Chapter 410

"You look so proud, as if she's your wife," Nacho retorted mercilessly.

Losweiser covered her mouth and chuckled. "I didn't teach Leon much. He figured most of it out on his own. He's very quick to learn."

That's half true and half false.

Leon's comprehension and learning ability are indeed very good, but the knowledge and experience that Losweiser taught him were not as little as she said.

She said that because they were in public, she had to give her husband face.

This bastard is here to be the Queen, Losweiser has to help him gain prestige from the sidelines.

Oh, of course, she wouldn't help Leon so much for nothing.

Once the matter is resolved...

She naturally wanted to get some... reward from Leon.

118 Yes, we have three children.

Using the topic of the Rachell family restaurant being forcibly acquired by the Empire as a starting point, everyone began to actively share their own grievances and injustices with Leon.

These events, whether big or small, all reflect the corruption and darkness of the imperial regime.

Leon had previously thought that only the lower classes of the empire were suffering, but among those who joined the Lionheart Society out of disappointment with the empire's rulers, there were also some from the middle class, and even a very small number from the upper class.

In short, as long as you collude with the empire and do some shady things, you can live a smooth and successful life in the empire.

Conversely, if you insist on sticking to your principles, even if you are not on the opposite side of the empire, the empire will still regard you as an enemy.

Under such extreme rule, even without the Lionheart Society, others would still stand up to unite these oppressed people and resist together.

Leon listened silently to everyone's stories and wrote them all down.

He sat on the edge of the Lionheart Society's stage, listening attentively to everyone's stories as if chatting with friends, without the slightest air of superiority.

Behind the crowd, Losweiser, Rebecca, and Nacho watched this scene quietly.

"I think... the captain has changed a lot."

Rebecca watched as Leon quickly integrated into the Lionheart Society, and she felt a lot of emotions.

"Have you been in touch with your captain all these years? You see him every three months, so why do you suddenly feel that he has changed so much?" Nacho asked.

Rebecca shook her head.

"When handing over intelligence, the captain was as calm and wise as ever. He was able to make any countermeasures under high pressure and anticipated every step of the plan and every possible development. We just needed to do things according to his ideas."

"But... I've never seen a captain like this before."

"Actually, he was never a cheerful person. The Dragon Slayer Army members were loyal to him because, after spending a long time together, the captain saved them from the brink of death several times. This loyalty and gratitude made him the kind of captain he was."

"But when people first meet him, most people find him to be quiet, not talkative, and a bit stubborn."

At this point, the blue-haired girl smiled, her smile filled with relief and a sense of relief.

It gives you the feeling of "my own son has finally grown up".

"How could it be like this... in just a few hours, everyone has accepted him and he's become one of them?"

Rebecca looked up at Losweiser beside her and continued, "Sister-in-law, the captain actually learned a lot from you, didn't he?"

Upon hearing this, Nacho also looked over curiously.

Previously, his understanding of the Dragon Race was limited to the brainwashing education the Empire had given them.

Under that kind of education, almost everyone in the empire had the following impression of Dragon Race:

Fierce, violent, greedy, the culprits of war, a barbaric race that only knows how to fight and be fierce.

But from the moment this Silver Dragon Queen appeared before him until this very moment, Nacho could not sense any restlessness from her.

They don't bear any of the labels the Empire attaches to the Dragon Race.

If we ignore Rebecca's introduction, then in Nacho's eyes, she is just a silver-haired, icy beauty, completely different from the Dragon Race described by the Empire.

And it was with her help that Leon grew into who he is today over the past five years.

Losweiser crossed her arms and gazed at her husband with her silver eyes.

A moment later, she smiled slightly, her tone soft and gentle.

"Learning is a two-way street, and I've learned a lot from him too."

Still adhering to the principle of "giving face to her husband in public," Losweiser's answer showed a high level of emotional intelligence.

This can be seen as an implicit acceptance of Rebecca's statement that "the captain learned a lot from you," while also humbly expressing that she herself had learned a lot from Leon.

Um...

There are indeed quite a few.

That's not just a lot, it's an enormous amount!

Just as Nacho was marveling at the fact that there were also outstanding talents among the Dragon Race, he was suddenly elbowed in the abdomen by Rebecca.

"Are you crazy, crazy girl...?" Nacho clutched her stomach.

"See? My sister-in-law is the perfect woman. She can fight on the battlefield, cook in the kitchen, and take care of her husband and children. She does everything perfectly."

Nacho grinned. "Yeah, she's the complete opposite of that crazy woman who's barely 1.6 meters tall."

