Are you sure you want to go through with this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sure, Sis. I can’t wait any longer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I’ll go make the preparations.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm-hmm. I’ll go prepare the grilled steak.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did you say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, uh, nothing! Moon said she’s going to get the clothes ready!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour later, in the backyard of the Silver Dragon Sanctuary, the maids had gathered at the request of Noa and Moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had no idea what the two little princesses were planning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe because the king and queen had been away for days, the girls were lonely and wanted some company to play with them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entertaining and playing with the princesses was part of the maids’ duties, of course, but the bonfire in the yard and the grilled steak Moon was holding stirred up some… *interesting* memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last time they had gone to this much trouble was for a “memorial” for the prince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The princesses had declared that their father was gone, had left, and would never come back, leading them to hold a grand—*funeral* for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this time… were they going to repeat the same thing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Milan leaned over to Anna and whispered, “Are we supposed to cry later, Head Maid?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna crossed her arms and sighed. “Just follow the princesses’ lead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...Alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What about the youngest princess? Is someone looking after her?” Anna asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Sherry’s with her. Since she’s not officially part of the maids, we asked her to help take care of the little one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna nodded and glanced up at the clear sky. “By my count, the queen and prince should be returning soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Milan raised an eyebrow. “Do you know what they were doing while they were away?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna shrugged. “Probably just found a quiet place to enjoy some alone time after the pregnancy. Just my guess—don’t go spreading it around.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Milan understood the subtext and giggled softly. “Got it, Head Maid.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they chatted, Noa walked over to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Highness,” Anna greeted her respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, everyone can start crying now,” Noa said, her face completely serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the maids could react, Moon had already burst into tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Waaaah~~ Daddy, Mommy, why aren’t you back yet?! Did you abandon Moon?! Waaaah~~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna nudged Milan in the arm, signaling her to follow suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Milan panicked for a moment but quickly caught on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah! …Oh, uh, Your Majesty! Your Highness! You left so suddenly~~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Milan’s guidance, the other maids began to play along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their exaggerated wails echoed throughout the yard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna closed her eyes, sighing internally. She, too, wished she could find a quiet place like the queen and be left in peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, Your Majesty~ How could you leave behind your three lovely daughters, Your Majesty~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Without you, how will the Silver Dragons carry on, my Queen~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were plenty of tears for the queen, but not as many for the prince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not that he was completely ignored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Prince! You’ve done so much for the Silver Dragon clan, how could you just leave us like this?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We were counting on you and the queen to restore the glory of the Silver Dragons, Prince——!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One maid in particular got so into it, crying her heart out, that she didn’t even notice two figures standing behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I counted,” Rosvisser said in a calm voice. “About twenty-three maids cried for me, and less than five cried for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon threw his hands up in disbelief. “Is this really something to compete over?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosvisser let out a proud little huff. “I don’t care.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon waved it off, not in the mood to argue over something so trivial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon maid, hearing their conversation, quickly swallowed her sobs and choked back the eulogy that had been on the tip of her tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked left and saw the queen, holding back laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she looked right and saw the prince, whose face was dark with exasperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh~~ Got it. Time for the next phase—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The princesses’ love has touched the heavens, and now the prince and queen have returned to life~!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Familiar words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait a second, didn’t I say this last time too? The dragon maid mused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing that the stars of this “memorial” had returned to life, the other maids also breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stepped aside in unison, creating a path for the two “resurrected” royals to walk through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon and Rosvisser exchanged glances and, in perfect sync, strode forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching their daughters, the family of four stood there, staring at one another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noa’s face flashed with a hint of surprise, but she quickly composed herself, returning to her usual calm demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Moon, she was her usual self:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Daddy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Does this mean I can eat your offerings again?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...Sure, but don’t eat too much fried food for breakfast. Just this once.