Chapter 153 - 153: Both With Plans
Perhaps feeling that the previous topic was a bit heavy, Isa skillfully steered away, "But if I hadn't met you, would you really have told me about the second child?"
She smiled, looking at the two across from her.
"Hey sis, didn't Leon just say that he would definitely tell you. Right, Leon?"
"Huh? Ah... right."
"Hmph, the wife leads and the husband follows, your relationship is much better than I thought."
'Yes, yes, our relationship is really good.'
'So good that after more than two years of marriage, we just started living together yesterday.'
'But if even someone as smart as Isa thinks that our marital relationship is good, then it shows that our act is really well done.'
'How does that saying go?'
'No feelings, all technique.'
'Yes, all technique.'
The sisters chatted about some other topics, and in the afternoon, they casually strolled around Sky City.
As an older sister, Isa was of course very concerned about her sister's health.
She bought some supplements that weren't on the list.
When passing by a prenatal yoga class, she also signed her sister up.
"...Sis, maybe skip the yoga?"
"Can't skip it. I heard that doing yoga during pregnancy is good for the baby's health."
Isa handed the registration form to Rossweise.
It said that yoga can be started after three months of pregnancy.
So that's only one month away... Rossweise was at a loss for words.
Seeing the mother dragon's expression, Leon knew she was resistant to this.
If she's resistant, then Leon has something to say.

Leon placed his hand on Rossweise's shoulder, "Sister is doing this for your and the baby's good, you should come to class properly when the time comes."
Rossweise held the registration form, glaring at this guy.
'So quick to retaliate for the earlier embarrassment, huh?'
'Hmph, dog man.'
Rossweise glanced at the registration form again, then chuckled, "Alright, I'll come. But it says here that if a pregnant woman signs up, her husband must accompany her. Hubby, you will definitely come with me, right?"
'This 'hubby' is so sweet, can you just call me hubby and take back the rest?'
Leon clicked his tongue, responding perfunctorily, "Yeah yeah, I'll accompany you."
"Hubby, if you don't want to, I can come by myself, it's okay," Rossweise feigned a pitiful tone.
"...You've had enough."
"Hu~bby~"
"You two have had enough," Isa felt that if she didn't stop them, these two might just nauseate everyone to death on the street.
'Please, big sister is here to interrogate you, how come I'm the one getting fed dog food?'
But what Isa saw as affection, Leon and Rossweise saw as just a means to disgust each other.
So don't misunderstand, purely just tactics.
After chatting a bit more, the sisters said their goodbyes.
Rossweise carefully put away the yoga class registration form, "Then let's go back too, we can make dinner for the girls when we get home."
Leon weighed the Jade Dew Dragon Fruit in his hand, a fruitful day indeed.
Harvested spoils, and also a grilling from sister, very fulfilling.
He nodded, "Alright, let's go home."
.
.
.
A few nights later, Leon took the couple's pajamas to the bathroom to change.
Although Noah has already gone to school, but who knows if Luna has been assigned a task by sister to sneak into Mommy and Daddy's room at night to check if they are sleeping together or wearing couple's pajamas, if not, it would be reported and criticized.
Leon first placed the pajamas on the clothes rack next to him, then crossed his arms, grabbed the corners of his shirt, and swiftly took off his shirt from the bottom up.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Leon's gaze fell on the dragon mark on his chest.
Although he is now living with that mother dragon, it doesn't affect Leon secretly refining and storing magic power.
Fortunately, Rossweise hasn't had much action these past few days, after lying in bed, they at most bicker a few words, then each sleeps on their own.
The last time in the study, the tail wrap move caused Leon to lose part of the magic power stored in the dragon mark, which means, whether it's a routine assignment or not, as long as the dragon mark is involved in the process, it means Leon will lose magic power.
Even if it's just using the tail.
'So the prerequisite for accumulating a certain amount of magic power is.'
'From now on, never engage with Rossweise again—in any form.'
'But thinking with your knees, you know this is unlikely.'
Rossweise's original motive for punishing Leon, the defeated captive, is to force him to do that kind of thing with her, to insult Leon's pride and self-esteem as a human and dragon slayer.
Now asking her to change a method, she might not even know how to torment Leon.
Would she really hang him up and whip him with a small whip?
Then it would become domestic violence.
So in short, if Leon wants to restore his peak strength, he must try to reduce the number of assignments with Rossweise in the near future.
Best not to do any.
Which means, he has to maintain his virginity.
"Hiss... no wonder master said back then that little boys practice kung fu better, there's a reason for it," Leon suddenly realized.
But for a married man with kids, cohabiting, and this cohabiting partner is not only good-looking but also has a sexy figure, wanting to use her soft and flexible tail to do something strange every night, to maintain so-called virginity, is probably a bit difficult, right?
