Chapter 145 - 145: Begging Leon to Sleep on the Bed or Sleeping Beside Leon?
Very well, the evenly matched bickering was the first thing they did after moving in together, what a great start indeed.
After a few exchanges, Leon walked to the bed, picked up his own blanket, and then threw it onto the sofa.
Then placed the toy bear on the back of the sofa.
The bachelor pad of a married, cohabiting, child-rearing but single man was now complete.
Rossweise glanced at him, said nothing, went straight to bed, pulled back the covers, and lay down.
The night deepened, and the moonlight was gentle.
The cohabitation life of humanity's strongest dragon slayer and the Silver Dragon Queen officially began tonight.
———
No matter the circumstances, when a bad "idea" is brought up, even if unintentional, it will take root and grow wildly in a person's mind like a seed.
Even Rossweise could not escape this curse.
She lay on the soft bed, her silver eyes staring straight at the ceiling.
The room was extremely quiet, only the mechanical sound of the clock and the breathing of the man on the sofa could be heard.
Although not quite used to peacefully sharing a room with that guy, on such a quiet night, Rossweise shouldn't be without any sleepiness.
The reason was still Leon's earlier remark, 'Be careful you don't open your eyes to see a spider.'
Actually, Rossweise's fear of spiders was only known to her family.
And to prevent her subordinates and clan from knowing that their queen had such a small weakness, Rossweise had Anna and others conduct a comprehensive pest extermination inside and outside the Silver Dragon Sanctuary every three months.
On the surface, it was to maintain the environmental health of the sanctuary;
In reality, it was "All spiders, die!"
Thinking back, the last extermination was the day after returning from her sister Isa's place, because she encountered two spiders in Isa's bed, causing her to sleep holding hands with Leon all night.
So after returning, Rossweise immediately launched a spider eradication campaign.
'It's been quite a while since then, it seems it's indeed time to arrange the last pest extermination of the year—'
'But what about tonight?'
Now, as soon as Rossweise closes her eyes, she feels spiders crawling on her.
It's like just after watching a horror movie, turning off the lights and feeling ghosts everywhere.
Various PTSD-like thoughts keep popping into her head.
'It's been a long time since the last extermination, could a new generation of spiders have grown up?'
'When that dog man sneaked into my room last night through the balcony, could spiders have followed him in?'
'Maybe there's a spider under this bed, waiting for the right moment to climb up—'
'Can't think anymore!'
'Sleep, sleep, sleep!'
Rossweise tightly closed her eyes, her body tensed up, but her mind still couldn't help but wander.
In the autumn and winter seasons, the air is dry, and the friction between the bedding and skin easily generates small static electricity.
That feeling is like small bugs crawling on the body.
Normally, Rossweise wouldn't care about such small details.
But after being scared by Leon earlier, she always feels like small spiders have crawled into her bed.
Although she knows the probability of spiders in the room is very small, the ingrained fear of eight-legged, multi-eyed creatures still lingers.
'Damn dragon slayer, one day I will fill your bed with carrots and eggplants', the Silver Dragon Queen thought angrily.
'But... still need to find a way to get through tonight.'
She turned her head, looking towards Leon on the sofa.
The blanket covered up to his abdomen, one hand naturally hanging off the sofa, the other lightly covering his forehead.
This posture didn't seem like he was asleep.
Rossweise pursed her lips and tentatively asked, "Leon... are you asleep?"
"What do you want.", The man on the sofa quickly replied.
"Nothing, just asking."
"Oh."
Rustle—
Leon turned over, his back to Rossweise, facing the back of the sofa.
'Hey, don't turn away!'
'At least let me see your face for some sense of security!'
"Leon..."
"What now?"
"Can you... turn back over..."
"Beg me."
Rossweise narrowed her eyes, her hand under the blanket secretly clenched into a fist, but her mouth still softened, "Please, turn over for a bit."
Leon was startled, he didn't expect the dragon queen to actually beg him.
'What's going on? Did she dream of turning into a human again?'
'But I didn't start any prenatal education plan tonight.'
