Chapter 312
"I'd like to... give it a try too."
"... And what is your reason?"
"Study hard, improve every day, and grow up to be a dragon useful to the Silver Dragon Clan!"
Xiao Guang patted his chest, his eyes filled with determination, as if he were about to enlist.
Leon looked at his youngest daughter with suspicion, feeling that her reason for enrolling in school was questionable.
Honey, are you sure you're not just going to school to have some fun?
Leon naturally wouldn't refuse his daughters' desire to learn more.
Bringing up the reason for enrollment again inevitably reminded General Leon of the reason Noa had applied to the Saint Hiss Academy at the "advanced age" of one year and two months:
"To defeat even more Dragon Slayer!"
That's incredibly filial!
I wonder if my three daughters will submit their old father as their graduation project after they graduate from college.
In conclusion, now that Mu En and Xiao Guang have made up their minds, Leon will definitely do his best to tutor them.
There is one month left until the next entrance exam for the Saint Hiss Academy, just like it was for Noa.
So Leon was quite confident that his two daughters would pass the test smoothly.
Noa is very talented, and Mu En and Xiao Guang are not bad either.
Although Little Moon usually acts a bit laid-back and Buddhist-like, that's only after she has learned everything she needs to learn.
Most importantly, Leon isn't the type of parent who thinks, "You've already learned everything, can't you do some previewing? All you do is play all day!"
Putting too much pressure on children often backfires.
As for Xiao Guang, there's even less to worry about.
Born with the divine body of a scientist, reading and learning are like breathing to her—simple yet an indispensable part of life.
In the future, Xiaoguang will be able to research the reversal magic of spatial magic on his own, which speaks volumes about his scientific research ability.
In addition, Leon already had experience tutoring Noa.
This time, passing the entrance exam for the Saint Hiss Academy will be a piece of cake for the father and his two daughters! A piece of cake!
"Although it sounds easy, are you overlooking something?"
That evening, after listening to Leon's wonderful vision, Losweiser raised the above questions.
"What... did I overlook?"
"Saint Hiss Academy has always placed great emphasis on family education, so in addition to assessing the young dragons during the entrance examination, the parents will also be assessed."
Losweiser, wearing a sheer nightgown, sat on the living room sofa, her long legs crossed, leaning lazily against the back of the sofa. "When Noa enrolled, didn't we also take that compatibility test?"
Leon suddenly realized.
What the Dragon Queen said is true.
Saint Hiss Academy does indeed have this rule.
He remembered when Noa enrolled, he and Losweiser weren't very familiar with each other, so they could only stay up all night playing "Truth or Dare" to get to know each other better.
It was during those nights that the two discovered that, in terms of appearance alone, they were each other's perfect match—
Ahem, that's not the point.
The key point is—
"We already tested Noa when she enrolled, do we need to test her again?" Leon asked.
Losweiser nodded. "If a Dragon race family has two children, and both of them have taken the academy's test, and the interval between the two tests is no more than one year, then the parents do not need to take the compatibility test again."
"But if it's been more than a year, you'll have to retake the assessment."
Leon raised an eyebrow. "There's such a rule...?"
"Yes, because although Dragon Race have long lifespans, all sorts of things can still happen in a year. These things can change a person, or even change a marital relationship, right?"
After hearing Losweiser's explanation, Leon began to ponder it carefully.
That seems to make sense.
A year is neither a long nor a short time, but it is enough to change the relationship between two people under certain circumstances.
It might be heading in a good direction, or it might be heading in a bad direction; it's impossible to predict.
Therefore, it is reasonable for the college to introduce this regulation.
"Two years have passed since Noa enrolled, and we're definitely going to have to take the second compatibility test."
Losweiser spoke slowly, a faint smile playing on her lips, looking at her fake husband by the bedside. "So, Leon, how about another round of confessions?"
Two years have passed.
Looking back, the two were like oil and water; if it weren't for their daughter, they would have fought long ago.
But two years have passed...
Although we've fought before, most of the time it's been in bed—
They even accidentally had an extra daughter.
Where can I go to seek justice?
Therefore, Losweiser felt it was quite necessary to have another round of honesty.
Leon shared similar thoughts with her.
Another point is that there aren't many opportunities to hear this Dragon Queen speak her mind without being stubborn.
He should cherish it.
"Okay. Then—"
"Hey, wait a minute."
