Why don’t you smile a little?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora smirked at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon rolled his eyes, silently vowing that from now on he would never again spill this little black-hearted puffball’s embarrassing past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh right, Dad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mischief-dragon's gaze slid past her elder sisters to fix on Hera’s back up ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So is this pretty auntie... like, one of our relatives or something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Auntie, huh...?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Technically, by seniority, you and your sisters should be calling her Grandma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But among dragons—and most long-lived races, really—seniority wasn’t exactly something with a rigid system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, absurdly long lifespans often meant that age and generation didn’t line up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even among humans, who barely lived a hundred years, it wasn’t unusual for a 30-year-old to call someone in their teens—or even a newborn—Uncle or Auntie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the more reason for long-lived clans to abandon strict ranking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Melkvey family this sort of thing was the norm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon’s foster mother Dia was the elder sister of Lott and Charlotte, who were siblings of Claudia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claudia’s daughter was Helena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So by seniority, Leon and Helena would be equals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if Leon wanted to marry Helena...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well—if they actually followed such a rigid seniority system, things really would go to hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So among them, there was no fixed rule. People went by whatever was convenient or felt natural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon didn’t even know Hera’s exact age. Judging by her appearance, she looked around the same as his teacher’s wife—like a stunning woman in her thirties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Aurora calling her “Auntie” wasn’t an issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as for whether she was family...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora stopped walking and looked at her dad in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not yet? What’s that supposed to mean, Dad?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she fell quiet and muttered under her breath,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why does it feel like no matter what happens in this family, it always veers off in a weird direction...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon chuckled helplessly and patted her on the head, explaining:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because... it’s not just me—Hera-senpai probably hasn’t decided what to make of our relationship either. So right now, we’re not technically 'relatives' in the traditional sense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, then added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But it seems like Aurora likes her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That much was clear from Aurora and Hera’s earlier interaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Leon’s warning had been... a bit much, the two of them had still managed to perform a full “Why are you chasing me \u002F Why are you running” act on their first meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if you knew Aurora’s personality—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were someone she didn’t like, or someone boring or annoying, she wouldn’t bother engaging with them at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact that she wanted to interact meant she liked Hera.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Leon said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My little dragon likes Hera.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course I do. I’ve always liked pretty aunties—you know that, Dad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember when you were little, you had a dream to get hugged by every pretty auntie in the world?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon laughed and drew in a quick breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as you like her. I just wonder how your mom’s conversation with Hera is going.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm... they’re probably talking about something serious and proper.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon nodded. \"I think so too. By the way, Hera-senpai used to be a leader of her own tribe~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then she and Mom are probably swapping experiences! Looks like we were right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yup, exactly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then maybe they’re talking about politics, leadership, responsibility and—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really? That kind of plant extract really works for whitening?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It does, senpai. I used to work late all the time, and my skin got terrible. But that serum really helped—slowly brought it back. I totally recommend it~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ooh I need to write that down. Anything else, Rosvisser? You really seem like a pro when it comes to skincare and beauty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not that much, senpai. Do you have any specific concerns?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Um... hydration? Got anything for that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure do, senpai!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon narrowed his eyes slightly, watching the silhouettes of his wife and his... mom?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Man, look how in sync they are. Truly worthy of their respective clans.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora nodded. \"Totally, totally.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing dead center of the formation, able to hear both her mother and Hera’s conversation and her dad and Aurora’s, Noa silently turned her face aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh... you’re all so close, and yet so far.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The overachiever princess gazed at the sky, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, as the sun finished setting, they left the academy and headed to a restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, Hera turned to Rosvisser.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought you'd be just like me—nervous about such a formal meeting. But after talking with you... you’re so composed. As expected of the Silver Dragon Queen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosvisser gave a modest smile and shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It doesn’t really have much to do with being a queen, senpai. I’m not nervous because—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused, the words caught in her throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Rosvisser had wanted to say: Because I’m treating this like meeting ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) my in-laws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then Hera would ask: Meeting your in-laws and you're not nervous? That’s even more impressive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Rosvisser would reply: No, no. I mean I’m treating this as the meeting—with you as the in-law. And I’ve already met Leon’s family many times before. So I’m calm. I’ve practiced. I’m good at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That little internal fiction was how she eased her nerves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even though she wasn’t really nervous anymore, that explanation was definitely too silly. Too off-topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Rosvisser chose a different path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And why is that?\" Hera’s blue eyes sparkled with curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosvisser smiled softly, the corners of her lips gently lifting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because I see you, senpai, as a long-lost elder of the family. And when you’re reunited with your own people after so long, what’s there to be nervous about? Don’t you think so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Hera’s pupils trembled faintly. She murmured the keyword to herself:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder... huh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lowered her gaze slightly, as if something had settled in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosvisser didn’t press further. She simply glanced back toward Leon while Hera was lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That earlier response had been deliberate—planting the seed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder” was the word she’d chosen to tell Hera:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Melkvey family is ready to welcome you. You’re already one of us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew Leon had been worried about his relationship with Hera for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as his wife, it was her duty to help him complete his life.\u003C\u002Fp>",1181,"2026-06-06T15:10:09.401Z",1,"novelbin.me","a53d77921eef1d22b064f02c6f37b99be21d0d4fff2b3e2944be792efa3190c4","shut-up-malevolent-dragon-i-don-t-want-to-have-a-chapter-823","shut-up-malevolent-dragon-i-don-t-want-to-have-a-chapter-821",914,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshut-up-malevolent-dragon-i-don-t-want-to-have-a-cover.jpg"]
