Chapter 243
Oh, such a wonderful woman is actually my wife.
This is really worrying (trying not to laugh)
Let's start here.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The feeling of falling pulled Leon back to reality from his thoughts.
Several Silver Dragon Queen slowly descended, their feet resting on a lush meadow, and beyond that, a forest of mountains—the border of the Silver Dragon territory.
He jumped off Losweiser's back, and the dragons transformed into human form.
Losweiser walked to his side, and the couple walked forward side by side, flanked by Anna and her maids and guards.
The group crossed the meadow and entered the woods.
Before he had gone far, Leon keenly sensed the hidden sentries lurking in the giant trees of the mountain forest.
There were quite a few sentries, which shows that Losweiser had increased her manpower since the last Constantine attack.
Leon carefully surveyed the area, then lowered his voice, "There are about 27 hidden sentries in this area, right?"
Losweiser raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised. "Yes, I didn't expect you to have discovered everything. It seems we'll have to send more people."
"Simply adding more manpower is useless; it would be better to focus on the methods of disguise."
Leon has a lot to say on this kind of matter.
It's like a master thief getting a government job and becoming an anti-pickpocketing expert.
So Losweiser took Leon's suggestion very seriously, "Okay, I understand."
The couple spoke softly, Leon would not point out her minor mistakes in front of her subordinates.
When we're out in public, we have to give Her Your Majesty the Queen some face.
About two hours later, the group was about to leave the forest.
Going further ahead means leaving the Silver Dragon's territory.
Leon saw Constantine's dragon head at the edge of the forest.
It was suspended between two giant trees, swaying gently in the cold wind.
Half a year has passed, and the scales and keratin on the dragon's head have fallen off. The only remaining dragon horn is dull and lifeless, as if it would break with the slightest touch.
Leon walked up to Constantine's dragon head and stared at the enormous skull with a blank expression.
After a long silence, he snorted coldly and muttered to himself, "Alliance with the Empire was your biggest mistake, Constantine."
Losweiser walked to his side, glanced at the dragon's head, then looked at him.
"What, reminiscing about your Special Merit here?"
She also lowered her voice to make sure Anna and the others behind her wouldn't hear.
Leon grinned. "An opponent of this caliber isn't worth my reminiscence."
"Oh? Then what kind of opponent would you miss?"
Leon turned his gaze away from Constantine's head and met Losweiser's eyes.
The couple looked at each other.
wu①Qi Pa (8) Ling Qi VI Everything is unspoken.
However, what was originally a romantic hint was immediately suppressed by the Queen herself.
"Hmph, you little prisoner, you think you can hang my head on your doorstep?"
Leon rolled his eyes, speechless.
Serves you right for not confessing your feelings to me.
You just wait, you just wait. Even if the world ends, I will never confess my feelings to you, you foolish dragon.
After paying their respects to Lao Kang's remains, the group arrived at the border of the territory.
Further on, the environment gradually becomes harsher, with flying sand and stones, and barren deserts and Gobi.
"There's nothing unusual here. Let's move on to the next place," Losweiser said.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The group turned and left.
But Leon remained standing in the same spot.
After taking a few steps, Losweiser noticed that Leon hadn't followed, so she turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Leon slowly crouched down, staring at the boundary between the grass at his feet and the desert area in front of him.
The boundary was clear, as if it had been cut open with a knife.
"These dividing lines are way too neat..."
Leon pondered for a moment, then slowly stood up, turning his back to Losweiser, and said, "Let's increase the number of patrols recently."
Losweiser's eyes flickered slightly, then she nodded. "Okay."
Leon stood on the sharply defined dividing line, gazing at the distant sandstorm, his eyes slightly narrowed.
"I have a feeling that there's something dangerous going on."
The big one is coming!
That jerk has been living the same routine for the past few days:
Bedroom → Library → Exit
I get up at seven o'clock every morning, wash up, have breakfast, and then take my daughters to the library, where we stay for the whole morning.
In the afternoon, Noa and Mu En practiced magic, while Xiao Guang cheered on her second sister, hoping that she could soon reach the basic threshold of twin awakening: 'simultaneously condensing the Lightning and Fire elements '.
Leon was nowhere to be seen and would not return until evening.
This regular lifestyle intrigued Losweiser.
Why has he been so rarely home ever since we took him on that border patrol trip? (Yi)
One day, after lunch, Losweiser took a twenty-minute break before starting her afternoon work.
Not long after, Leon passed by her Sanctuary Hall.
He was also holding a camera in his hand.
Losweiser sat on the high throne, leaning forward, elbows resting on the table, chin propped up by one hand, her silver eyes following Leon's movements. (Mio)
Just as he was about to step out of the Holy Temple gates, Losweiser finally spoke, q
Are you going out again?
