Chapter 2: Hello sister-in-law! ( Part 2 )
This time, Rosvitha didn’t respond immediately. She thought for a moment before speaking.
“The reason we can communicate so easily now is only because of a series of coincidences.”
Rebecca raised an eyebrow, “What… do you mean?”
“If the Empire hadn’t tried to assassinate Leon, I wouldn’t have captured him, and we wouldn’t have married, and you and I wouldn’t be talking right now.”
“Hmm… It was a series of coincidences.” Rebecca pondered.
“So, I’m not that different from the dragon kings you’re familiar with.”
After a pause, Rosvitha added jokingly, “Oh, but I don’t eat people.”
Rebecca smiled faintly but said nothing, waiting for Rosvitha to continue.
“And your evaluation of me just now was made after you had some understanding of me, right?”
Rebecca nodded, “Mm-hmm.”
“Rebecca, I’m not trying to justify the nearly century-long war between humans and dragons. It’s very difficult to make accurate judgments without understanding one another.”
Rosvitha continued, “To be honest, I used to harbor deep hostility toward humans. I have no reason to hide that. My relationship with Leon wasn’t smooth sailing either. He went through a lot of hardship in the process.”
“Ah… and of course, I suffered a lot too.”
“My change in perception toward Leon, and toward humans, was something that happened slowly during our time together.”
“But I also understand that one person can’t represent an entire race. So besides Leon, I want to get to know the people around him as well.”
“Maybe it will help me understand more about the enemy I’ve faced for the past hundred years, and allow me to make the most accurate judgment.”
Rebecca sat quietly, lost in thought. She didn’t think very often, but Rosvitha’s words were indeed interesting, worthy of careful consideration.
After a while, Rebecca softly asked, “So, you’re trying to get to know me, to understand me?”
“Mm-hmm. Now that you know what I think, what do you think?”
Rebecca bit her lip, thought for a moment, and said slowly, “I never imagined having this kind of conversation with a dragon king. Maybe calling your sister-in-law was a bit premature. Before that… we should try to become friends first, don’t you think?”
Rosvitha’s pupils flickered slightly as she smiled, “I believe humans call that… best friends.”
Rebecca was also amused by the Queen’s choice of words.
“Yeah, best friends. Even though a two-hundred-year age difference is quite big… if the captain can marry you, why can’t I be your best friend?”
Thankfully, it’s only best friends, she thought to herself.
“If you hadn’t said that, I would have thought you wanted to make me your goddaughter.”
“What do best friends in human society do together?”
Rebecca thought for a moment and replied, “Chat, eat, drink, gossip about boyfriends… but I don’t have a boyfriend yet.”
Rosvitha blinked. “You don’t, but I do.”
The silver dragon slightly turned her head, and she and the girl on her back shared a knowing glance.
Two seconds later.
“Let me tell you, Your Majesty, the captain loves mature silver-haired women like you! When we were in school—”
General Lai will never know that on that day, his most loyal gunner took all his underwear off and showed it to his wife.
This story tells us:
Never let your wife meet your college classmates.
otherwise, It ranges from no underwear at all; More importantly…the family status cannot be guaranteed!
…
Rosvitha and Rebecca arrived at a secluded riverside, walking along the stone path as they chatted.
And gossiping was always the most effective way for girls to bond.
“I know that Leon likes silver and girls with silver hair,” Rosvitha said. “Hmm… Is there any secret that only your classmates know?”
Rosvitha kept thinking, The first time I met Tiger, the old man had shared some of Leon’s dark history and a few of his hidden weaknesses with Rosvitha.
But those were only things that Tiger, as a parent, could have observed.
To truly get a handle on all the embarrassing moments from Leon’s school days, only a classmate would do!
And Rebecca wasn’t just a schoolmate of Leon’s—after graduation, she had even joined Leon’s dragon-slaying team.
Their relationship was that close, so the little girl must have some juicy dirt on Leon.
What’s that?
Rebecca thought, You ask, after being married for so long, why does the Queen still insist on digging up her husband’s dark past?
Don’t ask.
This Queen just enjoys gossiping for fun.
“Secrets that only classmates know… Let me think,” Rebecca said, pinching her chin and recalling.
A moment later, she raised a finger, “Oh, there is one. The Captain received a lot of love letters when we were in school, but most of them he threw away without even looking at. However, there was one letter that he hesitated before throwing away. You know about this, right?”
Rosvitha nodded.
“That person was an older student, silver-haired, tall, and very pretty,” Rebecca said, getting more animated as she spoke about the Captain’s past.
Rosvitha narrowed her eyes slightly.
Rebecca quickly shifted her tone, “Ahem, but of course, she’s not as pretty as you, Sister-in-law. Ten of her couldn’t compare to you, hehe.”
The little girl seemed reckless, but she was quite sharp.
Rosvitha covered her mouth and chuckled, “Mm, go on then.”
Rebecca opened her mouth, about to continue, but suddenly realized something and asked, “By the way, Sister-in-law, you… don’t get jealous often, do you?”
Rosvitha raised an eyebrow, seeming to understand that this bit of gossip was quite intense, hence Rebecca’s careful inquiry about jealousy.
Jealous? I’m a queen, not some petty wife, how could I be easily jealous?
So Rosvitha smiled and replied, “Of course not, I never get jealous.”
Rebecca was suspicious, “Really?”
“Mm. I’m the Silver Dragon Queen—I have a broad mind.”
Upon hearing this, Rebecca glanced at her sister-in-law’s ample chest, then looked down at her flat one.
Hmm, indeed, a broad mind.
“As long as you’re not jealous, then I’ll continue, okay?”
“Go ahead.”
High EQ: Not jealous.
