My Love Debts Are Everywhere!-Chapter 512: New Day, New Spirit
The next morning...
Leon woke up to a heavy weight pressing against his body.
Turning his head, he found Athena lying on her stomach atop him, completely bare.
Her huge breasts rested softly against his chest, creating an undeniably alluring sight.
Her serene face, adorned with a faint smile, looked mesmerizing in the morning light.
"This woman..." Leon's lips twitched slightly before he let out a helpless sigh.
Yesterday, after settling into his new room, Athena pounced on him, and the two engaged in an intense battle.
Thankfully, his superior physical strength allowed him to subdue her.
However, exhaustion was inevitable, and he quickly drifted off to sleep.
Noticing the sunlight streaming in, he realized he had fallen into a deep sleep and only awakened the next morning.
"Good, it's still early. I didn't miss my training with the dragon ancestor," he murmured with a faint smile.
Carefully, he shifted Athena to the side and covered her with a blanket.
After dressing, he headed to the bathroom to wash off the sweat and exhaustion clinging to his body.
Fifteen minutes later, he stepped out, wrapped in a bathrobe, feeling refreshed.
"A morning shower after intercourse feels amazing," he muttered contentedly.
He glanced at Athena, still fast asleep, and chose not to wake her. Let her rest until she was satisfied.
After all, she must be exhausted from maintaining her dragon form throughout the journey to Eryuentium.
Besides, she must also be physically drained from their intimate moment last night.
Turning toward the wardrobe, he browsed through the clothes prepared by the dragon ancestor and selected a black robe he found the most elegant.
Once he had changed out of his bathrobe, he stepped out of the room.
...
In the kitchen, Leon found the ingredients fully stocked.
Meat, fish, poultry, and vegetables—everything was neatly arranged and ready for use.
Once again, guilt crept into him when he thought of the dragon ancestor, whom he had initially assumed had ill intentions.
However, since his caution was only natural, he quickly brushed the feeling aside.
"Hmm... what should I cook?" he murmured, rubbing his chin.
Back in the inner palace, he never had to worry about meals. Liliana always prepared his breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
And even if she was too busy to cook, Lyra, Celine, or the other maids would take care of it.
But now, such luxury was out of the question. After inspecting the entire palace, he confirmed that only he and Athena lived here.
That meant cooking and washing clothes were now his and Athena's responsibility.
Well, since he had been self-sufficient before living with Liliana, handling these tasks was hardly a problem for him.
Snapping out of his thoughts, he looked at the meat and vegetables before him and quickly decided on a meal to prepare.
He cut the meat into cubes and chopped the vegetables into small pieces.

Next, he filled a large pot with water and set the meat to boil, allowing it to soften.
He wasn't sure how the dragon ancestor had obtained it, but the beef available was jungle beef.
When cooked, it had a rich flavor, but in its raw form, it was quite tough with thick fibers.
To make it tender, it needed to be boiled for twenty to thirty minutes.
While waiting, he prepared the condiments and got ready to sauté them along with the pre-cut vegetables.
Thanks to his cooking skills, everything went smoothly without a hitch.
After a long process, two plates of sweet soy sauce stir-fried meat with vegetables were finally ready.
"Phew! It's been a while since I cooked for myself. That was more exhausting than I expected," he muttered with a soft chuckle.
He took a deep breath, savoring the delicious aroma, and nodded in satisfaction. Even after so long, his cooking skills hadn't faded.
Carrying the two plates, he walked to the dining room and set them on the table.
Then, he sat down and began eating his breakfast.
He had considered waiting for Athena, but she was still fast asleep, and he didn't have the heart to wake her.
Ten minutes later, Leon finished the last bite of meat and vegetables, a satisfied expression on his face.
"I'm full," he said, leaning back lazily in his chair.
In the inner palace, he would usually head to the courtyard for his morning exercises after breakfast.
But today was different—his training with the dragon ancestor was set to begin.
The thought of the training ahead filled him with excitement.
"His raw physical strength is incredible. I wish I could attain that too." He clenched his fists tightly.
Though his strength was already formidable, there was still a vast gap between him and the dragon ancestor.
That gap likely existed because the dragon ancestor was, after all, a dragon—a species known for its immense physical strength and extraordinary magical abilities.
Even so, he was determined. He hoped the training arranged by the dragon ancestor would push him beyond his limits and make him even stronger.
With that resolve, he rose, tidied his plate, and stepped out of the palace to meet the dragon ancestor.
...
Leon strolled leisurely through the palace courtyard.
Since Athena had already introduced him to the entire area, he was familiar with his surroundings and knew his way around.
"For such a grand palace, it's eerily quiet. What a waste," he remarked with a hint of regret.
Maintaining a palace of this size would typically require dozens, if not hundreds, of maids.
Yet, the place felt empty—devoid of any sign of life.
As he enjoyed the morning breeze and the serene scenery, the sound of approaching footsteps suddenly reached his ears.
Surprised, he halted and turned around, only to see a tall man with black scales covering his skin.
The man was clad in iron armor, marking him as a guard.
Leon frowned. He distinctly remembered that no one else was supposed to be in this palace. Even Athena had confirmed it.
"Who are you?" he asked warily.
The man remained expressionless as he bowed his head respectfully.
"Apologies for the intrusion, Fated One. I am a guard of the main palace, and I have come to inform you that the dragon ancestor is waiting for you in the palace grounds," he said politely.
Hearing this, Leon's wariness gradually faded.
No wonder he had never seen this man before—he was stationed at the palace where the dragon ancestor resided.
A faint smile crossed his lips as he replied casually, "Alright. Lead the way."
