Chapter 411
"Getting back to the main topic. Because we don't know how many trump cards the Empire still has, I brought the Silver Dragon King from the Dragon Race this time. Her name is Losweiser."
Leon's gaze swept across the crowd and landed on her. "Would you like to come up and introduce yourself?"
Losweiser opened her mouth, actually wanting to refuse, because she wasn't used to introducing herself in front of a group of humans.
But after thinking about it, I realized I still had to cooperate with Leon.
They also need to gain the trust of the Lionheart Society members; otherwise, it will be difficult to make progress in overthrowing the empire.
So Losweiser stepped forward, and the crowd automatically parted to make way for her.
She walked onto the podium and turned to face the audience.
His eyes were cold and his tone was even.
"My Losweiser Melkwy, and I am the queen of the Silver Dragon Clan. I have been entrusted by Leon to come to human territory to help you escape the corrupt and dark rule."
After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.
It wasn't that she was intentionally trying to embarrass Losweiser, but rather that her aura and majesty as the Dragon King swept through the entire hall the moment she opened her mouth.
The oppressive feeling was so intense that even ordinary Dragon Race would find it hard to bear, let alone the humans present.
Losweiser also noticed that the Lionheart Society members seemed quite afraid of her.
This is understandable, after all, it was her first time introducing herself in front of a foreign tribe, so it was inevitable that she would uncontrollably exude a sense of oppression.
Realizing this, Losweiser immediately restrained herself.
This eased the tense atmosphere at the scene.
Snap snap—
Rebecca was the first to clap.
Nacho is the second one.
Immediately afterwards, thunderous applause erupted.
Losweiser's gaze swept over the crowd, and she thought to herself that she was probably the first dragon king in history to receive applause from a foreign race.
Okay, after that serious and brief self-introduction, Losweiser planned to make a little joke and then leave the stage.
"Oh, right, there's one thing I want to emphasize."
Losweiser spoke with great seriousness, and everyone listened intently.
Even Leon looked at her curiously, wondering what she was trying to emphasize.
After building up the suspense, Losweiser revealed a slight, mischievous smile.
"I'm really not Leon's godmother, please don't get the wrong idea."
The little joke worked well, and everyone relaxed.
"So Dragon Race have a sense of humor too."
"So who exactly spread the rumor that the captain had recognized a Dragon Queen as his godmother?"
"No, don't look at me. The version I heard is that the captain adopted a goddaughter."
"..."
"Huh? Silver Dragon King, Silver Dragon King, if you're not the captain's godmother, then what's your relationship with him?"
One person asked the most crucial question of the night.
Losweiser was slightly taken aback, her mind racing.
After much deliberation, she decided it was better to keep it a secret.
Anyway, we're not at home, so there's no need... cough cough... no need to pretend to be husband and wife with Leon.
"Oh, we're just—"
"She is my wife."
Losweiser:?
"We also have three children."
Losweiser:?
Lionheart Society:
Holy crap, this is absolutely the most amazing version ever!
119 They're starting to look more and more like a real couple (4k words)
The Lionheart Society not only a revolutionary organization that resisted the empire, but its members were also elites from various fields.
Therefore, a heated discussion ensued regarding the marriage of the spiritual leader, Mr. Leon Casmod, to the Silver Dragon Queen Lothwiser, and the birth of their three daughters.
The former Imperial Dragon Scholar sighed repeatedly:
"I have studied dragon reproduction for half my life, but I never thought that humans and dragons could have offspring. This will be one of the greatest discoveries in the field of interspecies research."
A former royal family counselor raised the following question:
"Under what psychological conditions would a sufficiently excellent male human mate with female dragon of comparable excellence? This is a question worth pondering."
A five-star general who once served in the Dragon Slayer Army stated:
"Give him a chance to be captured, and he can easily take down the Silver Dragon Queen. Even the Sun God standing beside him will become a mere foil. Leon Casmod is destined to become the most dazzling monument in the history of the human and dragon races!"
Seeing everyone engrossed in discussing and speculating about their relationship with the Dragon Queen, Leon could only smile helplessly and did not stop them.
As long as everyone doesn't reject the Losweiser King, it's fine.
As for other things, we can talk about them however we want.
Anyway, Leon was telling the truth and wasn't afraid of people spreading rumors.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Losweiser glanced at the scoundrel beside her, then quietly reached out and pinched his waist hard.
Leon felt a burning pain, but because of the large number of people present, he didn't dare to cry out, only his facial expression twisted for a moment.
As soon as Losweiser loosened her grip, Leon immediately distanced himself from her.
He clutched his aching lower back and asked, "Why did you suddenly pinch me?"
