Chapter 8: Children shouldn’t watch
The evening breeze tousled the long hair of the beauty, swaying freely amidst the night and the flickering firelight, as if the Milky Way had descended to earth.
She walked barefoot with the man referred to as her “husband” on the damp sand, hand in hand.
The sand beneath their feet was soft; each step sunk in, cool and refreshing, occasionally mingling with the seeping seawater in the shallow imprints of their footsteps.
The sound of the waves came from the other side, accompanied by a melodious, continuous singing.
Holding hands was Leon’s suggestion.
When he had just come to Rosvitha and proposed taking a stroll on the beach hand in hand, Rosvitha thought, “Is this dog of a man unable to resist confessing his love already? You can’t do this, dragon slayer; are you surrendering?”
But as it turned out, the queen had underestimated him.
Leon said he just wanted to show affection in front of his daughters.
Because a few days ago, the look in Noia’s eyes had left too deep an impression on Leon, and he had to take this matter to heart.
So he thought that during this trip to the seaside, he would let Noia and his second and youngest daughters see how affectionate their parents were.
After hearing Leon’s thoughts, Rosvitha naturally didn’t refuse.
The couple walked hand in hand along the beach, with their outstanding looks and charm, drawing the attention of many passersby.
When they stood together, they exuded an irresistible aura.
Everything around them seemed to highlight their presence, with the moon and stars in the night sky paling in comparison.
Those who didn’t know might have thought they were a newlywed couple here to take wedding photos.
But in reality, they were just casually walking hand in hand for a few steps.
Rosvitha raised her hand to tidy up the tousled strands of hair blown by the wind. “What did I think I was? Turns out it really was just a walk.”
Leon pinched her soft hand and shrugged. “What else did you think it was?”
“A confession,” Rosvitha said.
“The evening breeze, the beach, the ocean, along with the firelight and the stars, it’s perfect for a confession.”
“Alright then, confess,” Leon said.
The queen paused in her steps, glancing sideways at the man. “What do you mean? Are you asking me to confess to you?”
“You said it’s a good time for a confession, and you’ve been nagging me about it. So why not confess yourself? I’m listening,” Leon replied.
Rosvitha chuckled and playfully punched his arm. “You want this queen to confess to you? Maybe in the next life.”
“Oh, I’m so touched,” Leon remarked.
At his words, Rosvitha blinked in confusion. “Touched? Touched by what?”
“I was just thinking about this lifetime, but you’ve already planned out our next life. That’s even more touching than confessing to me,” Leon explained.
Rosvitha pushed Leon’s hand away and kicked him into the sea.
Fortunately, General Leon had spent many years marching and fighting, accumulating countless battle experiences.
In a swift reaction, just as his body was falling into the sea, he grabbed hold of Rosvitha’s clothes.
Splash—
Rosvitha’s cry of surprise was drowned out by the splashing waves.
The two of them tumbled into the shallow waters beside the beach.
When they came to their senses, she was already lying on top of Leon.
Her chin rested on Leon’s chest, and when she looked up, the dog of a man was lying in the waves, wearing a smug smile as he looked at her.
Rosvitha bit her lip, angrily pinching his waist.
Then, before he could yell out, she raised her hand to cover his mouth.
It was a set of actions as smooth as flowing water, practiced countless times on the bed.
After exacting her revenge, Rosvitha stood up satisfied.
She folded her arms, glancing at Leon, and snorted, “I don’t want to meet you again in the next life.”
Leon stood up from the water and approached, “What about the life after the next?”
“Nope.”
“Well, it seems we’ll have to finish the business of the next two lives in this one.”
Rosvitha raised an eyebrow, casually asking, “Such as?”
“Having a few more children…”
“Hiss— I think you’re asking for a beating!”
With that said, Rosvitha chuckled and raised her hand, while Leon laughed and dodged.
Then, before her tender palm could land, he smoothly held her hand again.
Rosvitha symbolically shook it twice.
She couldn’t shake it off.
“Tsk, childish.”
