Chapter 522

"Oh? How did you dodge it?"

"Constantine helped us hold the vice principal back."

"Wow, it seems that the value of that mad dragon is still increasing."

After a few words of conversation, the graduation ceremony officially began.

The young dragons went on stage to receive their certificates.

Although it wasn't graduation from their entire academic career, they still wore custom-made graduation gowns.

The children lined up neatly, waiting for the principal and vice-principal to present them with their graduation certificates.

Leon and his wife, along with Claudia, also came down to the stage in the auditorium and looked up at the stage.

"Congratulations, Helena, on graduating from the Young Dragon Department with the third-highest score. Here is your graduation certificate, please keep it safe."

"Principal Olet."

Little Sea Dragon girl accepted the certificate and bowed deeply.

"Shira, congratulations on graduating in second place. Please keep your certificate safe and keep up the good work in the future."

"Thank you, Vice Principal Wilson."

Finally, the two principals approached the top-ranked student in this promotion assessment, half-squatted down, and handed her the graduation certificate with both hands, representing the girl's more than two years of unremitting efforts.

"Noa K. Melkwy, congratulations! You are the youngest student in the history of the Saint Hiss Academy to graduate from the Young Dragon Department with the highest score. Your name will be engraved on the academy's wall of honor, where you will share this glory with countless predecessors."

After saying that, Principal Olet took out a gold medal and pinned it to Noa's chest.

"The sacred Tiamat Medal will illuminate your path to the future."

The principal took Noa's hand, turned around, and faced all the teachers, parents, and students in the audience, raising her arm high.

At that moment, thousands of applause rang out just for her.

1. Summer Breeze

With Losweiser's due date approaching, the entire family is taking it very seriously.

But in reality, there's very little outside help you can offer when it comes to having a baby; at most, you can provide some emotional support.

In other words, they are very busy, but they don't know what they are busy with.

Until one day, the Queen proposed:

"Why don't we choose a name for the baby before he/she is born?"

Once this precise policy was implemented, the husbands and children under their command all had something to do.

So, on a sunny morning, the family gathered in the gazebo in the front courtyard of the Holy Temple.

Mu En and Xiao Guang carried a colorful plaque from inside the house.

The signboard was spelled out with the words "Melkwy Third Family Meeting" using various colored cards.

Among them, the 'three', the horizontal line in the middle is obviously pasted on, and the size of the font does not match the other characters.

This shows that the two kids used a little trick when preparing the plaque for this meeting. Instead of repainting the lettering, they added a stroke to the one from the last meeting.

But it's no big deal. Cleverness is still cleverness. My daughter should be this quick-witted, General Leon thought.

Xiao Guang was born relatively late, so he missed the first two family meetings, and so he asked,

What did you discuss in the previous two meetings?

Mu En counted on her fingers, recalling, "The first time was a vote to decide whether Daddy and Mom should move in together to sleep, and the second time was to discuss what name you should have, Xiao Guang. Yeah, that's how it was."

The Little Pink Hair raised an eyebrow and blinked her beautiful big eyes.

"So your parents didn't live together before?"

Mu En nodded.

"Yes, Daddy always slept in the nursery before, but they moved in together after Mom got pregnant with you."

Xiao Guang seemed thoughtful, "So that's how it is...?"

For the first time, Le Zilong felt that he was born too late.

If it had been earlier, we might have seen those two mushy in-laws secretly enjoying each other's company while living separately.

Xiao Guang shook his head and quickly asked again,

"They even held a meeting specifically to name me, but in the end, they could only come up with such a hasty name as 'Xiao Guang'...?"

"No, no, that meeting ended in failure. Before we could even finalize your name, some unexpected things happened."

The "accident" refers to the day Losweiser gave birth, when Constantine was ordered by the Empire to invade and subdue her, and was eventually made into a dragon head figurine by General Leon and hung at the door.

Not long after that, Leon returned to the Empire to investigate the mole, while Losweiser waited for him in the woods near the Empire.

The couple were gone for four or five days. Only after they returned did they decide on the formal name 'Aurorla' for Xiaoguang.

However, because Mu En always called 'Aurorla' 'Aurorla', Leon and his wife gave their third daughter the nickname 'Xiaoguang', which means 'autumn light'.

"Alright, the third family meeting is now beginning."

Leon clapped his hands, then placed a whiteboard on the stone table under the pavilion.

"The topic of our family meeting today is—to name our fourth child. Everyone is actively discussing and speaking up."

Losweiser sat with her three little ones on stools by the stone table. The mother and daughters sat neatly together, giving off a serious vibe, as if they were at work or in a meeting.

