Chapter 323

"Hmm... it's... it's fine."

Leon couldn't very well tell the maid, "I'm going on a date with your Queen, you can go cool off somewhere else."

Although Milan wouldn't be angry—he might even be excited about the CP gossip—that would more or less make it seem like he was being manipulated by Losweiser.

Looking at the expression on her foolish husband's face, Losweiser couldn't be more satisfied.

Yes, yes, that's it.

"How could this happen? I really want to be alone with her, but why is she with someone else? Waaah, my wife, my wife, I want to hold your hand but I can't."

His expression.

Sigh, men! Not long ago they could hold their own against me, but now...

Oh no! You've fallen in love!

"Milan, go take a look over there. The Prince go to the other side," Losweiser said.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Milan, being sensible, immediately turned around and jogged away.

Turning her gaze away from Milan, Losweiser looked at Leon and asked with a mischievous grin, "Did you just momentarily think that our romantic evening together was going to be ruined?"

"Tch, what a lunatic."

Leon waved his hand and turned away, not wanting to pay any attention to the Dragon Queen.

Losweiser then took his hand. "Oh, are you throwing a tantrum, my little lion?"

"Stop disgusting me, Dragon Queen... That's enough."

If we keep going, it might turn into a melodramatic soap opera about a domineering female CEO.

Does General Leon have no dignity?!

Losweiser covered her mouth and chuckled, then stopped teasing him. "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore."

She tilted her head towards the cherry blossom grove. "Shall we go for a stroll?"

"Um."

The couple strolled hand in hand through the cherry blossom grove.

They first talked about their daughters' academic progress, and then about the Constantine Resurrection Tournament.

"The Empire has mastered that abnormal fusion magic... It seems the wars ahead will be tough," Losweiser said.

"It's alright."

Leon said, "My detonation spell can't work on a single dragon scale; once used, the other five scales will also explode. And the Heart-protecting Dragon Scale I saw in the future were all placed together, so... I guess the Empire is probably cursing me to death by now."

Losweiser chuckled. "Then why didn't you use the detonation magic sooner? That way, Constantine wouldn't have been able to be reborn as a fusion beast, right?"

"You mean, one morning I woke up in bed, opened my eyes, and suddenly, on a whim, snapped my fingers, and then the Empire's Dragon Scale Storage Room exploded?"

Leon turned to look at the silver-haired beauty beside him, "That would be too undignified."

Losweiser gently punched his arm. "You're going to add all that ritual now. Because of your rituals, my sister's lawn and gazebo in the yard have to be rebuilt."

Leon laughed and said, "So what if it needs to be rebuilt? It's not my money anyway."

The couple joked with each other, and the conversation naturally shifted from Ischa to her grandmother.

"Oh, by the way, my grandmother wrote this morning saying she'll be visiting my sister next week."

Losweiser said, "I was thinking of bringing my daughters along so we can take a family photo. What do you think?"

Leon nodded. "No problem."

"Hmm. Perfect... Perhaps I can try asking Grandma again about... the Far North."

A week later, the Melkwy family reunited at Ischa's Red Dragon Sanctuary.

This was truly the most people present ever; everyone was there except for the parents of the Losweiser's sisters, whom they had never met.

Leon held Mu En in his arms, looking at the room full of dragons, and thought to himself, "If I had handed over all these Special Merit back when I was still in the Dragon Slayer Army, I would have become rich."

Alas, it's a pity. He has now earned three minor first-class merits along with one of the Special Merit.

Times have changed, Lord Leon.

"Grandma, how long do you plan to stay this time?"

At the dinner table, Losweiser asked.

"It may take some time."

Veronica said, "There have been some unexpected issues with the exploration project in the Far North. I'm sure Principal Olet has already told you about it."

Losweiser nodded.

The "accident" that Grandmother was referring to was that part of their survey results were stolen by the Ironwing Dragon King.

Leon and Losweiser exchanged a glance; they both knew perfectly well where the so-called 'survey results' had gone—it had fallen into the hands of the Empire.

But they didn't know exactly what it was. Grandmother Veronica and Principal Olet were both riddle tellers, and they couldn't get any answers from them.

So he could only wait until he met with his master and Rebecca again in a while to see if he could get any useful information.

However, one thing is certain: anything that the empire would go to such lengths to obtain must be extremely important.

It may even be related to the reason for the Empire's cooperation with the Dragon Race.

Leon needs to figure this out.

"After the accident, we suspended the exploration project, and we haven't decided when to restart it yet."

Grandmother Veronica said, "At the very least, we need to find out who stole our survey results and what their purpose was."

Leon already has the answer.

And the latter is the truth he is craving.

However, due to his human identity, even though he shared the same goal as Grandmother Veronica, he still couldn't directly confront her.

Despite the terrible future, when Losweiser revealed Leon's human side identity to her daughter and grandmother, everyone understood and accepted it.

But that's only the result under extremely special circumstances.

If Leon were to reveal his true identity now, various steps would be missing, and no one could be certain whether the final outcome would be the same as the future he had experienced.

He must not gamble his current happiness on an uncertain outcome.

That would only hurt my daughter, and also... Losweiser.

