Chapter 323: Chapter 318 I Don’t Believe
"This is my teacher, Edwin." Leon gave due respect to Edwin.
When it was Isily’s turn, Leon didn’t let her lose face, but only just managed not to: "Isily, Silver Dragon, insisted on following me back, and I had no choice but to bring her along."
After facing the terrifying Three Heads and Six Arms Red Dragon, there was nothing else to be afraid of. The main thing was not to show weakness in front of the enemy. Isily tried hard to control her expression and waved, "Thanks for everyone’s care and attention."
Leon introduced Edwin and Isily to everyone, but he didn’t have the leisure to individually introduce who was who or what their specific roles were.
He sent Isily away, then took Edwin to meet Tassera. The two Mages should have some things to discuss, then it was Cecelia’s turn. How to specifically arrange for Edwin’s matters would require Cecelia to step in; the remaining issues he left unattended.
The banquet ended just like that.
During the event, Leon discovered something interesting: his subordinates, though few, were divided into several factions.
His mother and sister, Anglistra and Salovis, formed one faction. It has to be said that the Red Dragon is truly terrifyingly arrogant, to the point of looking down on even Leon’s Queen, Tassera, who is a Blue Dragon. In their eyes, a Blue Dragon doesn’t even deserve to sit at the table, let alone mention any Green Dragons.
Without Leon, their combat power would absolutely be the strongest among everyone, but that’s as far as it goes; they lack the ability to unify everyone.
The Efreeti refused to be looked down upon by Anglistra and Salovis, preferring to align with Cecelia, along with the Werewolf Ward, Andrea, and the Fallen Dryobylian...
Their faction was relatively weak in strength but had a large number and considerable power, unlike Anglistra and Salovis, who due to their personalities, were satisfied with two honorary positions given by Leon.
Tassera and Edwin could be considered as the Academic Faction.
The Brass Dragon Eggon, Bronze Dragon Fiora, and Silver Dragon Isily — these three Metal Dragons undoubtedly grouped together in the evil stronghold to keep warm.
Leon didn’t mind his subordinates being divided into several factions as long as they didn’t drag each other down and hinder things... to think of his subordinates being overly harmonious would actually be something to worry about.
"What’s there to discuss?"
"You idiot, do you really have to crowd in at this time?"
"Why isn’t it over yet?"
Fiora didn’t know how long she waited, but finally, she got a chance. Leon had drunk a bit and went outside the villa alone.
Fiora hurriedly followed, only to see Leon standing under a tree waiting for her.
"What did you want to talk to me about?" Leon had already noticed Fiora glancing at him from time to time but unfortunately kept getting accosted by others, so he could only sit with a face full of impatience.
"You noticed..." Fiora invited, "Can we go for a walk by the seaside?"
"No problem." Leon didn’t refuse.
Though he often verbally criticized Fiora, he actually valued her greatly... Zhu Yuanzhang’s skinning measure couldn’t deter corrupt officials, and there’s never a time without the need for oversight. If it weren’t for her serving as Inspector, the Knight Lady who cannot tolerate evil, who knew how chaotic his Watchtower Port would be now.
Walking and walking, soon they arrived at the seaside.
Listening to the "whoosh whoosh" of the waves crashing against the rocks, Leon asked, "Alright, can you tell me now what you came to find me for?"
"Let me guess what you came to find me about..." Leon took a big step, stepping onto a rock, "You must be here because of Isily."
"Why were you not so excited when I threatened Eggon?" Leon said amusedly, "You’re being biased."
"Eggon is an Adult Dragon, even older than me, and knew you before me, second only to Tassera... Isily is still a teenage dragon just leaving her parents." Fiora paused, "I know this request might be difficult, but I hope you can release Isily."
"If you know it’s difficult, then don’t ask. I will not easily release her." Leon knew Fiora’s character, "Did she ask you to come and plead, or are you here on your own accord?"
"She didn’t ask me to plead, this is entirely my own decision." Fiora took a deep breath, "Your Majesty, aren’t you always saying ’if people do not offend me, I won’t offend them’? Isily shouldn’t have offended you."
"I can promise her safety," Leon assured.
"Don’t deny it," Fiora said, "I heard you want Isily as a bed warmer maid."
"Haven’t you already got Tassera and Cecelia?" Fiora questioned.
It would’ve been fine if Fiora hadn’t spoken, but once she did, Leon, who never lacked a rebellious mindset, said, "I’m a King now, what’s the problem with a King having multiple women?"
In this world, there are countries with monogamy and countries with polygamy, there are even matriarchal societies, with the most typical being Drow Society, where at the top of each Drow Family sits a matriarch wielding immense power, and males are always subordinate to females, allowed to hold all societal positions, but they cannot become Priests or head a family.
"Isn’t she still a child?" Fiora said.
"A young dragon, not young anymore." Leon retorted.
"No bust, no butt." Fiora said, "No charm at all."
"Cecelia also has no bust or butt." Leon said, "A woman’s charm is never about busts and butts."
Fiora wanted to persuade further, but Leon interrupted her, "If there’s nothing else, let’s leave it at this for now."
Leon jumped off the rock, ready to leave, but his wrist was grabbed by Fiora.
"If, and I mean if." Fiora clenched Leon’s wrist, "What about letting me take Isily’s place?"
"Ah..."
That was a scenario Leon never expected.
Fiora, holding Leon’s hand with her right hand, pulled the hair tie from her ponytail with her left hand, then gently shook her head, her silky golden hair cascading straight down like a waterfall, standing gracefully in the moonlight and said, "Isily is still a little girl, surely I am more charming."
Finishing her words, Fiora, who was already holding Leon’s wrist, lifted his hand to place it on her heart.
Leon felt the Knight Lady’s weighty sense of justice.
To be a beast, or worse than a beast?
Fiora might have some issues in her head, but there’s no denying she’s really beautiful... It’s not just that he’s been away from Watchtower Port for a long time, with pent-up needs, like the old saying goes, "in the army for three years, even a sow looks like Diao Chan."
Having done so many bad deeds already, is he afraid of one more?
He already is a villain, an evil Red Dragon, never to become a gentleman.
"Let me think calmly." Leon said, "I was joking, I have no intention of making Isily my bed warmer maid."
"I don’t believe you."
