A sonic boom exploded in the clouds as a silver dragon soared through the sky.
Leon sat cross legged on Rossweise's back, cradling Muen, who had started to doze off due to waking up too early.
"What kind of person is your sister?" Leon asked.
"Warm, lively, talkative, cheerful," Rossweise replied.
Leon pondered for a moment. "So basically, the complete opposite of you?"
Rossweise wanted to refute but realized that she had indeed left Leon with an impression completely opposite to that of her sister, Isha.
After some thought, Rossweise added, "But she is more cunning than me."
Leon was surprised. "There is actually a dragoness in this world more cunning than you?"
"I spent the first fifty years of my life with her, so I know her the best," Rossweise said. "So, you need to be highly vigilant around her. She will use all sorts of methods… to mess with you."
Leon chuckled, nonchalantly replying, "Besides you, I do not want to have any contact with any adult dragoness again."
As soon as the words fell, Rossweise's dragon wings trembled slightly, causing her body to jolt. Then she heard Leon muttering, "I have had enough for this lifetime."
Rossweise was not sure if he did it on purpose, but it is always safe to be a little stubborn first. "Do not talk nonsense."
Leon (innocently): "But I am speaking from the heart."
Damn cunning dragonesses, now they do not even allow speaking from the heart!
Leon glanced at his eldest daughter. "Noah, have you seen Aunt Isha before?"
Noah shook her head. "I have only seen Aunt Isha in photos in Mom's room. The last time Aunt Isha visited, I was doing physical training."
"So, you are the only one in the family who has seen your sister?" Leon asked.
"It seems so. That is why my sister is looking forward to this meeting," Rossweise said. "Alright, hold on tight, we are about to accelerate."
Another sonic boom rang out, and the silver figure disappeared into the sky.
About three hours later, Leon's family arrived at the territory of the Red Dragon Clan.
Looking down from high above, the Red Dragon Temple and the scale of the community were similar to Rossweise's Silver Dragon Clan, and the architectural style was very similar.
However, many of the silver decorations representing the Silver Dragon Clan were replaced with red here.
In the nearly identical design style, a few more features of the native clan were added, which was quite interesting.
Rossweise slowly landed in the front courtyard of the Red Dragon Temple.
Her sister Isha and several dragon maids had been waiting for a long time.
After landing, Leon, holding Muen, slid down from Rossweise's dragon wing, followed closely by Noah.
Before they could turn around, they heard Isha's voice.
"Little! Rose!! Your dragon form is still so Awesome~"
Turning around, they saw the Red Dragon Queen, who had just been elegant and dignified, hugging Rossweise's dragon head tightly.
Rossweise drooped her wings and her tail hung down helplessly. "Sister… let me change back first."
"Oh, alright, you can change," Isha said.
Rossweise folded her dragon wings, and with a flash of light, she transformed back into her human form.
"Little! Rose!"
After transforming back, Rossweise still could not escape Isha's enthusiastic hug, which was as warm as a husky's.
From Rossweise's reaction and expression, it seemed that she was already accustomed to her sister's way of greeting.
However, what slightly surprised Leon was that Rossweise was already a tall woman, standing at around five point seven feet tall, and wearing high heels could reach up to five point seventy five feet. But in her sister Isha's embrace, she seemed to be a bit shorter.
Leon glanced down at Noah, who was about the same height as his calf, hoping that the tall gene from the Melkvey family could be perfectly passed down to their daughter.
"Sis, let me introduce you to my husband and daughter. You have not formally met them yet," Rossweise said.
"Sure, sure." Isha put aside her playful demeanor, tidied her hair, and followed Rossweise to Leon and the others.
"This is my husband, Leon Cosmodeous," Rossweise said.
Leon was about to greet Isha politely, but she took the initiative to shake his hand. "Hello, brother in law, nice to finally meet you awake."
Isha glanced him up and down. "Indeed, looking at you now, you are more compatible with Little Rose."
Leon awkwardly smiled and shook hands with Isha, "Ahaha, Sister in law, you are really funny."
"What is with the 'Sister in law'? That is too formal. Just call me 'sister' like Little Rose does."
"Okay, sister in law."
"Little Rose, is your husband still not awake?"
Rossweise lightly nudged Leon's arm with her elbow.
Leon immediately changed his words, "I was just joking with you, sis."
"Interesting, Little Rose, I really appreciate your husband's personality, just as unpredictable as me," Isha remarked.
Rossweise silently covered her face. "Sis, do you even know that you are unpredictable?"
After introducing Leon, Rossweise proceeded to introduce their two little dragon daughters.
