Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Mommy Isn't Picky!
"Why are you staring at me? Do you want to eat some too? Here."
Rossweise stretched out the carrot in front of Leon.
Leon: 'Filthy thing, take it away! Take it away!'
Watching Leon's reaction, Rossweise was very satisfied.
However...
'Do you think it's over, dear Mr. Casmodeous?'
Our days are still long, you know~
———
Leon Casmodeous, who we placed high hopes on, finally fell to the power of the carrot. After breakfast, the taste lingered in his mouth and nose, refusing to go away.
When playing with him in the afternoon, Luna curiously asked,"Daddy, why do you look less healthy after eating a carrot?"
'Good daughter, just because you don't like purple cabbage doesn't mean you can't eat it.'
'But Daddy not liking carrots? That's for real; he truly can't eat them!'
'You don't know what Daddy used to do.'
'Daddy was once the Imperial Dragon Slayer Army's treasured gem.'
'The army's kitchen staff knew Daddy disliked carrots and eggplants so much that when he served, they completely removed those items from all nutritious meals.'
'See, this is the treatment of a top dragon slayer.'
'It's like a straight-A student getting to pick any seat in the class.'
But speaking of which, out of all the dishes, Leon only fears those two foods, and today, Rossweise happened to catch him off guard with one of them.
Was it really a coincidence?
Or... something else?
He couldn't figure it out for now.
But there wasn't time to mourn over the carrot. Next, it was time for Leon Casmodeous's revenge.
'As a dragon slayer, I can't let that female dragon have it easy.'
After spending so much time together, Leon discovered that apart from their nighttime activities, Rossweise didn't seem to have any major weaknesses in daily life.
She loved bathing, loved cleanliness, but wasn't overly obsessed with hygiene.
She could cook, and she cooked well—there was nothing to nitpick about her meals.
She did housework, no complaints, cleaning and mopping with ease.
Finding a weakness to make her lose her appetite for a day was as difficult as searching for a needle in a haystack.
"Lose her appetite... lose her appetite... Ah, got it!"
He remembered that when subtly probing Anna about Rossweise's whereabouts yesterday, Anna accidentally mentioned, "Her Majesty doesn't like cilantro."
Oh-ho!
The needle in the haystack was found.
———
At dinnertime, Leon volunteered to cook personally.
Following the principle of "if you do something, do it thoroughly," Leon made every dish with cilantro as the main flavor enhancer.
'No matter how cunning the female dragon, she couldn't escape my cilantro array.'
.
.
.
When the food was ready, Leon brought the dishes to the table.
As soon as the first dish, braised chicken wings, was served, Rossweise's smile froze instantly.
The rich aroma of chicken wings wafted through the air, enticing, but the few green sprigs on top were glaringly obvious.
Rossweise took a deep breath.
'Fine, it's just braised chicken wings. At worst, I won't eat it. Aren't there other dishes?'
Then came the second dish—grilled fish, cilantro-flavored.
Rossweise's frozen expression finally started to crack.
'Did Leon use to put this much cilantro in his cooking?'
Watching Rossweise's reaction, Leon suppressed his laughter and continued serving dishes.
Every dish that followed featured cilantro as a garnish.
There was no escape for Rossweise—this was a cilantro hell.
"Here, Luna, your steak also needs to be paired with vegetables, okay?" Leon said.
"Got it, Daddy~"
"Here's your grilled fish, along with some other side dishes. Take what you like."
After serving the food, Leon sat down but didn't start eating immediately. Instead, he leisurely observed Rossweise's expression.
Biting her lower lip, Rossweise stared at the grilled fish on her plate for a long time before reluctantly saying, "I... I'm not that hungry. You guys eat."
Just as she was about to get up, Leon suddenly reached out and pressed her wrist.
"You were out for so long yesterday, traveling around without much rest. How can you skip dinner? Eat a little, or I'll worry," Leon said sincerely.
"..."
'What a disgusting show of concern, Casmodeous!'
But not as disgusting as cilantro.
"Yeah, Mom, balanced nutrition is important, but so is eating three meals a day~"
'Good daughter, whose side are you on?'
Forced into a full-cilantro feast by Leon's scheming, Rossweise had no choice but to sit back down. To avoid setting a bad example for her daughter, she picked up her knife and fork and, trembling slightly, said, "Alright... Mom will eat."
"Mm-hmm~"
Enduring the taste of cilantro, Rossweise took small bites of grilled fish.
Who said there's no true empathy in this world?
She could fully understand Leon's pain from breakfast now, even though she caused it herself.
Wait—
As she chewed, her eyes swept over the table full of cilantro-laden dishes.
Every single dish had cilantro...
'It is hard not to suspect this guy did it on purpose.'
'So he planned a full feast just to get back at me?'
'But how did he know I don't like cilantro?'
Deep in thought, Rossweise endured the overpowering taste of cilantro while pondering the situation.
For Leon, this was the most satisfying dinner he'd had in ages.
'Yes, cilantro is truly the most perfect ingredient in the world.'
After dinner, Luna went to her room to rest, and the couple washed dishes together in the kitchen.
"How was dinner?" Leon asked persistently.
Rossweise saw through his scheme and replied, "It was good. You did a great job."
'Fine, stubborn dragon, I'll cook you another cilantro feast tomorrow.'
"I'm glad you liked it," Leon said.
Rossweise chuckled lightly, set down the cleaned plate, and changed the subject. "Tonight, I'll sleep in your room."
Leon paused. "Sleep in my room..."
"Mm, clean it up a bit. See you tonight."
With that, Rossweise wiped her hands and left without further explanation.
But even if she didn't explain, Leon knew exactly what she meant.
They were an old married couple, after all—one look was enough to understand.
It seemed tonight's cilantro feast had inspired her to "torment" Leon again.
Besides, it had been half a month since Leon had "submitted his assignments."
Whenever that happened, Rossweise would either choose her own room or Leon's room for their nighttime activities.
If she wanted to play around with role-play, like teacher-student or boss-subordinate, she'd choose her room.
If she just wanted a night of passion, she'd go to Leon's room.
She didn't want her own room to get messy.
So tonight was bound to be another sleepless night, right?
However, after a moment of surprise, Leon quickly composed himself.
In these half a month, with his astonishing recovery speed and the dragon tribe's nutritious food, his body was no longer the same.
If Rossweise thought she could easily dominate and exhaust him again—
Not a chance.
If she wanted to come at him—
Fine.
'I'll make sure this evil dragon leaves with no energy to spare.'
Still, to avoid exposing his confidence, Leon made a token protest.
"Can we do this another day?"
As expected, her reply was, "No."
"Oh."
'Alright, alright, female dragon, I gave you a chance. Don't come crying for mercy later.'
———
At night, Leon tidied up his room, then sat at his desk, waiting quietly.
Before long, the door opened, and Rossweise entered, wearing a light, thin spaghetti-strap nightgown.
Her gown was short, barely covering her thighs, leaving her long, slender legs exposed to the air.
Her dragon-marked chest was faintly visible, her rounded shoulders smooth and pale, and two soft curves swayed slightly with her steps.
As she passed behind Leon, a faint fragrance of her body and bath products wafted by, intoxicating and lingering.
Without saying a word, she climbed into bed, lifted the covers, and lay down.
"Did you bathe?" Rossweise asked.
"Yes."
"Mm, come up."
