Chapter 432
While waiting, the empire, with its military strength, naturally has nothing to fear from other countries taking advantage of its weakness.
With everything settled, Leon was finally ready to go home with Losweiser.
"Aren't you going to stay a few more days, Captain? After all, this is the territory you helped us build."
At the gates of the Imperial City, Rebecca, Martin, and some members of the Lionheart Society came to see Leon and his wife off.
"What's with all this talk about the country? Your old man always told me to stay away from politics. Being a savior is just something I can do by chance."
Upon hearing this, Rebecca rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.
It seems like the captain hasn't changed much over the years he's been with his wife, except that his pretentious habit has only gotten worse.
"But this place is so far from your Silver Dragon Sanctuary. If there's an emergency here, we won't be able to notify you in time."
Although the Empire's overall strength did not decline much after Cantor's downfall, there was no need to worry about being taken advantage of.
But after all, it is the establishment of a new system and a new society. In addition to internal troubles, there are also concerns about external threats.
As Rebecca said, the Empire is too far from the Silver Dragon Sanctuary; even for Losweiser, it would take five or six hours to fly there at full speed.
If there's any real emergency, and someone is sent to find Leon, by the time Leon arrives, everyone's ashes will probably be cold.
"I will send a trained Messenger Dragon over when I get back. If there is any emergency, just use the Messenger Dragon to send us a message."
"The Messenger Dragon are very fast; they can fly from here to my Holy Temple in a single night," said Losweiser.
Rebecca blinked her beautiful eyes, her gaze full of questions, "What is Messenger Dragon...?"
"Oh, it's similar to a carrier pigeon, belonging to a subspecies of dragons. Through long-term evolution and training, it has taken on the responsibility of communication among Dragon Race."
Rebecca nodded. "Oh, okay, thank you, sister-in-law."
"Fine."
"Then we'll be going now."
"Have a safe trip, Captain."
"Bon Voyage."
"I hope that when we meet next time, you won't be in a wheelchair anymore, Leon."
Take care, see you next time.
"..."
Everyone said goodbye to Leon one by one.
Leon waved and then left the Empire with Losweiser.
Silver Dragon Queen rose up outside the city gate and soared into the sky.
Rebecca raised her hand to shield her eyes, watching the couple's figures gradually disappear on the horizon, and sighed.
"Men with families are different, aren't they? They leave the throne to go home and hold their children."
"Once you have a family of your own, you'll understand the captain," Martin said in a wise, experienced tone.
Rebecca glanced at him. "You talk like you're so experienced. If I remember correctly, you've never been in a relationship, have you?"
Martin was taken aback, feeling a little embarrassed that Rebecca had exposed his embarrassing past. "So what if I haven't dated anyone? Have you dated anyone?"
"No."
Rebecca paused, then gave a sly, fox-like smile.
"How about we give it a try?"
"Who wants to try it with you!"
"Oh~ Little Martin's scared~"
"I'm not afraid..." Martin tried to argue.
However, the twin-tailed girl had already seen through everything. She turned around, raised her arm, and patted Martin's chest.
"Since you're not afraid, I'll give you a chance to pursue me."
"Oh... um? Wait, who said they were going to pursue you!"
The boy and girl chatted and laughed as they walked towards the city.
Nacho followed behind them, hands on his hips, and sighed helplessly.
"It's hard to imagine that I'm leading a revolution with such a group of kids, sigh."
Walker walked over and patted Nacho on the shoulder.
"Alright, senior, we still have a lot of work to do."
"Okay, let's go."
The rising sun illuminates this newborn nation and the Lionheart Society's promising future.
"I think when I get home, the first person my daughters will hug will definitely be me."
"No, it must be me."
Nacho would never have imagined that not only were his colleagues a bunch of kids, but even his boss, who was already married with three kids, and his wife were just a little older 'kids'.
What adults would argue about this kind of thing every day?
Only this ill-fated couple was so obsessed with it and enjoyed it immensely.
"I'm sure I'll beat you this time, Losweiser, and I'll beat you three times."
"Oh? You're so sure all three daughters will hug you first?"
No, what I mean is—
Losweiser listened intently, wanting to see what tricks this scoundrel would pull.
