My Love Debts Are Everywhere!-Chapter 580: Let’s Have a Child!

Half an hour later, Leon and Zelda had finished their dinner.

Since Melissa had prepared a generous amount, they ate with great satisfaction until they were full.

"I didn't realize you weren't a vegetarian like Elina, Zelda," Leon remarked teasingly, wiping his lips with a tissue.

Melissa had served a variety of meat dishes, including lamb and chicken. At first, Leon thought he would be the only one to finish all the meat.

But to his surprise, Zelda enjoyed them as well—and with enthusiasm.

This caught Leon off guard. After all, Zelda was the Elf Queen, and like most Elves, she was probably a vegetarian.

Zelda took a handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of her lips. She smiled softly and met Leon's gaze.

"I used to eat only vegetables and beans. But after reading a book that explained the need for nutrients from poultry and lamb, I started to incorporate meat into my diet," she said casually.

"Oh? That's surprising," Leon said, raising an eyebrow slightly.

It seemed he had underestimated the Elven race's progress in science.

There was no denying that the body structures of Elves and humans were nearly identical. The only major differences were their ears and a few other small traits.

Their nutritional needs were not so different from humans'.

The two continued to chat casually, easing the once awkward atmosphere into a more comfortable one.

Zelda, who had seemed nervous and anxious before, now appeared much calmer—even excited.

Due to the limited entertainment options among the Elven race, Zelda often spent her free time reading books about history and the world beyond her own.

To Zelda, reading was not only an enjoyable activity but also a companion in times of loneliness and boredom.

Meanwhile, Leon was a true book lover, constantly thirsting for knowledge.

Since his transmigration to this world, he had read countless books, earning him the title of a bookworm.

The two quickly grew close, like soulmates reunited after thousands of years apart.

Before they knew it, two hours had passed. Leon guessed it was around half past two in the morning.

He prepared a cup of coffee for himself and tea for Zelda, placing them on the desk.

"Here's the tea," Leon said softly.

Zelda took the cup, savoring a slow sip.

The rich aroma of the tea leaves, the tang of the herbs, and the sweetness of the honey danced on her tongue, making her eyes curve into crescents.

"I didn't expect you to make such a delicious tea, Leon," she said with genuine praise.

Leon smiled serenely. "I do love tea and often experiment to perfect the flavor."

His words made Zelda's admiration for him grow even more.

"By the way," Leon continued, taking a sip of his coffee, "what brought you to my place? Did you need something?"

Earlier, he had let Zelda bring up the purpose of her visit on her own, without pressuring her. But as time passed, their conversation had drifted, and Zelda seemed to have forgotten about it.

There was a reason Leon asked. After all, they were simply a man and a woman with no established bond. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

If a maid or anyone else saw Zelda enter his room and not leave for two hours, it could lead to negative speculation.

Leon didn't care about his reputation. After all, nothing had happened between him and Zelda.

Moreover, he wasn't planning to stay in Elf territory for long—maybe just a few months.

But Zelda was different. As the Queen and leader of the Elves, any rumors about her could damage her good name and reputation.

Leon didn't want that. Zelda was a good woman, and he didn't want anything to cause her pain or distress.

Upon hearing that, Zelda's expression froze. She suddenly remembered she had forgotten the main reason for coming to Leon's place.

A wave of shame and guilt washed over her, causing her to instinctively lower her gaze.

"I'm sorry, Leon. I really forgot. I hope you're not angry," she murmured, nervously fiddling with her fingers.

"Don't worry," Leon said casually, waving his left hand. "Now, just tell me what you need. If you need my help, I'll do my best."

His words were like a soothing remedy, instantly calming the nervous tension in her heart.

Zelda took a deep breath, and the tension on her face slowly melted away.

Her gaze became serious as she looked at Leon.

"Since you're willing to help, I won't beat around the bush any longer." Her hands clenched into tight fists. "Leon, will you... have a child with me?"

Leon: "???"

At first, Leon thought Zelda was about to bring up an urgent matter or crisis—something serious that required his help.

As the Fated One, he believed it was his duty to support her and the Elven race in times of hardship. He had prepared himself to listen carefully and help devise a solution.

But... why was her request so completely unexpected?

Had he misheard? Or... did she really say that?

His body tensed, his expression frozen. Faced with such a request, Leon genuinely didn't know how to respond.

This was the first time a woman had so bluntly asked him—to have a child with her.

Leon's reaction made Zelda blush and grow nervous once more.

She fully understood how sudden—perhaps even unreasonable—her request must have sounded.

They were only beginning to get to know each other, and their bond was still fragile. Asking something so serious at this stage was clearly too soon.

But the situation gave her no choice. Sooner or later, she had to bring it up—otherwise, the Elven race would fall into chaos.

Clenching her teeth, Zelda forced herself to stay strong. She stood up, took a slow step toward Leon, and placed her palms gently on his chest.

Her clear green eyes met Leon's golden ones, which still shimmered with confusion.

"I know my request sounds strange—maybe even too much—but I beg you, Leon. Please help me... Let's have a child," she said, trying to sound firm, though her voice trembled slightly.

In truth, she was deeply nervous—her body even shook a little.

Leon didn't respond immediately. He took a deep breath, trying to steady his thoughts.

If another man were in his shoes, he might have agreed without hesitation.

Who could blame them? Zelda's beauty was nothing short of extraordinary.

Her figure was undeniably attractive—gracefully curved, with features like her chest and hips standing out in all the right ways.

It was no surprise that many men longed for her. And on top of that, she was an Elf.

For most, the idea of sharing a bed with someone from a different race might offer a thrilling and exotic experience—perhaps even for Leon.

But he wasn't the kind of man who let his desires rule him. He knew there had to be more behind Zelda's sudden and bold request.

Letting out a deep sigh, Leon gently placed his hands on her shoulders and eased her back.

"I'm sorry, Zelda. I can't do that."
