Shut Up Dragon! I Don't Want To Have Children With You Anymore

'Have you two sisters found a trick to make your dad obey your every command?'

The other day, Noah asked him to teach her thunder magic, and he agreed; Noah kissed him.

Now, Luna wants to eat more cake, and he agreed; Luna also kissed him.

'You, you, you, this is an unfair trade!'

'Whose family learns magic with just one kiss?'

'Whose family gets to eat more cake with just one kiss?'

'Don't you two know that your dad is a man who pursues fairness and justice, and is strict and impartial?'

'So, if you want a next time—'

'You'll have to kiss me twice more.'

"Little greedy dragon, wait, Daddy will get it for you."

"Yay~"

But before Leon could get up, the head maid Anna came over carrying two small cakes.

"Your Highness, Princess Luna, please enjoy."

"Thank you, Anna~"

"You're welcome, Your Highness.",Anna replied with a smile.

Leon also took a piece of cake, which had a small piece of orange on top.

He didn't start eating immediately but looked up and asked,"How much is left?"

"There's quite a bit left, Your Highness. The birthday cake you prepared for Her Majesty is really... too grand."

Leon shrugged,"Isn't it good to be grand for a birthday?"

Anna nodded,"True. Oh, by the way, Your Highness, last night I saw the thunder light on the back mountain, was that also prepared by you for Her Majesty?"

"Hmm..."

He didn't really want to talk about this, as it would give Anna and the other gossip-loving dragons something to chatter about.

Food can be eaten carelessly, but CP (couple pairing) should not be carelessly discussed.

'Actually, I'm not that close with your queen...'

"Was it through a magic array to drive the magical energy to achieve that effect?",Anna asked.

Leon silently nodded.

Coincidentally, after explaining the mechanism and principles of the magic array to Luna that day, Noah mentioned that her mother likes fleeting beauty. So, Leon had a sudden inspiration, combined the two, and created the thunder light blessing effect from last night.

"Truly befitting of Your Highness. Many of us saw it last night and praised Your Highness for being romantic and sentimental, truly capturing Her Majesty's heart."

'Hmph, when I casually make a move, it's top-tier romanticism. You dragons should learn a thing or two...',Leon thought to himself with pride.

"I'm already looking forward to what surprise Your Highness will prepare for Her Majesty's next birthday.",Anna said with anticipation.

Leon gave a forced smile and hummed twice.

'Next time?'

'There won't be a next time~'

In "The Captive's Suffering," there can be "celebrating a dragon's birthday," but definitely not twice!

———

Leon thought to take the opportunity during lunch to finish some of the remaining cake. Cream is a food that spoils easily, so it's best to eat it quickly.

He went to Rossweise's room and, without knocking, pushed the door open and walked in.

Rossweise was wearing a light home dress, lying on the living room sofa, enjoying the cool breeze from the balcony, feeling comfortable and relaxed.

Hearing footsteps, she didn't get up to look.

After all, the only person in the entire Silver Dragon Sanctuary who dares to enter her room without knocking is that one.

Rossweise has "disciplined" Leon many times for this, but that was in the past.

The little Leon from before was weak and could be easily controlled by her; but the big Leon now is as fierce as a lion, and Rossweise can't easily take action, or she might turn a balanced situation into a disadvantageous one, ending up in a crushing defeat.

So, she lets him be, as she's not in her room most of the day anyway, and she locks the door at night.

"Huh? Why are you here?"

Seeing the graceful figure lying on the sofa, Leon was momentarily stunned.

Usually, before lunch, Rossweise would be handling work in the sanctuary hall and would go directly to the dining room at mealtime.

Rossweise's silver eyes slightly opened a slit, glanced at Leon, then closed again,"You barge into someone else's room and then ask why they're here, does that make sense?"

Leon shrugged, indifferent.

He knew doing this would make Rossweise uncomfortable, so he did it.

'The more you dislike what I do, the more I do it, purely out of rebellion.'

After closing her eyes, Rossweise yawned deeply, with small tears squeezing out from the corners of her eyes.

"So you came back to slack off.",Leon teased.

"I work from eight to five, all year round without a break. What's wrong with wanting to sleep a bit today?"

"Nothing, go ahead. I came to get some cake."

Leon's gaze shifted from Rossweise to the coffee table beside her, where a small piece of leftover cake base was placed, with all the cream scraped off onto a piece of tissue paper.

"Do you really hate cream that much?",Leon asked, already knowing the answer.

