"I can't take it anymore."

Losweiser flinched, instinctively tucking her feet away. "W-what are you doing?! Don't tell me you have some weird fetish?"

Losweiser felt completely unaccustomed to Leon becoming so proactive.

Could this human scoundrel still be unsatisfied with what just happened and intend to continue with her feet...

Please, no!

How perverted!

"We're having a special meal tonight."

"Huh?"

"Dragon claws, raw."

"Eh? What are you do—"

Crack—

"I'll kill you, Leon Kasmod!" the Silver Dragon Queen gritted out, enduring the intense pain in her ankle.

The next morning, Mu'en stared with her big, clear eyes at the bickering couple.

"Mother, why are you limping when you walk?"

Losweiser: ...

"Daddy, why is your face all bruised and swollen?"

Leon: ...

Mu'en blinked, then suddenly understood.

"Oh~ You must have been playing some fun game without me!"

Losweiser had virtually no free time during the day.

As Head Maid Anna had said, she had to personally oversee all the affairs of the Silver Dragon Clan.

It wasn't until seven or eight in the evening that Losweiser could finish her day's work and sit down to rest.

Therefore, the job of looking after the child naturally fell to Leon.

Besides playing games with Mu'en, Leon didn't neglect her cultural education.

Leon's thinking was this:

My dear daughter, although we are living under someone else's roof now, and I have to live under the whim of that Dragon Queen every day, sooner or later, Dad will take you away from here. It doesn't matter that you're a mixed-blood little dragon girl, but you must be a cultured little dragon girl.

This sentence was actually what his Master had told Leon back then.

It was just that his Master's original words were a bit too ridiculous.

"Leon, it doesn't matter that you're an orphan, but you must be a cultured orphan."

After hearing that, Leon almost knocked his Master's false teeth out.

Speaking of his Master, Leon couldn't help but feel a pang of bitterness.

He had been with the Silver Dragon Clan for two years now. It was estimated that the Empire had long since listed him as a martyr.

His Master had said that Leon was the most promising child he had ever seen. When Leon was very young, he had already determined that Leon would become a great Dragon Slayer, shining brightly on various battlefields.

And Leon had indeed lived up to his Master's expectations.

He had become a renowned Dragon Slayer, a hero spoken of in hushed tones.

Moreover, besides shining on the battlefield, he had also been shining on the Silver Dragon Queen's bed.

Leon endured the humiliation, considering it a mission to infiltrate deep behind enemy lines and bear the disgrace.

He believed that sooner or later, he would be able to escape with his dear daughter!

However, before they could officially escape, besides recuperating, he still had to continue to win Mu'en over.

The little dragon girl was the key to his escape.

After all, among the entire Silver Dragon Clan, she was the only one who had a good relationship with Leon. All the other dragons would undoubtedly stand with Losweiser without question.

"Daddy~ I want to continue listening to yesterday's story~"

In the room, Mu'en sat on Leon's lap, holding the "Little Dragon Enlightenment Stories" in her hands.

Leon's heart stirred, and he hesitated.

Human-dragon hybrid, human-dragon hybrid, you're already a hybrid, can't you just learn dragon knowledge all the time?

At least learn some human knowledge, just to give your dad some face.

Leon took the storybook from Mu'en's hands and set it aside.

"Little Mu'en, don't you want to hear stories about other races?"

Upon hearing this, Mu'en's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes, yes~ Daddy, hurry and tell me!"

"Then, how about Daddy telling you a story about the Human Race?"

Mu'en blinked, then shook her head.

Leon was taken aback. "Why?"

"Mother said that humans are all shameless idiots who do very vulgar things when no one is paying attention. Especially that... Dragon Slayer Army they formed, it sounds terrifying."

Leon pondered Mu'en's words.

The name "Dragon Slayer Army" would indeed be quite intimidating to the Dragon race...

Putting himself in their shoes, if Leon heard that a powerful foreign race had formed a "Human Slayer Army," his first reaction would likely be fear.

But what did "shameless idiots" and "vulgar things" mean?

Is that mother dragon hinting at something here?

Leon looked at Mu'en's small face. She was very serious, seemingly believing everything Losweiser had told her.

