Chapter 202: What is Kissing?

However, this did not mean that Rossweise did not love Noah and Luna. Her love for her daughters was no less than Leon's.

And now, she and Leon maintained this false family, everything appearing harmonious. Except for themselves, no one in the world could see that they were a fake couple.

Although their daughters were born into this false family, the love they felt was absolutely real.

That was enough, more than enough. This kind of life had already far exceeded Rossweise's original expectations.

It's just that… behind a beautiful lie, someone always had to bear its weight.

What Leon did not know was that during the time Rossweise was pregnant with Little Light, she often had nightmares.

In her dreams, Leon left the Silver Dragon Sanctuary, left this false family, left the daughters who loved him.

Of course, he also left Rossweise.

Whenever this dream invaded Rossweise's consciousness, she would wake up in the middle of the night in shock.

She could not remember the details and sequence of the dream, the only thing she could recall was that Leon was gone.

There were no terrifying images, no heart-wrenching screams. Just the silent departure alone was enough to make Rossweise break out in a cold sweat.

And when she turned her head to look at the person beside her pillow, her wildly beating heart would gradually calm down.

It was all just a dream.

Rossweise did not understand why she had such dreams, nor why they disturbed her so much.

She thought about it over and over and felt that she was simply too afraid that this hard-won family would collapse overnight.

Just like a few days ago, when Leon returned to the Empire, the pressure she endured was something no one could truly empathize with.

Five days and five nights, for a dragon race with a lifespan of a thousand years, was not even a speck in the ocean. Yet for Rossweise, it was the most agonizing five days she had ever lived through.

She feared that Leon would never return. She feared that three months of separation was too long. She feared that one of their meetings would be their last in this lifetime.

Even though everything had passed now, Rossweise still occasionally recalled the feelings from that time.

'To make me, the dignified Silver Dragon Queen, lose sleep and appetite… in this world, there is probably only that man.'

'Hmph—'

'A little bit annoying.'

'Fine.'

She'd be mad at him later, and she wouldn't tell him why. Let him guess on his own.

"Wa wa~", Little Light finished drinking her milkshake, waved her little hands, and grabbed onto the small braid beside Rossweise's temple.

'Such a little sweetheart. When Daddy holds you, you give him an uppercut. When Mommy holds you, you just grab Mommy's hair.'

Rossweise teased Little Light, "Little Light, grow up quickly, okay? When you grow up, your uppercut will be even stronger~"

"Oo~ Aba aba~"

"The barbecue is ready, come eat. I'll hold Little Light."

Leon walked over while untying his apron.

Rossweise stood up and handed Little Light over to Leon's arms.

Leon reached out to take his little daughter, and without hesitation, leaned in to rub his face against hers. However—

Pew!

Uppercut!

"Eh~~ ah waa ah waa~"

Leon had no idea why Little Light always loved to give him an uppercut.

He thought back—when he was teaching Little Light in the womb, he certainly hadn't taught her this move.

Rossweise covered her mouth and chuckled, "Looks like our little daughter was born incompatible with you."

"Tch, she's too young, she just wants to punch everything she sees. If you try, you'll get hit too."

"Little Light wouldn't hit me."

"Then go ahead and try."

"Fine, I'll try."

Rossweise bent down and brought her beautiful face close to Little Light.

Little Light raised her little fist, eager to try.

Leon's eyes lit up, 'Yes, yes, yes, good girl, hit her!'

"Wa wa~"

Little Light muttered baby talk and pinched Rossweise's cheek with her short fingers.

Rossweise happily rubbed against Little Light's palm, then straightened up and looked at Leon, "See? I told you, Little Light only hits you."

"Impossible. That was just a coincidence."

Leon refused to believe it and leaned toward Little Light once more.

The result, of course—

Uppercut!

"Why!!", For the first time, Master Leon found raising a daughter to be a real headache.

Rossweise patted Leon's shoulder, "Ah, don't worry, it'll be fine in the future."

"You mean Little Light will stop uppercutting me in the future?"

"No, I mean you'll just get used to it."

"...Go eat your barbecue. I don't want to talk to you."

Rossweise squinted her eyes and smiled. Just as she was about to turn and leave, she asked, "You're not eating anymore?"

"I ate a little earlier, I'm not too hungry."

"Oh, alright then."

Rossweise didn't ask any more questions and went to the grill to eat barbecue with her two daughters.

Leon, meanwhile, gently placed Little Light on the beach chair, squatted beside her, and looked at her seriously.

