In the room, Leon and Fiona sat next to each other, sharing breakfast together. Across from them, on the sofa, Charlotte and Iris, his other two daughters, also ate their breakfast, their unwavering gazes fixed on Leon, causing him to feel sowhat embarrassed.
"Ahem! My two sweet little girls, why are you looking at like that? Is your daddy so handso that you can't keep your eyes off him?" Leon joked, taking a bite of the bread in his right hand.
Hearing Leon's words, the two blinked and glanced at each other before turning their gaze back to Leon and nodding slightly.
"You are indeed very handso, Daddy," Charlotte admitted straightforwardly, her face showing genuine appreciation.
"Yeah! I think you're even more handso than before you started confining yourself in the room," Iris chid in, wearing an unusually serious expression.
Leon was surprised by their complints. He had only intended to joke and hadn't expected such straightforward responses.
"So, how does my face look different from before?" Leon asked with a gentle smile, rubbing both sides of his face.
Before Charlotte and Iris could answer, Fiona suddenly chid in with an excited tone.
"Daddy's face looks smoother and brighter than before!" Fiona exclaid, her eyes lighting up with admiration as she praised Leon, her cheeks puffing out like hamsters as she munched on bread.
Charlotte and Iris nodded in agreent simultaneously.
"Yes, Fiona is right," Charlotte giggled, taking a sip of her warm milk.
"Um! Right!" Iris nodded in agreent, a sweet smile gracing her lips.
Leon chuckled, affectionately rubbing Fiona's hair.
To be honest, he had indeed observed the alteration in his appearance.
Before, he had looked haggard, easily fatigued, and sowhat gloomy. Now, he radiated energy and vigor, reminiscent of his days as a sword hero before being exposed to the devouring poison.
The transformation was a result of the disappearance of the devouring poison within him, which not only sealed his holy power but also depleted his spirit.
Turning his gaze to Charlotte and Iris, who were still looking at him with affection, and then to Fiona, who was gazing at him with excitent, Leon felt a warm sensation in his heart.
With the return of his power, Leon vowed to protect these three little treasures of his from any danger that threatened them.
Even if an evil god were to rise from its seal, he would show no fear of protecting them. This was his solemn oath!
With a faint smile on his lips, Leon looked at Charlotte and suddenly rembered sothing.
"By the way, how did you manage the task I entrusted to you, Charlotte? Did you take care of your two younger sisters while I was away?" Leon inquired affectionately.
Upon hearing his question, Charlotte was montarily surprised but quickly nodded, her smile growing wider with happiness.
"Of course, Daddy, I fulfilled my duty and looked after Iris and Fiona attentively," Charlotte replied gracefully and calmly, though a hint of eagerness to receive praise shimred on her face, eliciting a chuckle from Leon.
"Excellent; you have proven to be quite dependable, my dear Charlotte," Leon praised sincerely as he dipped bread in milk and fed it to her.
*Hap!*
"Nyam~" Charlotte took a bite, munching with joy blossoming on her round little face.
This gesture from her daddy was an acknowledgnt of her, filling her with delight.
Seeing this, Fiona felt a twinge of jealousy, puffing up her cheeks like a pufferfish.
"Ehh! I want Daddy to feed too!" Fiona pouted, her lips pursed in a jealous expression.
Leon chuckled at her adorable reaction, unable to resist gently squeezing her round, puffed cheeks.
"Alright, open wide," Leon said with a playful smile as he took the milk-dipped bread and fed it to her.
*Hap!*
"Nyam~ Nyam~ Hehehe~" Fiona giggled happily, swaying her body from side to side as she munched on the bread.
Leon smiled, but suddenly felt a sharp gaze on him. He turned to find Iris glancing at him with a pouty expression, which made him chuckle.
"Of course, for my sweet little daughter, how could I forget?" Leon quipped with amusent as he picked up the milk-dipped bread and fed it to Iris.
*Hap!*
"Nyam~" Iris's eyes ford crescents, showing her happiness.
Witnessing the smiles on Iris's, Fiona's, and Charlotte's faces, Leon felt a sense of relief wash over him.
"I must protect this happiness at all costs, even if it ans risking my life!" he vowed with determination.
***
Fifteen minutes after breakfast, Leon sat on the sofa, sipping his coffee, while observing Charlotte and Fiona playing puzzles on his bed.
anwhile, on his lap, Iris rested her head with a lazy, cat-like expression, eliciting a slight smile from Leon.
"Don't you want to play with your two sisters?" Leon placed his coffee cup on the table, gently stroking her long, banded white hair.
Iris shook her head slightly and buried her face in Leon's stomach, hugging his waist with both short arms. "I don't want to play, Daddy. You've been confined to yourself for more than five days, and I haven't had much ti to spend with you."
Compared to her two sisters, Charlotte and Fiona, Iris felt that her relationship with her daddy was rather tenuous and not as strong as theirs.
Naturally, Iris knew that this was due to her previous tendency to stay away from her daddy and avoid him, even though their relationship had improved significantly now.
Upon hearing this, Leon was surprised by Iris's directness, as she typically held a more reserved and introverted deanor compared to her two sisters.
However, his surprise swiftly transford into a gentle smile that graced his lips as he looked at Iris, who was displaying her affection for him.
"I'm sorry, Iris. It's my fault for not paying enough attention to you," Leon said gently, his tone tinged with guilt.
Iris imdiately loosened her hug from Leon's waist and lifted her face to et his gaze.
"No, Daddy. You don't need to apologize. It was my fault for staying away from you and always avoiding you back then," Iris replied, shaking her head earnestly.
Leon couldn't help but admire this little girl for her mature attitude, which seed beyond her years.
"Alright, this is both of our faults; so, let's work on it together, okay?" Leon affectionately rubbed her chubby and soft face.
"Hehehe~ Okay!" Iris smiled happily and hugged Leon tightly, as if releasing all the emotions she had hidden in front of him.
Leon smiled and rubbed her back gently, cherishing this mont of peace amidst the looming threat of the impending war between humanity and the Demon Race.
