Chapter 322

"Until... his bones are crushed to the bone, leaving not even a trace!"

Achoo!

"Daddy, do you have a cold?"

In front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the library, Mu En sat at the desk, holding a book called "Magic Fundamentals Theory" in his hand, and looked up at his father.

Leon rubbed his nose and sighed in relief. "No way..."

"Then why are you sneezing?"

"Maybe... someone is talking badly about me?"

That was more than just "talking bad things about him"; the old guard of the Empire even threatened to crush Leon's bones to dust.

Fortunately, General Leon was strong enough that such a vicious 'curse' only resulted in a sneeze.

"Could it be that Aunt Ischa was secretly complaining in her heart while repairing the gazebo that you smashed, Dad?"

"That's what Xiao Guang said, sitting across from me."

Leon smiled, walked over and patted his youngest daughter's head. "Settle down and study hard. Tomorrow, Daddy will give you both a test to see what level you've reached."

There are only twenty days left until the next entrance exam for the Saint Hiss Academy.

Judging from the learning progress of my two lovely daughters, they should have no problem handling the tests.

The key is what the best they can do is.

Noa passed the entrance exam with the youngest age and the highest score, so her younger sisters, Mu En and Xiao Guang, naturally did not want to fall behind.

"Okay, Daddy."

The Dragon girl continued to bury themselves in their books.

They're currently in the consolidation phase and don't really need Leon's help, which has left him somewhat idle.

The old father looked up at the wall clock; it was still early.

"You guys study on your own for a while, Daddy's going out for a bit."

"Yes, Daddy!"

"Remember to come downstairs for dinner later."

"Uh-huh!"

After giving his instructions, Leon got up and left the library.

He walked through the corridor, down the stairs, and came to the first-floor hall of the Holy Temple.

Losweiser was sitting on the renovated, oversized throne, dealing with a mountain of work documents.

There was no diplomacy or social engagement today. She wore only light makeup, a proper long dress, and a pendant necklace given to her by her grandmother.

Her silver long hair was casually draped behind her, but she still had the little braid that Leon had designed for her as a prank a long time ago.

This has become one of her signature little characteristics.

The hall was quiet. Leon tried his best to walk very quietly, but even he could still clearly hear the low thuds of his footsteps.

The beauty on the throne glanced at him, said nothing, looked away, and continued working at her desk.

Only after Leon walked up the steps and stood beside the throne did Losweiser speak, "Is there something you need?"

Are you... busy today?

Losweiser gestured towards the pile of documents and reports on the table. "What do you think? You only stayed at my sister's house for two days and accumulated so much work. I might have to work overtime tonight."

"Oh... is there anything I can help with?"

Losweiser paused slightly as she wrote, said nothing, but simply moved aside to make room for her. "Come sit here."

"Ha?"

"Didn't you say you'd help me? Come sit here."

"Oh."

Leon obediently sat down.

The moment his buttocks touched the throne, the familiar sensation evoked a wonderful memory for General Leon.

Not long ago, the throne had just been renovated, and he and Losweiser staged a "bombardment of the Golden Palace".

It took 'rebellion' to the extreme.

However, since then, the couple has never submitted their homework here.

Firstly, they were afraid of being discovered by their tribe. The word "death" alone was not enough to describe the situation, and the two of them might have to live on another planet.

Secondly, the throne symbolizes rule and power. Although submitting homework on it can satisfy the couple's rebellious and forbidden desires and provide a more exciting experience than usual, they still need to retain a trace of respect for tradition.

So, having something like the 'Golden Palace' once or twice is enough; doing it too often is a bit... unrefined.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Leon leaned forward to get a better look at the documents on the table. "Which one do you need my help with?"

"Hmm? I don't need any of them," Losweiser said.

Leon was taken aback. "Then why did you let me sit here?"

"You're helping me by sitting here."

Losweiser said, "I need someone to go through these tedious jobs with me. This person has to be good-tempered, have high emotional intelligence, and be a bit humorous. It would be even better if he were handsome."

"... Dragon Queen, you are so shallow."

"How is it superficial that I handle all the affairs of the tribe with the depth and thinking of a king, while enjoying the emotional value brought to me by the man I admire by my side?"

Losweiser slowly turned her head, a faint smile on her lips, and looked at Leon with seductive eyes, "Oh, by the way, besides your emotional value, you're also very pleasing to the eye."

