Chapter 118: Chapter 118: Caught Red Handed
However, he didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, Rossweise often came in and out of his room, so leaving a bit of her scent was normal.
Leon took off his shoes at the entrance and walked into the house.
But as he stood in the living room, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Pillows, quilts, sofa cushions, and some other items were all arranged...
Exceptionally neatly.
So neat that it didn't look like his room anymore.
After thinking for a moment, Leon understood what was going on.
"As expected, she couldn't resist coming to look for the photos."
Thinking of this, Leon turned and walked toward the door.
He planned to use this as an excuse to start tonight's interrogation and torment of Rossweise.
But just as he was briskly passing by the bathroom door, he stopped again.
Leon slowly tilted his head, staring at the bathroom door, and couldn't help but cock his head.
Then, he let out a chuckle.
Afterward, he withdrew his gaze and opened the door to the house.
Hearing the door lock click, Rossweise, who was inside the bathroom, let out a sigh of relief.
However, she didn't celebrate her narrow escape. Leon was definitely going to her room to confront her. If he found out she wasn't there, he would undoubtedly come back.
So, she couldn't stay long. She had to leave quickly.
Once she left, she could loop back to her own balcony from Leon's balcony. Since their rooms were adjacent, this way she wouldn't be exposed.
Having made her plan, Rossweise slowly pressed down the bathroom door handle—
CREAK—
"AHHHH!!"
The moment Rossweise opened the door, she was startled by the person standing right at the entrance. Her tail shot straight up in fright.
Leon stood with his arms crossed, leaning casually against the bathroom door. He whistled lazily, "Miss Melkvei, sneaking into your teacher's room, are you here to steal the exam papers?"
So, this guy had already discovered her.
The sound of him opening and closing the door earlier had been deliberately done for her to hear.
Rossweise quickly shrank back into the bathroom and slammed her hand against the door panel with a loud bang.
Leon, unhurried, turned on the bathroom light. Through the frosted glass door, he could vaguely see Rossweise's figure blocking the entrance.
"Ahem—"
Leon cleared his throat deliberately, making Rossweise wonder what trick he was going to play this time.
"Next up is a song dedicated to Miss Melkvei by Mr. Leon Casmodeous: 'Little Bunny, Open the Door.' Also, Mr. Casmodeous leaves a message for Miss Melkvei: Last night's bunny girl, absolutely amazing."
Rossweise: ...
"Little bunny, be good, open the door~"
"Dream on, you dog of a man! I'm not opening the door!",Rossweise retorted.
"Hurry and open it up~"
Leon sang while placing his hand on the bathroom door handle,"I'll count to three. If I can't open this door, in three hours, Isa will receive your bunny girl photos—"
A gust of wind swept across his face—the result of the bathroom glass door being opened.
Rossweise stood at the doorway with a look of both resentment and helplessness, her silver dragon eyes glaring daggers at Leon, as if she wanted to trample him into the ground.
Leon smiled with satisfaction, "That's more like it, Miss Melkvei."
Rossweise shot him a fierce glare, stepped forward, and prepared to leave in compliance.
But Leon seemed intent on delivering justice...right there?
SMACK—
Leon raised his arm, placing one hand against the doorframe, blocking Rossweise's path.
Seeing his posture, Rossweise immediately understood his intentions.
Leon stepped forward, and Rossweise retreated step by step.
Until both of them were inside the bathroom, and Leon closed the glass door behind them.
The glow of dragon marks began to shimmer—a battle of water was inevitable.
Standing in front of Rossweise, Leon gently brushed aside a strand of hair by her ear.
"Why did you come to my room? Could it be that you were too eager to start tonight's lesson?"
Rossweise clenched her skirt tightly, her tail curling nervously.
She turned her head away, but her cheeks flushed at a visible speed, like ripples of sunset spreading across the lake.
Though unwilling, she was helpless.
The butcher held the knife, and she was the fish—she could only submit.
Leon's fingertips brushed against her flushed cheeks, finally tilting her delicate chin upward, forcing her to look at him.
After admiring the look of defiance mixed with helplessness on the silver dragon queen's face for a while, Leon placed a hand lightly on her fragrant shoulder.
Rossweise's body trembled as her eyes darted to her shoulder.
Leon leisurely slid the strap of her dress off her shoulder, revealing smooth, rounded skin.
And a glimpse of the dragon mark.
He stepped forward, lightly pressing against Rossweise's chest.
Rossweise let out a small "tsk!" but could only allow him to continue his offense.
Leon grew bolder, turning on the nearby shower. Warm water cascaded down, enveloping the two of them.
Silver strands clung to Rossweise's flushed face as steam filled the air.
The thin fabric of her dress clung to her skin, hinting at her jade-like complexion underneath. The water flowed through her curves, stirring endless imagination.
"Little bunny, sneaking into my room to do bad things? Then, as a teacher, I must teach you some proper lessons."
