She could feel the heat from the chest behind her rise sharply, moving with his heavy breaths. Hot air brushed against her ear.
Leon tried hard to rein in his emotions. He buried his head on Rosalie’s shoulder and said in a low voice, “Matriarch, please don’t tease me.”
Rosalie felt something hard pressing uncomfortably against her. She laughed, broke free from Leon’s arms, and ran outside.
“I’m going to eat first. You should come out soon!”
Leon leaned back on his hands and sat on the bed, watching Rosalie run off after teasing him. He looked helpless.
After all, she was the matriarch he’d chosen himself. He could only accept it.
After finishing her meal, Rosalie asked Declan and Leon to go into the city with her. Jewel had been there yesterday, so she hadn’t been able to ask much.
Today, she needed to carefully ask Yuna about Jewel’s background and why Jewel wanted their rice.
On the way, Rosalie told Declan about the gold and told him to return it as soon as possible.
Declan agreed reluctantly and said he would return it house by house over the next few days.
Rosalie shot him a sharp look. He had taken it from more than one house? This little thief dragon really had no shame.
The reason Declan was unwilling was because he had not actually stolen those things. Back then, he had taken them from the tribe leader to please Rosalie.
Now, the tribe leader didn’t even want to see him, a dragon who favored outsiders, so Declan felt he might as well keep them.
But seeing how firm Rosalie was, he decided to return them anyway. As long as it made Rosalie happy, it was fine.
When they arrived at Yuna’s place, they didn’t see her. A guard at the door stopped Rosalie and said coldly, “Mrs. Sherman is not home today. Please come back another day.”
This attitude was clearly wrong. Normally, there were no guards at the city lord’s estate, and Rosalie could always enter directly. Yuna had never turned her away before.
Does Yuna not want to see me? Or did Jewel do something again?
Rosalie pressed her lips together and glanced outside. Several unfamiliar, tall beastmen were watching from nearby.
