Chapter 560: Chapter 560 - Conversations Brewed in Cappuccino
Leon had been mulling over this idea for a while. Leaning back on the sofa, he looked out at the calm swimming pool.
"I've decided to start my own guild," he said finally.
Freya chuckled. "Ah, so you've made up your mind at last? You should've done this ages ago!"
"I'd be truly grateful if you-someone very special to me-could help me with the endless tasks of running a guild."
Freya raised an eyebrow, smirking. "Oh, I see what's happening here. Look at you, trying to charm me into doing all the boring admin work you don't want to do yourself!"
Leon turned to her. "But I thought you liked the managerial stuff?"
Freya let out a soft laugh, giving his nose a playful pinch. "I do enjoy it. But I didn't do it just for me; I did it to help you."
Her expression softened. "But don't worry-keep up the good work, or even improve, and I'll be more than happy to handle the mundane stuff."
"Thanks," Leon replied with a grin.
"So, what's your plan with Elincia and the other members of the Ass Guild?"
"I'll persuade them to join my guild."
Freya laughed. "That's exactly what I expected from you, Leon. I'm surprised you actually decided to take this step! So how are you going to convince them?"
"I'll just ask them. I don't have any special tricks up my sleeve. Maybe it sounds arrogant, but I want them in my guild-so I'll just go for it."
"Nice..." Freya replied. "So when are you going to ask them? Right away?"
"No," he said, considering it. "I'll do it after I'm done with Moonlight Fae."
Freya gave him a resigned smile. "Well, you can thank your coffee for that. Now I'm wide awake, and you owe me a chat until morning!"
"Sure, why not?" Leon chuckled.
"Oh, I didn't know you were such a talker now, Leon. You've changed a lot, haven't you?"
"Not really, Ms. Freya." He smirked. "You might want to take a look in the mirror sometime. In our conversations, you usually dominate 95% of it while I just listen, so no, your point doesn't hold. It's not that I don't like talking; it's that you don't give me the chance."
"Oh..." Freya's eyes sparkled with excitement. "So, are you saying you actually enjoy our long conversations? And you like listening to me talk-is that what you're hinting at? Are you maybe developing some personal feelings for me? Remember, we're just colleagues, okay, and I'm way too rich for you!"
"Not much choice in the matter. Since you've done so much for me, this is my way of showing a little gratitude," he replied. "But don't make reckless assumptions-you might just trap yourself with your own words."
With a huff, Freya lunged forward to pinch his waist, but before she could make contact, Leon had already sidestepped, causing Freya to stumble forward. Laughing, he caught her swiftly, his arm wrapping around her waist to keep her steady.
"I think you're underestimating my reflexes, Ms. Freya."
"No, Leon, you're not escaping this-I'm not letting you win this argument with me."
"Well, you can try your hardest, but I'm not letting you win either."
Freya tried to launch another playful attack, but Leon quickly leapt out of her reach, darting around the sofa as they chased each other in circles.
Just then, the door to Lily's room creaked open, and she peeked out, watching the two with a
tilted head.
"Don't they realize it's already midnight?" she muttered to herself.

So, who's with me on this-do we need a "Leon and Freya's Late-Night Chats" spin-off? []