After Leon captured the dragon in the jar, the battlefield shifted from the bathroom to his bed.
After a few rounds, Teacher Casmodeous seemed to feel that the bed was too small and not satisfying enough, so he carried Rossweise to her room.
During the intermission, Rossweise, with a flushed face, asked,"Do you have to walk around everywhere? In the bathroom, stay in the bathroom. In your room, stay in your room. Walking around so much, aren't you afraid of being seen by others?"
Leon dismissed it indifferently, "You're the queen, and I'm the queen's husband. Isn't it only natural for us to do whatever we want?"
Rossweise squinted her eyes and gritted her teeth. "You're really… shameless!"
Leon scratched his head. "Rather than saying I'm shameless, dear Ms. Melkvei, when you're resting, you say for me to stop. But once we start, you say continue, don't stop. Looking at it this way, it seems like you're the shameless one."
Rossweise was rendered speechless by Leon's retort. Hugging a pillow against her chest, she gripped the pillow so tightly that the surface was wrinkled.
She glared at Leon, feeling both ashamed and angry in her heart. The past two days could be described as the darkest days in the life of the Silver Dragon Queen.
However, at the root of it all, it was her reckless use of the Blood Charm back then that sowed the seeds of this disaster.
Unexpectedly, this disaster had affected her all the way until today.
The more Rossweise thought about it, the angrier she became—angry at her own negligence, and also at Leon's triumph as a captor.
Her ample chest heaved continuously due to the growing unwillingness and anger within her.
She gritted her teeth and forced herself to calm down and think.
In the current situation, just being angry was useless.
Instead, it would make Leon even more unscrupulous, relentlessly asserting dominance over her. If it continued to the end, her family status might be lost forever.
She had to think of a way to turn the tables in this desperate situation.
After a bit of thought, Rossweise decided to try the method from 2:30 AM once again.
She wanted to use Leon's habit of speaking his true thoughts when he fell asleep at 2:30 AM to extract the location of the backup photos.
As long as she could find and destroy those backups, her days of suffering would finally end.
But the premise of this strategy was that Leon had to fall asleep before 2:30 AM.
Rossweise looked up at the clock.
It was now a little past 11 PM.
She then lowered her gaze to look at Leon beside her.
The scumbag had steady breathing and seemed full of energy. The battle in the first half of the night didn't leave him even a little tired. Judging from his appearance, he could probably keep going for several more hours.
Seeing this, Rossweise couldn't help but regret a little. This man was really too strong. In the future, she absolutely had to be on guard and never let him take the initiative so easily again.
But she wasn't some lamb waiting to be slaughtered either. Rossweise adjusted her mood and changed her tone.
"Are you tired?"
Leon glanced at her but didn't answer directly. Instead, he asked in return, "Why? Are you tired?"
Rossweise rubbed her arms, lowered her silver eyes, and shook her head. "I'm just worried about you."
"Worried about me?"
'When did this female dragon ever worry about me?'
"Yes, isn't there a human saying, 'Good wine is fine, but don't overindulge'?"
Rossweise said, "Even the strongest dragon slayer's body can't handle tossing and turning day and night."
As she spoke, she actually took the initiative to lean closer.
Rossweise raised her hand, her soft and warm palm resting on Leon's shoulder.
Her soft chest pressed against his arm, while her warm breath lightly brushed past his ear, causing a faint tickling sensation.
"I'm fine with it. You can go as many rounds as you want. After all, you have my handle in your hands, so I don't dare resist you at all."
Rossweise spoke pitifully, "But you still need to take care of your body. Anyway, I can't run away. You can come whenever you want. As the saying goes, a steady stream flows long. There's no need to exhaust ourselves every night until so late."
If Leon hadn't discovered earlier that she went to his room to look for those backup photos, he might have really believed this female dragon's nonsense by now.
To make Leon believe Rossweise, there were only two possibilities:
Rossweise had been "cooked" until she was dumb, or he had "cooked" her until he himself became dumb.
In short, in a situation where neither of them was dumb, no matter what this evil dragon said, Leon wouldn't believe even a punctuation mark.
Come on, the hard-won dominance in family status—how could he soften his heart just because of her hypocritical pleas?
However…
He might as well agree for now to see what kind of sneaky calculations this female dragon was making.
He pretended to hesitate, then said, "What you said makes sense. Then tonight… let's end it here."
Rossweise's eyes lit up, and she secretly let out a sigh of relief.
But she still understood the principle of "play hard to get." She didn't immediately show a look of being granted amnesty. Instead, she said, "Hmm... but if you're not satisfied, we... could still take a bath together?"
What a sneaky, most understanding moment for Rossweise—
Too bad she could fool others but not herself.
Leon sneered inwardly and shook his head. He got off the bed.
"Rest well. See you tomorrow."
He got dressed and left Rossweise's bedroom.
