Prime Originator

The following morning, Leon woke up with Lynne nestled in his chest like a little kitten, while the smell of their love nectar still lingered in the air. It had been one crazy night, where they both surrendered themselves to carnal pleasure and vented their lust on each other.

A shade of redness was still noticeably seen on Lynne's rosy cheeks.

However, it was not the result of physically exerting and exhausting herself from last night's battle. There was not even a speck of fatigue on her blissfully sleeping face. Whatever fatigue there had been, it was all swept away and only the vibrant glow of a blossomed flower was left behind.

As he watches Lynne sleeping contentedly with eyes filled with affection, he couldn't help but move away the few strands of hair overlapping her face behind her ears and give her a soft peck on the forehead.

Love was a profound feeling. It could simple, and it could be complex. It couldn't be explained in words, but nor was there a need to. One doesn't need to give reason to love and why they love. As long as two people enjoy each other's company, that was enough.

Life was simple to begin with, but people complicate it. Was there a need to?

Going back in time, he would never believe that he would have anything to do with the flower of the Cromwell family outside of the business relationship they shared.

However, by some twist of fate, they were brought together. Their story wasn't a romantic one that could be written down in storybooks, but he had to admit that she had already successfully left a mark on his heart, just as he did on hers.

*KNOCK*  *KNOCK*

The doors to the room was suddenly knocked, before a maid's voice be heard from outside, "Breakfast has been prepared, young miss and young master."

"I got it, thank you." Leon replied.

The shadows of the maid could be seen curtsying from outside, before she left. With how rowdy they were last night; everyone had heard it and the maid was too embarrassed to open the doors. The maid feared she might seeing something she shouldn't.

Lynne already had her eyes open by the time he checked back on her and it didn't seem like the look of someone that just woke up.

Leon pulled her cheeks and said, "If you were already awake, why were you pretending to be asleep, hmm?"

"Hehehe, if I wasn't asleep, you wouldn't have showered me with affection." Lynne said with a cute expression after being discovered and rubbed her cheeks on his chest.

Leon shook his head with a light chuckle at her answer and said wryly, "Get dressed, and we need to head down for breakfast with your family. Later, I also want to take you to meet my mother."

"Mmm. Okay~." Lynne nodded happily. Taking her to meet his mother was a sign of her importance within his heart. However, she was unaware that she wasn't meeting his adopted parents but the Queen.

She soon discovered something and said, "Huh? I broke through to the Body Tempering Realm 6th layer!"

She was pleasantly surprised to breakthrough to soon. It was getting harder and slower, the further she progressed her cultivation, but as a benefit of her physique, her awakener and divine cultivation was synchronized. 

Thus, she broke through to the 6th step Awakener Realm at the same time. Leon had also noticed that his stagnant 1st step ice abilities had increased to the 3rd step. 

"Mm, there would be benefits every time we copulate." Leon answered her doubts. 

They didn't have a divine grade dual cultivation method, but their benefits weren't any less than one. His five-element body was heaven-defying, and it was only at the initial level. There were more abilities, Leon could only uncover them slowly. 

His only regret was that he didn't have information to such abilities due to the incompleteness of the [Hegemon of Primal Chaos].

He started to suspect that it wasn't because the Divine Realm could only find the first part of the technique, but because the originator wasn't able to complete the creation of such a high-level technique.

When Leon finished his words, a visible blush appeared on her face. 

"Then... we should do it more often?" Lynne suggested coquettishly, but got bumped on the head by Leon, "Ah!"

"Too much isn't good for the body. We have to give it time to recover and stabilize our realm." Said Leon.

"Oh... alright then..." Lynne said disappointedly, while rubbing her sore. 

She wasn't such a shameless woman. She was still slightly reserved in public as a lady. It was only when they are alone, would she behave like a little nympho. 

Men weren't the only ones with strong sexual desires, women could have them too. They were just better at abstaining than most men.

The two finished dressing their clothes and headed downstairs for breakfast. She hadn't notice last night, but seeing Leon's royal attire, she was quite startled. 

Did he always look so good and charming? Or was this what it's like to love someone?

...

The moment Leon and Lynne sat down at the breakfast table, Bromley Cromwell roared, "Boy, you're not qualified sit here and certainly not worthy of my daughter! Leave my daughter at once and get lost!" 

BAM!

"Enough! He is more than qualified to sit here! Do you think you can reach the 8th step Awakener so soon if not for all the pills I sent you?" Dwight slammed the table furiously.

