Vol. 1 Ch. 70
Shut Up, Malevolent Dragon! I Don’t Want to Have Any More Children With You
A sonic boom exploded in the clouds as a silver dragon soared through the sky.
Leon sat cross-legged on Rosvithaâs back, cradling Muen, who had started to doze off due to waking up too early.
âWhat kind of person is your sister?â Leon asked.
âWarm, lively, talkative, cheerful,â Rosvitha replied.
Leon pondered for a moment. âSo basically, the complete opposite of you?â
Rosvitha wanted to refute but realized that she had indeed left Leon with an impression completely opposite to that of her sister, Isabella.
After some thought, Rosvitha added, âBut sheâs more cunning than me.â
Leon was surprised. âThereâs actually a dragoness in this world more cunning than you?â
âI spent the first fifty years of my life with her, so I know her the best,â Rosvitha said. âSo, you need to be highly vigilant around her. Sheâll use all sorts of methods⦠to mess with you.â
Leon chuckled, nonchalantly replying, âBesides you, I donât want to have any contact with any adult dragoness again.â
As soon as the words fell, Rosvithaâs dragon wings trembled slightly, causing her body to jolt. Then she heard Leon muttering, âIâve had enough for this lifetime.â
Rosvitha wasnât sure if he did it on purpose, but itâs always safe to be a little stubborn first. âDonât talk nonsense.â
Leon (innocently): âBut Iâm speaking from the heart.â
Damn cunning dragonesses, now they donât even allow speaking from the heart!
Leon glanced at his eldest daughter. âNoah, have you seen Aunt Isabella before?â
Noah shook her head. âIâve only seen Aunt Isabella in photos in Momâs room. The last time Aunt Isabella visited, I was doing physical training.â
âSo, youâre the only one in the family who has seen your sister?â Leon asked.
âIt seems so. Thatâs why my sister is looking forward to this meeting,â Rosvitha said. âAlright, hold on tight, weâre about to accelerate.â
Another sonic boom rang out, and the silver figure disappeared into the sky.
About three hours later, Leonâs family arrived at the territory of the Red Dragon Clan.
Looking down from high above, the Red Dragon Temple and the scale of the community were similar to Rosvithaâs Silver Dragon Clan, and the architectural style was very similar.
However, many of the silver decorations representing the Silver Dragon Clan were replaced with red here.
In the nearly identical design style, a few more features of the native clan were added, which was quite interesting.
Rosvitha slowly landed in the front courtyard of the Red Dragon Temple.
Her sister Isabella and several dragon maids had been waiting for a long time.
After landing, Leon, holding Muen, slid down from Rosvithaâs dragon wing, followed closely by Noah.
Before they could turn around, they heard Isabellaâs voice.
âLittle! Lo!! Your dragon form is still so handsome~â
Turning around, they saw the Red Dragon Queen, who had just been elegant and dignified, hugging Rosvithaâs dragon head tightly.
Rosvitha drooped her wings and her tail hung down helplessly. âSister⦠let me change back first.â
âOh, alright, you can change,â Isabella said.
Rosvitha folded her dragon wings, and with a flash of light, she transformed back into her human form.
âLittle! Lo!â
After transforming back, Rosvitha still couldnât escape Isabellaâs enthusiastic hug, which was as warm as a huskyâs.
From Rosvithaâs reaction and expression, it seemed that she was already accustomed to her sisterâs way of greeting.@@novelbin@@
However, what slightly surprised Leon was that Rosvitha was already a tall woman, standing at around 1.7 meters tall, and wearing high heels could reach up to 1.75 meters. But in her sister Isabellaâs embrace, she seemed to be a bit shorter.
Leon glanced down at Muen, who was about the same height as his calf, hoping that the tall gene from the Melkvi family could be perfectly passed down to their daughter.
âSis, let me introduce you to my husband and daughter. You havenât formally met them yet,â Rosvitha said.
âSure, sure.â Isabella put aside her playful demeanor, tidied her hair, and followed Rosvitha to Leon and the others.
âThis is my husband, Leon Casmode,â Rosvitha said.
Leon was about to greet Isabella politely, but she took the initiative to shake his hand. âHello, brother-in-law, nice to finally meet you awake.â
Isabella glanced him up and down. âIndeed, looking at you now, youâre more compatible with little Lo.â
Leon awkwardly smiled and shook hands with Isabella, âAhaha, Auntie, youâre really funny.â
âWhatâs with the âAuntieâ? Thatâs too formal~ Just call me âsisterâ like little Lo does.â
âOkay, sister.â
âLittle Lo, is your husband still not awake?â
Rosvitha lightly nudged Leonâs arm with her elbow.
Leon immediately changed his words, âI was just joking with you, sis.â
âInteresting, little Lo, I really appreciate your husbandâs personality, just as unpredictable as me,â Isabella remarked.
