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

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from beside them.

"Oh, who are you worshiping? Let me join in too."

The two little dragon girls turned their heads in unison toward the direction of the voice.

They saw a familiar man kneeling there, bowing twice to the photo on the table.

Then he stood up, smiled, and said,"When I was young, your grandpa even taught me to play the suona. You know the suona, right? A mysterious musical instrument from the East, often played during memorials. Want Daddy to show you a trick or two?"

Before the two little ones could cry out in surprise, they heard the maid behind them shout,

"The princesses' filial piety moved the heavens, and the prince has resurrected."

(The sleeping dragon: What kind of racket are you all making?)

The time shifted back to this morning.

Leon found Anna.

"Good morning, Prince."

Leon held two drinks in his hands and handed one to Anna. "Good morning, Anna."

Anna took the drink with both hands but didn't drink it. Instead, she smiled and said, "Thank you, Prince. What can I do for you?"

"Oh, nothing important. Just wanted to ask if there are any fun places around the Palace? Or places Rossweise likes to go. I want to take a stroll and relax."

Anna nodded. "There are, Prince. I can arrange someone to take you."

"That's not necessary. Just list a few places for me and give me a map. I'll go by myself."

Anna thought for a moment. "No problem."

After a short while, Anna marked some locations on a map. "These are places Her Majesty the Queen usually likes to visit."

"Thanks, Anna."

"You're welcome, Prince."

Holding the map, Leon went to the back mountain of the Palace.

He had just awakened over a month ago and had been confined by Rossweise to the nursery room, so he had no chance to go out for a walk or see the world.

His activity range was limited to the nursery, the back garden, and the training ground.

This time, Rossweise finally passed out from her antics, giving him a rare opportunity to plan his revenge.

He wanted Rossweise to know that the dragons weren't the only ones capable of holding grudges.

As the saying goes, even a rabbit will bite when it's cornered.

And Leon wasn't just any rabbit—he was a cunning one who knew how to endure and set traps.

———

Following the map, Leon first arrived at a cherry blossom forest.

The terrain here was elevated, with cherry trees of various ages growing scattered yet lushly. Each tree was thick and ancient.

Leon walked around the area, stopping under a cherry blossom tree. Turning around, he gazed down at the Silver Dragon Palace below.

Standing there, Leon could take in the entire Palace at a glance—its ancient and solemn castle, spacious front and back courtyards, and various defensive measures set up around the Palace.

He could even see the route he had taken two years ago when he led his team to attack the Silver Dragon Palace.

Now, the checkpoints along that route had been significantly reinforced compared to other areas.

It seemed that dragon woman had indeed learned her lesson from the past.

Back then, Leon had spent a long time studying the Palace's weakest defenses before launching his attack.

If it hadn't been for a traitor stabbing him in the back, he might have successfully taken down that dragon woman.

"Ah, no use crying over spilled milk."

Failure was failure—nothing more to say.

But as the saying goes, every cloud has a silver lining. Leon was now contributing to the dragon-slaying cause in his own unique way.

Call it the "indirect approach."

Come on, restraining the Silver Dragon Queen without losing a single soldier? Such a feat was unprecedented in the history of both humans and dragons.

Rossweise's recent evaluation of Leon had been spot-on:

"You've already become a divine figure who gave birth to two minor heroes with a special merit class hero."

Leon shook his head, clearing his thoughts.

He leaned against the tree trunk with both hands, adjusting his position slightly to survey the Silver Dragon Palace better.

"Perfect. This angle and posture are just right."

Satisfied, he eagerly headed to the next location.

After winding through several paths, Leon arrived at a cave.

The cave showed no signs of animal habitation and was perfect for certain... activities.

However...

Leon crouched down and touched the soil.

"It's a bit hard. Might hurt her knees. And—"

"Hello!"

"Hello~ Hello~Hello~ Hello~"

The cave immediately echoed his words.

"The echo's too loud. It ruins the mood. This won't do."

He crossed the cave off the map.

The next stop was a mountain stream flowing straight down.

Leon lay down by the riverbank.

The cool water rushed beneath his head, while the open view allowed for an unobstructed view of the night sky.

"Not bad. Let's mark this one."

He drew a checkmark on the map, just like he had for the cherry blossom forest.

Leon spent the entire day exploring the terrain around the Silver Dragon Palace.

For a moment, he felt as if he had returned to his days as the leader of the dragon-slaying squad two years ago.

Every infiltration mission required meticulous planning of entry and exit routes, weighing various pros and cons.

Thanks to the solid foundation laid back then, Leon could now put his skills to good use.

"Dragon woman, this time, I'll get you."

By the time he finished his survey and descended the mountain, night had fallen.

The Silver Dragon Palace below was illuminated, appearing softer than during the day.

Leon admired the view briefly before quickly heading toward the Palace's backyard.

When he arrived, he found the area bustling with activity.

The maids were gathered together, seemingly...

Holding a bonfire party.

Excited, Leon approached, only to realize it wasn't a party.

It seemed more like a memorial service for someone.

The two small figures at the front were unmistakably his daughters.

"Is this some abstract role-playing game..."

Muttering, Leon jogged closer.

Seeing the maids crying and laughing simultaneously confused him further.

With curiosity, Leon approached and noticed his daughters saying things like, "I'll give you steak if you come back to see us."

Then, sneaking up to Noah, he saw her holding a wooden box about to toss it into the bonfire.

Thinking it best to join in without judgment, Leon said—

"Who are you worshiping? Let me join in too."

"Your grandpa taught me to play the suona. Want me to show you?"

"Princesses' filial piety moved the heavens, and the prince resurrected."

Leon turned his head with a face full of black lines, "Who's so rude? I'm clearly not dead, so where's this resurrection talk coming from?"

After saying this, he looked again at Noah and Luna.

The two little ones were full of astonishment and shock, as if...

As if they had truly seen Leon return from the dead.

Leon leaned back slightly, a sense of unease rising in his heart.

He turned his head to look at the table behind the bonfire. On the table, a photo was placed carelessly.

And the person in the photo... looked, well, quite familiar.

"Excuse me, may I ask, what exactly are you two doing?"

'My dear daughters, if you're holding a ceremony for me, isn't this approach a bit too extreme?'

"Daddy!"

Luna clutched the steak in her hands and threw herself into Leon's arms.

Naturally, Leon opened his arms and firmly caught his youngest daughter.

"Daddy! Wuuu~~ Luna thought Daddy didn't want Luna anymore."

"What nonsense are you saying? How could Daddy not want you?"

"But Luna and I searched for you many times and couldn't find you. I thought you—"

While comforting Luna, Leon explained, "Ah, I went to the back mountain for a walk today. I accidentally stayed too long, so I came back this late."

Upon hearing this, Noah's eyes welled up slightly, and a lump rose in her throat.

She instinctively clutched the wooden box in her arms tightly, lowered her head, and said nothing.

So, it turned out... she had wrongly blamed him?

Leon glanced at Noah's expression, then at the maids present at the scene.

There were too many people, making it inconvenient to have a heartfelt talk with his eldest daughter.

He decided to postpone it for later.

While stroking Luna's head, he noticed the steak in her hand.

"Luna, why are you carrying a steak outside?"

Luna, sobbing and sniffling, her shoulders trembling, cried with tears streaming down her face, "Th-this is Daddy's offering."
