"The whole thing happened like that."
In the bedroom, Rossweise lay on the bed, gently stroking her increasingly rounded belly. Leon sat on the edge of her bed, peeling an apple while telling her about what happened today.
After listening, the queen nodded thoughtfully, "So that means, under your well-planned maneuvers and wise, martial decisions, you easily defeated that Six-Winged Dragon-Hawk and took back—"
Rossweise glanced at the Jade Dew Dragonfruit placed on the bedside, "Took back the only Jade Dew Dragonfruit, right?"
"That's right, that's right, wife, you're so smart, great summary!"
Rossweise gave a soft snort, casually pulled a notebook out from under the pillow, flipped to the first page, "But according to Shirley's submitted guard attendance report, the one who actually delivered the effective blow to that Six-Winged Dragon-Hawk was Noah."
She put down the pen, propped her chin on one hand, looked at the man at the bedside with coquettish eyes, affection in her gaze, a playful smile at the corner of her mouth, and slowly said, "And you, my dear husband, the well-strategizing Silver Dragon Prince, the wise and martial Dragon-Slaying Hero, after several attacks all missed, merely made a stepping-stone for our precious daughter, right?"
General Leon's face flushed, but he still tried to argue reasonably, "...Noah used Thunder Wolf Breaker and Thousand Birds at the time, both of which I taught her, so I at least have one-third of the credit."
"Oh? Fine, in light of your one-third credit, I won't argue about you secretly hoarding the Jade Dew Dragonfruit."
Hearing this, Leon was stunned, "W-what secret hoarding of dragonfruit..."
"Shirley's report clearly said there were two Jade Dew Dragonfruits, so why did you only bring back one for me?"
"Ah that—"
Slap!
Rossweise slapped the mattress, feigning angry embarrassment, "Say it, did you secretly give it to some little outside female dragon?"
Leon: ?
Perhaps someday Leon could write a book titled How to Turn a Cold, Domineering Queen into a Jealous Little Girl.
The answer is simple: Make her pregnant.
But Leon still couldn't understand why a mother dragon with abundant pregnancy experience had progressively worse emotion management after getting pregnant.
When she was pregnant with Little Light, Leon could barely cope;
But now pregnant with the fourth, Leon felt this mother dragon had begun to treat acting spoiled and making a fuss as daily routine.
Still, Leon didn't feel annoyed.
In fact he thought this version of Rossweise was somewhat cute, much better than her usual aloof demeanor.
"Mm mm mm, yes yes yes, I gave it to another little female dragon, are you satisfied, Majesty?"
"Leon."
"What?"
"I can make a fool of myself with you, but you can't make a fool of me."
"Why?"
"Because I can't take it."
"..."
'Alright, alright, though she can't take it, she's pretty honest about it.'
Leon smiled helplessly and sighed, "Okay, okay, I really can't do anything about you."
While jokes and banter were exchanged, Leon had already finished peeling the apple and cut it into small pieces on a plate.
He stuck a few toothpicks into the fruit pieces, handed it to Rossweise's pillow, and continued, "Actually the mate of that Six-Winged Dragon-Hawk was also pregnant; it stole the Jade Dew Dragonfruit for that. I only found out when I was about to leave, so I left the other dragonfruit for them."
"Then why didn't you tell me at the start?"
"Good deeds don't need to be signed."
"Nonsense, I'm your wife. You not signing your good deeds with me, what are you up to?"
Leon grinned.
Rossweise looked at his goofy face and scolded him with a white-eyed glance, "Actually Shirley's report said I was just deliberately making things difficult for you."
"Mm I know."
"You know and you still cooperate with me?"
"Yeah, so what. The sky is wide but the pregnant woman is the greatest."
The queen's girlish heart was greatly satisfied.
Some people love you so much that even knowing you're being unreasonable and deliberately picking a fight, they still patiently go along, never getting tired.
Of course, Rossweise didn't go too far. She knew Leon well and could control the level of her tantrums.
Rossweise skewered a piece of apple with a toothpick and held it up to Leon's mouth, "Happy now? Reward for you, open up."
"Ah~"
But just as Leon was about to bite the fruit, Rossweise suddenly withdrew her hand and ate the piece herself.