'Or?...'
'Oh~ho~'
Leon thought, maybe it was because he casually mentioned spiders before sleeping, causing the dragon queen to toss and turn unable to sleep.
Leon felt a bit pleased inside, then slowly turned over.
"Like this?"
Rossweise bit her lower lip and nodded, "Yes."
Leon chuckled.
If he had known the great Silver Dragon Queen had such a weakness, he would have had his brothers catch a sack of spiders when they attacked the Silver Dragon Sanctuary.
But on second thought, it seems unlikely to be so straightforward.
After all, daily life is daily life, war is war.
In life, she's afraid of spiders, but that doesn't mean she would be afraid during battle, one dragon flame and not just spiders, even SSS-level spider-type dangerous species would be turned to ashes.
Leon closed his eyes, stopping his wandering thoughts.
Sleepiness was rising, he decided to put the second child plan aside for tonight, and talk about it tomorrow.
But just as he was about to fall asleep, a soft voice came from the bed opposite, "Leon..."
Leon impatiently clicked his tongue, frowned, but still kept his eyes closed, "What now?"
"Can you... can you come sleep on the bed?"
The lion-like man suddenly opened his eyes, "What?"
He didn't mishear, he thought he misheard.
Rossweise bit her lip, her face red, very embarrassed to repeat, "I said, can you come sleep on the bed..."

'Wow, she's really scared.'
'Wuwuwu, Miss Melkvei, afraid of spiders, is so pitiful, makes one want to protect her—'
'Not really.'
"No."
Leon said, "You were the one who said not to let me sleep on the bed, the Silver Dragon Queen can't go back on her word."
Rossweise pinched the corner of the blanket, trying to persuade Leon in another way, "You... you are my prisoner of war, you have to obey my orders, I tell you to come sleep on the bed, you have to come."
'Hmph, a woman strong on the outside but weak inside.'
Leon saw right through her, "No no, there's no reason in the world for a prisoner of war to sleep in the same bed as the queen, that's upside down."
Rossweise was speechless, "Haven't you slept in my bed many times before?"
"So now I have a great realization, I will reform and never sleep in your bed again, Your Majesty the Queen.", Leon said with a serious face.
"You!..."
'How can this dog man be so stubborn!'
'Have to keep wearing him down.'
"Leon... really, come sleep up here, just for tonight."
Seeing the dragon queen so pitiful, Leon couldn't bear it.
So he decided—
To continue to tease her.
Please, moments to control Rossweise are becoming fewer and fewer, Leon must cherish every opportunity.
"Hmm... letting me come over is not impossible, but I have a condition.", Leon said.
"What condition?"
"Call me hubby."
"...I won't."
"Oh, then good night."
With that, Leon directly covered himself with the blanket, turned over, leaving only his back to Rossweise.
"Hey Leon!... Come over, okay, please."
"Call~ me~ hubby~ or no deal."
Rossweise tightly gripped the corner of the blanket, her dragon pupils narrowing.
This is a precursor to a dragon's temper flaring up.
As the saying goes, I can do this thing voluntarily, but you can't order me to do it.
Rossweise directly threw off the blanket, barefoot, strode towards the sofa.
Leon heard the hurried footsteps, just turned over to see what was happening.
But Rossweise had already reached the sofa, then lifted her foot onto the edge of the sofa, with a push, her entire body leaped over Leon's chest, squeezing into the gap between him and the back of the sofa.
This smooth set of actions left Leon stunned.
'How did she, at 1.7 meters tall with a 34E bust, fit herself into such a narrow gap?'
'Are women made of water, are dragon queens too?'
Leon shook his head, then asked, "What are you doing? Don't you have your own bed?"
"If you won't come, then I have to come over."
Rossweise squeezed into Leon's blanket, her long body tightly pressed against the back of the sofa, "Leon, this is all your fault!"
"My... my fault?"
Leon, like many men, when his girlfriend is angry, has no idea what he did wrong.
"It's you who had to mention that damn spider, otherwise I would be asleep by now."
"...Honey, that really is a huge mistake."
