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

At Rossweise's temple, a thin braid was woven.

From an aesthetic perspective, this small braid indeed added a touch of playfulness and cuteness to Rossweise.

Leon didn't take it apart but placed it beside the pillow.

He stood up, stretched lazily.

"Time to go out for a walk and proceed to the next step of the plan."

———

Noah sat on the bench at the training ground, sweat dripping down her small nose tip and forehead; she had just finished a set of physical training.

During the break, Noah recalled the brief conversation she had with Leon yesterday.

"Mom is unconscious now. Do you have any plans?"

"No, I don't have any plans, Noah. I just want to take good care of Mom."

This question didn't come out of nowhere.

In fact, Noah had long felt something... unusual about her family.

It might not be as harmonious as it appeared.

Leon and Mom were likely hiding something from others.

And this included Noah and Luna.

What could be so secretive that even their own daughter couldn't be told?

Noah couldn't figure it out.

But she vaguely guessed that Leon might... not belong here.

He had once tried to escape, and Mom, Luna, and she had witnessed it with their own eyes.

But when Mom brought him back, Noah asked where this man was trying to escape to.

Mom avoided the question.

Since then, Leon had obediently stayed in the Palace, caring for children, teaching, and working tirelessly, never showing any sign of wanting to escape again.

But Noah knew very well that this man, full of mysteries, was extremely clever.

No one knew if he stayed willingly or was waiting for the next chance to escape.

So, his answer to Noah yesterday—

"I don't have any plans. I just want to take care of Mom."

Was it true or not? Only he knew.

When a love hides unknown factors behind it, Noah would rather stay away from it than become a tool used by someone.

That's why she always felt a barrier between her and Leon.

Leon's love, in Noah's eyes, didn't seem pure.

Noah tightly shut her eyes, shook her head, and pulled herself back from her thoughts.

She jumped off the bench, intending to do one more set of physical training before going to rest.

But as she took her first step, Luna's voice came.

"Sis! Sis!"

Luna ran over in a hurry.

Noah quickly went to meet her. "What's wrong? Don't panic, tell me slowly."

"My magic cube is broken. I wanted to find Dad to fix it, but I couldn't find him anywhere."

Noah frowned, unconsciously gripping Luna's hand tightly.

Could her suspicion...

But Noah didn't jump to conclusions and said, "Let's keep looking."

"Okay."

However, after searching everywhere, they still couldn't find Leon.

The two sisters came to Rossweise's room.

Looking at their unconscious mother lying in bed, Luna finally couldn't hold back her tears.

"Mom! Dad is missing."

Undoubtedly, Noah's suspicions and worries were correct.

Leon had indeed left.

Noah suppressed her disappointment and sadness. When her sister finished crying, she stepped forward to comfort her:

"Luna, don't cry. Some people are great, but if they don't belong here, they will leave eventually."

"But... but Mom is unconscious now, and Dad is gone. What will we do in the future?"

"It's okay. Sis will take care of you, protect you. Sis has grown up a lot and can do many things now."

She had always prided herself on being an adult. At this moment, she finally resolved to take on the duties of an adult—

Even though she didn't even have a kindergarten graduation certificate yet.

"Then... what should we do now?"

Noah's eyes shifted slightly, catching sight of a photo on the bedside table.

It was a smaller version of a family portrait they had taken earlier.

"Since he left, it means we must start a new life. Let's bid farewell to that guy properly."

Noah took Luna back to their room, then searched through a pile of photos to find a backup photo from their school enrollment shoot.

She then brought a pair of scissors and cut out Leon's part.

"Sis, what are you doing?" Luna asked.

"In the adult world, when someone leaves, their photo is placed on a stand with some flowers and a fire."

Noah explained seriously, "Then you throw everything you think is meaningful to them into the fire to say goodbye to them."

Luna sniffled, still tearful. "Luna doesn't understand."

"In short, it's for Dad's good."

"Oh, okay. Then Luna will find something meaningful to Dad."

"Mm. Oh, and remember to change into a black dress later."

"Why?" Luna asked.

"I don't know either, but adults wear black when saying goodbye."

"Okay, Luna understands."

After making arrangements, Noah packed Leon's photo, then crawled under the bed to retrieve her small wooden box.

Inside were still a black fragment, a piece of paper with her name, and a handmade magic cube.

She reminisced for a moment, holding the wooden box, and walked out of the room.

About an hour later, in the Palace's backyard, the two dragon girls wore black dresses.

Luna carried a plate of grilled steak—

Since Dad seemed to like grilled steak, she planned to throw it into the fire later.

Noah held her small wooden box.

In addition, they had gathered some maids from the Palace.

The maids were confused by the two princesses' orders.

"What... what's going on?"

"Don't know. Maybe the princesses are playing some kind of game?"

"A game? It looks pretty formal and serious, though. They even took down the Prince's photo."

"Well, kids' thoughts. We can't understand. Let's just follow orders."

"True."

"..."

"Quiet!"

Noah straightened her little face, pretending to be serious. "We are now holding a farewell ceremony for Leon Casmodeous. Please treat it seriously."

The maids stood upright, trying their best to cooperate with the princess.

"Looking back at Leon Casmodeous's life, it was a short life, an exciting life. His departure is undoubtedly a heavy blow to us."

The maids' eyes twitched slightly. "What kind of game is this? It looks like... a funeral?"

"If the Prince isn't saying anything, we better not ask questions."

"But by this game's logic, shouldn't the Prince be... gone?"

"Shh! Quiet!"

"Oh."

Noah imitated the adults' tone. After finishing her speech, she placed Leon's photo on the table behind her—

Interestingly, she didn't find a photo stand but used an empty can as a substitute.

Of course, that was Luna's idea.

"Alright, you can start crying now," Noah said.

"Cry... cry?"

"Yes, don't people cry during farewells?"

As soon as she spoke, Luna's voice came,

"Dad! Why did you leave us? Dad, I miss you so much. Luna even made grilled steak for you. Please come back and see Luna~"

Luna cried her heart out, completely immersed in the act.

Noah turned her head, pointing at Luna. "See, like my sister."

Although the maids didn't fully understand why the princess was playing such an unlucky game...

Still, as said: if the Prince didn't complain, they just had to obey.

"Ah... uh, Prince, don't leave us. Your daughters are so adorable. Can you bear it?"

"Prince, we all miss you~"

"..."

The maids started cooperating.

Noah also turned, looking at the bonfire in front of her.

"Luna, did you throw the grilled steak into the fire?"

Luna nodded.

"But why do you still have a piece in your hand?"

"Well..."

"Maybe Dad won't mind, right?"

Noah kept a serious face. "Maybe."

Saying this, she looked down at the wooden box in her hands.

This was her last connection with that man.

Burning it would sever all ties with him.

Noah took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, as if finally making a resolute decision.

Goodbye forever, Father—