So... let's wait and see for now, since at least we all have the same goal.

"Well, Grandma, you'll have more time to spend with Mu En and the others then," Losweiser said with a smile.

8. Shan Linjiu Lingqi Jiu Wubaqun Veronica also smiled, took Xiao Guang from Ischa's arms, and pinched her tender cheeks, "It's been so long, Xiao Guang has grown up."

The Little Pink Hair smiled with her eyes narrowed, hugged her great-grandmother tightly, and instantly established an unbreakable bond great-grandmother.

From hundreds of years old dragons to her two- or three-year-old second sister, the Silver Third Princess Aurorla's main appeal is to appeal to all ages.

"By the way, Grandma, since you're not in a hurry to leave this time, let's go to Sky City tomorrow and take a family photo," Ischa suggested.

Veronica naturally had no objection. "Sure, it's rare that our whole family is here."

Upon hearing the word 'family,' Ischa blinked, put down her knife and fork, pursed her lips, and tentatively asked,

"Grandma, although you've never been willing to talk about our parents with me and Little Los since we were little... after all these years, couldn't you at least tell us if they're still alive?"

Based on the timeline, more than two hundred years ago was a time when the Dragon Race was experiencing a severe internal conflict.

Today's allies, tomorrow they'll turn on each other.

Therefore, it was common for the Dragon King to fall.

Ischa always felt that the reason her grandmother rarely mentioned their parents was probably because they had died in the internal strife of the Dragon Race.

Upon hearing this, Losweiser also looked up at her grandmother. For so many years, she had been waiting for the answer to this question.

Seeing that the two sisters had brought it up again, Veronica sighed softly.

"Alright, now that you've all become qualified kings, it's indeed necessary to learn about your parents."

"Ischa, you just asked if they are still alive."

"I can tell you with absolute certainty that yes, they are still alive."

The two sisters were slightly excited after receiving such a definite answer.

Ischa opened her mouth, wanting to ask further, but her grandmother waved her hand to interrupt her.

"I know what else you want to ask, Ischa, but I can't go into details about where they are or what they're doing. I can only tell you that your parents are dedicating themselves to a great cause, far greater than what we are doing in the Far North."

After saying that, Veronica lowered her head and continued to slowly cut the steak on her plate, her calm demeanor as if the question and answer from just now had never happened.

Seeing this, Losweiser and her sister exchanged a glance and tacitly stopped asking questions.

Knowing that their parents are still alive is enough.

As long as we are alive, there will always be a day when we meet again.

After a slightly heavy topic, the family started talking about the children.

It's a rare family reunion dinner, so it's better to talk about happy things.

After dinner, the maids came to clean the dining room.

The Leon family also went to their guest rooms to rest early.

It was the familiar couple's suite again; the couple was already used to it.

At midnight, on the rooftop of the Red Dragon Sanctuary, Ischa leaned gently against the railing, holding a bottle of red wine in her hand. Without a glass, she drank directly from the bottle.

Her beautiful face was slightly flushed under the influence of alcohol, and the cool night breeze lifted her long hair, making it look like a fire burning in the night.

A short while later, the rooftop door opened, and Veronica stepped out.

"Grandma, it's so late and you're still not asleep."

"You've been secretly drinking again." Veronica stood beside Ischa, her tone slightly serious.

A slight smile appeared on Ischa's slightly tipsy face. She awkwardly put the bottle aside and said, "I'm not drinking anymore."

"It's because you used to always take Little Los to the wine cellar to sneak a sip of my wine, which has made her just like you now, always wanting to have a sip when she has free time."

"Oh, Grandma, what king doesn't drink? It's one of the ways to win over the people!" Ischa said confidently, her mind working so fast, she didn't seem drunk at all.

Veronica rolled her eyes at her granddaughter, then smiled helplessly, "You two... always give me a headache."

Ischa put her arm around her grandmother's shoulder and pressed her face against hers, "In front of others, we are high and mighty kings, but in front of you, we are still just little girls who know nothing."

"A little girl who's over two hundred years old?"

"Tch~ As long as I don't get married, I'll always be a little girl."

"But your sister is different; she's been married for three years."

Upon hearing this, Ischa suddenly remembered something. "Oh, right, Grandma, I saw Xiao Little Los's new necklace when she came last time. She said it was a wedding gift from you."

"Yeah, what, you want one too?"

"Let me think about it!"

"Then you should get married too, and I'll give you a ride."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Red Dragon Queen grabbed her grandmother's hand and began stomping her feet and pleading, "I'm against marriage, Grandma, you know that, please give it to me, I beg you~"

It was also because of the alcohol that Isa was in such a good mood; otherwise, no matter how close Ischa was to her grandmother, she wouldn't be like this now.

It's as if if you give her a bed, she'll immediately start rolling around on the floor begging for gifts.

Veronica shook her head and smiled, then took out a delicate little gift box from her pocket.

"Here, this is for you."

Ischa paused in her coquettish act, instantly sobering up considerably. "Oh, Grandma, you're really something!"

"Open it and take a look."

Ischa nodded and opened the gift box, inside which was a jade thumb ring.
