8. Letter from Empire!:

Leo groaned as he peeled himself out of bed, his entire body aching from the night's...activities. "Damn those devious disciples of mine," he grumbled, eyeing the angry red marks that covered his skin.

After painstakingly getting dressed, Leo ventured out to his castle gardens, hoping the fresh air would revive him. As he sank into his favorite chair, he couldn't help but marvel at the lush greenery surrounding him.

"At least something around here isn't trying to thoroughly maul me," he chuckled wryly.

The tranquil scene did wonders to soothe his frazzled nerves. Leo closed his eyes, listening to the gentle rustling of leaves and the melodious chirping of birds. For a brief moment, he felt at peace.

Suddenly, a shrill cackle pierced the air, shattering his respite.

"Well, look who finally decided to grace us with his presence!" Alina sauntered over, Emily hot on her heels. Their eyes gleamed with mischief.

Leo groaned. "Can't a man get a moment's peace around here?"

"Aw, is our dear Master feeling a little worse for wear?" Emily cooed, feigning sympathy.

Alina tsked. "Shouldn't have pushed yourself so hard last night, hmm?"

Leo shot them a withering glare. "You two are the bane of my existence, you know that?"

The women merely laughed, clearly delighted by his tough acting. Leo sighed heavily, resigning himself to enduring their taunts.

Leo sat in the garden of his grand castle, his otherworldly visage akin to a fairy descended from the heavens. His milk-white hair and slender, graceful frame commanded an aura of unearthly elegance.

Alina couldn't help but admire her master captivating presence as she approached him. "Master, why don't we have another round?" she purred, before pulling him into a forceful kiss.

Leo's patience had reached its limit after enduring Alina's persistent advances. With a flash of anger, he shoved her back and landed a powerful punch to her stomach, augmented by the artifacts that enhanced his physical prowess.

Alina slammed against the wall, coughing up blood before falling unconscious. Emily trembled in fear at the maestro's sudden outburst of rage.

Leo straightened his robes, his lips pursed in a thin line. "I will not be toyed with, child," he said, his voice dripping with disdain.

Emily thought to herself, "Why has master become so powerful again? I think he is using artifacts that have enhanced his strength."

Suddenly, Leo knocked Emily unconscious and then used another legendary item that could bond anyone. "But it has a side effect - it uses 50% of the user's magic," he mused wickedly. He then tied up Alina and Emily with the artifacts and locked them in the basement of his castle.

"Now, I only have to deal with that pesky last yandere disciple, Chloe, who is also after my body," Leo said, his brow furrowing. However, his magic began depleting faster than before due to the binding artifacts he used on Alina and Emily. "Ah, the price one pays for power," he tsked, a sardonic smile playing on his lips. Leo said in my current situation I think I can bind Alina and Emily for week only.

"it is a artifacts that can be used above 7 circle but Leo is now only 6 circle that why his magic is depleting fast,"

After while later, The castle gates creaked open as a figure in a flowing black cloak swept gracefully inside. Her name is Selena, the Empress's personal messenger, had arrived to deliver a most important missive to the enigmatic Leo.

As Selena approached the throne, she was momentarily struck by the vision before her. Sitting regally atop the dais was a man of unearthly beauty - his hair white as freshly fallen snow, his features chiseled to perfection. Selena felt her breath catch in her throat. 'No wonder the Empress is so infatuated,' she mused, 'this man is like a fairy prince come to life!'

Selena delicately cleared her throat. "Ahem, ahem. My Lord, I bear a letter from the Empress LilyStarWell." She extended the parchment with a slight bow.

Leo accepted the letter with a nod, his piercing azure gaze unreadable. "I thank you, Lady Selena. I shall give this my consideration."

Selena bowed again, unable to tear her eyes away from the mesmerizing man. With great effort, she turned and swept back out of the castle, her mind still reeling from the encounter.

Once alone, Leo broke the Empress's wax seal and perused the missive, his brow furrowing slightly. "So, the Empress wishes to marry me and she also invited me to banquet ," he mused aloud.

Folding the letter, Leo rose from the throne, his movements flowing with an ethereal. Suddenly Chloe strode into the throne room, her eyes downcast. "Master Leo, I...I'm sorry about what happened earlier today," she murmured, her voice laced with a hint of shame.

Leo regarded her levelly, stroking his chin. "I see. Well, it's good that you understand your mistake. Don't let it happen again."

Inwardly, Leo breathed a sigh of relief. He had been dreading this confrontation, worried that Chloe's yandere tendencies would flare up once more. But it seemed she was willing to let the incident slide - for now, at least.

"Of course, Master," Chloe replied demurely. But beneath her innocent facade, her mind was racing. _In the future, there will be many time. I will get the chance to taste Master's body thoroughly..._

Leo eyed her warily, sensing the undercurrent of barely-suppressed desire. He would have to tread carefully around his overly-attached disciples.

With a serene smile, Chloe curtsied and exited the room, leaving Leo to ponder his next move. The game was afoot, and he'd have to play his cards just right to emerge victorious - or at least, intact.
