Chapter 481

Claudia clapped her hands, smiled with narrowed eyes,

"So, in conclusion, you two, once you get home, let's start preparing for our third child!"

51 Watch me kill in one shot!

The couple returned to the Silver Dragon Sanctuary in the evening.

Dinner was simple yet heartwarming, but without the chatter of my daughters, it felt like something was missing from the table.

That's understandable, since they were hardly apart throughout the entire summer vacation.

When school suddenly starts, it can feel deserted.

Leon fiddled with his fork, poking at the remaining food on his plate. Although he wasn't full, he had little appetite.

He loses his appetite when his mind is in a mess.

The reason he was so distracted was because of what Claudia had said to him and Losweiser during the day.

They always felt that the most urgent task was to investigate Ying and Adam, and believed that having another baby would be "delaying the important matter".

But Claudia's words today made the couple, who were blinded by their own involvement, see the true nature of the matter.

Tracking down the remnants is the right thing to do, but isn't the magnificent Silver Dragon Clan the right thing to do too?

However, despite saying that, Leon didn't know how to start the 'baby-making project' with Losweiser.

The reason is quite simple:

He has no experience of having a child just for the sake of having a child!

Conceiving Noa and Mu En was Leon's desperate counterattack at the critical moment of life and death, and also the beginning of his love-hate relationship with Losweiser;

Getting pregnant with Xiao Guang was an absolute surprise; heaven knows why Losweiser forgot to use purification magic back then!

Therefore, if they really want a third child, this will be the first time in six years of marriage that the couple has actively and according to their own will that they have tried to conceive.

This is what Leon is struggling with.

Snap—

He put down his fork and looked at Losweiser beside him.

Her Your Majesty the Queen plate. At that moment, she was looking down at the table, her hands supporting her chin, her chubby cheeks slightly squeezed, making her look quite adorable.

"No appetite?" Leon asked softly.

Losweiser shook her head. "I'm thinking about something."

Leon raised an eyebrow, then tentatively asked,

"What you're thinking about isn't the same thing I'm thinking about, is it?"

Upon hearing this, Losweiser blinked and looked up at Leon.

"What's on your mind?"

"You go first."

"No, you go first."

"I won't tell you if you don't want to."

"Then count to three, two, one, and say it together."

"Good."

Leon & the Queen: "Three, two, one—"

"I knew you were going to trick me!"

Losweiser gently kicked Leon's shin under the table, chuckling playfully, "Alright, tell me, what are you thinking about?"

Leon also adopted a serious attitude and replied earnestly.

"Actually... I'm a little anxious about having a third child."

"It's not that I don't want to have another child with you, it's just... it's just that I've never done 'that' with you before in order to have a child..."

"This feeling... is a little unfamiliar."

When Leon first woke up from his two-year coma and saw Mu En appear before Leon, making him a father, Leon wasn't as conflicted as he is now.

This is similar to the difference between "being suddenly killed by a large truck" and "being explicitly told the date of your execution".

Being suddenly thrown into the air by a large truck leaves no time to react; the pain may only last for a moment, and you may not even feel it at all.

But if the date of death is given in advance, then every day leading up to that day will be an ordeal of suffering and torment.

Having a child wouldn't torment Leon to the point of torture, but it would still make him feel somewhat awkward.

It felt like... I was handing in my homework with a strong purpose, rather than for the joy of being with my loved one.

Losweiser nodded in understanding of Leon's anxiety and worry.

"Then we are indeed thinking the same thing."

Losweiser pouted; she rarely made such girlish gestures.

But once she did it, it meant that she too was caught in a state of confusion and difficulty in making a choice.

Unable to resolve her inner sorrows, the strong Silver Dragon Queen, Losweiser could only rely on the little girl she had always kept hidden in her heart.

"But it's not that I don't want to have a third child. Senior Claudia is right, I really... love children."

Losweiser continued,

"But this kind of thing... sigh, it's really difficult."

