Chapter 196

During her years in power, Losweiser has experienced many similar events.

She asked that question simply to probe Leon's mindset.

If the Dragon Slayer Hero's mentality were to crumble, then she would use her centuries of experience to comfort him.

Fortunately, Leon is always stronger than she thought—well, stronger in every way.

After talking about the mole, Leon asked,

"Shall we go home now? Noa and the others haven't seen us for days, they must be worried."

"Okay."

Losweiser stood up, brushed the dust off her dress, and said with a touch of wistfulness, "I bet when we get home, my daughters will be rushing to me for hugs."

After giving birth to her second child, Losweiser's maternal instincts were somewhat overwhelmed.

This is a good thing; it's much better than the cold, emotionless woman she used to be.

Hiss—

Does this mean Leon can try having a third child...?

After all, the Dragon Race traits of their second child Aurorla, were still quite obvious, which meant that Leon's prenatal education plan had ended in complete failure.

Therefore, if Leon wants a baby that is more human-like, he can only pin his hopes on a third child.

Well, it's just a thought for now. (Flirting)

While drawing cards for a third child is certainly feasible, the ten months of pregnancy for the Dragon Queen are also a torment for Leon.

We must be cautious.

After the couple finished packing, they headed towards the Silver Dragon Sanctuary.

"So tell me, will the daughters hug me first, or you first?" Leon asked.

"Of course it's me," Losweiser said.

"Very good, I admire your confident demeanor."

"Confident? Hmph, just you wait and see, my daughters will definitely run over to hug me first."

That's it! That's the taste! I Casmod restless if I don't fight this Dragon Queen every day!

The couple bickered all the way back to the Silver Dragon Sanctuary.

The Holy Temple courtyard was quiet, with only a few patrolling guards in sight, but not a single maidservant.

Losweiser frowned slightly. "Strange, Anna and the others should all be up and working by now. Where are they?"

Leon shrugged. "Maybe he took advantage of your absence to slack off."

Losweiser rolled her eyes at him. "I trust my subordinates. They've always been very serious about their work."

That's true. Even if the employees under a workaholic aren't necessarily workaholics themselves, their dedication to their work is certainly trustworthy.

The two did not linger in the courtyard. They entered the Holy Temple, went upstairs, and knocked on the door of the sisters' room.

There was no response.

Leon tried to turn the handle, and the door opened.

The couple exchanged a glance, nodded in tacit agreement, and then pushed open the door to enter.

"Noa, Mu En, are you there? Daddy Mom are back."

There has still been no response.

Leon and Losweiser walked through the entrance hall and porch, but did not see the two sisters and the youngest daughter in the bedroom.

Just as the two were wondering what was going on, they saw a wisp of smoke rising from the backyard.

The couple hurried to the balcony and looked out into the backyard.

In the courtyard, all the maids were present, while Noa and Mu En stood in front of a fire, whispering to each other.

Mu En was holding a plate of grilled steak in her hand.

Losweiser didn't understand. "What are they doing? A picnic?"

Leon understood, and he silently covered his face, "Sigh, I knew it!"

There will be another update today, in the morning.

Also, the "Cute God" competition's top 6 to top 3 round has begun! This is an extremely crucial round; advancing will get you a Leon character card. We hope everyone will support us!

"Daddy has been missing for many days."

"Mom hasn't been seen for many days either."

"Sister, I think... it's time!"

"Mu En, this is a serious matter. Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Yes, sister, I can't wait."

"Okay, I'll go get ready."

"Okay, then Mu En will go prepare the steak."

"What did you say?"

"Oh, it's nothing! Mu En just said she needed to get her clothes ready!"

An hour later, in the backyard of the Silver Dragon Sanctuary, the maids were summoned by Noa and Mu En.

They had no idea what the two little princess were up to.

Was it because Her Your Majesty the Queen and the Prince were away for a few days and had no one to play with, so they were lonely and came to find them?

Making the Princess happy and playing games with her were naturally the maids' duties, but the bonfire in the courtyard and the steak in Prince Muen's hand stirred something within them...

A subtle memory.

I remember the last time we had such a grand affair was when we were "paying respects" to the Prince.

The Princesses said that the Prince had left and would never come back, so they held a grand funeral for Prince.

