Chapter 24: The Soul from Hell ( Part 2 )
Leon and Roseweiser sat together on a large sofa.
Isa raised an eyebrow when she saw this.
She remembered that the last time the couple came, they weren’t this close—one of them would sit inside, the other outside.
Now, without saying anything, they sat together.
Tsk tsk tsk, sure enough, things are different after having a second child. Their relationship has gotten better.
Well… to keep the Merkwy family happy, it’s best to have more children, Isa thought.
“Auntie, hug~”
Xiao Guang’s voice interrupted Isa’s thoughts about her sister and brother-in-law having more children.
She lowered her head and looked at the little pink-haired girl at her side, bending down to pick her up and place her on her lap.
After squeezing Xiao Guang’s little face and giving her two affectionate kisses, Isa raised her gaze to look at Roseweiser,
“Have you gathered all your people?”
“Yes, I gathered them all a while ago.”
Roseweiser said, “What surprised me was that everyone didn’t give up on the Silver Dragon tribe. No matter how far away they were, as soon as they heard the call, they all rushed back.”
Isa smiled, “That means you’re doing well as a queen, everyone is willing to follow you.”
Roseweiser nodded slightly, “Sister, you flatter me.”
Isa was about to ask something else but her gaze landed on the pendant necklace on Roseweiser’s chest.
“This necklace is beautiful, did your brother-in-law give it to you?”
“Oh, this? It was given to me by Grandma through someone a while ago. She said it was a wedding gift and instructed me to wear it often.”
Isa raised an eyebrow, “Why?”
“This pendant is made from a very special magical material, and wearing it can effectively prevent skin aging and such…”
Isa sneered, “You’re only two hundred years old, my dear sister, why are you worried about skin issues?”
Roseweiser laughed helplessly, “I can’t help it, but since it was Grandma’s request, I just followed it.”
“Well, I guess so, it looks nice on you anyway.”
Isa said, “Speaking of Grandma, she sent me a letter a few days ago saying she would come to see me in a while.”
“Oh? But Principal Olette also said Grandma would be back in some time. The person Grandma sent is Principal Olette.”
Since Isa and Olette both graduated from Saint Xis Academy, she naturally knew Olette.
“Grandma knows Principal Olette? Why didn’t I know about this…” Isa thought carefully and indeed, didn’t recall Grandma having any interactions with Principal Olette.
“I heard they got familiar with each other through an exploration project in the far north.”
“Exploration project? What did they explore?”
Roseweiser shook her head, “I don’t know. It seems Grandma and Principal Olette didn’t want to make it public, so I didn’t ask too much.”
Isa nodded thoughtfully and then changed the subject.
She looked at Leon, who was trying to give Munen a new hairstyle with pigtails, and said, “Brother-in-law, I heard you performed another heroic feat recently.”
Leon put down Munen’s hair and looked at Isa, “What?”
“Justice fell from the sky, taking down six dragon kings in a second. This is quite a historic feat in the dragon world.”
Isa smiled, “Tell me, did love and justice give you the strength to do it again?”
The story of “Leon’s Ten-Second Six Dragon Kill” had reached Saint Xis Academy, so it wasn’t surprising Isa had heard of it.
Leon awkwardly scratched his forehead, then straightened up, his expression serious,
“Yes, to protect the wife I love, I’m willing to give everything, even my life—”
“Alright, alright, you two lovebirds, save this for when you’re alone. I’ve been single for centuries, I can’t handle this mushiness.”
Her brother-in-law was truly impossible to figure out:
He could kill six dragons in ten seconds, a feat that shook the world;
And then he could also say sweet words, as corny as could be.
But judging by little Rose’s reaction, she seemed to enjoy it.
Sigh…
Just as she was feeling this way, Roseweiser said, “Sister, you’re getting to the age, you should consider finding someone.”
“Me? I’m not in a hurry.”
As she spoke, Isa slightly lowered her head and kissed Xiao Guang on the cheek again, “Anyway, I still have my lovely nieces. Whether it’s marriage or having the next generation, I’m not in a hurry. Right, Xiao Guang~”
Surrounded by Auntie’s lovely perfume, Xiao Guang rubbed her cheek against hers.
Roseweiser blinked and suddenly had an idea, “By the way, sister, do you have time tomorrow?”
“Yes, what’s up?”
“Munen and Xiao Guang are planning to take the entrance test for Saint Xis Academy next month, and they need a family photo for the test.”
Roseweiser said, “We thought, we could take the family photo while we visit Aunt Isa, if you have time, you can come too.”
“Oh? That’s a good idea, Xiao Guang is already over a year old, we haven’t taken a family photo yet.”
Isa said, “Grandma said in her letter she would come back soon, but no exact date. If we delay the entrance test, that wouldn’t be good.”
“Mm. We can take another one after Grandma returns.”
“No problem, we’ll go tomorrow.”
As the night grew deeper, the Merkwy family chatted about their trip to Sky Castle tomorrow.
Unbeknownst to them, a soul that had returned from hell was silently closing in.
…
That evening, Isa arranged rooms for the little dragon girls and then took the couple to another room.
When the door opened, a subtle fragrance wafted through the air.
Leon and Roseweiser stood in the foyer, observing the room’s furnishings:
A soft, large waterbed, a bathtub filled with rose petals that couldn’t drain, and a cabinet seemingly stuffed with various little props.
This was a classic rerun!
“Sister… did you redecorate this room like last time?” Roseweiser asked.
