their father's identity and had promised to explain it later.

However, more than three months had passed, and her mother had never mentioned it again, making Charlotte wonder if she had simply forgotten.

Now, with her mother finally bringing up the topic, her curiosity was reignited.

It wasn't just Charlotte—Iris, Stella, and Fiona also became incredibly curious.

Stella, in particular, had secretly speculated about Leon's identity, but she was still unsure and hesitant to confirm her suspicions.

Meanwhile, Liliana remained as calm and composed as ever, as if oblivious to the reactions of the four girls.

She casually pierced a piece of sautéed valley lamb with her fork and took a bite.

"You probably know about the Three Heroes, right?" Liliana inquired, munching on her food as she glanced at them.

"The Three Heroes?" Iris blinked a few times before giving a small nod. "Of course, Mommy. They are the archenemies of the demon race and have brought disaster upon us for thousands of years."

Though she was usually lazy when it came to reading, she still enjoyed history books—especially those about her ancestors, the Demon Emperors before her mother.

Liliana smiled and nodded approvingly. "Yes, you're right. They were a scourge and a threat to our demon race. For generations, your ancestors were defeated by them—including your grandfather."

She let out a small sigh, her smile turning wry.

Truth be told, she despised heroes to the core. Because of them, her father, grandfather, and countless ancestors had perished, plunging the demon race into chaos in every era.

However, after Leon revealed that the long-standing conflict between the heroes and the Demon Emperors had been nothing more than a stage—carefully orchestrated by the Hero of Mankind, Luminus Troya, and her ancestor, the first Demon Emperor, Amon Crimson, to prepare for the battle against the Evil God—her hatred gradually weakened.

From the first generation of heroes to those before Leon, and from her ancestor, Morgan Crimson, to her father, Gerald Crimson—they had all merely been pawns on a chessboard, moving without control over their own fate.

Hating those who had never controlled their own destinies was meaningless. If she were to hate anyone, it should be Luminus Troya and her ancestor, Amon Crimson.

"Why are you suddenly asking about this, Mommy? Does Daddy have anything to do with them?"

Fiona's innocent, curious voice broke the silence, pulling Liliana out of her thoughts.

She looked down at her little daughter's chubby face and gave a small smile. "Yes, Fiona. Your father is indeed connected to the heroes—or rather, he is a hero himself."

Her words landed like a bomb, sending shockwaves through the four of them. Their expressions stiffened, and they exchanged wide-eyed glances.

"Sure enough, my guess was right! Uncle Leon is a hero!" Stella exclaimed inwardly.

Her heart pounded, and disbelief was written all over her adorable face.

Ever since she first heard Liliana mention holy power to the middle-aged uncle, a faint suspicion had taken root in her heart. However, she hadn't dared to believe it completely.

Now, with Liliana revealing the truth, it meant her instincts had been right all along!

"Daddy is a hero?" Iris' mouth formed a wide "O."

It was hard to believe that the father who had always been by their side was actually a hero!

"A hero?" Charlotte furrowed her brows, deep in thought.

Like Stella, she had already suspected that their father's identity was connected to the heroes. Otherwise, there was no reason for their mother to mention holy power—a power that only heroes possessed.

Unlike the others, whose faces were filled with shock, Fiona's eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Wow! Daddy's a hero? That's amazing!" She exclaimed excitedly.

Since her father often played hero games with her, pretending to battle evil demons, she had grown to love heroes and even dreamed of becoming one herself.

She had never imagined that her father was a real hero, and the revelation left her overjoyed.

Beside her, Iris stared in disbelief at Fiona's reaction. She blinked her round eyes before asking in confusion, "Why do you look so excited instead of surprised?"

Fiona, still munching on a nearly finished chicken leg, replied innocently, "Because Daddy always made me play the hero! And I want to be a hero like him!"

Iris: "..."

'You're a demon—you can't be a hero!'

Iris wanted to say it, but in the end, she held back. She didn't want to hurt her beloved sister's feelings.

"Since Uncle Leon is a hero, is that why Fiona has holy power, Aunt Liliana?" Stella inquired curiously, nibbling on a piece of bread.

Liliana fell silent for a moment before finally giving a small nod. "It should be, Stella. But…"

Her gaze shifted to Fiona, a complicated look flashing across her eyes. "Holy power shouldn't be something that can be inherited by those with the blood of heroes."

"Can't inherit it?" Charlotte was stunned. She turned to Fiona, sitting beside her. "Then why does Fiona have holy power?"

Liliana shook her head, her tone deep. "I don't know, Charlotte. This has never happened in seven thousand years. To find the answer, we'll have to wait for your father to return."

Stella, Charlotte, and Iris exchanged serious looks and gave small nods.

"By the way, Fiona," Liliana continued, her voice firm, "if anything is troubling you, talk to Charlotte, Stella, or Iris. And if they can't help, come to me immediately, okay? Don't keep your worries to yourself."

She was deeply concerned that if Fiona's emotions built up again, the holy power inside her might erupt like before.

Even though the middle-aged man had placed a seal on it, she couldn't afford to be careless. The last thing she wanted was for that incident to repeat itself.

"Okay, Mommy," Fiona replied with an adorably serious expression.

She didn't fully understand the conversation between her mother and sisters, but she could sense its importance. So, she had no intention of arguing with her mother's words.

"Good!" Liliana smiled in satisfaction.

They then continued their breakfast in a warm and pleasant atmosphere.

"By the way, what kind of hero is Daddy, Mommy?" Charlotte asked curiously.

Liliana was about to answer when Fiona suddenly cut in.

"He must be the Sword Hero!"

"Oh?" Liliana raised an eyebrow in surprise before smiling. "And how do you know that?"

"Hehehe…" Fiona grinned proudly, puffing out her small chest. "Because Daddy always made me a cardboard sword when we played!"

Liliana chuckled, remembering how Leon and Fiona used to play hero versus evil demon in the past.

"Yes, your father was indeed the Sword Hero, and he was very powerful," she admitted with a small nod.

With a gentle smile, she began recounting Leon's feats.

The four little girls listened intently as they ate their food.

Suddenly, a voice echoed in Liliana's mind.

"Liliana, I'll be there soon..."