She didn't swallow it all. Half of it remained between her lips.
She looked at Leon with smiling eyes, lifted her pretty chin, provocatively taunting.
"Alright, mother dragon, dare to play with me? Then I'll eat what's in your mouth."
Saying that, General Leon rolled onto the bed, easily pinning the mother dragon under him, snatching the half-piece of apple from her mouth.
"Hey, be gentle, don't press on my belly."
"Hand, hand, where are your hands going?"
"Eh you're so annoying… hmm~ that tickles, stop, ah~ hiss..."
"Don't, don't pinch the tail..."
The bed curtains fell, lips and teeth intertwined.
This story teaches us: After handing your husband an apple, don't pull it back, otherwise you might get roasted.
———
A week later, Saint-Heath Academy, Young Dragon Department graduation ceremony.
"Inside scoop, you two, Noah ranked first in the mock practical exam, but why do you two look so unhappy?"
The blue-haired beautiful woman held her hands to her chest, looked at the furtive-looking couple, glanced around, and then said, "And you're standing in the corner of the auditorium, are you avoiding someone?"
Leon and Rossweise simultaneously made a shushing gesture to Claudia.
Claudia raised an eyebrow, "Enemies?"
They shook their heads.
"People you owe money to?"
Still a shake of the head.
"Then what on earth are you hiding from—"
"Ah! Mr. Leon, Miss Rossweise, so you were here!"
A familiar voice came from behind Claudia.
The moment the voice sounded, she seemed to see the word 'despair' flash across the couple's faces.
Claudia turned back puzzled and looked at the elderly man who had spoken, "It's Vice-Principal Wilson."
"Miss Claudia is here too."
The old B-dragon elegantly adjusted his single-frame glasses, stepped forward, smoothed his suit collar, and politely shook Claudia's hand.
Then he turned his gaze toward the Leon couple in the corner.
"Mr. Leon, Mr. Leon!"
The old man went straight to Leon and grabbed his hand, ecstatic, "I heard you and Miss Rossweise were actively preparing for children recently, I didn't expect it to be true."
Leon grinned.
What's meant to come can never be avoided.
"Ah... it's true, it's true," Leon replied.
"Ah, I never imagined, you two would contribute so much to the future of the dragon race, I am extremely grateful! Truly grateful!"
The dragon race values "few but elite," or in other words "few births but quality births."
Meaning each litter isn't large, but each child is an elite among elites.
This not only ensures the purity of the bloodline but maintains the future reproductive power of the dragons. It's their foundation on the Samael continent.
So normally, a viviparous family like the Melkvei's, having two children counts as more than fulfilling the dragon race's family planning indicators.
But this unlucky couple Leon and Rossweise had four children in seven years.
In the entire dragon race—
No, across the whole Samael continent, this was an astonishingly explosive thing.
Even more explosive: the first three kids each had their own talents and were moldable dragon genius. Saying they had boundless prospects wasn't an exaggeration.
So Vice-Principal Wilson had reason to believe Melkvei's fourth would by no means be ordinary.
The first and second weren't up to it, the third came unexpectedly, so Wilson had to personally bring the fourth into Saint-Heath Academy for focused training.
Seeing the excited vice-principal, Leon broke into a sweat, but still forced a smile and said, "Just popping them out here and there, easy work, nothing to speak of."
"Eh! That's wrong, Mr. Leon, the outstanding contributions you've made to the dragon race cannot be described as 'nothing to speak of'."
'Haha, the contributions I made to your dragon race indeed cannot be described as trivial.'
'They should be described as "near extinction."'
The vice-principal held Leon's hand and lavished gratitude.
Rossweise dared not utter a word beside him, afraid the old man would redirect his enthusiasm toward her.
Claudia, standing aside, was also dumbfounded by the scene.
"So this is what CP fan moms are like, so scary."
About ten or so minutes later, the vice-principal had to leave to prepare the graduation certificates, finally letting the couple breathe a sigh of relief.
"This is indeed much scarier than enemies or debt collectors," Claudia said.
Leon wiped the cold sweat from his brow and helped his wife wipe hers, then said, "The only time we once evaded the vice-principal's pursuit was a few months ago at the start of the Young Dragon Department term."
