Chapter 172
Leon smiled and said, "A man should never break his word."
Losweiser looked up and silently watched this idiot who always had "a man should be like this or that" on his lips.
Despite being the strongest Dragon Slayer, he possesses some childish and immature traits that seem somewhat incongruous with this honor.
But this is harmless.
On the contrary, it was precisely because of these little flaws that Losweiser felt that the person she lived with every day was a real "person," rather than a perfect template created by the Creator out of favoritism.
The Queen slowly closed her eyes, listening to Leon and Ischa talking about their youngest daughter.
Postpartum exhaustion and weakness quickly overwhelmed her body and mind.
Before falling asleep, the silver-haired beauty's lips curled up slightly.
What a memorable morning!
When Losweiser woke up, it was already afternoon.
Ischa has already left; she cannot stay any longer. Without the Dragon King to oversee the tribe, it is easy for them to be harassed.
A warm afternoon breeze drifted in through the window, gently swaying the sheer curtains.
A baby's unique milky scent wafted from beside me.
Losweiser turned her head and saw her little daughter lying obediently beside her pillow, sleeping peacefully.
Her two little pink fists were clenched tightly in front of her chest, and her chubby little face was quiet and cute. Just looking at her was incredibly healing.
On the other side of the baby, Leon was lying.
Losweiser's gaze passed over the baby and landed on Leon's face.
His breathing was even, his eyes were slightly closed, and his black hair fell down, partially obscuring his eyebrows and eyes.
On that resolute and strong face, there seemed to be another shallow new scar.
Losweiser wasn't very sensitive to her own beauty and temperament, but she was quite confident in her own aesthetic sense.
Three years ago, when she first met Leon, she said that scars were the perfect feature of this handsome face.
Shedding all femininity, leaving only a man brimming with masculine charm.
Dragon Race yearn for conquest deep down, but at times, Losweiser also longs to be conquered.
She disliked those Dragon Race princes and nobles, thinking they were all vulgar pretty boys.
If you really want to win her over, you'd need to have a face as full of hormones as Leon's, right?
Oh, of course, that doesn't mean Leon has won her over.
Just kidding, this kid's gotta train for another two hundred years to conquer her.
However, this did not stop Losweiser from secretly admiring the captive's face.
This Queen admits it: this this Queen is a shallow person who is obsessed with looks!
Besides, he just happened to be born on this King XP—note this King wording, coincidentally.
What's wrong with taking a look? It doesn't mean anything.
Losweiser slowly reached out, her arm wrapping around her youngest daughter's head, and gently placed her warm, soft palm on Leon's hair.
Her fingertips slowly moved downwards, tracing his forehead, earlobes, nose, philtrum, lips, and chin.
"I really want to give you a tail," Losweiser murmured softly.
I really want to cut off your tail.
Her slender, jade-like fingers stiffened slightly, and after a moment of panic, Losweiser swiftly withdrew her hand.
"You... you're not asleep?"
"I woke up when you were spying on me."
"Who's peeping at you? Have some shame! I'm looking at my daughter."
"I was looking at my daughter~~~" Leon repeated Losweiser's words in a sarcastic tone.
Losweiser gritted her teeth. If it weren't for her daughter lying between them, she would have kicked him right now.
You're awake but still pretending to be asleep. You love sleeping so much. You'll have plenty of time to sleep after you're done for!
Losweiser ignored him and turned away.
Rustle--
He heard rustling sounds behind him, and Leon sat up, leaned against the headboard, and sighed wearily.
He scratched his head, and after clearing his head a little, he sighed.
"It was really dangerous this morning. Your sister almost noticed something was wrong with Qi Yuling IV⑨ Shan Si Qun."
Losweiser's pupils flickered slightly, and she turned around and sat up.
The couple leaned against the headboard and began their afternoon chat.
"My sister is very smart, but what I didn't expect was that your nonsense actually worked; she actually believed it."
"I wasn't making that up; it was all based on real events."
Losweiser raised an eyebrow and glanced at him sideways. "Based on reality?"
"Yes, every line in the story has a corresponding counterpart in reality."
Losweiser recalled his far-fetched love story and then asked, "How does that correspond to the statement, 'We will meet in a special place and get to know each other in a special way'?"
"Didn't we meet in your Silver Dragon Clan's dungeon? I only got to know you because you were drunk and wanted to torture me." Leon shrugged. "How special is that?"
Losweiser pursed her lips and asked again, "What about the line 'You traveled throughout the entire Dragon Race, traversing countless mountains and rivers'?"
Leon shrugged. "I graduated from the Dragon Slaying Academy at fifteen. Before I met you, I had already served in the army for five years. I've slain more dragons than the slaughterhouse masters have slaughtered pigs. You could say I've traveled all over the Dragon Race."
Losweiser gasped, narrowing her eyes slightly. "So this is how you travel? Fine, fine, you're unbeatable, you dog of a man."
Leon let out a long sigh, looked straight ahead, and returned to the previous topic, "Your sister is indeed very smart."
Losweiser pursed her lips, recalling the exchange of glances she had with Leon that morning, when that bastard even considered going all the way and sending Ischa away as well.
Although he knew it was nonsense, Leon would never actually do that.
