Shut Up Dragon! I Don't Want To Have Children With You Anymore

"Please come over and sit, you two."

The staff placed two chairs opposite Principal Wilson and another teaching director, signaling for Leon and Rossweise to take a seat.

The couple glanced at each other.

They saw a hint of confusion in each other's eyes:

'Isn't the assessment over? Why are we still having a conversation with the school leaders?'

Holding onto an unexplained feeling, the two walked over.

After sitting down, the white-haired elder in the middle introduced himself gently,

"Hello, you two. I am Walter Wilson, Vice Principal of St. Heath Academy. It's a pleasure to oversee your assessment."

"Hello, Principal. My name is Rossweise Melkvei. I am the leader of the Silver Dragon Clan. This is my husband, Leon Casmodeous. It's a great honor to participate in your school's assessment."

Principal Wilson nodded. "Then let's skip the small talk and move straight to the second stage of the assessment, the interview."

"Inter... interview?"

Principal Wilson squinted and smiled. "Yes, this is a newly introduced assessment segment at St. Heath Academy this year. Are you two ready?"

The couple's faces turned serious.

'Ready... ready for what?'

The couple sat upright, backs straight as rulers, hands placed on their knees, just like diligent primary school students in class.

Although they looked ready for the interview on the surface, inside, they were in complete panic.

As Principal Wilson lowered his head to discuss with the teaching director, Leon stared straight ahead, slightly leaning toward Rossweise, whispering,

"How about we just kill him?"

"You can keep such 'kill the examiner' suggestions to yourself in the future, dragonslayer."

"Then what do we do now? We're completely unprepared for this interview stuff."

Rossweise closed her eyes, took a slow deep breath, and exhaled, "We'll improvise."

"Ahem—"

Principal Wilson cleared his throat twice. "Alright, let's officially start the interview."

Rossweise forced a polite smile. "Sure, Principal."

"Ah, and please, don't be nervous. This is the first time we're trying an interview at our academy, so we won't be too harsh. Relax, just relax."

The couple exchanged a glance without saying anything.

Principal Wilson picked up a stack of papers in front of him and leisurely asked, "Do you two remember your wedding anniversary?"

It was like a thunderbolt on a clear day—the couple froze on the spot.

No one expected the first question to almost eliminate them.

To smoothly get through the interview, Rossweise, after a brief brain freeze, hurriedly responded, "Ah, of course! Of course, I remember. Such an important day, how could I forget?"

Leon glanced at her.

'Lady, we had a child out of wedlock. Where would a wedding anniversary come from?'

Rossweise also happened to look at him and secretly shot him a meaningful look.

Despite his panic, Leon understood the signal.

Although they didn't have an official wedding anniversary, a certain day two years ago had a significance that might surpass marriage.

Rossweise: "It's the Creation Calendar Year 1733—"

The two spoke in unison: "May 25th."

In Creation Calendar Year 1733, on May 22nd, the Empire's Dragon Slayer Army launched an attack on the Silver Dragon Clan. During the battle, Leon was betrayed, defeated, and captured.

Three days later, on May 25th, Leon used the Blood Enchantment to bond with the Silver Dragon Queen, resulting in her pregnancy.

Principal Wilson was slightly surprised by the couple's synchronized answer.

"Just married for two years? Your child started school quite early."

"Yes, Principal."

Rossweise adjusted her hair and took the chance to breathe a little easier.

"During these two years of marriage, have there been any bad habits or behaviors in your partner that you find unbearable?"

"No," Rossweise replied instantly.

Wilson nodded and looked at Leon.

Leon frowned, pondered briefly, and replied, "Yes."

Hearing this, Rossweise panicked.

'What nonsense is this guy up to? Just say no, and we could skip this question.'

Principal Wilson, however, seemed intrigued. "What is it?"

"At home, I feel like I don't exist." Leon's expression was serious.

"No sense of presence?"

"Mm."

Leon explained, "Cooking, washing dishes, doing household chores, and handling clan affairs—my wife takes care of everything herself. There's nothing left for me to do. It feels like in this house, all I can do is watch her busy herself while I contribute nothing."

As he spoke, Leon sighed and turned to look at Rossweise beside him.

"If possible, I'd like to use this interview as an opportunity to make my wife understand that I want to do something for this family too, to share her burden."

