Chapter 288

"No wonder it needs to be rebuilt. This is no longer a throne; it's practically a VIP-only beanbag chair!"

Ah, Dragon Queen, you've become complacent!

How can a workaholic like me use such a comfortable workstation?

I suggest you move the throne to my bedroom; you can just grab a small stool and sit down.

Leon shifted between various poses on the throne.

Lying horizontally, lying vertically, legs in the air, like a carp doing a somersault, hanging upside down, standing on one leg like a rooster...

"Wow, that's awesome!"

Even the well-traveled General Leon couldn't help but offer such praise.

The fact that this throne can support so many resting postures shows that the Dragon Queen really put a lot of thought into it.

However, after enjoying himself, Leon suddenly realized a problem.

"Tsk... something's not right. Given her personality, she wouldn't build such a nice throne for no reason. She's not a consumerist."

Leon touched the armrest of the throne, unable to understand why Losweiser had gone to the trouble of rebuilding the throne.

Moreover, although it is still called a 'throne', which dragon king's throne is so spacious?

It's so spacious that Leon could practice a set of military boxing on it.

"I'd better ask her when she gets back. If she's really being extravagant, I'll have to give her a good talking to!"

Leon sat on the throne and waited patiently.

After an unknown amount of time, the campfire in the courtyard went out, and the noise gradually subsided.

Leon was also feeling drowsy at this point.

In a daze, he heard the crisp sound of high heels clicking on the ground behind the throne.

Without turning around, just by listening to the rhythm of his steps, Leon knew who had returned.

"Little lion~ my little lion~ are you there?"

She was humming an unknown tune and talking nonsense; she must have been quite drunk.

Leon stared straight ahead, rolled his eyes speechlessly, and made no intention of greeting her.

She came home so late after drinking; does she even know she has a home?

Only when the faint aroma of wine wafted into Leon's nostrils did Leon raise his head to look at her.

Losweiser's face was slightly flushed, her eyes were unfocused, and she had a silly smile on her face, holding a half-empty bottle of red wine in her hand.

"Good morning!" Losweiser greeted him.

"How much did you drink...?"

Losweiser hummed for a while, as if she were recalling something.

Finally, hold up two fingers.

"Two bottles and it's like this? If you can't drink it, then don't drink it."

"Two boxes."

"..."

Leon gave a thumbs up.

Losweiser smiled with narrowed eyes, then took a step forward and sat down on Leon's lap without any hesitation.

She wasn't a skinny, pale girl weighing seventy or eighty pounds. Her Your Majesty the Queen was well-endowed and very healthy. When she sat on Leon's lap, Leon could feel her weight very clearly.

"You really don't stand on ceremony at all."

Although Leon complained, he still carefully supported her waist to prevent her from falling over due to her drunkenness. "This is the Holy Temple. What if someone sees us?"

"It's okay, no one will see."

"I gave them the day off," Losweiser said. "Tonight, it's just the two of us in the entire Sanctuary Hall."

Leon sighed. "So, what do you want me to do here? You didn't get drunk and can't find your way back to your bedroom, so you're asking me to take you back?"

"Of course not, I remember how to get back to my bedroom." Losweiser puffed out her chest proudly.

Leon expressed his doubt, "Then which floor of the Holy Temple is our bedroom?"

"Emmmm... third floor!" Losweiser held up five fingers.

"It's the fourth floor."

"Ah! I also want to say it's the fourth floor! Yes, the fourth floor!" She lowered two fingers, then turned them into three.

This is utter nonsense!

Leon slapped himself in the face.

It's hopeless.

He pressed down on Losweiser's hand, sat up straight, moved closer to her, and faced her. "Put the bottle down, let's go back to sleep."

"Don't want."

"Why? You've had too much to drink."

"It's rare to have just the two of us. Wouldn't it be a shame to go to bed so early?"

Leon scoffed, "What scenery could possibly spoil the mood between us? Go back to sleep."

"I don't!"

Losweiser got into a fight with him, grabbing his shoulders and wrapping her tail around his calves.

The beauty's breath gently landed on Leon's nose, warm and carrying a hint of red wine.

It must be admitted that Losweiser is more charming when she's slightly tipsy than usual.

Her face, flushed with a rosy blush, looked as if she had just gone through a wild night; she was incredibly alluring, and even a fleeting glance was enough to make Leon's heart flutter.

Leon couldn't persuade her otherwise, so he had no choice but to wait for her to calm down before taking her back.

She sat on Leon's lap like a duck, her soft breasts pressing against Leon chest. She was very close, yet it seemed as if she was deliberately controlling the distance.

