Chapter 208

But when it comes to showing affection in front of their daughters, they always work together seamlessly.

This tacit understanding seems to be innate, or as if it is engraved in their bones. They would even rehearse beforehand to ensure that their daughters would not discover any flaws in their various displays of affection.

But over time, this ill-fated couple no longer needed any rehearsals and could go on stage without any problems. They could understand each other's thoughts and what to do next with just a glance.

This is the self-cultivation of a veteran actor.

Losweiser sometimes remarked that life is like a play, all about acting skills—

What?

Emotion?

Where did this feeling come from?

I have absolutely no feelings for that jerk.

Our perfect teamwork is entirely due to feelings that developed over time—oops, what do you mean by feelings that developed over time? It's... it's...

Practice makes perfect!

Yes, that's right, practice makes perfect.

"Mom."

"Um?"

Are you feeling unwell?

No, why do you ask?

"Why are your wings turning a little red?" Mu En sat on the back of the Silver Dragon Queen, looking at the dragon's wings to the side.

Upon hearing this, Leon and Noa also looked toward Losweiser's dragon wings.

Indeed, it's a bit red.

"Ah... no, it's nothing, it's probably just the angle of the sunlight."

The daughters are not yet old enough to transform into dragon form, so they don't know that in dragon form, any emotional fluctuations will affect parts of the dragon's wings that have many blood vessels.

Similar to blushing in human form.

But Leon has dealt with dragons for so many years, he must know about this physiological phenomenon of Dragon Race.

In the past, when he was on military campaigns, every time he had a final battle with the Dragon King, the Dragon Kings would vent his anger in his dragon form before being killed.

In that state, regardless of their original color, the Dragon Kings' wings would turn somewhat crimson.

However, those dragon kings changed color because they couldn't defeat General Leon, so their defenses were broken by the red-hot color.

Losweiser hasn't even broken through her defenses yet, so why is she turning red...?

Leon was puzzled for a moment, silently thinking to himself, "Women's thoughts are really hard to guess."

Having entered the Silver Dragon territory, they quickly returned to the Holy Temple.

When the Queen and her family returned, the maids, who were temporarily free from work, naturally came to the front yard to greet them.

Anna took a bag from Leon, which contained her change of clothes for the past few days of vacation, and then handed it to the maid beside her, instructing her to wash it.

Of course, the swimsuit that Losweiser used for 'first aid' wasn't inside.

Because the couple had been so thoroughly enjoying themselves that night, they accidentally spilled some 'nutritious' substances on their swimsuits, so Losweiser decided that... she should wash them herself—or let the captive Casmod wash them.

Furthermore, the Silver Dragon Queen's persona in front of her maids is that of a conservatively dressed, aloof workaholic. Even after marriage, she still treats the Prince with utmost respect and occasionally shows affection, but always within reasonable limits.

They give the impression that the couple is very loving but not very close.

And if her subordinates were to discover that the Queen actually had a hidden side in front of the Prince... then Losweiser would be like the Mom of the dead, opening the door for the dead—the dead have arrived home.

After a brief handover, Anna led the Queen and her family to the dining room, where the chefs had already prepared a welcome-home feast.

At the dinner table, the two talkative daughters were still discussing their recent trip to the beach with great enthusiasm.

As for the daughter who couldn't speak, she could only eat rice alone in solitude.

The couple ate their meal slowly, occasionally glancing up at their daughter.

They would suddenly look at each other.

Then quickly look away.

It has this air of 'making eye contact with you will bring you bad luck for eight lifetimes'.

But before long, the two in-laws would inexplicably, yet with perfect understanding, exchange glances.

That's enough.

There's no escaping this ill-fated relationship; I have no choice but to submit.

After dinner, Leon played with his daughters for a while, then took Xiaoguang and Losweiser back to their room.

"When Xiaoguang gets a little older, we can let her sleep in the nursery by herself."

As she entered the house, Losweiser took off her high heels and eagerly slipped into her comfortable, soft dragon-wing slippers, then stretched lazily.

Leon paused in his tracks.

Hiss...

There seems to be a hidden meaning in what he's saying.

After Xiaoguang goes to sleep in the nursery, won't he and Losweiser be the only ones left in the room again?

Does that mean she can continue to do whatever she wants?!

Leon felt a chill run down his spine, swallowed hard, and didn't continue the conversation.

He put his youngest daughter on the bed and coaxed her to sleep peacefully.

Looking at his daughter's peaceful sleeping face, Leon couldn't help but smile slightly.

So this is what a nurturing relationship feels like, it's amazing!

He reached out and gently stroked Xiao Guang's chubby cheeks with the back of his large hand. They were soft and smooth, and felt wonderful to the touch.

It's a pity he didn't get to see Noa and Mu En as babies; they must have been adorable.

Mentioning Noa... let's dig...

Now that his eldest daughter's emotional issues are temporarily resolved, Leon can finally get down to business.

In three months, I'll be going to the mountain cave to exchange information with my master.

He tucked Xiao Guang in, then sat on the edge of the bed and looked up at Losweiser.

She had changed into her nightgown and was sitting on the sofa, reviewing the work logs Anna had just sent over for the past few days.

"Losweiser, I have a question for you, and I'd like to hear your thoughts."

