Vol. 1 Ch. 164

Several hours ago, upon receiving a distress signal from the Silver Dragon Clan, Isabella immediately organized her guards to come to the rescue.

But just as they crossed the border of the Red Dragon territory, they encountered resistance from the Scarlet Flame Dragon Clan.

However, the opposing side had no intention of engaging in direct warfare; they spent the entire time maneuvering around Isabella’s forces.

They were like a group of annoying flies—won’t bite you, but will drive you crazy. Despite Isabella possessing the strength of a Dragon King, she found no effective method to deal with these flies that neither fought nor retreated. The Scarlet Flame Dragon Clan stuck to her and the Red Dragon soldiers like glue.

Time was ticking away, and Isabella was frantic with worry. The situation was critical; the longer she delayed, the greater the danger to her sister.

A dragon in labor, even a Dragon Queen, is extremely vulnerable. Her two young nieces were too little to fight. But even if they could, Xiao Luo would never let them.

As for her brother-in-law… Despite his promise to protect Xiao Luo, Isabella had only sought reassurance from him at the time. This man, who had been in a coma for two years due to illness and was frail, might be able to handle some intellectual challenges. But expecting him to pick up a sword and slay dragons—wasn’t that a bit too much to ask?

Moreover, if Constantine himself intervened, her brother-in-law might meet his end directly. The more Isabella thought about it, the more anxious she became, and the more prone to mistakes she was. The Scarlet Flame Dragon Clan seized the opportunity, resulting in some casualties.

Isabella dared not withdraw too many troops from her own Red Dragon Temple, fearing it might be a tactic of Constantine’s to besiege her. If her Red Dragons emptied their nest, Constantine could easily raid her home.

Thus, the two sides entangled for several hours, until dawn approached. Isabella felt she couldn’t delay any longer. Even if Constantine raided her home, she couldn’t let Xiao Luo come to harm.

However, just as Isabella was about to rally ninety percent of her forces for a breakout, the Scarlet Flame Dragon Clan suddenly retreated.@@novelbin@@

Isabella didn’t have time to ponder; she quickly flew with her subordinates at full speed towards the Silver Dragon Clan. But as they passed the border of the Silver Dragon territory, she saw a familiar face—

No, not a “face” exactly; it should be called a familiar “head.” Constantine’s massive dragon head had been chopped off, one of its horns broken. It was hung at the border of the Silver Dragon territory, its scales gradually dimming under the assault of wind and sand.

Isabella could hardly believe her eyes. Constantine, the Scarlet Flame Dragon King revered as a hero by the dragons for millennia, had his head chopped off like this?

Isabella knew Xiao Luo’s strength; although not comparable to ancient Dragon Kings like Constantine, with the advantage of terrain and fighting on home ground, defending their home should be no problem.

But chopping off Constantine’s head… unless Xiao Luo had taken ten doses of a divine medicine like Dragon’s Strength, it would be impossible.

Isabella asked the guards of the territory who killed Constantine. The guard proudly proclaimed, “It was His Highness the Prince!”

“His Highness the Prince?… My, my brother-in-law?!”

Isabella couldn’t help but imagine the scene of her delicate brother-in-law soloing against Constantine…

She couldn’t even imagine it!

No, she had to find out quickly.

Xiao Luo, what kind of strange dragon did she marry?!

“I must find out today!”

“Hey there, little cutie, you’re so adorable! Let Auntie give you a kiss~ muuuua~~”

What Xiao Luo, what brother-in-law, this Red Dragon Queen had no idea! All she knew was that her three nieces were cute as buttons!

The Melkvi family’s mother dragon specialized in changing faces.

Leon quietly approached Rosvitha and whispered, “Your sister came in all fierce just now. I thought she had discovered our secret.”

Isabella was very clever; she must have seen Constantine’s body and head on her way here. A casual inquiry would reveal that it was Leon who killed Constantine.