Rosvitha silently covered her face. âSis, do you even know that youâre unpredictable?â
After introducing Leon, Rosvitha proceeded to introduce their two little dragon daughters.
âThis is our daughter, Noia, and Muen. Sister isââ
âWait! Let me guess!â Isabella interrupted Rosvithaâs introduction, excitedly starting a guessing game about the sistersâ identities.
Her gaze shifted between the two little ones, and she pointed at Muen, âThis one with the cute little tufts is the older sister.â
âIâm the younger sister, Auntie,â Muen shook the tufts on her head.
âOh, I guessed wrong! Come here, Muen, let Auntie hug you~â
Muen was a natural social-phobe, immediately letting go of Leonâs hand and embracing Auntieâs warm and fragrant embrace.
âAuntie, how did you know Muenâs name?â Muen asked.
âWhen you were little, I came to visit you, and your mom told me. The younger sister is called Muen, and the older sister is called Noia,â Isabella explained.
Then, she turned her gaze towards Noia.
Compared to her sister, Noia was a true âsocial-phobe.â She nervously held onto Rosvithaâs skirt, hesitantly stepping back.
Rosvitha didnât force Noia to greet Isabella directly. She never pressured her daughter to address various relatives; she fully respected Noiaâs wishes.
After some hesitation, Noia tried to peek out from behind Rosvitha and approached, saying, âHello, Auntie, Iâm Noia.â
âOh, little Noia, would you like Auntie to hug you too?â
Previously, Rosvitha mentioned in her letter that Noia was a shy girl who wasnât very talkative and didnât like physical contact with others. So when Isabella didnât directly pick her up earlier, she was just asking for her opinion. Noia nodded, âYes.â
âGreat~â Isabella held Muen with both hands and gently wrapped her flexible tail around Noiaâs waist, then handed her over to her embrace.
Leon internally jokes: Convenient, huh!
With one dragon daughter on each side, Isabella was overwhelmed with happiness as she held them close.
âWow~ Itâs so blissful! little Lo, do you get to enjoy these cute little dragon daughters every day?â
âOh, Iâm usually busy, so itâs mostly Leon who takes care of them.â
âOh, okay, thanks, brother-in-law.â
âNo problem, itâs not hard, I enjoy taking care of the kids.â
Taking advantage of the situation, Leon added, âThe kids are more attached to me, actually.â
Rosvitha raised an eyebrow at Leon, âClearly, theyâre more attached to me, right?â
âDarling, youâre such a joker.â
âDo I look like Iâm joking with you?â
âOkay, okay, youâre right, theyâre more attached to you.â
âDo I need your permission?â
Isabella interjected, âWow, you two have such a great relationship.â
To Isabellaâs praise, the couple immediately stopped their banter and replied in unison, âItâs just okay.â
Seeing this, Isabella chuckled and said nothing.
âAlright, alright, you must be tired after traveling such a long way. Come in and take a rest. Dinner is ready soon,â Isabella said, carrying two baby dragonettes and leading Leon and Rosvitha into the temple. The whole family arrived at the reception hall of the temple.
Leon and Rosvitha sat side by side. Muen and Noia were still being cuddled by their aunt for the time being, and they probably wouldnât be let go until dinner was served.
âWhat does Muen usually like to eat?â Isabella asked.
âFried steak! Muen likes fried steak!â
âAlright, luckily Auntie has prepared fried steak for dinner. And what about little Noia?â
âIâm fine with anything, Auntie.â
âNoia is so well-behaved. By the way, Auntie heard that you started attending St. Hys Academy half a month ago?â Noia nodded.
âWow, thatâs amazing! Just over a year old, and already going to school. How are your grades?â
Noia modestly replied, âTheyâre okay.â
Muen stopped her from being modest, âSister is first in many subjects!â
Isabellaâs eyes lit up, âThatâs fantastic, my little Noia! Just like your mother when she was young.â
The keyword âyour mother when she was youngâ was triggered. As everyone knows, whenever childhood is mentioned, itâs time for a history lesson of embarrassment.
Even though Noia usually had a cool demeanor, at this moment, she perked up her ears, afraid of missing a single word her aunt would say next. So the main question now is, who will continue the topic of âyour mother when she was youngâ?
The two little ones, as if by agreement, turned to look at their father. Leon raised an eyebrow.
Alright, alright, alright, alright. What else can Dad do? Of course, Iâm here to spoil you guys, not because Iâm curious myself.
Digging deep into the dark history of this mother dragon, Iâm more than willing to oblige!
âSo, sis, how good was she?â Leon asked.
âHow good? little Lo used to get first place so often it became routine. I remember when she moved up to the adult department, she even went on stage as a representative of outstanding students to give a speech. Oh, I still have the photos taken of her back then, let me go get them for you guys.â
âEh, sis, you donâtââ Rosvitha tried to stop her, but Isabella had already put down the two baby dragonettes and trotted out of the reception hall.
