Shut Up, Evil Dragon, I Don't Want to Have Children with You Again

No matter how beautifully a Dragon Queen dressed up, it was all fake.

Only a Dragon Slayer's career was real!

The familiar sound of high heels striking the floor rang out. Losweiser held Mu En's hand as they entered the bedroom.

"I dressed up especially today. Aren't you going to get up and take a look at me, Leon?"

Dragon Queen, watch your tone and attitude.

When Mu En wasn't around, you acted like you wanted to disgust me to death.

And now you think putting on this pitiful, aggrieved act is enough to fool me?

Childish!

Even as he grumbled inwardly, Leon reluctantly sat up.

After all, Mu En was here too. The child was innocent, so he had to cooperate with Losweiser to maintain this "family."

He sat up and looked at the silver-haired beauty before him.

A spark of light suddenly flashed through Leon's previously lifeless eyes.

Losweiser had shed her usual loose home clothes and changed into a formal long dress.

The layers of the skirt were distinct, and her accessories were varied without being excessive.

Her silver hair was pinned up behind her head, revealing Losweiser's fair swan-like neck and slender, straight collarbones.

The dress flattered her figure perfectly. One look was enough to tell it had been tailored specifically for her.

The soft fullness of her chest was just right beneath the fitted fabric.

It was neither vulgar and overflowing nor flat and lacking.

"Daddy."

"Daddy?"

"Daddy, you're so entranced by Mom that you can't look away!"

Mu En's shout snapped Leon back to his senses.

He shook his head, originally intending to stubbornly say something like, "It's just okay."

But honestly speaking, Losweiser at this moment absolutely qualified as a peerless beauty.

"Mm... you look good." In the end, Leon still gave his evaluation.

It was brief, just like the countless compliments Losweiser had heard before.

"Good-looking," "beautiful," "unmatched beauty"...

All exactly the same.

Losweiser smiled faintly, instinctively placing Leon in the same category as all those people who had flattered her before.

"Mm."

She answered and turned to leave.

"Hey, wait a second."

Leon suddenly called out to her.

Losweiser half turned around. "What is it?"

Leon leaped off the bed, strode up to Losweiser, took her by the arm, and led her before the mirror.

Under Losweiser's slightly surprised gaze, Leon raised his hand and tidied the strands beside her ear, tucking the loose silver hair behind it.

Then he checked the position of the silver crown atop her head and adjusted its angle slightly.

"Don't turn your head too casually while walking. Try to turn from the waist instead, or the silver crown might tilt a little," Leon instructed.

Losweiser's pupils shifted slightly, and an inexplicably complicated feeling rose in her heart.

None of the people who had flattered her before had ever been like Leon, able to notice her imperfections in such detail.

Yet she had just placed this guy in the same category as them...

"The neckline of the dress is a little low. Could you... uh..."

Leon gestured before Losweiser's chest, but did not dare to actually reach out and help pull up her collar.

"Mm, I understand."

Losweiser adjusted the neckline herself. "Is this alright now?"

Leon nodded. "It is."

Losweiser gave a soft snort and teased, "I didn't expect you to be so attentive. How many women have you helped arrange their clothes for before?"

"When I was little, I used to nail horseshoes onto the donkeys at Master's farm. I'm very practiced."

"..."

"Daddy, what's a donkey?" Mu En tugged on Leon's sleeve and asked with wide eyes.

Leon looked down at the little dragon girl. "A donkey is about the same as a dragon. Two ears, one tail, and when it's unhappy, it brays a couple times."

"Huh? Really~?"

"Really—"

"That's enough, Leon. Keep Mu En company properly, and don't forget what I told you yesterday."

Losweiser could not be bothered to listen to Leon's nonsense any longer. After saying that, she walked toward the door.

"Goodbye, Mother~ I'll listen to Daddy and be good~"

"Mm."

Losweiser left the room.

Mu En eagerly pulled Leon back to the bed, sat at its edge, and then climbed onto his lap.

Leon wanted to hold her, but when holding a child, one normally supported their back or waist.

But Mu En had a tail growing from her lower back, leaving him at a complete loss as to where to put his hands.

