Rossweise Melkvei, Queen of the Silver Dragons, a recognized workaholic, one of the only two beings who can restrain Leon.
The second being Little Light's uppercut.
In these few days after returning from the Empire, Leon had been avoiding Rossweise.
On the first day, Rossweise asked Leon to bathe with her.
Leon declined her with the excuse, "Your Majesty went to inspect the border today, the journey was exhausting, better to rest early."
On the second day, Rossweise wanted Leon to help her check if her newly purchased black gauze camisole nightdress looked good.
Leon declined again with the excuse, "Wife, you're a natural clothes hanger figure, you look good in anything. I'm sleepy, sleeping first!"
On the third day, Rossweise brought a brown hard candy, saying it was the latest concentrated harmless dragon power refined by Little Light, the effect was stable, and urged Leon to try it.
Then Leon refused for the third time with the excuse, "I am the strongest dragon slayer, if I eat, I'll eat the Dragon Power Pro Max version, I disdain to eat the concentrated type."
On the fourth day—
"Tonight, after you bathe, wait for me on the bed, prisoner."
The queen gave an authoritative order, no longer playing any "coded language between husband and wife" with Leon, directly saying it clearly, to stop this idiot from making up all kinds of excuses to refuse to turn in homework.
"...I, I'm a bit tired, how about tomorrow?", Leon tried to struggle.
"Don't you humans have a saying, 'Tomorrow after tomorrow, how many tomorrows there are'? It's to remind you to cherish time, to finish what needs to be done today."
"You remembered wrong, wife, it's 'Tomorrow after tomorrow, indeed many tomorrows', meaning that a person's life is long, nothing can be considered urgent, even if it's postponed to tomorrow, it's not too late," Leon seriously made things up.
But the queen only gave a cold snort, "A person's life is long? Longer than mine?"
"Ah, uh...", Leon was a bit at a loss for words.
'Eh, seems like hers really is longer.'
"Is... is it really that urgent, mother dragon?"
"I'm not in a hurry," Rossweise calmly said, "I just feel you've been working too hard these days, too stressed, so I want to help you relieve some pressure, I'm doing this all for your good."
"Wow, your reason is really impeccable!"
Rossweise slightly tilted her head, arms crossed in front of her chest, her beautiful silver eyes sizing up Leon.
After a moment, she asked meaningfully, "Leon."
"What?"
"You're not... having a midlife crisis, right?"
General Leon was stunned, blinked, "Mid-midlife crisis..."
"Yes. I heard that you human males, once you reach a certain age, start to gradually lose desire in that aspect, become without desires or pursuits, even the body, tsk tsk tsk, so this is the reason you've been rejecting me?"
"Nonsense! I'm only twenty-five! My body is fine, where would there be a midlife crisis."
Hearing this, Rossweise revealed a smile of a successful scheme.
To Leon, using a provocation tactic was old-fashioned, but effective.
"Then go bathe."
"..."
Only then did Leon realize he fell for the mother dragon's trick again.
Actually, the reason he had been refusing to turn in homework wasn't because of some "midlife crisis," but more due to careful calculation of the future.
During the battle with the Empire, Leon first started off by spending a whole dragon pattern's worth of mana to use Dragon Slayer.
Then he used up all the remaining mana to open the Ninth Gate.
After the battle, his right leg was fractured due to power recoil and was still in a cast now.
In other words, Leon was currently in a state of no mana and low HP.
If he were to face the mother dragon in this state, all initiative in the whole process would be tightly held in her hands.
Just thinking about it was terrifying.
So these past few days, Leon kept coming up with all kinds of excuses to reject Rossweise.
He planned to muddle through, wait until his body recovered a bit, then have a grand showdown with that mother dragon.
But then again, there's a saying: one quilt can't sleep two kinds of people.
Since Leon's reason for rejecting Rossweise was his current physical condition and the ease of losing the initiative in turning in homework;
Then naturally, Rossweise thought the same, strike while he's weak, take his life.
If she didn't give him a lifetime-unforgettable "dragon impact," he might've forgotten his prisoner status.
