Chapter 110: Mysterious Donkey-Headed Man
Claudia swung open the gate, ushering Roswiser and Rebecca inside.
As they reached Leon, Roswiser bent slightly, resting her hands on her knees, her silver hair cascading down, revealing her exquisitely pretty face to Leon’s view.
“Was it when I wore that bunny girl outfit that you last had a nosebleed?”
“…Let’s just keep that between us, no need to broadcast it.”
Fortunately, Rebecca and Claudia had already gone over to play with the Donkey, blissfully unaware of the couple’s private antics.
Roswiser pulled out a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to Leon.
Leon took it and sat up to dab at his nosebleed.
Roswiser crouched down beside him, brushing off the donkey hoof print from his face.
“Donkey, do you miss me?”
“Eeehh~” (Donkey sound, joyfully)
Leon and Roswiser turned to the source of the sound.
There stood the obstinate Donkey—just a moment ago kicking at Leon, but now happily nestled in Rebecca’s arms, its long ears flopping as it nuzzled against her slightly chubby, loli face.
Such a harmonious scene of human and donkey cohabitation was enough to make a few Dragon-Slaying Generals green with envy.
Leon secretly clenched the handkerchief, gritting his teeth. “That darn—”
Roswiser thought he was about to say, “That darn donkey, flipping sides like a politician.”
But in reality—
“Darn Rebecca, how dare she steal my donkey!”
“…”
So it turned out he was jealous over his first-love donkey buddy.
Strange, why did Roswiser find a hint of “minotaur” flavor in this pure love epic between her and Leon?
Oh no, not a minotaur.
It was a donkey-headed man.
“Don’t be too quick to hate Rebecca, there’s more to make you grind your teeth!” Roswiser reminded.
Leon tilted his head, curious. “What do you mean?”
Roswiser smirked and pointed with her attractive chin, “Just look for yourself.”
Leon looked again towards the Donkey.
There he saw Rebecca halt her “donkey-napping” activities, and the Donkey turned to snuggle into Claudia’s embrace.
The blue-haired beauty laughed lovingly, petting the Donkey’s ears while praising it,
“You’re such a good little donkey! The most understanding child in the world, never kicks anyone, right~”
“Eeehh~~”
“Alright, alright, I’ll reward you with carrots tonight.”
Leon: = =
“Ugh, tsk tsk tsk.” The Queen was half-squatting nearby, observing the scene and shaking her head while clicking her tongue.
“What’s wrong?”
“I thought I heard something shatter.”
“What… shattered?”
Roswiser propped her chin on her hands, leaning closer to Leon with false sorrow,
“Someone’s heart is probably shattered into glass shards by now~”
Before becoming a Queen, Roswiser used to read a lot of romance novels, and she still kept some classics in her study.
Back then, she didn’t quite understand why some authors would add a “third party” or “love snatcher” in a 1V1 romance story, making readers feel heart-wrenched and tormented. Why write it?
But now, she got it.
Seeing the protagonist’s ‘beloved’ snatched away right before their eyes—you could just feel that helplessness jump off the pages, transforming into real-life amusement.
Especially if the protagonist happened to be her husband, even better!
“I… I’m not heartbroken! Who’s heartbroken? This is just a minor issue, water under the bridge~”
Leon stood up, dusting off his backside. “Rebecca used to play with the Donkey for ages, and it’s only normal for it to be close to them since Claudia has been feeding it for years, mm… very normal.”
Roswiser gazed at him, her eyes glued to Leon’s face despite them discussing ‘the donkey’ for this long.
It wasn’t that her world only revolved around Leon; she simply wanted to admire that stubborn, prideful expression.
Roswiser grinned, “Are you explaining this for me… or trying to convince yourself?”
“Of course I’m convincing myself—ugh, I mean I’m just analyzing the situation!”
“Mhm mhm mhm, sure, sure.”
“Hey, Mother Dragon, based on how you sound, you don’t believe me, do you?”
Roswiser tilted her head slightly. “I do believe you.”
“You don’t believe me! It’s practically written all over your face!”
The Queen chuckled, instantly getting playful. “What if I don’t believe you?”
“Tch, my Donkey usually doesn’t act like this! It’s just that it hasn’t seen me in forever, that’s why it kicked me!”
With a quick thought, Leon figured since the Donkey was already refusing to give him any face, he’d drag Mother Dragon down with him.
“Do you believe me? Go closer, and I guarantee you’ll get a kick!”
“Really? For real?”
Of course, it was true!
Since it was a guard donkey, if a stranger came within ten meters, it would bray as a warning; if someone dared to approach further, they’d be met with a swift kick.
That’s why Leon’s Master’s farm hadn’t had a dog for ten years.
With this donkey around, they didn’t need a canine.
However, Leon didn’t give Roswiser a straight answer; instead, he said mysteriously,
“Just try it and you’ll find out.”
“Fine, I’ll give it a try.”
With that, the couple strolled over.
As they reached the Donkey, Rebecca looked at them.
“Captain, is your nosebleed stopped?”
“Yup, all good now.”
“Great!”
Just as she was about to say something else, Rebecca noticed Roswiser reaching out to pet the Donkey.
Seeing this, the crazy girl hurried to stop her. “Sister-in-law, be careful!”
Roswiser halted her hand, turning to her. “What’s wrong?”
“The Donkey doesn’t like strangers touching it, or it’ll kick you.”
“Oh I—”
“Don’t worry, if she wants to pet it, then let her try.” Leon was ready to watch the spectacle unfold.
“Is that how it works…”
“Mhm, it’s totally okay.”
“Then sister-in-law, be careful! The Donkey’s casting animation is super short, I didn’t react in time the first time!” Rebecca said earnestly.
Roswiser smiled, “Got it.”
She pulled her gaze away and stepped forward.
Before getting near the Donkey, Roswiser turned to glance back at Leon.
That guy looked like he could soar to the heavens with that grin of his, just waiting to enjoy the show.
“Hmph, idiot…”
Roswiser slowly extended her soft, fair palm towards the Donkey’s head.
Nearby, Rebecca and Leon were glued to her every move, their hearts racing with tension.
Rebecca was worried about her sister-in-law dodging the Donkey’s instant kick.
Leon was anxious just hoping the Donkey would actually pull off a move.
Little Evil Dragon, you better not let me take the hit alone today!
As a loving wife, you have an obligation to join me!
However—
Roswiser’s hand gently rested atop the Donkey’s head and she stroked its fur in the direction it grew.
The expected kick attack didn’t happen.
Instead, the Donkey stood there, docile, while Roswiser petted it.
It even leaned in to ask for ear scratches.
“Wow~ Sister-in-law! The Donkey likes you~!”
Rebecca cheered, racing over to join her in the RUA (petting) of the Donkey.
Claudia watched the scene, her smile one of pure affection.
↑
In this scene, the four of them really felt like a family!
I, I, Leon Casmod… am the outsider!
At this moment, General Leon’s heart was crumbling.
“How did it come to this… how could this happen…”
“Donkey, where’s your donkey alarm? Where’s your instant kick! Where’s your rebellious posture!”
“Sh*t!”
“Getting all cozy with a beauty now, huh?”
“You’ve just brought disgrace to our family!”
Meanwhile, Roswiser also slowly turned her head, petting the soft ears of the Donkey, and flashed Leon a triumphant smile.
That smile clearly said, “What do you think? Your white moonlight is now mine.”
It was at this moment that Roswiser truly understood the joy of being a “donkey-headed man.”
Good donkey, love donkey, more donkeys!
