Vol. 1 Ch. 168

After dinner, Rosvitha asked her two daughters to stay behind and then solemnly said, “Noia, Muen, tonight I’m entrusting you with a task.”

The two little dragon girls perked up immediately upon hearing there was a task at hand.

“Mom, what’s the task?” Noia asked.

Rosvitha returned to the bedroom, brought out the youngest daughter, and carefully handed her over to Noia’s arms. Noia felt a little flustered, though it wasn’t her first time holding her little sister. “Mom, is this…”

“Tonight, your little sister will sleep with you to foster the bond between you three sisters,” Rosvitha explained.

Noia glanced down at her sleeping sister in her arms and nodded, “That’s fine, Muen and I have been wanting to sleep with her anyway.”

“Yay~ Tonight I get to sleep with Xiang Xiang’s little sister, so happy~”

“Shh~” Noia quickly lifted her tail and used the tip as a finger to gesture ‘quiet’ near her sister’s mouth. “Don’t wake her up.”

Muen nodded obediently, pinching her sister’s tail gently.

Rosvitha clapped her hands. “Alright, now that the task is clear, make sure to execute it well.”

“Yes, Mom!”

Noia settled her little sister in her arms and turned to her younger sister.

“Muen, let’s go.”

“Yes, sister!”

Dragon sisters, special forces (with kids), move out!

The two little ones marched out of their mother’s room in perfect sync, one after the other.

Leon sat at the dining table, nibbling on a piece of bread while silently enjoying the spectacle before him.

He noticed that Rosvitha had truly changed.

From the stern and serious “Lady Mother” who rarely smiled at the beginning, she had transformed into the “gentle mother” who could now amuse the children and engage them in various family affairs with her interesting words and gestures.@@novelbin@@

Although in the eyes of her subordinates, the queen was still the workaholic queen, privately, she had become completely different from before.

Such a transformation was indeed unexpected for Leon. In his impression, the Dragon Clan had always been a group of stubborn and autocratic individuals.

He hadn’t expected Rosvitha to undergo such a noticeable change in just a year.

Humph, see that, Mother Dragon? Compared to your Dragon Clan’s outdated and rigid educational principles, our human ideals are far ahead. Enough to take you twenty years to catch up.

And Rosvitha’s subtle transformation had also influenced her daughters’ changes.

Especially Noia.

Although the eldest daughter still demanded excellence from herself with high intensity and standards, she had long ceased to be as closed off as she was when Leon first met her, afraid to reveal her true feelings and emotions, only able to reach out to others through repeated trials.

However you look at it, this family was indeed developing towards a better direction.

Thinking of this, Leon sighed with relief, “The daughters are understanding, they know to share the hardships of life with Mom and Dad.”

Rosvitha, with her back to him, let out a cold laugh, saying nothing.

Leon was taken aback, somewhat puzzled by her cold laugh.

Was there something wrong with what he said…

Gulp… Why do I have a bad feeling about this?

“Leon,” Rosvitha still had her back to him.

Leon swallowed hard and shifted on his seat, “W-what is it?”

“The other day, defeating Constantine must have been tough on you,” Rosvitha said as she slowly turned around.

A seductive smile adorned her face, a cute dimple at the corner of her lips, her silver eyes locked onto Leon’s as she took slow steps toward him.

Leon lowered his gaze, focusing on her dainty ankles peeking out from beneath her skirt.

Her steps were slow, but Leon’s heartbeat quickened.

The Dragon Slayer radar buzzed incessantly.

Years of accumulated experience made Leon instantly realize what Rosvitha intended to do.

He slowly stood up, then circled around to the back of the chair, facing off against Rosvitha with the chair between them.

“I warn you, Mother Dragon, the book says after childbirth, it’s recommended to abstain from intercourse for at least two months, as it can cause significant harm to the woman’s body.”

Rosvitha raised an eyebrow, “What book are you reading?”

“‘Postnatal Care for Mother Dragons.'”

Wrong. He hadn’t actually read that book at all.

The “at least two months of abstinence” referred to human females, not beings as robust as Rosvitha.

Rosvitha chuckled leisurely, realizing Leon had poured all his cleverness into dragon slaying.

If he thought about it carefully, he’d realize that since she dared to make a move like this, she must have done some research on post-pregnancy health education.

For a being as large as a dragon, they could usually recover in about two or three days after a smooth childbirth.

“What’s with this ‘at least two months’ nonsense? I’ve never heard of it!”

“Alright, Leon, since you’ve figured out what I want to do, stop resisting, be a good boy.”

“You… You’ve seen my strength when I killed Constantine. Let me tell you, just because you’re my child’s mother doesn’t mean I’ll show you any mercy.”

“Aww, I’m so scared~ Dragon Slayer, please be gentle with me, okay?”

Rosvitha said with exaggerated playfulness, but then swiftly changed her expression to a mischievous smirk.

“Tsk, if you really had the ability you did when you killed Constantine, would you need to bargain with me here? You’d have knocked me out already and peacefully spent the night.”

Uh-oh.

His little scheme had been mercilessly exposed by Rosvitha.

Wait, wasn’t it said that pregnancy made one less sharp for three years?

How come she wasn’t just as naive, but even smarter than before pregnancy?

After failing to convince her through coaxing or reasoning, Leon attempted to appeal to reason, “This doesn’t make sense, Rosvitha. I haven’t done anything wrong today, why do you… why do you want to… to do this to me?”

But the queen just snorted, “Do you know how long it’s been since we played the game of queen and captive? Six months and seven days! Do you know how I’ve spent these six months?”

“You… Whatever you want to do, it’s none of my business! If a male like me can endure it, why are you, a female, so addicted?”

“It’s not addiction, Leon, it’s the queen’s desire for conquest.”

“First time I’ve heard someone describe submitting a homework assignment as an addiction in such a refreshing way.”

“Stop babbling. Look at how you’re mouthing off now. I’ve let you go for six months, and you dare talk to me like this. If it were any longer, you might even try to take my throne. So, I need to discipline you in time, to make you understand our family’s status.”

Leon closed his eyes and sighed in resignation, rubbing his forehead, “Grind the inkstone to kill the donkey, grind the inkstone to kill the donkey! If I had known, I would’ve left Constantine alive, waited for him to come back for revenge, and dealt with you then!”

“Oh? Since you put it that way, I might have to reward my guardian even more, don’t I?”

“…There’s no escaping it now, is there?”

The queen narrowed her eyes and smiled, “Very clever, my dear.”

With things having come to this point, it seemed he had to submit to tonight’s assignment. But even so, Leon would rather die standing than kneel!

With determination, Leon gritted his teeth and stomped his foot, pushing aside the chair between him and Rosvitha, striding towards her.

Before Rosvitha could react, Leon pressed her shoulder and pinned her against the wardrobe.

Rosvitha was slightly startled, looking into the black eyes so close to hers, her heart skipping a beat.

Hmm, after such a long time, she had indeed grown rusty, to be taken by surprise by this man.

“So, it’s the queen’s desire for conquest, the family status, and how you’ve spent these six months, huh?”

Leon held Rosvitha’s wrists, slowly lifting her arms and finally pressing her wrists against the top of her head.

Their faces were close, their noses touching lightly, breaths mingling, eyes locked.

Rosvitha’s eyes were seductive, continuously teasing Leon’s lips with her fiery kisses.

“So, what’s it going to be? What are you going to do to me?”
