Chapter 457

"Of course, you still need to be prepared for the Red Dragon King to lose his temper."

Claudia reached out and patted Leon and Losweiser on the shoulder with both hands.

"We may accept it, but as older sisters, we'll never forget the anger we felt."

26. I was angry, but I was pretending.

Ischa felt the atmosphere was a little strange.

For some reason, those two insisted on dragging her to the coffee shop because of the sweet milky scent and soft face of the Dragon girl, and then let the children play by themselves for a while.

She and Claudia sat on one side, while Leon and Losweiser sat opposite them.

Each person had a cup of coffee in front of them.

Ischa crossed her arms over her chest, the rising steam from her coffee drifting past her eyes. She glanced at her sister sitting opposite her, then at her brother-in-law.

I still don't understand what this couple is up to.

The steam slowly dissipated, and the coffee was about to get cold.

Ischa finally couldn't help but ask.

"What exactly do you want to say to me?"

After saying that, Ischa glanced at Claudia beside her.

The beautiful woman shrugged innocently, meaning she didn't know what was going on either.

Helpless, Ischa could only look at the couple again.

The couple still seemed a little hesitant, as if they found it difficult to talk about what they were about to say.

Ischa tilted her head.

"If you won't tell me, then I'll just guess."

The couple exchanged a glance and chose to remain silent for the time being.

After all, this matter is quite important, and even those who have experienced many trials and tribulations can't help but feel nervous and at a loss.

So even though they had decided to confront Ischa, they both needed to prepare themselves mentally.

"I'm guessing... Little Los is pregnant again?"

Before the young couple could react to Ischa's words, Claudia, standing nearby, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"No, I'm sorry... please continue."

Losweiser bit her lower lip and shook her head. "No, sister. Although we've been thinking about having a third child, it's still just a thought for now."

Ischa raised an eyebrow. "So what are you trying to say?"

After a pause, Ischa changed to an expectant smile, "You're not really planning to send Xiao Guang to me, are you? Don't worry, as long as you're willing, I guarantee that in two hundred years Xiao Guang will become Red Dragon King even better than me."

Although Leon trusted Xiaoguang's talent and his older sister's doting affection for him, but—

"No, no, no, that's not it either..."

Ischa clicked her tongue impatiently, her ruby-like eyes sweeping over the couple.

"If it's not about family breakdown, then don't waste my time here. I need to go have fun with the girls."

"Home, family broken up—" Losweiser carefully considered her sister's choice of words.

It seems that, from a certain perspective, it might indeed involve 'family breakdown'.

Seeing her sister's reaction, Ischa felt that she had guessed correctly.

"Could it really be a broken family? What, are you two getting a divorce?"

This time, the couple both shook their heads in denial.

Losweiser explained, "No, no, how could we possibly get a divorce? We're already planning to have another baby, there's no way it would involve divorce..."

Leon tentatively added, "Actually... what we're talking about isn't just a problem between the two of us, but more importantly... you, sister."

Ischa frowned slightly, pointed to the tip of her nose, and asked blankly, "Me?"

"Um..."

Leon pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and then forgot about Losweiser beside him.

Losweiser gave him a barely perceptible nod.

Leon responded with the same gesture.

All right.

No matter what, the knife is already at my throat. It's just a matter of saying a few words. What is there for a real man to be afraid of?

Leon had never been this nervous when facing any of the Dragon Kings.

To put it another way... Ischa has directly ascended to become the second strongest Dragon King on the Samael Continent at this very moment—

First is his wife.

Leon shook his head to clear his mind of the jumbled thoughts. After organizing his words, he became serious and looked up to meet Ischa's eyes.

"Sister... actually, my marriage with Losweiser was a complete accident."

"What?"

"Here's what happened—"

Leon didn't remember how much courage he had mustered to tell Losweiser's older sister the whole story.

In those brief ten minutes or so, time seemed to stand still.

He could almost recall the clear sound of his heartbeat, the sweat dripping from his forehead, his fingers clenched until they turned white, his lips and tongue growing increasingly dry, and his ears burning hot.

Of course, there was also the way Ischa looked at him.

This doesn't mean that Ischa was suppressing her anger the whole time, but rather...

