Chapter 225
At this time, there should be no one else but Losweiser who would come to the practice field to find him.
Her Your Majesty the Queen always enjoys chatting and bickering with her Mr. Prisoner after a long day; it's one of her ways to de-stress.
Of course, if chatting doesn't work, Losweiser will have to have a deeper conversation with Leon.
The footsteps faded away, and a long, silver tail appeared in Leon's peripheral vision.
He didn't look directly at it, but gazed at the setting sun in the distance, and said with a veiled sarcasm,
"Who do we have here? It's His Your Majesty has returned. Do you still remember that you have a husband like me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Leon heard a puzzled "Hmm?".
Heh, foolish dragon, you didn't tell me you were going out, so I'm going to throw a little tantrum at you today.
"It's alright. I know His Your Majesty is a very busy person. If I were to get angry with His Your Majesty over such a small matter, it would make me seem immature."
"..."
"Are you speechless, Your Majesty? Do you wish to apologize to me, Your Majesty?"
"..."
"Then you'd better think carefully about how you'll apologize, because I might not accept it."
"..."
"Why aren't you saying anything? At least say something, Dragon Queen."
"Hello."
Upon hearing this, Leon's smug smile froze instantly, then gradually faded and disappeared.
That voice... it sounds so unfamiliar, it's not Losweiser's!
He quickly stood up and looked up at the source of the voice.
The other party was an older woman, estimated to be around fifty years old. However, even though she was older, it was still clear that she was a stunning beauty in her youth.
Her tail was not the silver that Leon had just caught a glimpse of, but rather a pinkish-white color that appeared somewhat silver due to the setting sun.
The woman, dressed in a simple long dress, stood elegantly, her gaze calm and serene as she looked at Leon. ⑧
Leon scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, pursed his lips, and stammered, "Shan..."
"I'm sorry... I mistook you for someone else." (Neighbor)
The woman smiled gently. "Judging from your tone just now, it sounded like you were complaining to your lover."
Lover? Mausoleum
General Leon pondered. (Flag)
Lover?! ⑼
Who is the lover? (5)
Whose lover are you insulting?! 8.
That Dragon Queen and I weren't lovers (we were husband and wife).
Although he kept denying it in his heart, Leon still had to play his part well in front of outsiders.
"Just saying... Oh, by the way, may I ask who you are?"
The other person was a stranger; at least, Leon had never seen them before.
But since they can freely enter and exit the Silver Dragon Sanctuary's training grounds, they must be acquaintances of Losweiser, or family members of the maid troupe.
Losweiser wasn't a very strict boss; the maids' families could visit the Silver Dragon Sanctuary, but only after the end of the workday.
Leon had seen similar scenes a few times before.
Just like when his master's wife visited him during his closed training at the Dragon Slaying Academy, she brought him food, clothes, hugged him, and chatted with him—it was so heartwarming.
So Leon guessed that this aunt was probably a relative of one of the maids.
The woman's eyes flickered slightly. After a moment's thought, she replied, "Someone in my family works here, so I came to see her."
Oh, as expected, they are the maid's family members.
"Yes, but it's still about half an hour before the maid gets off work, so you'll have to wait a while."
As a kind and friendly Prince —that's the persona Losweiser gave to Leon —it's his duty to take care of the employees' families.
Leon had just finished studying the Nine Hells of the Nine Hells and had nothing else to do, so he decided to chat with the old woman for a bit to kill some time.
While we wait for the Dragon Queen to come home.
The woman nodded. "Okay, then please keep this old woman company and chat here."
"No problem."
"You kept talking about Your Majesty Your Majesty, and you sounded so natural and casual. Most people in the clan wouldn't dare to do that, so... you must be the Silver Dragon Queen's husband, right?"
Leon blinked, momentarily speechless.
It wasn't that I was surprised that the woman could tell his identity, but rather that she could still chat with him in such a humble yet assertive manner after recognizing him.
Even when the Head Maid Anna spoke with Leon, she addressed him as "Your Prince" with great respect.
Could it be that this woman has seen so much that a Prince is nothing to her?
However, Leon wasn't really bothered by the other person's attitude when they spoke to him.
His title of Prince was a lie; he himself didn't have any airs of superiority.
Moreover, since the other party was an elderly person, Leon didn't pay much attention to that.
"Well, how embarrassing! I mistook you for Losweiser and said so many shameful things."
The woman's lips curled up almost imperceptibly. "It's alright. But since you can chat with such a natural tone and attitude, it means that you and the Silver Dragon Queen have a pretty good relationship, right?"
"..."
Auntie, you're getting on in years, so please don't ask these gossipy questions like young people do, okay?
"Young man, why do you look so troubled? Did I say something wrong? Is your relationship with the Silver Dragon Queen actually terrible?"