"F-Father... Those are two different matters! How can they be related in the same breath?" Bromley was startled by Dwight's strong reaction and said with puzzlement. 

"Hmph! Two different matters? Who do you think refined those pills? Leon is the alchemist, who refined them of course! His skill is even higher than those grandmaster alchemists in the kingdom!"

"This... How...? Impossible..."

How humiliating was it for the Earl of the Cromwell family to apologize to his own son-in-law? If he knew Leon was the prince, he would not find it humiliating at all.

However, Leon wasn't planning to make things difficult for his father-in-law and said lightly, "It's fine. I am not offended. There's no need for uncle to apologize."

He was not going to hold Lynne's father accountable for his disrespect. It would only make him seem petty and a small man.

Dwight did not continue to speak, since his grandson-in-law was quite magnanimous and didn't pursue the matter. He began to admire the boy more.

Bromley was unwilling to apologize, but he was also startled by his father's words. That brat was an alchemist? Thinking back to the pills he recently took; they were indeed of much higher quality than the awakening pills he used to take in the past.

He felt a bit grateful to the brat for giving him a way out.

Earl Bromley was under the preconceived notion that no one could be a better son-in-law candidate than the prince. However, after putting his prejudice aside and study Leon carefully, he began to see him in a different light.

The brat was indeed not bad looking and had a certain charm and regal air to him. Not to mention, his father just said this brat was better than the grandmaster alchemists in the kingdom. Although it was unbelievable that a 17-year-old could achieve such heights, the pills don't lie.

"Hmm...? Boy, your attire is quite peculiar… It seems like..." Earl Bromley said with a mild change in tone.

After Bromley said this, everyone at the table began to study his attire more carefully.

"Isn't this what only royalty can wear? How can you wear this, boy?"

Startled, all eyes trained on Leon's face after this was said. Leon continued to enjoy his breakfast calmly, before he coughed awkwardly and stood up. *Ahem*

"Allow me to reintroduce myself. I am Leon Crawford, the royal prince of this kingdom." Leon said and made an elegant bow.

Everyone's eyes bulged in shocked at his introduction, but quickly came to an understanding. No wonder he was so talented! He was the prince! They quickly addressed him properly, "Your highness!"

Bromley shaken and went one step further, staggering to his knees, saluted and apologized with utmost respect, "This one apologizes for his previous great disrespect towards your highness!"

It was not humiliating to bow to royalty.

"It's fine... quickly get up! I do not mind at all! Please drop the formality and treat me normally as you would a son-in-law." Leon quickly helped him up. He couldn't accept such formality.

"Right… right... a son-in-law… Hahaha! What a good son-in-law!" 

Bromley suddenly laughed heartily. How unexpected! How unexpected indeed! The person he despised for doing his daughter last night, turned out to be the prince he wanted to engage his daughter to all along!

His eyes shined at the prospects of his dashed dream revitalizing and actually coming true. Inwardly, he thanked his lucky stars that the boy did not hear his hurling insults last night.

Lynne couldn't comprehend why her father had been so hostile to her man and was quite upset but seeing that they were make amends and willing to get along after settling whatever misunderstanding there was, her mood swiftly improved. She felt proud of the man she had chosen.

Dwight looked at Leon with gleaming eyes, making the latter will creeped out. It was uncertain, what he was thinking.

Hazel had been relatively quiet with a faintly tiresome expression. She was a 6th step Awakener and didn't have the same stamina as her husbands. In order to comfort her husband last night, she also let him ravage her crazily.

Nevertheless, Leon and the Cromwell family enjoyed the rest of their breakfast pleasantly. After finishing their breakfast, Leon asked for the parent's permission to take Lynne out. After receiving approval, he bid them farewell and took to the skies with Lynne in his arms.

It was fortunate that the Cromwell family had an early start to breakfast, or he may have missed the time of the trial.

"Ahhhh~!"

Lynne screamed and hugged onto Leon tightly as they were flying. Her round white rabbits pressed against his chest and filled him with greater excitement. He flew even faster.

"Wahhh~ Don't you dare drop me!" Lynne threatened as she stuck to him with all her strength.

Leon hold onto her was firmly and laughed, "I would never!"

They arrived at the trial location shortly and found that the place was already crowded with people, while palace guards blocked them from coming too close and potentially affect proceeding of the trial.

A sonorous voice soon rang throughout the area.

"The trial will now commence!"
