Chapter 413

Rebecca scratched her head. "It's not exactly a complete infiltration. The Imperial City and upper city are extremely secure, and apart from Martin, we don't have any particularly strong inside agents. But we're confident about the central city and the lower cities."

After a pause, Rebecca said, "So, Captain, if you'd like to go out for a walk, we can arrange it. Don't worry, it's absolutely safe."

Unexpectedly, during this time, Master and Rebecca have developed the Lionheart Society to such a scale.

No wonder that when Leon told his master a few days ago that he was going to formally declare war on the Empire, his master did not try to dissuade him at all. It turns out that the old man also had firm confidence in this revolutionary organization that was resisting the Empire.

So... would you like to go for a walk?

Leon looked at Losweiser, a rather inopportune thought forming in his mind.

He opened his mouth, but swallowed the words back down his throat.

Never mind... business is more important, let's—

"Sister-in-law, you've never been to a human neighborhood before, have you?" Rebecca suddenly asked.

Losweiser was momentarily stunned. "Ah... oh, no."

"There are still three days until the Festival of a Thousand Lanterns, so why don't you two go on a simple date before the Festival of a Thousand Lanterns?"

"What a mess! With a major battle looming, who has time for dating?" Leon said.

Rebecca squinted slightly as she sized up the captain.

Although she is slow-witted, she still has basic observation skills.

Moreover, the captain practically had "saying one thing and meaning another" written all over his face.

And then there was her beautiful sister-in-law beside her. When Rebecca mentioned that even Leon could go out for a stroll at certain times, Losweiser started to drift off into thought.

As for what she was thinking, there's no need to elaborate.

However, given that both of them were incredibly stubborn, Rebecca didn't want to offer any direct advice.

Then we'll just have to...

"Captain, aren't we supposed to collect enough Imprint Stone? The Lionheart Society members here aren't enough, so you and your wife will have to go out on some fieldwork too, is that alright?"

"Oh, this..."

"Nacho, approve some dating funds for them—no, I mean shopping funds. They're not allowed to come back until they've spent it all." Rebecca put her hands on her hips and began giving orders.

Nacho shrugged, then added to Rebecca's statement.

"Actually, your two going out for a stroll won't affect our Festival of a Thousand Lanterns activities, as long as you come back before midnight tomorrow night."

"Besides, Leon, you haven't been back to the Empire for many years. Putting aside those corrupt rulers, this was once your hometown. So before saving your hometown, wouldn't it be good to remember what it looks like now?"

After reasoning with them and appealing to their emotions, the two core members of the Lionheart Society suggested that the couple go out for a walk, which showed that it would not affect their actions three days later.

If we keep making excuses, it will only make everyone unhappy.

The couple looked at each other.

Finally Leon said...

"Then let's go out tomorrow and collect some Imprint Stone."

Rebecca nodded her little head, "Yes, that's right, show your sister-in-law around more."

It's strange; it evokes a sense of nostalgia, like seeing relatives from the countryside visiting the city.

121. Where does my beloved come from?

Although there were Lionheart Society members acting as informants in the central districts and below of the Empire, as Rebecca said, if Leon and his wife really wanted to go out for a stroll, they would still have to do some disguise.

And it can only be done at specific times.

So, in the Lionheart Society's private room, Leon and Losweiser, with the help of several ladies, began their disguise for this field mission.

Leon's disguise was alright; he only needed to wear sunglasses and change his clothes.

However, things are not going well for Losweiser.

First of all, the Queen's hair color is too distinctive. Although there are some silver-haired individuals in the Empire, they are a very small minority. So, going out with such a bright silver head is bound to attract too much attention.

Secondly, the ladies in charge of makeup noticed that this client was different from the previous ones, because Losweiser's face, which was like a work of art, could not be concealed by light makeup, heavy makeup, or any other style of makeup.

Finally, the ladies were terrified when they learned that they were to do makeup for a dragon king.

Gui Gui, you know, in the past they were always helping Lionheart Society spies disguise themselves, like Nacho disguised as a beggar or something.

But applying makeup to the Dragon King... I doubt any human has ever tried that.

Losweiser naturally noticed the ladies' dilemma and did not make things difficult for them.

"I can do it myself, thank you for your hard work."

After saying that, Losweiser picked up a comb and began to comb her hair again.

She wanted a more understated hairstyle.

Perhaps it would be better to put all your hair up in a bun?

