**Marriage Before Love ✘ Children Before Love ✔︎** After being defeated in battle, the dragon-slaying hero Leon became the captive of the Silver Dragon Queen. Resigned to his fate and expecting certain death, Leon made a desperate last move—and it hit the mark. Right before his anticipated demise, he managed to get the queen pregnant. He thought this would suffice to condemn the queen to live with the humiliation for the rest of her life, allowing him to fulfill, in his own twisted way, the mission of the dragon-slayer. But two years later, when Leon reopened his eyes, beside him stood a little dragon girl with a tail. “Daddy! You’re finally awake!” Not only did Leon survive, but he had also somehow become a father, now serving as the dad of this tiny dragon girl. After this, the Silver Dragon Queen unleashed her relentless revenge upon him. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. But Leon was merely human—how could his body withstand the day-and-night assaults of the powerful dragon? Leon decided to escape. Yet every attempt to run away ended in failure. In the end, under the queen’s threats and coercion, he reluctantly accepted his fate as a stay-at-home dad looking after their child. “Hmm, not bad. As a reward, let’s have a second baby together,” the queen declared. Leon roared, *"I, Leon, would rather die—die out there, jump off your Silver Dragon Castle—than have another child with you!”* — ...Hmm. The second baby’s also a girl. So cute, hehe~ Original Novel Official English
