Which meant that, unlike the old days, Leon and the others wouldn't have to crawl under the carriage to sneak past the guards at the gate anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>General Leon was now a national hero, the sole spiritual leader of the Empire. Just coming back home with his wife and kids without expecting a welcome parade was already being modest~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several kilometers away from the Empire's entrance, in the forest, Leon finished regrouping with his daughters, then lifted each of them one by one into the carriages prepared long ago by the Lionheart Order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Leon still wanted to conduct an investigation while returning to the Empire, so to avoid unnecessary commotion, he decided to bring the girls into the city using specially arranged carriages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to the Lionheart Order's privilege, the guards at the gate naturally wouldn't perform a detailed inspection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were two carriages in total. Leon, Moon, Aurora, and Cecilia sat in one, while the others rode in the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the carriage, Moon was still practicing how to consciously retract her tail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Moon puffed up her cheeks and butt, clenching her tiny pink fists as though every cell in her body was exerting effort. But every time she pulled in her tail, it popped right back out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After repeating this several times, Moon gave up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daddy... do we really have to hide our tails just to come here and play...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moon flopped onto Leon's lap with dizzy mosquito-repellent-spiral eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon gave a half-helpless smile and scratched his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, the people living here don't have tails, after all...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Leon looked at Aurora beside him, calm as always.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aurora, can you already control your tail freely?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little pink-haired girl nodded and, in the next second, retracted her tail with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then hurry up and teach your second sister a few tips!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora blinked, crossed her arms over her chest, and after a moment of thought, said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Dad, you've hidden your tail for so many years, clearly you're the most experienced one. If anyone should be teaching, it should be you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you considered the possibility that your dad never had a tail to begin with!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Leon was about to come up with an excuse to muddle through, Aurora muttered again,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speaking of which, I still don't get why we came here to play. Big Sister seems to know something, but she always looks like she has no intention of telling me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being separated from their daughters for several months, suddenly announcing a trip to the Human Empire was bound to raise Aurora's suspicions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon could only let a bit of the truth slip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This family trip wasn't just for the girls to broaden their horizons. In truth, Leon and Rosvisser had another objective prepared in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, it seemed the key to accomplishing that objective was still Aurora.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daddy! Aurora! I did it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moon's excited cheer interrupted Leon's thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his gaze to his daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, Moon had successfully retracted her little tail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Leon had often seen his daughters tail-less when they were sleeping, he had never seen them like this-hopping around, alive and lively, without tails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I gotta say, suddenly not having a tail does feel kind of weird.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But still cute, all the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I-I did it, Daddy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moon took two steps forward, just about to proudly show off, but then her foot slipped and she toppled to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Leon reacted quickly and caught her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why can't you stand steady...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After losing the tail, I have to readjust my sense of balance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora said, \"But it doesn't take long. Just walk a few steps and you'll get used to it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moon nodded, \"Oh, okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space inside the carriage wasn't huge, but it was enough for Moon to pace back and forth a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few loops, she got used to balancing without the tail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon finally felt at ease and sat back in his seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The carriage continued forward. At one point, it stopped briefly, and they could hear the coachman and Empire guards chatting outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since it was a Lionheart Order-authorized carriage, the guards let them through after a brief exchange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the carriage window, Moon looked out at the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The buildings were more tightly packed than those in Silver Dragon territory, and the crowd was dense. She was dazzled by the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our first stop is the Imperial Plaza.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting inside the carriage, Leon took out the \"check-in route map\" Rebecca had sent him via letter-dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first sightseeing spot marked on it was the Imperial Plaza.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Moon excitedly leaned in, eyes full of anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daddy, what's at the Imperial Plaza?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, it says here there's a really, really big statue-like the one of Noa at Saint Heath Academy-built to commemorate the Empire's first monarch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow~ The first monarch? They must've been amazing! What do they look like?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow~ The first monarch looks exactly like Daddy~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon: \"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Th-this can't be right!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon clearly remembered that the last time he came to the Empire, the plaza still had the statue of the original monarch. How come it was replaced with one of him now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, Dad, when exactly did you secretly become the founding monarch of this country?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora raised the soul-piercing question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh, well... maybe... maybe your dad just has one of those common faces that happen to resemble someone famous?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom wouldn't fall for a guy with a common face.