"This is our daughter, Noah, and Muen. Sister—"
"Wait! Let me guess!" Isha interrupted Rossweise's introduction, excitedly starting a guessing game about the sisters' identities.
Her gaze shifted between the two little ones, and she pointed at Muen, "This one with the cute little tufts is the older sister."
"I am the younger sister, Auntie," Muen shook the tufts on her head.
"Oh, I guessed wrong! Come here, Muen, let Auntie hug you~"
Muen was a natural social phobe, immediately letting go of Leon's hand and embracing Auntie's warm and fragrant embrace.
"Auntie, how did you know Muen's name?" Muen asked.
"When you were little, I came to visit you, and your mom told me. The younger sister is called Muen, and the older sister is called Noah," Isha explained.
Then, she turned her gaze towards Noah.
Compared to her sister, Noah was a true "social phobe." She nervously held onto Rossweise's skirt, hesitantly stepping back.
Rossweise did not force Noah to greet Isha directly. She never pressured her daughter to address various relatives; she fully respected Noah's wishes.
After some hesitation, Noah tried to peek out from behind Rossweise and approached, saying, "Hello, Auntie, I am Noah."
"Oh, little Noah, would you like Auntie to hug you too?"
Previously, Rossweise mentioned in her letter that Noah was a shy girl who was not very talkative and did not like physical contact with others. So when Isha did not directly pick her up earlier, she was just asking for her opinion. Noah nodded, "Yes."
"Great~" Isha held Muen with both hands and gently wrapped her flexible tail around Noah's waist, then handed her over to her embrace.
Leon internally jokes: Convenient, huh!
With one dragon daughter on each side, Isha was overwhelmed with happiness as she held them close.
"Wow~ It is so blissful! Little Rose, do you get to enjoy these cute little dragon daughters every day?"
"Oh, I am usually busy, so it is mostly Leon who takes care of them."
"Oh, okay, thanks, brother in law."
"No problem, it is not hard, I enjoy taking care of the kids."
Taking advantage of the situation, Leon added, "The kids are more attached to me, actually."
Rossweise raised an eyebrow at Leon, "Clearly, they are more attached to me, right?"
"Darling, you are such a joker."
"Do I look like I am joking with you?"
"Okay, okay, you are right, they are more attached to you."
"Do I need your permission?"
Isha interjected, "Wow, you two have such a great relationship."
To Isha's praise, the couple immediately stopped their banter and replied in unison, "It is just okay."
Seeing this, Isha chuckled and said nothing.
"Alright, alright, you must be tired after traveling such a long way. Come in and take a rest. Dinner is ready soon," Isha said, carrying two baby dragoness and leading Leon and Rossweise into the temple. The whole family arrived at the reception hall of the temple.
Leon and Rossweise sat side by side. Muen and Noah were still being cuddled by their aunt for the time being, and they probably would not be let go until dinner was served.
"What does Muen usually like to eat?" Isha asked.
"Fried steak! Muen likes fried steak!"
"Alright, luckily Auntie has prepared fried steak for dinner. And what about little Noah?"
"I am fine with anything, Auntie."
"Noah is so well behaved. By the way, Auntie heard that you started attending St. Heath Academy half a month ago?" Noah nodded.
"Wow, that is amazing! Just over a year old, and already going to school. How are your grades?"
Noah modestly replied, "They are okay."
Muen stopped her from being modest, "Sister is first in many subjects!"
Isha's eyes lit up, "That is fantastic, my little Noah! Just like your mother when she was young."
The keyword "your mother when she was young" was triggered. As everyone knows, whenever childhood is mentioned, it is time for a history lesson of embarrassment.
Even though Noah usually had a cool demeanor, at this moment, she perked up her ears, afraid of missing a single word her aunt would say next. So the main question now is, who will continue the topic of "how your mother looked when she was young"?
The two little ones, as if by agreement, turned to look at their father. Leon raised an eyebrow.
Alright, alright, alright, alright. What else can Dad do? Of course, I am here to spoil you guys, not because I am curious myself.
Digging deep into the dark history of this mother dragon, I am more than willing to oblige!
"So, sis, how good was she?" Leon asked.
"How good? Little Rose used to get first place so often it became routine. I remember when she moved up to the adult department, she even went on stage as a representative of outstanding students to give a speech. Oh, I still have the photos taken of her back then, let me go get them for you guys."
"Eh, sis, you do not—" Rossweise tried to stop her, but Isha had already put down the two baby dragonettes and trotted out of the reception hall.
Suddenly, Rossweise had a bad feeling about this.
