Chapter 526

On the big bed, the baby crawls in front, and the Queen follows behind.

The mother and daughter moved in such unison that even General Leon couldn't bear to watch.

Why are you staring at the baby's bottom?

"I'll say it again, that's not a butt, it's! The! Tail! Vertebrae!"

Losweiser sat up and pulled the fourth child, who had tried to eat the teddy bear on the bedside table, back into her arms. "How could this be? How come it doesn't have a tail yet..."

Upon hearing this, Leon gave a smug snort.

"Give up, Dragon Queen. This is a great victory for human genes. You can't argue with that."

For the past few days, Losweiser has been puzzled. Even if the baby was born without a tail due to the Blood Seduction, shouldn't it have shown some Dragon Race characteristics after several days of development?

She, the dignified Silver Dragon Queen, couldn't possibly have a baby with that human idiot whose human-dragon gene ratio is 9:1, could she?

That would be so embarrassing!

So Losweiser has been following the baby around every step of the way these past few days, praying that one day, "whoosh," a tail will suddenly grow out.

But clearly, Her Your Majesty the Queen's prayers were in vain.

"It just doesn't have a tail yet; it will definitely grow one later."

Losweiser made a last stand.

Leon smiled and stopped arguing with her.

It wasn't that General Leon was merciful and let her go; he just wanted to use this opportunity to torture her. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future. Now that Losweiser had just given birth and her body hadn't fully recovered, Leon didn't want to deliberately go against her.

"Speaking of which, regarding the fact that the baby doesn't have a tail, our public explanation is that it's a 'very rare case.' Is that reliable?"

Leon asked with some concern.

The baby's lack of a tail naturally signifies that human genes have taken over, but despite his joy, Leon still harbors a slight worry.

A tail is an important feature of Dragon Race, and as the baby of the Fourth Princess of Melkwy, she will eventually come into the public eye and appear in public. No matter how hard we try to hide it, we will not be able to hide the fact that she has a tail.

Therefore, a suitable reason must be found while she is still young.

"Of course it's reliable."

Losweiser crossed her long legs and sat sideways on the soft bed.

She placed the baby on her lap, supporting her lower back with one hand and pinching her soft cheeks with the other, clearly adoring the little one.

"The reasons I gave you were all about being survivors of a fallen tribe, and no one has doubted them for so many years."

"Really nobody's here? Didn't your older sister already see right through us?"

"... My sister is a special case. She's too smart and wasn't part of my plan."

Leon chuckled. "Alright. Luckily, she's our daughter. Even without a tail, no one will gossip about her."

In the Dragon Race, the tail is not only an important physical feature, but it also often represents status and position.

Dragon Race that are unwilling to show their tails are not common, but almost all such Dragon Race are exiles or outlaws, so it is understandable that they are the subject of gossip.

Over the years, no one has dared to say that General Leon has no tail, because no one dares to, since General Leon is capable of taking real action when necessary.

What's even more deadly is that, currently, no carbon-based life form can defeat him;

As his daughter, the third child naturally wouldn't be subject to criticism.

Losweiser nodded and continued to play with her youngest daughter.

"By the way, it's time to decide on the baby's name."

Leon said, "Our last discussion resulted in choosing between 'Violet' and 'Muse,' but we still haven't decided after all this time."

As he spoke, Leon turned to look at the empty room. "Noa and the others have started school too, so there's no one to vote with us anymore."

The Queen's pupils flickered slightly as she came up with an idea. "Then let the baby choose for himself."

"Choose yourself? How do you choose?"

"Wait."

With that, Losweiser nimbly rolled off the bed, her long silver tail and skirt tracing beautiful arcs in the air—

Her movements were so fluid that she didn't look like she had just given birth.

To Leon's surprise, Losweiser found paper and pen.

She cut the white paper in half, then wrote the names 'Violet' and 'Muse' on each half. She then crumpled the paper into a ball and placed it in front of the baby.

Leon blinked, then suddenly realized, "So that's how you choose for yourself."

"Yeah, how about that? Aren't I smart?"

"Ah, this..."

"Is that so?"

"Yes... yes, yes."

"I agree. I feel that letting the baby draw lots is a completely new and unprecedented idea!"

