Chapter 168: Looks Like Me

'But right now, I still have to think of a way, adjust my mindset a little, and say something appropriate.'

Seeing Leon's awkward expression, unable to find the right words, Rossweise showed a tired smile, planning to break the silence first.

"It's a daughter."

Leon's eyes lit up, "Oh... that's actually... pretty great."

Daughters are affectionate, daughters are wonderful, daughters are their father's little sweethearts.

Even though there were already two little sweethearts at home, no father in the world would refuse to have another one.

Leon appeared calm on the surface, but inside, he was so overjoyed that he wanted to dig Constantine out of his grave just to kill him again.

"Do you want to hold her?", Rossweise asked.

Leon panicked and hurriedly wiped the dust and bloodstains off his body.

Rossweise chuckled lightly, "It's okay. Your little daughter won't mind her father's condition, right? Come on, hold her. I—"

She tried to lift the baby and hand her to Leon, but having just given birth, her body was so weak that even sitting up was difficult. In the end, Rossweise had to give up.

"Ah... I can't sit up. You hold her yourself. You do know how to hold a baby, right?"

"I... I haven't learned."

Rossweise rolled her eyes at him coquettishly, "Idiot. I'll teach you, then."

Beside them, Luna wanted to raise her hand and say that Daddy often held her, but thinking about how her new little sister's size was probably different from hers, and seeing how eager Daddy seemed to have Mommy teach him how to hold a baby, she decided to keep quiet.

After all, she was an older sister now.

What was that saying again?

Oh right, she had to learn to assess the situation—speak when it was the right time, and when it wasn't, just quietly watch the drama unfold.

"You support the baby's neck with one hand, then use the other hand to hold her bottom. Finally, let the baby rest in the crook of your arm," Rossweise instructed.

Leon carefully followed her instructions while saying, "You sound quite experienced..."

"You think a woman who raised twins wouldn't know how to hold a baby?"

"I was complimenting you."

Leon lifted his precious daughter, positioning her in his arm as Rossweise described.

For any father with a second child, this was a very simple action.

But for Leon, this was even harder than slaying a dragon for the first time.

Seeing his cautious and nervous expression, one would know he was holding his newborn daughter.

To those who didn't know better, they might think he was holding a TNT bomb.

However, Rossweise didn't tease him. At times like these, it was important to have patience with the foolish dragonslayer.

She quietly waited for Leon to adjust to holding the baby, then asked, "Well? Isn't it pretty easy?"

Leon nodded.

The baby was very light, but in Leon's arms, she felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Her round little face was extremely cute. With her eyes half-closed, she felt the warmth of her father's embrace and gradually stopped crying.

Leon was delighted.

So it was true, just like Rossweise had said before—when Noah and Luna were little and couldn't be comforted, she would place them next to Leon. Even when he was unconscious, the girls would calm down quickly.

And now, their little baby was the same.

Leon always seemed to give people around him a sense of security.

Looking at the little girl in his arms, after a long pause, Leon spoke, "She looks like me."

The Queen: ?

"She obviously looks more like me."

"No way, you just gave birth, your brain is exhausted. Our little daughter looks like me," Leon insisted.

"You…"

'Fine, fine. I'll let you have this one, Casmodeous. Considering you did a good job defending the home, I'll let it slide this time.'

'But when we have a fourth child, I will definitely—'

'Wait!'

'What fourth child?'

'There's no third child.'

'None!'

Rossweise shrank back into the blanket, half her face hidden, leaving only a pair of beautiful eyes and a delicate little nose exposed.

"Oh right," Rossweise's voice was muffled under the blanket.

"Hmm?", Leon was completely focused on the baby. Though he responded, his gaze never left their daughter.

"How's that crazy dragon Constantine?"

"Baby, say 'da~~~ddy~~~'"

The third daughter: 'Do I look like I can talk right now? Isn't this a bit too much, Father?'

Rossweise rolled her eyes, "Leon, I'm asking you. What's the situation? Are you… are you hurt?"

Actually, she wanted to use that earlier question as a segue to ask, "Leon, are you hurt?"

Who knew this dumb man would get completely distracted by their little daughter.

