Chapter 140

I originally intended to pay for it, but the shop owner said enthusiastically, "It is an honor for our shop that Your Prince can buy our items. We will give them to Your Prince for free."

Leon said, "Alright, alright, I'll put in a good word for you with Your Majesty Your Majesty, and maybe even get her to be your shop's spokesperson."

Leon bought the Imprint Stone to record some... prenatal education stories.

He held the Imprint Stone in both hands, nervously biting his lower lip, and carefully placed Imprint Stone on Losweiser's stomach.

After placing it down, he carefully released his grip and glanced at Losweiser again.

Good, he's still not awake.

Leon then activated the Imprint Stone.

There was no image in the Imprint Stone, but Leon's voice gradually began to emanate from it.

"Long, long ago, on a distant western continent, a wise and brave race was born, and they called themselves 'humans'."

It was an ancient history book that Leon found in Losweiser's private library.

Of course, how could the history books written by the Dragon Race describe humans as a "wise and brave" race?

Therefore, the content played by the Imprint Stone has been edited and polished by Leon.

"Human beings are a great race, a heroic race!"

"They are resilient, they are indomitable, and they will always fight for a better tomorrow!"

Leon paused the Imprint Stone at this point, then looked at Losweiser's little belly and said,

"Did you hear that, baby? Humans are the number one race in the world. The glory of the Dragon Race is all just hype. Back in the day, Daddy could cut them down one by one like slicing vegetables. So you should try to be more like a human from now on~"

The Imprint Stone continues to play.

The short story segment ended, Leon put away the Imprint Stone, then said seriously,

"Sweetie, you already know about the origin of humankind. Now, let Daddy do something light and easy for you. How about reciting a poem? Let's recite... 'Humanity is Great, No Need for Words.'"

Unfortunately, although he could find people selling Imprint Stone in the Silver Dragon Tribe, he couldn't find anyone willing to recite the greatness of humanity.

Wouldn't that make him a "Dragon traitor"?

So Leon had no choice but to step in himself.

He cleared his throat, his expression serious, and began to recite, with great expression, to Losweiser's little belly.

"Ah~ humanity, you are so great!"

"The dazzling sun rises in the east, its light awakening those resolute and courageous people!"

"Look! How selfless and dedicated they are, working together to overcome difficulties!"

"..."near

"When friends come, we offer them delicious food; when dragons come, we wield swords to fight them."

"Every evil Dragon King will be defeated by mankind." (Part 3)

"Ah! The greatness of humankind needs no further explanation!" hissed.

(Second child: Stop it, Dad. Isn't this art form a bit too advanced for me right now?)

The next morning at breakfast, after finishing her meal, Mu En excitedly jumped off her chair and went to the backyard practice area to wait for Leon, preparing for today's magic lesson.

Leon and Losweiser were almost finished eating as well.

Losweiser had little appetite. She clenched one fist, lazily propped her cheek up, and with the other hand, she held a fork, listlessly fiddling with the bread slices on her plate.

The Queen lowered her eyes and slowly began, "Last night..."

Upon hearing her mention "last night," Leon immediately stopped what he was doing and looked at Losweiser with some nervousness.

Could it be that she noticed the prenatal education I did last night?

"I had a nightmare last night," Losweiser said.

She put down her fork, looked up to meet Leon's gaze, and her expression didn't seem to suggest that she intended to subtly expose Leon.

It seems she really just had a nightmare.

Leon secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "What nightmare?"

"Dream..."

Losweiser took a deep breath, as if even simply recounting the contents of her nightmare was a test of courage.

"I've become a human, and even... I'm praising the greatness of humanity... Dragon God, this is terrifying."

Leon's eyes darted around, thinking to himself that he didn't know if his prenatal education plan from last night would be effective for the second baby, but it seemed to be working quite well for him.

At first, Leon was worried about his poetry recitation skills, feeling that he might not have the talent;

But a good poem recitation is one that can give the Dragon Queen nightmares.

Since that's the case, he should keep up the good work and instill more of the essence of human culture in his second child; the baby will definitely love it!

(Second child: Father, please stop for the sake of me calling you father! You can do an awkward thing once, but not twice!)

However, since what happened last night wasn't discovered, Leon decided not to comment on Losweiser's "nightmare."

The more you say, the more mistakes you make.

He lowered his head and continued to eat the rest of the food.

Seeing that Leon had no intention of discussing this topic with her, Losweiser changed the subject and asked, "What do you plan to teach Mu En today?"

Leon's mind worked quickly. "Basic Fire magic."

He didn't want to suffer another eggplant feast for not teaching his daughter Fire magic.

Moreover, the fact that I only taught Lightning magic at the beginning was partly due to my resentment and rivalry with Losweiser.

But Leon isn't really a child.

My precious daughter is a rare twin awakening, how can we let this opportunity go to waste?

That definitely requires dual-threaded learning.

Losweiser nodded. "Teach her how to control the form changes of Fire Element. As for dragon flames, I'll take charge of teaching her that in a couple of days."