In the end, he could only gently support her back.

"Daddy, Daddy, what exactly is a donkey?"

"Emmmm, it's a very stubborn creature."

"Stubborn... what does that mean?"

"Like your mom."

"Oh~~~ Mom is a stubborn donkey~"

The little dragon girl caught on quickly. Leon was delighted. "That's right, Mom is a stubborn donkey! Say it again, Little Mu En."

"Mom is a stubborn donkey!"

"Mm-hmm, that's right."

"Daddy is also a stubborn donkey! Mu En is a little stubborn donkey!"

"...Daughter, you really know how to apply what you've learned."

After Losweiser left, Leon washed up briefly and began passing the time with Mu En in the room.

Sometimes he taught her to read and recognize words; sometimes they continued playing their Dragon Knight game.

But a room was still a room. No matter how creatively they played, it could not compare to having fun freely in the garden.

Mu En quickly became bored.

Leon was not particularly good at entertaining children either, so he could only tell Mu En stories.

The father and daughter leaned against the headboard.

Mu En nestled in Leon's arms while Leon held a copy of Little Dragon Enlightenment Stories Encyclopedia and began reading to her.

"The first story: 'How to Kill an S-class Dangerous Species, the Ironclad Yak.'"

Leon froze. The moment he saw the title, he could not help complaining inwardly.

Since when could killing dangerous species count as an enlightenment story for children?

So this is how you dragons enlighten your hatchlings?

In the human world, this sort of thing would only appear in an operations manual after graduating from Dragon Slaying Academy.

Leon thought about it and decided this was probably unsuitable for Mu En, so he looked at the second story.

"'How to Use Advanced Fire Magic to Bake Satisfactory Smoked Meat'..."

Leon had one thing to say about the Dragon Slayer who had been defeated, captured, and forced to raise a child.

Huh?

Advanced magic is for making smoked meat?

Do you look down on magic too much, or think too highly of smoked meat?

Feeling that this little story might overturn his entire understanding of magic, Leon switched to the third one.

"'How Did the Great Dragon Race Develop to This Day?'"

It sounded like a little historical educational story.

Though Leon remained doubtful about the phrase "great Dragon Race," it was still better than teaching a child how to kill dangerous species or make smoked meat.

"The Dragon Race's continued prosperity owes much to the efforts of the Dragon Kings of every clan. In this story, we will introduce the tale of Crimson Flame Dragon King Constantine. Many centuries ago..."

After Leon had read for a while, Mu En yawned.

Leon stopped and looked down at Mu En in his arms.

The little dragon girl was already drowsy, and the hand clutching Leon's lapel slowly loosened.

Leon set the storybook aside, carefully lowered Mu En's hand, then pulled up the corner of the blanket and tucked her in.

When a child could fall asleep, it was the greatest blessing for parents.

It meant Leon could finally have a little private time for himself.

He walked onto the balcony and looked down into the courtyard, noticing that there were more guards today than yesterday.

They were probably making such grand preparations to welcome Losweiser's eldest daughter.

If this had been in the past, hearing that two Dragon Kings were about to meet would have made Leon's eyes gleam green with excitement.

What Dragon Kings?

They were practically two walking first-class merits!

Unfortunately, things were no longer as they once were.

Forget ambushing a Dragon King—if Leon tried to ambush Mu En now, she would just wag her tail and say blankly, "Daddy, stop messing around. You're making Mu En's tail all itchy."

What else could he do?

He could only wait for his body to slowly recover, then look for an opportunity to act.

But judging by that Dragon Queen Losweiser's frequency of "revenge," Leon felt that he might not be able to restore his body to normal for quite some time.

Thinking of that, Leon gritted his teeth in resentment.

"Damn Dragon Queen, I will not yield!"

Even if his body was completely drained, Leon would still struggle a little.

He had already thought of how to torment Losweiser last night.

He would use her meeting with the Red Dragon Queen today to let her experience the ultimate social death!

Leon moved a small stool onto the balcony and sat down, waiting quietly.

Near noon, the gates of the Silver Dragon Sanctuary slowly opened, and Losweiser, escorted by maids, walked toward the entrance.
