And this time, he was certain that his hands were brushing through the bare skin of someone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this time, he slowly opened his eyes first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hands were on Eden’s bare chest. His body was extremely close to the half-naked young man who was now sleeping beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, he didn’t understand what was happening. He struggled to understand. But as he stared at the scene for a while, he immediately got up to his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leo had panic all over his face as he ran a hand through himself. He was still clothed, so at least nothing he feared happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to his side and stared at Eden, who was still asleep. He didn’t have any bedsheets over him. His robe had almost given up on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All he had was his boxers that covered him up nicely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leo sighed as he ran a hand through his hair. And then he brushed a hand through his heavy eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t believe he had fallen asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gently looked around the room. The sight of the familiar confused him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was his room. A room he was sure he didn’t sleep in. A room he was certain he couldn’t sleep in. One he was sure haunted him every time he closed an eye in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had slept in it. Comfortably. And it was sleep he couldn’t even remember the last time he had. The most comfortable sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confused, he ran a hand through his eyebrows while looking at Eden, who was asleep beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He should be mad. He should kick him out. And he knew. But he was too tired for that as he slowly got down from bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He adjusted his clothes while he lazily made his way out of the bedroom. The hallway was empty. Strangely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was certain there were supposed to be guards around, guarding at least. \"Are they slacking off or something...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He muttered as he made his way to the dining room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was still confused while he made his way off. Still confused as to how he ended up sleeping so peacefully when he was certain he couldn’t with the insomnia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was sure the drug wasn’t behind it. He had been using it for a while, and he was sure it wasn’t capable of doing that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he sat down at the dining table, a maid approached him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get me something to drink,\" he casually instructed while still wondering how he was able to sleep peacefully in a room he was certain was haunted for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as the maid turned to leave, he asked, \"And where is Damien?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, I haven’t seen him all morning. Along with some other guards. It’s like they disappeared from the palace. No sign of them anywhere...\" the maid explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the maid left to get what he had instructed, Leo stared into thin air, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Disappeared?\" he muttered in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he guessed he had a lot to think about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, Damien actually walked into the dining room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was completely covered in mud water. His whole body was filled with dirt, and he reeked of the smell of it as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shocked at the sight of the dirt monster that suddenly approached, Leo ran his hands through his nose while glaring at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened? Why do you look like you spent the night swimming through the rivers of dirt?!\" Leo panicked at the sight of Damien approaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stretched out his hands, signaling him to stay behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because I actually did.\" Damien looked horrified. It was also almost impossible to see his face with the mud covering him all up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The floor was also dripping with mud as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\" Leo stared at him, shocked. \"What the good heavens happened to you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know, I...\" Damien wanted to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait.\" Leo stopped him, his hands over his nose. \"First go and get yourself washed up in the highest order. And come back and explain...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go...\" Leo said. It was an order, and Damien couldn’t defy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, My Lord.\" He turned and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leo slowly calmed himself down as he watched him leave. And then he called the maid to clean up whatever was left there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien had rushed and gotten himself washed up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he was standing beside Leo, who was enjoying his morning drink at the dining table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, what happened to you?\" Leo questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien started off by explaining what Eden did to him. How Eden had used some strange powers to trap him up and all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I couldn’t even move at all... I was just there...\" he explained in terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leo stared at him. \"So... how does that have to do with you looking like a dirt monster?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh. About that. Well, I don’t know, but while I was up there, I suddenly disappeared. Like poof! And suddenly I found myself in a pool of mud.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien continued. \"And I wasn’t even alone. I was trapped in this pool of mud with some palace guards. And all of us couldn’t get out till this morning! We tried swimming through it all night.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they explained, Leo stared at him. He didn’t know how that was possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t a fan of magic and didn’t really believe in power. So he didn’t know how to logically explain that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only magical person he had around was Eden. And he couldn’t say he was behind it since he was pretty much with him all night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or was he...?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So who was behind it?\" Leo questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I still don’t know. But there’s only one demon we know and have around. That wizard of EL...\" Damien said. \"He must be the one behind it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How sure are you?\" Leo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien blinked. \"I mean, he’s the only one with such abilities to do such. So it’s certainly him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was more than sure after suffering through hell all night.\u003C\u002Fp>",1021,"2026-06-06T12:26:44.149Z",1,"novelbin.me","d740abf21a2c67e7fd90ac201be325a63bfcd36ae55d9223fe39f619537dc6ca","bl-seducing-male-leads-to-survive-as-a-villain-i-chapter-63","bl-seducing-male-leads-to-survive-as-a-villain-i-chapter-62",400,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbl-seducing-male-leads-to-survive-as-a-villain-i-cover.jpg"]
