Chapter 393

"To completely thwart the empire's conspiracy, end this dirty war, and free the people from their suffering, we still need the final piece of the puzzle."

"And this piece of the puzzle will have to be completed by the masters."

101 I'll eat you for the rest of my life!

After receiving this bombshell news from Constantine, Leon also had a feeling that the day when this conspiracy would end was drawing ever closer.

So it's not an exaggeration for him to say that the progress at his master's place is the final piece of the puzzle.

The next meeting with his master is probably in about a month.

Even if the master's progress is slow, Leon can still provide such a powerful clue.

Following clues to gather evidence is much better than wandering around aimlessly.

"No matter what, we must not let those ambitious people in the empire continue to act recklessly."

In the evening, Leon leaned slightly against the balcony railing, gazing at the deep night sky.

His mind was in a jumble. Although the day of overthrowing that dog emperor's conspiracy was not far off, it felt more like the darkest hour before dawn, the most dangerous time.

Every step from now on must be taken with greater care than before.

Leon didn't want all his efforts to be in vain.

The sound of high heels suddenly came from behind, temporarily stopping Leon from his random thoughts.

He turned around, and the silver-haired beauty stepped to stand beside him, gazing out from behind the railing. Her profile was captivating, but her brows showed a hint of weariness.

"Another busy day, Losweiser," Leon began.

The Queen gave a tired, faint smile. "It's alright, I'm used to it. What about Noa and the others?"

"She's already asleep."

"Oh... looks like I'll have to leave work early tomorrow, otherwise I won't have time to say goodnight to my daughters."

"Mu En said before going to bed that you haven't said goodnight to them for three days."

Losweiser shook her head helplessly and rubbed her slightly sore neck. "The Dragon Race's recent wars have taken a new turn. Everyone is busy finding allies, so in addition to internal clan affairs, I now have a lot more diplomatic work to handle every day."

"A new trend?"

"Um."

As she spoke, Losweiser sat down on the bench on the balcony.

Besides the soreness and pain in her neck and shoulders, her lower back was also giving way, making it difficult for her to stand for long periods.

Seeing this, Leon silently went behind her, reached out and began to massage her shoulders.

With strong, powerful fingers pressing down on her shoulder muscles, Losweiser could clearly feel every bit of his force, just right.

She closed her eyes, leaned back slightly, and enjoyed the massage service from the former Empire's strongest Dragon Slayer.

"What's the new trend?" Leon asked while giving a massage.

"Do you remember the three-person team the Empire formed when you went to the future?"

A three-person team?

Leon paused slightly in his massage, then realized who Losweiser was referring to when she mentioned the three-person team.

"The Knife Trio, is that it?"

"Yes, the Empire has already sent them to the frontier battlefield, where they have engaged in several battles with the Dragon Race stationed there."

Conflicts on the borders of two territories are not uncommon, and there is no reason for the major Dragon Race to be so anxious and eager to find allies.

Unless the Dragon Race didn't win a single one of these conflicts and battles.

"That trio is just as you described, their teamwork is impeccable, and their strength is unfathomable."

"The Dragon Race had already expanded their battle lines quite a bit," said Losweiser. "But after the Knife Trio joined the battlefield, they were forced back and even lost some territory. This shows that these three guys... are indeed ridiculously strong."

Twenty years in the future, Leon did not witness the Knife Trio's performance on the Human-Dragon Battlefield firsthand, but he did have a brief encounter with them.

It must be admitted that each of them possesses at least the strength of Dragon King level, and the power they use is completely different from the magic system that the Human Empire has taught for hundreds of years.

After several twists and turns, it was learned that the three people were also using Primal Power.

Judging from Losweiser's description, these three should now have mastered the use of Primal Power, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to force the proud Dragon Race into a lightning-fast alliance.

"Thinking back to the last time the Dragon Race were this united... it was five years ago," Losweiser said quietly.

Five years ago?

"Yes."

She tilted her head back, leaned against the chair, and opened her beautiful silver eyes to look at the man standing behind her.

Even if you look at it completely upside down, you can still really feel the resolute and handsome features of this face.

"That man in black armor fought his way into my Silver Dragon Clan's territory and almost captured me."

Leon rolled his eyes, speechless, and moved his fingers from Losweiser's shoulder to her cheek, then gently pinched the fleshy part of her face.

"Didn't I still manage to win you over now?"

"Let go!"

"Don't loosen it."

"You!--"

Losweiser was also stubborn. Since he wouldn't let go, Losweiser decided to give him a taste of his own medicine and raised her arm, reached out, and pinched Leon's face.

Who would understand, family members? This couple, whose average age is over 100, are still pinching each other's cheeks like elementary school students.

