Leon felt he was just one step away from the final championship, but unfortunately, he fell in the quarterfinals because he was careless and underestimated his opponent.
When he closed the door, he was smiling; but just one minute later, that smile was on Rossweise's face.
What was worse, he had even taken the initiative to take off his clothes and climb onto Rossweise's bed—
He had even skipped the step where she had to undress him!
He could not have delivered himself to the tiger's den more willingly.
Back in his first class at the Dragon Slayer Academy, the teacher taught them to never let their guard down around dragons.
That advice had saved Leon countless times on the battlefield, but he never expected to fail at this crucial moment!
In fact, no matter what tricks Rossweise pulled later for his reckless behavior these past few days, Leon would not have been surprised.
But—
Was tying him to a chair a bit too much?
And leaving him half naked?
The dragon tattoo on his chest was shamelessly exposed to the air.
Rossweise sat on the table, crossing her beautiful legs. Her toes were tucked into dragon wing slippers, swinging leisurely.
In her hand, she held a "little teaching whip" from who knows where, looking at Leon playfully.
Leon's gaze moved from the whip to her face. Finally, he could not help but ask, "You are not going to torture me for a confession, are you?"
"Mother dragon, I will tell you straight, I have had professional interrogation training. I will not tell you anything about the Empire."
"If you try to force me, my answer to you will be just four words: go to hell—"
Rossweise jumped off the table and walked over. She poked Leon's face with the little teaching whip. "Shh~ Do not make a fuss."
With that, Rossweise glanced up at the clock on the wall.
Eight o'clock in the evening.
After checking the time, she began to pace back and forth in front of Leon.
It seemed like she was waiting for something, or for a specific moment.
Leon did not bother to talk to her anymore.
He did not plan to beg Rossweise for mercy with any sweet words.
He knew the temper of this mother dragon too well— there was no escaping death tonight, or any other night.
Rossweise's vengeance was like an arrow released; it could not be stopped halfway.
Around nine o'clock, someone knocked on the door.
Leon prayed it was Muwen.
Maybe then he could temporarily avoid tonight's fate!
Rossweise went to the entrance to answer the door.
"Your Majesty."
Damn it.
Just those two words shattered Leon's fantasy.
It was not an angel knocking; it was the death god.
"This is the medicine you asked me to prepare." Anna handed a brown pill to Rossweise.
Rossweise nodded. "Good, thank you."
"You are welcome, Your Majesty." Anna bowed and then turned to leave.
Rossweise returned to the bedroom. She walked up to Leon and gently held the chocolate like pill between her index finger and thumb, slowly bringing it to Leon's eyes.
"Do you remember what this is, Leon?" She leaned in close, her nose almost touching Leon's, with the pill placed between them.
Leon was too familiar with this thing. "Dragon… Dragon Strength…"
Rossweise narrowed her eyes and smiled. "Yes, this is Dragon Strength. But it is different from the one you made before."
As she spoke, Rossweise used her other hand's index finger to gently press against Leon's lips. She applied a little force, trying to open his mouth.
"The purity of this Dragon Strength is higher, and its effects are stronger. Even the Dragon King would find it hard to handle its power."
"I see you have been working tirelessly day and night these past few days. You bathed me, took care of my meals, and even slept with me. I am truly~~ touched."
"I am sure you are exhausted too, right? So, I spent a lot of money to buy this Dragon Strength, hoping to give you a boost."
"Come on, my dear husband, open your mouth. Let me feed you."
Leon's head was tilting back so far it was almost in the temple courtyard, and his whole body was leaning back, dragging the chair legs forward.
But Rossweise lifted her leg and pressed her knee against the seat between Leon's legs, pushing him back.
"What? Do not like it?" Rossweise asked, tilting her head.
"It is not good for the human body."
"That is heartbreaking to hear. I am your wife, specially preparing this for you. How could it be bad for you? Come on, be good, eat it. Nothing will happen."
Rossweise leaned close to Leon's ear, lowering her voice. "You either cooperate, or I will use other means to open your mouth."
Mother dragon, how ruthless you are!
Seeing Leon's expression, Rossweise smiled with satisfaction. "Good boy, open up."
Leon reluctantly opened his mouth. Rossweise pressed his lower lip and slowly fed him the Dragon Strength pill. Then she lifted his chin, forcing him to swallow.