She yielded to the childish dragon slayer and let him continue to hold her hand as they strolled along the beach.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the beach, the three little dragon daughters watched their parents, who were now acting like children, with various expressions and different inner thoughts.
Muen (っω•c): Mom and dad are cute~
Little Light ฅ( ̳• ◡ • ̳)ฅ: Although I don’t understand, since mom has already kicked dad once, it’s reasonable for me to throw a punch too, right?
Noia: “In my dad’s reincarnation, he knocked out Konstantin with one move but got kicked into the sea by mom with one kick.
But Noia’s inner thoughts weren’t just about that.
Leon’s concern was justified; Noia had indeed developed a slight… worry about her parents’ relationship and the family in these past few days.
That night, she went to her mom’s room to find them, only to discover it empty.
And after that night, they were gone for a full five days.
She asked Anna where dad and mom had gone.
Anna said they had gone to deal with some matters themselves and asked the princess not to worry.
Noia then asked what kind of matters were so secretive that even their daughter couldn’t be told.
Anna replied that adult matters were very complex, and sometimes, even their daughter couldn’t be informed.
Normally, Noia didn’t like being treated as a child by others.
But this time, she accepted the fact that she wasn’t an adult.
Because she felt her lack of understanding towards her dad and mom.
For so long, she had only been testing and enjoying their love, but she had never really tried to understand these two people who loved her.
Combined with various doubts and puzzles she had noticed before, a not-so-good idea sprouted in Noia’s little head:
The thing dad and mom were hiding from her was something crucial to the whole family.
If this matter slipped from dad and mom’s control, or leaked due to some external factors, it would be a fatal blow to their entire family.
Noia couldn’t help but be concerned about this matter, and even after dad and mom returned, the shadow lingering in her heart couldn’t be dispelled.
It was as if she had returned to the state she was in when dad had just awakened.
Wanting to prove to herself through various clues that dad and mom were in love, that they cared about this family, and that they would never let it fall apart, Noia K. Melkvi was fortunate to have the world’s best dad.
Even with just a hint of concern in her eyes, Leon spared no effort to help his daughter through her worries. Her dad understood her, loved her, and was incredibly efficient in taking action.
Tonight, both Leon and Rosvitha’s actions only deepened the thought in Noia’s mind that “they are in love, they care about this family.”
The worries and troubles of the little dragon daughter gradually dissipated with the cool sea breeze.
Though she was still a bit afraid of the day they would part, the current happiness overflowed like water from a cup, enough to temporarily make Noia forget those worries.
“Sister, sister, sister!!”
In a distracted moment, Muen excitedly patted her arm.
“What’s up?” Noia regained her focus and looked at her sister.
Muen, jumping up and down, pointed towards the distant beach.
“Dad and mom are about to do something kids can’t watch!”
“Eh?” Noia followed her sister’s finger.
Sure enough.
The two of them stood in the waves, the water reaching their ankles.
Mom’s silver hair cascaded like a waterfall, stunning and captivating.
Dad’s large hand embraced her slender waist, holding her tightly against his chest.
They gazed at each other, their noses gently touching, their passionate lips caressing.
The beauty raised her hand, fingertips teasing her husband’s cheek, gazing into his eyes with a smile. “You know the daughters are watching us, don’t you?”
“I know.”
“Then you should also know that some scenes are not suitable for children.”
“Understood, Your Majesty.”
Rosvitha’s cheeks flushed red as she chuckled, “Alright, alright, understood~”
She closed her eyes and leaned in to kiss the man in front of her.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Noia was completely mesmerized.
Now she finally understood Principal Wilson’s old expression; it turns out shipping was so satisfying!
While Muen silently covered her little sister’s eyes, earnestly saying, “Children shouldn’t watch~”
Little Light: Second sister, it seems like you also want to taste one of my uppercuts.
They CLEARLY love each other! Noia and Muen are lucky to be able to witness it!
Leon jinxed it, more kids on the way soon enough
Noia is now also a fan in shipping her parents! 🤣
Aurora is just too much 😂😂
Aurora was born to choose violence.
Finally… these two are in love… Finally!
