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

Taking advantage of the faint moonlight, he tiptoed to the bedside of Rossweise.

However, when he wanted to test whether Rossweise had already fallen into a deep sleep, he was surprised to find that the mother dragon was actually not here.

Leon's heart wavered, and he quickly reached out to feel under the blanket.

The bedding still retained warmth, which proved that Rossweise had just left not long ago.

But the bathroom light was not on, meaning she hadn't gotten up in the night for that.

As his brain spun rapidly, Leon heard the sound of the door lock turning at the entrance of the room.

Immediately after, there were gradually approaching footsteps...

Leon's eyes widened slightly, staring intently at the bedroom door.

"Damn it."

———

Ten minutes ago, Rossweise lay in bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

It wasn't because she had anything on her mind, just a very normal case of insomnia that came with pregnancy.

When she was pregnant with Noya and Moon, she also often couldn't fall asleep before midnight.

She lay flat on the bed, staring at the ceiling, the blanket pulled up to her mouth, leaving only her nose exposed for breathing. Her hands were gently placed on her lower abdomen—an extremely "well-behaved" sleeping posture.

Her silver eyes sparkled like beautiful crystals in the night.

Dragons, once they can't sleep, are prone to letting their thoughts run wild.

Even Rossweise was no exception.

Her thoughts drifted from all sorts of embarrassing childhood memories to her current second pregnancy.

Over two hundred years of memories flashed by in just a few dozen seconds—

The queen didn't understand human culture very well, so she didn't know that humans called this phenomenon a "life flashback."

But usually, for humans, this kind of flashback only happened in great detail right before they were about to die.

After reminiscing, Rossweise closed her eyes, attempting to fall asleep.

But she felt no trace of drowsiness.

She blinked, fanned her long eyelashes, and suddenly recalled the brief conversation she had with Leon at breakfast today.

Rossweise slightly replayed their dialogue in her mind and found that they both seemed to be deliberately avoiding the topic of the third baby.

Rossweise didn't know exactly what Leon thought about it. The only time he expressed anything was on the night she confirmed her pregnancy, when he said that no matter what, he would face it together with her.

She knew Leon wouldn't lie to her.

But for some reason, Rossweise wanted to hear more from him. She wanted to know his inner feelings and thoughts about this third child.

During pregnancy, these kinds of inexplicable thoughts always popped into her mind, even without her realizing it.

But she couldn't just go up to Leon and ask him outright. That stubborn-mouthed bastard of a man definitely wouldn't easily open up to her.

"Wait a second, inner thoughts..."

Rossweise suddenly sat up in bed, muttering the words "inner thoughts" under her breath, then lifted her head to glance at the clock.

"2:25 AM..."

The queen smirked in satisfaction,"Well, well, isn't this a coincidence, dear prisoner? I just happen to want to play a little truth game with you at this very moment."

She lifted the blanket, stepped into her dragon-wing slippers, threw on a sleep robe over her nightgown, and left the room.

Rossweise carefully pushed open Leon's bedroom door.

She never allowed Leon to lock his door while sleeping—this made it convenient for her to conduct surprise "assignment checks."

At first, Leon had tried to resist, locking the door with three turns left and three turns right, sealing it tight.

But it was useless.

Because Rossweise had a master key that could open any room in the Silver Dragon Sanctuary, no matter how fancy Leon's lock was, it couldn't stop her.

Rossweise quietly closed the door behind her and tiptoed into Leon's bedroom.

It was exactly 2:30 AM.

She walked to the bedside, about to ask Leon about his thoughts on the third baby, but to her shock, that bastard of a man wasn't here.

Rossweise furrowed her brows,"Where did he go...?"

"Hoo~ hoo~~"

The curtains beside her swayed in the wind, making a soft rustling sound.

Rossweise turned her head and noticed that Leon's balcony door was open.

'Leaving the balcony door open in this season? Even if you're the strongest dragon slayer, you're definitely catching a cold by morning.'

Rossweise slowly walked over to the balcony, looked left, looked right—nothing seemed out of place.

But she also didn't see any trace of Leon.

"Running wild in the middle of the night instead of sleeping... Where did he go?"

Muttering under her breath, Rossweise's gaze fell on the balcony of her own room.

She blinked and cautiously approached.

Standing at the balcony railing, she lowered her gaze and found some footprints and scrape marks on the railing.

Examining them closely, she determined that these marks were fresh.

In an instant, the queen came to a realization. She immediately turned around and strode toward her own bedroom.

———

The hurried footsteps were definitely Rossweise's.

He must not let that mother dragon catch him appearing in her bedroom in the middle of the night.

