No need to beat around the bush.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosvisser had dressed in a sleek and simple outfit today, opting for pants that hugged her long legs—usually hidden beneath her dresses—accentuating her alluring and curvaceous figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, she didn’t intentionally dress to be seductive, but with her body, it just turned out that way no matter what she wore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Leon's shameless response, Rosvisser gave him a side-eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A date? Dream on. Anna, along with some maids and guards, will be joining us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, so this patrol of the border wasn’t just an excuse for a secret rendezvous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon shrugged, “Then you all can go. Why bother inviting me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As the Prince Consort of the Silver Dragons, you should make your presence known once in a while.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No thanks, I’m staying home to watch the kids.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A real man born under heaven shouldn’t spend all his time looking after children,” Rosvisser continued, trying to persuade him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Leon, having learned from past experiences, was now largely immune to Rosvisser’s goading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m staying home with the kids today,” he said in a deliberately lazy tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon thought that by making his stance clear, Rosvisser would give up on taking him along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to his surprise, the dragon queen displayed unusual patience this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve been cooped up at home for too long,” Rosvisser said. “You should go out and get some fresh air. Staying inside all the time is probably why you caught a cold last time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bringing up the cold was a sore point for Leon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The last time I got sick was because you locked me out on the balcony until the middle of the night.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s because you couldn’t keep your mouth shut. Regardless, you’re coming with me today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, now she was just being unreasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Rosvisser had kindly persuaded him, Leon might have gone along with her. But with this attitude, it was clear she was commanding him, not asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little dragon, you're asking for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon plopped down on the sofa in the living room, planting himself there. “Not going.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them were at an impasse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosvisser opened her mouth, about to continue \"threatening\" him, but then she paused, her expression shifting as she changed tactics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come on, just go with me. Just think of it as keeping me company.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon froze at those words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Keeping you company,” huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, so all the nonsense earlier about being the Silver Dragon prince and the cold from staying inside too long—those were just excuses for this single sentence: *Just keep me company*.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well played, Silver Dragon Queen. That’s exactly what I expected from you—unable to express yourself directly, full of pride and stubbornness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon chuckled smugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, since you put it that way, I guess I’ll go with you. But don’t misunderstand, I just realized that it’s probably good for me to make an appearance in front of your people once in a while.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How typical of you, Cassmod—easily swayed by soft words, but never admitting it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Rosvisser didn’t bother to point out his little charade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bursting his bubble would feel good in the moment, but letting him maintain his tough act was far more satisfying in the long run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting ready, the couple, accompanied by Anna and a few maids and guards, headed for the border.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inspecting the border was one of Rosvisser’s regular monthly duties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Technically, as the queen of a vast territory, she didn’t need to oversee things personally every month. Delegating the task to trusted subordinates would suffice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like expecting a company CEO to visit the security booth every month to chat with the guards about how many trespassers they had kicked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not realistic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Rosvisser was an absolute workaholic who insisted on managing everything herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon was already well aware of this side of her, so he wasn’t surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What truly impressed him about Rosvisser was that despite her heavy workload, she still managed to balance her family life perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was their three daughters or her so-called \"fake husband,\" she handled it all with grace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even more impressive, she never brought the stress from work home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon had never seen her return home in a bad mood, sulking or ignoring everyone because of work pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sounded simple, but it was a difficult thing to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, no one could guarantee that they wouldn’t be overwhelmed by pressure or emotions, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Rosvisser somehow managed to do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, what a remarkable woman. And to think she’s my wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a burden (he stifled a laugh).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s start here,” Rosvisser said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Your Majesty,” her servants responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sensation of descending from the sky pulled Leon out of his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several silver dragons landed gracefully on a lush, grassy area, with a forest stretching out ahead. This was the edge of Silver Dragon territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon dismounted from Rosvisser’s back as the dragons transformed into their human forms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosvisser walked beside him as they stepped forward, Anna and the others flanking them on either side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group crossed the grass and entered the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t long before Leon noticed the hidden guards stationed in the towering trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were quite a few of them—clearly, Rosvisser had increased security after Constantine’s last attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon scanned the area, then leaned in and whispered, “There are about 27 sentries in this area, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosvisser raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised. “Yes, I didn’t expect you to notice them all. Looks like I’ll need to add more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just adding more people won’t help. Focusing on improving their camouflage techniques would be better.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon had quite the insight when it came to such matters—like a master thief becoming a security expert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosvisser took his advice seriously. “Noted, I’ll look into it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their voices were quiet. Leon never pointed out her small mistakes in front of her subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, one had to give the queen her due respect in public.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About two hours later, the group neared the edge of the forest, where Silver Dragon territory ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the edge of the woods, Leon spotted the decapitated head of Constantine, mounted between two massive trees. It swayed slightly in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a year had passed since his death. The dragon’s scales and horns had peeled away, leaving only one dull, fragile horn, which looked as though it could snap at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon approached Constantine’s head, his expression neutral as he studied the massive remains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long pause, he snorted softly and muttered, “Siding with the Empire was your biggest mistake, Constantine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosvisser joined him, glancing at the head before turning her eyes back to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s this? Reminiscing about your victory?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She spoke quietly to ensure Anna and the others couldn’t overhear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon grinned. “An opponent like him isn’t worth remembering.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? And what kind of opponent would be worth your time?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon shifted his gaze from Constantine’s head to meet Rosvisser’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stared at each other, saying everything without words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would have been a romantic moment, but Rosvisser quickly shut it down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph, as if a mere prisoner like me could ever hope to hang my head at your door.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon rolled his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder I haven’t confessed to you yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just wait. You’ll never hear me confess, not even at the end of the world, you stubborn dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After paying respects to Constantine’s remains, the group reached the boundary of their territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond it, the land grew harsh and barren, with sandstorms and rocky deserts stretching into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing unusual here. Let’s head to the next area,” Rosvisser said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Your Majesty,” the servants responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Leon remained where he stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosvisser, noticing that he hadn’t followed, looked back. “What is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon slowly crouched down, staring at the line where the grassy field met the desert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boundary was so sharp, it looked as though it had been sliced by a blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This border is way too clean-cut...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon mused as he stood back up, his back to Rosvisser. “You should assign more patrols in this area.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosvisser’s eyes flickered, and after a moment, she nodded. “Alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon stood at the precise division between grass and sand, his eyes narrowing as he gazed out at the swirling dust beyond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve got a bad feeling about this.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1429,"2026-06-06T15:09:44.609Z",1,"novelbin.me","2060edba42530c6b0cc5794bef8207346dd5fde34b37e0587866b6d6f1834e46","shut-up-malevolent-dragon-i-don-t-want-to-have-a-chapter-249","shut-up-malevolent-dragon-i-don-t-want-to-have-a-chapter-247",914,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshut-up-malevolent-dragon-i-don-t-want-to-have-a-cover.jpg"]
