Chapter 169: Colour of the Tail

'Just like I thought earlier, "Star" has no special meaning, and its pronunciation is not suitable as a name.'

As for "Blaze," whether it sounds wild or not, Leon is not going to judge for now. But it doesn't sound like a girl's name at all.

However, he didn't want to discourage his two daughters' enthusiasm, so he cast a pleading look at Rossweise for help.

The queen naturally understood the thoughts of her captive. After thinking for a moment, she said to her two daughters, "Naming is a very important matter. Your father and I thought about it for a long time and still couldn't decide, so we can't be too hasty now either."

Luna sheepishly moved closer to her sister, lowered her head, fiddled with her fingers, and said softly, "We understand, Mommy."

Noah also lightly hooked Luna's little tail and pressed her cheek against hers. The harmless little sisterly quarrel from earlier was now over.

As they grew older and gained more experience, even they couldn't avoid having differences of opinion.

But that wasn't a big deal—having independent thoughts was a good thing for the daughters.

Besides, as twin sisters, they wouldn't really fight.

Leon and Rossweise had great trust in their daughters' character.

"But even though we haven't decided on a name yet, why don't you two help Mommy and Daddy by telling us—does your little sister look more like Daddy or more like Mommy?", Leon shifted the topic at the right moment.

Of course, he was bringing it back to his never-ending debate with Rossweise.

Lying in bed, Rossweise rolled her eyes speechlessly.

It was only because her body was still weak, and she didn't have the strength to argue with him.

Otherwise, on this matter, the Silver Dragon Queen would never back down.

Dragon genes are the strongest.

"The baby was just born. It's too early to tell who she looks like," Rossweise paused for a moment, then, as if she had thought of something, added, "But you can take a look at her… tail~"

Leon's body stiffened, "T-Tail…"

Seeing his reaction, Rossweise smiled in satisfaction, "Yes, her tail. Our little daughter has an extra~ adorable dragon tail~"

Leon still remembered when he first argued with Rossweise about whether Noah and Luna resembled him or her.

He had confidently listed all kinds of features on his precious daughters to prove his point.

He thought that this evidence would finally make the mother dragon admit that the daughters looked more like him.

But what happened?

Rossweise simply said, "They have tails."

And that completely shattered Leon's argument.

That was why, during Rossweise's pregnancy, Leon had been obsessively giving their unborn child prenatal education about human culture.

He had hoped that after birth, their baby would show more human traits.

But in the end, did the dragon genes conquer the high ground again...?

'NOOOO...!!'

"Daddy, hurry and show us little sister's tail~", Luna excitedly jumped twice.

Leon sighed inwardly.

'A tail is a tail.'

'But if there's a fourth child in the future, I swear I will restore the glory of humanity.'

With that thought, Leon carefully placed his daughter on the bed and then slowly unwrapped the blanket covering her.

After removing it, the father and daughters saw a tiny tail wriggling left and right beneath the baby's lower spine.

It looked like an oversized silkworm cocoon—this was the most direct comparison Leon could make as a human.

After all, he had never grown a tail before.

Luna and Noah leaned on the edge of the big bed, tiptoeing to get a better look at their little sister's tail.

Luna's starry eyes almost sparkled to the point of explosion. Her small mouth was so amazed by her little sister's tail that it formed an "O" shape.

"So cute! I want to touch it!"

She slowly reached out, extended a finger, and gently poked her little sister's tail.

Soft, obedient, and bouncy to the touch.

As Luna touched it, the little tail trembled slightly, and the baby let out a tiny whimper.

"Eh!", Luna clapped her hands in delight.

But Leon furrowed his brows while staring at his daughter's tail, "This color… it looks a little different from Noah's and Luna's?"

Noah and Luna both had silver tails, just like Rossweise.

But their little daughter's tail looked more… pinkish?

Half an hour ago, when the doctor had cleaned up the newborn and brought her to Rossweise, she had also noticed this detail. But at the time, she thought it was just the lighting.

But now it was already morning, and the baby's tail still looked pinkish?

"Let me take a look," Rossweise said.

Leon carried the baby over to Rossweise's pillow.

Looking down, indeed, the tail was pinkish.

"But this isn't pure pink…"

Rossweise gently pinched the tip of the little tail, where a few tiny red scales were visible. She murmured, "It looks more like… a diluted red."

Red?

Leon shuddered and abruptly lifted his head, as if he had suddenly realized something.

At the same time, a maid reported from outside,

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, Princess Isabelle has arrived."

———

A few hours ago, after receiving the Silver Dragon Clan's request for help via a message dragon, Isa immediately organized her guards to come to the rescue.

But as soon as she crossed the border of the Red Dragon territory, she encountered obstruction from a group of Crimson Flame Dragons.

However, the other party had no intention of engaging in a direct battle and kept maneuvering and stalling against Isa's troops the entire time.

They were like a swarm of annoying flies—not enough to bite you, but enough to drive you crazy.

