But the stall owner seemed to see that this family was unusually well-dressed, like a wealthy family, and wanted to squeeze some more profit from them.

"Hey, I didn't expect any toy prizes to be taken today. These parents are really something, they don't even know what their children want." The boss said meaningfully while wiping a toy gun.

Leon suddenly stopped and looked down at Noa, "Do you want those teddy bears, Noa?"

Noa pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, then shook her head, "No."

When the eldest daughter says no, it doesn't necessarily mean she doesn't want it;

Leon looked at Muen again, "Does Muen want them?"

"Mmm... Muen also... doesn't want them."

Okay, that means she does want them.

Leon guessed that Muen had just said she wanted the plush toy from the balloon shooting game, which was why Noa had pulled her over.

Leon took Muen's hand and turned back towards the stall.

Noa froze and looked up at Losweiser.

Losweiser smiled and nodded at her.

After getting her mother's tacit approval, Noa trotted over.

"Ten more times, boss," Leon said, returning to the stall.

"Ten times? Ten times isn't enough, sir. This game looks simple, but it's hard to play. Your daughter didn't hit anything just now," the boss said, trying to persuade Leon to spend more gold coins.

But Leon just repeated calmly, "Just ten times."

"Alright, alright, ten times."

The boss handed over the toy gun from before.

Noa took out a few coins from her pocket and pushed them to the boss.

"Thank you," Leon said.

"Mm," Noa nodded.

Leon picked up the toy gun, and magical energy flowed from his fingertips into the toy gun's magazine.

Besides aiming, the dragon race's version of balloon shooting also required a certain degree of fine control over magical energy.

Bang—

The first shot.

The bullet missed.

The boss was delighted, "Good, good, good, it's okay, it's okay, keep going, keep going."

Muen tugged at Leon's sleeve and looked up, "Daddy, maybe we shouldn't play anymore. Muen doesn't really need that teddy bear."

Although their family wasn't short of money for these shooting games, and they could buy that teddy bear at a high price.

But the boss was unlucky because this family was full of stubborn people.

Especially the one holding the gun now.

Leon patted Muen's little head, "It's okay, Daddy can do it."

"Yes, yes, yes, sir, you can definitely do it. Do you want to add more money and play a few more—"

Bang bang bang—

All three shots hit, and three balloons exploded in response.

The boss's last word was swallowed by the sound of the balloons exploding.

Noa and Muen's eyes lit up.

"Daddy's amazing! Go, Daddy!"

The boss had gotten happy too soon.

The reason Leon's first shot missed was just that he was testing how much the gun had been tampered with.

Now Leon could recalibrate the gun based on the test he had just performed.

He then fired several more shots.

All ten shooting opportunities were used up, and Leon hit nine times in total.

The prize was two large teddy bears.

"Thank you, boss. See, I told you ten times would be enough."

Leon handed one teddy bear to each of his daughters.

The boss wanted to cry but had no tears.

Where did this guy come from?

He could hit accurately even with a crooked sight?

"Get out of my stall, now!"

Leon turned around with satisfaction and looked up at Losweiser.

The Dragon Queen was empty-handed;

Looking at her two daughters, they were laden with prizes.

After a moment's thought.

Leon turned back again.

"Boss, ten more shots."

Leon raised his gun and fired.

Each bullet, though hitting a balloon, felt more like a blow to the boss's heart.

He'd been running this stall for so long, fiddled with the gun so much, yet he'd never seen anyone this accurate.

The boss glared at Leon, seeing everything, hating him in his heart.

However, another person present felt the exact opposite of the boss.

To her, the man before her was focused and serious—a bit stubborn, perhaps, but it didn't matter much.

With every pull of the trigger, a balloon would burst, and he would flash a confident, triumphant smile.

Though he was often unreliable, there was a unique charm about him whenever he got serious.

"Daddy's so cool! So, so cool!" Muen showered her dad with praise from the side.

Noa also watched Leon's focused shooting with eager anticipation.