Suddenly, Rosvitha had a bad feeling about this.
âOur sister is indeed quite enthusiastic,â Leon chuckled mischievously.
Rosvitha glanced at him, âDonât get too smug. Once sheâs done with me, youâre next.â
Leon shrugged, âI donât have any embarrassing history in her hands. Whatâs there to be afraid of?â
âDonât overestimate yourself, and donât underestimate my sister.â
As they bantered, Isabella returned.
In her arms, she still held a thick photo album, and her face was beaming with a smile.
It was evident that this was not a spontaneous decision; she clearly came prepared, dear sister!
A crack appeared on Rosvithaâs frosty face, âSis⦠didnât you say you were only going to bring the photo of me as the student representative? Why did you bring them all?â
Isabella hurriedly sat back in her seat and eagerly opened the photo album. âI thought it would be too troublesome to take them out one by one, so I just bought them all.
Let me see⦠Let me find it, Roseâs student speech photo⦠Ah, here it is!â With that, Isabella handed the album to Leon. The two baby dragonettes also leaned over to join in the excitement.
On the open page of the album, indeed, was a younger-looking Rosvitha. Back then, her face didnât look as sour as it does now (of course, that was Leonâs first impression). But for the two little dragonettes, their mom during her teenage years was so pretty!
She was wearing the uniform of St. Hys Academy, her silver hair tied neatly into a ponytail, radiating a sunny and cheerful aura that was completely different from the current Ice Queen.
âWife, you were so lively when you were studying!â Rosvitha turned her head away, not wanting to engage with this guy. A dogâs mouth canât utter ivory!
However, apart from being younger and more youthful, Leon also noticed an interesting detail. That was the dragon horn above Rosvithaâs ears. She had previously mentioned not seeing her own parents, which meant she was also a viviparous dragon, only revealing her horns when she reached adulthood.
Rosvithaâs dragon horn was cute and petite, making people want to touch it involuntarily. Leon swallowed nervously, glancing sideways at the mother dragon beside him, staring at her ears, his intentions a bit too obvious.
Rosvitha gave him a disdainful look. âDonât bring up any weird requests, thanks.â
Leon clicked his tongue and withdrew his gaze. But he didnât continue flipping through the other photos.
This is basic courtesy. Without the permission of the owner of the album, you can only look at the photo they handed you.
However, Isabella noticed that the father and daughters trio hadnât seen enough, so she said, âYou can flip through a few more pages. little Lo was really, really cute when she was little.â Alright, permission granted, letâs flip!
Thereâs nothing more satisfying than seeing photos of your archenemy when they were little; if there is, itâs that you havenât seen enough!
Leon and the two little ones eagerly flipped through the album to the very beginning, officially starting to browse, completely ignoring a certain silver dragon.
Sure enough, on the first page of the album, a silver-haired young dragon was showing off her lollipop to the camera.
âMommy was so tiny!â Muen exclaimed excitedly. âJust like Muen!â
To be fair, young Rosvitha did look like a silver-haired version of Noia and Muen. Although there was some adorable baby fat on her cheeks, it didnât detract from the delicate features she exuded.
Leon flipped to the next page. On this page, Rosvitha had grown a lot, probably around ten years old, already showing signs of a teenage girl. In the photo, she was practicing dragon fire.
Another photo on the same page showed her with a burnt hand after failing to control the dragon fire, and Isabella was bandaging her wound.
âWife, you and your sisters have such a good relationship,â Leon praised superficially but teasingly.
Rosvitha sneakily reached behind and quietly pinched Leonâs waist.
Leon, with a thick skin, patted Rosvithaâs leg, indicating her to calm down. âCome on, letâs keep looking.â
Flipping further back, there were various life photos and records taken over time. There was the first attempt at flying, with closed eyes due to fear of heights. There was also the triumphant moment of killing a dangerous species for the first time, proudly standing on its head.
However, the next photo was a hilarious snapshot titled âThis mother dragon who killed an S-class dangerous species but got scared by a spider and used advanced magic for its brutal eradication.â
There were many more photos of Rosvitha crying, and Leon couldnât help but chuckle as he looked at them, even though he didnât realize he was laughing.
How strange. He came with the mindset of digging into the mother dragonâs embarrassing history, but why did he suddenly feel a sense of âmy wife is so cuteâ?
Ah, whatever, as long as he enjoyed it.
The last photo in the album was taken on the day Rosvitha inherited the title of âSilver Dragon Queen.â Sitting on the throne, wearing a silver crown, the queen accepted the worship of her silver dragon subjects, exuding dignity and majesty.
Leon closed the album, feeling a bit reluctant to stop, just like the two little ones.
But Rosvitha, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, itâs over!
However, it was clear that after not seeing each other for a long time, she underestimated her sisterâs level of cunningness.
How could she miss the chance to express some sisterly love fiercely, now that they were reunited as a family for the first time in a long time?
These were just appetizers!
After the album session, Isabella pulled out a crystal ball from behind the sofa.
âAuntie, Auntie, whatâs this?â Muen asked excitedly.
Leon raised his hand. âI know, this is called a Memory Stone!â
Wow, he really knew it!
âYes, itâs called a Memory Stone. Finally, we have the chance to watch it together as a family. little Lo, you must miss it too, right?â
The three dragons and one human all looked at Rosvitha.
This was the day since she became the Silver Dragon Queen that she wanted to find a hole to hide in the most. Her icy demeanor was finally breaking!
Rosvitha even said with a hint of pleading, âSis⦠please, for the sake of me being your real little sister, donât show whatâs inside.â
âSis, I also beg you, for the sake of me being your real brother-in-law, you must show us whatâs inside!â Leon couldnât contain his curiosity about the images inside the Memory Stone.
Isabella admired her sister and brother-in-lawâs reactions. She was satisfied. Very satisfied.
âAlright, since Leon is visiting our house for the first time, letâs go with his suggestion this time, and weâll follow Roseâs idea next time.â
Rosvithaâs inner thoughts: There wonât be a next time!
With that, Isabella activated the Memory Stone, and a clear image appeared in the center of the reception hall. Everyone looked up, and the first scene was a silver-haired young dragon sitting on the ground, crying.
A grown-up Isabella was squatting beside her, comforting her and saying, âDonât cry, little Lo, donât cry. So what if the lunch was taken away by the messenger dragon? Sister will make another one for you later, donât cry, okay?â
âLater, that messenger dragon went hungry for three days and finally learned its lesson, no longer stealing her food,â Isabella explained beside them.
Leon leaned close to Rosvithaâs ear and whispered, âThen how come you donât have any psychological trauma from messenger dragons now?â
âShh, shut up,â Rosvitha nudged his shoulder.
Leon chuckled, dodging away, and continued watching the images in the Memory Stone.
The next scene was by the bathroom door, with the camera slightly shaking, giving off a family video vibe. In the next moment, Isabella appeared in the frame, waving and then making a âsilenceâ gesture before sticking the Memory Stone on the bathroom door. Soon, familiar sounds could be heard from the bathroom.
âI love bathing, makes my body feel good~~ oh oh oh~~ scrubbing my tail and blowing bubbles~~ oh oh oh~~â
Leonâs smile widened. âWife, your singing voice is as melodious as a nightingale!â
âAh! Just end it all!â Rosvitha exclaimed in despair, burying her head in her arms on the table, hands covering her ears.
Clickâ
The sound of her heartâs defense breaking, so pleasant!
âHere comes the final part, which I personally think is the most exciting,â Isabella announced.
Upon hearing this, Rosvitha quickly lifted her head and grabbed Isabellaâs wrist. âSis, this part is really not okay, absolutely cannot be shown.â
Isabella narrowed her eyes and smiled. âLittle Lo, you know me. The more you resist, the more I want to show it.â
âSis, youâre my only sister, I support you,â Leon said nonchalantly, looking like he was just enjoying the show.
Rosvitha turned to glare at him fiercely.
The look in her eyes clearly said, âWait until we get home, and youâll see how I deal with you.â But Leon remained indifferent. Carpe diem, seize the day, live in the moment!
I donât know how Iâll die in the future, but youâre probably going to die now.
Isabella activated the Memory Stone, playing the final scene, and reminded them, âSome things you need to see so you wonât forget.â
In the scene, she and Rosvitha were sitting side by side by the river, having their first conversation about relationships.
âRose, what are your criteria for choosing a partner in the future?â At the age of seventeen or eighteen, Rosvitha didnât quite understand the concept of love or relationships, but she had very clear standards.
She looked at the river, earnestly replying, âThey should at least be academically superior to me, with many first places or championships; they must be responsible and not dislike children; and they should be powerful but not bully the weak, have their own principles of conduct, and not be influenced by the masses or external factors.â
Isabellaâs eyes flickered. âThose three points are quite challenging, especially the last one. Many people lose themselves after gaining power and authority.â
Young Rosvitha looked up at the Milky Way in the night sky, her tone firm with a hint of longing and determination. âWho knows? Anyway, if I were to marry, I would only marry such a person. If I never meet someone like that in my lifetime, then Iâll never marry.â
The Silver Dragon Queen, preferring to remain single than to settle for less.
The scene ended.
Leon and the two little dragon girls were still a bit stunned.. After a moment, Noia and Muen looked at their own father simultaneously.
Noia said, âAcademically superior, not bullying the weakâ¦â
Muen: âNot disliking childrenâ¦â
Leon: âDang!â
