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

Originally, I wanted to buy it with money, but the shop owner enthusiastically said,"It is an honor for our humble shop to have His Highness the Prince purchase our items. We would like to offer it to you for free."

Leon said,"Good, good, good. I will put in a good word for you in front of your Majesty and have her endorse your shop."

Leon's purpose for buying the memory stone was to record some... prenatal education stories.

He held the memory stone with both hands, nervously biting his lower lip, and carefully placed it on Rossweise's belly.

After placing it, he cautiously let go and glanced at Rossweise.

'Good, she's still asleep.'

Then, Leon activated the memory stone.

There was no image in the memory stone, but gradually, Leon's voice came through.

"Once upon a time, in a distant western land, a wise and brave race was born, and they called themselves 'humans.'"

That was from a historical book Leon found in Rossweise's private library.

Of course, how could a history book written by dragons describe humans as a "wise and brave" race?

So, the content played by the memory stone had been carefully revised and polished by Leon.

"Humans are a great race, a heroic race!"

"They are resilient, they are indomitable, they always fight for a better tomorrow."

At this point, Leon paused the memory stone and said to Rossweise's belly,

"Did you hear that, baby? Humans are the number one race in the world. The glory of the dragons is all hype. Back in the day, your dad could cut them down one by one like chopping vegetables. So, you should try to be more like humans in the future, okay?"

The memory stone continued to play.

The little story segment ended, and Leon put away the memory stone, then said seriously,

"Baby, now that you understand the origin of humans, Daddy will give you something more relaxing. How about a poetry recitation? Let's recite...'The Greatness of Humans Needs No Explanation.'"

There was no other way. Although he could find memory stones for sale in the Silver Dragon Tribe, he couldn't find anyone willing to recite the greatness of humans.

Wouldn't that make them a "dragon traitor"?

So, Leon had to do it himself.

He cleared his throat, put on a serious expression, and recited with great emotion to Rossweise's belly,"Ah~ Humans, you are so great!"

"The dazzling sun rises in the east, its light awakening those resilient and brave people."

"Look! They unite and collaborate, facing difficulties together, how selfless, how devoted."

"..."

"When friends come, we offer them delicious food; when evil dragons come, we wield swords to face them."

"Every evil dragon king will be defeated by humans."

"Ah! The greatness of humans needs no explanation!"

(Third child: Stop it, Dad. Isn't this art form a bit too avant-garde for me right now?)

———

The next morning at breakfast, after finishing her meal, Luna eagerly jumped off her chair and went to the backyard training ground to wait for Leon, preparing for today's magic lesson.

Leon and Rossweise were almost done eating.

Rossweise had little appetite. She lazily propped her cheek with one hand, while the other hand held a fork, idly poking at the bread slices on her plate.

The Queen lowered her eyes and slowly said,"Last night..."

When Leon heard her say "last night," he immediately stopped what he was doing and looked at Rossweise nervously.

'Could it be that she noticed the prenatal education from last night?'

"I had a nightmare last night.",Rossweise said.

She put down her fork, looked up at Leon, and her expression didn't seem like she was planning to expose him.

It seemed she really just had a nightmare.

Leon secretly breathed a sigh of relief,"What nightmare?"

"I dreamed..."

Rossweise took a deep breath, as if even saying the content of the nightmare required courage,

"That I became a human, and even... even praised the greatness of humans... Dragon God bless, it was so terrifying."

Leon's eyes darted around, thinking that he didn't know if his prenatal education plan had any effect on the Third Child, but it seemed to have quite an effect on her.

At first, Leon was worried about his poetry recitation skills, thinking he might not have the talent for it;

But if it could give a dragon mother nightmares, then it was good poetry recitation.

If that's the case, then he should keep it up and instill more human cultural essence into the Third Child. The baby will surely love it.

(Third Child: Father, for the sake of me calling you father, please stop! You can do something cringe once, but not twice!)

But since last night's incident wasn't discovered, Leon didn't plan to comment on Rossweise's "nightmare."

The more you say, the more mistakes you make.

He lowered his head and continued to finish the remaining food.

Seeing that Leon had no intention of discussing this topic with her, Rossweise changed the subject,"What are you planning to teach Luna today?"

Leon's mind worked quickly,"Basic fire magic."

He didn't want to have another eggplant feast because he didn't teach his daughter fire magic.

Moreover, initially only teaching thunder magic was partly due to a bet with Rossweise.

But Leon wasn't really that childish.

His precious daughter had a rare dual awakening, so how could he let that go to waste?

She definitely needed to learn both.

Rossweise nodded,"Just teach her how to control the form changes of fire elements. As for dragon fire, I'll take over in a couple of days."

