Chapter 298
The Queen glanced at her husband sideways, silently making a grudge against him for 'squatting first'.
What?
You won't let this this Queen be jealous, and you won't even let this this Queen hold a grudge?
It really is.
As Losweiser was muttering to herself, a tuft of pink hair caught her eye.
"Mom, hug me~"
Wow, it seems like someone still cares about me. So what if I squatted down and hugged my daughter first? My daughter asked for the hug!
It's way more advanced than yours!
General Leon, who was snuggling with his child, could never have guessed that his seemingly aloof and elegant wife's inner thoughts when she was with him could fill an entire narrative.
The couple each carried one of their daughters up the steps.
When Noa saw her parents coming over, she straightened her posture and said, "Daddy and Mom, you're back."
"Hmm, have you taken good care of your younger sisters at home?"
Noa smiled and nodded, "Yes, Daddy."
Leon held Mu En in one arm and patted Noa's head with the other, saying, "Noa is the best."
Juan Wang blushed and looked away.
Leon knows his eldest daughter well. Compared to questions like "Have you been behaving well at home?" or "How are your magic lessons going?", Noa prefers Leon to ask her questions like "Have you been a good older sister and taken good care of your younger sister?"
Because it would make Noa feel like she's an adult too.
Of course, in some ways, she is indeed similar to an adult, and even more outstanding than an adult.
The family of five entered the Holy Temple, chatting and laughing.
Dinner was prepared by the maids.
When Milan was serving the food, Losweiser noticed a smile on her lips and wondered what made her so happy.
Losweiser didn't ask any further questions.
But when Milan brought the dishes up a second time, she was still smiling.
Even though Losweiser was oblivious to what was going on around her, that sweet smile still piqued her curiosity.
Milan.
"Yes, Your Majesty, what is it?" Milan stood beside Losweiser's seat, bowing slightly.
"Did something happy happen to you?" Losweiser asked with a smile.
She tried to appear less serious and spoke in a gentle tone.
Upon hearing this, Milan blushed. She smoothed her hair and whispered, "N-nothing, Your Majesty."
Before she finished speaking, Shirley appeared from behind, put her arm around her best friend's shoulder, and said with a grin, "Haven't you heard, Your Majesty? Milan is in love—mmm!"
Milan immediately covered Shirley's mouth, "What are your Guard corps' scouts doing in our maid corps? Go back to your posts!"
Losweiser's eyes flickered slightly. "Oh~ so it's the first stirrings of love."
Upon hearing this, General Leon, who was eating nearby, suddenly paused, inwardly complaining:
You Dragon Race live for hundreds of years, you really are late bloomers when it comes to love.
"No, Your Majesty! We just... we only touched each other briefly... The dishes are all served, Your Majesty, please enjoy your meal."
After saying that, Milan grabbed Shirley's hand and quickly left the restaurant, muttering, "Stop talking so much!"
Shirley chuckled.
As the footsteps faded into the distance, Losweiser turned back to look at the food on her plate.
Milan has been in the maid troupe for a long time, but there has never been any gossip about her.
But recently I suddenly want to fall in love...
Could it be because Losweiser used her "epic romance" with Leon for publicity some time ago, which resonated with the little maid?
Did this make her unable to suppress her longing for a beautiful love?
Hmm~~~
Excellent! Long live the great Silver Dragon Clan! Every dragon deserves a share!
"Hey, what are you grinning about? You're not in a relationship." Leon snapped his fingers in front of Losweiser's nose.
Losweiser snapped out of her daze, her face hardening. "I may not be in a relationship, but I'm married, so what?"
His retort left Leon speechless.
"Oh my god~~ Mom's so shy~~" Xiao Guang teased from the side.
After a few lighthearted banter, dinner continued.
The three little ones finished eating quickly and went to the backyard to play games.
The couple leisurely enjoyed their dinner.
"Speaking of which, when you were in the cave, you told your master that you wanted to practice Primal Magic and asked him to help you find it."
Losweiser asked, "Why didn't you just say I wanted to practice?"
Leon put down his knife and fork, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then replied,
"If I said I wanted to practice Primal Magic, my master might have some reservations, but if I said I would practice it myself, the old man would be very willing to help me."
"So that's how it is."
Leon's eyes flickered slightly. "What, you didn't expect that, did you?"
Losweiser rolled her eyes at him. "Of course I thought of that. I just wanted to hear your answer."
Are you satisfied with my answer?
"It's alright, I'm quite satisfied."
The opponent successfully used their signature skill, "stubbornness," and successfully defused your provocation.
Leon smiled and lowered his head to fiddle with his fork.
The fork tapped lightly on the plate, producing a crisp, rhythmic sound.
It's not noisy, just a little thing to pass the time.