For the third child, he/she is indeed part of the third wave to arrive in the Melkwy family;

But for the baby's parents, this is their first time experiencing this.

Even though they are an old married couple who have tried all sorts of ways to have children, they are still worried about "how we should face the issue of having children".

It seems that this will be another significant addition to General Leon's illustrious and abstract life.

Shortly after, Milan arrived with her maids to clear the table.

Seeing that there was still a lot of food left on Losweiser's plate, Milan nodded and asked,

"Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell?"

"Oh, no, you can take it."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Milan glanced back and gave her a look, and the maids immediately came up to clear the table.

Taking advantage of this break, Milan asked again with concern,

Is Your Majesty thinking of the Princesses?

Actually, I was thinking about your next Princess.

Losweiser smiled wearily and shook her head. "It's nothing, Milan."

After a pause, Losweiser suddenly remembered something and asked,

"Oh right, I remember you broke up with your boyfriend before, right?"

Milan was slightly taken aback, then her face flushed red, and she turned her head away without giving a direct answer.

But such a shy reaction speaks volumes.

"Oh~ So you dated someone else after that?"

"No, Your Majesty, we made up later. And..."

"And?"

"And we plan to get married at the end of this year, and if possible... we'd like to have another baby."

Want to have a baby.

This surprised Losweiser somewhat, but upon reflection, it made perfect sense.

Because the Silver Dragon Clan suffered heavy losses in the battles of a few years ago, Losweiser and Leon discussed launching a "Silver Dragon population expansion" plan.

Commonly known as a "love tutoring class".

May the people of the Silver Dragon Silver Dragon Clan fall in love more, have more children, and grow stronger.

Judging from Milan's current relationship progress, it seems the tutoring was quite effective.

Milan.

"Yes, Your Prince, what is it?"

"Don't you feel anxious about having a baby?"

Losweiser nodded in agreement; she was also eager to know Milan's feelings and thoughts.

This isn't because Her Your Majesty the Queen and her husband love gossiping.

The sensitive and thoughtful couple was worried about having a child. Milan happened to be planning to have one too, so they took the opportunity to ask her.

Maybe it can help resolve the couple's inner turmoil.

"Anxiety?"

Milan blinked her beautiful big eyes, thought for a moment, and then shook her head.

"No, I'm not anxious at all."

"Because I think having a baby is a very happy thing, why would I be anxious about something so happy?"

"However... after all, this is the first time that idiot and I are trying to be parents, so... to be more accurate than anxious is nervous and expectant."

Listening to Milan's account, Leon and Losweiser exchanged glances.

Immediately, Leon asked, "Nervousness and anticipation? Can you describe these feelings in detail?"

This has put Milan in a difficult position.

She scratched her forehead, silently choosing her words in her mind.

"Emmm... I think that for something that has been determined to be 'happy,' the preparation stage must be both nerve-wracking and exciting."

"Because although everyone knows that everyone will be happy after having a baby, no one can be sure what kind of happiness it is."

"This is the unknown and surprise that the birth of a new life brings us."

"If you feel anxious about this, I think it's because you're taking it too seriously and neglecting the meaning of having a baby in the first place."

The little maid tilted her head slightly, her slender eyebrows curving into beautiful crescent moons.

"Don't put the cart before the horse, Your Majesty, Your Prince."

Having learned a valuable lesson from both Claudia and their maid in a single day, Leon and his wife felt they had benefited greatly.

In the evening, they lay flat on the large bed, their hands folded over their abdomens, staring straight at the ceiling, their movements remarkably synchronized.

"I think Milan is absolutely right."

In the dim light, Losweiser whispered.

"We feel anxious about this because we have overlooked the significance of having a baby in itself."

Leon understood what his wife was thinking at that moment.

"Yes. We always overthink things and focus too much on our own feelings in the moment, but we overlook the fact that the arrival of a new life is actually a long and worthwhile process."

"And this long process—"

At this point, the couple turned to look at each other simultaneously.

They looked at each other and said in unison, in a soft voice,

"I will be there for you."
