Chapter 563: Dignity of a Dragon
"Do you..." The girl hesitated for a moment. She wasn't sure if she was on the right line of thought. But his words made her feel as if there was a possibility.
"I don't have a slave seal." Eren told the girl, despite the signals from Yevni, advising him against it.
Eren understood that the girl wasn't going to leave him until she found out about his so-called owner. It was only a matter of time before she found out the reality.
Before that happened, he had to take the initiative in his own hand, leaving the girl overwhelmed.
There was a possibility that she might think about turning him into a slave, but could she really do that without killing him? It was impossible. It wasn't as if she knew that he could come back to life after death.
"How is that possible? That bracelet..." She was so overwhelmed that she didn't even think about anything, rushing past Eren.
She stopped in front of him and tore his shirt open, looking at his bare chest.
"You truly don't..." Although it was unbelievable, she was able to verify that Eren didn't have the soul enslavement.
In that moment, she felt hundreds of emotions, not knowing which emotions to focus on. There was excitement that she didn't have to deal with another owner that might know about the special existence of Eren.
There was also a certain extent of fear. Eren was an outsider, who was extremely powerful. He was also able to use the element of space that only the First Primordial could use.
Stay tuned with empire
As special as he was, he was also extremely dangerous. There was nothing stopping him from going berserk. There was no seal to keep him in place.
Eren took a step back and buttoned his shirt, hiding his bare chest. He thought the girl might be overwhelmed, but he didn't think that she was going to do something like this so openly.
It was especially surprising since there were so many people watching.
"Did she just..."
"Who is that man? How can she be so close to him?"
She had suddenly closed in on a man, tearing his shirt open. It was something that was done between lovers in the privacy of their homes. It was never done so openly.
Many people were starting to wonder if the man was her lover. In that case, wasn't he going to become the brother in law of a Primordial?
That thought was just as shocking for everyone, especially since they could see the bracelet of slavery around his wrist. It was clear that Eren was an outsider.
The girl, finally registering the whispers around her, blushed crimson. She had acted impulsively, driven by a desperate need for answers. Only now did she realize what she had done.
She couldn't just tell them that she was checking for his slave seal, as that might alert the hounds. She couldn't even offer any explanation.
Still, she didn't like being stared at by everyone like this. She had to get out of here, but not without Eren.
She grabbed Eren's hands, beautiful white wings appearing behind her. The wings spread out and she rose in the air, bringing Eren with her.
Yevni was still in Eren's arms, so she was also dragged along, which made people even more shocked. Was this some love triangle? When the Draconian Princess was expressing her interest in a slave, he still had time to think about another girl?
Soon, the Dragon Princess disappeared into the horizon, reaching the central part of the Hellhound City.
It was the part of the city where the most important people lived. It was also the place where the City Lord's Mansion was established.
Not far from the City Lord's Palace, there was an estate which belonged to the Second Primordial. The estate had been closed for a long time.
For the first time in a while, the estate was opened. The girl simply rushed inside with Eren. The leader of her Guardians also entered right behind her, still hiding in her shadow to protect her.
The doors of the estate closed again, with the remaining guards stationing themselves outside.
The estate of the second primordial was opened after a long time. It wasn't something that could be kept hidden, especially the appearance of the Draconian Princess.
The news had already reached the Lord of Hellhound City. The Lord had already sent some people to invite the Princess to the Lord's Palace for a meeting.
The girl didn't know anything that was happening outside. She was standing inside the house, with Eren standing not far from her.
"You know that you are going to be enslaved if anyone finds out that you are free?" she asked Eren. "Instead of becoming the slave of a Hellhound, why not come under my control?"
"A Dragon doesn't serve anyone," Eren told the girl, already taking a glimpse of her status screen. "That's why you are wrong."
The girl was strong, but if he wanted, he could definitely take her out. Her guards were a bit more problematic, but it wasn't impossible either.
"In this world, I would either stay free or die fighting. That applies to everyone."
He knew that the girl was also a dragon, and dragons were known for their dignity. Although the girl said she wanted to enslave him, he knew that he could change her thoughts.
For him, there was no better defence than a dragon's dignity? If she insisted on turning him into a slave, she was going to lose him. And even if she managed to capture him on the off chance, turning him into a slave was going to destroy the dignity of the dragons.
Although they were different species, at the core, they were born dragons. If his dignity was destroyed, it was going to affect all the dragons. For her, it was a bigger loss as he was much more useful to her alive than dead.
