Chapter 61: Chapter 61: A Dragon's Bite Is No Joke
Leon gently pinched her chin, the eerie glow of dragon patterns and Rossweise's panic all reflected in his dark eyes.
"Shh~~"
"My dear Miss Rossweise Melkvei, save your energy."
"Now, it's your turn to be the prisoner of war."
At this moment, Leon finally understood Rossweise's joy.
So, this is what it feels like to see someone wanting to destroy you but being utterly helpless, while also enduring physical torment.
One word:
Amazing!
Of course, that wasn't the only satisfying part.
Rossweise's expression was so complex that no words could accurately describe it.
Anger, frustration, resistance, unwillingness—
And that trace of reluctant yearning, the shame of her body betraying her will.
At that moment, Leon understood her.
And she understood Leon.
For a brief instant, the two reached an unprecedented "mutual understanding."
As the saying goes, in relationships, one must always consider the other's perspective.
Look, wasn't Leon embodying this perfectly now?
He executed it deeply and thoroughly.
Rossweise, having just woken up, was incredibly weak. After less than 20 minutes, she was already utterly exhausted.
Yet, her fragile state, paired with her unwilling gaze, made her even more enticing.
Slowly slipping into a daze, Rossweise's vision gradually darkened.
She swallowed hard and suddenly spoke, "Leon..."
"Hm? Are you surrendering, Your Majesty?"
Rossweise let out a tired, cold snort, narrowed her eyes, and spoke in a provocative tone,
"Is that all you've got? Did you not eat?"
Leon admired the dragoness's bravery and tenacity.
Even at this moment, she still managed to keep up her defiance.
But that defiance came with a price.
Leon delivered a final strike.
With a bone-deep shiver, Rossweise's brain buzzed in an instant.
The chandelier on the ceiling flickered in her eyes as a sensation coursed through her entire body, both blissful and torturous.
She wanted to resist but couldn't help savoring this fleeting pleasure.
Her pale cheeks flushed red, her lips trembled slightly, and her heartbeat began to slow.
Then, Rossweise lost all consciousness, closing her eyes and fainting.
.
.
.
Leon, panting heavily, steadied his breathing and leaned forward, pinching her chin gently to shake it.
No response.
"Hmph, serves you right for being so stubborn."
He got out of bed, cleaned her up, dressed her, and covered her with the blanket.
Then he went to the bathroom, took a shower, and left the room.
———
About two hours later, Leon returned with Luna, holding a bowl of steaming fish soup in his hands.
Rossweise woke up again at this time.
Unimaginable—it was this man who had made her pass out earlier?
She leaned against the bedhead and turned her face away upon hearing footsteps, not wanting to see that bastard.
"Mommy~"
Little Luna called out softly.
Rossweise sighed inwardly before slowly turning her head.
She forced a tired smile. "Are you full, Luna?"
"Mhm, I'm full! Daddy even brought you fish soup, Mommy. Try it!"
"I'm not hungry."
"Tsk, how can you not eat after recovering from illness?"
Leon, with a look of deep concern, sat by the bed with the bowl of soup.
Rossweise glared at him, her eyes full of a desire to cook him into the soup.
Leon took a small spoonful of the soup, blew on it, and brought it to her lips. "Here, drink this. I made it especially for you."
"I'm not hungry," Rossweise said stubbornly.
"Don't be so stubborn. The child's here. What if she learns bad habits from you?"
Luna was always Leon's ultimate weapon.
Gritting her teeth, Rossweise glared at him before reluctantly opening her mouth slightly.
Leon carefully brought the spoon to her lips.
"Is it good, honey?"
"..."
Rossweise squeezed out two words through clenched teeth, "It's... good."
"Great! Drink more if it's good."
Another spoonful followed.
Rossweise obediently opened her mouth and drank it.
While feeding her, Leon couldn't resist adding,
"Fish soup is very nourishing. You've just recovered, so you need more to regain your strength."
Rossweise smirked coldly. "Oh, I do want to recover quickly."
"Exactly! This home wouldn't be the same without you, honey."
After finishing the bowl of soup, Leon thoughtfully wiped away the remnants at her lips.
Then, when Luna wasn't looking, Rossweise lowered her gaze, bit down on Leon's finger hard, and muttered in satisfaction, "Hmph, tastes pretty good."
Leon withdrew his hand awkwardly, hiding it in his pocket to rub it discreetly.
'Damn, a dragon's bite is no joke.'
"As long as you're happy, honey."
Leon put down the bowl and sat closer.
Rossweise panicked. "What are you doing now?"
"Oh, don't be shy after two days of sleep, honey. I'm giving you a massage to help you relax."
"I don't need a massage from you."
"Mommy, let Daddy massage you. He's been taking care of you for two days, you know!" Luna said enthusiastically.
Rossweise's lips twitched slightly. "How... exactly did he take care of me?"
"Well, he washed your face, hands, and feet, gave you massages, changed your clothes—"
"My clothes were also—"
"Hmm?" Luna tilted her head, puzzled by her mother's sudden agitation.
Rossweise forced herself to calm down. "Nothing, that's... very nice. Yes."
"So, where does it hurt, honey? Let me massage it for you."
"My whole body hurts."
"Then I'll give you a full-body massage."
Leon rolled up his sleeves eagerly.
Rossweise caved immediately. "Stop, stop, stop! My... my feet feel a bit numb. Just massage my feet."
"Got it!"
Leon moved to the foot of the bed, lifted a corner of the blanket, and began to knead her delicate foot gently.
Luna sat by the bed, recounting Leon's care over the past two days.
Rossweise feigned gratitude on the surface but inwardly vowed: 'Casmodeous, I'll kill you when I recover.'
Luna stood at the head of the bed, carefully recounting to Rosweisse all the ways Leon had patiently cared for her over the past two days.
On the surface, Rosweisse said, "Oh my, Daddy is so wonderful. Daddy is truly so gentle."
But internally: 'Casmodeous, once I recover, I'm definitely going to kill you!'
As she listened, Rosweisse suddenly felt a tickling sensation on the sole of her foot.
"Ahh—"
"Hm? What's wrong, my dear wife? Is the pressure not enough?"
Rosweisse glared at him, "Enough. It's plenty. Thank you so very much."
Leon grinned slyly, "You're welcome, my dear wife. Let's continue."
"Hey, you... uh~"
This guy had started tickling the soles of her feet.
Rosweisse endured the maddening tickle, clutching the bed sheets tightly under the blanket.
"Mommy, Mommy, there's more. Over these past few days, except for going to the back mountain, Daddy spent almost all his time with you, taking care of you. Daddy really loves Mommy so much." Luna excitedly shared.
Rosweisse knew that his so-called "spending all his time with her" wasn't really about taking care of her.
It was about ensuring she woke up to a "special surprise."
Just like what she had done to Leon back when he first woke up.
But...
"The back mountain?" Rosweisse asked while enduring the tickling sensation at the soles of her feet. "What were you doing in the back mountain?"
"Nothing much, just wandering around, bored."
This excuse, of course, Rosweisse didn't believe for a second.
This guy was definitely up to something behind her back.
"Luna," Rosweisse turned to her daughter while eyeing Leon, "go to bed. Mommy and Daddy need to have a little talk."
