Chapter 433

"But my second sister is eating so deliciously, I want to eat too."

Noa did not answer immediately, but looked at a maid beside her.

"According to the procedure, how long until it's your turn to recite your lines?"

The maid nodded respectfully. "Your Highness, it should be about thirty seconds."

Noa nodded, then looked at Hikari.

"Just bear with it, Dad Mom will be back soon."

Xiao Guang was stunned. He looked left and right, but couldn't see his parents anywhere.

Why is the eldest sister so certain?

"But Daddy Mom didn't say when they would be back when they went out. How did you know, big sister?" Xiao Guang asked.

Noa took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and said two words with a serious expression.

"Experience."

"Through... experience..."

Even the most humorous person would find it hard to laugh in such a bizarre setting.

Having been born into this family for three years, Xiao Guang still feels that he can't keep up with the thought processes of his older sisters, Dad, and other Mom at times.

Does this mean I'll really have to inherit my aunt's Red Dragon Sanctuary in the future...?

That wouldn't work, because then we'd have to change the 'Red Dragon' to the 'Pink Dragon'—

That doesn't sound imposing at all!

Xiao Guang's thoughts began to wander, and he tried to divert his attention from the eerie atmosphere.

Xiao Guang wasn't the only one who felt confused and bewildered by this.

"Funerals are solemn and somber events. They represent regret and remembrance for the deceased and are a traditional custom followed by most races on the Samael Continent, but—"

What are you guys doing?!

"It's one thing for the maids to be chatting and laughing, but why is even your sister stealing the offerings?!"

Within the space of consciousness, the ancestor was clearly astonished by the way the young man was playing.

The soul of complaining that had been extinguished for tens of thousands of years was igniting. If it hadn't been dormant for too long, out of touch with modern society, and slightly lacking in vocabulary, Noah would definitely be able to complain endlessly.

Noa calmly corrected her,

"She wasn't stealing food."

"Then who is she?"

"Eat openly and honestly."

"... So what exactly are you all making such a big fuss about? To mourn your invincible father? But he should only be away for a few days, it's not like he needs a funeral."

"No, it's not a sacrifice, it's... a summons."

The ancestor was even more bewildered, but then she thought that tens of thousands of years had passed since her time, and magic must have changed countless times over.

So... it's not impossible for summoning magic to turn into a funeral!

"A summoning spell that requires so many people... it must be very powerful, right?" The ancestor's face was full of seriousness.

Noa scratched her nose. "Um... theoretically speaking, one person is enough."

"Alone? Who?"

"The Princesses' filial piety moved heaven and earth! The Prince been resurrected again!"

"OK, they're back. We'll talk again next time."

Having said that, Noa left the space of consciousness. When she opened her eyes again, two familiar figures were already standing in front of them—

Oh, to be precise, only Mom is standing; Dad, for some reason, has become a wheelchair person.

First is Mu En—

"Daddy, what happened to your legs? You always come home perfectly fine before, why are you in a wheelchair this time?"

Little Moon quickly ran to Leon's side. Although she had been faking her tears, now her big, bright eyes were truly sparkling with lightning.

"Is it because Mu En stole your offerings that your leg got injured?"

The second daughter's emotions are genuine, but her logic is touching.

Leon smiled helplessly, picked up Mu En, and placed him on his lap.

"No, no, Daddy tripped over a stone and fell down when he went out this time."

"Really, Daddy?"

"Really? Would Daddy lie to you?"

"Then Mu En will massage Daddy's legs every day from now on, Daddy will get better soon!"

"Okay, Mu En, Mu En."

Noa was skeptical of her Dad's claim that he "tripped over a stone, fell, broke his leg, and ended up in a wheelchair."

She knew better than anyone what kind of extraordinary person her father was. A stone that could trip him up and break his leg couldn't possibly be an inorganic substance that could naturally form on the Samael Continent.

Noa didn't say anything.

Next up is Xiaoguang—

"Wow... Big sister, you really are a woman of your word! You said Mom and Dad would be back soon, and they really came back!"

This move shocked Xiao Guang once again for a whole year.

However, in addition to being shocked, Xiao Guang immediately realized that his older sister's ability to accurately predict when Dad Mom would return might be related to the ghost inside her body.

Hmm~~

This seems like a good investigative approach; I'll study it in more detail later!

"Come here, Xiaoguang, Mom give you a hug."