Rebecca blinked, her thought process a little slow. She pointed to herself and asked blankly,

"Is the crazy woman who's less than 1.6 meters tall referring to me?"

"No, hehe."

"Captain Leon, Rebecca said we have a mysterious helper this time, but we haven't seen him for the past few days. Can we meet him now?" a Lionheart Society member asked excitedly.

Leon paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Sure, no problem."

He stood up from the edge of the podium, and all the Lionheart Society members below turned to look at him.

"Before introducing the mysterious helper, I'd like to ask everyone a question."

Leon said, "As you all know, in a battle five years ago, I was betrayed by my teammates, seriously wounded, and unable to evacuate with the team, right?"

"Yes, Uncle Tiger told us about it, and the Imprint Stone Martin sent us before also contained evidence of the Empire's betrayal and smear campaign against you," one member said.

"Okay, so do you know how I survived?"

At this point, Leon glanced at Losweiser behind him.

The couple met eyes, and Losweiser unconsciously lowered her hands, taking a deep breath to compose herself.

"Uncle Tiger said you were saved by a dragon king."

"No, no, what the uncle said is that Captain Leon, who was seriously injured, put up a fierce fight against the Dragon Race and eventually threatened them to heal him."

"No way! What I heard was that Captain Leon was saved because he recognized a Dragon Queen as his godmother."

"..."

Very good.

Leon and Losweiser's hearts were truly dead now.

I thought everyone would discuss their attitudes toward Dragon Race, and then Leon could naturally introduce his wife.

But why are there so many different versions of "The Ordeal of General Leon" that everyone has heard?!

Master, how much did you drastically alter my resume back then?!

Leon clapped his hands, signaling everyone to quiet down.

"I was severely injured at the time, and I was with a Dragon King... um..."

He carefully considered his words, trying to figure out how to say "prison Dragon Knight" in a more natural way.

"I had to contend with a Dragon King for a long time before she finally saved my life, which is why I can stand here today."

"Excuse me, is this Dragon King Captain Leon's godmother?"

"... Can we not talk about godmothers?"

"Alright, Captain, please continue."

"Although I was eventually saved, I remained in a coma for two years. After waking up, I lived with the Dragon King for three years."

Leon said,

"Over the past three years, through my interactions with her, I have gradually changed my views on the Dragon Race."

"Of course, I can't guarantee that all Dragon Race are like her, but I can guarantee that she is absolutely different from the Dragon Race described in the Empire's popular science books and literature."

The members were somewhat surprised when they heard this, but not too much.

Because Tiger had previously told them some things about Leon and the mysterious dragon king.

But hearing it from the person involved in person is still a bit exciting and intriguing.

"She was not the one who initiated the war, because she was able to provide a comfortable life for her tribe on her own."

"During the years I lived there, I also learned a lot of new knowledge."

"Perhaps many of you still have stereotypes about Dragon Race, and so do I, but that's okay."

"But please believe me, this Dragon King who saved my life is trustworthy."

"She is also the helper I invited this time."

His gaze returned to the back of the crowd.

Everyone looked in the direction he was looking.

There stood a silver-haired beauty, tall and slender, serene and graceful, as beautiful as a finely sculpted sculpture.

"She... she is the Dragon King?!"

"My God, I actually spent a full two hours in the same room as a Dragon King!"

"My legs are shaking, this is terrifying!"

"..."

This is why Leon had to lay so much groundwork.

Although people's perception of the Dragon King is no longer as hostile as it used to be.

But there was still some fear.

After all, in their eyes, the Dragon King was a monster that could fly to the sky and dive into the earth, breathe fire and control the wind.

"Nonsense! This beautiful woman is so gorgeous, how could she be the Dragon King?" a short-haired girl said.

As soon as she finished speaking, Losweiser spread her dragon wings and revealed her long silver tail, proclaiming her identity as the Dragon King.

In an instant, everyone retreated to a distance of ten meters.

Fifteen meters?

Twenty meters?

We can't go any further; the Lionheart Society's activity hall is only this big.

"Don't be afraid, everyone, she doesn't bite," Leon quickly explained.

"Hey you!—"

Fine, I'll put up with it.

I'll deal with you when we get home.

Losweiser retracted her dragon wings and tail, reverting to her previous icy beauty persona.

After everyone had calmed down a bit, one member asked,

"Captain Leon, we were somewhat prepared, but we were still a little surprised when the living Dragon King appeared before our eyes. Please forgive us."

"It's alright, I understand."

Ordinary people or even ordinary Dragon Slayer Army are indeed afraid of the Dragon King.

Only General Leon would consider the Dragon King Special Merit.