But Rosvitha had crafted a “background story” for Leon, claiming he hailed from a disbanded and weak dragon clan. What could he possibly use to kill Constantine?

It would indeed arouse Isabella’s suspicion, hence the couple’s concern about Isabella discovering Leon’s identity as a dragon slayer.

Rosvitha stared at her sister and whispered to Leon, “She probably did want to ask you how you killed Constantine before coming in. But obviously, the attraction of our little daughter is much greater than Constantine.”

Leon agreed.

“Aw, little niece, why does your tail look almost the same color as Auntie’s?”

Finally, Isabella noticed the color of the baby’s tail.

She lifted her own tail, pinched the tip, and then compared it with the baby’s tail, holding them together for the estranged couple to see.

“Look, the baby’s tail color is similar to mine, just a bit lighter. If she grows a bit more, it might be almost the same as mine.”

The couple simultaneously lowered their heads, covering their faces, feeling a bit speechless about this situation.

The “whose second child resembles whom” debate that they had argued over for a full ten months had ended up like this! It turned out to be a victory for the aunt.

“Why are you two silent? Don’t you like to talk?” Isabella asked.

“No… Sister, as long as you’re happy…” Rosvitha said.

“Okay then.”

Isabella held the baby in her arms, gently swaying back and forth.

“Little darling, would you like Auntie to take you to the Red Dragon Clan? Auntie won’t marry or have children in the future. In a hundred years, you’ll be the next Red Dragon Queen!”

“Elder sister, hold on!”

Leon quickly interjected. If he didn’t say something now, their precious daughter might be swayed by Isabella’s words in no time.

Isabella gave him a disdainful look and pursed her lips. “Tsk, just kidding, look how scared you got.”

Isabella placed the baby back beside Rosvitha, then breathed a sigh of relief. She straightened up, crossed her arms, and scrutinized her sister and brother-in-law.

Rosvitha lay in bed, with Leon sitting by her pillow, the couple strangely harmonious. Isabella’s gaze flickered between Rosvitha and Leon, finally settling on Leon’s face.

Leon glanced around, then scratched his forehead. “What’s up, sister?”

“I didn’t expect you to be such a hidden expert, brother-in-law.”

After some cuddling with her beloved niece, it was time to get down to business.

“What do you mean, sister?” Leon sensed trouble and decided to play dumb.

“Sigh, brother-in-law, after you’ve killed Constantine, there’s no need to be so low-key.”

Isabella then glanced at her sister.

“Xiao Luo, didn’t you tell me before that Leon came from a disbanded and weak dragon clan, and he was often sickly? He even fell into a coma less than a month after our marriage.”

Rosvitha’s gaze dodged, with a hint of embarrassment on her face.

“Y-yes. Leon’s health… hasn’t been the best, right? Isn’t that right? Speak up.”

She lightly nudged Leon’s buttocks under the covers with her elbow.

Leon nodded repeatedly. “Yes, sister, my health hasn’t been great lately, and I’ve been taking medication.”

“Medication? What kind of medication?”

“Uh… I’ve been taking… uh…” Leon’s brain raced, recalling various dragon medicine names. But under Isabella’s intense gaze, he blurted out, “Dragon Kidney Protector!”

Isabella gasped, then shook her head slightly. “An ordinary male dragon from a weak clan like yours couldn’t possibly kill a Dragon King like Constantine, even if you ate all the Dragon Kidney Protectors in the world.

Besides, Xiao Luo is pregnant and can’t do anything. Why would you be taking kidney protectors?”

Step by step, the pressure mounted, with sound reasoning behind it. Rosvitha clutched the blanket with both hands, covering her entire face.

Though evading questions was shameful, it was undoubtedly effective! Everything was in your hands now, husband!

Isabella looked at Leon, a slight smile playing on her lips, as she leisurely asked, “Tell me, brother-in-law, who exactly are you?”

Already retreated to the sidelines to enjoy the spectacle, Noia & Muen thought: This is exhilarating, Auntie Isabella is still on a roll!