Losweiser lowered her long legs, stood up from the sofa, and walked towards the storage room in her dragon-wing slippers. "Anyway, there's still a month until the test, so we can take our time with our confession round. So—oh, here it is."
As soon as she finished speaking, she walked out of the storage room with a bottle of red wine and two wine glasses in her hands.
"So, we can be honest over drinks, what do you think?" Losweiser smiled and swirled the glass in her hand.
Leon pursed his lips, looking somewhat timid.
He recalled the last time this Dragon Queen had forced him to drink a glass of wine, and then she had easily pried his mouth open.
His first fastball, "Melkwy, I like you," was played after he finished that drink.
Now Losweiser wants to force him to drink? Ha, no way!
"No, I'm not feeling well and can't drink much," Leon casually offered an excuse.
"Not feeling well? Then you should drink even more."
Losweiser walked to the bedside, took his wrist, and led him to the balcony. "Our Dragon Race wine is different from yours."
"How are they different?"
"Our wine can cure diseases, it's especially good for treating physical ailments," Losweiser said with feigned seriousness.
Leon grinned, a forced smile playing on his lips. "After I retire, I'll specialize in reselling wine between the Empire and your Silver Dragon Clan. Maybe I can make a fortune that way."
During their conversation, the couple had already reached the small table on the balcony.
Losweiser placed the two wine glasses on either side, then popped the cork off the wine bottle and poured the wine into the glasses.
"Huh? You're not running the farm anymore after you retired?"
After pouring the wine, Losweiser sat down leisurely, resting her chin on one hand and looking at Leon, her silver eyelashes fluttering. "I also want you to teach me how to ride a horse."
"I never said I wanted to start a farm with you..." Leon muttered.
"Oh, so the 'woman' in 'marrying a woman who is neither pretty nor ugly' doesn't refer to me," the Queen said, feigning disappointment.
Leon, habitually stubborn, blurted out, "Of course not."
Upon hearing this, Losweiser was taken aback, and the smile on her face froze.
She lowered her eyes, her voice low, "Oh, I see."
Leon glanced at her; the Dragon Queen looked somewhat unhappy.
He panicked, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something.
In fact, Leon knew that the conversation just now was just the couple's usual flirting, but he hadn't thought things through when he said "Of course not" at the end.
If it were before, when his relationship with Losweiser wasn't at this level, saying such things would have been perfectly acceptable;
But things are different now.
Different stages in a relationship require different ways of communicating.
The same sentence can have completely opposite effects depending on the context.
"Because, because you are very beautiful."
Leon said to Liu Er, "You're so beautiful, you've completely exceeded my standards."
After saying that, he secretly observed Losweiser's reaction.
Sure enough, women are auditory creatures, and the Dragon Queen was no exception.
She suppressed the urge to smile and retorted, "What, is it my fault that I'm pretty? Then go find someone ugly, don't come looking for me."
"Then forget it. Who would go looking for an ugly one when there's a pretty one available?"
Leon grinned, pulled out a chair, and sat down. "As the old saying goes, how can a woman protected by a lion fall in love with a wild dog?"
The Queen rested her chin on her hand and raised an eyebrow. "And then?"
How could a man who has been favored by angels be willing to fall into depravity?
General Leon is really an old woman who wears bras—one after another.
"Who favored you? Idiot, don't talk nonsense."
Except when she's jealous, Losweiser is easy to coax; give her a way out and she'll back down. Leon secretly rejoiced.
Little did he know, only Leon Casmod had such a privilege.
Do you think anyone else could win over the Silver Dragon Queen with just a few words?
Keep dreaming~
After the brief interlude, Losweiser slowly raised her glass. "So, shall we begin the truth game?"
Leon looked down at the red wine on the table.
Looks like I won't be able to escape Losweiser's drinking tonight.
"Okay, come on."
After a pause, Leon added, "But this time you can't force me to say... those weird things."
Losweiser smiled faintly, "Alright, I won't force you. Come on~"
She raised her glass and handed it to Leon.
Leon also raised his glass and gently clinked it against Losweiser's.
After clinking glasses, the couple each took a small sip.
The wine is rich and mellow, a fine wine she has treasured for many years. Even Leon, who doesn't drink often, can appreciate its charm.
"The first question..."
Losweiser turned to face Leon.
She rested her arm on the table, her other hand supporting her delicate face, silver strands of hair falling beside her ear. Her beautiful eyes gazed at the man before her, and she asked softly,
"Have you fallen in love with anyone in the past two years?"
"..."
