"Mommy, she's Fiona's new sister and Daddy's new daughter—big sister Stella!"
As soon as Fiona's excited exclamation ca out, Charlotte and Iris, who were sitting nearby, widened their eyes and looked at Stella incredulously.
"Big sister and Daddy's new daughter? How is that possible?" they exclaid simultaneously, shock evident on their adorable faces.
Leon, upon hearing this, felt like he might faint and stared at Fiona with wide eyes, astonished by her words.
"Fiona, what are you saying? Why are you talking such nonsense?" Leon swallowed hard and gave Fiona a slight glare, silently urging her to correct her easily misunderstood statent.
However, Fiona, not understanding his aning at all, blinked innocently and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong, Daddy? Why do you say it's nonsense?"
"You just asked her to live with us in the palace and gave her a na. So, isn't she your new daughter?"
After she finished her explanation, she pursed her lips in a pout and looked at Leon with a puzzled expression.
In her mind, her daddy naming Stella was equivalent to adopting her as his daughter, leaving her completely clueless as to why she was wrong.
anwhile, Leon broke out in a cold sweat, his face pale, as he heard Fiona's words.
'Damn it! Fiona, you're really going to kill !' Leon felt like crying but found himself unable to shed any tears.
He knew that if he didn't clarify things imdiately, Liliana would tear him apart!
With a panicked expression, Leon was about to turn around and explain, but he was suddenly startled by the plumting temperature throughout the tavern, causing the demons enjoying their lunch to jump in surprise.
"Damn! Why did it suddenly get so cold? Is sothing going on?"
"I don't know, but this temperature is freezing!"
"F***! My beer just turned to ice!"
Their confused exclamations quickly spread through the tavern, causing Leon's panic to escalate even further.
Turning around stiffly like a robot, Leon saw Liliana staring at him with cold red eyes and a thin, icy smile on her lips.
Witnessing this, Leon swallowed hard and was about to explain, but Liliana cut him off.
"It looks like you're really having fun, huh, Leon?" Liliana asked nonchalantly, her penetrating gaze giving Leon goosebumps.
"Ahem! Liliana, I can explain," Leon said, coughing slightly and attempting to put on a calm expression.
Liliana narrowed her eyes and fixed Leon with a cold stare.
"What more is there to explain? Isn't it crystal clear already?" She asked indifferently.
What she couldn't tolerate most was Leon being with another woman, which to her felt like the ultimate betrayal.
In her mind, Leon belonged solely to her; no other woman could lay claim to him. Not even Athena Hellness, the Dragon Empress, could snatch him away from her.
If necessary, she would imprison Leon to ensure no other woman could steal him away from her, demonstrating the depth of her love.
The sudden revelation of Leon having another daughter, however, enraged her beyond asure.
Had her three daughters not been present, her anger might have razed the entire Demon Capital!
Leon gulped as he saw Liliana's indifferent gaze, but he maintained his calm deanor as he approached her and explained in an affectionate tone, "Ahem! My dear Liliana, please don't misunderstand. Things are not as they seem. That little girl is a child I t on the street, and there's no father-daughter relationship between us as you think."
Upon hearing his sincere words, which appeared truthful, the cold expression on Liliana's face softened slightly, though not entirely.
With her cold deanor unchanged, Liliana narrowed her eyes and pressed on, "If what you're saying is true, why did Fiona claim you gave her a na? That doesn't add up."
Leon sighed helplessly and replied, "This is a bit complicated, but I'll explain."
"Then explain it now. I want to hear it," Liliana said, folding her arms across her huge chest, her cold gaze unwavering.
"I intended to explain, but not here. Let's find sowhere else," Leon suggested with a slight shake of his head.
Liliana quickly grasped Leon's aning as she noticed the many demons in the tavern staring and whispering, which was naturally unsettling.
With a slight nod, Liliana softened her expression and suggested, "Let's find a quieter place."
She then turned to Charlotte and instructed, "Charlotte, please look after your younger sisters for a mont. I need to speak privately with your father."
Charlotte nodded in understanding and replied, "Okay, Mommy. I'll take care of them."
Acknowledging Charlotte's response with a nod, Liliana then turned to Leon, her tone firm as she stated, "Let's go. I want an explanation from you as soon as possible."
However, Leon remained rooted in place, a flicker of concern crossing his face—a detail not lost on Liliana.
"You don't need to worry about Charlotte and the others. My personal shadow army is guarding them," Liliana reassured, her tone retaining its cold edge.
Despite her anger towards Leon, Liliana would not be careless enough to leave her three daughters unattended in a public place like this.
Relieved, Leon exhaled deeply and nodded. "That puts my mind at ease. Let's go, then."
With a nod of acknowledgnt, Liliana proceeded to walk out of the area of the tavern with Leon.
Watching the two leave, Charlotte, Iris, and Fiona turned their gazes towards Stella, who was looking down with an expression of embarrassnt and fear.
Charlotte leaned close to Iris and whispered, "Do you think she's Daddy's other daughter?"
Iris looked at Stella with uncertainty before shaking her head slightly. "I'm not sure, but it seems possible. Her eye colors are unique, but she does resemble us and Daddy in so ways," Iris replied thoughtfully.
Charlotte sighed softly upon hearing Iris's words, unsure of how to react to this revelation.
Their initial plan had been simple—find their daddy and Fiona so they could enjoy exploring the capital together.
However, little did Charlotte expect that their simple goal would unveil such a profound truth.
"Why don't we ask Fiona? She's been with Daddy this whole ti; she might know more."
Iris's sudden interjection snapped Charlotte out of her thoughts, prompting her to refocus on the present mont.
Looking at Iris with a slight nod, Charlotte turned her gaze towards Fiona and asked, "Fiona, is it true what you said—that she's Daddy's new daughter?"
Fiona nodded enthusiastically. "Yes, she's our new big sister and Daddy's new daughter!"
Charlotte and Iris exchanged glances, their brows slightly furrowed, before looking back at Fiona.
"In that case, can you explain to us how you t her?" Charlotte asked again, hesitantly.
Fiona smiled sweetly and nodded eagerly. "Of course!"
Afterwards, she proceeded to recount her eting with Stella to Charlotte and Iris.
Charlotte and Iris listened attentively, but the more they heard, the more puzzled their expressions beca.
After a while, Fiona paused her storytelling to eat potatoes from her plate, looking at Charlotte and Iris with excitent.
"So, that's the story! Yum yum~" Fiona exclaid with an innocent smile, her mouth full of food.
Charlotte and Iris exchanged looks of astonishnt and confusion.
"It seems like there's been a misunderstanding, right?"