The Queen put down her work log, rested her chin on her hand, and looked up at Leon. "Hmm, okay, what's the problem?"

"Don't you think it's somewhat coincidental that Constantine specifically chose to attack you when you were about to give birth...?" X

xx years old

It seems the outcome of this Moe Wars is already decided (sadly).

But please cast your free hearts to see where Leon's limits are, and also to see where the limits of extra chapters are. Arigato~

Upon hearing this, Losweiser's eyes flickered slightly, and she slowly lowered her long, crossed legs, her previously languid posture leaning against the sofa straightening involuntarily.

As astute as she was, she naturally understood the meaning behind Leon's words.

"You mean, my Silver Dragon Clan has a spy planted by Constantine?"

"Yes, I had a vague feeling about this when I confirmed Constantine's attack."

Leon said, "But I haven't had time to think about it in detail, so I wanted to ask for your thoughts now."

To be honest, Leon wasn't particularly concerned about the Silver Dragon Clan being infiltrated by other races; all he cared about was his daughter—

Well, as for Losweiser... well, let's just say we can count her in.

Note that it's only a reluctant one, because if something were to happen to her, her daughters would be heartbroken.

Well, that's just a case of loving the house because of its owner.

Let's get back to the main topic.

If the speculation that there is a spy among the Silver Dragon Clan is correct, then this spy has undoubtedly threatened Leon's wife and children.

Therefore, even if he has no intention of helping the Silver Dragon Clan, it is still necessary for him to remind or directly help Losweiser to find this undercover agent.

Just like when the Crimson Flame Dragon Clan launched a surprise attack, Leon did not act immediately.

Based on the initial battle situation, Anna's Silver Dragon soldiers were able to use the terrain to their advantage to resist the enemy's attack, and Losweiser and Noa were safe.

It wasn't until Constantine himself arrived on the battlefield and broke through Anna's defensive lines with overwhelming force, truly threatening Losweiser and his daughters, that Leon donned his Black-Gold War Chariot again and rushed to the battlefield.

Being betrayed by the empire doesn't mean Leon can let go of his resentment towards the Dragon Race.

Dragon kings like Losweiser, who are more laid-back and focused on their clan's work, are extremely rare in the entire Dragon Race. Ultimately, most Dragon Race are fierce and warlike.

Losweiser pondered for a moment, then replied,

"It hasn't been long since the Constantine attack, and a lot of unexpected things have happened in between, so I haven't had time to think about it properly."

The "many unexpected events" probably refer to the few days when Leon returned to the Empire.

For Losweiser, this was indeed an unexpected event... enough to unsettle her and leave her no time to think about anything else.

However, unless she says it out loud, no matter how smart Leon is, he could never guess what she's thinking.

She didn't want Leon to think she would get angry or lose her mind because of him.

Waiting him five days and bringing him home is already giving that scoundrel enough face.

If we give him any more incentives, he'll probably get all cocky.

Sure enough, Leon's attention was also focused on the last half of Losweiser's sentence.

"Hmm... you mean, you were also aware all along that there might be a spy within the clan?"

Losweiser nodded. "Of course. I was planning to take a few days off after you got back and then deal with this, but then you suddenly said you were going to the beach, so I thought I'd wait until you got back to talk about it."

Leon blinked and asked with a smile, "Aren't you afraid that the undercover agent will sabotage you during these few days? Or that he might slip away or something?"

"I made arrangements for Anna before we set off. She's been keeping a close eye on the people in the Holy Temple, especially the maid corps."

Losweiser said, "After all, the only people who knew my exact delivery time were the maids, so this undercover agent was very likely also in the maids."

After a pause, Losweiser smiled and asked in return, "Since you already knew about this, why did you still want to take Noa and the others to the beach first?"

Leon shrugged. "I've taken my daughters out. Even if that undercover agent wants to cause trouble, he can't hurt them anymore. And if that undercover agent wants to run away, let him. Constantine is dead anyway, where can he go?"

A typical doting father truly sees his daughter as the most important person.

But Leon's second half of his analysis is indeed reasonable.

Combined with Losweiser's instruction to Anna before leaving to keep a close eye on the people of the Holy Temple, the couple, though they hadn't discussed it beforehand, achieved a fairly good result in the end.

That's what you call professional.

As Leon said, Constantine is dead, so the undercover agent they're talking about is probably still wondering about his future.

"It's impossible for them to escape. Firstly, Anna has been on high alert these past few days. If any of our clansmen escape, they must have done something wrong, and that undercover agent must know that too."

"Secondly," Losweiser said, "Like you said, Constantine is gone, and he has nowhere to go. So... if we want to catch this undercover agent, it's not actually that difficult."

After they finished speaking, the couple looked at each other simultaneously.

Their black and silver eyes met, and moonlight streamed in through the window.

After a short while, the couple laughed at the same time, and pointed at each other with their index fingers in perfect unison, their expressions seeming to say, "Hey, you're something else."

"Mr. Casmod is a true example of someone who rides the wave of success."

"Miss Melkwy is just as good as me."

The couple may look completely different from each other, with nothing alike in their appearance, but they are exactly alike in one aspect: when things are going well, they are bound to be the same.

Admittedly, it was because of this undercover agent that Constantine specifically chose to launch the attack when Losweiser was at her weakest.
