Shut up, malevolent dragon! I don’t want to have any more children with you V3C29 Part 2

Chapter 29: The Brilliant Reason ( Part 2 )

Standing beside him, Roseweiser also anxiously held her breath, hoping her husband would come up with a good excuse and that Isa wouldn’t catch on. Otherwise, not just old Konstantin but possibly everyone could be in trouble tonight.

“In the future, I found out that a mysterious organization was collecting dragon heart-protecting dragon scales. Their goal was unclear, but clearly, they were hostile to us.”

“So when I returned to the present, in the very first battle, I intentionally left a hand to deal with Bly’s dragon scales, as a trump card for future use. Just like how I handled Konstantin earlier.”

After saying that, Leon looked at Roseweiser.

Leon: [How was that, honey? I think my excuse is perfect (confident).].

Roseweiser (her lips twitching, a look of exasperation written all over her face):

[Some, mysterious, organization—Come on, big brother, you thought of such a hasty and terrible excuse in just two minutes!

Couldn’t you have been a little more convincing?!

Do you think my sister is an idiot?

Do you think she’ll believe it?].

Leon: [Why wouldn’t she believe it? I think my reason is flawless (sure).].

Roseweiser: [If she believes it, I’ll—].

Isa finally understood, “Oh~~ that’s how it is.”

She bought it!!

Leon shrugged, then glanced at Roseweiser smugly.

[What did you just say, Your Majesty? You’ll—].

Roseweiser: [I’ll… I’ll just take my husband’s hand, how about that?].

The couple, once again quietly close to each other, Roseweiser gently hooked her arm through Leon’s, leaned into his ear, and whispered,

“My sister probably just finished fighting, her brain is a little fuzzy, and she didn’t dig deeper into your flimsy excuse, so you can enjoy your little victory.”

Leon whispered back, “We’ll patch things up later, let’s just get through tonight first.”

In reality, Leon’s excuse was indeed hasty.

He had simply replaced “the Empire” with “a mysterious organization.”

The rest was the truth.

However, the Empire was the key part of the excuse.

As long as Isa didn’t connect Leon’s trump card with the Empire, even though she was smart, her mind couldn’t immediately jump to the human side.

After all, foreign races fighting dragons weren’t just humans— many other races were involved.

They were all waging wars for those limited resources.

Seeing that Isa had bought Leon’s last-minute excuse, the couple breathed a quiet sigh of relief.

But little did they know, Isa was secretly observing them, her mind in doubt,

“I just feel… something’s not quite right.”

Her brother-in-law was indeed hard to figure out, but Isa couldn’t directly press him, as that would yield no useful information.

Well… since you’ve left a hand for this so-called mysterious organization, I’ll keep my guard up.

You’re indeed an excellent family member, husband, and father,

But certainly not an excellent… pretender.

…

After the battle, Isa efficiently directed the Red Dragon Guards to begin the cleanup work.

“Take down the mammoth legs hanging from the door, see how the meat is, and whether it can still be roasted.”

“Replant the entire lawn, since there’s not much of it left intact anyway.”

“Also, rebuild the pavilion for me. The materials and labor costs will be applied for by my sister. Deny it? She dares to deny me? Her husband broke it, so her family should pay for it!”

“And that… Konstantin’s head, just bury it somewhere, it looks unlucky.”

“……”

The Red Dragon Temple, inside and out, was in a state of disarray, and it seemed like it would take a while to fix everything.

Leon and Roseweiser stood not far behind Isa, quietly watching her direct the scene.

After a while, Roseweiser lowered her voice and said, “My sister doesn’t seem to suspect you.”

“Of course not. My excuse earlier might have seemed hasty, but in reality—”

“In reality, it was even more hasty,” Roseweiser said.

Leon rolled his eyes at her and argued, “Actually, it was flawless! Your sister won’t find any holes in it to doubt me.”

What Leon said was true.

His excuse, while simple, was often the hardest to find flaws in.

If there were too many embellishments and lies in an unspoken truth, it would only raise suspicions.

And it wouldn’t be easy to cover up the lie later.

The phrase “a mysterious organization,” though hasty, left plenty of room to spin the story later. It wasn’t hard to cover up.

“Dad, Mom! Auntie! Are you okay?”

The daughters’ voices came from behind.

The couple and Isa turned around.

Under the protection of the Red Dragon maids, the little dragon girls were all safe and sound.

Leon crouched down and picked up Mun, “Mom and Dad are fine. How about you? Were you scared?”

Mun’s little face clearly showed a hint of lingering fear, but she bravely shook her head. “Mun wasn’t scared. Big sister was always protecting Mun and Xiao Guang.”

Leon gently pressed his cheek to his daughter’s, knowing that his little darling was probably quite frightened. She was just trying to avoid making him and Roseweiser worry.

However, he didn’t force Mun to admit she was scared. Sometimes, fear is something one has to process on their own.

“Mun is great. Nooya, Xiao Guang, you’re great too.”

Isa also walked over and picked up Xiao Guang.

The scene was nearly complete, with three parents each holding a child. Only the grandmother was missing, making the full Merkewei family.

Isa, holding Xiao Guang, looked at the wrecked temple with a light sigh, “There’s a lot of work after the battle, I probably can’t go with you all to Sky City to take the family photo tomorrow.”

Xiao Guang blinked her beautiful pink eyes, her gaze shifting past her aunt’s shoulder to her parents.

Roseweiser caught the unspoken meaning in her daughter’s eyes and smiled, nodding in approval.