See how wonderful it is to grow on the Queen's XP?

On a smaller scale, it can ensure you survive a couple more sentences after being captured, making it easier for you to use Blood Seduction on the Queen.

On a grander scale, you don't have to do anything; just sit here, and a high and mighty Queen will come and smile and praise you for being handsome.

Leon suppressed the urge to smile and silently accepted Losweiser's praise.

Seeing that Leon was flattered, Losweiser smiled faintly and said nothing more, turning back to her work.

After a short while, Losweiser spoke again.

Why are you asking me if I'm busy?

"Emmm... I'd like to ask you out for a walk."

Losweiser blinked. "Are you... inviting me on a date?"

Leon pursed his lips, his gaze shifting slightly, "I suppose so..."

He doesn't need to worry about his daughters' studies for the time being, and his physical recovery is also passive, so Leon has been quite restless these past few days.

After much deliberation and struggle, he finally came to find Losweiser.

Going out for a walk and clearing your mind is a good idea, isn't it?

But the Queen's answer was:

"I don't want to."

Leon:?

"We're not boyfriend and girlfriend, why should I go on a date with you?"

Leon stared at her smiling profile, paused for a moment, and then realized that the Dragon Queen was pretending not to understand.

"How can we not be boyfriend and girlfriend?" Leon asked bluntly.

Now that he knew that Losweiser was playing a flirtatious game with him, he didn't need to be timid and asked directly.

After all, a straight shot can overcome any method.

"You've never even formally confessed your feelings, so of course you're not boyfriend and girlfriend."

Oh, a straight ball met an even straighter straight ball.

Leon was quickly defeated, scratching his nose somewhat awkwardly, "Okay..."

He didn't extend any further invitations, choosing instead to keep quiet and silently provide Losweiser with emotional support, and... to please her eyes.

Losweiser didn't say anything and continued working.

The afternoon passed quickly.

The couple sat side by side on the throne. Losweiser was constantly dealing with those tedious and boring documents and reports. When she got tired, she would lean gently on Leon's shoulder and rest for a while.

After the topic of "not being boyfriend and girlfriend if you don't confess your feelings" ended, they didn't chat much anymore.

As dinner time approached, Losweiser put down her pen, stretched beautifully, and revealed her graceful curves.

She felt a ticklish sensation in her heart as she looked at the man beside her.

The Queen breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Leon beside her.

He seemed... a little down?

Overall, not very active.

He's probably still struggling with the fact that he asked her out but was rejected.

Losweiser knew him; she knew that this straight man was actually a very petty guy.

It's rare for someone to take the initiative, but they're rejected. Of course, they'll secretly hold a grudge.

Losweiser smiled and stood up. "After dinner, wait for me in the cherry blossom grove on the back hill."

Leon's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "Are you going on a date with me, Your Majesty the Queen?"

Losweiser scoffed, "It's just a routine patrol of the back mountain, not a date at all."

She practically had "I'm being arrogant" written all over her face.

Leon understands her.

The couple smiled at each other, their eyes filled with an ambiguous, almost suggestive, connection.

After exchanging a brief glance, Losweiser turned her head away, crossed her arms, and walked down the stairs in her high heels. "Going to dinner."

Leon followed.

At the dinner table, the daughters reported on the new knowledge they had learned that afternoon.

Leon and Losweiser listened attentively and offered their positive feedback.

After dinner, the couple exchanged a knowing glance. Losweiser subtly gestured with her chin toward the back of the mountain, and Leon immediately understood.

While the maid was clearing the table, Leon went ahead and headed to the back mountain.

Long-married couples tend to have this kind of tacit understanding.

Sometimes, a single glance is enough to tell someone about a secret rendezvous that's inconvenient to talk about directly.

He arrived at the cherry blossom grove on the back hill.

Before long, footsteps could be heard from not far away.

Leon looked in the direction of the sound, then frowned slightly.

Because Losweiser didn't come alone.

She was accompanied by her maid, Milan.

To the astonishment of the dog-man, Losweiser led Milan to him.

A smile played on her lips as she contentedly observed the expression she most wanted to see.

"Milan is here too..." Leon said.

"Yes, Your Prince, I have come to accompany Her Your Majesty the Queen inspection of the back mountain," Milan said respectfully.

What happened to our date?

It really was an inspection!
