Noa had always had this self-perception of âIâm already a big girl.â
And after the battle that awareness became even clearer.
Reality had proven it tooâshe, who possessed the purest Primordial Power and could activate Primordial Mode at will, truly could help Leon.
The couple quietly watched their eldest daughter. The firelight flickered across her still-young face, but her gaze was full of determination.
The two exchanged a glance, and Rosvisser gave Leon a nearly imperceptible nod.
Leon immediately understood.
He looked back at Noa and said:
âThis time, Noa will come with Mom and Dad.â
âReally, Daddy?â
âOf course itâs real.â
âThatâs great, Daddy! Youâre the best!!â
Cheering, Noa leapt into Leonâs arms and gave him a big hug.
âAhemââ
The gentle cough came from Rosvisser beside them.
Noa immediately changed her tune:
âMommyâs the best too! Mommy and Daddy are both amazing~â
The queen covered her mouth and laughed, glancing sideways at Leon, only to find him looking back at her with a rather smug expression.
That look clearly said, âShe praised me first, hehe.â
Rosvisser snorted and rolled her eyes at him with a smile, choosing to ignore it.
âOnce the war begins, Iâll leave the daily internal affairs of the Silver Dragon Clan to Father. Mother, Father, you both should also stay with the clan for nowâitâll be good to keep Moon and the others company.â
Naturally, the two elders had no objections to Rosvisserâs suggestion.
Now, with two granddaughters by their side, they had even more reason to stay.
Frankly, Leon thought Vida and Cecilia shouldâve done this a long time ago.
Theyâd been running around for hundreds of years for the sealing of the Void Gate, hadnât even been part of their daughtersâ growthânow that there was finally a chance to truly spend time with their family, how could they possibly miss it?
âItâs still early. Moon and the others should still be awake.â
Obediently, Noa said, âIâll go call them and bring them to meet Grandpa and Grandma?â
âThatâs fine. But if your sisters are already asleep, just wait until tomorrow.â
Rosvisser immediately said.
âGot it, Mom.â
With that, Noa turned and ran toward the temple.
Cecilia watched Noaâs retreating figure. After a while, she retracted her gaze, looking slightly uneasy.
Isha, sharp as ever, noticed and asked:
âWhatâs wrong, Mother?â
âAh, I⊠Iâm just a little nervous. What if the granddaughters donât get along with us?â
Hearing this, Rosvisser smiled and reassured her:
âThat wonât happen, Mother. Moon and the others⊠theyâre very sensible children.â
Even so, even the usually calm and composed Vida seemed a little flustered. He rubbed his fingers together, touched his lips, and said:
âThen⊠can someone maybe briefly tell us about the kidsâ personalities at this hour?â
âOf course.â
Rosvisser, when it came to her babies, knew them like the back of her hand. And when it was time to praise them, her face couldnât hide the pride at all.
âYouâve already been around our eldest for a while now, so you must have noticedâsheâs a girl with a strong sense of responsibility. A bit mature for her age, and yes, a bit headstrong too.
But Leon and I donât see that as a flaw. As long as sheâs guided well, her future self will definitely become an outstanding warrior.
And in fact, the future Noa does live up to the word âoutstanding.â
The second daughter âMoonâ her and Noah's personalities and mental states are very different. She loves to slack off and play dead, but she still manages to do what needs to be done and learn what needs to be learned.â
Rosvisser continued:
âSometimes sheâs adorably clueless, other times sheâs surprisingly clever. Oh, and sheâs very clingy with her sister. Maybe itâs because Noa is so strong and assertive that Moon can get away with being lazy in â NĐŸvĐ”lŃgÒ»t â (Only on NĐŸvĐ”lŃgÒ»t) peace.â
Hearing Rosvisserâs description of Moon, Vida couldnât help but glance at his wife and thought silently:
âA prodigy at solving cases? So this is what they call âskipping a generationâ?â
But Cecilia, being right in the middle of it, didnât notice at all how Moonâs ditzy nature mirrored her own. She just kept listening intently, completely entranced.
âAnd then? And then?â
She looked up at her husband with sparkling eyes, like a little girl listening to a bedtime story, eagerly waiting for Rosvisser to continue.
âHmm⊠the fourth daughter, Muse, sheâs the youngest. Really loves music and plays an important role in the âsummoning ritual.ââ
Ceciliaâs eyes went wide. âSummoning ritual? What summoning ritual?â
Rosvisser scratched her head and let out a dry laugh. âAhahaha⊠about that, Mother, youâll find out later. Itâs hard to explain in words.â
âHmm⊠okay. Wait a minuteââ
She started counting on her fingers, mentally doing the math, then asked seriously:
âEldest daughter Noa, third daughter Moon, fourth daughter Muse⊠what about the third?â
âOh, the thirdâŠâ
Leon laughed awkwardly. âHer full name is Aurora, nickname Little Light. As for her⊠itâs a bit tricky to explain. Youâll see in a minute.â
Cecilia raised a brow and leaned back slightly.
âSo mysterious⊠then she must be super sensible, super well-behaved, and super lovable~â
Isha nodded wildly. âYes, Mother, yes! Thatâs exactly how she is!â
âYay~ I love kids like that the most~â
...
...
âWhy is this kid looking at me like Iâm a pile of firewood? I donât want to like her anymore!â
Cecilia puffed up her cheeks in frustration and glanced to the sideâonly to see Vida already petting Moon with one hand and Muse with the other, gently stroking the little dragon girlsâ
âWonderful. Even better.â
Leon quickly and stealthily jabbed Auroraâs tail and leaned down to whisper in her ear, cupping his mouth:
âYour grandma just almost mistook you for your second sister, but sheâs still smart. Hurry up and go give her a hug.â
Aurora changed her expression instantly, jogged over and said in a syrupy voice:
âGrandma hug hug~~ Aurora was just a bit sleepy earlier~~â
Her voice was so sweet that Ceciliaâs heart instantly melted.
The next second, she didnât even pretend anymoreâshe bent down and scooped Aurora into her arms, giving her a huge whiff.
âMmm!â
So fragrant!
While Cecilia was burying her face in her cotton-candy hair, Aurora slowly turned her head to look at her dad. That look clearly said: âYep, no doubt about itâdefinitely my second sisterâs biological grandma!â
Leon: "Sheâs your second sisterâs grandma, so what? Sheâs not yours?"
Aurora: "She is⊠but thinking about how Iâll have to coax two second sisters in the future, suddenly life feels bleak."
Leon: "Look on the bright sideânow that youâve got a grandma, maybe youâll have double the entertainment to watch, right?"
Aurora: "â Ïâ !!"
âDad, have I ever told you youâre a genius?â
Looking at his third daughterâs beaming smile, Leon chuckled to himself smugly.
âYouâre good at coaxing wives? Well, arenât you pretty easy to coax yourself. Old wives are still the most cunning.â
Your old man was already playing mind games before you were even conceived!
