But if Muse liked it and was willing to put in the effort, of course Leon would do everything he could to support her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like with music—something else she loved deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The six-winged dragonhawk flew past the border between dragon territory and the frontier of the Empire. After several more hours of flight, they finally reached human lands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca was already waiting with a carriage at the forest exit outside the Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Leon and Muse stepped out of the forest, she ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ waved an arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oi~~ Over here~~!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon, holding Muse’s hand, jogged over with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca glanced down at their feet and then looked behind them, realizing it was just the two of them. She asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where’s your wife and the pink-haired girl?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rosvisser took them to visit the Sea Dragon Tribe. Once I get Muse settled, I’ll head back to check on Master and the others.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon explained as he gave Muse a little pat on the head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muse immediately caught on, stepped forward, and bowed politely to Rebecca.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, Auntie Rebecca~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That soft, sweet greeting nearly melted Rebecca on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She crouched down and gave Muse’s cheeks a gentle pinch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Long time no see, little rascal. Missed me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm. I missed you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then give me a kiss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca turned her cheek toward the girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muse obediently gave her a light peck on the cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca then took a deep breath of the little girl’s unique milky scent and slowly let it out, sighing with heartfelt envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Raising a cute daughter really is the best.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When are you and that horse-faced guy having a baby?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haven’t gotten around to it. Too busy with Lionheart Order business every day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took Muse’s hand and said, \"Come on, let’s get on the carriage. I’ll take you two to get something to eat first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them boarded the carriage, the driver snapped the reins, and off they went into the Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the carriage, Muse sat obediently between her dad and Auntie Rebecca.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But every now and then, she sneaked little glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More specifically—she kept sneaking peeks at Rebecca’s hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A top-tier gunner would of course notice someone staring that blatantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the next time Muse glanced her way, Rebecca immediately grabbed the little girl’s head and pulled her face into the flat expanse of her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do I feel like someone keeps sneaking peeks at me, hmm hmm hmm? Is it because Auntie’s even prettier than before, and you just couldn’t help yourself?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she teased, she gently kneaded Muse’s plump baby cheeks with her fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with her face smooshed into Rebecca’s chest, Muse calmly asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why is it that even though you both have green hair, your personalities are so different...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little one had no logic to her words—she didn’t understand that hair color had nothing to do with personality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like how her eldest and third sisters had the exact same hair color, but her third sister had all the scheming brains her eldest sister lacked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then there was her pink-haired sister—who didn’t exactly pull punches with her words either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean green hair? This is noble cyan, thank you very much!\" Rebecca corrected her, offended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s obviously green...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cyan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Green.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cyan! Cyan! Cyan! Cyan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Green.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kid’s stubborn little mouth was exactly like her dad’s—clingy and relentless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain, teach your daughter properly. Start with basic color recognition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon’s expression darkened, then shifted as realization struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So... your hair is cyan? I always thought it was green...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twelve years as comrades, and this idiot never realized I had cyan hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Casmod—you absolute dumbass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon had already explained Muse’s purpose in coming to the Empire in a letter ahead of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the very next morning, Rebecca took Muse to Lionheart Order’s private shooting range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This place used to be the hunting grounds for a bunch of old farts from the Old Empire. Once Lionheart took over, we repurposed it into a training field.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca pointed at several gunners practicing in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ve trained quite a few excellent sharpshooters here over the years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused for a second, then added with a smirk:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, none of them are quite on my level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When you said in your letter you wanted to help Muse improve her shooting, I prepped a special training zone just for her. Come on, this way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca led them deeper into the facility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After passing through the outdoor range, they entered a large indoor hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was fully equipped—every type of ranged weapon imaginable: guns, crossbows, bows, and more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the corner sat a massive fire-element cannon—Rebecca’s favorite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the shooting platform, Rebecca said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pick the weapon you like best and give it a try.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The target distance is adjustable—just use the lever on your right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll watch your fundamentals first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muse nodded. \"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stepped forward and selected a bow that matched her size, then began aiming and shooting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Muse was focused, Rebecca quietly approached Leon and lowered her voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She really doesn’t have any magical attributes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon nodded. \"Yeah. The Elemental Awakening Ceremony didn’t detect anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca let out a soft sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Without elemental attributes, she won’t be able to learn any general magic. Focusing on specialized weaponry really is the only viable route.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon also looked a bit downcast, even a little guilty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I’d noticed sooner... maybe I could’ve changed something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca rolled her eyes at him, then gave his arm a light elbow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t blame yourself. No one could’ve predicted this. And besides...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked toward Muse and smiled in genuine approval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This kid has serious talent. Just from her warm-up, I can already tell—she’s got the makings of a real sharpshooter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s that saying again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh right~ When God closes one door, He opens a window.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m a staunch materialist, Rebecca. I don’t believe in gods.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t believe in gods because you’ve got Zeus and an unlimited trial pass. That’s got jack shit to do with materialism.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca shot him a look, then stepped forward and clapped her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nice work, Muse. Now try this crossbow. Still single-shot. Load the bolt here—yep, like that. Give it a shot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon watched the two of them from behind, lips curling unconsciously into a small smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though, Rebecca’s earlier joke did leave a mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon crossed his arms, leaned against the window, and looked off into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before heading back... I’ll stop by the Golden Thunder Clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1145,"2026-06-06T15:10:09.886Z",1,"novelbin.me","b0c4febf3a85772e07854646adf9191cfe4cd70b5113afc3ecf590cb086fa73e","shut-up-malevolent-dragon-i-don-t-want-to-have-a-chapter-867","shut-up-malevolent-dragon-i-don-t-want-to-have-a-chapter-865",914,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshut-up-malevolent-dragon-i-don-t-want-to-have-a-cover.jpg"]