The Queen's pretty face flushed slightly, and she dared not meet Leon's eyes. She stood there with her arms crossed and her gaze fixed straight ahead.
"Who, who told you to talk about us in front of so many people?"
"So what I said wasn't the truth?"
"You!--"
"From thousand-year-old monsters to five-year-old cubs, everyone in your Dragon Race knows that I'm married to you; so shouldn't we humans also have the right to know?"
Losweiser listened to his reasoned explanation, wanting to refute it but unable to find a suitable point of attack. In the end, she could only squeeze out four words through gritted teeth.
"Soliciting nonsense."
"Hey, how am I being unreasonable? Dragon Queen, let me tell you, I—"
Leon stopped abruptly as if he had suddenly realized something.
He glanced at Losweiser's slightly flushed face and blinked—
Suddenly I realized.
"Oh, I understand."
Losweiser rolled her eyes at him. "You know everything now."
"Actually, you're very happy that I told you you're my wife in front of so many people, but because you're usually so stubborn, showing too much joy would be unbecoming of your aloof Silver Dragon Queen persona. So you pinched me and refused to admit it, all to cover up your inner excitement, right?"
Losweiser was both angry and ashamed that the scoundrel had so easily exposed her secret thoughts with just a few words.
If there hadn't been so many people there, she really would have liked to order a Dragon Mark and teach this guy a lesson.
The Queen glared at him, muttering under her breath.
"I'll deal with you when we get home."
"My master's wife used to say that about him often too."
"That means you and your master are cut from the same cloth."
No, what I mean is...
He deliberately dragged out the last syllable, keeping everyone in suspense.
Losweiser turned her head to listen.
"We're becoming more and more like a real couple."
"... If you say such shameless things again, I'll tell all your embarrassing stories in front of the Lionheart Society!"
Leon immediately became obedient.
The members continued chatting, and the couple didn't interrupt or disturb them.
Leon walked to the edge of the podium and easily jumped off.
The platform was about a meter above the ground. Losweiser was wearing a long dress and high heels, which made it inconvenient for her to make large, sweeping movements. So after Leon jumped down, he turned around, took Losweiser's hand, and helped her jump down to prevent her from falling.
With one hand supporting Leon and the other lifting her skirt, Losweiser gracefully jumped off the stage.
"This world is amazing, Captain."
Rebecca's voice came from behind.
Leon released Losweiser's hand and turned to look at her. "What do you mean?"
"The Silver Dragon Queen needs someone to hold her hand and help her down from the meter-high platform; yet the unpretentious Dragon Slayer hero is always thinking of his wife. Tsk tsk tsk, is this the power of love?"
The couple could tell that the little girl was complaining about them.
Losweiser naturally couldn't say anything, after all, she was seen as a "gentle sister-in-law" in Rebecca's eyes.
But Leon showed no mercy.
He stepped forward and grabbed Rebecca by the collar. "Your sister-in-law flew to the Empire overnight, she must have had a long and tiring journey. What's wrong with me helping her down from the stage?"
Lifted up by Leon, Rebecca, her feet off the ground and dangling in the air, grinned obsequiously, "No, no, I wish you two a long and happy marriage, and may you have three children soon—oh dear!"
When the topic of the 'third child' came up, Leon let go of her hand.
Rebecca fell directly to the ground.
The twin-tailed girl stood up and dusted herself off.
"Honestly, how come he's only so gentle with his sister-in-law, but so rude to others?"
"That's because you didn't see me being rude to your sister-in-law, "Leon thought to himself.
"By the way, where's Martin?" Leon asked.
"At home."
Rebecca said, "Because of his family, he rarely comes to the Lionheart Society. However, whenever the Empire is about to make any big moves, Martin informs us in advance, which is why the Lionheart Society has been able to continue smoothly to this day."
Leon nodded.
"Captain, this time we are going to formally declare war on the Empire, expose their conspiracy, and clear your name. Do you have any specific plans?"
Yes, there are.
On the way here, Leon had already roughly conceived an overall plan.
"I've done the math. In three days it will be the Empire's annual Festival of a Thousand Lanterns. People all over the country will be out in the streets releasing paper lanterns. We can use this opportunity to expose the Empire in one fell swoop."
The Festival of a Thousand Lanterns is a traditional festival in human society, held annually.
On the day of the festival, people release paper lanterns into the air. Legend has it that if you write your future wishes inside the lantern, the gods will help you make them come true.
Children love this kind of festival because after releasing paper lanterns, they just have to wait for the gods to grant their wishes.
But adults no longer believe in any gods in this world, and they only celebrate festivals for fun and good luck.
However, regardless of the circumstances, the Festival of a Thousand Lanterns is a major annual festival of the empire, and the streets will certainly be crowded with people.
