Chapter 38: You’ve already got dragon patterns. What’s there to be afraid of?

The city lived up to its name. The Dragon Clan’s Sky City was located on the distant horizon of the clouds, and only creatures with powerful flying abilities could reach it.

After several hours of flying, Leon’s family finally arrived at the outskirts of Sky City. Due to the massive size of the dragons, the space outside the city was vast enough for many dragons to land simultaneously.

Rosvitha chose a relatively open space to land. Leon jumped down with his daughters in his arms, and Rosvitha retracted her wings, transforming into human form.

“Alright, let’s go inside.”

The family of four headed to the photography studio. Upon entering the photography studio, various styles of artistic photos adorned one wall. The photographer was a middle-aged woman wearing glasses—no, she should be called a middle-aged dragoness. With a gentle appearance, simple attire, and a smiling face, she walked up and shook hands with Rosvitha.

“It’s an honor for the shop to photograph the family portrait of the Silver Dragon Queen.”

“Oh, don’t be modest. Everyone says that Professor Selena’s photography skills are top-notch among dragons. Being able to book you successfully is also our family’s luck.”

“Your Majesty, you’re too kind. Come, let’s try the clothes first.”

Leon, carrying Muen, followed closely behind. As they followed Selena to the fitting room, Leon leaned in and whispered to Rosvitha, “You’re already the Dragon Queen. Can’t you order her to provide door-to-door service?”

“Dragon Kings can only command their kind from the same group. The dragons of the Sky City don’t belong to any specific group.”

“Your queen status seems a bit low,” Leon teased.

Rosvitha glared at him, “Well, it’s higher than yours, anyway.”

The four of them followed Selena into the fitting room. Selena picked out a suit and was about to introduce it to Leon when she noticed, “Your Majesty, your husband’s tail…”

“Oh, my husband doesn’t like to expose his tail. Could you please pick a suit without a tail for him?”

“Of course, Your Majesty.”

She prepared a regular tailless suit for Leon, and he obediently put it on.

“Wow, Daddy looks so handsome in a suit!”

Standing at around 1.8 meters, Leon had a typical inverted triangle body shape. He looked slim in clothes but had a muscular build when undressed. He had only worn a suit once in his over twenty years, and that was at the Dragon Slayer Academy graduation ceremony.

He personally didn’t think there was anything particularly handsome about it. But on that day, junior sisters lined up to ask him out for a meal after the ceremony.

And Leon, at that time, earnestly replied, “I still need to go back and help my master with the donkey’s hooves. Next time for sure.”

After hearing this, the master, embracing the old donkey at home, smoked all night and still couldn’t understand what the boy was thinking. He snapped back to reality.

Leon looked at himself in the mirror. Indeed, he looked much more mature and steady than in previous years. Muen excitedly wagged her little tail, looking at her handsome old man, praising him incessantly.

Leon rubbed Muen’s head, then turned to his “not good with words” eldest daughter.

Noia hesitated, avoided eye contact, and mumbled, “Uh, yeah, quite handsome.”

A suit was the best cosmetic surgery for men, enhancing their temperament and showcasing their physique. Since the eldest daughter said it looked handsome, it must be quite handsome. Leon looked proudly at Rosvitha.

The queen carefully examined him, nodded finally, and gave her evaluation,

“It does feel a bit strange without the tail.”

Mother of dragons, I’ll never wear a tail my entire life!

After picking out clothes for Leon, Selena also selected a formal gown for Rosvitha.

The gown had an off-the-shoulder style, predominantly black, with dark red accents at the waist and skirt, adding a touch of mystery and elegance to the solemnity. However, due to the off-the-shoulder style, the neckline was a bit low, revealing a small pattern of dragon scales.

Rosvitha shyly covered her chest, “Professor Selena, please choose one with a slightly higher neckline?”

“Of course, Your Majesty,” Selena smiled as if to say, “Young people nowadays are really picky.”

Leon shrugged and didn’t say anything further.

In the end, Selena chose another well-fitting gown for Rosvitha. And the two daughters naturally won’t be left behind. Choosing their clothes was easy. One satisfied, the other surely pleased.

After more than half an hour of preparation, the family of four was finally ready for the photoshoot. The first set was a family portrait. Leon held Muen, while Rosvitha held Noia, the two standing side by side.

In the camera’s viewfinder, the poses and positions were standard. However, it didn’t quite look like a typical family portrait.

Selena put down the camera and politely asked, “Your Majesty, could you and your husband please strike a loving pose?”

The unfortunate couple looked at each other, both feeling awkward.

Rosvitha: “Affectionate…”

Leon: “Posture…”

Selena smiled, “Yes, yes, it must be super affectionate.”

The two looked at each other, then simultaneously turned their heads.

Rosvitha cleared her throat twice, “Selena, do you have any recommended poses?”

Selena thought for a moment and replied,

“Generally speaking, the two spouses should be affectionate, but it shouldn’t be vulgar. So, try hugging, touching noses, and having deep, affectionate eye contact.”

“Come on, Selena, spare us from the teasing,” Rosvitha said.

Seeing the two feeling a bit embarrassed, Selena was also puzzled.

“You’ve already got dragon patterns. What’s wrong with getting closer for a photo?

I don’t understand you, young people.” Selena said.

“Well, since none of those seem suitable, how about you two compare hearts with your tails?”

“Tails comparing hearts…”

“Yeah, that’s right. It’s very cute and playful.”

Rosvitha glanced at Leon. It was too late to give this guy a tail now.

But after thinking about it, it seemed like comparing hearts was the only gesture they could accept.

Hiss…

What should they do?

“Can I use my hand, Selena?”

Leon said, “My wife uses her tail, and I use my hand. We should be able to compare hearts, right?”

Selena raised an eyebrow and praised, “Good idea, it’s a pose we’ve never tried. Come on, you two, get ready, and let’s take the photo like this!”
