Leon looked at Odin with a mixture of resignation and disbelief. "You really want me to go negotiate with the Empire? Is this another setup?"

Odin, standing with a composed expression, replied, "That’s why we selected you, Leon. This mission holds significant symbolic value. The Empire needs to understand the strength of the Dragon Clan."

Rosvisser smirked, standing next to Leon, and remarked, "So, you’re truly letting him go?" There was a playful, yet slightly mocking tone in her voice.@@novelbin@@

Isha, Rosvisser’s elder sister, joined in with a smirk of her own. "Don’t worry, Leon. You’ll be fine. It’s not as if they’ll actually allow any harm to come to you."

Leon sighed, but before he could respond, a message arrived from the Twilight Tower Master. Claudia, a respected figure in the Sea Dragon Clan, shared the news. "Even so, it’s still a rare occurrence for the Silver Dragon Queen herself to endorse a decision like this," she said with a tone of awe.

Noa and Moon, Leon and Rosvisser’s daughters, had been listening in quietly, their expressions filled with curiosity. Noa, mature for her age, commented, "The council kept the details of the meeting brief, but the atmosphere was intense."

Moon, always full of energy, chimed in, "Entrusting dad with this big responsibility really shows how much they believe in him. He’s like a hero for the Dragon Clan!"

Helena, the young Sea Dragon Clan princess, added with excitement, "Yes! The great North Star of the Dragon Clan—the Silver Dragon King!"

Leon rubbed his temples, feeling the weight of the expectations placed on him. "I get that you all have high hopes for me, but do you really think this is the right decision?" He looked around, trying to gauge the seriousness of the situation.

Just then, Aurora, the youngest, tugged at her mother Rosvisser’s sleeve. "Mom, why does dad look like he wants to cry but is holding it back?"