Upon hearing this, Leon quickly waved his hand in denial, "No, no, my relationship with Losweiser... is... very good, um, very good."
They must maintain a loving image in front of outsiders.
Even if the other party is just a maid's family member, who knows if they might mention it to other members of the clan after they go back?
If word got out that Her Your Majesty the Queen and the Prince were actually a couple in name only, the rumors would spread like wildfire, and the "loving couple" persona that Leon and Losweiser had spent over a year building would crumble!
"Is that so?" The woman was clearly suspicious of Leon's reaction.
Leon swallowed hard. "Yes, yes, we have three kids now, so of course we have a great relationship."
The woman raised an eyebrow slightly. "You already have... three children?"
Goodness, Auntie, are you from another planet?
Everyone in the Silver Dragon Clan knows that Her Your Majesty the Queen and the Prince have had three children in just three years of marriage.
This birth rate is quite explosive even within the entire Dragon Race.
But you've never heard of it...?
"It seems I've missed a lot of important things," the woman murmured to herself.
"Hmm? Were you not with the Silver Dragon Clan before?"
"Yes, I went to a faraway place to take care of some things and only recently came back."
The woman smiled and asked, "So, do you and the Queen still plan to have more babies?"
"Oh, this..."
The woman looked at Leon, her smile still kind. "You just used the fact that you have three children to illustrate that you and the Queen have a good relationship. So, according to your logic, the more children you have, the better your relationship is, right? So... will you have more babies in the future?"
Auntie, that's about enough!
Don't ask such outrageous questions just because you're old!
Do you think my kind and gentle Prince has no temper?
I can get angry too, even when I'm really angry!
"This is a private matter between my wife and me, and it's not convenient to disclose too much to outsiders," Leon said seriously.
The woman tilted her head slightly, squinted at Leon, and then chuckled softly. "Alright, I've been too talkative, Your Prince. I just wanted to confirm your relationship with the Queen."
Five 1qi (eight) (eight) O Abandon tumor ① Leon thought he had already restrained himself.
Even if the other party is Dragon Race, this isn't a battlefield, so there's no need to create tension. It's fine to have a normal chat.
He was also happy to chat with an elderly woman who hadn't seen her family in a long time.
After all, his teacher's wife could only see Leon once in a long while, and Leon could understand her longing for her.
But the old dragon kept subtly inquiring about his relationship with Losweiser from the very beginning, which was hard not to find annoying.
He put his hands in his pockets and lowered his voice.
"My wife and I love each other very much, that doesn't need proof, everyone knows that."
If Losweiser were there, she would probably have shut General Leon up with her tail after hearing that.
It's not that I don't want to listen, it's just that it's so embarrassing after listening to it, you jerk!
This is like spreading too much dog food (a Chinese slang term for public displays of affection) and accidentally stuffing a handful into your own mouth.
Seeing Leon's serious expression and how he was clearly defending his wife, the woman smiled with relief.
"No wonder he's the man Little Los chose."
"Snort."
The soft snort meant, 'Do you even need to tell me?'
Leon had intended to continue showering the old lady with his and Losweiser's affection, making her trip worthwhile.
However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
He turned his head stiffly to look at the woman beside him, then nervously swallowed.
After a long silence, Leon asked, his voice trembling.
"What... what did you call her just now?"
"Little Los."
The woman replied naturally, "That's what everyone in our family calls her."
When Losweiser returned to the Silver Dragon Sanctuary after inspecting the border, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.
Upon learning of her grandmother's return, Losweiser rushed upstairs to her guest room without even having dinner.
Anna said Your Majesty, you don't need to be in such a hurry.
Losweiser stopped and asked why.
Anna smiled and said, "Because Prince Erlin 120 (7) passed away 8, he has been accompanying the old lady."
Losweiser gasped, her pace instantly shifting from "brisk" to "jogging," and she rushed up the stairs in the blink of an eye.
The Head Maid was left alone in the hallway, bewildered.
What's wrong? The Prince so eloquent, he must have made the old lady very happy, right?
Then why does His Your Majesty still look so nervous?
Sigh, I don't understand. After all, it's His Your Majesty's family matter, so Anna didn't pursue it any further. Instead, she arranged for a few maids to prepare a late-night snack.
His Your Majesty didn't eat dinner, but he will eat something after he finishes seeing the old lady.
Meanwhile, on the third floor of the Holy Temple, Losweiser, in a manner unbecoming of Queen, hurriedly lifted her skirt and crossed the corridor to her guest room.
She stood at the door of the guest room, closed her eyes, and focused on regulating her somewhat chaotic and rapid breathing, as well as her slightly excited and nervous feelings.
She was thrilled because her grandmother, whom she hadn't seen for fifty years, had come back to visit her.
The tension stemmed from the fear that the scoundrel might say something wrong and arouse his grandmother's suspicion.
