Chapter 74: A Warm Welcome (1)
At that time, Leon thought of something and asked Seraphina, his calm voice breaking the heavy atmosphere. "And what of Amelia? How has she fared during all this while I was away?"

"She has been well-protected," Seraphina said, her eyes hinting at emotions as she assured him. "The Viscount has taken extra measures to ensure her safety, likely due to the looming threat from the Deathbringer Mercenary Squad. Amelia herself has remained strong and composed."
Leon nodded, feeling relieved. "Good."
As they walked casually while conversing, they neared the estate's entrance. The grand gates loomed ahead, illuminated by the soft glow of lanterns. The familiar sight brought a sense of calm to Leon.
As Leon and Seraphina approached the estate, the darkness of the night was pierced by the distant glimmer of torches. The estate's fortified gate loomed ahead, a testament to the Viscount's need for security. Multiple guards stood on watch, their silhouettes tense and vigilant against the moonlit sky.
The guards initially stiffened, hands instinctively moving to their weapons as they noticed the approaching figures. The tension in the air was palpable, a silent readiness to defend the estate against any potential threat.
"Who's there?" one of the guards called out, his voice firm but cautious.
As Seraphina and Leon drew closer, the flickering torchlight revealed their faces. Recognizing the pair, the guard's demeanor changed instantly. "It's the Ice Queen and Sir Leon!" he shouted, his voice carrying through the still night. "Open the gates!"
The command echoed among the guards, who relaxed their stances and hurried to obey. Chains clanked and gears groaned as the massive wooden gates slowly swung open, revealing the well-lit courtyard beyond.
Seraphina and Leon continued their casual stride, the icy queen's regal presence radiating a calm authority. Leon, walking beside her, exuded a quiet confidence, his eyes taking in the familiar surroundings with a sense of ease.
As they passed through the open gates, the guards stood at attention, their expressions a mixture of respect and awe. Whispers of the Seraphina's power and rumors of Leon spread among them.
Entering the courtyard, Seraphina and Leon were greeted by the familiar sights and sounds of the estate at night—the soft glow of lanterns, the distant murmur of conversations, and the occasional clatter of armor as guards resumed their patrols.
"Welcome back, Lady Seraphina, Sir Leon," one of the senior guards said with a respectful bow. "The Viscount will be pleased to know of your safe return."
Leon nodded in acknowledgment, his gaze shifting to Seraphina. "It's good to be back."
Seraphina's eyes softened, a rare warmth breaking through her icy exterior. "Indeed, it is."
While it was unsurprising for Seraphina to return while since she merely watched the carriage out in order to make sure that they don't cause unnecessary problems for Leon... But for Leon, the Guards we're indeed surprised to see Leon come back one piece and uninjured that was completely unbelievable... They knew he went to raid a dungeon.
'Did he give up on the dungeon quarter-deep into it, there's no way he actually cleared a dungeon solo and returned unscathed right? Right?!'
With this thought in their mind, the guards were indeed surprised, whatever it was that was their image of Leon before it has all been cancelled out, they now knew that there might not be all to Leon than he let out. Right now, they were really anticipating the Euwen vs Leon duel that would happen by dawn.
But still, with his strength known and solid, the guards were more inclined that Euwen would win the battle... They can't just trust Leon to win because of just this when they barely know anything about him.
Meanwhile, Leon ignored the gazes if the guards and calmly walked deeper into the estate with Seraphina....
"Thank you, Seraphina," Leon said, his voice sincere. "Your presence and actions have been invaluable, don't worry about the 'reward' I promised, you'll surely get your 'reward' as I've promised ."
Seraphina blushed, feeling embarrassed as she smiled warmly, forcing words out of her mouth, "It is my duty and honor, master. I will always be here to support you."
Leon nodded, appreciating her loyalty as he continued on his way back to the house.
When he reached the door, he frowned upon noticing it was unlocked. With a sigh, he opened it and then locked it behind him.
As he turned to lock it, he felt a warm embrace from behind, a pair of soft milky breast with an erect tits pressing gently against his back, accompanied by a natural feminine perfume that filled his senses.
It was Amelia. Leon smiled, relishing the sensation and her thoughtfulness. She had been waiting for him, leaving the door unlocked for his arrival, then quickly hiding to give him a surprise embrace he adored so much.
Amelia's voice was playful as she whispered in his ear, "I missed you, Leon."
Leon turned to face her, his smile widening at the sight of her radiant face. "I missed you too," he replied, his voice soft.
Amelia's eyes sparkled mischievously as she grabbed him by the wrist. "I'm so happy nothing happened to you."
"You need a bath," she said with a wink. "I'll give you a wonderful bath. One you'll never forget."
Leon gulped, taking in her insanely beautiful figure. She was wearing a delicate lingerie set that accentuated all her features. The way the fabric clung to her curves left little to the imagination, and his heart raced as he felt a stirring of desire.
Silent, he allowed Amelia to lead him to the bathroom, the anticipation building with each step. The warmth of her hand on his wrist and the sight of her enchanting figure only heightened his senses, making every moment more thrilling.
In the bathroom, Amelia turned to him with a sultry smile. "Relax, Leon," she whispered. "Tonight, it's all about you."
The soft lighting in the room cast a warm glow on her skin, making her look almost ethereal. Leon's breath hitched as he realized just how much he had missed her. He could feel his heartbeat quicken as Amelia began to undress him, her touch gentle yet electrifying.
