The next day, Rossweise slowly opened her eyes.
Leon was not around, probably off keeping Muwen company.
She could continue to rest quietly on her own.
Sitting up and leaning against the headboard, she raised her hand and tried to gather magical energy.
Feeling the surge of magic, a faint smile appeared on Rossweise's lips. "It seems I underestimated myself after all. I did not expect to recover so quickly."
Perhaps it was related to the wild antics Leon had put her through last night.
As the saying goes, it is always darkest before the dawn, and this was especially true for the body of a Dragon King.
Rossweise slowly closed her eyes, regulating the magical energy within her body to speed up her recovery.
About half an hour later, Anna entered the room.
"Apologies for disturbing you, Your Majesty."
Anna approached respectfully. "I have come to check on Your Majesty's condition and see how you are recovering."
"Very well."
Anna sat by the bedside, holding Rossweise's left hand in her palm. In an instant, a shimmering green magical energy appeared.
After a moment, Anna released Rossweise's hand, unable to hide her joy. "Your Majesty has basically recovered. With a bit more of the soup medicine, you will be fully healed by tonight."
"For the body of a Dragon King, such minor issues are just a formality with medicine. There is no need to make it so troublesome."
Anna smiled. "As Your Majesty says. I will inform His Highness and the Princess of this good news."
"Wait a moment."
Rossweise's eyes flickered, and the unease in her stomach began to churn. "Do not tell Leon for now. I…,"
She avoided eye contact, her face turning red. "I want him to take care of me for a few more days. If you run into him, just tell him I need to lie down for another week."
Anna was taken aback, then chuckled softly, covering her mouth. "Say no more, Your Majesty, I understand."
Rossweise lowered her eyelids and nodded gently. "Mm… You can attend to other matters."
"Very well, Your Majesty. Take care and drink plenty of water."
"Mm."
After a respectful nod, Anna turned and left.
Rossweise continued to regulate her body.
Meanwhile, in the courtyard, Leon was teaching Muwen the basics of magic control.
This morning, Muwen suddenly came to him, saying she wanted to learn some simple magic.
Leon told her she was too young and it was not time for her to learn magic yet. But Muwen said her sister had already gone to school, and she did not want to be left behind, so she wanted to practice.
Oh, the benefits of having two children—you do not need to urge them; they "compete" with each other and progress together.
Hearing Muwen's words, Leon did not refuse anymore and began to teach her some simple magic operations.
Although Muwen's aptitude was not as good as Noah's, she made progress quickly.
In just a few hours, she could already channel her magical power.
They sat on a bench, sipping on the sports drinks prepared by the maids.
"Oh, by the way, Dad." Muwen slurped from her cup.
"What?"
"Are the wounds on you and Mom still itchy?"
Leon was startled. "Wounds?"
Slurp, slurp, slurp…
Muwen finished her sports drink and then looked up at Leon. "Yeah, yesterday I saw you guys lying on the bed with the window open. I was worried you would catch a cold, so I thought about covering you with a blanket.
But when I covered you up, I found lots of little red dots on your bodies, just like the bites I used to get from bugs, very itchy."
Little red dots…
Hiss…
Could this kid be talking about… strawberry marks?
Leon silently turned his head away. "Um, it is okay, not so itchy anymore."
"Heh heh~ Muwen's reasoning was right after all! I immediately guessed they were bug bites!" Her little tuft of hair shook, and her tail wagged proudly. "And it was Muwen who applied ointment for you."
Leon felt a bit speechless, but also somewhat comforted. He patted his daughter's head. "You did well, Muwen. You did well."
Muwen smiled proudly, then hopped off the bench. "Dad, let us continue practicing magic!"
"Alright."
It was not until around four or five in the afternoon that Leon returned to the room.
At dusk, golden sunlight poured in through the window, and a cool evening breeze rustled the curtains.
The silver haired beauty on the bed leaned against the headboard, eyes half closed, breathing evenly.
Her complexion was still pale, and fatigue was evident in her features.
Upon hearing footsteps, she slightly opened her eyes.
Seeing it was Leon, she closed them again.
It seemed she had resigned herself to what was going to happen next.
Leon pursed his lips, feeling somewhat hesitant.
These past few days, he had tormented Rossweise enough.
He had already retaliated in full for what had happened.
Not to mention, his own body could not withstand such repeated bombardment. As a mere human, his endurance was naturally no match for that of a dragon.
Moreover, today during the day, he had encountered Anna, who told him that Her Majesty's body would need at least another week to recover.
So… with six more days to go, Leon could afford to let this one night pass.
Well, let her rest for now, let himself rest as well.
With this in mind, Leon turned to leave.
"What, leaving?"
Leon halted his steps and turned to look at Rossweise.
"Hmph, can not handle it anymore, Dragon Slayer? Just two days and you are already backing off. I thought you were much more capable than this. Turns out, you are just like a child playing house, boring."
For a moment, Leon even felt like he was experiencing some kind of illusion.
Who was the one unable to get out of bed right now?
Was it not her?
Seeing Leon's lack of reaction, Rossweise began to push further. "I still want to witness the prowess of the Empire's strongest Dragon Slayer. In the end, it is just like playing pretend for children, dull."
Leon frowned, his tone low. "You stubborn dragon, you seem so tired, yet you still want to be spared tonight. Looks like I was too considerate. Your mouth is so tough, your body must be tough as well, right?"
Rossweise threw off the blanket, exposing her graceful figure to Leon. "Come on, let me see what you are capable of."
"You will regret this, Rossweise."
"I have never regretted anything."
Leon raised his hand, closed the bedroom door, and then locked it.
Then he walked towards the large bed, beginning to remove his clothes one by one.
Indeed, it was not necessary to indulge this mother dragon.
He climbed onto the bed, looking at the beauty beneath him, and said coldly, "Captives should obediently keep their mouths shut, Your Majesty."
Rossweise looked at Leon with a smile, not responding.
Leon reached out and pinched her chin, the dragon tattoo starting to flicker.
But just as Leon was about to proceed to the next step, something slippery and cold seemed to wrap around his waist.
Lowering his head, he saw that it was Rossweise's tail.
In the next moment, Leon suddenly realized what was happening.
But it was too late.
With a slight force from Rossweise's tail, Leon was thrown onto the bed, and she gracefully flipped over, instantly taking control.
"You, Rossweise!…"
"Shh~~"
The Silver Dragon Queen tilted her head back, calmly brushing her long hair back behind her head, then slowly lowered her head, her gaze hazy and alluring, as she softly said.
"Prisoners should obediently keep quiet, my dear, valiant dragon slayer~"
