Chapter 625: Secret Relationship
"Were you a hamster in your last life?" Eren watched the girl, trying to bite his flesh off.
If it were anyone else, it might have actually been possible, but his physical defenses had long surpassed that stage, especially with his dragon bloodline. Even though it hurt, it was far less damaging.
"I was trying to stop you, but you fell on top of me. Can you really blame me for it?" he asked the girl, who was feasting on him as if he were some kind of delicacy. "Also, can you stop biting me? It hurts."
"Mmmmd!" Estelia made a noise, trying to say that it was good if he was hurt. She bit down even harder, while resisting his attempt to free her hands.
"If you don’t stop biting me, I might really do something to you..." Eren warned the girl, who was refusing to let go of his shoulder.
"You!" Estelia freed his shoulder and looked at him, the corners of her eyes still wet, like a person who had been wronged.
She tried to free her hands, but Eren kept them in place, telling her, "I will release you if you promise me that you won’t attack me again!"
Estelia could simply promise that she wasn’t going to try to hurt him anymore, and he would have freed her.
But that was one promise that she didn’t want to make, especially since he did deserve a punishment for what he did to her. She couldn’t let him go without at least some proper beating.
Now that she had some time to calm down, she remembered that she wasn’t alone in this place. This was the mansion of her family, and her parents were right inside the mansion.
Did she really need Eren’s mercy to be freed? She could easily be freed without his help, by just getting her mother to come.
"Mothe-" Estelia screamed at the top of lungs, to call her mother for help.
"Fuk!" Eren’s expressions darkened, watching the girl scream. If her mother did arrive and misunderstood the situation, then he didn’t even know how he was going to explain.
His mind went blank and he subconsciously reached, raising his head. He placed his lips on her lips, this time intentionally to close her mouth since his hands were busy.
"Ummm?!" Estelia’s eyes widened in disbelief. She tried to move her head back, but she wasn’t able to separate her lips from his.
Just as he was worried, Estelia’s family did hear something. Lysander asked Trisa, "Did you hear that? It sounded like Estelia’s voice."
"I did hear something," Trisa agreed, and approached the window. She looked outside, trying to see what that noise was.
Eren had cast an invisibility shroud over himself and Estelia to protect them, but the shroud was completely ineffective before Estelia’s mother.
"That boy..." Trisa’s face turned red when she saw Eren lying on the grass, and her daughter lying on top of him. They seemed to be busy sharing a passionate kiss.
Looking at the sight, Trisa also grew somewhat embarrassed and turned away, not wanting to intrude.
"That boy... I thought he was still trying to win her heart. To think that he had already gone so far. The two kept their relationship hidden very well." She rubbed her forehead, but there was still a smile on her lips.
"What did you see?" Lysander watched his wife’s strange reaction and grew even more curious.
"It’s nothing. The kids are just playing around. Don’t disturb them." Trisa cast a barrier around the room to prevent Lysander from using his divine sense to look outside.
If Eren and her daughter had kept these things a secret from them, then she thought that they were embarrassed.
Until they were confident enough to tell them openly, she didn’t want to let them know that she already knew about their relationship.
At least, that’s what she believed, unaware that Eren was simply trying to survive. He didn’t have the privilege to think about anything.
After a long time, Eren released her lips, and told Estelia, "Stop screaming now! If this misunderstanding doesn’t stop, I will be dead!"
Estelia gasped for breath, the moment her lips were released. Her body was completely frozen in place as she looked at him, the heavy scent of her lips left on his lips that were bleeding because of her bite.
"I told you that I couldn’t return to earth, but it wasn’t because I couldn’t find a way back! It was simply because I am too strong for earth now. If I was to return, I would just be treated like a monster in a world where everyone is much weaker!"
He gave the best possible explanation about why he couldn’t return to earth. Even though most of it was pure lies, there was no way for her to know that.
"I didn’t want you to trouble your parents for something that I didn’t want to do in the first place! So I was trying to stop you, but you lost your balance and fell on me!"
He mixed truth with lies. Even if his reason was a lie, the accident was completely true. However everything else that happened after that, was the true problem.
"After that you..." Estelia looked at Eren, gasping for breath. Her face was completely red, but Eren was certain that it was more from anger and less from embarrassment.
"I told you that I would free you if you promised to listen to me and not attack me. Out of nowhere, you started screaming! If your mother had seen me like this, would she wait for an explanation? I would’ve been killed on the spot!"
"I had no choice but to kiss you!" he exclaimed, his gaze subconsciously falling to her lips.
"Now that I have told you everything, I will free you. If you still think that I was in the wrong, then you can call your parents. Or you can kill me yourself. I will not resist."
Eren released her hands, and told her that he was going to accept her punishment without any resistance. However, deep down, he knew that he couldn’t really accept death.
A few seconds passed since he had released Estelia, but she still didn’t get up.
Her teary eyes were looking at him, as if she was thinking if she could believe him or not. The longer she thought, the more time Eren had, to breathe in her sweet scent.
What do you think?