It seemed that mother dragon had gotten to her first. The task of swaying this little dragon girl would be a long and arduous one.

"Actually... actually, you can't say that. After all, every race has two sides. You might think most humans are shameless idiots, but there might be some kind and hardworking people, right?"

"Two sides..." Mu'en chewed on the unfamiliar word.

Her little brain didn't yet have the capacity to process such advanced vocabulary.

"Yes, it means Mu'en can't view things from a single perspective. You have to look at them from different angles, and you might discover something new," Leon said.

Mu'en seemed to ponder this, her little tail twitching. "But, but Mu'en has never met a human before. I have no idea what their other side is like."

Darling, the one holding you right now is a one-hundred-percent pure-blooded human.

Leon sighed inwardly, but he still patiently explained to Mu'en.

"That's why Daddy is going to tell you some stories about humans now. This might give you a whole new understanding of this race."

Mu'en tilted her head.

Although she didn't quite understand why her father was so insistent on telling her about humans, as long as she could chat with her dad more, she was willing to listen to whatever he said.

"Okay, Daddy, you can tell me. Mu'en will listen obediently."

Leon secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected, she's my own daughter, so obedient~

After that, Leon told Mu'en many classic stories and legends from the human world.

Mu'en listened with great interest.

Of course, Leon didn't forget to emphasize the "two sides" concept.

Mu'en's current impression of humans was still largely based on what Losweiser had told her.

So, Leon couldn't just say, "Your mom's got stereotypes, trust your dad, you'll be right."

He had to proceed step by step, slowly changing Mu'en's impression of the human race.

This would be convenient for his escape later.

Before lunch, Leon had roughly explained the meaning of "the two sides of things" to Mu'en and given a few examples.

He hoped she could grasp a sliver of understanding from it.

Mu'en sat on Leon's lap, looking down and fiddling with the tip of her tail, thinking quietly.

Leon wasn't in a hurry. He gently stroked Mu'en's hair, waiting patiently.

After a long while, Mu'en suddenly looked up. "Daddy."

"Yes?"

"You said everything has two sides."

"That's right."

"Then what about us dragons?"

Leon was stunned. "D-Dragon race..."

"Yes, yes. Mother said that we dragons value strength above all else. From the moment a dragon is born, they strive to become stronger, sometimes paying many prices for it, even the price of life."

Leon's pupils flickered. So, Losweiser has sugarcoated the Dragon race's innate brutal and bloodthirsty nature as valuing strength above all else...

Mu'en continued, "Then Daddy, do you think there might be many dragons who actually don't like becoming stronger? They just want to live quietly?"

"I don't think so... After all—"

After all, brutality is the Dragon race's—

"Why wouldn't there be, Daddy? You just said it yourself, everything has two sides. There must be dragons in the Dragon race who yearn for a peaceful life." Mu'en said earnestly.

The little dragon girl's words seemed to awaken Leon.

He sat stunned in his chair, reflecting on what he had just said. He recalled telling Losweiser that she had stereotypes about humans, thinking all humans were idiots. That's why he explained to Mu'en that not all humans were like that, and that things have two sides, needing to be viewed from different perspectives. But when Mu'en brought up the Dragon race, Leon acted with a double standard, immediately dismissing them as all being obsessed with violence and bloodshed.

Leon pursed his lips, lost in thought. What Little Mu'en said wasn't necessarily all correct, but it was worth Leon's reflection.

"Daddy?" "Ah? Oh... What Mu'en said makes a lot of sense."

"Right, right. Daddy is actually the special, gentle dragon Mu'en was talking about~" As she spoke, the little dragon girl wrapped her arms around Mu'en's neck, pressing her little face against it. She truly loved being close to Leon, perhaps because Leon possessed a gentle quality that was different from other dragons. Even the Head Maid, Anna, acted more by the book most of the time, almost like a machine. If anyone else called Leon a dragon, Leon would have lost his temper; but when his daughter said it, it was acceptable.

Leon smiled, cradling Mu'en's small head, "Mu'en is also very—" Mid-sentence, Leon suddenly remembered that Losweiser had previously said that "cute" was a derogatory term for dragons.