After all, even if that scoundrel doesn't care about her, he should at least consider his daughters. She's his daughters' aunt, how could he possibly lay a hand on her?
But Losweiser still decided to use this opportunity to torture him, "Just because my sister is smart, you were thinking of killing her to cover it up this morning, right?"
"How could that be? I was just making things up to lighten the tense atmosphere."
Leon said, "Besides, if someone could be killed for being too smart, I would have been torn to pieces long ago."
"... Constantine would never believe that he died at the hands of such a shameless man."
"What do you mean, Dragon Queen? Am I not smart?"
Losweiser gave a forced smile and chuckled, "You're smart, you're too smart, you're the smartest one."
Leon was about to continue arguing with Losweiser, but as if he suddenly remembered something, his expression immediately turned serious.
He frowned, lost in thought.
Losweiser noticed his unusual behavior and asked, "What's wrong?"
Leon looked down and fiddled with his fingers, saying softly, "Your sister almost found out my human identity, but Constantine... he really did find out."
Upon hearing this, Losweiser felt a chill run down her spine and couldn't help but tense up. "How does Constantine know your identity? Isn't this the first time you two have met?"
Leon nodded. "It is indeed our first meeting. I have only fought against members of the Crimson Flame Dragon Clan before, and I have never seen the Dragon King of this clan."
Losweiser thought for a moment and said, "The Dragon King's lifespan is too long. He may not appear on the battlefield for more than ten or twenty years. You have only been in the Dragon Slayer Army for five years. It is normal that you have not fought against him."
"Hmm, but how exactly did he know I was human...?"
Leon sighed. "Did he recognize my Black-Gold War Chariot? But I had disguised my armor, and it was dark at night, so it's unlikely he would have recognized me."
The couple pondered in silence when, suddenly, Losweiser realized something.
Constantine started instigating internal wars among the Dragon Race about a year ago, and annexing minor Dragon race;
The agreement she made with Leon's master, Tiger, was that Leon should not return to the Empire within a year.
These two "years"... aren't they a bit too much of a coincidence?

Let's adjust the update time to 9 AM every day. It's been 8 AM for a month now, and the author's mental state isn't very good. ( )
As for Leon, he had very little information, and he had no idea where to even begin to investigate how Constantine knew his human identity.
It's like giving him only fragmented descriptions and a riddle-like ending, then expecting him to perfectly deduce the entire story from this limited information.
Even with Leon's brilliant mind, this was simply impossible. (8)
As for Losweiser, although she thought of Tiger's one-year agreement and the fact that Constantine had become active a year ago, she couldn't quite connect the two events with a clear thread. (8)
Adding too many useless clues and guesses will only burden the thinking process. 4.
Losweiser decided to sort things out herself first before discussing the matter with Leon.
Leon didn't dwell too much on this completely unsolvable matter.
Admittedly, he was a thoughtful and inquisitive person, but he simply couldn't be bothered to ponder Constantine's enigmatic and unpredictable nature.
If he had known this would happen, he should have spared Constantine's breath a little, asked him questions, and then killed him.
But what's done is done, so let's look forward.
Leon breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Losweiser, and asked in a low voice, "What's for dinner?"
The Queen was taken aback. "Isn't it a bit too much of a leap from revealing our human identities to deciding what to eat tonight?"
"Food is as essential as iron; you need to be well-fed to have the energy to solve riddles, right?"
Leon argued vehemently, "Besides, I haven't eaten for over ten hours since I killed Constantine early yesterday morning. Is this how you Silver Dragon Clan treat your saviors?"
Losweiser rolled her eyes at him.
Alright, alright, you've done well, you've worked hard. This Queen is fair and just, I won't argue with you.
What would you like to eat?
"Eat dragon meat."
Losweiser was speechless; she knew Leon was deliberately trying to provoke her.
During the ten months of her pregnancy, the scoundrel restrained himself and diligently played the role of a dutiful "husband," trying his best to meet all of Losweiser's needs.
I almost never talk back to her.
Now that his youngest daughter has been born safely, he can finally have some peace of mind.
Even though they hadn't bickered for so long, Losweiser's skills hadn't diminished at all. She replied calmly and unhurriedly...
"Hehe... Constantine is so big, he'll be enough to feed you for a year. Go on."
"I don't eat meat from dead animals."
"You even picked one."
Losweiser, in a fit of rage, thrust her tail right up to Leon's mouth. "This is live dragon meat, eat it, eat it! Why don't you—ah!!! You bastard, you're really going to bite me?!"
"You've practically offered it to me, wouldn't it be impolite if I didn't take a bite?"
"Kasmode!—I'll kill you!!"
Second-time baby: Amazing! To see such a wonderful performance right after being born, it's definitely worth the ticket price.
A few days later, on a sunny morning, Losweiser decided to take her youngest daughter out to bask in the sun.
Compared to human babies, Dragon Race cubs are more adaptable to their environment. Even if they are only a few days old, they can be taken out for a walk and get some fresh air.
This was also the little one's first time leaving Losweiser's bedroom, and her big eyes were full of curiosity about this new world.
The couple went to a bench in the backyard and sat down side by side.