'Serves you right for being a doting dad!'

"I'm not hurt. As for Constantine... just a minor fatal injury."

"Minor fatal injury..."

Rossweise repeated the words, internally amazed.

So this was Leon at his peak.

He killed a dragon king of Constantine's level, suffered no serious injuries, came home to hold his daughter, tease his wife, and comfort their second child, all with ease.

A man this monstrously strong… The only way to defeat him was probably to find a traitor to stab him in the back.

"Tsk, look at this nose, look at these ears, look at this mouth—", Leon was playing a matching game.

Rossweise blinked, "What about them?"

"No matter how I look at it, she looks like me," Leon grinned like a proud father.

Rossweise's lips pouted under the blanket, "Fine, other parts can resemble you, but not the mouth."

"Why not?"

"Because your mouth is so stubborn. What good does that do?"

"My mouth is stubborn? When was my mouth ever stubborn?"

Leon turned to their two daughters, "Noah, Luna, is Daddy stubborn?"

Noah & Luna: (￣▽￣) Yup yup!

"...Unruly kids. At least my little one listens and won't side with them."

Leon lowered his head, looking at his newborn daughter with a pampering smile, "You'll definitely be on Daddy's side in the future, right?"

Just as he said that, the baby, who had just stopped crying, suddenly wailed, "Wahhh~~"

Leon: ?

'Alright, fine. There is no place left in this house for Casmodeous.'

'A fourth child?'

'Let's have a fourth child and see.'

'Isn't this just like drawing cards? We humans are best at that.'

.

The doctors checked Rossweise's body and, after confirming that there were no subsequent adverse reactions, left behind some medicine to speed up her recovery and a few postpartum care instructions before leaving.

The two little dragon girls also stopped watching the drama and eagerly crowded to the bedside to take a look at their new little sister.

"She's so tiny, feels like she could be punched far away with one hit," Noah's tone was quite serious.

Leon knew she was trying to emphasize the baby's "small size," but this phrasing was honestly a little too... dragon-like.

"Ah, sister, don't scare little sis," Luna's gaze landed on the little baby, and she added, "One punch might not be enough, maybe two punches."

'Alright, alright, you two are just taking advantage of the fact that your little sister doesn't understand what you're saying yet.'

'If she could understand, she'd probably dig out the freshly cut umbilical cord and whip your butts with it.'

At this moment in the bedroom, Rossweise was lying on her side on the bed; Leon was sitting at the bedside, holding the little baby;

Their two daughters stood on either side of Leon.

A harmonious family of five.

Luna stood on tiptoe and gently pinched her little sister's chubby face.

Soft and squishy, with a slight baby scent.

Luna's eyes sparkled with stars, and she suddenly had an idea, "Sister, Daddy, Mommy, let's give little sis a name!"

"What name does Luna want to give little sis?", Leon asked.

He and Rossweise had thought about names for their second baby during pregnancy.

But they never found a suitable one.

Now that the baby had arrived, they still hadn't decided on a name.

But since Luna brought it up, why not take the chance to brainstorm together as a family?

Luna blinked her beautiful big eyes, touched her chin, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's call her Star~ Luna's name means the Moon, so little sis being called Star makes a lot of sense~"

Reasonable... it really did make sense.

But whether it was the word "Star" itself or some other variation, it didn't quite seem fitting for a princess's formal name.

As a nickname, it could barely work.

"Star isn't very good," Noah said.

Luna pouted, "Then what name do you suggest, sister?"

"Mm... since my name comes from the dragon clan's ancient hero 'Noah,' little sis should also have a hero-based name."

Noah thought for a moment and said, "How about... Blaze?"

Luna put on a serious face and evaluated, "That sounds like a barbarian's name, sister."

"How is it barbaric?"

"It just is! Star is way better."

"Blaze!"

"Star!"

"Blaze!"

"Staaaar~~"

The sisters simultaneously turned to look at Leon, ""Daddy""

"Ah? Ah... what is it?", Startled, Leon almost failed to hold his little daughter steady.

"Daddy, which is better? Star or Blaze?"

Leon pursed his lips. Honestly, he thought both names were just so-so.
