Shut Up Dragon! I Don't Want To Have Children With You Anymore

'Understand what? You're not allowed to understand.'

This would make Leon feel very embarrassed.

So Leon began cleaning up from top to bottom.

Especially important spots like the sofa and the bed.

Apart from being extremely messy, there were also some traces of unknown liquid on them, which absolutely had to be cleaned up; otherwise, it would also be annoying to look at.

When it came to the last step of changing the bed sheet, Leon used the hooked end of the broom to poke Rossweise's butt.

"Hey, stop pretending to sleep, get up. I need to change the sheets."

But Rossweise didn't respond at all.

Not even a groggy moan of reluctance to get up.

She just lay there quietly.

Leon's brows furrowed, and he instantly felt something was wrong.

He put down the broom, sat on the edge of the bed, and gently pushed Rossweise's shoulder.

"Rossweise? Hey, wake up, stop pretending."

Still, there was no response.

Leon's eyes shifted slightly, and he immediately reached out to check her breathing and held her wrist to feel her pulse.

Everything was normal.

'But why... Isn't she waking up?'

'Could it be related to what happened last night?'

Leon carefully recalled.

Yesterday, this female dragon, in order to return the favor in kind, used the Blood Enchantment on him.

And aside from the restriction of "can only be used once in a lifetime," after its use, it also had a significant impact on the caster's body.

The severity of the impact depended on the caster's physical condition.

Leon had been gravely injured and on the brink of death when he used it years ago, so it was reasonable that he ended up bedridden for two years.

As for Rossweise now being unconscious... could it also be an effect of the Blood Enchantment?

Leon thought this guess was probably about right.

Back in his academy days, he had learned similar concepts.

Based on the effect of a spell, one could make a reasonable prediction of its consequences depending on the caster and the target's condition.

This was the same principle Leon had used when precisely controlling his thunder magic to break down Dragonforce's potion residue.

Looking at Rossweise's sleeping face, Leon sneered,"And you said the Blood Enchantment wouldn't affect you, stupid dragon."

Leon leaned down, gently patting Rossweise's cheek,"You've... crashed, haven't you?"

He himself had crashed so many times, from sneaking away right after waking up to barely surviving a fight with a full-health dragon king while at death's door. Every single time, he had spectacularly failed.

And this time, it was finally Rossweise's turn.

Leon felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

Still, amidst the satisfaction, he didn't forget to calculate how long Rossweise might remain unconscious.

Back then, his near-death body had been out cold for a full two years after using the Blood Enchantment.

As for Rossweise, with her healthy dragon king physique...

This stupid dragon would probably be unconscious for at most a week.

"One week, huh..."

Leon got off the bed, walked slowly to the balcony, and looked out at the distant mountains and forests.

That was... in the direction of the Empire.

Without a doubt, Rossweise's unexpected coma gave Leon the perfect opportunity to escape.

If he immediately abandoned everything here and took off,

A week's time would be enough for him to reach the human frontier.

But... things weren't that simple.

Leon wasn't as reckless as he had been just over a month ago when he first woke up.

First of all, while his body had only just started recovering, last night's sparring session with Rossweise had left him with some injuries.

And after who knows how many rounds of passion with that female dragon last night, his body was now even weaker.

Running to human territory in a week was merely an ideal scenario.

From a practical standpoint, Leon likely wouldn't make it that far.

Moreover, the female dragon wouldn't be unconscious for long. If she woke up early and dragged Leon back, she would only torment him even more.

Leon couldn't risk that.

Secondly, at this point, it had been two years since he left the Empire, and he had no idea what the situation was there now.

What's more, the betrayal by a treacherous individual two years ago still puzzled him.

It was most likely tied to the Empire's power struggles.

On this matter, his mentor had warned him before.

If he rashly returned to the Empire now, there was no telling whether he'd receive a grand welcome banquet or face another living hell.

From a personal safety standpoint, staying in the Silver Dragon's sanctuary for now was the best choice. He could quietly continue recuperating.

Furthermore, he had asked Rossweise to investigate his mentor's situation before.

Although there hadn't been any news lately, Leon trusted that Rossweise had no reason to deceive him on this matter.

Lastly, and most importantly—

"Big sis, come quickly. Let's go play in the garden~"

"Luna, slow down! Don't fall!"

Below the sanctuary, the laughter of young girls echoed.

Leon lowered his gaze and looked at them.

The most important thing was... his daughters.

At this point, Leon couldn't just abandon his daughters and leave.

Little Luna would be devastated, impossible to console.

And while Noah outwardly seemed cold and deliberately distant, Leon knew his eldest daughter was warm inside. She longed for familial love but didn't dare let her guard down.

Leon didn't want to hurt them or let them down.

He loved his daughters deeply. This love, rooted in blood, would never change no matter what.

So...

Considering all these factors, Leon's best choice now was to stay.

For himself, for his daughters.

And, of course, to take revenge—

On that female dragon.

He returned to the bedroom, sat back on the edge

He stepped back into the bedroom, sat down again by the bedside, stretched out his hand, and used his finger to gently press on Rossweise's soft lips.

At this moment, Rossweise was so weak that she resembled a pet cat, able only to let Leon manipulate her.

In a daze, Leon's gaze toward Rossweise was no longer that of a false husband.

That gaze was more like a former dragon slayer watching over a dragon king waiting to be slaughtered.

"From now on, every single moment, I will stay by your side without leaving, Rossweise."

"Don't you love the idea of an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth?"

"Alright, this time, I'll satisfy you."

For a dragon slayer, a dragon is the most perfect trophy.

Born fearless, fighting till the end of the story.

Who says staying in the Silver Dragon Sanctuary isn't heroic?

———

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK—

"Coming."

Leon went to answer the door.

Outside the door were Luna and Noah.

"Mom—eh? Dad? Did you sleep in Mom's room last night?" Luna's face was full of anticipation and gossip.

Leon awkwardly smiled, scratched his head, and said, "Yes, last night Mom and I were discussing poetry, songs, and the truths of the universe until it got too late, so I stayed here to sleep."

"Then next time when Dad and Mom sleep together, can you bring Luna too?"

"Mm-hmm, of course."

"Yay! Long live Dad~"

Luna was about to leap forward to hug Leon, but Leon made a shushing gesture,

"Shh~ Mom is sick and still sleeping, don't wake her up."

The smile on Luna's face froze. "Sick? How could that happen?"

Leon opened the door wide. "Go inside and see for yourself."

The two little ones glanced at each other and quickly stepped into the room.

Upon reaching the bedroom, they saw that Mom was indeed lying stiffly on the bed.

Luna called out, "Mom," and immediately ran over.

She stood by the bedside and lightly poked Rossweise's wrist but received no response.

"How did Mom get sick?" Noah turned back to look at Leon.

Leon stood at the bedroom door, his hands in his pants pockets, calmly explaining,

"Last night, we chatted on the balcony for a long time and unknowingly fell asleep. Blowing cold wind all night caused a cold."

After a pause, Leon added, "Maybe it's a bit more serious than a cold."