"Your sister is indeed quite enthusiastic," Leon chuckled mischievously.
Rossweise glanced at him, "Do not get too smug. Once she is done with me, you are next."
Leon shrugged, "I do not have any embarrassing history in her hands. What is there to be afraid of?"
"Do not overestimate yourself, and do not underestimate my sister."
As they bantered, Isha returned.
In her arms, she still held a thick photo album, and her face was beaming with a smile.
It was evident that this was not a spontaneous decision; she clearly came prepared, dear sister!
A crack appeared on Rossweise's frosty face, "Sis… did not you say you were only going to bring the photo of me as the student representative? Why did you bring them all?"
Isha hurriedly sat back in her seat and eagerly opened the photo album. "I thought it would be too troublesome to take them out one by one, so I just bought them all.
Let me see… Let me find it, Little Rose's student speech photo… Ah, here it is!" With that, Isha handed the album to Leon. The two baby dragonettes also leaned over to join in the excitement.
On the open page of the album, indeed, was a younger looking Rossweise. Back then, her face did not look as sour as it does now (of course, that was Leon's first impression). But for the two little dragoness, their mom during her teenage years was so pretty!
She was wearing the uniform of St. Heath Academy, her silver hair tied neatly into a ponytail, radiating a sunny and cheerful aura that was completely different from the current Ice Queen.
"Wife, you were so lively when you were studying!" Rossweise turned her head away, not wanting to engage with this guy. A dog's mouth can not utter ivory!
However, apart from being younger and more youthful, Leon also noticed an interesting detail. That was the dragon horn above Rossweise's ears. She had previously mentioned not seeing her own parents, which meant she was also a viviparous dragon, only revealing her horns when she reached adulthood.
Rossweise's dragon horn was cute and petite, making people want to touch it involuntarily. Leon swallowed nervously, glancing sideways at the mother dragon beside him, staring at her ears, his intentions a bit too obvious.
Rossweise gave him a disdainful look. "Do not bring up any weird requests, thanks."
Leon clicked his tongue and withdrew his gaze. But he did not continue flipping through the other photos.
This is basic courtesy. Without the permission of the owner of the album, you can only look at the photo they handed you.
However, Isha noticed that the father and daughters trio had not seen enough, so she said, "You can flip through a few more pages. Little Rose was really, really cute when she was little." Alright, permission granted, let us flip!
There is nothing more satisfying than seeing photos of your archenemy when they were little; if there is, it is that you have not seen enough!
Leon and the two little ones eagerly flipped through the album to the very beginning, officially starting to browse, completely ignoring a certain silver dragon.
Sure enough, on the first page of the album, a silver haired young dragon was showing off her lollipop to the camera.
"Mommy was so tiny!" Muen exclaimed excitedly. "Just like Muen!"
To be fair, young Rossweise did look like a silver haired version of Noah and Muen. Although there was some adorable baby fat on her cheeks, it did not detract from the delicate features she exuded.
Leon flipped to the next page. On this page, Rossweise had grown a lot, probably around ten years old, already showing signs of a teenage girl. In the photo, she was practicing dragon fire.
Another photo on the same page showed her with a burnt hand after failing to control the dragon fire, and Isha was bandaging her wound.
"Wife, you and your sisters have such a good relationship," Leon praised superficially but teasingly.
Rossweise sneakily reached behind and quietly pinched Leon's waist.
Leon, with a thick skin, patted Rossweise's leg, indicating her to calm down. "Come on, let us keep looking."
Flipping further back, there were various life photos and records taken over time. There was the first attempt at flying, with closed eyes due to fear of heights. There was also the triumphant moment of killing a dangerous species for the first time, proudly standing on its head.
However, the next photo was a hilarious snapshot titled "This mother dragon who killed an S class dangerous species but got scared by a spider and used advanced magic for its brutal eradication."
There were many more photos of Rossweise crying, and Leon could not help but chuckle as he looked at them, even though he did not realize he was laughing.
How strange. He came with the mindset of digging into the mother dragon's embarrassing history, but why did he suddenly feel a sense of "my wife is so cute"?
Ah, whatever, as long as he enjoyed it.
The last photo in the album was taken on the day Rossweise inherited the title of "Silver Dragon Queen." Sitting on the throne, wearing a silver crown, the queen accepted the worship of her silver dragon subjects, exuding dignity and majesty.
Leon closed the album, feeling a bit reluctant to stop, just like the two little ones.
But Rossweise, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, it is over!
However, it was clear that after not seeing each other for a long time, she underestimated her sister's level of cunningness.