That's strange.

Ischa's eyes initially showed slight surprise, then gradually softened as Leon recounted the story, and finally she even showed a sense of relief, as if to say, "So it really is like that?"

Leon wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Ischa's reaction was a bit excessive...

It's become mundane.

When he finished speaking, the entire dining table by the window fell into a deathly silence.

Outside the window, people were bustling about, while inside, customers and waiters moved back and forth.

But the four of them seemed completely detached from all the hustle and bustle outside.

Sunlight streamed through the window, falling onto the dining table and making the dust particles in the air clearly visible.

That dividing line, formed from dust, lay between them.

"Ding—Ding—"

Claudia gently tapped the rim of her coffee cup.

The clear, crisp sound was like a whistle signaling the return of time to normal.

"Sis... we didn't mean to keep it from you for so long."

Losweiser said, "There were many things that weren't resolved before, but now that everything has settled, Leon and I don't plan to keep it from you any longer, sis..."

How could you... do this?

Ischa's tone was melancholy, her eyes trembling slightly.

"I'm your own sister, why can't you tell me this kind of thing?"

"I'm sorry, sister... we—"

"My God~ Why are all the children of my Melkwy family so rebellious?"

"My brother-in-law turned out to be a foreigner, and I, as the older sister, only found out five years later—"

"Looking at it this way... I'm the outsider!"

The couple were somewhat bewildered.

"... sister?"

But a single call did not stop Ischa from bursting into tears.

"Dragon God, if you truly have a spirit in heaven, why didn't you give me a hint sooner?"

"This heavy truth is weighing on my heart, making me so painful that I can't straighten up, and even breathing is incredibly difficult."

"Hmm... Sis? Are you even listening to us?"

"Yes, of course I am. If I wasn't listening, why would I be so angry?"

Leon was taken aback. "Brother-in-law, you're so blind, sister, I can't tell what's wrong with you..."

"I'm not angry?"

Ischa looked at Claudia, "Senior, do I really not look angry?"

Claudia took an elegant sip of her coffee, then said...

"You're teasing a child."

"..."

A single word awakens one from a dream.

Losweiser's mind raced, and she immediately realized...

"So... Sis, did you already know about Leon's human identity all along?"

Seeing that her act had been exposed, Ischa pouted unhappily.

"I can't say 'early,' and I certainly can't say 'I know.'"

She said, "Actually, from the very beginning, especially when Constantine invaded your Silver Dragon Clan, everyone said that my brother-in-law single-handedly dealt with that mad dragon, and I started to be curious about his identity."

"The descendants of a disbanded tribe could easily defeat Constantine. Even though you gave me a reason of 'for love and justice' and thought you had fooled me, I was just too lazy to ask any further questions."

"Then... Constantine turned into a Frankenstein's monster and attacked my Red Dragon Sanctuary. My brother-in-law used a Lightning Rush —but..."

Ischa narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at Leon, and continued,

"He called that move 'Thousand Birds' back then. Very few races call this move 'Thousand Birds', and Dragon Race... are not among them."

"I listed several races that habitually call them 'Thousand Birds' and then checked them one by one."

"When only the 'human' race remained, I think I understood."

"But just as I was about to continue the investigation, my grandmother stopped me."

At this point, Ischa shrugged, "So my background investigation on this mysterious brother-in-law ends here."

"But I'm still 70% sure that the man who promised me he would protect my sister and who has perfectly kept his promise does not belong to the Dragon Race."

Leon pondered Ischa's words, thought for a moment, and then said...

"Your grandmother... knows about it too?"

"Grandmother is a very intelligent person. Since even I have noticed it, she must have discovered something as well."

"Then why didn't she mention me and Losweiser— "

"The reason you and Little Los have been able to maintain this family until now is because of your grandmother's tacit approval."

Ischa leaned back slightly in her chair and spoke slowly.

"My grandmother often said that we should leave the era to the young people and let them make their own decisions."

"So I think that's why she never interfered with her granddaughter's choices."

"At last..."

Ischa slowly stood up, and a smile finally appeared on her beautiful face, which had been serious for so long.

"The Melkwy family has accepted your marriage, so please carry this acceptance and blessing with you and continue on your journey together."
