Chapter 197
Leon bent down and hugged Noa in his arms.
"I'm sorry, Noa, your Daddy Mom had some urgent business to attend to these past few days and went on a long trip without telling you beforehand. We're sorry you worried."
The eldest daughter is not as easily fooled as the youngest.
There are still some things that need to be explained.
Of course, we can't go into too much detail.
Noa shook her head with a serious face. "It's okay, Daddy. Has your problem been resolved?"
Leon was taken aback; his daughter's question made him feel a little guilty.
Noa is currently unaware that he returned to the Empire to deal with the mole, because that would mean she already knows her Dad is human.
Therefore, this question should simply be a response to Leon's previous statement about "something unexpected happening," and it doesn't have any other deeper meaning.
What was said in jest was taken to heart by the listener. Leon pursed his lips, suppressing the fleeting panic in his heart, and said with a smile,
"Yes, it's all taken care of."
Noa is still young and often cannot distinguish between truth and falsehood.
Even though she had countless doubts in her heart at that moment, she still chose to believe her Daddy after a brief struggle.
I trust my Daddy's honesty and Daddy ability to solve problems.
"That's good." Noa nodded.
Losweiser also came over, Leon took the opportunity to hand Noa to her.
Noa nestled obediently in her Mom's soft embrace, hugging her delicate neck.
The Queen gently nuzzled her eldest daughter's soft cheek with the tip of her nose. "Thank you for taking such good care of Mu En while Daddy Mom were away. And thank you for..."
She looked at the campfire in the yard, and on a shelf next to it were photos of her and Leon.
Why...
From a professional point of view, the funeral was indeed well-organized and even had the grandeur of a lavish funeral.
However, from the perspective of the two parties involved, it is somewhat abstract.
Especially Leon.
Attending his own funeral twice (without even getting a single bite of the offerings) is a feat that puts him ahead of 99% of all living beings on Earth.
Losweiser gave a wry smile and continued, "Thank you for organizing such a grand ceremony."
As for the Queen, her choice of words should be more elegant.
"Actually, it's to distract Mu En. You've been gone for five days. If you don't come back soon, she'll start missing you."
And I'm going to start missing you all too.
However, Noa was a little embarrassed to say this. The change in personality is a gradual and very slow process. It is impossible to force Noa to express her feelings clearly anytime and anywhere like Mu En does now.
But in this respect Mom, she is very much like her Dad.
"Noa has really grown up! She's already finding all sorts of ways to please her little sister." Losweiser didn't hold back her praise for her daughter.
Although this design is really... a bit too fancy.
But as long as the goal was achieved, that was fine. Mu En was indeed distracted and didn't insist on seeing Mom Daddy.
After being praised, Noa blushed and touched her Mom's cheek.
My Mom's face is usually cool and refreshing, and it feels very comfortable to touch.
"I'm hungry, Mom. Let's go eat."
"Okay."
Losweiser glanced back at Leon. "Let's go."
Leon nodded.
The family of three walked towards the back door of the Holy Temple.
Losweiser carried Noa in front, with Leon following behind them.
Noa rested her chin on Losweiser's shoulder, which gave her a perfect view of Leon behind her.
After taking a few steps, she slowly raised her arm and stretched out her small hand towards Leon.
Leon immediately understood and reached out to gently pinch her small, cute fingers.
Leon thought it was just a warm father-daughter interaction like usual, but when he looked up at Noa's face, he found that her expression and eyes were somewhat complicated.
Distracted, worried, bewildered, and even somewhat anxious.
But after noticing Leon's gaze, Noa immediately suppressed her strange expression and put on a smiling face.
But a child's eyes don't lie.
Leon had previously thought that only Losweiser could communicate with him through eye contact, so he started the team's voice chat.
But now, he clearly saw a question in his daughter's eyes:
You won't leave me, right?
Leon hoped that he had simply misunderstood the situation.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, Mu En was already enjoying the offerings her father had prepared.
To be able to eat the finest offering—no, I mean the finest steak—in the most beautiful morning of the day is truly one of life's greatest pleasures.
Noa sat down next to her sister and whispered a reminder not to spill any meat scraps outside the plate, otherwise the maids would have some trouble cleaning it up later.
Mu En nodded and obediently listened.
The couple then took their seats.
After a fulfilling and intense morning, it's definitely time to enjoy a delicious breakfast to replenish your energy.
