Chapter 400

"They're here!"

Rebecca ran over and supported Tiger from the other side.

Claudia then slowly stepped forward and stood in front of Charlotte.

The two sisters, one tall and one short, looked at each other.

Charlotte, who had just lost her Heart-protecting Dragon Scale, looked haggard, but still managed a forced smile.

"I'm sorry, sister... I was being willful again."

She thought Claudia would be like before, stubborn but soft-hearted, and even if she felt sorry for her sister, she would still have to scold her first.

But to everyone's surprise, Claudia simply reached out and gently stroked Charlotte's face, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

"You've worked hard. Let me take you to rest."

"Sister... I—"

"Speak less, you are very weak right now."

Charlotte's pupils trembled slightly, and she opened her mouth, as if she had a thousand words she wanted to say to Claudia.

But in the end, he lowered his head, a faint smile playing on his lips, and gave a soft reply.

"Good."

She could clearly sense that her sister's attitude toward her marriage with Tiger was changing.

For thirty years, Charlotte's greatest wish has been for her family to acknowledge and bless their relationship.

Although the process has been somewhat bumpy, at least... everything is moving in a positive direction.

Claudia led everyone to the lounge and settled the two "patients" onto the soft, large beds.

After lying down, Tiger slowly turned his head to look at Charlotte.

Charlotte was also looking at him.

The elderly couple looked at each other and exchanged a knowing smile.

"You've just had the Heart-protecting Dragon Scale transplanted, and you need some time to rest before you can move around normally. So let's save the catching up for tomorrow."

Claudia, as always, spoke with the utmost professionalism in her signature "outsider" manner.

"I'll have someone bring dinner later, so... we won't bother you any longer."

"Master and Mistress, you should rest well first. I will come to see you again tomorrow."

"Okay... you and your wife have had a long day, you should get some rest too."

"Um."

After saying goodbye to the elderly couple, Claudia took the group to dinner.

After dinner, rooms were arranged for them.

Claudia felt like she had been a tour guide all day.

Please, is serving guests part of my Sea Dragon First Princess's responsibility?

But there was no other way; Leon and his companions had special identities, and the fewer people who knew about them, the better.

"Thank you for your help, senior. And thank you also for my master's matter."

Before parting, Silver Dragon couple expressed their sincere gratitude.

"No need for thanks, go to sleep early, I hope you can adapt to the underwater environment."

"Okay, goodnight senior."

"Good night."

Claudia closed the door for them and turned to leave.

The couple breathed a sigh of relief.

But once you relax, a wave of fatigue washes over you.

Losweiser rubbed her shoulders. During the day, in order to reach the Sea Dragon race as quickly as possible, she had undergone a high-speed flight that lasted for several hours. Even the Silver Dragon Clan would find it difficult to endure such an intensity.

She looked around and surveyed the guest room.

The room was very tidy, which suited her aesthetic.

It also has a small balcony.

Losweiser walked over, initially thinking the balcony was just for decoration, since she was underwater and couldn't see the sun.

But standing inside, looking up, Losweiser's eyes lit up.

As far as the eye can see, there is a beautiful and magnificent deep-sea world.

The entire palace is covered by a transparent protective shield, which isolates the interior space of the palace from the ocean world.

Various rare fish and creatures swam past Losweiser. She raised her arm, and her sleeve slipped off her delicate, smooth arm. Her slender fingers gently touched the inner wall of the protective shield, and several beautiful, agile little fish swam towards her fingertips, blowing bubbles at her.

The Queen smiled knowingly.

As I get older, I like to watch things like little fish and grass (just kidding).

"Losweiser ..."

Leon walked over to her.

"Um?"

She turned her gaze away and looked at Leon.

However, Leon seemed hesitant to speak.

Losweiser blinked and said with a smile, "You seemed to have something to tell me when we were at the entrance to the secret room during the day, didn't you?"

Leon pursed his lips and nodded. "Mm."

"What is it?" she asked, tilting her head.

She actually had a pretty good idea of what Leon would ask.

