"Hmph! Haven't you had enough of smelling me every day?"
"How could I ever have enough? I'll never have enough."
The mother dragon was coaxed into happiness, the tip of her long tail lifting unconsciously.
That's how women are. Even the Silver Dragon Queen couldn't resist sweet words during flirting.
And of course Leon wasn't lying.
Even words that didn't sound truly heartfelt could make a girl happy for a long time.
Actually, Leon hadn't really liked, or rather, wasn't very good at, using sweet words to flirt before.
Because in his eyes, a strong and independent woman like Rossweise wouldn't fall for that kind of thing.
But facts proved that no matter what a woman's identity or status, as long as the sweet talk struck her heart, she would definitely come over like a kitten and rub against the back of your hand.
Of course, that required Leon to have qualities that Rossweise admired.
Otherwise, he'd probably just be treated as harassment.
"Mm~", She let out a soft moan, twisting her supple waist.
Her lower belly rubbed lightly against Leon's body, while her slender legs restlessly moved, like two seductive snakes, brushing and scraping around his waist.
Skin sliding against skin, a faint rustling sound.
The queen's intent to seduce was plain. Just waiting to see when the mutt-man would take the bait.
"Do you like it?", Rossweise played the edge-ball to perfection, still not forgetting to ask if he liked it.
For Leon, of course he liked it.
But this wasn't the same as that earlier "does it smell good."
Earlier, Leon could honestly admit he liked her scent. Because even if Rossweise wanted to stop him from smelling, she couldn't stop herself from giving off fragrance.
But this "do you like it" carried several meanings.
Maybe she was asking if he liked her teasing.
Maybe if he liked her herself.
Maybe if he liked her being even bolder.
No matter which it was, if Leon answered honestly, this black-bellied mother dragon would definitely pull back immediately, stringing him along.
With his rich dragon-taming experience, General Leon had already seen through this little evil dragon's trick.
So he chose, to beat her at her own game.
"Of course I like it, wife. I like it very much."
"Heh... since that's the case, then we'll stop here for today."
Sure enough, once she had stirred up his restlessness, she chose to refuse after tempting.
Just to make Leon beg her.
But Leon had already prepared.
Just as Rossweise tried to get up, she suddenly felt a pressure on her butt, pressing her down, not letting her move.
The queen frowned.
"Move your hand... off my... body," She was too shy to say "butt," so after pausing, she replaced it with "body."
Leon chuckled, "My hand isn't on your body, Your Majesty."
"You..."
"Where is it then? If you don't say the exact spot, I won't move it."
Rossweise's face flushed red, biting her lip secretly.
She knew the mutt-man, after months away, would surely be prepared and wouldn't be so easily handled.
She just hadn't expected to be caught off guard in the very first round.
Truly, people make mistakes, dragons slip their butts.
Rossweise played dumb, "I don't know what you're talking about. Anyway, take your dog paw off."
"Tch, I don't understand what Your Majesty is saying. My hand clearly isn't on your body, so why should I move it?"
What's the difference between "on your body" and "on your butt"?
'You dog!'
Seeing Rossweise's helpless yet unwilling-to-yield look, Leon smiled in satisfaction, and then—
Smack!
"Ah!~"
His hand rose and fell, landing a slap on the Queen's dragon butt.
The same familiar feeling. The same familiar sound.
And most importantly—
'It feels great!'
Rossweise, sitting duck-style on his waist and stomach, endured the sting on her butt, her pretty face flushed red, and she twisted his arm hard.
General Leon yelped in pain.
"Hmph! Now you know pain? Move your hand."
She thought this would finally make the mutt-man back off.
But who knew—
"Your Majesty, do you know we have a saying? 'Return a person's way to their own body.'"
"What, ah, my butt!"
Before she could finish, Leon gave the Queen's dragon butt a squeeze.
Truthfully, it was his first time doing this.
Usually he just slapped and stopped.
But today this little mother dragon dared resist.
So he couldn't be blamed for pressing the advantage.
Rossweise's face burned, her hands covering her sore butt.
Though unwilling, she really couldn't keep tangling with Leon anymore.
Otherwise her butt wouldn't survive.
"Leon... please, move your hand, off my... my butt, thank you."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
So wonderful.
Truly wonderful.
Coming home to see Rossweise with that helpless, unwilling expression.
After the "Dragon Butt Battle" ended, the couple hadn't yet thought of any new tricks to torment each other.
So they started kissing.
Kissing, after all, they were married. When bored, they just kissed.
When they thought of a new bad idea, they would stop and start teasing again.
Like this, in the eyes of others, they were a loving couple. But in reality, they were two fools who loved and tormented each other—
It fit the promise they had made back then.
And counted as Leon and Rossweise not forgetting their original intentions.
———
After a while, Rossweise slowly sat up.
In the sunlight, the corners of her lips still glistened with traces of lingering sweetness.
She gently scraped Leon's cheek with her thumb, her face red, her eyes soft and flowing.
"The situation now is special, so we can only go this far."
Leon nodded, "Mm, I know."
"But do you really want to stop here?", Leon knew what Rossweise meant.
She had many ways to replace the usual "homework."
But in the past, it had always been Rossweise taking the initiative.
This time, Leon wanted to be the one more proactive.
The queen raised her brows. First she was startled, surprised that the mutt-man would actually ask her to do that.
But after the brief surprise, she smiled charmingly.
"Bad boy. That comes with a price," Though she said that, the queen was already prepared.
"What do you want...", Leon asked in a low voice.
Rossweise leaned down slowly, silver hair falling on his face, tickling lightly.
"After such a long separation, don't you dare lose control and finish too quickly, understood, my little lion?"
———
Having ended long-distance love and returned to family life, General Leon now did only two things every day:
During the day, he took care of Noah.
At night, he took care of his wife.
One drained his mind, the other his body.
But it was fulfilling.
A few days later, Noah received a letter from Helena.
In the letter, Helena asked about Noah's condition, then told her the Academy's promotion assessment would be held again.
"They're holding the promotion assessment again?"
Noah nodded, putting away her best friend's letter, "Mm, because Adam stirred things up, the number of dangerous species in Nightmare Moon Forest changed drastically. The difficulty of the assessment couldn't be estimated, so the Academy could only restart it."
Leon thought for a moment, then agreed.
"That's fine. So the reassessment will still be in Nightmare Moon Forest?"
"No. Helena said in the letter, because the incident happened too suddenly, disrupting the Academy's plans, they hadn't prepared a backup site. So they can only use the assessment method from past years."
"The method from past years?"
Rossweise raised her brows and asked, "What is it?"
She had graduated from the Academy over a hundred years ago, so surely the promotion assessments of recent years weren't the same as back then.
"Mm... I heard from upperclassmen, it's simulated combat practice."
"Simulated combat? Then isn't that the same as your regular courses? The difficulty will drop a lot, right?"
"Not necessarily. The simulated combat for promotion exams is very different from usual, especially because... the practice opponents might even involve... role-play?"