The women standing nearby exchanged bewildered glances.

After exchanging glances and struggling with their own thoughts, the woman in the lead stepped forward.

"I... we have some different styles of wigs, would you like to take a look?"

This question, which lacks a salutation at the beginning and end, is generally considered impolite.

But this can't be blamed on the lady in charge of makeup, because she really didn't know how to address a Dragon King.

Losweiser raised her pretty eyebrows. "A wig? Hmm, sure."

"Okay. Midi, go get the wig."

"Yes."

Before long, various styles of wigs were brought over.

Losweiser slowly made her selections.

Finally, her gaze fell on a long, straight black wig.

"This one will do."

"Yes, black hair is the most low-key."

They are indeed low-key.

But Losweiser chose the black wig mainly because...

She likes black.

Just like someone's hair color.

"Let us help you put it on."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Although the ladies were still somewhat afraid of the humanoid dragon king in front of them, he didn't seem to be as... ferocious as the legends said.

On the contrary, this silver-haired beauty was always well-mannered, and although she was somewhat aloof, she did not make others feel uncomfortable.

After a while of work, the wig was put on.

Losweiser stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself.

My first impression was that I wasn't quite used to it.

She had seen her own silver hair for over two hundred years, so suddenly switching to long black hair was indeed a bit of a shock.

As for whether it looks good or not after wearing a wig... Losweiser has no idea.

"Are you ready? Let's go!"

At the same time, Leon pushed open the door and entered.

As soon as he entered, his gaze was drawn to Losweiser, whose black hair cascaded down her back.

Like her, Leon also felt uncomfortable at first.

But when Losweiser turned around, Leon could only think of two words to describe his wife:

Stunning.

Her black hair further accentuated her fair, milky skin, creating a striking contrast that elevated her already radiant and beautiful face to a whole new level.

The soft light shone on her profile, making her look like a perfect creation that had stepped out of a painting.

"Is it pretty?" Losweiser asked softly.

Leon snapped out of his daze, and this time he didn't deny it, replying honestly.

"Nice."

"Oh, you actually said what you really think. I thought you'd beat around the bush a lot before saying how good it is," Losweiser teased with a laugh.

Seeing the smug look on the Dragon Queen's face, Leon quickly changed his tune.

"Actually, I think it's just so-so."

"Then why do you say it looks good?" Losweiser tilted her head slightly, her black hair falling down, making her look playful and cute.

Leon blushed slightly. "Whether it looks good or not is my own decision."

"Snort."

"The disguise is complete. You two can depart at any time. We'll be leaving now."

The ladies nodded slightly to Leon in greeting, and then left the room.

As Losweiser twirled a strand of her black hair around her index finger, she walked toward Leon.

Do you think I look better with black hair or silver hair?

Leon thought for a moment and replied, "Silver hair, I guess."

After all, that was General Leon's XP from childhood to adulthood.

"Hmm~ So that means I don't look good right now?"

"... It looks good now too."

"So, which looks better, silver hair or black hair?"

"How about I turn you bald?"

Losweiser smiled, stopped teasing him, and turned to look at the parchment in his hand.

What is that?

Leon spread the parchment out on the table; it was a map marked with red lines and circles indicating streets and various locations.

"Rebecca marked out the safe routes and places we could freely enter and exit, so we didn't have to worry about being discovered as long as we stayed within those areas."

Losweiser nodded. "Very thoughtful."

"Hmm... I never expected that Lionheart Society develop into such a complete organization in just a few years. It's all thanks to Master and Rebecca."

Leon put the map away and tucked it into his pocket, then he weighed the wallet at his waist.

"This is the procurement budget for this field mission."

Losweiser blinked, feigning ignorance, "Isn't it the date budget?"

Upon hearing this, General Leon immediately became serious and earnest, and spoke righteously and solemnly.

"W-What date! We just went out to buy Imprint Stone."

"Alright, let's go."

Losweiser rarely showed such enthusiasm for anything, which piqued Leon's interest.

But he didn't ask any more questions, and simply led Losweiser out through the back door of the Lionheart Society.

They were currently in the slums of the empire, a place with virtually no obstacles and no need to worry about patrols.

Of course, there's no point in strolling around in such a desolate slum.

Leon planned to take Losweiser to the Lower City, following the markings on the map.

And, as Nacho suggested, let's also take a look back at our hometown, which we haven't seen for many years.
