It's no wonder Cecilia was so anxious. Heaven knows how long she had waited, enduring decades to watch him grow from a young dragon to a youth dragon.
Although Tassera met Leon first, it didn't mean she had already won. Coming early didn't matter as much as coming at the right time. Who would triumph in the end was still uncertain—it all depended on who could help Leon lay eggs first. Strange as it might sound, Leon's mindset leaned more toward that of humans, placing great importance on continuing his lineage.
In this situation, since Leon hadn't yet entered his youth stage, Cecilia wasn't in a rush at all.
But as Leon stepped into adolescence, maturing gradually, Cecilia knew that although she'd have to wait until mid-youth for Leon to become fertile, she couldn't delay her preparations any longer. Otherwise, she'd never catch up to Tassera's pace and might even fall hopelessly behind her.
