Iris had just had a tryst with Leon yesterday, and she was so self-righteous about it.

Maggie hasn't been intimate with Leon for two days, and Leon was late again today, no wonder she's got something on her mind.

Lyon sighed, realizing that this was the original sin of being charming—the sin of making girls so attached and yet so neglectful. He should reflect on himself and offer them more warmth.

"Lyon, Easter is tomorrow, how about we go shopping tomorrow?"

Iris hugged Leon, sniffed the air, and then made a happy suggestion.

She had actually smelled the scent of macchiato before, but it had been a day and was quite faint, so she only had a slight suspicion.

She was very happy that she didn't smell any strange odors today, which meant that Lyon's lateness was due to something important.

In reality, Leon had learned from the experience with Terena, and this time he used purification magic to remove the traces very well, leaving everything clean.

Easter is a festival celebrated by most intelligent species in this world. It is mainly to commemorate the myth that in ancient times, a large number of gods fell, the continent was in turmoil, and they were eventually resurrected in large numbers by the god of life, thus preserving peace and stability on the continent.

It is quite similar to the Spring Festival in Lyon's previous life and Christmas in other countries.

However, the thought of having to meet with King Horcia IX in private during Easter and be "treated" by him gave Lyon a headache.

At this moment, Maggie's eyes lit up:

"I've never been to the capital for Easter before. The Easter celebrations of the old school were very simple. They would just give out some food and do some prayers, and that was it. It didn't have the fun of a big festival that only comes once a year. I want to go too!"

Iris added, "My mother will be coming with us too, Lyon. It's just one night anyway, so let's get some rest and relax for Easter."

Chapter 255 Maggie: Is Lyon also having a secret rendezvous with Iris?

Looking into those two pairs of eager eyes, Lyon couldn't very well refuse.

Oh well, it's just a group trip, perfectly legitimate.

"Let's set a time then, but I'll have something to do and need to leave for a bit."

"Go ahead, as long as it's not a secret rendezvous with a woman, right, Master?"

"I am about to meet a world-renowned expert, but it's not some kind of messy thing, so don't worry."

Iris leaned closer to Lyon, twitched her nostrils, and sniffed again.

"What, do I smell bad?"

Lyon asked curiously.

"No, I suddenly feel that you are very clean today, which is different from the past few days. The past few days you always had some unpleasant smell."

Iris looked thoughtful.

A glint of light flashed in Machiru's eyes.

Judging from Iris's appearance, she actually saw Lyon a few days ago?

Doesn't he only meet with me in secret?

Did Leon not only see me, but also secretly go to see Iris?

Just in case, she asked casually:

"Iris, what were those days a few days ago?"

Iris's heart skipped a beat; she had let something slip.

Lyon was also taken aback. Goodness, do these two often let slip things in their daily lives?

Just as I was about to say something to make amends...

Iris turned her head away and scoffed, "Do I need to explain this to you? Can't you even calculate something this simple?"

Her domineering demeanor made Machiru suspicious. Could it be that when she said "a few days ago," she meant the day she left the dungeon?

Lyon secretly praised Iris, noting that she still knew how to keep secrets at crucial moments.

Her feelings were similar to Maggie's; she mainly felt a sense of exclusivity and didn't want others to hear too much, so she chose to keep it a secret.

However, this suspicion is still a seed, and hopefully it won't erupt too soon.

Leon just wants to raise the favorability rating high enough before unleashing his attack; that way, the situation should be more under control. Yes, it should be.

……

Since both Maggie and Iris were there, Leon couldn't ask anyone for the qw on his own, so he had to rush to Terena's house after agreeing to the Easter shopping trip.

When Leon's shadow flickered at Terena's doorstep, he was surprised to find Langley and Terena waiting there.

That makes sense, though. Ophimosa has been back for an hour or so, so it's normal for Langley, as a member of her direct legion, to be home now.

He thought Terena wouldn't wait for him anymore, since he was even later than usual this time.

"You two weren't waiting for me, were you?"

After appearing, Lyon greeted him with a smile.

When Langley noticed the extra shadow on the ground, she already had a guess, and when she saw Leon leap out, she immediately showed a look of surprise:

"Your Excellency Lyon, it's been a long time."

At this moment, Langley changed into a casual home outfit. The sun was now fully out, and she stood in the dazzling halo of light from the corridor window, holding Terena's hand with her left. A light blue down dress covered her long legs, revealing her fair and strong ankle muscles at the hem.

Her long, golden hair was completely different from before, cascading down her shoulders and shimmering in the sunlight. Her dark pupils were slightly sunken, and her eyes held a smile, softening her otherwise strong features.

Langley, dressed in casual clothes, exudes a more feminine charm than when she's in her knightly attire.

Her overall appearance was slightly inferior to that of Ophimosa and Britta, and even her daughter had a much more refined and lovely aura and delicate features than her.

But Langley is still a captivating woman; after all, the likes of Ophimasso and Britta represent the pinnacle of human beauty.

With such an outfit, walking down the street, she would inevitably attract many men who would try to strike up a conversation.

No wonder Terena said that many men would have designs on her; her looks would make her a stunning young woman anywhere.

Fair skin, beautiful face, big perky buttocks, round shoulders, smooth legs, and a slender waist.

