She would not let go of any opportunity to make Leon feel bad.
Moreover, if she really could eliminate Leon directly in the early stage of this game, then this achievement would be enough for her to brag about for a whole year.
Leon's coming year would all be spent under the Queen's Bible titled, "I, Rossweise Melkvei, took down the strongest dragon slayer at the start, what kind of gold content is that?"
So, in order to avoid being solo-killed by Rossweise right at the start, Leon had to think carefully about countermeasures for the 8 a.m. meeting tomorrow.
While thinking, it unknowingly became midnight.
Leon was still lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling, planning out the speech and action strategy for a few hours later in his mind.
And just at that moment, the room's door lock suddenly made a sound.
Leon immediately became alert and slightly lifted his head to look toward the door.
Only to see the door slowly open inward, and a beam of light from the corridor slipped in, revealing two small shadows.
"Daddy, daddy are you asleep? Luna can't sleep, wants to sleep with you."
As soon as he heard it was his obedient daughter, Leon was about to answer immediately.
But as he opened his mouth, Leon didn't respond.
He recalled that when drawing identities, Luna got [Princess's Friend], which meant Noah.
According to Little Luna's sis-con personality, now that she couldn't sleep, she should've gone to find her sister. Whether it was from the off-game sister relationship or the in-game identity setting, Luna going to Noah was the most reasonable.
And not coming to find Leon, the [King's Old Friend].
After a brief analysis, Leon decided to pretend to be asleep.
"Daddy? Daddy?"
Receiving no response, Luna softly called again twice.
"Alright, Daddy's asleep. Little Light, go go go!"
Confirming Leon was 'asleep', the two little shadows then quietly slipped in from the door.
Lying in bed, Leon secretly smiled, 'As expected, these two little ones coming to me wasn't because they couldn't sleep.'
'There must be another purpose.'
Leon continued pretending to be asleep, wanting to see what tricks they were up to.
"Little Light, the intel we found, are you sure it refers to Daddy?"
Little Light lowered her head to look at the intel card in her hand, on which a simple word was written:
[Only]
"Even if we can't be 100% sure it's Daddy, he's still pretty suspicious. Plus, Daddy didn't attend the first meeting, so no matter what, it's necessary to check Daddy out."
Luna nodded, "Okay. Then let's search quickly, in case Daddy wakes up later."
"Mm mm!"
Listening to his daughters' discussion, Leon noticed a key word:
[Only]
'What does that mean?'
'Could it be a clue they got after completing a mission?'
Leon knew he now had the lone wolf identity, so this [Only] very likely referred to him.
And just like Little Light said, he didn't attend the first meeting, so the suspicion really was too big.
So the little dragon girls visiting in the middle of the night was indeed normal.
Leon remained expressionless, continuing to listen.
Luna and Little Light began searching through Leon's room with light steps.
The sofa, coffee table, bedside table, bathroom, refrigerator, they checked everywhere, but apart from the initial wooden box of starting items, they didn't find anything of value.
"The black holy stone isn't here with Daddy," Luna sounded a bit disappointed.
"Hmm… If I stole the black holy stone, I definitely wouldn't hide it in my own room either," Little Light said.
As the two little ones discussed, they suddenly heard a noise from the door.
They instantly became alert.
"There's someone else?", Luna asked nervously.
Little Light slightly furrowed her brow, looked at the wardrobe beside her, and said, "Hide first, let's see what happens."
"Okay!"
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The two little ones darted into the wardrobe at lightning speed, then pressed closely against the wardrobe door, listening for movement outside.
"Noah-chan, if Uncle Leon wakes up and finds us sneaking in, will he spank our butts?"
"No, I just need to act cute with him and he'll behave."
The Roll Queen was also very good at understanding human nature.
Her Daddy might as well tattoo the words "daughter simp" on his face.
But Noah never actually used "acting cute to get her way" to achieve any of her own goals.
What she said to Helena just now was to help her bestie relax and dare to do "bad things" together.
After all, sneaking into Daddy's room wasn't Noah's first time, but Helena probably had never done anything like this.
"Oh oh, then let's start looking quickly!"
"Okay."
The bestie team followed the same search path as the sister team just now.
Hiding in the wardrobe, Luna and Little Light opened a small gap in the door, one on top and one below, revealing two big eyes spying out.
"It's Big Sister! (≧▽≦)"
"And Helena￣へ￣"
Luna's expression change was very smooth, her face-turning speed even outmatched that of her Queen mother.
"Little Light, should we go out and join Big Sister?"
The little pink-hair's eyes rolled around and she shook her head, "Let's not for now. If we run into them, they'll definitely ask us what clues we got to come to Daddy's room."
"But our identity is [Princess's Friend], so sharing clues is fine, right?"
"Second Sis, the identity card only says we're [Princess's Friend], not [Guard's Friend]. If Helena has her own hidden mission or win condition, then we can't share clues with her."
Luna suddenly understood and nodded, then praised, "Wow Little Light, turns out you're so good at playing."
"Second Sis, if you weren't always the first to get voted out every time we played Werewolf, you'd be as good as me too," Little Light said bluntly.
Luna: o(╥﹏╥)o
———
Meanwhile, the bestie group outside also found nothing.
"Could our clue be wrong?"
Helena spoke while taking out the intel card from her pocket.
"Only…"
Hearing this clue again, the General Leon lying in bed couldn't help but curl his lips.
Hiss~
'Is this game targeting me?'
'How come everyone has this clue?'
'Why do I have nothing!'
"Could it mean the only guy in the game?"
Noah thought carefully and shook her head, "Maybe it's not that simple. This [Only] probably refers to the uniqueness of something else, not shallow things like 'boy versus girl'."
"Makes sense… We were thinking too simply just now."
"Mm, looks like we still need to gather more clues."
Even though all three of his daughters had made him their number one suspect, the old father lying in bed still felt gratified.
'So happy you've all learned independent thinking and analysis.'
'Daddy is proud of you!'
Therefore, Daddy has painfully decided:
'After I kill your mom, I'll kill you too.'
'The Melkvei family's ancestral tradition of fatherly affection and daughterly piety must not be left out!'
While thinking secretly, Leon suddenly heard another door opening sound.
"Damn… there's another expert?"
Noah and Helena naturally also heard the sound.
Just like the bestie team earlier, they too squeezed into the wardrobe in a panic.
And so—
Noah: ?
Helena: ...
Luna: (=.＝)
Little Light: 'Battle arena? Wardrobe of carnage! Fight, fight!'
"What are you doing here?", Noah whispered.
The little pink-hair blinked, "Uh… night jogging?"
"Night jogging to Daddy's room? Please, can you come up with a more believable excuse?"
"Then why are you here, Big Sis?"
"Midnight snack," Noah dead serious.
"…Please, Big Sis, you too! It's almost 2:30 a.m. already, what midnight snack are you talking about!"
"Shhh! Someone's coming."
The little dragon girls instantly quieted down.
This time, the gap in the wardrobe door revealed four big eyes in a vertical row.
"Who is it? Who is it?", Little Light asked.
"Judging by the shadow, looks tall," Helena said.
"Mama, Auntie, and Aunt Claudia are all tall."
"The hair's also very long."
"Mama, Auntie, and Aunt Claudia all have long hair."
"Great figure."
"Mama—"
"Alright Little Light, we get it, all three of them have great figures, no need to say more."
Little Light shook her head like a rattle, "No no no, I mean the person coming, is Mama!"
Upon hearing that, the children held their breath even more carefully and nervously stared outside.
They only heard the light sound of high heels.
A silver figure slowly walked to Leon's bedside.
It was indeed Rossweise.
Leon strained with all his might to keep his expression steady.