"If any one of Noa, Mu En, or Xiao Guang hugs me first instead of you, then this is my victory."
"Well, and then?"
"You have zero wins, I have one win, that's two wins."
Queen:?
"You have zero wins, I have two wins, that makes three wins."
"..."
"Three victories in three battles, Dragon Queen, what's your assessment?"
"I'm thinking, maybe we should release Cantor from prison. The revolutionary leader of the strongest nation shouldn't be a dog like you."
Losweiser now strongly suspects that Leon has a second personality.
Whenever it's a crucial moment, such as when a hero steps forward, turns the tide, or defends the country, his earnest, serious, decisive, concise, and King B personality emerges.
But most of the time, it's his baffling first personality that's in control.
To say he's a contrast is an understatement, because he's been like this since the day he met Losweiser;
But saying he's always been the same isn't quite right, since he's clearly become even more outrageous than before.
After analysis, Losweiser came to the following conclusion:
That scoundrel has gotten too close to her.
They're treating her like family at all!
It seems five years of married life have made someone forget their captive status; so, once home, don't worry about who your daughter hugs first—
We need to teach him a lesson first, so he understands who's in charge of this house!
With that thought in mind, Losweiser flapped her dragon wings and accelerated her flight toward the Holy Temple.
Around noon, the couple returned to the Silver Dragon Sanctuary.
Strangely, no maid came out to greet them.
There was hardly anyone in the entire front courtyard of the Holy Temple. If Leon hadn't seen guards patrolling when he entered the territory's borders earlier, he would have thought that some fearless Dragon Race had come to raid his home.
The couple stepped into the front yard, looked around, and indeed there was no one there.
I saw neither maids nor daughters.
"Where did they all go?" Losweiser asked softly.
Leon blinked, a thought flashing through his mind, and suddenly realized something.
"Oh! I understand!"
Losweiser was startled by him. "What do you know? How did you get up from the wheelchair?"
"No, no, no, I mean, I know where Noa and the maids went."
Leon looked at Losweiser, and Losweiser lowered her eyes to meet his gaze.
The couple looked at each other for a second, and then said in unison,
"Stealing the offerings!"
4. Stone: Solo kill of the strongest Dragon Slayer, battle record verifiable.
Leon and Losweiser went to the backyard of the Holy Temple.
Sure enough, just as they suspected, the Silver Dragon Sanctuary's signature event was unfolding here—
The Prince is Back!
Whenever Leon and Losweiser are away from home for more than three days, this routine will always take place when they return.
The cast this time is exceptionally strong, consisting of the eldest daughter, the second daughter, and the third daughter, who is making her acting debut.
The extras were not to be outdone, and all the dozens of maids from the Silver Dragon Sanctuary were also present.
Then, amidst a lively atmosphere, the "ceremony" began.
Veteran actress Mu En was the first to react, holding a plate of fried steak in her arms, she sat on the grass and started crying.
But to be honest, Little Moon's crying wasn't very heartfelt; it was just all talk and no action.
"Daddy Mom! How could you just abandon Mu En like this! Waaah~"
"Mu En misses you all so much~"
"When are you coming back to see Mu En?"
"Waaaaah~ The steak is so delicious, waaaaah~ Sister, who invented this steak-frying thing, waaaaah~?"
Mu En also honed her skill of eating and crying at the same time through her many acting roles.
Noa crossed her arms and quietly watched Mu En.
Xiao Guang stood obediently beside her.
Of course, her obedience is just a facade; in reality, the Little Pink Hair has completely lost her mind.
In the morning, my older sister came to me and said that there was something very important to do today and that we needed to meet in the backyard.
So Xiao Guang came.
I thought the important thing my older sister was talking about was some kind of magic training.
But who would have thought that I would be standing here watching my second sister eat steak while crying for my parents!
Xiao Guang couldn't understand it, but he was deeply shocked.
"Big sister, I'm three years old this year, but this is the first time I've experienced something like this, so this shouldn't be a traditional custom of our Silver Dragon Clan, right?"
Noa nodded, her little face very serious as she explained,
"To be honest, this should be considered a... random event."
Dad can disappear randomly for anywhere from three to ten days, so 'Mu En crying for her Mom' is naturally a random event as well.
Xiao Guang scratched his forehead and looked at his second sister.
