Chapter 130

However, the birthday celebrant has not yet returned.

Leon originally planned to invite Mu En along, thinking of giving the mother and daughter a surprise, and also to make up for the regret that the daughter did not see her Dad wake up at Losweiser's birthday last year.

But it was already so late, and Mu En had long since fallen asleep.

Noa also returned to the Saint Hiss Academy yesterday morning.

When Mu En wakes up tomorrow, he can find his daughter, all lively and energetic, and say, "You know what, sweetie, Daddy made it to Mom's birthday this year!"

Mu En will definitely be very happy.

But the problem is:

What should we do tonight?

A large part of the reason Leon initially agreed to let Losweiser host her birthday celebration was because she mentioned her daughters.

But now that his daughters are either at school or sleeping, it seems like he threw this birthday surprise specifically for Losweiser.

Leon sat on the sofa in Losweiser's room, sniffing. "You cunning Dragon Queen, I'm definitely not celebrating your birthday next year!"

Let's just make do this year.

Well, it'll have to do.

Meanwhile, Losweiser was carrying several gift boxes toward her room.

Although Dragon Race celebrate their birthdays only once every ten years after reaching adulthood, inviting relatives and friends from all sides to attend the banquet;

But this doesn't mean they won't receive small gifts as a token of their affection on their birthdays during this period.

The gift box that Losweiser is holding contains gifts from her sister Ischa, from the Head Maid Anna, and from several female classmates she got along well with in her school days.

She worked overtime tonight to handle some important matters, which is why she came home so late.

She had intended to visit her daughter, but since Mu En was usually asleep by this time, Losweiser had no choice but to give up.

Moreover... throughout the entire day, except at the dinner table, Losweiser didn't see Leon at all.

I guess he didn't have a proper birthday celebration, so he's hiding?

Rossweisse shook her head and refused to make any random guesses. Anyway, it looked like this was the end of the night.

Nothing special. Neighbor

She returned to her room and was about to open the door when she found it was ajar.

Through the crack in the door, you could see that the lights were off inside.

Losweiser held the overflowing gift boxes in both hands, blinked, pondered for a moment, then turned slightly and gently pushed open the door with her shoulder. "Leon, you're in my room—"

boom~~ Lin

The moment she stepped into the room, the lights switched on instantly, followed by a muffled thud, and several colorful ribbons slowly drifted down onto Losweiser's silver long hair.

Losweiser was slightly startled by the sudden sound, and before she could react, her eyes were covered from behind.

It's Leon. (Sigh)

She was very familiar with the feeling of being touched by this man's hands. ⑧

Moreover, in the entire Silver Dragon Sanctuary, no one except him dared to break into her room and blindfold her.

Damn it, this is not the right a prisoner should have.

Oh, so the prisoners didn't celebrate her birthday either. Thinking of this, Losweiser felt a little relieved.

"Happy birthday, Dragon Queen." A familiar voice came from behind.

Losweiser did not struggle, but stood quietly in place, holding the gift.

What a scoundrel! He actually managed to throw her a birthday party without anyone noticing.

After a brief moment of joy, Losweiser joked, "Perhaps it would be better if 'Dragon Queen' were replaced with my name?"

"I'll definitely do it next time."

Losweiser chuckled. "So, saying 'Happy Birthday' while blindfolded is your human birthday custom?"

Leon thought for a moment, "Not entirely. Slowly walk towards the living room now, there's a surprise waiting for you."

Losweiser shrugged and slowly began to walk.

Leon stood to her side and behind her, looking down to help her watch her feet.

"Lift your feet up a bit, there's a step in the entryway."

"Um."

The couple walked slowly into the living room, one after the other.

Losweiser sniffed; there was a smell of burning candles in the air.

The Queen was puzzled. Why light candles on birthdays? Is that a human custom?

Just as she was about to ask, she smelled a faint odor mixed in with the other scents...

"Creamy flavor?!"

Cream.

The mere thought of cream made Losweiser's entire body instantly feel uneasy.

She vividly remembers being tortured by cream puffs at the school sports meet, which makes her want to run away whenever she smells cream.

"I know what you're thinking, but not the one you're thinking of."

Leon kept her blindfolded. "So, are you ready? I'm going to let go."

"Hmm." She was already prepared to smear cream puffs on Leon's face if she opened her eyes and saw them.

The next moment, the hands covering their eyes were slowly removed.

After adjusting to the lighting in the room for a while, Losweiser looked down and saw a huge cake sitting in the living room!