At the dinner table, Leon mentioned,
"Oh, by the way, Noa, Mu En, my Mom and I were just thinking of my little sister's name when we went out these past few days."
Upon hearing this, the two Dragon girl' eyes lit up.
Holding a fork and knife, Mu En asked excitedly, "What's it called? What's it called?"
"Aurorla".
"It's a homonym for Aurora, which means 'autumn light' and 'dawn'," Losweiser said.
Noa and Mu En were not upset that their Daddy Mom n't use 'Blaze' or 'Star' in the end.
On the contrary, they all felt that the name Aurorla suited the little sister very well.
"Such a beautiful name, did Daddy or Mom come up with it?" Noa asked.
Upon hearing this, General Leon was immediately wide awake.
My dear daughter, Daddy hereby declares you to be the best support player of the season!
Leon proudly puffed out his chest and said smugly,
"Of course, it was Dad who came up with it. In terms of literary talent and artistic conception, your Mom is still a notch below me."
The Dragon girl immediately cast envious glances at their father, their big eyes filled with admiration for Daddy.
Yes, yes, yes, that's the look in my eyes.
Leon sought only two kinds of gazes throughout his life: the adoration of his daughters.
Another possibility is that the Dragon Queen disliked it.
So now that we have the admiration, as for the disdain...
He suppressed the urge to smile and slowly looked at Losweiser on the other side of the table.
The Silver Dragon Queen was seen with her long legs crossed, one hand supporting her chin, the other holding a fork, slowly eating the bacon on her plate.
Seeing Leon looking at her, the Queen raised an eyebrow, then rolled her eyes speechlessly.
Ah~~
That kind of eye roll, that kind of disdain, feels so good!
Leon contentedly withdrew his gaze, continuing to eat his breakfast while silently contemplating what a fulfilling morning it had been.
"Aurorla ..." Mu En tried to pronounce his little sister's name correctly.
Noa corrected from the side, "Aurorla."
Mu En (..??_??..): "Or... Nora..." Zero
Noa: "Orl, Jora."
Mu En (??????): "Aurorla." (The last part is a string of characters and doesn't translate directly.)
Noa: "O, Er, Ruo, La." Wu
Mu En (??灬?? ): "Aurorla." Ba
Noa gasped, then reached out and patted her sister's head. "It's not your fault, Mu En. Let's eat."
Mu En: TAT
"Daddy Mom, let's give our little sister a nickname," Noa suggested.
Mu En nodded vigorously, practically raising her hands, feet, and little tail to support her sister's suggestion.
After all, her younger sister's full name was indeed a bit difficult for her to pronounce.
The couple exchanged a glance and naturally felt there was no problem.
Losweiser looked at Leon with a smile, "Honey, since you say you're good at writing, why don't you come up with a nickname for the baby right now?"
"Hey you—"
"Yes, Daddy, choosing a nickname is definitely easier than choosing a formal name, right?"
"Oh, this..."
Seeing Leon's embarrassed look as he was forced into the situation, Losweiser covered her mouth and chuckled.
What do you mean by superior literary talent and artistic conception? You idiot, it was just that the atmosphere at the time of parting was so perfect that you had a sudden inspiration to come up with a good name for your little daughter.
Now you're supposed to get up? You can't possibly not get up, can you? Really?
Silence fell over the table until Losweiser finally spoke.
"Let's call him 'Xiao Guang' as his nickname, which also corresponds to 'Aurora'."
Mu En had no objections, "Xiao Guang is a good name!"
Any name that she can pronounce smoothly is a good name!
Noa, of course, had no objections.
And so, their youngest daughter's official name and nickname were decided, and the couple finally felt relieved.
After breakfast, Shirley brought her youngest daughter over.
After a few days apart, Xiao Guang's eyes became more lively, and his body language became more expressive.
When she saw Leon and Losweiser, she babbled in baby talk and stretched out her cute little hands to her Daddy Mom.
Its pink little tail was also bobbing up and down behind it.
Losweiser quickly took Xiaoguang and held him in her arms.
Feeling his Mom's embrace, Xiao Guang felt much more at ease. As usual, he clutched Losweiser's hair and looked at his Mom with his beautiful big eyes.
With so many children born, Xiao Guang's pupil color has become increasingly clear.
This means her development speed is normal.
But the two others were not happy.
Leon looked into those pale pink eyes, frowned slightly, stroked his chin, and pondered,
"It's one thing that their hair and tails are similar, but even their eye color is starting to resemble your sister's..."