Meanwhile, Losweiser continued to enjoy her dinner at a leisurely pace.
"Why don't you go out and play with your daughters now that you've eaten?" Losweiser asked casually.
Leon casually said, one arm draped over the back of the chair, "Too lazy to move."
"Too lazy to move? Hmph, you just want to fulfill your duty as a husband and have dinner with your wife, right?"
"Oh my gosh—"
Leon's mouth almost popped out of his head. "Stop being so narcissistic, Dragon Queen. I just wanted to observe the eating habits of Dragon Race."
"Then what?"
"Then I published a book titled 'The Years I Was Captured by the Silver Dragon'."
"It sounds like a pirated book that you'd find at a street stall."
"Haha, Your Majesty, you're so funny. Go and eat your food."
Losweiser suppressed the urge to grin wildly and continued eating.
Shortly after, the Head Maid Anna came to see him.
"Excuse me, Your Majesty, Your Prince."
Just then, Losweiser also finished her meal.
Leon handed her two tissues, which she took and used to wipe her mouth. Then she looked at Anna and asked, "Is there something you need?"
"That's right, Your Majesty. Didn't you recently call for everyone to engage in free love and revitalize our race? The response has been quite positive."
Anna said, "But... as you know, traditional Dragon Race are not very good at interacting with the opposite sex, let alone falling in love or communicating feelings."
Losweiser nodded thoughtfully. "Indeed, I hadn't considered that."
"Yes, quite a few people have come to me these past two days, saying that I have been by His Your Majesty's side the longest and must have learned a lot of His Your Majesty and the Prince's love secrets, so they want me to teach them."
Anna shook her head with a wry smile. "But I know nothing about love... So, Your Majesty Prince, what do you think...? Would you like to personally impart your valuable experience about love to everyone?"
The couple looked at each other knowingly.
Then we turned on in-team voice chat.
Leon: What the hell is this about imparting experience?! What can I teach them? How to be captured by the enemy and then impregnate them?!
Losweiser: Marriage of convenience doesn't work for everyone, so it has to be done step by step.
Leon (?): Are you really thinking about my words seriously, Your Majesty?
Losweiser: I think Anna's suggestion is good. Now that we've taken the lead, we can't just let them in and then abandon them. We have to teach them how to fall in love thoroughly.
Leon: You talk as if you're really good at dating...
Losweiser: Don't I still have you?
Leon: Me? I didn't say I was going to help you—
"It's settled then, Anna. Tomorrow I will share my experience with His Prince on this matter."
Leon:?
Alright, alright, Dragon Queen, that's fine!
Evening, in the study.
The couple were discussing how to impart their love experience to the people of Losweiser the next day.
Leon was deeply skeptical of the operation.
"Your people came to you with genuine feelings seeking your help, but you responded with a fabricated romantic experience. I find that very inappropriate."
"At a time like this, where am I supposed to find real dating experience? I'll just have to make do with you."
"How dare you, Dragon Queen! I am your rightful husband, how could I be just a substitute?"
The Queen crossed her arms, raised her eyebrows, and teased, "One minute you're talking about a fake relationship, the next you're calling him your legitimate husband. You change your tune very quickly, Casmod."
"I have a very flexible set of criteria for judging our relationship."
Losweiser chuckled and shook her head. "Alright, whether it's a fake romance or a legitimate marriage, we need to come up with something tonight, otherwise we won't have anything to talk about tomorrow, which will be a disappointment and not conducive to the great plan of revitalizing the race."
Leon sat in his chair, legs casually crossed. "So, where would Your Majesty the Queen like to begin your summary?"
"I don't really know how to share normal romantic relationships... I'll go look through some novels."
As she spoke, Losweiser walked to the bookshelf and picked out a few romance novels.
The development of romance novels nowadays is pretty much the same, basically revolving around just a few stages:
They met and parted ways, then reunited by chance, and were reconnected because of something, finally holding hands, hugging and kissing.
Losweiser flipped through the pages for a while and found classic dating tropes that could be applied to her and Leon.
Her encounter and acquaintance with Leon is rather abstract.
So abstract is it that even she herself finds it hard to believe it today.
"How can we embellish the process of how we met in a way that everyone can accept?" Losweiser asked.
Leon frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said quite seriously,
"That's easy! Just say you fell in love with me at first sight, then relentlessly pursued me for two years before I finally agreed to be with you, and then—"
"Pah! Leon, can you tell me what your face is made of? I want to use it to reinforce the outer walls of my Silver Dragon Sanctuary; it would be as solid as a rock and unbreakable!"
General Leon grinned, then began to analyze the situation in detail for Losweiser.
"I'm not making this up. Think about it, what was the first thing you said to me when you first entered the dungeon?"
