Chapter 399: 395 Unease And Ranting

"Hmm hmm hmm…" Eli's voice sounded in the serene living room as she sang Little Han a lullaby.

Sitting on her favorite couch which was facing the moon that could be seen through the window, she looked dazed as she caressed Little Han, sleeping in her bosom comfortably.

"Nervous?" Suddenly a low masculine voice came from behind her, then a pair of large yet warm hands worked on the side of her temples giving her a head massage.

"Hmnn…" Eli closed her eyes as she answered, Leon's head massage was another addition to her list of things that made her eager to go home.

Feeling her body relax as she enjoys Leon's sweet act of service, Eli rests her head completely on the couch.

For a second, she opened her eyes to lock on Leon's crystal blue eyes as she continued,  "I'm thinking of Kazimir's comment earlier…"

"Don't mind about Kazimir's words…" Leon's hands paused, he bent over and gave a light fluttery kiss on Eli's forehead.

The way Eli looked at him made his heart stir aggressively. He would always be lost in her dark midnight eyes.

Ever since they got engaged, although they were both busy with their work and had to fulfill their role as parents to Little Han, Leon could see that Eli was getting more and more comfortable with the two of them getting intimate.

Back then, Eli was like an unattainable flower.

A friend to all but aloof to romance.

Wise in life but awkward in love.

She is easy to make others feel comfortable, yet she herself struggles to open up to others, especially to him.

Now, their relationship is getting better and better, as they both excel in their own fields and even as they both get used to the life of being working parents.

But one thing has made Leon impatient and dissatisfied.

The more Eli acted like this, the more he was grumbling about how he could not marry her immediately.

So that he could do all he wanted with his wife!

"You're grumpy again." Eli chuckled as she opened her eyes once more to find out why Leon no longer continued his massage. As Little Han was already secured in her lap, she lifted her hand and caressed Leon's face gently to soothe his mood.

After kissing her, Leon pouted impatiently as he looked aggrieved about their situation. In fact, Eli knew Leon's struggle all along.

The first time she met Leon, she thought that Leon was too naive to even seriously suggest that they marry with love as if it was so easily obtained.

Then one day, Leon came knocking at her door, courting her so foolishly because she believed Wisey's 'dating lessons'.

From that Leon turned into a kind of man that is careful, gentle, and thoughtful towards her and Little Han.

And as a romantic partner, he too was not lacking in making her feel that she is wanted and loved.

Eli knew that Leon wanted to take their relationship to the next level, and she sympathized with that too. For they are a couple who did not follow the typical process of courting.

The baby came first before they even realized each other's feelings. Eli could only journey with Leon patiently on this unique road, holding his hands at times he was feeling impatient and frustrated.

"Sometimes, I want to curse those who thought of the Grand Tournament and even the people at the Main Temple… They were really giving us a hard time.." Leon sighed as he held the hand that caressed his cheeks.

He turned his hand and kissed it warmly. The warm breath of his nose tickled Eli's senses and made her heart flutter.

"We can marry as soon as they go back to their homeland, I guess?" Eli smiled and even teased Leon.

"I hate the imperial law… we could have just become husband and wife that day in the temple if not for the restriction…" Leon continued to grumble and rant. But Eli only smiled and held his hand, she would listen to his frustration patiently, like how he does with her.

The reason why they could not hold the wedding right away was that they must accomplish the Imperial wedding rites before actually getting married.

Eli continued to caress his face as Leon rested his chin on the headrest of the couch. In that way, Eli could just turn her head sideways and clean a few inches closer to Leon.

Out of nowhere, Eli gave Leon a peck on his cheeks.

Too surprised, Leon forgot the words he was about to say all he was caring about was that Eli kissed him teasingly. When he looked at Eli's expression, his love smiled mischievously, a rare expression that Eli would only show to him and him alone.

"You really know how to make me feel helpless…" Leon could only sigh while he dotingly rub Eli's nose in surrender.

"I love you. That's all I want to say." As if she was not yet satisfied to make Leon surrender, she once again professed her feelings towards Leon, making the other one become embarrassed like a young lady.

"Am I the lady or you are? How could you do these things so smoothly…" Leon looked away, hiding the uncontrollable expression of shyness behind his hand, but then, his flushing pink ears gave it all away.

Eli could only let out a chuckle as she gently stood up, carrying Little Han in her arms. Even after their bickering, Little Han remained fast asleep because Eli and Leon maintained a low voice to not disturb his sleep.

"Come, my love, let's rest for the night. Tomorrow might be the start of the long battle ahead." Eli called Leon to finally prepare to retire for the night. The visitors may come as early as tomorrow and so, she was worried that Leon would not have an opportunity to sleep as soon as the event started.

"En.. I'll follow you in a bit." Leon smiled and gestured to her to go on first.

Eli did not insist, for she thought that Leon might have to secretly meet his men first before rest.

Stepping outside the peaceful cottage, Leon was indeed meeting someone, but it was not a member of the Blades.

Instead, it was actually one of his contracted familiars, the Spatial beast.

He conjured a portal and entered the void space.

The void space was actually a dimension that belonged neither to the surface nor to the heavenly realm. However, it was still definitely a part of Prasinos as it was a place that is maintained and governed by the very same type of mana that was used on the surface.

Leon walked straight to the pathway, not minding the dancing spatial fairies around the void space which looked like colorful galaxies.

There were many stars in the void space, but Leon continued to walk to approach a certain star. "Contractor, you are here… How could you find me so easily…"

The star that emitted the weakest light started to twinkle as the voice spoke.

"You know that I can feel your presence even if you disguise yourself." Leon calmly answered. Only then did the little star shined brightly and materialized into a small child that looked playful and mischievous.

Contrary to what the people witnessed during the war, the spatial king was actually this young looking!

But only Leon, as his contractor, knew his true form. On the outside, people would always think that he is a mysterious ancient being that was impossible to contract.

"Hmm.. so cold… My master is so cold. After letting me and my subjects work hard, he would not even play with me!" The Spatial King pouted aggrievedly and stumped his feet.

Leon looked at his rebellious expression but he did not react angrily. Instead, he patiently gave in and said, "When my son is big enough, I can bring him here to play with you…"

"Waaaah! Master's son? Yay!!! Master is really good to me!!!" The moment the spatial king heard that Leon allowed him to see Little Han, he became delighted and happy as if he did not even feel aggrieved earlier.

"Tell me, master, what is it that you wanted this King to do?" He crossed his chubby arms and feet, and sat in the air, floating to see Leon eye to eye.

"It is just simple, I want you to send me the record of all the people who tried to illegally infiltrate the Empire through the spatial void," Leon ordered.

"Eh, Master? You knew that my subjects could not have known everyone's name in the surface right?'' The Spatial King asked cluelessly.

"I know, that's why you have to record their faces and mana constitution," Leon replied as he patiently explained to him.

"Hmm.. ok if it is the face and the constitution, my spatial army can record and detect it right away. Even if they are in disguise, they cannot conceal their real faces here!" As soon as Leon explained everything, the Spatial King understood.

Leon lifted his hand and rubbed the Spatial King's head.

"Alright, I will rely on you in rooting out the potential invaders. Especially those who wanted to sneak back to the Empire…" As he said this, his eyes turned cold and ruthless.