Moreover, Rossweise had already been planning this ever since they returned from the Empire.
Today, she was just finally unable to hold back and went straight to the point with Leon.
If this guy still rejected her, she would have to resort to some "violent" methods.
The married couple looked at each other.
After a long while, Leon gave in, deciding to try one last shot at sympathy,
"Rossweise, look, my leg injury hasn't healed, it's not very convenient to move around... and if I exert too much force, it might make the injury worse, you wouldn't want your husband to walk with a cane in the future, right?"
"It's okay, you don't need to move,".The queen's tone was still calm, and it was with this calm tone that she delivered the explosive line next, "I can be on top and move myself."
Leon: ?
"Beastly words! Beastly words!"
"What are you yelling for, we've tried that position before."
"Still, still no can do..."
"Tsk!"
Rossweise slightly furrowed her brows, impatiently clicking her tongue lightly, "If you say no again, it'll really kill the mood."
After a pause, Rossweise also expressed her understanding of Leon's current physical condition, "Alright then, since it's inconvenient, let's switch to a relatively safer method."
Leon looked up, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart, "What... method?"
Rossweise rose from the bedside, her bare snow-white feet slowly stepping in front of Leon, then raised her hands and gently undid her corset.
A pair of soft mounds broke free from their restraints and bounced out.
Moonlight poured in from the window, lightly falling on those two pinkish spots.
Such a fragrant and seductive scene made Leon blush slightly.
"Rossweise..."
"It's my first time trying this too, if I don't do well, please be understanding."
"Huh?"
'Don't do this, mother dragon, you saying it like this makes me even more scared!'
———
Leon leaned on the sofa, Rossweise knelt in front of him.
The purple dim light of dragon pattern slowly shimmered, symbolizing that the couple was also gradually entering the right mood.
Leon's face was flushed, trying this brand-new method for the first time made him a little lost.
Rossweise was the same.
Moreover, because it was her first time using a move like "through the ears," Rossweise was still unskilled, and after several attempts, she still failed to clamp properly.
"...Maybe we should try another method," Leon suggested.
But how could Her Majesty the Queen be the kind of person who gives up halfway?
Tonight, they must unlock this new position.
"No, I will definitely succeed," Rossweise said stubbornly, then cupped her chest again and tried once more.
But unsurprisingly, she failed again.
"Weird... could it be my breasts are too small?"
The E-cup queen couldn't help but doubt her hardware.
Just as Rossweise was studying how to clamp comfortably, Leon asked faintly, "Come to think of it... where did you learn this move?"
Though they had been married for five years, the couple's homework process had always been "by the book."
Even though their actions were bold and could last till dawn, most of the time, they used traditional methods.
The reason being, the two were each other's "first love," with no prior experience, so they could only follow biological instinct in doing husband-and-wife matters, which meant no flashy techniques.
At most, they did a little costume play.
And Rossweise's sudden "two giant breads sandwiching cheese" move really startled Leon.
"Mm... read it in a book,".Rossweise said.
"...You usually stay up late in the study reading books, were you reading these kinds of things?"
"N-nonsense!", Rossweise rebutted, "It's from some romance novels... that have this kind of description."
She did have a habit of reading romance novels, which Leon knew.
But now romance novels don't write about young men and women's sweet love anymore, and instead do this kind of intense stuff?
Hiss—
But thinking about it, adding such simple, crude, and well-received elements into all the sappy drama, wasn't bad either.
After all, what the masses like, that's the good stuff.
"I feel like the frequency you read romance novels these past two years seems much higher than when I first met you," Leon suddenly said.
Rossweise was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "Yeah, the time I spend reading novels is indeed much more than when I was alone before."
Leon blinked, catching the keyword in Rossweise's sentence: When I was alone before.
So strictly speaking, the increase in Rossweise's romance novel reading frequency started after she and Leon became a married couple.
She quietly knelt there, her silver long tail naturally resting on the carpet.
Leon looked at her cool and delicate face, and seemed to understand the reason for this phenomenon.
Just like why the couple remained so rule-abiding in their "bedroom affairs", they didn't really know how to face a real wife or husband.