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora's tone remained calm as she cradled her head, staring at the life-sized statue in front of her that looked exactly like her father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe there are some differences after all. It might really just be a coincidence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Second Sister, let's go find Big Sister and Muse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay ~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two little dragon girls scampered off, giving Leon a moment to relax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a sigh of relief, but before he could catch up with them, a familiar voice suddenly rang out beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hi, Captain!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rebecca!! Are you trying to scare me to death!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unnoticed until just now, Rebecca stood at his side, right hand twirling a lollipop, left hand casually tucked into the pocket of her windbreaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the coat hem, her beautiful legs were wrapped in black thigh-high socks, creating an irresistible contrast with her short skirt-an absolute-zone that teased the imagination. The curves of her thighs were just right, and the proportions were perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crazy girl grinned again. \"Brought your wife, daughters, and even your in-laws along?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rosvisser's father didn't come. The Silver Dragon Sanctuary couldn't afford to leave all dragon-king-level combat strength unattended.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca nodded, \"Tsk, kinda touching, actually.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon gave an awkward laugh, complaining helplessly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Compared to the statue behind me, anything I do will look overly cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whose brilliant idea was this anyway?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the lollipop still in her mouth, Rebecca raised her arms and rested them behind her head, speaking lazily,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course it was the people!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After King Kant was overthrown, the royal family's standing plummeted. Just so happened you were the hero who saved everyone from fire and flood, so they began rallying behind you, spiritually. That statue was specially built to honor you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How is it? Pretty handsome, right!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon was drenched in cold sweat. \"Handsome... I guess it's kinda handsome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it was unexpected, General Leon won't miss a single chance to be complimented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca smiled faintly and looked toward the crowd at the plaza, speaking softly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right now, everyone sees you as the Empire's hope for the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon shook his head with a bitter smile. \"But I can't stay long in the Empire. To truly lead this country toward a new future will depend on you and the Lionheart Order, Rebecca.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really don't care much about power, do you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon curved his lips slightly. “My greatest wish is just for the people I care about to live peaceful, stable lives. That has nothing to do with power, so of course I don't care about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fair enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. She took the lollipop out of her mouth, then looked up and asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So did you bring the whole family here this time because you plan to come clean with the little dragon babies about your human identity?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To that, Leon nodded seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's something your sister-in-law and I talked about long ago. We just hadn't found the right moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca raised an eyebrow. \"The right moment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon said, \"Can't exactly «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» wait until we're quietly eating dinner and then suddenly say, 'Babies, actually, your old\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>man isn't a dragon.' Right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca got the idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, I get it. That'd definitely feel anticlimactic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So this Empire trip is the right moment, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This whole journey-just coming to the Empire is already odd. Moon and Muse might not think much, but Aurora will definitely\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>get suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She's sharp. She'll sense something is off. When she finally can't hold it in and asks, I'll tell them about my human identity then. That way, they'll have a bit of mental cushion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca's pupils flickered slightly. \"These days, even telling your own daughters the truth has to go through layers of detours. But you're right. The little ones need time to go from suspicion to acceptance, or else they really might just freeze up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly. It's a hassle, but their emotional reaction when they hear the truth matters a lot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca chuckled through her nose. \"You, of all people-someone who hates hassle-but when it comes to your wife or your kids, you're willing to do anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's not just talk about me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon stuck both hands in his pants pockets, eyes on the crowd like Rebecca's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"According to Nacho, Little Martin plans to confess to me during the Thousand Lanterns Festival next week.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did you offer Nacho for him to tell you that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A husband's favor-I pressed my pistol to his forehead and made him spill everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nacho is the acting head of the Lionheart Order, not a criminal, Rebecca.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know, but old habits die hard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So are you going to accept Martin's confession?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember this, Captain. A confession isn't a raffle-it's...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A promise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A confession isn't a raffle-it's a promise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon chewed on the meaning of Rebecca's words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, he smiled warmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What an adorable little one~ Can big sis give you a hug~'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice from not far away caught Leon and Rebecca's attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They turned toward the sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young girl was crouching in front of Moon and Aurora, trying to pull them into her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, Captain, even random passersby are getting charmed by your daughters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, what answered Rebecca wasn't Leon's usual smug reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a surge of killing intent and a flare of thunder magic energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's no passerby, Rebecca.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Then she's-\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Safina... what the hell is she doing here...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1884,"2026-06-06T15:10:08.395Z",1,"novelbin.me","5788ac29621d81e4cdcae191cd6e507fd4179cd5b9eaf5394a907c3c0c40f400","shut-up-malevolent-dragon-i-don-t-want-to-have-a-chapter-746","shut-up-malevolent-dragon-i-don-t-want-to-have-a-chapter-744",914,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshut-up-malevolent-dragon-i-don-t-want-to-have-a-cover.jpg"]