This cake is at least as big as a coffee table, no wonder it has such a rich creamy flavor.

The cake was also decorated with small pieces of fruit, mostly oranges, with strawberries and mangoes as garnish.

In addition, a line of text was written in jam on the top layer of the cake:

Happy birthday, Losweiser.

Losweiser looked at the "spectacle" before her and couldn't help but marvel slightly.

She had seen plenty of cakes and birthday wishes.

But this was the first time she had ever seen something combine the two and make the cake so extravagantly large.

Losweiser put the gift she was holding aside and asked, "Do humans eat cake on their birthdays?"

"Well, I guess it's a custom," Leon said.

Losweiser nodded thoughtfully. "Are they all this big?"

"No, not all of them. This is what I told you before. Although the birthday celebrations are all the same old routines, there might be some differences in the details."

"All I see is a cake bigger than my coffee table. What are your details?"

"The candles. Count them, there are two hundred and eighteen candles in total, which corresponds to your age."

There were quite a few candles, but Losweiser didn't actually count them.

No wonder Leon made such a huge cake with over two hundred candles; there's simply no room for smaller cakes.

She stepped forward, looking at the enormous cake, the candlelight reflecting in her silver eyes.

Although she didn't quite understand why humans had this custom of celebrating birthdays, Losweiser was already quite satisfied with the novelty of it.

It's quite remarkable that Leon was able to prepare such a large cake in just a few days without letting any word of it leak out.

As expected of the strongest Dragon Slayer, he managed to hide his whereabouts so well.

Even Losweiser thought he was trying to get away with it.

Losweiser stretched out her delicate finger, gently scraped the cream off the cake with her fingertip, and then brought it to her lips to taste.

It's very sweet, but not cloying at all.

It's a million times better than cream puffs.

Sweetness can lift your spirits, Losweiser smiled, turned around, and unusually praised Leon, "You did a pretty good job. A human's birthday... that's quite interesting."

"It's not over yet," Leon said.

Losweiser's eyes lit up. "Is there anything else?"

For some reason, she found herself somewhat looking forward to seeing what other tricks humans might come up with.

Leon gave a sly smile, walked over to Losweiser, pointed to the candles on the cake, and said, "Blow out the candles, and then make a wish."

"Huh? W-why do we blow out candles when we make a wish? And... will a wish made on a birthday come true?"

"It might not actually happen, but it's all for good luck. But blowing out the candles is a must, otherwise the cake won't move."

Looking at the two hundred and eighteen candles, Losweiser couldn't help but swallow hard. "Do I really have to? Can't I just not blow them out?"

"No, you said yourself that you wanted to strictly follow human customs."

Leon began to reveal his true intentions with a smile, "Your Majesty, please play."

Losweiser squinted at the guy, the slight joy and emotion that had just risen in her heart vanished instantly.

You bastard, I knew you wouldn't properly celebrate my birthday.

Okay, go ahead and brag. Who's afraid of who?

But... if you want to mess with me, you won't have an easy time either.

Losweiser pulled Leon over, and the couple crouched down together in front of the cake candles. "Blow them out with me."

"Why should I blow out the candles with you on your birthday?" Leon's heart skipped a beat, and he tried to struggle with the thought.

"Shouldn't it be an honor for a captive like you to blow out the candles with the Queen?"

"..."

"Hurry up."

Losweiser tugged at his sleeve, as if she wouldn't let go until he blew on it.

Alright, I dug a pit and painted it myself (2) (3) and ordered the fins to jump.

The couple looked at each other, then took a deep breath at the same time, filling it completely, and then blew it out onto the 218 candles in front of them.

"Huff—huff—cough, cough cough!"

The candles went out one by one until the ill-fated couple were so exhausted from blowing them that their brains were deprived of oxygen.

The two leaned on each other's shoulders, breathing in the fresh air.

After calming down a bit, Losweiser glared at him. "You humans are so boring! How can you have such a custom!"

"Please, normally there are only a dozen or twenty candles. Unlike you Dragon Race, who are hundreds of years old all the time."

Losweiser scoffed and straightened up. "And then? Make a wish over the cake?"

"Um."

"You can promise anything?"

Leon nodded. "Yes. But this is just a matter of good luck; there's no scientific basis for it, so don't blame me if it doesn't work out."

"Oh... can I tell you my wish?"

"What ever."

Losweiser turned to look at the cake, then closed her eyes and clasped her hands together.

I hope—

Leon listened intently, curious to see what the Dragon Queen might wish for.

"My prisoners will never escape."