She possesses both the vigor of a young girl and the maturity of a woman who has grown up after raising her daughter.

This blend of sensations easily arouses the lust of all kinds of men.

Lyon then exclaimed, "I never expected to see Miss Langley in such a beautiful light today; it's a delightful surprise. By the way, did you just leave the dungeon this morning?"

"Indeed, Your Excellency has keen insight; you must have discerned it from subtle clues, right?"

Langley gazed at Leon with a sweet smile on her face.

Terena glanced at her mother, who usually glared at others with disdain, and pursed her lips, but she didn't interrupt and waited patiently.

"It's nothing. Miss Langley, why are you standing here at the door today? Are you waiting for me? If so, then I'm sorry."

“You don’t need to do that. I heard from little Terena that you’ve been carefully instructing her in magic. You don’t mind that her talent is shallow, and you even specially prepared meat from powerful monsters. I’m grateful for all these kindnesses. Waiting a little while is nothing at all.”

Then Langley made an inviting gesture and said:

"Although my humble abode is simple, I have prepared some refreshments. Would you like to come in and have a seat, and then head over to my father's library?"

"No need, it's already late. Shall I take Terena directly there?"

“Alright, studies are important too. I'm very relieved to leave little Terena in your care... Little Terena, go ahead, didn't you keep saying you wouldn't go unless Lord Lyon came?”

Terena was speechless at her mother's words. Her cool little face curled into a helpless click of the tongue as she took small steps toward Lyon.

Just as Leon picked up Terena and sat her on his shoulder, preparing to teleport away.

"Oh, right."

Langley called out to Leon.

She hesitated, then finally made up her mind and asked:

"Tomorrow is Easter. I don't plan to go to my father's place tomorrow night. I'll cook some simple home-cooked meals with little Terena to celebrate the holiday. Lord Lyon is probably spending it alone as well. Would you like to come and celebrate Easter with me?"

Lyon was speechless. Why was it Easter again?

Should I refuse?

After all, he had already made plans to go out with Iris and the others, and Ophimasso was also arranging for himself to meet the legendary Horcia IX in his private attire.

However, I did not actually book dinner for tomorrow; I only planned to visit the festival activities.

Of course, under normal circumstances, he would simply eat monster meat by himself.

At that moment, he noticed Terena's small hand grabbing his collar and gently tugging at it.

Lyon turned his head and saw Therina whispering:

"Please, please grant Mother's request."

This was the first time Therina had used such a pleading tone.

Lyon's eyes asked, 'Why?'

Terena, as expected, understood Leon's look and said:

"It's just dinner together, I won't bother you with anything else, please. I won't object to anything you ask me to do in the future."

This child seems to not want Langley to spend Easter alone.

At that moment, Leon understood Therina's feelings.

Since Langley's social circle consisted of few aristocratic women she was close to, and she was unmarried, it was impossible for her to be alone with a strange man.

So, thinking back, I've already endured many lonely and quiet holidays, and it must have taken a lot of mental preparation for me to muster the courage to extend an invitation today.

Therena could clearly also 'feel' this rare feeling of 'loneliness'.

No, it should be said that it was precisely Langley's intense emotions that allowed Terena to sense and understand them over such a long period of time.

This made Leon suddenly realize a key point: if he wanted to cultivate Terena's emotional perception, he probably had to start with Langley.

Lyon gradually began to figure out how to complete the task of "Brilliant Life".

Since that's the case, let's take this opportunity to push things forward.

Thinking of this, Leon smiled and patted Terena's head, saying:

“I understand what you mean, but you don’t need to use this kind of excuse to beg me in the future. As long as the reason is appropriate, I will not refuse. However, I do have something to do during Easter. How about this, we’ll do as you say.”

He looked at Langley and smiled:

"Thank you for the invitation, Miss Langley. I don't have a dinner reservation either, so please allow me to come and bother you for dinner tomorrow, how about that?"

Langley's face lit up with delight: "Okay, I'll definitely prepare the most sumptuous and delicious dinner for you."

She rolled up her sleeves, revealing her fair, slender, and beautiful arms, her face full of energy.

Chapter 256 Physical Enhancement Magic

Upon arriving at the Cherón estate, Leon carried Terena into the library.

After landing, Terena poked Leon's thigh:

"Thank you for accepting your mother's invitation."

"It's nothing, I just need to get dinner ready too."

Terena stared at Leon, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"In short, I will strive to become the world's strongest magician, and then repay you!"

After saying that, he jogged off to find the book.

Lyon was speechless. He said that she didn't mention repaying the investment, but she repaid the invitation she accepted from her mother. It was clear that Langley held a very high place in her heart.

It's high enough to motivate her to become the strongest in the world.

After all, for someone with such exceptional intelligence as her, once a goal is set, she will most likely work towards it.

Lyon began his studies for the day.

He was currently only using Miracle Mode, and since he hadn't managed to get any Purification or Sharing Mode today, and ordinary spellbooks didn't seem to have any special effects, he decided to change his plans and look for any rare ancient spells to see if Miracle Mode would have any positive effects.

In particular, there are many ancient spells that can directly enhance the body, which may be suitable for Miracle Mode.
