Dragon Master: The SSS-Ranked School Belle Asked Me To Contract Her Chapter 204: Offer From Sikander

It was kind of silly how just simple communication could have solved so many things. Veer always felt weird when relationship broke because of lack of communication.

Yet, he fell in the sa trap.

"True, but think about it. It wasn't that bad," Rain said. "If we had gotten together before, then there would doubt in both of our minds. So, whatever happened, it was for good. I also realised just how much you an to . We both benefited from it."

"Maybe you're right," Veer nodded. "Anyways, everything is in past now so I want the future to be better. Shall we start with a new beginning?"

"Hmm, can I not answer it?" Rain said with hesitation clear in her voice. "I'm not rejecting you, but I want so ti."

"I an, sure, but can I ask why?" Veer asked in curiosity.

"Boss...Veer, you might be fine with my face but I'm not," Rain spoke, her eyes blazing with determination. "I want you to date the best version of , not this failed one where I can't even show my face to others."

Veer wanted to say sothing but stopped. It was her decision and he would support her. He had waited for a year already so so more ti wouldn't hurt.

He smiled and patted her head lightly, noticing how her ears moved due to it, "You can take your ti, but not too much. So, what exactly do you want? Heal your face?"

"Yes, but also get so confidence," Rain nodded. "I don't want people to question you just because I'm beside you."

In the next mont, a chop landed on her head instead of the pats, as she turned her head and asked, "W-What?"

"You're right. You really do need confidence," Veer sighed. "First of all, who cares who others think? Where were they when you were suffering on the streets? Where are they now when we're fighting a fucking Demi-God?"

He shook his head and said, "I agree, it's necessary to think about other's opinion because it can bother us. But it doesn't an you need to live based on their opinion."

Suddenly, Veer stopped and wondered if his words made her upset. After all, she was doing all of that to protect his image, not hers.

However, Rain just smiled at his words and said, "I knew you would say that. But it isn't just the matter of their opinion. I want to improve and beco the best version of myself and even then I want to surpass that version. I... don't want to be a burden."

"You're seriously saying that while being one of the strongest in our team?" Veer chuckled at that.

"But is that enough? I'm not the strongest yet, and you can still die," Rain said, her voice barely a whisper. "I don't want to go through that again."

Veer didn't need more to understand what she ant. He sighed and said, "Fine! I'll help you then. It's just a face burn, right? Then, we'll find a way to heal it. If it's about your strength, I'll find you the creatures and resources you need to get stronger. And you can't stop from doing it."

Elara had healed Rain multiple tis, but her marks were still there. They were probably made by special ingredients, so normal healing wouldn't help. And that couldn't have Elara push her healing as that would just erase her humanity.

So, they just had two options. They could either wait for Elara to get stronger Enough to heal her, or find so other way to do the sa.

Whatever it was, it would take ti and Veer wanted to lessen that ti.

Rain opened her mouth and closed it. Then, she spoke, "Fine! It's our journey so I don't have any problems in taking your help."

"Good girl!" Veer smiled and patted her head, watching as her tail flipped behind her.

She slowly leaned sideways and rested her head on his shoulder, and said, "Can I stay like this for a while?"

"As long as you want," Veer whispered under his breath.

...

Elara walked out of the cave and headed towards their settlent. While walking, she checked the sun in the sky and thought, 'Little past four!'

Then, she entered the cave system leading to their settlent and continued to walk to et Elizabeth. Even though Aurora and Veer had healed her, she wanted to check her once.

'Will they finally make up this ti?' Elara thought. 'Still, what am I doing? Instead of keeping won away from him, I'm helping my own husband to get more won.'

She shook off thoughts and muttered, "Lily will definitely life Rain and we can just be in a single team. Yeah, I'm sure she'll like her. Still, where is she?"

"Girl!"

Elara stopped hearing the grumpy voice from her sides and realised she had passed by Sikander's room.

She walked back and stood on his room's entrance and asked, "What happened, Old man?"

"You brats really needs to learn to respect elders," the dark elf shook his head in dejection and muttered. "Others respect but you two are just beasts."

"Then, do sothing that makes respect you," Elara rolled her eyes and entered the room. "I can't respect a drunkard, can I?"

Sikander just laughed at that and continued to drink his wine, "You're a nasty one, huh. How did you fall for him?"

That question ca out of nowhere, taking her by surprise as she asked, "What's that gotta do with you, Old man? Why are you suddenly intrested in your descendants dating life?"

"I'm just curious," Sikander chuckles softly. "Godfire...was arch enemy of Abyssal Royalty Bloodline, so I'm just curious how did you even co together?"

"What happened in the past has nothing to do with us though?" Elara blinked and asked. "I love him, and he loves . Problem ends right there."

"Well, it doesn't, you see. But you'll know it in later parts of your life. If you survive this place, that is," Sikander gulped down another cup and said.

Elara was speechless, and asked, "Did you just call here to tell that we might fight in future because soone in past did that?"

"You can ignore this old man's rambling," Sikander sighed and said. "I just wanted to warn you. And no, I didn't call you for that."

Elara didn't say anything and just stared at him. Sohow, he felt different from his usual self. Did he finally get drink after drinking for over a year?

"What's with that look? I'm just helping you," Sikander shook his head and said. "What I want to say is, he cannot defeat that lizard, even if he clears all of the floating islands and sohow manages to reach the seal."

"How are you so sure?" Elara asked.

"I drink and I know things."

"Stop trying to be mysterious, old man. You're just looking like a holess old man," Elara rolled her eyes and stood up.

"Alright, you brat really have no sense of humour," Sikander's eyes turned serious, as if he wasn't drinking a mont ago. "I will teach you to control your Godfire better but on one condition."

Elara's eyes sparkled as she stepped forward and asked, "What is it?"

"I want you to hide things from him."

"Impossible!"

"Take a second to think about it. I'm not asking you to hide important things or anything. I just want you to hide your progress with the Godfire and keep it at your current level till you're faced with that lizard," Sikander didn't look surprised on her outburst as he had already expected that.

Elara didn't answer imdiately and asked, "Why?"

"You will understand everything when you reach there. I can tell you a few things though," Sikander smiled. "But they're related to the gods so you will get Corrupted."

He threw aside the wine gourd and continued, "But that's an easy thing to solve. I will make sure the corruption is very low level, sothing your Godfire can easily suppress."

"Umm, can I take my question? I don't want to beco corrupted?"

She had seen the results of corruption so how could she allow a seed of corruption within her. Even if she had Godfire which was a bane to corruption, who knew how long it work?

It was basically like carrying a nuke with her all the ti.

"You can, of course," Sikander chuckled and Stepped forward. "However that's the only way you can take your Godfire to next level in a shit ti."

Elara hesitated. She didn't doubt Sikander much, because of the ti they spent together and also because she knew of his strength.

Beside, if he really wanted to corrupt her, he wouldn't have asked for her permission. He just needed to recite that forbidden knowledge and she would get Corrupted naturally.

She took a deep breath and asked, "Can you explain all of this in detail?"

"Sure!"
