"Tomorrow, Athena will be coming to my castle."
The moment Liliana's words sank in, Leon felt as though he had been struck by a meteor. His eyes widened in horror, and his face went pale.
He quickly stood up, his voice trembling as he asked, "Did you just say Athena would be here tomorrow? Liliana, you're not joking, are you?"
He desperately hoped he had misheard and that her words were merely a figment of his imagination.
But Liliana's next statement was like a jolt that nearly made Leon collapse.
"No, I'm serious, Leon," Liliana said with a resolute expression. "Athena is coming tomorrow to negotiate a partnership between the Demon Empire and the Dragon Empire."
Leon's breath caught in his throat as he clutched his chest, his face reflecting pure horror.
He had hoped Liliana was joking, but her serious demeanor confirmed the truth, leaving him genuinely frightened!
