599 Chapter 599: I told you
The woman that he had taken as a hostage to save his life, was at the Auction House. The person that he stole her from, was also here. But it was not even the least of his worries, as the Second Primordial's sister was also here.
If looks could kill, then he would have been killed a thousand times over by now.
He was sure that she already heard about the things he said to her brother. She was already upset that he made a mess in Hellhound City, and left her to deal with it. On top of that, he went to the First Primordial?
The reason she wanted him in the first place was to take the first primordial down. Instead, he became close to the person that he was supposed to help her brother take down.
"Princess of the Nightwing Clan." Eren smiled, and pretended as if everything was perfectly normal.
He didn't show even the slightest of regret about leaving her behind with the Second Primordial's sister. In that situation, it was the safest place for her after all.
If he had taken her with him, then she would've been linked with an outsider. But when he left her with the young dragon, she became a woman that was kidnapped by an outsider and left behind when she ran out of her use.
He was sure that it was what she would have preferred in any case. Now, she didn't have to worry about being considered a traitor, as long as he kept his mouth shut.
He was the outsider in this world, but still, Yevni felt like she had her weakness in Eren's hands. If he told others that she was properly helping him, then she could only imagine the consequences.
"This outsider seems to have a history with them. Are you sure he isn't a spy sent by the Second Primordial?" Jenia whispered in Estelia's ears. "We all know the ambitions of the Second Primordial."
"What are you talking about? My father won't be fooled like that," Estelia found it hard to believe. Even though her father was sometimes very childish, he was a very clever person.
He couldn't be fooled this easily. If Eren was a spy that was sent by the Second Primordial, then her father would have realized it.
"Unless..." She suddenly started frowning, thinking of a possibility where her father might have been overtaken by the emotions of seeing a person that came from his world.
Even though she didn't want to believe it, she started seeing Eren with suspicions. She made up her mind to observe him closely, to judge him.
Jenia thought that she was convincing Estelia to start hating Eren for being a traitor. She didn't realise that she had only convinced her to stay with Eren even longer, all to see if he was a traitor or not.
Eren was distracted by the two ladies before him, and didn't know that Estelia had already started paying more attention to him. Initially, she was only going to create distance from him after the auction was over, but now her plans had changed.
Even if they were back at the mansion, she wanted to be with him. Even if it was because she looked at him with suspicions, Eren wouldn't have minded. @@novelbin@@
"What did you say to my brother?" Second Primordial's sister asked, almost as if she was resisting her urges to beat up Eren.
Unfortunately, she couldn't do it. Now, he was the guest of the first primordial and Estelia was also here with him. It was troublesome to hurt him, at least openly.
Eren approached the Dragon Princess until there was only half a meter of distance between them. He looked deep in her eyes, and asked, "Did he not tell you?"
"He didn't tell me anything. But he was really angry. I only heard that he met you, and had a little conversation with you. So tell me! What did you say to him?" The Dragon Princess repeated the question.
She had never seen her brother this angry in her life. Even when he destroyed the Hellhound City, he was not this angry. But when he returned after meeting with Eren, he was enraged.
Eren grew slightly amused. Was the Second Primordial really so angry over being called a lizard? He didn't even insult him that much. Then again, it made sense for him to not tell his sister that a mere outsider had insulted him like this, and lived to tell the tale.
He could tell the girl the truth, but he didn't feel like it. Instead, he felt like messing with her a little more. He still hadn't forgotten the fact that she tried to screw him over, all so that he had no choice but to beg her for help.
"You!" The Dragon Princess was stunned to see Eren come even closer. She subconsciously moved back, but Eren didn't allow her.
He grabbed the back of her head, and stopped her from moving back. He brought his lips closer to her ears and whispered, "I simply asked him for your hand in marriage."
The moment he finished speaking, he released her and jumped back, not even giving her a chance to attack him. He was already hit by Estelia because he wasn't prepared. This time, he wasn't going to give anyone that opportunity.
However, to his surprise, the Dragon Princess didn't seem to attack him. She simply looked like she was at a loss of words, as her face had gone crimson. It was unclear if it was because of anger, or shame.
Did this man really ask her brother for her hand in marriage?! No wonder her brother was so angry when he came back home!
She opened her cherry lips to speak, but in the end, she didn't say anything. She simply grabbed Yevni's hand and walked away, leaving the place for the private room that was assigned to him.
Eren watched the girl leave, finding it hard to digest her strange reaction. Just what was going through that girl's head?
What do you think?