High emotional intelligence: Help my wife share the burden.

Low emotional intelligence: Damn, whenever she's stressed, she takes it out on me directly—who can handle that?

However, Principal Wilson had no idea of the deeper meaning behind Leon's words and simply nodded in satisfaction after listening.

"How did the two of you get married? Was it through free love or introduced by the clan elders?" the principal asked.

"Ah, we... we fell in love at first sight, then dated freely, and then—"

Rossweise looked to Leon for help.

Leon quickly picked up the conversation, "Then we had a flash wedding. Yes, a flash wedding."

Flash wedding?

Flash pregnancy?

She got pregnant on the first meeting~

The vice principal looked slightly surprised, "A flash wedding? Oh, making such a quick decision must mean you shared a very special connection to have stayed together until now."

The foolish couple (squinting and smiling): "Principal, you really have a good eye for people."

"Then, Ms. Rossweise, what do you think is the most attractive shining quality of your husband?"

'This guy's shining quality...'

Rossweise glanced sideways at Leon beside her, thought for a moment, and slowly said,"Focused, serious, smart, not greasy, responsible, likes children, and hardly ever gets angry with anyone."

After pausing for a moment, she added, "On a more superficial note, he's handsome, has a good physique, although..."

Principal: "Although?"

"His physique isn't quite as good as it was before marriage, but it's not a big problem. My husband is also skilled in potion-making, and he uses all sorts of concoctions to adjust himself, right?"

Leon's mouth twitched slightly.

He thought Rossweise was finally about to genuinely praise him.

He didn't expect her to slip in a jab at the end.

"So, I also want to take this interview as an opportunity to tell my husband something."

As she spoke, Rossweise reached out her hand, gently placed it on Leon's shoulder, then gazed at him tenderly and softly said, "Don't push yourself too hard. I understand."

"You understand nothing—"

Principal Wilson covered his mouth, smiling, finding the couple quite amusing.

"All right, all right. It seems the two of you are quite lively in daily life. Now, for the next question, what are your plans for the future?"

The couple snapped back to reality.

"Plans for the future? Could you be more specific, Principal?" Rossweise asked.

"Ah, for instance... do you plan on having a second child?"

Leon silently covered his face, waved his hand, and indicated for Rossweise to answer this one.

Rossweise laughed awkwardly,

"Well... we haven't, haven't thought about it yet. Actually, we already have two children. Noah also has a twin sister. So as for plans... let's focus on raising these two first, then think about having another. What do you think, Leon?"

As she spoke, Rossweise nudged Leon's arm with her elbow.

"Mm, mm, mm, I agree with my wife."

"So, you're already a family of four. That's very fortunate." The principal commented.

"Thank you, Principal."

After that, the principal asked a few more questions.

Leon and Rossweise responded to each with a mix of truth and fabrication, adapting as needed.

As the interview neared its end, Principal Wilson said,

"Now, for the final part of the interview, let's play a 'truth game.' You can each ask the other one question you've always wanted to know the answer to. If the person chooses to answer, they must provide their genuine thoughts; if not, we won't force it." [T/N: Killing this geezer would have been a better idea]

The couple looked at each other.

To avoid saying too much and making mistakes, Rossweise immediately responded, "I don't have any questions for my husband; I understand him completely."

"All right, and Mr. Leon, do you have any questions for your wife?"

Leon leaned back in his chair, touched his chin with one hand, and frowned slightly.

Rossweise looked at him, wondering what question he might ask.

'Will he hint at me to ease up on him in the future?'

'Or subtly express his desire to return to the empire for a visit?'

'It would probably be something along those lines.'

'After all, this interview is also a good chance for him to get things off his chest.'

After a moment, Leon looked at Rossweise, his gaze meeting her silver eyes, and asked in a deep voice,

"You actually like the teddy bear I gave you, don't you?"

Rossweise was stunned.

She had not expected Leon to ask such a question.

A question completely unrelated to identity, position, or their grudges.

Rossweise's pupils trembled slightly. She pursed her lips, brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, lowered her gaze, and nodded.

"Mm, I like the teddy bear you gave me very much."

Perhaps even Rossweise herself didn't realize that Leon had asked, "Do you like it?"

But her answer wasn't a simple, "Like."

Instead, it was—"Like it very much."
