93 Guess What
Roswiser pulled back her gaze, “Moon, haven’t you played with Aunt Sherry in a while?”
“Mm-hmm.”
The little dragon girl tiptoed and looked at Sherry behind Roswiser, “Long time no see, Aunt Sherry!”
Sherry waved, “Long time no see, Princess.”
“Then let Aunt Sherry take you to play for a bit. Mom has some business to take care of.”
“Okay~”
Moon hopped around Roswiser and sprinted to Sherry’s side.
Sherry ruffled her little tuft of hair and then turned to Roswiser.
“You’ve worked hard during this time; you should take a break.” Roswiser said.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Saying that, Sherry bent over and scooped up Moon, “Princess, let’s go pick fruits in the garden.”
“Sounds great~”
With that, Sherry whisked Moon away.
Roswiser glanced back at the balcony, chuckling to herself, “Dog Man, I know all your weaknesses now. Get ready for some fun.”
With that, the Queen strode into the Holy Temple.
Knock, knock, knock—
Leon froze, hesitating as he approached the door.
The enemy who had been haunting him for a day and a night was just on the other side of this door.
As soon as he opened it, he would see her.
Leon pressed his lips together, pondering his opening line.
Should he act nonchalant and say good morning, or just completely skip over the fact that she had been missing for a day and a night?
In his dilemma, he heard a voice from outside,
“I know you’re standing right there. Open the door.”
Leon sighed and lifted his hand to open the door.
After returning from Flowing Cloud Valley, it had been days since he faced Roswiser this closely.
Leon examined her, and she looked… a bit tired.
Had she been flying for a long time?
But despite her slight weariness, Roswiser’s face still shone with some happiness and joy.
Was she really that happy just from going out?!
So… did the so-called Dragon Race meeting go smoothly?
Did she get what she wanted?
Or did she secretly meet someone?
As Leon’s mind wandered, Roswiser had already stepped inside, “Why are you being so slow?”
Leon shook off his thoughts and closed the door, “You weren’t home for a day and a night, and the first thing you do when you come back is knock on my door. Don’t you think I need to prepare a proper opening line?”
“So this is your big opening line?”
“No, what I actually prepared was, ‘Welcome back, Your Majesty. Thank you for remembering that a few mouths at home need to be fed.’”
Roswiser snickered, “Why do you seem so concerned that I wasn’t home yesterday? Missing me, were you?”
“Me? Why would a Dragon Slayer miss a dragon?!” Leon retorted. “If I were to miss you, it would only be to ask the monthly fee group about your whereabouts so I wouldn’t be caught off guard when you try to ambush me.”
“Hmph, well, I was going to share with you my experiences from the past couple of days. But since you’re being so defensive, it really hurt my feelings. Forget it, I don’t want to share anymore. Bye-bye.”
With that, Roswiser turned to leave.
But the next second, she stopped in her tracks.
Her dress’s sash had been gently tugged.
The force was minimal; if Roswiser wanted to leave, she could easily do so.
But if she just walked out, with someone’s stubbornness, he wouldn’t chase after her, preferring to suffer in silence, right?
Moments later, a hesitant voice came from behind, “Where did you go yesterday?”
Roswiser turned around, grinning with meaning, “Wanna know?”
He nodded.
She curled a finger, “Come a little closer, and I’ll tell you.”
Leon’s intuition and experience told him this was a trap.
But curiosity urged him forward anyway.
By the time he realized his blunder, he was already standing in front of Roswiser.
With a mischievous grin, she pinched his ear, leaned toward his face, and gently brushed her finger down his nose—
“Yep, your Master wasn’t lying; it really is a bit flat.”
Then, she slightly parted her lips and whispered,
“I’m not telling you~ You guess!”
Leon shook his head, shrugging off her hand and hurriedly taking a couple of steps back, “I knew you were trying to trick me. Forget it then.”
“You’re my captive; why should I tell you where I’m going?”
She was grinning, eager to hear his reaction to that line.
Leon realized Roswiser was enjoying his moment of panic and worry, which is why she was here flaunting her victory.
Hah, Mother Dragon, when it comes to “the truth” and “going toe-to-toe with you,” my choice is definitely—
Going toe-to-toe with you.
“But your captive is a Dragon Slayer who can tear through most of your forces without relying on magic. You’re just going to trot off without telling me anything?”
Leon met her silver gaze, “Being this careless, do you think I—”
“What would you do? Huh?”
Roswiser stepped closer, cutting off Leon’s chant.
She even deliberately puffed out her chest, forcing Leon to stumble backward again.
“Come on, what would you do?”
Ugh.
Why does such a pretty face need to put on such an intimidating air?
Such a waste of beauty!
Interrupted while casting, Leon was short on momentum and could only stammer out, “I’d just feed Moon steak three times a day.”
Roswiser giggled, “Let’s keep our quarrels from affecting our daughter.”
After a moment of thought, she added, “But you’re right; I should take some precautions. I’ll remember next time I go out—”
She elongated her tone, purposely leaving him hanging.
Leon raised an eyebrow, “Notify me?”
“Lock you up.”
“…”
Wow, that took the cake, Mother Dragon.
“Alright, I really do have business to handle secretly; it’s not dangerous.”
Honestly, going to meet an old top-tier Dragon Slayer alone is a bit risky.
But for now, Roswiser wasn’t planning to tell Leon about his Master.
Let’s play a little longer!
Anyway, her Master was currently safe, and Roswiser just wanted to take advantage of the situation and practice the “Leon Casmod Weakness List” she just got her hands on.
Come on, last time at her sister’s place, he had seen her past and witnessed her frightened reaction to a spider, exposing a side of the Queen unknown to people.
This golden history could be a weapon of mass emotional destruction during their future “couple activities.”
And Roswiser was well aware that the only way to silence Leon was to—
Revenge with the same tactic.
So about the Master, I know you’re anxious, but just hold on; let me be the anxious one first.
“Alright then.” Leon said.
“Mm-hmm.”
Roswiser nodded and didn’t say anything more.
The couple lapsed into silence.
Though she planned to use Leon’s embarrassing history against him, it couldn’t be too abrupt.
A perfect social d*ath requires brewing, foreplay, and development to reach the final climax.
Roswiser needed to patiently wait for the opportunity, allowing her little captive to step gradually into the trap she had set.
And before that opportunity arose, their state seemed to be… “confused after giving each other their first kiss, not knowing how to make eye contact.”
After a brief silence, Roswiser asked, “Have you eaten breakfast?”
“No.”
“Hmm, then I’ll go call Moon. Let’s eat breakfast soon.”
“Oh, okay.”
“I’ll let you know when it’s ready.”
Leon nodded.
Roswiser left the nursery and returned to her room to start preparing breakfast.
One must say, the Queen lives up to her title; even after flying all night home, she still had the energy to whip up breakfast.
Truly a special forces soldier among dragons.
She tied her apron, washed and chopped vegetables, lit the stove, everything in perfect order.
“Moon’s beef sandwich, and for the captive—bread and milk—and then a… salad.”
“Cucumber, tomato, onion… Let’s add some dressing. Hmm? Where’s the salad dressing?”
Roswiser rummaged through the cupboard.
“Oh, here it is.”
She reached for the bottle of salad dressing.
However, just as she was about to grab it, she caught sight of some…
Carrots nearby.
Roswiser blinked, a smile spreading across her face.
“Gotta keep it balanced, Dragon Slayer.”
