"Ah...Donkey? Your four-legged childhood sweetheart actually has a name." Rossweisse joked.
Leon also smiled, "Yes, of course."
"Since you've already given it a name, why not give it a nicer sound? Ah Lu is being too perfunctory."
The couple walked out of the teaching building and headed towards the playground.
The setting sun hung low in the sky, casting their shadows very long.
Occasionally, a few students running on the playground would pass by them, and there were also some people doing physical training on the grass.
Leon and Rossweisse walked slowly, enjoying this rare stroll.
“There was actually another name at the time.”
Rossweisse became interested and asked, "Oh? What is it?"
Leon took a deep breath and then said word by word:
"Elizabeth Summer Lawrence."
The queen paused, with a big question mark on her delicate and beautiful face.
Leon also stopped and turned to look at her, “Yes, when my master first told me this name, I had the same expression as you.”
Rossweisse covered her mouth and chuckled. "This name is not perfunctory, it even has a bit of aristocratic temperament."
"The 'Xia' in my middle name is taken from my master's wife's name, and Lawrence is my master's last name." Leon explained.
"And what about 'Elizabeth'?"
"It is said to be the name of the Imperial King's wife."
"It is said? Come on, you and your master have both worked in the Empire, how come you don't even know the name of the boss lady?"
Leon spread his hands. "Our queen is very mysterious. She only showed up on the day she married the king. No one has seen her since then. Even the name Elizabeth came from gossip."
"Oh, okay."
"Later, my master felt that it was inappropriate to call her 'Elizabeth' among a group of cows and sheep, so he changed it to 'Donkey'. Now, that's how my beloved donkey got its name."
Rossweisse curled her lips, rolled her eyes at him, crossed her arms, kicked her skirt and stepped forward, "You're so smooth-talking and you love donkeys."
Leon blinked, and then he immediately stepped forward and put his arm around Rossweisse's shoulders, saying with a smile,
"You are still my beloved wife."
Rossweisse twisted her shoulders symbolically, trying to break free from him. "Stay away, idiot."
But the dog man held her tightly and she couldn't break free or get rid of him.
Damn it, just tolerate him for now.
"Come to think of it, you haven't seen your beloved donkey in many years, right?" Rossweisse asked.
"Well...I haven't seen Ah Lu since the Empire sent me to your Silver Dragon territory a few years ago."
After a pause, Leon added, “I haven’t seen my master’s wife either.”
Rossweisse's heart was slightly moved, and she consoled him, "But at least you can see your master every once in a while. Didn't he always say that your master's wife is safe?"
"That's what I said, but I always felt it was a bit strange."
"strangeness?"
"Yeah. For so long, my master has never given me a recent photo of his wife."
Leon said, "Is it difficult for them to meet?"
Rossweisse raised her eyebrows and said, "It's possible."
"But my master said that Master's wife has returned to her parents' home. Even if it is difficult to see each other, it is impossible that so much time has passed and they can't even see each other, right?"
"Well...didn't your master also say that he doesn't have a good relationship with your master's wife's people?"
Leon sighed and shook his head. “I always feel that this old man hasn’t told me a lot of things, and he won’t tell me when I ask him. It’s hard to deal with.”
Rossweisse looked at his slightly sad face, but did not rush to comfort him like she did before.
Instead, she let go of the hands she was holding in her arms, letting them fall naturally, and then gently took Leon's hand.
It wasn't as ambiguous as holding hands tightly, it was just a gentle 'grip' of his fingers.
The back of the man's battle-hardened hands were covered with scars, but they were thick enough to make people feel safe.
"Everyone has secrets. You can't expect everyone to be open-hearted and tell you everything. That's unrealistic."
She then spoke slowly, her tone gentle, "Besides, your master has helped us a lot all along. Even if he is hiding something from us, it is definitely not to guard against us, or for anything else."
Leon nodded silently.
Of course he understands.
But after being kept secret for so long, I always feel a little unbalanced.
"Okay, adjust your mood. You still have to have dinner with your daughters later. You don't want your daughters to surround you and ask, 'Dad, why are you unhappy?' do you?"
The queen can be very sinister when she is being sinister, but she is also very effective when she is comforting others.
In fact, she seldom cares about other people's emotions, happiness or sadness. What does it have to do with her, the Silver Dragon Queen?
But who can blame this emo jade girl beside her for being her only captive?
Of course she should care a little.
Otherwise, if the little captive really suffers from Yu Yu syndrome, who would pour water for her to wash her feet?
It's all related, and she won't comfort anyone in vain.
Leon's low mood improved a little.
He responded to Rossweisse with a slight force on his right hand.
