The Unified Couple, Their Strength Is Unbreakable
As Isar said, patrolling the border is a perfect excuse for a work date.
Leon and Roswiser set off early, while Anna took charge of clan affairs during the King’s absence.
From the Silver Dragon territory to the Red Flame Dragon Race, with Roswiser’s speed, it would take about four hours.
Upon reaching the Red Flame Dragon Race’s border, Roswiser activated her invisibility magic.
“No guards at the territory border at all.”
Leon sat on Roswiser’s back, peering down, “Has it been neglected entirely?”
“Yes. After the Dragon King’s fall, the tribe he led has struggled to regain strength for years.”
Roswiser continued, “Moreover, the Red Flame Dragon Race made too many enemies before; now that Constantine is dead, everyone naturally wants to take a kick at them.”
“Wow, the Red Flame Dragon Race has it rough.”
“Feeling sympathetic? Who was it that took out their leader?”
Leon grinned, “That would be me!”
“Ugh, idiot.”
The Queen accelerated, diving deeper into the Red Flame Dragon Race territory.
By the afternoon, the duo landed in a dense forest.
Roswiser pulled out a map, a rough sketch drawn by Sherry, whom she’d previously sent out to investigate.
“We’re almost at the Red Flame Dragon Race’s stronghold, but I doubt there will be anyone there.”
Roswiser stated, “Let’s rest here in the woods first; it will be easier to move at night.”
“Hmm… but how do we find that confidant?”
Leon asked, “When you explored Morin’s memories, you only saw a blurred image, right?”
“Though the image was fuzzy, the shape was quite clear.”
Roswiser explained, “And since he’s Constantine’s confidant, after his downfall, neither internal faction struggles nor external provocations will let him stay low-key. So finding him shouldn’t be hard.”
Leon nodded thoughtfully, “Oh, I see.”
While he’s great at dragon-slaying and fighting, political struggles and party conflicts are much more Roswiser’s area of expertise.
As the couple chatted, they found a towering ancient tree with thick leaves that provided ample cover.
Roswiser took Leon to the top of the tree, where they could observe their surroundings. Any slightest movement would be detected from this perfect vantage point.
“By the way, if we actually find that guy, do you have a way to make him talk?”
Roswiser leaned back against the tree trunk, asking.
Leon sat cross-legged across from her, “Of course. While I don’t quite grasp your dragon politics, I’m really good at persuasion.”
Roswiser crossed her arms, smiling, “Really? Just so you know, the memory-piercing magic only works when there’s a huge power gap; otherwise, the interrogated will resist.”
“No worries, I’m planning a psychological war this time.”
Roswiser raised an eyebrow, intrigued, “Psychological war? Tell me more.”
Leon smiled mysteriously, “I’ll tell you at night.”
“Tch, keeping me in suspense.” Roswiser rolled her eyes but didn’t press further, lazily yawning instead.
“How about you take a nap first? You’ve flown for so long, you must be tired. I’ll wake you when it’s night.” Leon offered.
“You want me to sleep against this cold, rough tree trunk?”
While she could manage, Roswiser wasn’t that delicate.
But if there were better options available, she surely wouldn’t shortchange herself.
Seeing the mischievous smile on Roswiser’s face, Leon realized he couldn’t keep pretending anymore.
Reluctantly, General Leon stood up, walked over, and sat next to Roswiser.
Without words, the Queen didn’t hold back at all, smoothly shifting to lean on his shoulder.
Much better than a tree trunk.
Roswiser’s soft body pressed against him, a lovely scent wafting into Leon’s nostrils; it was delightful.
Only… this arm… pressed down by Roswiser, felt a bit uncomfortable.
But Leon didn’t know where else to put it.
Roswiser opened one eye, noticing Leon’s discomfort, and said softly,
“Just put your arm wherever you find comfortable.”
“Emmmm…”
The couple knew exactly how to rearrange their positions for better comfort.
And Roswiser had made her wish clear; she allowed Leon to adjust.
But Leon was a tad shy, hesitant.
Seeing him take too long to move, Roswiser sighed and straightened his arm, wrapping it around her as she rested it on her shoulder.
Then she leaned back, resuming her enjoyment of this human-shaped pillow.
With the beauty nestled against him, her soft back pressed against his arm, and just a little lean down, he could brush against her hair… this position felt slightly… too intimate?
—Thought General Leon, who had already fathered three kids with her.
Ah, forget it.
Honestly, she told me to do this; I’m just following orders!
Leon did his best to make Roswiser comfortable while he kept a vigilant watch on their surroundings.
…
As night fell, the moonlight shone clearly, aiding Leon and Roswiser.
Not far away, flickering firelight appeared around the Red Flame Dragon Race’s stronghold.
The couple squatted atop the treetops, utilizing the moonlight to gaze at the scene.
“Doesn’t look like the Red Flame Dragon Race’s doing.”
Roswiser noted, “Those are probably foreign tribes seeking revenge.”
“Then where did the remnants of the Red Flame Dragon Race go? Hiding?” Leon inquired.
Roswiser shook her head, “Hiding would mean handing over the Red Flame Dragon’s territory. Even with Constantine dead, his followers wouldn’t do that. They might be lurking in the shadows, waiting for the right moment. Without the Dragon King, conflicts and wars have no one to absorb the shock; they must tread carefully.”
“Got it~~”
They continued to observe.
After more than forty minutes, the flames increased, and footsteps and discussions grew louder.
The dragon clans seeking revenge didn’t truly aim to wipe out the Red Flame Dragon Race; otherwise, they wouldn’t have sent so few.
They were likely just looking to annoy the Red Flame Dragon Race, after all, everyone loves to kick someone when they’re down.
Seeing that regular searches yielded few results, the vengeful dragons began aimlessly attacking the Red Flame’s sanctum and buildings.
Sounds of magical explosions echoed continuously.
Before long, they heard cries of chaos and conflict.
“Finally, they’re here. Let’s go check it out; if we’re lucky, we might directly find that guy.” Roswiser said.
“Wait a second.” Leon stopped her.
“What’s up?”
“I’ll go by myself; you stay here and wait for me.”
Roswiser raised an eyebrow and smiled, “Are you that worried about me getting hurt?”
“Save the reminiscing for later, Mother Dragon; stay here obediently, alright?”
Roswiser pretended to think seriously, then responded as if it was the gravest of matters,
“I refuse.”
Leon: ?
“Have you heard the saying?” Roswiser asked playfully.
“What saying?”
“Unified couples can cut through metal like paper!”
Your teammate, Roswiser Melkway, has joined the room; please start matching!