See, from Muen and Noa to Losweiser, they all felt the same.

And when Losweiser

She came back to her senses, and a large teddy bear was already stuffed into her arms.

Soft, warm, and fluffy.

Though in the dragon's memory, bears were merely unappetizing food not even worth filling their stomachs with, this thing made into a toy pillow was quite...

Cute?

The daughters' reactions said it all.

Even Noa, who was usually reserved, couldn't put it down. She pinched the small bear's paw and had it "wrestle" with Muen's little bear, having a wonderfully good time.

And this simple joy was something only Leon could bring them.

Her eldest daughter, Ischa, had always told her that a family couldn't be without a man.

At the time, Losweiser had scoffed at the statement, believing she could do perfectly well without one.

But thinking back to the situation just now, if Leon hadn't been there, Losweiser, with her personality and status, would have surely lectured Noa, saying that such childish games were not worth engaging in anymore and were just a waste of time.

This was a queen's way of handling things.

Calm, decisive, and efficient.

There was no need for them to waste time, energy, or mood on something so trivial.

But Leon was clearly approaching it from the perspective of a man, a father.

He didn't want his daughters to learn any life lessons while playing.

Those lessons could be taught later.

But right now, he had to stand up for his daughters.

This was probably a parenting philosophy Losweiser couldn't learn in a short time.

It wasn't a bad thing; she fully supported Leon doing this. It was all for the daughters' own good.

Losweiser lowered her eyelids, hugging the oversized teddy bear, and gently rested her chin on its head.

When Leon handed it to her earlier, she had refused.

Leon said the money was already spent, so why not throw it away.

She said that wouldn't do.

And so, the family of four, mother and her three daughters, each holding a large teddy bear, drew the attention of passing dragons.

The man, empty-handed and with no tail in sight, naturally attracted the most attention from passersby.

Everyone could see that these generous prizes came from this male dragon who refused to show his tail.

Of course, the onlookers' gazes eventually settled on the teddy bears.

Losweiser was accustomed to people's worshipful gazes, but she wasn't quite used to these envious ones.

She even heard a few young dragons pointing at the teddy bears in their hands and telling their own fathers or mothers that they wanted them too.

Feeling the stares of the surrounding dragons, Losweiser couldn't help but bury her face further into the soft head of the teddy bear.

"Be careful you don't suffocate," Leon's voice suddenly interjected.

"Is it that hard to get a nice word out of you?"

"Why should I say nice things to you? This teddy bear is worth a hundred nice things from me. If I say twenty sentences to you every day, and one of them is nice, then I can go over three months without saying anything nice to you," Jun said.

"...I see your body has recovered, and even your tongue has gotten nimble, has it?" Yang replied.

Leon raised his hands in surrender and made a "zip it" motion at his mouth, indicating he would shut up obediently.

They had a very happy afternoon at the Young Dragon Playground.

A few dragons also recognized Losweiser's identity as the Silver Dragon Queen; they were probably princes or leaders from other tribes.

Losweiser chatted with them briefly out of politeness.

As evening approached, they returned to Selena's photo studio to pick up the photos from the morning.

The family portrait was larger, while the school photos and various sister photos were smaller. Selena had packaged them separately.

On the way back, the father and his two daughters sat on Losweiser's back in her Dragon form.

Muen couldn't wait to unwrap the family portrait, but Leon stopped her.

"Let's open it when we get home, Muen."

"Okay~ I'll listen to Daddy~"

After several hours of flying, they returned to the Silver Dragon Sanctuary around ten o'clock at night.

Head Maid Anna had prepared supper for them.

After a simple meal, the four of them went to the nursery where Leon usually slept, ready to unwrap the photos.

The first one to be unwrapped was, of course, the family portrait.

Leon eagerly opened the package, and a delicate four-person family portrait was slowly revealed to everyone.

They were holding hands, beaming with joy.

This indeed met Losweiser's standard for this family:
