She slowly approached Leon, the sound of scales rubbing together was particularly creepy. The five heads glared at Leon, looking as if ready to devour him, but in the end, she didn't let anger cloud her judgment and said, "You don't believe that old fellow's nonsense, do you? Do you really think he can help you overthrow my authority?"
"Since you're here telling me about him, it shows you haven't been bewitched by him." Tiamat nodded, showing an approving expression, looking at Leon with gratification, "Good, very good, my efforts to help you were not in vain."
Leon swallowed at Tiamat's brazen words but ultimately didn't speak, ambiguously saying, "Of course, I refused him."