You're not allowed to laugh. This is a side effect of "pregnancy brain" for three years. The Queen is still the Queen!

Leon covered his face.

"In our human society, there is a professional name for this kind of thing."

What is it?

"The Zhuazhou."

Leon explained patiently.

"When the baby turns one year old, the family will place all sorts of objects around the baby and let the baby grab them. If the baby grabs a gold coin, it means that the baby will be rich in the future; if the baby grabs a pen, it means that the baby will work in literature in the future, and so on."

Losweiser blinked her beautiful eyes curiously.

"That sounds really interesting... Let's do it like that later!"

In a daze, Leon mistook the silver-haired beauty before him for Mu En.

He knew it; Mu En couldn't have become a naive and innocent girl out of nowhere. Losweiser must have played a part in it.

Thinking back to when she had just given birth to Xiao Guang, Losweiser was just as sentimental and easygoing, much gentler and cuter than usual.

Leon shook his head, pulling himself out of his thoughts. "Okay, then let's put the name slips and some other items together and let the baby grab them."

"Can."

"Okay, then I'll go prepare some things first."

"Good."

Leon turned and left, while Losweiser continued to play with the baby.

A short while later, Leon returned and dumped a backpack full of things onto the bed.

Losweiser looked over,

"Gold coins, books... I can manage the formalities for now, but why bring the Imprint Stone?"

"If the baby catches the Imprint Stone, it means she will have a deep understanding of magic in the future."

"Oh, I see."

The Queen was about to praise her husband for being clever when she suddenly noticed something out of place among the pile of things.

She reached out and picked it up.

"Could you please explain to me again why this suona is here? Didn't we agree not to teach the baby the suona?"

"Art, wife, and the suona represent art!"

"Then we should find something else to represent art! The suona is too abstract."

Leon shrugged. "I could only find a suona for now, so we'll have to make do with it."

"Tch, you've directly ruined our baby's artistic path. How could she possibly choose the suona?"

"Not necessarily, we'll see."

"Fine, we'll see."

After taking Zhuazhou, the couple placed them around the baby one by one, not forgetting to add the two crumpled pieces of paper with the baby's name on them.

"Alright, my dear daughter, choose."

The couple squatted by the bed, only peeking out their heads like ground squirrels, secretly observing their baby's every move.

Their gaze followed the baby's movements, moving from side to side.

The baby first crawled towards the gold coins.

"This is great, this is great! The baby will definitely be rich and prosperous in the future," Leon said.

But the baby crawled halfway and then turned to the book next to him.

"That's not bad either, becoming a scholar or something," Losweiser said.

However, this was just a feint.

The baby looked at the next few items, such as silk, abacus, and snacks, but didn't pick them up.

The couple squinted their eyes slightly.

"Something's not right... Does the baby not seem interested in any of these things?" Losweiser asked.

"Who said that? There's still one suona left, isn't there?"

The Queen rolled her eyes. "She wasn't interested in any of those pretty little trinkets before, so why would she possibly want your suona?"

Leon didn't answer, but just gestured towards the bed with his chin, "Look, look, the baby's heading towards the suona!"

Upon hearing this, Losweiser immediately looked over.

The obedient daughter was determinedly crawling towards that abstract musical instrument!

"Hey, no, baby!"

"Eeya eeya~"

The Fourth Princess babbled in a baby language that no one could understand, and despite her Mom's helpless attempts to dissuade her, she grabbed her father's suona (a traditional Chinese wind instrument)!

"Losweiser, some things are destined, and you can't change them."

General Leon's tone was filled with barely suppressed smugness.

Losweiser pouted. "Anyway, you promised me you wouldn't teach her the suona. Even if she gets it Zhuazhou, she'll still have to learn other instruments later."

Leon nodded. "I know, I know."

After their struggle was over, the couple looked intently at their baby again.

There are two crumpled pieces of paper left, which will determine the baby's future name.

She first looked at the first crumpled piece of paper, then picked it up in her hand. Just as she was about to open it, she suddenly stopped.

Then, the baby grabbed another crumpled piece of paper.

She looked left and right, seemingly making a difficult decision.

Finally, the baby unwrapped the second crumpled paper.

The couple immediately joined in.

The crumpled paper slowly unfolded, revealing beautiful, delicate handwriting that read:

"Muse".