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yay!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon turned to Anna. “Take Moon to the dining hall.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Your Highness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna stepped forward and led Moon away from the “funeral” scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other maids, at Rosvisser’s command, also dispersed to return to their duties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The backyard was now left with just Leon, Rosvisser, Noa, and the remnants of the bonfire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon bent down and scooped Noa into his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry, Noa. Daddy and Mommy had to leave for a bit on short notice, so we didn’t get the chance to let you know. Did we worry you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noa, unlike her younger sister, was not so easily placated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some things needed to be explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, not in too much detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noa kept her face stoic but shook her head. “It’s okay, Daddy. Did you finish what you needed to do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon hesitated. Her question hit a nerve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noa couldn’t possibly know that he had gone back to the Empire to deal with a traitor—if she did, that would mean she knew her father was a human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this question must have come from her just assuming it was related to the “emergency” Leon mentioned earlier, without any deeper meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, the question stirred something in him. Leon pressed his lips together, forcing down the fleeting sense of guilt, and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, it’s all taken care of.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noa, being young, couldn’t easily tell the difference between truth and lies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though her heart was filled with confusion, after a moment of hesitation, she chose to trust her father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She trusted his honesty and his ability to handle things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s good,” Noa nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosvisser came over, and Leon passed Noa into her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noa snuggled against her mother’s soft embrace, wrapping her arms around Rosvisser’s slender neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The queen nuzzled her nose against her eldest daughter’s soft cheek. “It must’ve been hard looking after Moon while we were gone. You’ve done so well…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at the bonfire in the yard, where their photos were framed on a nearby rack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Sigh...*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a technical standpoint, the “funeral” was done quite well—almost grand in its presentation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But from the perspective of the two people it was for, it was a bit… strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially for Leon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Attending your own funeral twice (without even getting to eat any of the offerings) certainly put him in a very exclusive category.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosvisser chuckled to herself and added, “Thank you for organizing such a grand ceremony.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Queens have to be a little more diplomatic with their words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I did it to keep Moon distracted. You’ve been gone for five days, and if you didn’t come back soon, she was going to start missing you both.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I was starting to miss you too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Noa couldn’t quite bring herself to say that out loud. Emotional growth is a slow process, after all. You can’t expect the current Noa to express herself as clearly as Moon does.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in this way, she was very much like her parents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Noa, you’ve really grown up. You’re already coming up with creative ways to entertain your sister,” Rosvisser praised without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if those ways were… a bit too creative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, the end goal was met. Moon had been successfully distracted and hadn’t spent the past few days pestering to see her parents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noa’s face turned a little pink at the compliment, and she nuzzled closer to her mother’s cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mother’s skin was usually cool to the touch, which made it extra comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m hungry, Mommy. Let’s go eat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosvisser glanced back at Leon. “Shall we?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The family of three headed toward the back door of the sanctuary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosvisser carried Noa as they walked ahead, with Leon following behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noa rested her chin on her mother’s shoulder, allowing her to see Leon behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few steps, she slowly raised her arm and extended her small hand toward Leon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understanding immediately, Leon reached out and gently clasped her tiny fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon thought it was just a sweet moment of father-daughter bonding, but when he looked up at Noa’s face, he noticed something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her expression and eyes were a mix of emotions—confusion, worry, uncertainty, even a hint of anxiety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when she saw Leon’s gaze, Noa quickly masked her feelings, replacing them with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, a child’s eyes can’t lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon had always thought that Rosvisser was the only one who could silently communicate with him through just a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, he could see it clearly in his daughter’s eyes—a silent question:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You won’t leave me, will you?\u003C\u002Fp>",1583,"2026-06-06T15:09:44.609Z",1,"novelbin.me","9ce995e77f3eb67a4a76bfae1545404cb0d72dc3af627fa77229048d80380c81","shut-up-malevolent-dragon-i-don-t-want-to-have-a-chapter-195","shut-up-malevolent-dragon-i-don-t-want-to-have-a-chapter-193",914,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshut-up-malevolent-dragon-i-don-t-want-to-have-a-cover.jpg"]