Dragonfire is essentially a skill exclusive to Dragon Race; even if other races learn how to unleash it, it's still largely useless.

"Okay, sure." Leon replied, putting down his fork and standing up. "I'm going to find Mu En."

Losweiser looked away, down at the bread slices on her plate, hesitated for a moment, and then tried a small bite.

A wave of nausea washed over me.

She frowned slightly, quickly picked up her water glass and took a sip to suppress the feeling.

"Phew... that was quite a hassle."

Losweiser leaned back in her chair, touching her still relatively flat stomach. "Baby, Mom has had to endure a lot for you—"

She looked at the ceiling, intending to continue, "After you're born, you must side with your Mom."

But then I thought about it, and that's eight months from now, it's still a long way off.

So, the words that were about to come out were changed to, "So, let's transfer some of this suffering to Daddy. I'm sure he won't mind."

Suffering does not disappear into thin air;

But you can transfer from one person to another, right, my dear prisoner?

After awakening her elemental powers, Mu En's daily routine consisted of spending the mornings learning magic from her Daddy at the practice field and the afternoons consolidating her basic knowledge in the library.

After all, talent alone is not enough; one needs to continuously improve and learn in order to progress.

Every afternoon, after teaching Mu En enough material, Leon would take some time to check his own Magic Power abilities.

He quietly entered the library's restroom, locked the door behind him, then went to the mirror, pulled open his shirt to reveal the silver Dragon Mark on his clothes.

Since discovering the true cause of the Magic Power depletion, Leon has taken some remedial measures.

He looked at the Dragon Mark on his chest, felt the surge of Magic Power within his body, and then muttered something.

"It seems the remedial measures have begun to show results. If we keep this up, I should be able to accumulate a lot of Magic Power by the time Noa's winter break comes around."

The principle behind Leon's remedy is not complicated.

He had previously discovered, while researching the cause of his depleted Magic Power, that something within his body would steal his Magic Power when he gathered Magic Power.

And this "thing's" accomplice, or "little brother," is Dragon Mark.

The two guys split the profits 20/80, so it doesn't affect each other.

Leon then started from this point.

Since the Magic Power in the Dragon Mark wouldn't be stolen by that "thing," he stored a portion of the Magic Power into the Dragon Mark.

To put it simply, the Dragon Mark has now become Leon's Magic Power bank, where he can freely deposit or withdraw Magic Power.

To be honest, even Losweiser probably didn't know that Dragon Mark had this function.

What a coincidence! It was unexpected that Leon discovered it.

As it turned out, his proposed remedy was very effective.

Leon now spends several hours each night gathering Magic Power.

A small portion of it was stored in the Dragon Mark, while the other portion was forced to be offered as tribute to its mysterious "elder brother".

Although this method slows down the rate at which Magic Power is stored, it is still much better than having nothing left at all.

Actually, a few days ago, Leon was still a little worried about his remedial measures.

If I store Magic Power in the Dragon Mark pattern, will the Dragon Queen steal it when I hand in my homework?

After all, the essence of handing in homework is "transferring a part of one's karma into the other person's body." In this process of transfer, will Magic Power also be transferred along with it?

If so, how much would be transferred?

If Leon painstakingly saved up his Magic Power for half a month, only to give it all to Losweiser in one assignment, he would be at a huge loss.

However, after confirming that Losweiser was pregnant with their second child, and after Leon began to cram on "pregnancy tips," he discovered that it was not advisable for the couple to have sex during pregnancy.

This finally gave Leon a legitimate reason not to hand in his homework!

Dragon Queen, for the sake of your child, please endure for eight months.

He straightened his clothes and casually left the restroom.

Time flies when you're studying. At dinner, Mu En excitedly told Losweiser what she had learned that day.

Losweiser listened patiently, her face beaming with a contented aunt's smile.

Leon didn't disturb the mother and daughter, and quietly finished his meal before returning to his room.

He's been coming home quite early lately and hasn't been playing games with Mu En after dinner much anymore.

Because we need to save up magic quickly, we have to put other things aside for the time being.

Back in his room, Leon sat cross-legged on the bed and began to gather magical energy.

As always, most of the Magic Power was transferred to a part of his body that he couldn't detect, while a small portion of the Magic Power was stored in the Dragon Mark.

Leon regulated his breathing, stopped thinking, and focused his mind.

After an unknown amount of time, Leon opened his eyes and looked at the clock on the wall.

"Oh, it's already past 2 a. m."

He is very focused on everything he does, and condensing Magic Power is something that requires a lot of concentration, so before he knew it, it was already so late.

But Leon wasn't sleepy at all.

He glanced at the books about pregnancy precautions on the bedside table, and an idea struck him.

"The two-child policy is launched!"

We promised to continuously instill the essence of human culture in our second child, so how can we let it stop on the very second day?

Leon has secretly prepared tonight's "program," guaranteed to satisfy the baby with their second child!

He packed up the props for prenatal education, followed the same method, climbed over the balcony, opened the balcony door, then slipped into Losweiser's bedroom, and finally closed the door behind him.
