Vol. 5 Ch. 84

“What? You and Noa are going to participate in an outdoor test with Mevis next Monday?”

In the bedroom, Rosvisser stood in front of the wardrobe, changing into a spaghetti-strap nightgown as she questioned Leon.

Leon, sitting on the bed, nodded. “Yes, Helena will join us too. The test requires the student to bring a friend and a family member.”

Rosvisser slowly turned around, her smooth, white feet stepping onto the carpet as she walked over to sit beside Leon.

“But isn’t Helena in the Youth Dragon Division? Doesn’t she have her own test to complete?”

“Oh, each teacher in the Youth Dragon Division receives specific teaching tasks for their students at the start of the semester. As long as the tasks are completed during the semester, there’s no strict timing. Helena’s outdoor test is scheduled for next month, so she’s free to accompany Noa on Monday.”

Rosvisser nodded. “Such a complicated curriculum. It sounds troublesome. When I was in school, it wasn’t this intricate.”

Leon chuckled, patting her shoulder. “It’s probably because St. Heath’s Academy has been placing more emphasis on family education in recent years. That’s why they’ve introduced tests and activities involving families.”

“Hmm… that makes sense. This test will also be a good opportunity to observe Mevis up close,” Rosvisser mused, furrowing her delicate brows as she stared at her feet.

“Honestly, when I first met Mevis, I had the same uneasy feeling you mentioned. But back then, I didn’t give it much thought because she was just sparring at the academy. Now that I think about it, if we both feel something’s off about her, it can’t just be a coincidence.”

She sighed and scratched her forehead in frustration. “The problem is, I don’t have the authority to investigate her background. On the surface, everything seems clean, and her clan wasn’t connected to either the Silver Dragons or the Red Dragons before their division dissolved…”

Leon nodded thoughtfully. “Perhaps it’s related to the relatively calm situation we’re in now. Since Old Konstantin’s outburst, Shadow’s forces have been quiet. It feels like the calm before the storm.”

“Exactly. In these still waters, Mevis’s presence feels like a stone breaking the surface—not causing much of a ripple, but noticeable enough to draw attention. The more we look at her, the more curious we become,” Rosvisser agreed.

Leon leaned back, propping himself up on the bed with his hands. “Well, this test gives us a chance to observe her closely. Besides, it’s a good distraction—it’s easier than picking up a new hobby.”

Rosvisser chuckled, covering her mouth. “You’re such a restless fool.”

Her laughter froze as she turned to glare at Leon. “Restless doesn’t mean you can put your hand on my tail. Move it.”

“Oh, come on, it’s muscle memory,” Leon said, grinning mischievously.

“Move it!”

“Nope.”

“I’m counting to three—three, two, one—ah!”

A faint purple glow appeared at the base of Rosvisser’s tail.

Leon ignored her protests, slowly toying with the cool, soft, and irresistibly smooth scales of her tail. “There’s nothing in the world as fun as playing with a dragon tail! I could do this all year!”

Rosvisser’s breath quickened, her cheeks flushing a deep red. Her heaving chest and captivating gaze made her allure undeniable. “I-I don’t know what you’re talking about… Let me go, you jerk!”

“Don’t tell me you still don’t understand this after eight years of marriage, my Queen,” Leon teased.

“Hmph, I don’t understand anything! And I won’t be at your mercy… Damn it!”

Before she could finish, Leon tightened his grip on her tail, causing her body to weaken as she collapsed into his arms.

Leon gently brushed a strand of hair from her flushed face, his fingers tracing the heat of her cheek before resting at her lips.

Rosvisser opened her mouth, biting his finger, then slowly, deliberately, drew it into her mouth.

From the moment she stepped barefoot into the room and began changing into her nightgown, the couple had both known where this was heading.

Leon didn’t force her, and she wasn’t truly resisting. It was simply a playful dance between husband and wife.

As Rosvisser’s warm, soft tongue caressed his finger, the dragon markings on Leon’s chest began to glow faintly. He withdrew his hand and leaned forward, capturing her lips in a passionate kiss.

The newly donned nightgown soon found itself on the floor, and once again, her delicate, flawless feet would become the focus of her husband’s attention for the night.

Two days later, Monday morning arrived. A massive black dragon landed in the front courtyard of the Silver Dragon Sanctuary.

“Noa~!” Helena called cheerfully, kneeling on the dragon’s back as she waved to Noa, who was already prepared with her gear.

Noa waved back and adjusted her backpack. “Mom, we’re heading out now!”

“Alright, stay safe, and don’t overdo it. Let your dad handle the tough stuff,” Rosvisser instructed.

“Got it, Mom!” Noa replied with a smile, waving goodbye as she jogged toward the black dragon.

Leon, having finished his preparations, walked up to Rosvisser’s side. Gazing at the scene before them, he muttered, “I heard that, by the way—about me handling the tough stuff.”

Rosvisser smirked, crossing her arms. “Well, I can’t say you’re always reliable, but when you’re with me, you certainly put in the effort.”

Leon’s face turned red, and instead of responding, he hurried toward the courtyard.

Rosvisser chuckled at his retreating figure. “Take good care of Noa and Helena!” she called out.

“Got it!” Leon replied, raising his arm to flash her an "OK" sign without looking back.

Once the two little dragon girls were seated securely on the black dragon’s back, they each grabbed one of Leon’s wrists and pulled him aboard.

“All set?” the black dragon asked, turning its head to check.

“We’re ready, Teacher Mevis. Let’s go,” Noa confirmed.

“Very well.”

The black dragon flapped its wings, lifting off the ground. Before ascending fully, Mevis called out to Rosvisser, “Don’t worry, Your Majesty. I’ll take good care of them.”

Rosvisser nodded slightly. “Thank you, Teacher Mevis.”

With that, the black dragon soared into the sky. Rosvisser watched them disappear into the clouds, narrowing her eyes slightly as she murmured, “Take care, Leon, Noa.”
