Chapter 343
He looked at his beloved daughter's knowing smile, which seemed to gradually overlap with the mischievous smile of Losweiser in his memory.
Gui Gui, as expected of her mother, even though she looks aloof and cool on the outside, Noa still has the same cunning side as her Mom.
Honey, couldn't you have inherited more of your Dad's personality?
Look how honest your Dad is. He always speaks his mind and never argues.
"Daddy's throat doesn't hurt," Leon replied.
Noa tilted her head, her smile undiminished, "Then why are you coughing, Daddy?"
"Daddy's face suddenly became dry."
"Your face has become dry, and so has your throat?"
"Yes, that's called a chain reaction."
"Oh dear, what should we do, Daddy?"
"..."
"Why aren't you saying anything, Daddy?"
"So you're just not planning to kiss your Dad— "
Before Leon could finish his complaint, Noa leaned in and gently kissed his cheek.
"Daddy, what were you about to say?" Noa was still smiling, smiling like a little fox who had succeeded in her scheme.
Leon scratched his nose, turned his head, and rubbed the tuft of hair on Mu En's head. "N-nothing."
Although the process was a bit bumpy, I finally got a kiss from my daughter.
Beautiful.
They then discussed the general arrangements for the play, after which Noa took her sisters back to bed.
The hot pot banquet was also drawing to a close.
Leon and Losweiser slowly left the courtyard.
"I won again," Losweiser said abruptly, her tone filled with undisguised pride and boastfulness.
Leon rolled his eyes at her. "What did you win this time?"
Noa kissed me first, and then she kissed you.
"That's because you finally made the decision to participate in the play."
Leon analyzed logically, "If it were up to me, Noa would definitely kiss me first."
"Tsk tsk tsk, that's hard to say." Losweiser crossed her arms, the tip of her tail pointing proudly upwards.
"Tch, I'm too lazy to argue with you."
Losweiser chuckled.
When a jerk says "I'm too lazy to have sex with you," it means he's admitting defeat in this contest.
Oh dear, it's just that our General Lai is too shy to say it directly~ As his wife, of course I have to take care of him!
Even a fake wife is still a wife. In order to make a living, she should fulfill the responsibilities of a real wife when necessary.
"Then, let's get ready."
"I'm about to meet the legendary... Claudia," Losweiser said.
The couple went to the Saint Hiss Academy over the weekend.
The daughters usually spend their weekends at home, but with less than a month until the drama competition held by the academy, they have to work overtime to rehearse.
The rehearsal took place in an empty classroom at the academy.
As for why we didn't choose to hold the event at the students' homes, the reason is quite simple:
Rehearsing a play cannot be considered a 'legitimate reason' for interactions between Dragon Race.
This is especially true for the 'leadership class' of each tribe.
Whether or not someone would take the opportunity to engage in inter-tribal 'political struggles' if rehearsals were to be held in other tribes is another matter.
If, during rehearsals, an important member of the Dragon Race were to have an accident, it would be a very difficult situation for both Dragon Race to handle.
Therefore, rehearsing plays at the academy is undoubtedly the best and safest choice.
There weren't many students at school on the weekend.
Most of the people coming and going were young dragons, busy with their graduation tasks and not wasting a single minute.
The baby dragons that occasionally passed by the couple were dressed in all sorts of colorful clothes.
Losweiser recognized that it wasn't a costume unique to certain Dragon Race; it was probably a prop costume prepared for a play rehearsal.
"When you meet Claudia later, how do you plan to approach her?" Losweiser asked.
Leon, hands in his pockets, gazed straight ahead, strolling leisurely.
"Let's start by having a normal chat as parents. We can't just go up and ask, 'Ms. Claudia, do you know Tiger Lawrence? He's my mentor. What's your relationship with him?'"
Losweiser covered her mouth and chuckled, "Then your first words to Claudia will probably be your last."
"Hmm. The Sea Dragon race went into seclusion for some reason thirty years ago, so they must be very wary of outsiders."
Leon paused for a moment, then said, "In that case, it's quite a miracle that Noa's classmate Helena was able to persuade Claudia to act in the play."
Losweiser shrugged. "It's not a miracle."
What is that?
The Queen stopped and glanced at Leon. "It's a mother's support for her daughter."
Leon was taken aback, then chuckled and looked back into her silver eyes.
"Ever since Xiaoguang was born, you've become more and more like a married woman. Now even when you talk, it's as if you want to have 'I'm a mother of three' plastered on your forehead."
