98 First up, the matching couple outfits!
The next morning, Roswiser finished getting ready and was all set to head to Sky City for a date.
She wore a crisp, all-white long dress, her silver hair held back with a headband, and a small braid hung down her side, the same one Leon had sneakily braided for her while she napped. Ever since, whether for daily wear or outings, it had become a signature detail for Roswiser.
Her elegant, oval face sported just a hint of makeup, adding a splash of color to her features, and the light touch only enhanced her queenly aura—graceful and poised, of course!
Leon, too, had surprisingly donned a sporty suit, looking sun-kissed and relaxed, yet still stable. After all, it was for their daughter’s essay, so they had to look top-notch!
It felt like ages since he’d worn a suit—the last time being for that family portrait.
As they both stepped out, they took a moment to size each other up, nodding in agreement as if rehearsed.
“At last, you look somewhat human!” Roswiser chuckled.
Leon rolled his eyes. “You don’t have to flatter me if you don’t want to.”
“Mom, Dad, are you ready?” Noia came sprinting in from her sister’s room, backpack bouncing.
“All set, we can head out anytime,” Roswiser replied.
Noia skidded to a stop in front of them, sizing up their outfits, then shook her head in disapproval, “No way.”
The couple blinked in surprise, exchanging incredulous looks. What do you mean… not good enough?
Roswiser, ever the patient one, asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Mom, Dad, you’re going on a date, and right now you’re dressed too formally! You look like you’re about to… go on a blind date,” Noia critiqued her parents.
The duo exchanged glances—oh boy, maybe it was a bit too stiff.
They had focused on “quality” and “seriousness,” forgetting the crucial part of a date: “relax and be yourselves!”
Dating is basically just a fun game between couples, totally different from arranged meetings.
“Well, I’ll just go change outfits with Dad,” Roswiser decided.
“No need, Mom! This morning, Anna and I picked out two perfect outfits for you at the tribe’s clothing store~ just put them on!” Noia declared.
The Silver Dragon Temple was where Roswiser, as queen, lived and worked, but the Silver Dragon Race had a sprawling community, complete with a full lifestyle supply chain, including clothing.
However, compared to Sky City, she knew every blade of grass in her tribe like the back of her hand. A date there lacked the thrill, and the effect would plummet.
Noia dropped her backpack and pulled out two outfits, handing one to Leon and the other to Roswiser.
The couple obediently accepted their director’s instruction.
Noia was offering practical feedback and had even made preparations ahead of time. That was a good thing, and they had to support her.
They retreated to their respective rooms.
Roswiser unzipped the clothing bag and found a lively, youthful hoodie that felt soft to the touch and should be comfy to wear.
It was a light gray, perfectly complementing her hair, and adorned with a cute cartoon bear on the chest.
Pretty cute, indeed, but Roswiser couldn’t help but mumble, “Wearing this… might look a bit too childish, don’t you think?”
It wasn’t that she worried such a youthful style would dent her image.
As the Silver Dragon Queen, she never relied on appearances to command obedience; it was all about strength and personal charm.
Roswiser merely thought she had never tried this style…
What if she flopped, and her daughter ended up dissatisfied?
After some internal debate, she reluctantly swapped her long dress for the hoodie.
The hem barely covered her backside, exposing a smidge of her undergarment as Roswiser scavenged through her closet to pair it with some pants and tall boots.
Honestly, this wasn’t even her usual style; she hadn’t worn pants in ages, and they felt a bit snug.
Facing the mirror, Roswiser’s cheeks flushed. “Hmm, it must be the pants that shrank, definitely not me getting fat.”
Women are highly sensitive about numbers on the scale; Roswiser, despite appearing fit, managed her figure with undeniable strictness.
Though the pants felt tight, they certainly flaunted her figure.
Roswiser was tall and stunning, transforming from graceful queen to energetic woodland girl.
She twirled in front of the mirror, satisfied with the outfit choice, “Alright, let’s go! I wonder what Noia picked out for Leon.”
Lost in thought, Roswiser opened the door and stepped out.
Her eyes landed on Leon, who was staring at her, jaw dropped.
Roswiser blinked, about to ask “What’s wrong?”, until her gaze landed on his outfit as well, and she mirrored his shock.
Their outfits… were identical!
Except hers was gray, and Leon’s was black.
“Couple shirts…”
Just as expected, their eldest daughter’s idea of a date was something their adult brains hadn’t considered.
“Yes, couple shirts~ since you two are the star couple of today’s date~ of course you have to wear matching outfits!” Noia explained her vision.
Well, she wasn’t wrong; stars should stand out!
Meanwhile, Leon silently added a new entry into his “Captive Chronicles”—dating while wearing matching outfits with a dragon.
Egad! Let’s say it again:
Leon Casmod’s life is one of glory, but also rather abstract.
“Mom looks gorgeous~ Dad looks handsome~ Wow, you guys are wearing matching clothes!”
At that moment, Moon came bouncing in, followed closely by Head Maid Anna.
Noia wore the expression of “I know everything,” explaining to her little sister, “This is called a couple shirt, meaning Mom and Dad are a loving couple~”
Emphasizing the “loving” with exaggerated emphasis.
The little dragon girl seemed to get it halfway, but that didn’t stop her from cheering, “Yay~!”
Leon facepalmed, “Good daughter, no need to elaborate; let’s get started!”
“Okay, Mom and Dad, you go ahead; Anna will take care of me and Moon after.”
Noia, all serious, assigned everyone their tasks, “During the entire date, you won’t see us, so please, just relax and be yourselves; that’ll ensure the best results, understood?”
Leon performed an exaggerated salute, the dragon-slaying youth at attention, “Yes, Director Noia!”
Ten minutes later, Roswiser had transformed into her dragon form, leading Leon to Sky City.
A few minutes later, Anna set off with the two little dragon girls; her mission today was to keep the little princesses safe.
With no internal squabbles or battles on the way to Sky City, the group made their journey without a hitch, arriving before they knew it.
Once there, Roswiser turned back into her human form—
Honestly, it was the first time she didn’t want to switch back, because in her dragon form, no one could see that she and Leon were wearing matching outfits!
Leon’s face was borderline crimson as well.
He’d never worn matching outfits with a girl before—oh wait, you needed to have a partner to wear couple outfits, and Leon had been single for the past twenty-two years!
The couple exchanged curious glances and then walked together into Sky City, ready to embark on their first adventure of…
A date!
