Chapter 102: You are miserable, you are in love (2-in-1) ( Part 2 )
“You’re certainly not shy, are you?”
Though Leon teased her with his words, he still carefully supported her waist to keep her from toppling over in her drunken state.
“This is the temple, you know. What if someone sees us?”
“It’s fine. No one will see.”
Rosseweisse said, “I gave everyone the night off. Tonight, the entire temple hall is just the two of us.”
Leon sighed, “So, why did you ask me to wait for you here? Don’t tell me you got so drunk that you can’t find your way back to the bedroom and need me to take you.”
“Of course not. I remember the way back to the bedroom.” Rosseweisse proudly puffed out her chest.
Leon was skeptical, “So which floor is our bedroom on in the temple?”
“Em… the third floor!” Rosseweisse held up five fingers.
“It’s the fourth floor.”
“Aah! I was going to say the fourth floor! Yes, the fourth floor!” She lowered two fingers, leaving three.
Isn’t this just outright nonsense?!
Leon slapped his hand against his face.
She’s hopeless.
He gently pressed down on Rosseweisse’s hand and sat up straight, leaning in close to her, face-to-face.
“Put the bottle down. Let’s go back to sleep.”
“No.”
“Why not? You’re already drunk.”
“It’s rare for it to be just the two of us. Going to bed so early would spoil the mood, wouldn’t it?”
Leon snorted, “What mood is there to spoil between you and me? Just go to sleep.”
“I! Won’t!”
Rosseweisse dug her heels in, wrapping her arms around Leon’s shoulders and coiling her tail around his leg.
Her warm breath brushed against Leon’s lips, carrying a faint scent of wine.
He had to admit, a slightly tipsy Rosseweisse was more alluring than usual.
Leon couldn’t resist her and had no choice but to obediently wait until she sobered up a bit before taking her back.
She sat on Leon’s lap like a duck, her soft chest pressing against his, getting very close, but intentionally keeping a certain distance.
Her red lips brushed near Leon’s mouth, neither too close nor too far. She knew well that if she kissed him now, Leon wouldn’t refuse.
But she chose to hold back, teasing him instead.
She wanted to let the fire in both of their hearts burn even stronger.
“How was my speech today?” Roseweisse asked.
“Do you want the truth?”
“Of course.”
“It was a way! Too! Cheesy!” Leon wasn’t afraid, to be honest. “I practically got goosebumps all over.”
“How was it cheesy? Didn’t you see how my people were all rooting for the two of us?”
Roseweisse said, “This just shows how our usual act has become so convincing. Everyone thinks we’re truly that loving. I simply used that to promote the revival of the live-birth plan. Hmph, fool, you don’t understand anything.”
Leon’s thoughts stirred, and he tightened his grip around Rosewwisse’s waist a little more before asking, “So, those words from your speech… were they from your heart?”
Roseweisse raised her beautiful eyebrows.
“What do you think? Of course, they weren’t from my heart.”
She leaned down, resting lightly on Leon’s shoulder, her fingers playing with his earlobe, speaking slowly, “It was all just to make everyone believe in love. Of course, I had to make it sound touching. You didn’t… take it seriously, did you?”
“Hmm, I did. Are you going to take responsibility for that?”
Hearing this, Roseweisse suddenly sat up, a hint of surprise and joy flashing across her slightly drunk face. Then, she snorted a couple of times and said, “Well, you’re out of luck. I’m not taking responsibility. I said those words just to deceive people. If you believe them, that’s your problem. It has nothing to do with me.”
“Is that so, Roseweisse?”
The hand holding her waist slowly moved down to the base of her tail, and Leon gently stroked the root of her tail with his fingertips.
Roseweisse’s body softened, but her mouth remained stubborn. “O-Of course it is! I don’t love you… not even a little.”
She lay on Leon’s chest, her fingers unconsciously gripping his clothes.
Roseweisse bit her lip as the alcohol surged through her brain, and an overwhelming sense of unwillingness suddenly rose in her heart.
In the end, she grabbed Leon’s collar and sat up abruptly, looked him in the eyes, and boldly denied her earlier words.
“I like you. Everything I said during the day was true. I’ve fallen in love. I’m done for. So what?”
Leon had long guessed that the little dragoness was being contradictory and, having had a bit of alcohol, would eventually tell the truth, so he hadn’t been in any hurry.
“What are you laughing at, huh? Laugh, laugh, laugh. I’m telling you, I’m only saying this because I’m drunk.”
“When tomorrow morning comes, and I’m sober, I won’t admit to anything!”
“Got it? Say something!”
She coquettishly pushed Leon’s shoulder.
Leon continued to smile faintly.
He sat up slowly, one hand still gently stroking her tail, while the other hand slowly caressed her smooth, tender back.
“Say a little more, Melkovy.”
“I don’t want to.”
“Didn’t you say that, since you’re drunk now, anything you say doesn’t count? You won’t admit to any of it in the morning anyway. So, if that’s the case, saying a bit more doesn’t hurt, does it?”
Soothing drunk dragons was just like coaxing a child.
It just so happened that General Leon was an expert at handling kids!
Roseweisse was indeed swayed.
She averted her eyes, her face as red as a tomato, and murmured in a voice as soft as a mosquito’s buzz.
“Then, what do you want to hear?”
“Say you want to be with me for a lifetime.”
Roseweisse pouted. “No… Ah~ don’t squeeze my tail, you bad guy…”
She made a half-hearted attempt to push Leon’s hand away, but her tail remained firmly in his grasp.
“Say it: you want to be with me for a lifetime.” Leon pressed her step by step.
The blush spread to the tips of the queen’s ears.
She pursed her lips, wanting to speak but feeling too shy to open her mouth.
Being together for a lifetime… even when drunk, it was still incredibly embarrassing to say it out loud!
This wicked man, always taking advantage of her!