That scoundrel is incredibly clever. After hearing so much from Claudia about the Heart-protecting Dragon Scale today, and witnessing his master "come back to life" because of them, it's easy for Leon to connect the dots...

What happened back then.

"That is..."

After a moment's hesitation, Leon slowly let out a sigh of relief, as if he had finally made a decision.

"Your Heart-protecting Dragon Scale... are actually on me, aren't they?"

He mustered his courage to meet the gaze of those silver eyes.

Even though he already had a pretty good idea of what was going on, he still wanted to hear Losweiser admit it to him personally.

The Queen's pupils trembled, but she did not appear particularly surprised.

She smiled faintly and nodded, "Yes, it's with you."

"Why--"

"When you became my prisoner, you were severely injured, and your heart was almost completely shattered. In order to save you, I had no choice but to transplant my dragon scales to you."

Losweiser turned her head, leaned against the balcony railing, and looked out into the deep sea.

"Don't feel guilty, Leon. After all... I saved you back then only so that I could take revenge on you later."

This is indeed an objective fact.

After all, Losweiser had caused such a mess with Leon over the Blood Seduction, so it was impossible for her to have any feelings for Leon at that time.

Just as she said, she transplanted her Heart-protecting Dragon Scale to Leon entirely out of a desire for revenge.

But--

"You had many opportunities to take the dragon scales back later, but you didn't do it, did you?"

"Yes. Because I didn't want our daughter to have a father during her childhood, but he suddenly disappeared one day."

"Anything else?"

"Besides?"

Losweiser lowered her eyes.

After a long while, a smile curved her lips, revealing her small, adorable dimples, and her smile was as warm as a spring breeze.

"I don't want to lose you either."

"Losweiser ..."

"Oh my gosh~ You're finally satisfied now that I've admitted it myself?"

Losweiser turned around, stretched lazily, then lowered her arms, reached out, and poked Leon's chest.

"Then please take good care of my heart, you idiot."

108 Helpers

Because of his human identity, it was not convenient for Leon to walk around the Sea Dragon Palace without Claudia's company.

So after getting up in the morning, he and Losweiser stayed in the room.

After learning last night that the Heart-protecting Dragon Scale of Losweiser had been transplanted to him, Leon's feelings were quite complicated.

Even he, a human, was well aware of the importance of dragon scales.

Although Losweiser comforted him by saying that the dragon scales were initially transplanted into him only for future revenge, they were still such important things, even related to Losweiser's life.

How could Leon possibly accept this with a clear conscience?

He sat at the tea table on the balcony, raising his hand to touch his heart.

My heartbeat is firm and strong.

And it was Losweiser who made his heart beat again.

"You haven't spoken to me all morning, how could you stand it?"

A cold, indifferent female voice sounded from behind.

Leon glanced to the side and saw that Losweiser was sitting on the other side of the tea table.

She casually crossed her long legs, the hem of her skirt sliding down her smooth thighs, the black edge faintly visible.

Leon, however, was not in the mood to appreciate the morning 'benefits' the Queen had given him.

"Are you still hung up on the dragon scales?"

Seeing that the man wasn't interested in flirting, Losweiser put her leg down and prepared to have a proper chat with him.

Leon withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes, and gave a muffled "hmm".

Losweiser smiled helplessly, shook her head, and sighed.

She rested one hand on her temple, her eyes half-closed, gazing lazily at the underwater world outside the balcony.

"I haven't told you all this time because I was worried you would overthink things."

"You gave me such an important Heart-protecting Dragon Scale, how could I not have all sorts of wild thoughts?"

"So how are you feeling right now? Guilt? Gratitude? Or... something else?"

Leon thought about it carefully for a moment, then shook his head.

"It's complicated, and I can't really explain what I'm feeling."

Losweiser chuckled, "Then you can have a good chat with your master later. Now you two should have a lot in common."

Why do you say that?

Losweiser sat up straight and began counting on her fingers.

"Look, you are all Dragon Slayer, you have all discovered the empire's conspiracies and schemes, you all have a Dragon Race wife, and you were all saved by your wife's Heart-protecting Dragon Scale."

Snap—

The Queen clapped her hands excitedly.