And if Rossweise finds out that doing assignments can drain Leon's magic power, she might increase the frequency from once every three days to three times a day.
'Don't underestimate that mother dragon, even in this special situation, she has plenty of ways.'
"Ah, anyway... to steadily recover strength, it's better not to provoke that mother dragon for now."
Leon paused, then suddenly remembered, "But not provoking aside, the prenatal education plan must still go on. Counting the days, it's been several days since the last prenatal education class for the second baby, let's find a chance to try tonight."
Thinking so, Leon changed into his pajamas and walked out of the bathroom.
The study light was still on, indicating Rossweise was still working.
Leon thought for a moment, then casually strolled to the study door, leaning against the doorframe.
Rossweise heard the movement, glanced up, then lowered her eyes again, continuing to work at her desk, "What's up."
She was also wearing the pink couple's pajamas, probably changed into them while Leon was in the bathroom.
Her silver hair was tied into a simple ponytail draped over her shoulders, the bangs in front were slightly pinned up, otherwise the dense hair would fall and block her vision.
Rossweise, when focused on work, always has a magical charm, the aura she emits is completely different from her usual cool indifference or dark sarcasm.
It makes people involuntarily quiet down, seriously appreciating such an intellectual beauty.
Of course, in recent days, this intellectual beauty has added a bit of weight.
Because the queen's pink pajamas are somewhat cartoonish, creating a subtle contrast with her elegant temperament, making her seem less unapproachable.
Leon glanced at the coffee on her desk, probably for staying awake.
'It seems the queen is going to burn the midnight oil tonight.'
"With so much work, can you finish it?", Leon asked.
"If you don't do it, it will never be finished," The workaholic's thoughts are always so simple.
"Then should I make you some midnight snacks?"
"No need, I'm not hungry yet."
"I'm afraid the baby in your belly might get hungry," Leon said.
The queen's pen tip paused, her silver eyes moved, then she looked up, fingers holding the pen, palm supporting her chin, across the table, smilingly looking at Leon,
"Really afraid the baby might get hungry? Or... too shy to directly express concern for me, so using the baby as a shield?"
After learning from sister Isa about the vow Leon once made, Rossweise finally has a handle to deeply stab Leon's heart.
Although it's unclear whether it was his true feelings or just to placate Isa, using this to pierce Leon's heart is still effective.
Sure enough, Rossweise's simple A hit forced Leon to flash.
"I care about you? The only thing I care about is when you'll hand over the Silver Dragon King's throne to me, so the entire Silver Dragon Sanctuary becomes Leon Casmodeous' domain."
Rossweise knows these nonsensical slick words are not Leon's true feelings.
But what he truly thinks, Rossweise doesn't know.
But... it's okay.
Tonight she plans to try the long-unplayed 2:30 truth session.
"Then what?", Now Rossweise is willing to play along with his banter.
Cohabitation life is like this, in this house, each is the other's only conversation partner.
And in the boring and tedious work, listening to Leon's half-true words is Rossweise's only way to relax.
"Then? Then I'll—"
Leon was about to say "Then I'll offer all your Silver Dragon soldiers as second-class or first-class merits to the empire, buddy will never have to worry about food and clothing again."
But he suddenly realized, this sentence might cause some emotional fluctuations in Rossweise.
A pregnant mother dragon's temper is unpredictable.
The Jade Dew Dragon Fruit she got from Sky City a few days ago hasn't been eaten yet, so her emotions might suddenly flare up.
So, the words at the tip of his tongue turned into,
"Then I'll finish all your work, leaving you, the workaholic, with nothing to do but retire in peace."
He couldn't say any mushy sweet nothings to Rossweise, after thinking, this was all he could come up with.
The queen, hearing this, chuckled softly, "Alright, I'm still a few hundred years away from retirement, you can help me with work then."

"A few hundred years later I'll climb out of my grave to help you with work?"
"It's fine, I'll find a wizard to resurrect your body, turning you into a work-only puppet. How about it, hubby, am I thoughtful?"
Leon grinned with a stiff smile, gritting his teeth, "You're so thoughtful, wifey."
Rossweise smiled, then immediately gathered her thoughts, sighed, looking down at the piles of work reports and documents on the table.
'Leon is right, work is never-ending.'
'Let's call it a night for now.'
After all, she still has to stay up until 2:30 after going to bed, the coffee on the table is prepared for that.
Rossweise removed the hairpin, loosened the ponytail, her silver hair cascading down to her waist.
She stood up, turned off the desk lamp, "Let's go, to sleep."
Leon's heart leaped with joy, finally, the workaholic is going to rest, once she's asleep, the prenatal education plan can begin.
The couple entered the bed from both sides.
Rossweise turned off the bedside lamp, lay down, softly saying, "Good night."
"Good night."
Actually, they didn't have the habit of saying good night to each other before.