Losweiser crouched down and opened her arms.

The Little Pink Hair obediently snuggled up and nestled into the Queen's soft embrace.

Leon glanced at the mother and daughter, then whispered,

"Ahem— Mu En hugged me first."

Losweiser rolled her eyes at him. "Childish. I can't be bothered arguing with you."

Leon pursed his lips; he knew it. The Dragon Queen was going to lose.

When Leon won, Losweiser:

That's childish; I'm too lazy to argue with you.

When Leon lost, Losweiser:

I won! I won! I won! The strongest Dragon Slayer is just... this is it?

To put it more simply, it is—

If you lose, shut up and stay silent; if you win, charge in with a dragon.

Leon wouldn't stoop to her level!

Noa looked at the maids beside her.

"Thank you all for your hard work. You can go and get back to work now."

The maids bowed and then took their leave.

Noa had just walked up to the couple. She looked at Leon's right leg, which was in a cast, and asked with concern,

"Does it still hurt, Dad?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore, it's nothing serious, just a broken bone, it'll heal in a few days."

"Wow, with your abilities, Dad, you'll definitely recover quickly."

Although the eldest daughter has always been a loyal fan of General Leon, or simply a "Lai fangirl";

But now Leon really wants to say something:

Honey, Daddy's race isn't like your Dragon Race. Here, we believe in 'a hundred days to recover from a serious injury,' it has nothing to do with strength TAT

The family of five finally reunited after many days, chatting about the events of the past few days on the grass in their backyard, enjoying the morning breeze.

When Noa asked her parents what they had been doing these past few days, the couple tacitly chose to change the subject.

They couldn't very well tell their beloved daughter that Dad Mom had gone to make a revolution, not only overthrowing that dog emperor's throne, but also potentially ending this brutal war between humans and dragons several years earlier than planned.

So, with the couple's tacit cooperation, the conversation naturally shifted to Claudia and Helena.

Leon took this opportunity to tell Noa the good news.

Helena will be coming to visit us in a few days.

Upon hearing this, the three children reacted in different ways.

Noa (●'?'●):

My best friend is coming!

Mu En (▼ _ ▼):

A love rival is coming.

Xiao Guang (???):

The fun is about to begin!

5. Midlife crisis?

Before the two Sea Dragon race arrived—no, I mean the two Sea Dragon race guests! —Leon needed to heal his injuries first.

After all, to fulfill the promise he made to Claudia, he needed a healthy body.

Speaking of injuries, this battle in the Empire also made Leon vaguely aware of his limits.

Without the double Magic Power stored in the second Dragon Mark, and without Losweiser's Heart-protecting Dragon Scale, then the 'Night Armor' would only be Leon's last dance.

Even he, the strongest Dragon Slayer, could not withstand the backlash of the power from the full opening of the nine gates.

It's no wonder that the ancient book "The Gate of Nine Hells" has many special notes stating that "very few people in the world are able to open all nine gates."

It serves as a constant reminder to practitioners that to gain power beyond one's limits, one must pay a corresponding price, and that price can sometimes be far greater than imagined.

So after resolving the empire's crisis, Leon began to think about how to break through his current limits.

Leon knew it wasn't time for him to retire.

Not to mention that Queen Elizabeth of the Empire has not yet been found, let's talk about Constantine. Although Constantine deserves some credit for conquering the Empire, it does not necessarily mean that Constantine is on Leon's side.

He possesses immense Primal Power, and given Constantine's warlike nature, he would never waste such a powerful force.

Moreover, he himself said that he would definitely defeat Leon.

Furthermore, given the various lurking threats within the Dragon Race, Leon couldn't find a reason to retire comfortably.

Therefore, in order to protect himself and the people he cares about in such a chaotic world, he must become stronger.

It will be even stronger than it is now.

Of course, although it's not possible to open directly yet, Leon still gave himself a short vacation.

Having just cleaned up the mess that was the Empire, he wanted to take a good rest while recovering from his injuries.

I spend every day chatting with my daughters, giving them pointers on magic, and listening to my darlings sweetly call me "Daddy"—

This is what a real stay-at-home dad's life is like!

But...

There are always people who don't want Leon to enjoy a quiet vacation.

Losweiser Melkwy, the Silver Dragon Queen, a recognized workaholic, one of only two beings in the world who can restrain Leon—