Although Isa had the strength of a Dragon King, when faced with these enemies who neither fought nor retreated, she had no effective means to deal with them.

This group of Crimson Flame Dragons clung to her and the Red Dragon soldiers like stubborn glue, refusing to let go.

Time ticked away, and Isa grew increasingly anxious.

The situation was urgent. Every minute she was late, her sister would be in greater danger.

A dragon in labor, even if a Dragon King, was extremely weak.

And her two nieces were still too young to participate in battle. But even if they could, Little Rose would never let them.

As for her brother-in-law… Although he had promised to protect Little Rose, Isa had only wanted a reassuring response from him at the time.

This brother-in-law of hers, who had been in a coma for two years due to illness and was weak beyond measure, might be able to use his brain for some strategic thinking or a quiz.

But to expect him to pick up a blade and slay dragons… wouldn't that be a bit… too much?

Not to mention, if that Constantine personally stepped onto the battlefield, her brother-in-law would likely meet a swift and tragic end.

The more Isa thought about it, the more anxious she became. And the more anxious she was, the more mistakes were made, allowing the Crimson Flame Dragon troops to seize opportunities, leading to some casualties.

Isa dared not transfer too many troops from her Red Dragon Sanctuary, as she worried that this might be Constantine's encirclement tactic.

If the entire Red Dragon force was mobilized, it would be effortless for Constantine to raid her home.

Thus, both sides were entangled in a standoff for several hours, until dawn approached.

Isa realized she couldn't delay any longer.

Even if Constantine really did raid her home, she could not let anything happen to Little Rose.

However, just as Isa was about to mobilize ninety percent of her troops for a full-force breakthrough, the Crimson Flame Dragons that had been clinging to them suddenly retreated.

Without time to ponder why, Isa hurriedly led her troops at full speed toward the Silver Dragon Clan.

But as she passed the border of the Silver Dragon territory, she saw a familiar face—

Oh no...

Calling it a "face" wasn't exactly accurate.

It should be called a familiar "head."

Constantine's massive dragon head had been severed, with one of his dragon horns broken off.

It was hung at the Silver Dragon territory's border, where wind and sand gradually dulled the once-brilliant scales.

Isa could hardly believe her eyes.

The Crimson Flame Dragon King, Constantine—the ancient Dragon King once hailed as a hero by the dragon race a thousand years ago—had been beheaded just like that?

She knew Little Rose's strength. While not as formidable as an ancient Dragon King like Constantine, with the advantage of terrain and home-field defense, she should have been able to hold her ground.

But to say that she had actually cut off Constantine's head… unless Little Rose had taken ten doses of some god-tier dragon enhancement potion, that should have been impossible.

Isa questioned the border guards about who had killed Constantine.

The guard answered proudly, "It was His Highness the Prince!"

"His Highness the Prince? …My, my brother-in-law?"

Isa couldn't help but try to imagine the scene of her frail brother-in-law going one-on-one against Constantine…

This—this was something she couldn't even picture in her mind.

No, she needed to get answers quickly.

'Little Rose—just what kind of strange male dragon did she marry?'

'Today, I must get to the bottom of this—'

"Oh my, the little baby is so cute~ Come, let Auntie give you a kiss~ Muuuua~~"

What Little Rose? What brother-in-law? The great Red Dragon Queen knows nothing about that.

All she knows is that her three little nieces are so adorable they're practically bubbling over with cuteness.

The female dragons of the Melkvei family are known for their swift change of expressions.

Leon quietly moved closer to Rossweise and whispered, "Your sister came in with such an imposing aura—I thought she had discovered our secret."

Isa was very smart. She must have seen Constantine's corpse and severed head on the way here.

A few casual inquiries would reveal that Leon was the one who killed Constantine.

But according to the "background story" Rossweise had crafted for Leon, he was supposed to be from a weak dragon clan that had already disbanded.

How could someone like that possibly kill Constantine?

That would definitely raise Isa's suspicions, which was why the couple had been worried about her discovering Leon's identity as a human dragon slayer.

Rossweise stared at her sister, then leaned in to whisper back to Leon, "Before she walked in, she was definitely planning to ask how you killed Constantine. But obviously, the charm of our little daughter is far greater than that of Constantine."

Leon agreed.

"Oh my, oh my, little niece, why is your tail so similar in color to Auntie's~"

Finally, Isa noticed the little baby's tail color.

She lifted her own tail, pinched the tip, and then compared it with the baby's tail. Then, looking smug, she proudly showed this comparison to the "unlucky" couple.

"Look, the baby's tail color looks just like mine. Just a bit lighter. When she grows up a little more, it might be exactly the same as mine."

The couple simultaneously lowered their heads and covered their faces. At this moment, they were both completely speechless.

For ten whole months, they had debated over who the second child resembled more.

Leon even went so far as to learn various poetry recital techniques for this.

But who would have thought…

Who would have thought that the final result would turn out like this?