Dragon fire was essentially a dragon-exclusive skill. Even if other races learned the methods and techniques, it wouldn't be of much use.

"Okay,"Leon replied, putting down his fork and standing up,"I'll go find Luna."

Rossweise withdrew her gaze, looked down at the bread slices on her plate, hesitated for a moment, and tried to take a small bite.

A wave of nausea immediately surged up.

She frowned, quickly took a sip of water, and managed to suppress the feeling.

"Phew... this is really tough."

Rossweise leaned back in her chair, touching her still flat belly,"Baby, Mommy is going through a lot for you—"

She looked up at the ceiling, originally planning to say,"You should side with Mommy after you're born."

But then she thought, that's still eight months away, so it's too early.

So, she changed it to,"So, let's transfer some of this hardship to Daddy. I'm sure he won't mind."

'Hardship doesn't just disappear;'

'But it can be transferred from one person to another, right, dear captive~'

After awakening her elemental affinity, Luna's daily schedule was to learn magic with her father in the training ground in the morning, and spend the afternoon in the library consolidating some basic knowledge.

After all, talent alone isn't enough; continuous learning and improvement are necessary.

And every afternoon, after teaching Luna enough, Leon would take some time to check his own magical condition.

He quietly entered the library's restroom, locked the door behind him, and stood in front of the mirror, pulling open his shirt to reveal the silver dragon pattern on his chest.

Since discovering the real reason for his magical depletion, Leon had taken some remedial measures.

Looking at the dragon pattern on his chest, he felt the flow of magic within his body and muttered,"It seems the remedial measures are starting to show results. If I keep this up, I should be able to accumulate a decent amount of magic by the time Noah's winter break comes."

Leon's remedial measures weren't complicated.

When he was investigating the cause of his magical depletion, he discovered that something inside his body would steal his magic whenever he tried to gather it.

And this thing's accomplice, or "underling," was the dragon pattern.

The two shared the spoils, not interfering with each other.

Leon took advantage of this.

Since the magic in the dragon pattern wouldn't be stolen by that "thing," he decided to store a portion of his magic in the dragon pattern.

Simply put, the dragon pattern had become Leon's magical bank, allowing him to deposit and withdraw magic at will.

To be honest, even Rossweise might not know that the dragon pattern had this function.

It just so happened that Leon discovered it.

And the results proved that his remedial measures were quite effective.

Now, every night, Leon would spend a few hours gathering magic.

A small portion would be stored in the dragon pattern, while the rest would be reluctantly offered to that mysterious "boss."

Although this method of storing magic was slow, it was still better than having nothing left.

Actually, a few days ago, Leon was still a bit worried about his remedial measures.

If he stored magic in the dragon pattern, would it be taken away when he,"handed in his homework"?

After all, the essence of "handing in homework" was "transferring a part of one's energy into the other's body." Would the magic be transferred along with it?

If so, how much would be transferred?

If Leon painstakingly gathered magic for half a month, only to have it all transferred to Rossweise in one "homework session," that would be a huge loss.

But after confirming that Rossweise was pregnant with their Third Child and Leon started cramming "post-pregnancy knowledge," he discovered that it's not advisable to engage in marital activities during pregnancy.

This finally gave Leon a legitimate reason not to "hand in homework".

'Dragon mother, for the sake of the child, endure these eight months.'

He straightened his clothes and confidently left the restroom.

.

.

.

Time flies during study sessions. At dinner, Luna excitedly told Rossweise about what she had learned that day.

Rossweise listened patiently, a proud smile on her face.

Leon didn't disturb them, quietly finishing his meal before returning to his room.

He had been coming back early recently, not spending much time playing post-dinner games with Luna.

Because he needed to focus on storing magic, he had to temporarily set aside other matters.

After returning to his room, Leon sat cross-legged on the bed and began gathering magical energy.

As usual, most of the magic was transferred to an unknown part of his body, while a small portion was stored in the dragon pattern.

Leon regulated his breathing, not overthinking, and focused on gathering magic.

After an unknown amount of time, Leon opened his eyes and looked at the wall clock.

"Wow, it's already past 2 a.m."

He was always very focused when doing anything, and gathering magic required a lot of concentration, so he didn't realize how late it had gotten.

But Leon wasn't feeling sleepy.

He glanced at the books on pregnancy precautions on the bedside table and had an idea,

"Third Child plan, activate!"

He promised to continuously instill human cultural essence into the Third Child, so how could he stop on the second day?

Leon had secretly prepared tonight's "program," guaranteed to satisfy the Third Child.

He gathered the prenatal education props, followed the same method, climbed over the balcony, opened the balcony door, slipped into Rossweise's bedroom, and closed the door behind him.
