Chapter 787: Specialty Products and Badges
"Leon."
After sending away the strange-looking young lady-in-waiting, Queen Veronica, her cheeks slightly flushed, looked at Leon, who was dressed in casual wear, with a mix of happiness and exasperation.
"I'm glad you came to see me early, but couldn't you use the door instead of climbing through the window?"
"Er..."
Facing Queen Veronica's shy complaint, Leon, for once, had the sense to not admit that he was used to entering through the window. Instead, he cleared his throat and said, "I just missed you so much that I chose the fastest way to get to you."
"???"
Hearing the sweet words from Leon's mouth, Queen Veronica, who was about to close the window, couldn't help but shake her arm slightly, locking the window latch twice before turning back with a look of surprise.
"What's wrong? Is there something on me? Did I spill soup on myself?"
"No, no."
Watching Leon start to check his collar, Queen Veronica's eyes curved into a smile. She then reached out and held his arm, leaning in with a mischievous smile.
"I'm just a little surprised to hear such cheesy words from you. It's unexpected, but I like it. Keep them coming!"
". "
"It's a bit fake, though. If you were really in a hurry to see me, you'd probably have come by airship."
". "
"By the way, Leon, why didn't you wait until midnight as usual? Did Anna kick you out of the house?"
"?"
"Your expression tells me I'm right, doesn't it?"
"..."
Feeling a bit embarrassed by Queen Veronica's words, Leon sighed and said, "If you don't want to hear it, I won't say it again next time..."
"No~"
Queen Veronica extended her index finger and gently touched Leon's lips, stopping him from finishing his sentence. She then wrapped her arms around his waist, stood on her toes, and leaned in, her cheeks flushed as she said, "The sweet talk may be fake, but the intention to please me is genuine. So, I like it, and I want to hear more!"
"Ouch..."
Leon was taken aback by Queen Veronica's sudden and intense approach. His heart was still fluttering when a herd of deer appeared, shaking their heads in unison, causing the little deer in his heart to disappear.
As if affected by some kind of debuff that reduced his intelligence, Leon hugged Queen Veronica as she leaned into him. He said a lot of things he usually wouldn't dare to say. But when a certain threshold was crossed, he shuddered at his own cheesiness and realized what he had done.
After vigorously scratching his toes inside his shoes, Leon cleared his throat and regained his composure. He then changed the subject, saying, "By the way, I brought you some specialties from the Northern Border. You..."
"I've already received them!"
Hearing Leon mention the abundant and impressive 'specialties', Queen Veronica's smile became even sweeter. Her body, heated from the conversation, leaned closer, and she said in a soft and alluring voice, "I really like the specialties you brought back. So, what reward do you want... What's this?"
"Snow Mammoth Jerky, the most famous specialty of the Northern Border."
Leon handed Queen Veronica a sealed paper bag and then, like a street magician, began pulling items out of the Mirror World one by one.
"There's also Ice Cavern Rhino Meat Strip, Spiked Tusk Elephant Smoked Rib, Thick Hoof Donkey Palm, and Saber-Toothed Tiger..." He paused, "This one is for a friend."
Leon pushed the partially exposed Saber-Toothed Tiger Whip back into the Mirror World and then, to Queen Veronica's bewilderment, pulled out more items, explaining, "I'm not sure what you like, so I bought one of everything I could find. Besides food, there's Bone Carving, White Beast Hide, Gram's Colored Carpet, Ice Crystal Amber Necklace... Oh, and this Snow Alder Honey!"
Leon pulled out a wide-mouthed bottle the size of a bucket from the Mirror World and placed it in Queen Veronica's scorching embrace. She shivered as the cold bottle touched her, and Leon confidently introduced the item, "You'll definitely like this. This honey is said to be produced by Tiger-headed bees and has the effect of rejuvenating the skin. However, it's extremely rare, and only a board-sized amount can be harvested each month. The honey you have in your hands is their production from the last two and a half years."
"?!!?"
Did she ask for honey? I wanted... Are you doing this on purpose? Is this your revenge for teasing me earlier?!
Veronica, with a necklace and pendant hanging around her neck, a beast hide and carpet draped over her shoulders, and a large jar cradled in her arms, couldn't help but scowl at Lyon, who seemed intent on continuing to rummage through his belongings.
She first shook off the messy assortment of local specialties, carefully placed the anti-aging and skin-softening snow alder honey, and then reached out to push Lyon's shoulder, guiding him to the large sofa in the center of the room.
"Wait... I still have more specialties to give you."
"No rush, there's plenty of specialties left. One at a time."
Seeing that Lyon was still trying to create complications at this moment, Queen Veronica couldn't help but humph in response. She then reached out and undid the buttons on Lyon's collar, her face flushing as she declared:
"You just returned from the Northern Kingdom, so you can be considered a specialty from there. Tonight, you're mine!"
"Ah?!"
[One hundred thousand words omitted.]

". "
It seems the saber-toothed tiger... Hmm... won't be needed anymore...
Gazing at the newly added badge on the panel, Lyon, awakened by the morning sunlight, couldn't help but touch his nose. He then turned his head to glance at the person beside him.
Queen Veronica, who had enjoyed the "specialties" of the Northern Kingdom for an entire night, was now snuggled under the covers, her messy hair brushed to the side, sleeping soundly.
Lyon gently moved her hair away from her face and stared at her for a while before deftly rolling out of bed. He picked up the dressing mirror that was lying upside down and, with an apologetic expression, spoke to the bound-up Miss [Name Censored] in the mirror:
"Sorry, I didn't want to do this either. It's just that your timing was really off..."