After playing around for a while, Leon finally let go of her hand.

Losweiser rubbed her slightly flushed cheeks and rolled her eyes at him. "You're so childish, Casmod."

Leon patted his cheek, which was burning from being pinched, and said, "But this naive man utterly annihilated your Dragon Race five years ago."

"Then she gloriously became my prisoner."

"..."

Seeing the dog's speechless expression, Losweiser smiled with satisfaction.

Teasing my silly captive completely wipes away all the fatigue of the day.

After the massage, Losweiser stood up and stretched beautifully.

It looks really beautiful; even its tail is wagging.

Having shed her weariness, Losweiser turned to look at Leon and returned to the main topic.

"In short, recently, the various Dragon Race living on the borders of their territories have finally remembered the fear of being dominated by the black armor."

Leon blinked and asked, "Since everyone has remembered the fear of being dominated by the black armor, why do you still look so carefree?"

Losweiser (straightforward): "Because the man in black armor is my husband."

"..."

If you put it that way, you're not wrong.

I'm a little flattered.

"Just kidding. It's because my Silver Dragon territory is closer to the heart of the Dragon Race realm. Even you, back then, spent several years to get here, didn't you?"

Leon nodded thoughtfully. "That makes sense..."

"And the day you clear your name and overthrow the empire is getting closer and closer, isn't it? By then, it won't matter whether it's a trio or a ten-man group. This war will be temporarily relieved because the schemers' plots have been exposed."

Losweiser breathed a sigh of relief, swung her long arms, and turned to look at the night sky.

Looking at the bright moon in the sky, Losweiser suddenly spoke again.

"Leon".

"Um?"

"Will you leave this house after everything is over?"

This family was born entirely by chance, and they are able to get to where they are today entirely because of the promise they made to each other:

We want to give our daughters a complete childhood.

As the days go by, the daughters will grow up, and the empire will soon come to an end. Will Leon still stay here then?

Losweiser knew he loved this family, loved his daughters, and loved... her, his wife in name only.

But she didn't know if Leon would actually leave.

Or perhaps... she wanted to hear Leon say the answer himself.

The couple gazed at each other under the night sky, their dark and silver eyes shimmering in the starlight.

After a long eye contact, Leon looked directly into her captivating eyes and replied with a smile,

"Have you forgotten, Your Majesty the Queen? I'm going to eat you for the rest of my life."

102 Sea Dragon (5K words)

At the border between the human and dragon territories, in the dense forest, the girl ran all the way, looking back from time to time.

She looked terrified, as if she were hiding from someone who was chasing her.

Even though there was no one behind her, she dared not stop to rest for even a second.

Besides avoiding the pursuit of those three guys, she also had to lure them away at a certain distance so that her father wouldn't be discovered.

However, long-distance raids were not the Gunner's forte, and her movements were quickly detected by the three men.

The rustling of leaves overhead sounded like an invisible cage, slowly enveloping the girl.

Suddenly, a man's voice came from the dark forest.

"Stop running, Rebecca, just surrender and come back to the Empire with us."

Rebecca reacted quickly, immediately raising her pistol and firing three shots in the direction the sound came from.

The gunshots scared away the birds in the forest, but they did not hit the person chasing her.

Rebecca knew that this weapon was completely ineffective against those three guys.

She continued to flee, not knowing where to go, but hoping to prolong the journey as long as possible.

If we can stall until the captain arrives, Dad might be saved.

Holding onto this belief, Rebecca did not slow down at all, even though she was almost completely exhausted.

She fled deeper into the woods.

Meanwhile, the three people standing on the treetops looked at Rebecca, whose slender and petite figure was nothing more than a dying rat in their eyes.

"She must know where Tiger and Leon met, as well as detailed information about that Lionheart Society. Lord Scott said to capture them alive, got it?" said Kinney, the leader of the trio.

"Yes, Captain."

After a few seconds of silence, Gini, not hearing a third person's reply, looked up.

"Gimei, didn't you hear the order?"

A man Gimei stood on the treetop opposite. After hearing Kimi's words, he looked down at his empty right arm and then asked,

"Captain, can't you really just break her arm to avenge me before taking her back?"

"It was Tiger who cut off your arm, not that gunner. If you're going to seek revenge, you should target the right person."

Gini snorted coldly, "Forget it, none of these people will survive in the end anyway. As long as they're alive, that's fine. You can do whatever you want with the rest."

Upon hearing this, Gimei smiled and said, "Thank you, Captain. Then I won't be polite!"

After discussing their plan, the trio vanished and continued their pursuit into the forest.

Rebecca's escape continues.

When she escaped into a thicket, Rebecca used her height to hide inside.

Who says being short has no advantages?
