Harmony.

Of course, in addition to the original-sized family photo, Selena also included four smaller versions, convenient for placing by the bedside, on a desk, or elsewhere.

Losweiser took out Noa's school enrollment photo and handed it to her eldest daughter, instructing, "Take good care of it, Noa."

"Yes, Mom."

"Also... this is a photo of Muen with Mom and Dad. Muen, you keep this one safe." Losweiser handed another photo to Muen.

Muen accepted it with both hands, "Got it, Mom~"

"Then, the rest are sister photos of you two. Take them back to your room and open them slowly."

"Okay!"

Just as the two girls were about to leave, Noa suddenly stopped. She pointed to a separately packaged item and asked, "What photo is in here?"

It was packaged separately from the family photo, enrollment photo, and sister photos.

Leon happened to see it too. He picked it up and weighed it in his hand, "It seems like there's only one photo inside."

"Dad, open it and see~" Muen suggested.

"Okay."

Leon opened the separate package. The first thing that slid out was a pale gold card.

Losweiser caught the card. Written on it in elegant handwriting were the words:

May silver radiance forever shine in the eyes of those you love.

Losweiser frowned slightly, "What does this mean..."

At this moment, Leon also took out the photo inside.

After looking at it, Leon fell silent.

Muen, standing beside him, pressed against Leon's arm and stood on tiptoe, wanting to see as well.

And when she saw the photo, her reaction was completely different from Leon's.

The little dragon girl happily wagged her tail, and the ahoge on her head bobbed along.

"Mom and Dad look so good together!"

Losweiser raised an eyebrow, "Good together? What's in the photo? Leon?"

Leon pursed his lips and handed the photo over.

Losweiser took the photo.

In the photo, there were no carefully arranged background lights, nor expensive, luxurious formal wear.

It was simply her and Leon sitting casually on chairs, smiling and looking into each other's eyes.

It was clear that Selena had captured a fleeting moment.

And in this brief instant, in the way she and Leon looked at each other, there were no grudges between arch-nemeses, no trivial worries from bickering.

In that moment, it seemed their eyes could only hold each other.

Instantly, Losweiser understood the meaning of the words on the card, "May silver radiance forever shine in the eyes of those you love..."

Before the couple could even react to when this photo was taken, Muen, wagging her tail excitedly, exclaimed, "Mom and Dad, speaking of which, you don't have a wedding photo yet!"

Leon looked up at Losweiser and found that she was also looking at him.

They looked at each other, a moment of silence passing between them.

Leon: "Wedding what photo?"

Muen: "Wedding photo!"

Losweiser: "What veil photo?"

Muen: "Wedding photo!"

Leon & Losweiser: "Wedding veil what?"

Muen: "WEDDING PHOTO!!!"

A wedding photo?

Taking one was impossible, absolutely impossible.

A few days after the enrollment photos were taken, Noa's entrance exam date was fast approaching.

In just one month, Leon had already gone over the key points of Saint Hiss Academy's entrance exam questions from the past few years with Noa.

Noa's comprehension was quite good; she could grasp most things taught to her very quickly.

During these last few days, he planned to let his daughter relax and not push herself too hard.

It was all about balancing work and rest.

In the evening, Leon was eating dinner alone in the nursery.

Losweiser had been very quiet and docile these past few days.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, she hadn't sought Leon out much.

Leon had actually thought the incident with Dragon's Might wouldn't be so easily forgotten.

He hadn't expected that after so many days had passed, the Dragon Queen still hadn't brought it up even once.

He figured that perhaps Leon, empowered by Dragon's Might that night, had satisfied Losweiser so thoroughly that she was willing to let it slide?

Leon thought this as he finished the last piece of pan-fried meat on his plate.

After finishing dinner, Leon rested for a short while before starting his most basic physical training.

Push-ups, sit-ups, jump squats.

After completing a set, Leon was panting heavily.

But his condition was already much better than it had been a few days prior.

Since the dragon race's medicine had unpredictable side effects, Leon could only resort to this most primitive method of exercise.

After a few more sets, the sound of the door lock echoed.

Leon stopped and looked towards the entrance.

It was Losweiser.

She hadn't come to find him in two days; why had she suddenly appeared tonight?

"Yo, working out?"

Losweiser walked over, but she didn't enter the bedroom. She simply leaned against the bedroom doorframe with her arms crossed.

Leon ignored her, lying back down on the floor to continue his sit-ups.

Seeing that Leon wasn't paying attention to her, Losweiser walked forward and stood beside him.

While he was lying down for a sit-up, she lifted her foot and stepped on his chest.

Leon lay on the ground, speechless, and turned his head. "If you have something to say, just say it."

"If you want to recover your physical condition, you could just do two Dragon's Might sessions. Is there really a need to be doing sit-ups here and getting all sweaty and stinky?" Losweiser teased.

Leon shot her a glare, then slightly lifted his head, looking at her delicate, boneless ankle. He said, "Either take your foot off, or let me bite you again."

"I have something to tell you." Losweiser moved her foot away.

Leon also stood up from the ground, clapping his hands. "What is it?"

"Come to my room tonight, and I'll tell you then."

"...Can't you just say it here?"

Losweiser shook her head.

Fine.

He had just been praising how docile the Dragon Queen had become, and in the blink of an eye, she had revealed her true nature.

In the middle of the night, going to her room, just him and a dragon... Leon could guess what would happen with his eyes closed.

And this time, it wasn't Losweiser coming to his room to corner him;

It was him being asked to "go to her place."

Was the stinky dragon really treating him like she was in the service industry?

"I'm not going," Leon tried to refuse.

"Not going? Then you'd better think about the consequences."

"I'll go." Leon compromised.

If he went, he'd be uncomfortable for one night; if he didn't, he'd be uncomfortable for at least a week.

Leon closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and decided to endure it.

Losweiser let out a smug little hum. "That's more like it. I'll be waiting for you in half an hour."

With that, Losweiser left, her high heels clicking away.

After the Dragon Queen had left, Leon sighed helplessly.

He should have known. With Losweiser's strong desire for revenge, how could she have just let the Dragon's Might incident pass so easily?

Perhaps when he went to her room later, she would come up with some new trick he'd never seen before.

Thinking this, Leon felt even more despair.

When would this miserable life end?

He looked up at the wall clock. In half an hour, he needed to do something to kill time.

After some thought, Leon decided to take a bath.

Losweiser had just said he smelled like sweat.

He didn't want that Dragon Queen to gossip about him.

About twenty minutes later, Leon finished his bath, changed into some simple clothes, and went to Losweiser's room.

He arrived at Losweiser's door and raised his hand to knock.

Losweiser's voice immediately came from inside, "Come in, the door isn't locked."

Leon pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, then pushed the door open.

If he remembered correctly, this seemed to be the first time he had ever been to Losweiser's private room.

As soon as he entered, the entire layout of the living room came into view.

It was very neat and simple, with no luxurious decorations, following a minimalist style.

Walking further inside, he passed the kitchen, a guest room, and the master bedroom.

The master bedroom door was open, but Losweiser wasn't inside.

Leon's peripheral vision inadvertently caught sight of the bed in Losweiser's bedroom. On the bed sat the toy bear he had gotten for Losweiser a few days ago when they went to Sky City.

Leon was slightly taken aback.

He remembered Losweiser saying she wasn't interested in such toys.

Yet now, she had placed it on her bedside.