Mu En eagerly raised his hand first.

"Me! Me! Me! I have so many great names!"

"Then Mu En, you go first."

"Stars, stars!"

Noa quickly pressed down on her sister's arm, complaining helplessly, "Why are you always thinking about your star..."

"What's wrong with the stars! Xiao Guang, tell me, isn't the sound of stars nice?"

To save face for his second sister, Xiao Guang naturally agreed, "It sounds good, it sounds good."

"Hmph, see? Even Xiao Guang says it sounds nice. We should have given her this name back then!"

The Little Pink Hair paused, then pointed to the tip of her nose.

"So the name 'Star' was originally intended for me?"

Of course.

"..."

Thank goodness, thank you Dad, thank you Mom, thank you eldest sister, for not listening to my second sister's advice back then.

What a hasty name, "Star"! It doesn't suit the temperament of this god of pleasure at all!

"Since 'star' doesn't work, a homonym for 'star' will do, like... 'Sta'..."

"Hey, this name isn't quite right either."

The speaker this time was Leon.

Mu En scratched her cheek. "Why isn't it working, Daddy?"

"One of your Daddy's defeated enemies was a dragon king named 'Star.' Giving the baby that name doesn't have a good connotation," Losweiser explained to Leon.

Mu En quickly nodded, "Oh, okay then."

"If you ask me, I'd say Blaze," Noa said.

"Sister, you're one to talk! Aren't you the same person who's always been hung up on that savage name?"

"Where is Blaze a savage? Xiao Guang, does Blaze sound nice?"

Having learned his lesson, Xiao Guang didn't immediately give a firm answer, but instead tentatively said...

"Um... it sounds good?"

"It just sounds nice. It's a pity that it almost became your name back then, Hikaru."

That's really not a pity at all, eldest sister.

My second sister is right, this name sounds too wild.

It is even less in line with the temperament of this god of pleasure.

So, is today's family meeting about naming the third baby, or reviewing the decision to discard Xiao Guang's given name?

The names Noa and Mu En offered were naturally not very good.

"Xiao Guang, do you have any ideas?" Losweiser asked.

Xiao Guang, unusually serious for once, stroked his chin and began to think to himself.

"A little while," Xiao Guang said.

"Violet, or... Muse."

Upon hearing this, the couple exchanged a glance and then nodded almost imperceptibly at the same time.

Unexpectedly, in the end, it turned out that the youngest daughter was the most reliable.

"Why did you think of these two names, Xiao Guang?" Mu En asked curiously.

Noa leaned forward as well, looking at Xiaoguang through Mu En, "Yes, I know violets, they're a kind of flower, but is it related to the name 'Muse'?"

Xiao Guang shook his head.

"The two names are not directly related; I just thought of them."

Xiao Guang jumped off the stool, walked to the railing of the pavilion, and looked at the flowers, plants and trees in the yard. The sun was shining brightly and a gentle breeze was blowing. It was so comfortable.

"The meaning of violet is 'eternal beauty and love,' and it also means 'coolness in the height of summer.'"

Xiao Guang turned around and continued, "I think since it was born in this summer, let's give it a name that represents summer, namely Violet, which is quite nice."

Noa and Sister Muen looked at each other in bewilderment.

"It definitely sounds better than your Blaze, sister."

"It sounds better than your star, Mu En."

Losweiser covered her mouth and chuckled, then asked, "And what about the 'Muse'?"

"Oh, that's a name I heard in a book I recently read."

Xiao Guang said,

"In that book, the 'Muse' is an ancient deity who governs art and music and often sings and dances gracefully when the gods gather."

"Some time ago, my older sisters and I often heard piano music coming from our Mom's music room."

At this point, Xiao Guang paused for a moment, then added,

"And a sound we've never heard before, a sound with extremely penetrating power..."

"Although I don't know what it is, it still gets me very excited."

"Whether it is a beautiful and gentle piano sound or a strange and powerful sound, both have a certain artistic quality."

"So I think if this younger sister or brother has an interest or talent in this area, perhaps we can name them 'Muse'."

Xiao Guang's two suggestions are indeed comprehensive enough.

It takes into account both the timing of the third baby's birth and the future direction of their upbringing.

In any case, there are always options available.

After some discussion, Leon and Losweiser decided to choose between 'Violet' and 'Muse' as the name for their third child.

The midday wind was blowing very gently.

Losweiser sat in the gazebo, gently stroking her swollen belly; Leon stood beside her, his arm around her shoulder.

The Dragon girl were writing and drawing on the whiteboard they had just used.

This warm and harmonious family is about to welcome a new member.