Her red lips brushed against Leon's lips, almost touching them. She knew perfectly well that if she kissed him now, Leon would not refuse.

But she stubbornly endured it, teasing him relentlessly.

Let the fire in your and Leon's hearts burn even more fiercely.

"How was my speech today?" Losweiser asked.

"To tell the truth."

"Of course."

"So cheesy!" Leon was truly outspoken. "It gave me goosebumps all over."

"Why are you being so mushy? Didn't you see how much my people think about the two of us?"

Losweiser said, "This just goes to show that our acting skills have really stuck with people, and everyone thinks we should be that loving. I used that to promote the revival plan for viviparous births. Humph, you idiot, you don't understand anything."

Leon's heart stirred slightly, and he tightened his embrace around Losweiser's waist before asking,

"So, were all those words you said in your speech... truly from the bottom of your heart?"

Losweiser raised her beautiful eyebrows.

"What do you think? Of course, that's not what I really think."

She leaned down, resting gently on Leon's shoulder, and played with his earlobe with her fingers, saying slowly, "It's all to make everyone believe in love, so of course I had to make it sound touching. You didn't... actually believe it, did you?"

"Yes, I'm serious. Are you going to take responsibility for me?"

Upon hearing this, Losweiser sat up abruptly, a hint of surprise and delight flashing across her slightly tipsy face. She then snorted twice and said, "Then you're finished. I won't take responsibility for you. I was just lying. If you take it seriously, it's your own problem, not mine."

"Is that so, Losweiser?"

The hand that was supporting her waist slowly moved to the base of her tail, and Leon gently stroked the base of her tail with his fingertips.

Losweiser's body went limp, but her mouth remained stubborn, "Of course! I don't love you at all... not at all."

She lay on Leon's chest, her fingers unconsciously tightening around his shirt.

Losweiser bit her lower lip, the alcohol frantically washing over her brain, and a strong feeling of 'unwillingness' welled up in her heart for no reason.

Finally, she grabbed Leon's collar, suddenly sat up, looked him in the eyes, and righteously denied what she had just said.

"I like you. Everything I said during the day was true. I've fallen in love. I'm doomed! What's going on?!"

Leon had long suspected that the little female dragon was being disingenuous and, having had a few drinks, would eventually tell the truth, so he wasn't in a hurry at all.

"What are you laughing at? Let me tell you, I'm just saying this because I've had too much to drink."

"When I'm sober tomorrow morning, I won't admit to anything!"

"Got it? Say something!"

She playfully shoved Leon's shoulder.

Leon continued to smile faintly.

He slowly sat up, one hand still gently stroking the base of her tail, the other slowly encircling her smooth, delicate back.

"Say more, Melkwy."

"I don't want to."

"Didn't you say that you're too drunk to count anything you say now, and you won't admit it tomorrow? Well then, what's wrong with saying a little more?"

Coaxing a drunken Dragon Queen is as easy as coaxing a child.

Coincidentally, General Leon was also an excellent childcare expert!

Losweiser was indeed swayed by his words.

She looked away, her face flushed, and spoke in a barely audible voice.

"So what do you want to hear?"

"Tell me you want to be with me for the rest of your life."

Losweiser pouted, "No... Ah~ Don't pinch my tail, you bad guy..."

She gave Leon's hand a token push, but he still held her tail firmly in his hand.

"Say it, you want to be with me, for the rest of your life." Leon pressed on relentlessly.

A blush spread to the tips of the Queen's ears.

She pursed her lips, wanting to speak but too shy to open her mouth.

Saying things like "to be together for a lifetime" is still embarrassing, even if you're drunk and not thinking clearly!

What a scoundrel! He only knows how to take advantage of others when they're in trouble.

"I want... I want to be with you... forever!"

After saying that, Losweiser buried her head in Leon's neck as if she were hiding from someone.

She clenched her toes so tightly that even the tips of her toes curled up, finally understanding the embarrassment Leon felt during his speech earlier that day, a feeling that gave him goosebumps all over.

Only after hearing Leon's laughter did Losweiser look up, then nudged his chest.

"Satisfied?"

"Satisfied."

"Keep gloating while you can, Leon. I won't admit to anything tomorrow."

Leon slowly stroked her flushed, burning cheeks, then gently reached down to her neck, pinched it lightly, and pulled it toward him little by little.

He gazed into those alluring, mesmerizing silver eyes and whispered,

"Then let tomorrow come later, Melkwy."

The vast Sanctuary Hall echoed with decadent, ambiguous whispers.