Otherwise, she would have countless reasons to slander him—

Accuse him of having ulterior motives, claim he was plotting a coup, or say that if he wanted to discuss their "assignments," he could just ask her directly instead of sneaking around—

'Oh~'

'N!!O!!'

'I, Casmodeous, have lived a clean, upright, and honorable life! How could I let my reputation be tainted?'

'Think, think, think!'

Leon anxiously looked around, running countless scenarios through his mind.

Climb back through the balcony?

No good—Rossweise had already crossed the entryway. She would be in the bedroom in just a few seconds. There wasn't enough time, and he might even get stuck halfway and be caught red-handed.

And if that mother dragon said,"You can't move now, can you, dragon slayer?"—then he'd be absolutely doomed.

If climbing back wasn't an option, then... hiding under the bed?

No way—that would be too humiliating.

It would tarnish his reputation as a top-tier dragon slayer.

Leon's mind worked like a finely tuned AI, scanning every corner of the room, weighing the pros and cons of each hiding spot.

Finally, he chose the study.

Rossweise loved reading, but she definitely wouldn't be reading in the middle of the night, right?

Having made his decision, Leon dashed into the study in a flash.

The moment he closed the study door, Rossweise stepped into the bedroom.

She knew Leon was in this room.

But she didn't rush to expose him.

Catching a prisoner in a trap was something that needed to be done slowly—for the fun of it.

She knew that Leon was in this room.

But she was in no hurry to expose him.

Catching a prisoner in a trap—this kind of thing had to be played slowly to be fun.

However, she still needed to confirm where that guy was hiding.

Rossweise looked at the balcony, then at the underside of the bed, but she didn't find Leon.

That meant there were only two places left—the bathroom and the study.

And since the bathroom door was open, it proved that he wasn't there.

In that case, the only place left for him to hide was the study.

Rossweise knew Leon's thoughts at this very moment all too well.

He was definitely planning to wait for her to get into bed and fall asleep before sneaking away, making sure no one noticed the entire time, and then pretending nothing had happened the next morning.

And in truth, that was exactly the case.

Hiding inside the study, Leon was pressing himself tightly against the door, listening carefully to the sounds in the bedroom.

So why did Rossweise understand Leon's thoughts so well?

Because not too long ago, during the bunny girl incident, she had sneaked into Leon's room to search for those bunny girl photos, only to be caught red-handed by Leon and trapped in the bathroom.

Damn, that was truly an unforgettable day. She almost ended up resenting bathrooms because of that incident.

And now, the tables had turned—the roles of offense and defense were reversed.

Since she had once been drenched in the rain, it was only fair for her to take away Leon's umbrella now.

'Oh? Weren't you waiting for me to get into bed and fall asleep?'

'Fine, I'll sleep just for you.'

Rossweise deliberately stepped toward the bed with slightly heavier footsteps. Then, she lifted the blanket twice, making the sound of covering up, to make Leon think she had already lain down.

Immediately after, she took off her shoes and silently walked to the study door.

She quietly waited for someone inside to open the door.

Rossweise slowed her breathing. She knew that when a person was nervous, their senses became especially sharp, and right now, Leon was definitely just a door away from her.

If she suddenly slammed on the door now, she would surely give that bastard of a man a serious fright.

But just scaring him for a moment was far too cheap a price for him to pay.

Rossweise wanted to torment him slowly, just like before, and enjoy watching his helpless expression.

And so, minute by minute, time ticked by.

After about twenty minutes, Leon, hiding in the study, thought that Rossweise had probably fallen asleep.

He listened again, and after confirming there were no sounds, he gently pressed down on the doorknob.

Freedom—he was about to be free.

Open this door, walk through the hallway, return to his room, dive under his blanket, and sleep soundly—by the time he woke up the next day, it would be as if nothing had happened.

Perfect plan!

Leon bit the tip of his tongue, as if channeling all his strength into the hand pressing down on the doorknob. Even so, his movements remained slow and gentle, afraid of making even the slightest sound.

Click—

The door opened.

Leon carefully pulled the door open, ready to embrace that sweet, sweet—

"Hi, dear prisoner~ I didn't know you loved studying so much. Sneaking into my study in the middle of the night to read?"

BANG!!

Leon slammed the door shut and pressed his back firmly against it, panting heavily.

Outside the door, Rossweise remained calm and composed, a smile tugging at the corner of her lips as she spoke unhurriedly,

"Open the door."

No response.

Rossweise let out a chuckle, then cleared her throat.

"And now, a special request from Miss Melkvei for Mr. Leon. Please enjoy the song—Open the Door."

"Little Leon, be good~ Open the door~ I want to come in~~"

"Give it up, mother dragon! There's no way I'm opening this door for you!"
