Chapter 90: Brother Leon’s Ten-Second Kill of Six Dragons Settlement Scene
by reimuThe hand-holding was his lie.
An embrace was the true purpose.
Rosvitha stared at that large hand, just about to reach out in response.
Unexpectedly, this scoundrel directly grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his embrace.
The Queen was already weak and tired, and her footing was unsteady. She practically fell into Leon’s arms.
The sudden embrace left Rosvitha unable to react, and the entire dragon was stunned in Leon’s arms.
Leon tightly wrapped his arms around Rosvitha’s slender waist, holding her close against him.
The way he cherished her was as if she might disappear the next second.
He said nothing and did nothing else, just held his wife this way, burying his face in her neck, feeling her body temperature and her gradually quickening heartbeat.
Rosvitha finally came to her senses.
Her cheeks instantly turned red.
What, what, what was this about?
Well well, Leon Casmode, you’re brave enough to hug me in front of others now, aren’t you?
In broad daylight, with daughters and maids all around, you dare to embrace me.
I, I, I don’t even want to imagine what you might do to me when we’re alone!
The Silver Dragon Queen’s mind was in chaos, with only her shy instincts driving her body.
Her tail unconsciously began to turn slightly red, and finally stood straight up—
Like an antenna stuck to her tailbone.
To be honest, even when facing the joint attack of two Dragon Kings earlier, Rosvitha hadn’t been as flustered as she was now in Leon’s embrace.
Beside them, Muen blinked and then silently covered Little Light’s eyes in her arms, “Children shouldn’t see this.”
Noia walked to her side and covered Muen’s eyes, “Children shouldn’t see this.”
Milan quietly circled behind them and covered Noia’s eyes, “Children shouldn’t see this.”
Fine, fine, fine, so only you maids get to enjoy this scene?
Isabella supported Anna’s arm. Though the head maid was covered in wounds, she hadn’t forgotten about her favorite couple to ship.
“What a shame…” Anna said.
“What?” Isabella asked.
“I didn’t bring a camera, otherwise I would definitely turn Her Majesty’s shy moment into a photo collection.”
Isabella lowered her eyes, looking at Anna’s chest, “Head Maid, you’re still bleeding… Could you maybe stop the bleeding before fangirling over your ship?”
“It’s nothing… mere fatal wounds are nothing compared to watching my shipped couple being sweet together.”
“…Head Maid, your shipping obsession will be the death of you.”
Meanwhile, Rosvitha was still in her ‘overheated’ state.
She hadn’t returned Leon’s embrace.
Because she didn’t know how to respond.
Moreover, Leon had trapped her arms in his embrace.
She couldn’t lift her hands, they could only stay tight against her sides, slightly clenched—
Like a penguin.
Her silver tail gradually drooped down, and her tense body relaxed a little.
“Are… are you just going to keep hugging me without saying anything?”
“I missed you so much.”
“……”
Wu~wu~
Whose kettle is boiling?
Oh~ It turns out it’s Her Majesty the Queen steaming from embarrassment. “St-stupid… with so many people here, couldn’t you say something else……” “No.” “Then let me go, and we can talk when we get back.” “I won’t.” Rosvitha: “?” “Then what will make you let go of me?” “Say you missed me too, and I’ll let go.” “……” The Queen slowly turned her head to look at Anna and the others, whose faces clearly showed they were enjoying the show. The desire in their eyes to hear “I missed you too” was even stronger than waiting to hear “I do” at a wedding. It was only because these three troublemakers were badly injured that they didn’t have the energy to make a scene, otherwise they would have exploded with excitement by now. Rosvitha bit her lower lip. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to say it. She was just really~~~ embarrassed!
Anna, Isabella, and Milan would definitely gossip about this until the universe collapsed and time ended!
But knowing this man’s personality, if she didn’t say it today, none of them would be allowed to leave.
Fine…
She’ll say it.
What’s there to be afraid of!
She was the Silver Dragon Queen!
“I missed you too—”
“Ahhhh!! She said it! Her Majesty said it! Ow! —Isabella, why did you hit me?”
“Couldn’t you at least wait for Her Majesty to finish speaking before celebrating?”
“Ugh, I’m sorry~”
Leon slowly released Rosvitha.
His embrace felt very warm.
That was from someone’s body temperature rising due to embarrassment.
“Papa~”
Seeing that her parents had finished being lovey-dovey for now, Muen finally seized the chance to get close to her father.
Leon turned around, bent down, and picked up Muen, also taking Little Light into his arms.
“Papa, Muen missed you so much, Muen thought you didn’t want us anymore.” The little dragon girl said pitifully.
“How could that be, Muen? Look, I’m back now, aren’t I?”
After a pause, Leon noticed his little treasure seemed to have gotten a bit chubbier, so he asked, “Have you been eating too much lately? Hmm?”
“Umm……”
“Second sister ate lots and lots of steak during the first month after you disappeared, Papa,” Little Light explained.
Leon paused, “Why?”
“Because! Because… before, every time Papa left, whenever Muen ate steak at Papa’s funeral, Papa would appear.” Muen said with complete seriousness.
“……”
Understood.
Steak was the father-summoning spell.
He smiled and nuzzled Muen’s soft cheek, “Time to go on a diet now, or else Papa won’t be able to carry you anymore.”
The diet was also for the child’s health, after all.
Muen nodded vigorously, “I understand, Papa.”
Leon smiled, then looked at Little Light.
Father and daughter gazed at each other briefly, then Leon slowly said,
“Well done, Little Light.”
The little pink-haired girl froze, blinking her eyes in confusion, “What… did I do? Why is Papa suddenly praising me?”
“Time isn’t about how much you have, but how you use it.”
Leon said, “You really did it, Little Light.”
Before the time reversal magic activated, the future Noia had said that Little Light hadn’t had the chance to receive Leon’s approval before he disappeared into the spatial rift.
And for these twenty years, Little Light had always been yearning for her father’s praise.
So even though the little pink-haired girl didn’t know the circumstances now, Leon couldn’t wait to praise his precious daughter.
To say that Aurora K. Melkvi was the MVP of this temporal salvation would be an understatement.
“Even though I still don’t understand… but Papa praised me, yay!”
“Then how do you plan to respond to Papa’s praise?” Leon deliberately brought his face closer.
Generally, children could tell that at times like this, they should give their father a daughter’s kiss, which would make any dad happy enough to fly.
But Little Light wasn’t an ordinary child.
“Alright, Papa, here it comes!”
Uppercut!
Leon had expected it.
But he still deliberately acted as if he was defeated by Little Light’s punch, entertaining his daughter.
Little Light clapped her hands, celebrating her victory over her father once again.
After handing his two daughters to Rosvitha, Leon finally looked at Noia.
Her little face was covered in soot, with traces of blood at the corner of her mouth.
Leon raised his hand and wiped away the dirt and blood from her face.
Father and daughter gazed at each other wordlessly, everything conveyed through their sincere eyes.
Finally, Leon extended his fist towards Noia.
Noia understood immediately and met her father’s fist with her own in the same gesture.
“Was Papa cool just now?”
“Super cool, Papa.”
“You’ll be as cool as Papa in the future.”
Noia let out an amused snort, lowered her fist, and stepped forward to hug Leon.
The little dragon girl pressed against her father’s ear and whispered in a low voice, “I’m proud to have you as my father, Papa.”
He gently stroked his daughter’s back, then picked her up, turned around, and looked at Rosvitha.
“What are we waiting for? Let’s go home and make steak for Muen.”