How could she miss the chance to express some sisterly love fiercely, now that they were reunited as a family for the first time in a long time?
These were just appetizers!
After the album session, Isha pulled out a crystal ball from behind the sofa.
"Auntie, Auntie, what is this?" Muen asked excitedly.
Leon raised his hand. "I know, this is called a Memory Stone!"
Wow, he really knew it!
"Yes, it is called a Memory Stone. Finally, we have the chance to watch it together as a family. Little Rose, you must miss it too, right?"
The three dragons and one human all looked at Rossweise.
This was the day since she became the Silver Dragon Queen that she wanted to find a hole to hide in the most. Her icy demeanor was finally breaking!
Rossweise even said with a hint of pleading, "Sis… please, for the sake of me being your real little sister, do not show what is inside."
"Sis, I also beg you, for the sake of me being your real brother in law, you must show us what is inside!" Leon could not contain his curiosity about the images inside the Memory Stone.
Isha admired her sister and brother in law's reactions. She was satisfied. Very satisfied.
"Alright, since Leon is visiting our house for the first time, let us go with his suggestion this time, and we will follow Little Rose's idea next time."
Rossweise's inner thoughts: There will not be a next time!
With that, Isha activated the Memory Stone, and a clear image appeared in the center of the reception hall. Everyone looked up, and the first scene was a silver haired young dragon sitting on the ground, crying.
A grown up Isha was squatting beside her, comforting her and saying, "Do not cry, Little Rose, do not cry. So what if the lunch was taken away by the messenger dragon? Sister will make another one for you later, do not cry, okay?"
"Later, that messenger dragon went hungry for three days and finally learned its lesson, no longer stealing her food," Isha explained beside them.
Leon leaned close to Rossweise's ear and whispered, "Then how come you do not have any psychological trauma from messenger dragons now?"
"Shh, shut up," Rossweise nudged his shoulder.
Leon chuckled, dodging away, and continued watching the images in the Memory Stone.
The next scene was by the bathroom door, with the camera slightly shaking, giving off a family video vibe. In the next moment, Isha appeared in the frame, waving and then making a "silence" gesture before sticking the Memory Stone on the bathroom door. Soon, familiar sounds could be heard from the bathroom.
"I love bathing, makes my body feel good~~ oh oh oh~~ scrubbing my tail and blowing bubbles~~ oh oh oh~~"
Leon's smile widened. "Wife, your singing voice is as melodious as a nightingale!"
"Ah! Just end it all!" Rossweise exclaimed in despair, burying her head in her arms on the table, hands covering her ears.
Click—
The sound of her heart's defense breaking, so pleasant!
"Here comes the final part, which I personally think is the most exciting," Isha announced.
Upon hearing this, Rossweise quickly lifted her head and grabbed Isha's wrist. "Sis, this part is really not okay, absolutely cannot be shown."
Isha narrowed her eyes and smiled. "Little Rose, you know me. The more you resist, the more I want to show it."
"Sis, you are my only sister, I support you," Leon said nonchalantly, looking like he was just enjoying the show.
Rossweise turned to glare at him fiercely.
The look in her eyes clearly said, "Wait until we get home, and you will see how I deal with you." But Leon remained indifferent. Carpe diem, seize the day, live in the moment!
I do not know how I will die in the future, but you are probably going to die now.
Isha activated the Memory Stone, playing the final scene, and reminded them, "Some things you need to see so you will not forget."
In the scene, she and Rossweise were sitting side by side by the river, having their first conversation about relationships.
"Little Rose, what are your criteria for choosing a partner in the future?" At the age of seventeen or eighteen, Rossweise did not quite understand the concept of love or relationships, but she had very clear standards.
She looked at the river, earnestly replying, "They should at least be academically superior to me, with many first places or championships; they must be responsible and not dislike children; and they should be powerful but not bully the weak, have their own principles of conduct, and not be influenced by the masses or external factors."
Isha's eyes flickered. "Those three points are quite challenging, especially the last one. Many people lose themselves after gaining power and authority."
Young Rossweise looked up at the Milky Way in the night sky, her tone firm with a hint of longing and determination. "Who knows? Anyway, if I were to marry, I would only marry such a person. If I never meet someone like that in my lifetime, then I will never marry."
The Silver Dragon Queen, preferring to remain single than to settle for less.
The scene ended.
Leon and the two little dragon girls were still a bit stunned. After a moment, Noah and Muen looked at their own father simultaneously.
Academically superior --- ✅️
Not bullying the weak--- ✅️
Not disliking children--- ✅️
Dang!. Turned out Leon is the Queen's chosen man.