Actually, he dislikes it too, as it has left an indelible impression on both of them.

But this bickering couple has always followed the mode of "injuring the enemy a thousand at the cost of eight hundred," so not asking would have been too stifling.

However, Rossweise didn't retort this time, just said,"Eating cream makes you fat."

As she spoke, she pinched her thigh through the thin fabric of her dress.

'Hmm, indeed, a bit more flesh.'

Not much, and it's not visible from the outside, but her sense of touch has always been accurate; if she says she's gained weight, then she has.

She wondered why, as she's always been careful with her diet and exercise, and her weight has been stable for decades.

But recently, the flesh has been growing like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, quickly adding up.

Could it be some bad habit she's developed recently that's causing the weight gain?

Rossweise thought about it, but no, everything is the same as before.

But...

If there's any difference from before, it's that...

The frequency of her and Leon "doing homework" has decreased.

'Hiss—'

Thinking of this, Rossweise tightly squinted her eyes, shook her head, driving away such messy thoughts.

Doing homework can help lose weight?

What kind of logic is that, never heard of it!

She sat up somewhat irritably, about to say something, but perhaps because she sat up too quickly, the blood didn't flow to her brain, causing her vision to darken momentarily and her head to feel dizzy.

Leon, while cutting the cake into small pieces and placing them on a plate, glanced at her.

She looked a bit strange.

"Are you sick?",Leon casually asked.

"No, just a bit... dizzy.",Rossweise said, gently rubbing her temples. [T/N: Guys, are you thinking, what I am thinking? 😏]

"Oh... drink more hot water.",Leon symbolically suggested.

Rossweise rolled her eyes at him, saying nothing.

After feeling a bit better, she got up from the sofa, put on a coat, and went out.

After cutting the cake, Leon also took it to the dining room.

The family of three sat at the dining table, with the cake temporarily set aside as a dessert after the meal.

Luna sat opposite Rossweise, not far from her mother. She blinked, looking at her mother, and suddenly asked,"Mom, you look like... you haven't woken up yet."

Rossweise looked up, tidied the hair by her ears, and smiled,"Do I? Maybe it's because I didn't put on makeup today, so I look a bit sleepy."

"Mom, you should rest more.",the little dragon girl said with concern.

"Yes, Mom knows. Hurry up and eat, don't you have to study with Dad this afternoon?"

"Yes, yes!"

Luna started eating seriously.

The couple glanced at each other, said nothing, and each silently continued their meal.

After a while, Rossweise advised,"Don't study too hard, remember to relax," then got up and left.

Leon looked at her plate, still with a lot of food left uneaten.

'Is she trying to lose weight?'

He looked up at Rossweise's retreating figure.

'Tall and graceful, with long hair like a waterfall, and with standard comic book legs and a slender waist, there's no need to lose weight.'

'I don't understand women.'

Leon turned his gaze back to his daughter,"Luna, eat more, you need energy to study."

"Yes, Dad!"

.

.

.

After the meal, father and daughter rested in the backyard for half an hour before starting their afternoon studies.

Luna's comprehension is quite good, and she learns quickly, which makes Leon very pleased.

Although the little daughter is mostly a mascot, when she gets serious, her learning efficiency is not inferior to Noah's.

And this entirely depends on Luna herself.

Noah is a genius and a workaholic, her lower limit is the upper limit for many; but Luna only puts in full effort when she wants to achieve a certain goal.

She told Leon that she wants to catch up to her sister, which is why she's working so hard.

The old father is very pleased, such effort is not just for frying steak, but also so positive, 'Truly my daughter.'

Leon is already looking forward to the day Luna awakens her talent.

If such a good seedling also awakens the thunder element like Noah, then the term "showing off" won't be enough to describe Leon.

He'll be dancing on Rossweise's head.

'See, mother dragon, the daughters are so strong, all because of my genes!'

'Ahem— Let's not pop the champagne yet, as it's still too early.'

Leon drove away the messy thoughts and continued to teach his daughter seriously.

Around three in the afternoon, Leon took a break, letting Luna do some exercises on her own.

He got up and, as usual, went to the bookshelf to pick out books that might help solve his magic depletion problem.

Noah said that the winter vacation at Saint Heath Academy is in a little over a month, and he needs to recover his magic before then to teach Noah more thunder magic.

Time is tight and the task is heavy, Leon can't delay.

But in the current situation, he has tried every method he could find, and there's still no progress.

Leon held the ancient book, leaning against the bookshelf, his brow deeply furrowed.