Rossweisse laughed inwardly, it seems that this is not Yuyu.
Very good, I will continue to ask him to pour me water for foot washing at night, hehe.
"You just said... everyone has secrets?"
"Yes."
"So is there any secret you haven't told me?"
Hearing this, Rossweisse suddenly stopped.
Leon took a few steps forward, but the two did not loosen their hands.
They raised their arms slightly, held each other's hands, stood on the playground, and looked into each other's eyes.
"Yes." Rossweisse said.
"what?"
She did not answer directly, but slowly raised her high heels, stepped lightly on the ground, and moved closer to Leon little by little.
Until she stood beside Leon, slightly tiptoed, close to his ear.
Leon's curiosity was also aroused, and he moved forward.
But the result is——
Rossweisse grabbed his ears.
"You really have to listen, idiot. Why should I tell you my secret? Is it still a secret if I tell you? Huh?"
"Mother Dragon, you are not honest!"
Rossweisse let go of his ear, put her hands behind her back, and took a few steps backwards, creating some distance between herself and Leon.
The light of the setting sun sprinkled on her hair, like a blood-red rose blooming in the Milky Way.
She made a face at Leon.
"I will tell you my secret when you confess to me."
Chapter 360: 60 Love at first sight & Hero saves beauty
After several rehearsals, the relationship between Leon and his wife and Claudia gradually became familiar.
After getting to know each other, the couple found that Claudia was not actually very difficult to get along with.
She is very smart, has high emotional intelligence, and her words and actions are impeccable.
It often feels easy to interact with such people.
The so-called ease does not mean that Claudia is backward compatible with Leon and Rossweisse.
Because when it comes to social skills, Rossweisse, the Silver Dragon Queen, is in no way inferior to Claudia.
Both sides are masters of playing tricks, and can predict what the other side is about to say or do with just a few words.
It just so happened that they were not in any hostile relationship, so there was no need to rack their brains to find out any tribal intelligence from each other's words.
So, under this premise, getting along with each other becomes very easy.
After lunch that day, Noah took a few little dragons to the Academic Affairs Office. Today was the day to finalize the program list because the official performance would begin in a week.
Only Leon and his wife and Claudia were left in the classroom.
The beautiful young woman sat elegantly opposite the couple, with a dignified manner and a hint of aristocratic laziness.
She folded her fingers together, rested her chin lightly on the back of her hands, crossed her legs, and looked at the couple sitting opposite her with interest.
"Congratulations, Leon, now you can openly call me 'Mother'." Claudia teased with a smile.
"Although it's still a little awkward, it's all for the children to get good grades, Claudia."
The way they addressed each other had changed from "Mr. Casmode, Miss Melkvi and Ms. Claudia" at the beginning to calling each other by their first names now.
There is nothing impolite about this. When the status difference between each other is not big and they are quite familiar with each other, calling each other by their names can even bring them closer together.
"Speaking of children."
After joking, Claudia started the topic, "The last time Helena visited your home, she praised your family atmosphere. I guess you two must have put a lot of effort into educating your children, right?"
"The children are very sensible, so Leon and I didn't worry too much. And in my opinion, there is no such thing as good or bad in family atmosphere, there is only suitable or unsuitable." Rossweisse said.
Claudia raised an eyebrow in interest, "Appropriate or inappropriate?"
Rossweisse nodded slightly.
"The family atmosphere we created is very suitable for Noa and her children, but other children may not be able to adapt. The reason why Helena praised it so much is probably because she was suddenly exposed to a new way of getting along with the family and found it very fresh. Claudia."
She paused deliberately before she finally addressed Claudia's name.
This pause is actually a hidden subtext.
The hidden subtext of this sentence is "Do you understand what I mean?"
Of course, Rossweisse couldn't say this directly, because that might make Claudia feel like she was being questioned.
This is the most taboo thing in conversation.
If you want to establish good social relationships, you need to tone down your words and make your words more rounded.
Even though the Queen and General Lai usually enjoy stabbing each other in the heart, when it comes to serious matters, she is still able to handle such situations with ease.
Claudia smiled slightly, "You have a point, Rossweisse."
Her smile was also somewhat subtle.
She was very satisfied with Rossweisse's answer.
And within this satisfaction, there is also a little bit of... relief?
Rossweisse could understand where this satisfaction came from.
Her answer about family atmosphere can be simply expressed as "Everyone's children are good. My family has its own advantages, and your Helena is also great."
While cleverly boasting about himself, he also praised Helena.
This is a high EQ, win-win answer.
But what does this relief mean?
Rossweisse had seen this kind of smile before.
But I have only seen it on the face of Veronica's grandmother.