"My good daughter, let's try again. This time, you absolutely cannot hit Daddy, okay? You need to give Daddy a kiss, understand?"

When a doting father becomes stubborn, not even eight dragons could pull him back.

After speaking, Leon slowly leaned toward Little Light.

Little Light tilted her little head, watching her father inch closer. She whimpered and slowly reached out her tiny hand.

Leon saw this and felt secretly pleased.

This time, he could finally rub against his daughter—

Pew! — Grip

Uppercut!

"Wa wa~", Little Light clapped her little hands, looking extremely excited.

After taking his fourth punch of the day, Leon gave up.

He lay on the beach, utterly defeated.

Hearing the commotion, Noah looked over, blinked, and asked, "Why is Daddy lying down?"

Rossweise took small bites of the delicious barbecue, glanced at the tearful General Leon, and chuckled, "Probably just tired. He'll be fine after a while. Let's keep eating."

———

The evening breeze lifted the beauty's long hair, swaying freely in the night and firelight, like the Milky Way from the heavens spilling into the mortal world.

She was barefoot, walking hand in hand with the man called her "husband" on the damp sand.

The sand beneath her feet was very soft. With each step, it felt cool and refreshing, and in the shallow pits of her footprints, seawater would occasionally seep in.

From the other side came the sound of ocean waves, carrying with them a lingering, melodious song.

Holding hands was Leon's idea.

When he had just come to find Rossweise and said he wanted to take a walk on the beach holding hands, Rossweise thought, 'Is this dog of a man finally unable to hold back and about to confess?'

'You're not holding up either, oh mighty dragonslayer? Already surrendering?'

But as it turned out, the queen had still underestimated him.

Leon said he just wanted to show off their love in front of their daughters.

Because the look in Noah's eyes a few days ago had left too deep an impression on Leon, he couldn't help but take it to heart.

So he wanted to take advantage of this trip to the seaside and let Noah, the second daughter, and the youngest daughter witness just how loving their father and mother were.

After hearing Leon's thoughts, Rossweise naturally did not refuse.

The couple held hands as they strolled along the beach. A handsome man and a beautiful woman, both with outstanding temperament, attracting the side glances of many passersby.

They looked so perfect together.

Everything around them seemed like a mere backdrop to highlight their presence. The moon and stars in the night sky seemed to pale in comparison.

Anyone unaware might think a newlywed couple had come here to take honeymoon photos.

But in reality, they were merely holding hands and taking a casual walk.

Rossweise raised her hand to smooth her wind-tousled hair, "I thought it was something else, but in the end, it's really just a walk."

Leon squeezed her soft palm and shrugged, "Otherwise, what did you think it was?"

"A confession, of course," Rossweise said, "The evening breeze, the beach, the ocean, and the firelight with the stars—such a perfect setting for a confession."

"Alright then, go ahead and confess," Leon said.

The queen paused in her steps, turned to glance at the dog of a man, and asked, "What do you mean? You want me to confess to you?"

"Didn't you say it's the perfect time for a confession? And you keep pushing for it, so go ahead, I'm listening."

Rossweise playfully punched his arm with a smile, "Want this queen to confess to you? Maybe in the next life."

"Oh, I'm so touched."

Hearing this, Rossweise blinked blankly, "Touched? Touched by what?"

"I was only thinking about this lifetime, but you've already planned out our next one. That's even more touching than a confession."

Rossweise flung Leon's hand away and sent a flying kick, knocking him into the sea.

But fortunately, our General Leon had years of experience leading troops into battle, accumulating countless combat tactics.

At the very moment his body was about to fall into the sea, he swiftly grabbed the hem of Rossweise's clothes.

Splash—

Rossweise's surprised cry was drowned out by the crashing waves.

One after another, the two of them fell into the shallow waters near the shore.

When she came back to her senses, she was already lying on top of Leon.

Her chin rested on his chest, and when she lifted her gaze, the dog of a man lay in the rolling waves, looking at her with a smug smile.

Rossweise bit her lower lip, fuming, and pinched his waist hard.

Then, before he could cry out, she swiftly covered his mouth with her hand.

The entire movement was smooth and practiced—who knew how many times they had done this in bed?

Only after taking her revenge was Rossweise satisfied and stood up.

She crossed her arms over her chest, glanced at Leon, and snorted coldly, "I don't want to meet you again in the next life."

Leon stood up from the water and leaned closer, "Then what about the life after next?"

"I don't want to either."
