Eren wasn't sure what the girl's true intentions were. Was she going to try to enslave him when she finds out that he didn't have anything like that? That seed to be the most likely case in the current situation.
"She is not my owner," Eren told the Draconian Girl, who revealed quite a surprise.
"She is not your owner?" She didn't understand why Eren was protecting that girl if she wasn't her owner.
"Then who is your owner?" she asked Eren, really hoping that it wasn't one of the other Primordials. If that was the case, then it was truly the worst scenario.

"I will tell you if you answer my question first. What do you want to do with my master?" Eren asked the girl, trying to gauge her true intentions.
"I want to buy your slave seal from him. But you don't have to worry. As long as you co with us, you would have a life thousand tis better.'
She told Eren that she was planning to buy him, which was exactly what he had guessed. After seeing his capabilities, it would've been surprising if she didn't desire to have a slave like him.
Unfortunately for her, he didn't have any master. He couldn't be controlled through any seal, and he wasn't planning to enter servitude either.
"I am happy with my current master. You don't have to worry about ." Eren used blink, and appeared next to Yevni.
Seeing him teleport, the draconian girl was even more stunned. Her eyes were almost shining in fascination. Eren could really use space.
Eren held Yevni's hand, helping her up. He supported her, walking past the young dragon as his wings retracted.
The girl opened her lips, but before she could utter a single sentence, Eren spoke.
"If you want to threaten about exposing what happened here to the Hellhounds, then you don't have to brother. You are free to do what you want."
It was true that she wanted to convince him. She even though about using the event that happened here to tell him that only she could protect him from the Hellhounds.
Before she could even have an opportunity to say it, Eren already rejected her offer. It was as if he wasn't scared of death at all.
She couldn't be any more wrong. Eren was scared of death the most. He was the person who cherished life the most.
The only reason he didn't take her help was because he knew that she wasn't going to expose him. If she wanted him, then she couldn't tell the Hellhounds. She couldn't afford him dying.
It was also because of that sa reason, she couldn't use her guards to kill him. She could try to use her guards to suppress him and capture him without hurting him, but it was almost impossible.
Eren was of the dragon species. He was definitely much stronger than he revealed. She didn't believe that her guards could suppress him without killing him. It was also because of that, her options were very limited.
She had already revealed her strong desire, which gave Eren the advantage in this negotiation. From this point onwards, he just had to take advantage of the situation.
Just as he expected, the guard of the girl raised a sword. The tip of the Sword was rely inches away from his chest.
In response, Eren only smiled. He touched the blade of the sword, raising it until it was resting against his throat.
"A dragon doesn't die imdiately after their hearts are stabbed. They can still cause a lot more damage. If you want to take out a dragon, you should go for the throat," he told the guard, who glared at him.
Her killing intent beca even heavier, making Yevni feel like she was suffocating.
"That's enough! You are here to protect , not harm people!" The young dragon shouted, making the guard stop abruptly.
"But young lady, he is being-"
"You don't have to ntion it. I can take care of my own matters! Let him go."
The guard frowned, but she couldn't go against the orders of her master. She retracted her sword and stepped away from Eren's path.
Eren waved his hand without looking back, walking away from the Draconian Girl. His plan had worked, but only partially.
He still has a smile on his lips, expecting a reaction soon. Just because that girl let him walk away, didn't an she was letting him go.
"How long are you going to follow ?" His voice didn't reveal his true thoughts, appearing slightly irritated instead.
"Until you tell about your master." A young woman's voice ca from behind him.
The girl was following him, just as he wanted. Although it was going to attract a lot more attention to him, it was the best option for his safety in the current situation.
He needed to go to the capital. What better way than to get close to the young girl that was greedy for more than she could have.
"What if I say that I don't have a master?" Eren asked the girl, making it appear like a hypothetical question.
"I would've been so much happier if that was the case. Wouldn't that an that we can have you for ourselves?"
"By enslaving ?" Eren asked.
"That's for our protection. We can't let an outsider roam freely, out of control. However, enslavent doesn't an that you lose your rights."
"What if I don't want an enslavent seal? Do you think you can force like you people did with the other slaves?" Eren asked again.
The more he spoke, the less hypothetical his questions were sounding. It was as if he was intentionally making his situation clear.
Normally, it would have been a foolish decision. That's why Yevni was pinching him hard, trying to warn him. Eren ignited her entirely, having a plan of his own.
"You..." The dragon girl was also starting to realize that sothing felt out of place.