The strong medicine smell rushed into his nose, making Leon cough hard.
"Oh, sorry for making you choke," Rossweise pretended to panic. She fetched a glass of water and brought it to Leon's lips for him to drink. But as the liquid went down his throat, Leon frowned. "This is not water… What is this?"
"Leon, you are so clever. This is a helper drink to speed up the medicine's absorption."
Leon felt completely defeated. He always had a clear understanding of his position. And at this moment, his identity could be summed up in two simple words: a toy. It was a role more shameful than being a captive.
Rossweise put the water aside. Then she moved her long legs and straddled Leon's lap. Her delicate scent wrapped around him, and the softness of her chest lightly pressed against his collarbone. This pleasant feeling should be a better accelerator than any damn helper drink.
She stretched out her arm, casually resting it on Leon's shoulder. She lowered her head and looked into his eyes.
Rossweise gently lifted Leon's chin, watching his trembling lips with a smile. "Can you feel it, Leon? The Dragon Strength slowly digesting and working in your stomach?"
"In one minute, you will feel very restless, eager to find something to release your frustration."
"Two minutes later, this restlessness will reach its peak, followed by an unstoppable desire."
"By the third minute, the medicine will be fully absorbed by you. You will start to talk nonsense, completely becoming my slave."
She lightly teased Leon's chin, watching his lips tremble slightly. She asked with a smile, "But I can help you, Leon. I can let you release your pain. Only the body of a Dragon King can handle the flood like desire. As long as you… beg me."
Leon bit his lower lip, answering slowly, "You are dreaming!"
"Why so unfriendly? I am just helping you. It is just a simple request. You will not have to suffer the coming torture. Is that not better?"
"I will never beg you, Mother Dragon. This is the dignity of a dragon slayer—."
"Well, then, enjoy our old friend 'Dragon Strength'." With that, Rossweise stood up and brought over a clock. She made sure Leon stared at the time on it.
"Now, the first minute is almost up. Get restless, my dear husband."
Leon clenched his fists tightly. His breathing unconsciously sped up from nervousness and worry. Sweat beads formed on his forehead and nose.
His eyes were fixed on the clock.
Tick tock— tick tock— tick tock—
With every move of the second hand, it felt like the claws of desire were getting closer to him.
One minute passed…
Leon's heart rate reached its peak, and his stomach burned with heat.
Two minutes passed…
His nerves were stretched to the limit, desperately holding back all kinds of uncomfortable physical reactions.
Three minutes—
Leon, facing death bravely, shut his eyes tight and shouted, "Rossweise, I am not afraid of you! I am the champion of self control!"
"Hahaha— You big dummy!" Rossweise hugged the clock, squatting on the floor and laughing hard. She buried her head in her arms, shaking with laughter.
Leon was stunned by her laughter.
Wait a minute.
Was he not supposed to… become a slave to desire?
Why… Why was he only sweating and had no other symptoms?
"Mother dragon… you tricked me!"
Rossweise laughed even more wildly, almost rolling on the ground. She truly lived up to her name, controlling everything between her fingers.
Rossweise managed to control her expression and tried to stop smiling. She squatted on the ground, propping her chin with one hand, looking like an innocent little girl. "Leon, are you really not going to beg me?"
"Tsk, I have said it. Even if I, Leon Cosmodeous, were to die, I would not beg you, not even once!"
Rossweise raised an eyebrow. "Really?"
"Of course it is true. How can we dragon slayers bow our heads to Dragon Kings? It is impossible, forever!"
"What if you really cannot control yourself and end up begging and coaxing me? What then?"
"Hmph, if that happens, you can make me do anything, and I will not complain. But I am telling you, that is absolutely, positively, definitely not going to happen!"
Rossweise nodded with satisfaction. "Hmm, that is what I have been waiting for. Now, let me show you this."
With that, Rossweise stood up. She took slow steps toward Leon, then bent down slightly and rested her chin on his shoulder. She stretched out her hand in front of Leon, palm up, and gathered magical energy.
The energy formed a ball. When the light faded, a crystal ball was in her hand.
"What is this…"
"A Memory Stone, a kind of magical item."
Leon swallowed nervously, feeling the warm breath on the back of his neck. "What does it do…"
"Well… before I show you what it does, I need to make some preparations. You wait here obediently, do not run around."