Leon stopped and turned around to look up. "Hmm, what's wrong?"
"Nothing much, it's just that you seem to be out for a long time every day these past few days." (1)
She lowered her eyes and looked at the camera in his hand. "He even brought a camera this time."
"Your Silver Dragon Clan has a beautiful environment with mountains and rivers. I'm sure Her Your Majesty the Queen won't mind if I take a couple of photos."
Losweiser rolled her eyes at him, knowing it was just an excuse he made up. "Whatever, we'll talk more tonight."
Leon shrugged. "No problem. I can also tell you about the results of my investigation over the past few days."
Upon hearing this, Losweiser raised an eyebrow. "Investigation findings? Is it about the secret cooperation between the Empire and the Dragon Race?"
"Not really. Anyway, there's no definitive conclusion yet, so I can't say too much. Let's see if we can gather some more reliable clues later."
Leon said, "You just focus on your own work, and I'll take care of the fieldwork."
The Queen's lips curled slightly upwards as she leaned back in her throne, crossed her long legs, and spoke slowly.
"A year ago you were indifferent to all matters, big and small, of my Silver Dragon Clan. How come you're so enthusiastic now? But let me make this clear in advance: no matter how enthusiastic you are, there's no salary."
"It's too much of a strain to keep bringing up money, Your Majesty the Queen."
"What feelings do you have for me? What feelings do I have for you?"
Leon raised his hands in surrender, too lazy to argue with her about it. "Okay, okay, if you say no, then no. Anyway, let's set aside some time tonight and have a proper talk."
"Yes, I know."
Losweiser paused, then added, "By the way, if you're going out, do you need me to arrange a bodyguard for you?"
Leon thought for a moment and nodded. "Okay, I was just about to submit a personnel dispatch application to you."
Losweiser rolled her eyes. "Tch, trying to sound sophisticated. I'll have Anna arrange something for you."
"OK".
After the handover was completed, Leon turned around and walked towards the door.
After walking a few steps, I heard Losweiser remind me again, "Go early and come back early."
Leon waved his arm with his back to her, "Okay."
A few minutes later, the sound of a dragon flapping its wings came from the front courtyard of the Holy Temple.
Losweiser was slightly surprised. "Oh, they're going to fly? Looks like that idiot's destination is a bit far."
Muttering to herself, Losweiser shook her head, snapping out of her reverie, and continued working at her desk.
My daughters came by once in the afternoon.
Mu En said she was almost ready to master the skill of using two elemental magics simultaneously.
Losweiser naturally showered her with praise.
Twin awakening is an extremely rare talent, and even someone as laid-back as Mu En wouldn't want to waste it.
As soon as Noa returned home for vacation, Mu En pestered her sister to teach her the techniques of manipulating Magic Power. With Leon's usual guidance on twin awakening, Little Moon made remarkable progress.
Then Losweiser asked Hikari if he was interested in magic or anything like that.
Xiao Guang said she was interested in things she had never been exposed to before, but unfortunately, she couldn't keep up physically and her magic circuits weren't fully developed, so she could only watch her older sisters practice.
Losweiser comforted her, saying it was alright, and that it was important to take advantage of the time to learn more about theory and build a solid foundation.
Xiao Guang naturally understood this principle.
The mother and her daughters chatted for a while. The little Dragon girl were very sensible and knew their Mom had to work, so they couldn't bother her for too long. When it was time to part, the three little ones went up and kissed their Mom's cheeks before going to the backyard.
Spending time with her daughters is one of the few moments of rest that Losweiser enjoys during her busy workday.
Although brief, it was enough to heal Losweiser's weary body and mind.
The Dragon girl are so incredibly cute, obedient, sensible, and know how to care for their Mom—
She's much better than that Dragon Slayer hero who's always contradicting her.
"All you do is make me angry, all you do is make me angry."
The Queen rested her cheek on one hand, muttering to herself as she scribbled and drew on scraps of paper.
With just a few simple strokes, the "big-headed doll" image of the dog man was sketched out.
Just like the way she looked at him through the wine glass that day.
Ugly-cute.
"If you eat Dragon's Might again, I'll not feed you for three days and let you starve to death."
Still not satisfied, she drew a thick cross on Leon's portrait.
"Hmph, let's see if you dare to be disrespectful to your superiors again."
After 'taking revenge', she carefully folded the paper with Leon's large portrait drawn on it and put it in her coat pocket.
Then he resumed his work.
As evening fell, Losweiser finished the last document of the day, capped her pen, and breathed a sigh of relief. After sitting quietly for a while, she stood up to leave work.