So this time... are they going to use the same old tricks again?

Milan quietly moved closer to Anna and whispered, "Are we going to cry again later, Head Maid?"

Anna crossed her arms and sighed helplessly, "I'll leave everything to the Princesses."

"... All right."

"What about the Third Princess? Is someone taking care of her?" Anna asked.

"Yes, we arranged for Shirley to take care of her before we came out. She doesn't belong to the maid corps, so we let her take care of the Third Princess for the time being."

Anna nodded, then looked up at the clear sky. "Judging by the days, His Your Majesty and the Prince should be back soon."

Milan raised an eyebrow. "Head Maid, do you know what they're going out to do?"

Anna shrugged. "She probably found a quiet place to enjoy some time alone with her partner after her pregnancy. That's my guess. Don't tell anyone."

Milan naturally understood what the Head Maid meant, and she covered her mouth and smiled, "I know, Head Maid."

As the two were chatting, Noa walked over.

"Your Highness," Anna said respectfully.

"Alright, everyone can start crying now." Noa's little face was full of seriousness.

At her sister's command, before the maids could even begin, Mu En burst into tears.

"Waaah~~ Daddy Mom, why aren't you back yet! Don't you want Mu En anymore?! Waaah~"

Anna quickly nudged Milan's arm, signaling her to do the same.

Milan panicked for a moment, but quickly recovered.

"Ah!... Oh, Your Majesty! Your Prince! Your departure was so sudden!"

Under Milan's guidance, the maids also began to cooperate.

The girls' affected crying echoed in the courtyard.

Anna closed her eyes and sighed helplessly. She now wanted to find a quiet place where no one was around, just like His Your Majesty.

"Your Majesty ~ Your Majesty Your Majesty, how could you bear to leave behind your three lovely daughters~"

"Without you, how will our Silver Dragon Clan survive, my Your Majesty the Queen?"

"..."

Many people cried for His Your Majesty, but relatively few cried for the Prince.

But it's not entirely nonexistent.

"Your Prince! You have rendered outstanding service to the Silver Dragon Clan, how could you just leave like that!"

"We're waiting for Your Prince to join His Your Majesty in restoring the glory of the Silver Dragon, Your Highness!"

"..."

One of the maids at the very back was so engrossed in her role that she cried her eyes out, completely unaware that two other people had appeared beside her.

"I counted, about twenty-three maids cried for me, but fewer than five cried for you." Losweiser's calm tone seemed to suppress a hint of smugness.

Leon the Bear shrugged. "Is this something worth arguing about?!"

Losweiser gave a haughty snort, "I don't care."

Leon waved his hand, not having time to argue with her about this.

The Dragon Maid overheard their conversation and immediately swallowed back her tears and the "eulogy" that was about to come out of her mouth.

She was sobbing, and when she looked to her left, she saw Her Your Majesty the Queen trying to suppress a laugh;

Looking to the right, there was the Prince contorted with anger.

Oh~~~

Got it, now we can move on to the next step.

"The Princesses' filial piety moved Heaven, and the Prince and His Your Majesty were resurrected together!"

Those lines sound so familiar. (Part 3)

"Isn't it me who said that last time too?" the Dragon Maid thought to herself. (Mio)

Upon hearing that the two main figures from the funeral had been resurrected, the other maids breathed a sigh of relief. (Nine)

They tacitly made way for the two "resurrected" individuals to proceed.

The couple exchanged a glance, then silently began walking forward.

When they reached their two daughters, the family of four stared at each other wide-eyed.

A flicker of surprise crossed Noa's face, but she quickly regained her usual composure. (5)

As for Mu En, his performance remained consistent:

"Daddy."

"Um?"

"Mu En can eat your offerings again, right?"

"... Eat up, eat up, but don't eat too much fried food for breakfast, just this once."

"Yay!"

Leon turned to Anna and said, "Take Mu En to a restaurant."

"Yes, Your Prince."

Anna stepped forward and led Mu En away from the 'funeral' scene.

The other maids, at Losweiser's behest, returned to their posts and began their work for the day.

In the backyard, only Leon, Losweiser, and Noa remained, along with a bonfire that hadn't been completely burned.
