Dragon Master: The SSS-Ranked School Belle Asked Me To Contract Her

While Rain was on full alert with weapons drawn, Veer was relaxed as he recognized that arrow. That style. It was a unique trait of one of the clans in his homeland, after all.

He sighed and thought, "What good timing you have."

Taking a step forward, he shouted, "Do you really wanna kill me that much?"

At his words, another arrow came toward him, silent as ever, and flew past him. He didn't even flinch, as he just continued to look in a particular direction. His eyes never wavered for once, even when the arrow was close to hitting his face.

There was a momentary silence, full of tension for Rain, who couldn't understand the situation. Did her boss know the attacker? Then why were they being attacked?

After a while, something—or someone—landed before Veer, having a sharp blade at his neck. However, even with that, Veer stayed firm on his position.

He smiled and said, "Good to see you're doing good."

Aurora's hand shook for a moment before she pressed it tightly against his throat and growled, "Don't test my patience, Veer Ainsworth. I will kill you."

"Then do it," Veer said, his voice showing no hints of hesitation. "I want to resolve this now. I know what I did and let me tell you, if I was given another chance, I would do it again. The only regret I have is leaving you there."

His eyes, filled with guilt and a strange resolution, looked directly into Aurora's. He stepped forward, making the blade sink deeper, as he said, "I deserve your hate and if you want to kill me, do it now. I won't even lift my finger."

Aurora struggled hard to keep her blade in place, as her heart shook. She tried to mask her feelings and scoffed, "Heh, so that those two women of yours can come after me? Unlike you, I care about my family and would never do anything to endanger them."

"I know," Veer smiled and thought, 'Isn't that the reason I didn't inform you of my decision, silly?'

He turned towards Rain, who was still looking at everything with a dumbfounded look on her face. He scratched his cheeks and said, "Um, Rain, do me a favour and tell everyone that I died while fighting a Magical Creature, okay?"

Rain's whole body shook, as her mind went blank. The only thought left in it was the fact that Veer was going to die. The woman before him was killing him. He was dying.

He would be dead.

Everything else vanished, as her desires overtook her sanity. Dark mist formed around her as she growled, "How dare you take him away from me?"

Before the duo could react, Rain vanished from her spot and appeared before the blonde elf, taking her by surprise. Eyes full of madness, Rain opened her mouth and tried to take a bite off her neck.

However, Veer caught her in time and pulled her back. He was equally surprised by her actions but understood that it might be because of that dark mist she had devoured from the Dark Mist Guardian.

"Oii! I'm completely fine here, what do you mean?" Veer held her by the collar of her battle suit and asked.

Something snapped in Rain as she regained her clarity and turned her face. A beautiful smile bloomed on her face, as she hugged Veer, taking both of them by surprise as she cried, "Boss! Don't leave me! Please! I will do everything you say, even if you're just using me for your benefits. I don't care. Just don't leave me."

Veer was taken aback and for a moment, he didn't know how to react to her cries. He could sense desperation, fear, and many more emotions in them. His hands trembled slightly, as he tried to raise one, 'Am I even worth giving someone hope?'

Aurora's face darkened seeing the scene before her, as her grip on her daggers tightened. She wanted to attack this girl who was clinging to her Veer, but she couldn't bring herself to do so.

She saw her past in her. The cries of despair hit right in her heart, reminding her of her childhood.

Seeing Veer's trembling hand, she thought, 'You say you have regrets, yet you're hesitating. Are you planning to make her another Aurora?'

She took Veer's hand and put it on Rain's head. Ignoring Veer's shocked face, she mouthed her words, "Don't you dare disappoint her."

Then, she turned around and left them alone, as she couldn't bring herself to watch more of that. She would just be tempted to kill Rain even more because it made her heart bleed.

Veer looked at her retreating figure and smiled, 'You have grown up, huh. I guess I'm the only one stuck on myself.'

He sighed and mentally slapped himself. Then, he caressed Rain's head and whispered softly, "Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere. Also, don't treat yourself like an object. I'm not using you and never will."

Even though he reassured her, Rain continued to cry on his shoulder, making his battle suit wet. Apparently, the situation had hit her weakness directly and heavily.

Veer felt his heart tighten at her tears, but could do nothing to stop it. He simply continued to reassure her and caress her head.

It took some time for Rain to calm down, but by then she had exhausted herself and drifted into a deep sleep. Fortunately, there was a sweet smile on her face as she continued to hug him.

Veer sighed and looked around, only to find Aurora leaning against a tree while playing with a small needle. He asked, "Anywhere we can rest?"

Aurora gave Rain a glance and then nodded. She turned around and, without a word, began to walk away. Veer could guess her mental state, so he didn't try to initiate a conversation and simply followed her. Read latest stories on empire

They passed by many trees and some small streams before reaching the safe place Aurora meant. Surprisingly, Veer found a surprise there.