Leon looked at the ropes tying him to the chair.
Run? Where could he run?
Rossweise, you are really stretching it to call the great Mother Dragon a little baby— finding words when there are none.
He watched as Rossweise searched around the room. She finally went to the wardrobe and looked through the clothes one by one. Under a pile of rarely worn clothes, she found a pair of…
Black stockings.
"Huh? Why do I remember I have never worn these stockings before? How did they get opened?"
Rossweise muttered to herself, but did not pay much attention. After all, a queen's wardrobe was too big to remember every piece of clothing she had or had not worn.
She pulled the stockings in her hand, testing their stretch and see through quality.
Perfect for…
"Blindfold? Why do you need to blindfold me? And… what is that in your hand?"
"My stockings, well, more precisely, black stockings," Rossweise said. "Do not worry, they are unworn, very clean."
Leon: No, do you think I do not know whether you have worn them or not? Are not these the ones you wore when you dressed as a bunny girl the other night?!!
"Do not… Rossweise… using this thing to blindfold me is no different from killing me," Leon swallowed nervously.
In Rossweise's eyes, these stockings were unworn, but in his eyes, they had already been on her body. I do not have any weird hobbies! Get rid of this thing already!
"Tsk, why so shy, it is just stockings. Here we go~"
"Stop it!!"
But no matter how Leon shook his head, Rossweise used her tail to hold him down, so he could not move. She then wrapped one of the stockings around his eyes, one loop at a time.
For a well trained dragon slayer, blocking one sense made the other senses extremely sharp. Sometimes Leon regretted how well he had learned back then! Why?!
Rossweise's fingertips brushed his face, her breath spraying behind his ear, causing a tickle that made him restless.
"Alright, all set. Then… Memory Stone, activate!"
Leon could not see how the so called Memory Stone was activated. But the next moment, a voice full of pleading and sincerity echoed softly:
"Please… I really want to kiss you…"
Leon's heart tightened.
The first line blew him away, leaving him numb! His body was almost paralyzed halfway! And the words that followed only made Leon feel like ants were crawling all over him.
"Rossweise, I want to kiss you… please, give it to me…"
"Oh, you might not have heard it clearly, so let us listen again."
As she spoke, Rossweise replayed the sentence:
"Please… give it to me…"
"Mmm~ so wonderful~ Let us hear it again~"
"Please… Rossweise…"
After several repeats, Rossweise could clearly feel someone trembling. Whether from fear or anger, she was not sure.
Seeing the effect was almost there, Rossweise took the stockings off his eyes.
"How was it? Does that voice sound familiar?" Rossweise asked with a smile.
Leon pressed his lips together. Even though both of them knew the truth, he was still trying to act tough. "It is just that the voice sounds like mine. It does not prove that the person saying those words is me."
"Oh? Alright, let us continue."
With that, Rossweise activated the Memory Stone. The stone projected a beam of light onto a flat surface, forming a flat image.
In the image, the scene from the night of Blood Seduction started playing immediately.
Leon was leaning back on the sofa, his face full of enjoyment and pleading.
"Rossweise… please, I want to kiss you… give it to me…"
Rossweise sighed. "Well, it might just be a coincidence. Maybe this person just happens to sound and look like you. It definitely is not you, right?"
Leon was completely stunned.
Leon now realized that simple physical revenge was no longer enough for Rossweise. This dragon lady was now moving into the area of "heart revenge"!
He could not keep up with Rossweise's new methods! But he was not completely powerless either… If he could just get a chance to take the camera he used to secretly take pictures of her in the bunny outfit, Leon might be able to turn the tables.
Seeing Leon silent, Rossweise put away the Memory Stone and pretended to be confused. "Hmm, what were you saying just now?"
She leaned close to Leon's face, sticking out her tongue to lightly tease his burning earlobe.
"To be a slave, to have no complaints, and then… to be at your mercy," Leon replied.
Rossweise chuckled softly. "Well then, do not mind if I do."
Standing in front of Leon, Rossweise lifted her jade like legs and put one foot in the gap between his thighs. She raised the small whip in her hand and narrowed her eyes with a smile.
"First, let us review the lesson we just had. If you do not remember, your teacher can explain it to you again."