Losweiser rolled her eyes at him, turned her head away, shuffled around, wagged her tail, and said leisurely, "It's not that exaggerated."
"I don't even need to look at you, Dragon Queen, you must be trying not to laugh right now."
Losweiser paused, then quickly suppressed a smile.
But that slight pause in her steps betrayed her.
Leon smiled smugly, then said with feigned regret,
"Ah, I miss that aloof Queen who always wanted to take revenge on me."
"Hmph, if you really miss it that much, I can restore it."
"That's not necessary."
Losweiser playfully shoved his arm.
The couple chatted and laughed all the way, and soon arrived at the empty classroom that Noa had mentioned.
The classroom door was open.
Leon stood at the door and peered inside, only to find that there were no adults around, and his beloved daughters were not there either.
There was only one blue-haired girl sweeping the classroom floor with a broom.
Leon was slightly taken aback, thinking he had entered the wrong classroom, so he knocked on the door and asked,
"Excuse me, is this Noa's group's rehearsal room?"
Hearing the sound, the blue-haired girl turned her head.
Upon seeing the girl's face clearly, Leon and Losweiser recognized her as Noa, the classmate Helena had brought home some time ago.
Although blue hair is already a very distinctive feature among humans;
However, they are not uncommon among Dragon Race.
In the few years that Leon has lived here, he has seen all sorts of hair colors—
Of course, my favorite color is silver.
Of course, liking silver has nothing to do with Losweiser (this is important, it will be on the test of being stubborn).
So the couple didn't immediately confirm that it was Helena, and to avoid the embarrassment of mistaking her for someone else, Leon knocked on the door.
"Uncle Leon, Auntie Losweiser, you're here!"
Helena put down her broom and came over to greet her warmly.
"Hello, Helena. Why are you all alone here? Where did Noa and the others go?"
"Oh, they've gone to prepare the props and costumes, they'll be back soon."
"Oh, I see. You've even thought of props and costumes. It seems you're very well prepared," Losweiser said with a smile.
Helena nodded. "Yes, because Noa values all kinds of competitions, so we have to do our best in every rehearsal and strive to get good results in the main competition."
Hearing the Sea Dragon race girl say this, Losweiser leaned close to Leon's ear and whispered...
"You used to complain that Noa wasn't more like you, and here she is. Her desire and obsession with the championship are completely inherited from you."
"It's as if you're not competitive at all."
How am I competitive?
"You even have to compete with me to see who kisses your daughter first."
"... Tch~"
"Uncle and Aunt, please have a seat."
Helena cleared out two chairs and poured two glasses of hot water.
The couple sat down, Helena immediately handed them the script for the play.
Leon flipped through the script; the plot was roughly the same as what Noa had told him that day.
The story of a valiant knight who falls in love with Princess from an enemy kingdom, and how they eventually get married.
"Helena, Noa said you wrote this script?" Losweiser asked.
"Yes, that's right," Helena replied obediently.
"Wow, that's amazing, Helena. You're so young to be able to write a script with such a complete structure and story."
Although reading the script gave Losweiser the feeling of reading an autobiography.
But she had to admit that it was truly remarkable for a ten-year-old child to write such a well-structured script.
"Oh, actually not, Auntie~"
Helena smiled modestly and scratched her hair a little shyly, "My Mom gave me a lot of inspiration when I was writing this script."
Keyword: Her Mom.
The couple exchanged a glance, feeling they could use this topic to learn more about the mysterious Ms. Claudia before rehearsals began.
"Is your Mom ... good at writing these stories?" Losweiser asked.
"Hmm... I wouldn't say I'm good at it."
Helena pulled up a chair and sat down beside her, slowly saying, "My Mom often organizes and compiles ancient books and documents, so she's very skilled in using language and controlling the rhythm. As for this script..."
Helena sat on a chair, gently swinging her long legs. Underneath her school skirt were white stockings, which were soft like half-melted ice cream when the sunlight shone on them.
She smiled, her eyes narrowing, and looked at Leon and Losweiser.
"My Mom said the inspiration for this script came from life."
Upon hearing this, the couple couldn't help but gasp.
Could it be that your Sea Dragon race also has an unparalleled, heaven-defying, and tragic love story between a human and a dragon?
No, it can't be that bad... right?
In any case, General Leon didn't really believe that there could be a second "Dragon Knight" as brave as him in the world.
Losweiser was naturally skeptical as well.
However, there was one point that she felt was worth considering.
