Chapter 195: Aurora
Leon hoped he had misunderstood.
In the dining room, Muen was already devouring Father’s offering with gusto.
To enjoy the finest offering—or rather, the finest steak—on the most beautiful morning of the day was truly a great blessing in life.
Noia sat beside her sister, reminding her in a low voice not to scatter the meat scraps outside the plate, as it would be troublesome for the maids to clean up later.
Muen nodded obediently, behaving well.
The couple also took their seats.
After a fulfilling and intense morning, it was indeed appropriate to enjoy a hearty breakfast to replenish energy.
At the dining table, Leon brought up, “Oh, by the way, Noia, Muen, while your mother and I were out these past few days, we thought of a name for your little sister.”
At this, the two young dragon girls’ eyes lit up.
Muen, holding her fork and knife, asked excitedly, “What’s her name, what’s her name?”
“Aurora,” Rosvitha said, “It’s a homonym of ‘Aurora,’ representing ‘aurora’ and ‘dawn.'”
Noia and Muen didn’t feel any dissatisfaction that their parents hadn’t ultimately chosen ‘Blaze’ or ‘Star’ for their little sister.
On the contrary, they both felt that Aurora was a very suitable name for their little sister.
“It’s such a nice name, did Dad think of it or did Mom?” Noia asked.
At the sound of this, General Leon suddenly felt wide awake.
Good daughter, Dad now unilaterally declares you as the season’s best support player!
Leon proudly puffed out his chest and said with satisfaction, “Of course, it was Dad who came up with it. When it comes to literary flair and imagery, your mom still falls short compared to me.”
The little dragon girls immediately cast admiring glances at their father, their big eyes full of admiration for Dad.
Hmm, yes, exactly that look.
Leon pursued only two types of looks throughout his life: one was the admiration of his daughters. The other was the disdain of the great mother dragon.
So now there was admiration, as for disdain…
He suppressed the corners of his mouth that couldn’t help but lift and slowly looked towards Rosvitha on the other side of the table.
There, the Silver Dragon Queen was lounging with her long legs crossed, one hand supporting her chin, the other holding a fork, leisurely eating the bacon on her plate.
Seeing Leon looking at her, the queen raised an eyebrow, then rolled her eyes speechlessly.
Ah~~
That’s the eye-roll, that’s the disdain, delightful~~
Leon withdrew his gaze with a satisfied smile, continuing to eat breakfast while silently marveling in his heart, what a fulfilling morning.
“Au…Aurora…” Muen attempted to pronounce her little sister’s name correctly.
Noia corrected from the side, “Aurora.”
Muen (..•˘_˘•..): “Au…Nora…”
Noia: “Aur, ora.”
Muen (๑•́ ₃ •̀): “AurNora.”
Noia: “Au, ror, a.”
Muen ( ˘•灬•˘ ): “Aurolalala.”
Noia took a sharp breath and reached out to pat her sister’s head, “It’s okay, Muen, just eat your food.”
Muen: TAT
“Mom and Dad, let’s give our little sister a nickname,” Noia suggested.
Muen nodded eagerly, practically raising her hands, feet, and tail to support her sister’s proposal. After all, the full name of their little sister was indeed a bit difficult for her to pronounce.
The couple exchanged a glance, naturally seeing no issue with it.
Rosvitha looked at Leon with a playful smile, “Honey, since you claim to have such literary flair, why don’t you come up with a nickname for our baby on the spot?”
“Hey, you—”
“Sure, Dad, giving a nickname must be much easier than giving a formal name, right?”
“Oh, well…”
Watching Leon’s embarrassed look as if he were being forced into a corner, Rosvitha lightly covered her mouth and chuckled.
What eloquence and artistic conception, slightly better indeed, you dummy. It’s just that the atmosphere was so perfect at that time of parting, you were inspired to come up with a good name for your little daughter. Now it’s your turn to come up with one, can’t do it, can you? No way, right?
There was silence at the dinner table, and in the end, it was Rosvitha who spoke up.
“Let’s call her ‘Little Light’ for her nickname, it also corresponds to ‘Aurora’.”
Muen had no objections, “Little Light is a good name indeed~”
Any name that she could pronounce smoothly was a good name!
Noia, of course, had no objections either.
And so, the formal name and nickname of the little daughter were both settled, and the couple felt a weight lifted off their shoulders.
After breakfast, Shirley brought the little daughter over.
After not seeing her for a few days, Little Light’s eyes seemed to sparkle even more, and her body language had become richer.
When she saw Leon and Rosvitha, she babbled in baby talk while reaching out her cute little hand towards Mom and Dad.
Her pink tail was also wagging behind her.
Rosvitha quickly took Little Light into her arms, holding her close. Feeling her mother’s embrace, Little Light felt much more secure, clutching onto Rosvitha’s hair as usual, blinking her beautiful big eyes at her mother.
In the days since her birth, Little Light’s eye color had become clearer, indicating that her development was proceeding normally. But the couple couldn’t muster much joy.
Leon looked at those pale pink pupils, furrowed his brow slightly, stroked his chin, and pondered, “It’s fine that her fur color and tail resemble hers, but why is even her eye color leaning towards your sister’s?”
Rosvitha pinched Little Light’s chubby cheeks, “It’s still alright, my sister has a pure red color, while Little Light’s is more towards pink, right Little Light? Hmm?”
Communicating unilaterally with a baby who couldn’t yet communicate normally, Leon had always thought this kind of motherly behavior was only seen in first-time mothers. Who knew even Rosvitha was like this?
So now the dragon slayer seriously doubted whether your dragon race’s inherently combative nature was simply because you didn’t have enough children.
So, in order to suppress the Silver Dragons without spending a single soldier, the solution was to quickly ask their queen for a triple birth…
Leon shook his head, dispelling the chaotic thoughts.
Just then, the Noia sisters were about to take Little Light out to play.
“Be careful and don’t fall,” Rosvitha reminded them.
“We know, Mom!”
With the daughters gone to play, the couple returned to Rosvitha’s room. Anna had been helping with ventilation and cleaning in His Majesty’s room these days, so the house was clean without any strange odors.
Rosvitha took off her shoes and walked barefoot to the wardrobe, taking out a few clothes and throwing them to Leon. “Go change in the bathroom.”
Leon caught the clothes steadily. “Okay.”
Honestly, some couples were just too strange. Clearly, they already had three children, but they still had to avoid each other when changing clothes. It’s hard to evaluate.
After Leon went to the bathroom, Rosvitha also changed into a clean set of casual clothes.
Five days without changing clothes was a bit unbearable for her, especially considering her mild cleanliness obsession. Moreover, during these five days, she had been staying in the forest outside the Empire, camping under the stars.
At night, she had to be wary of the dragon-hunting squad patrols—not because she feared confrontation with those humans, but because if she were discovered, she couldn’t continue waiting there for Leon.
Reflecting on her over two hundred years of life, who was worth her lowering herself like this? Just a captive, yet he made her value him so much; it was truly absurd.
“Hmph, Leon Casmode, when you come back this time, don’t think you can just leave so easily!”
The interaction between Rosvitha and the kids are really cute these past 2 chapters
