Chapter 115: Date!
Chapter 115: Date!
It didn't take long for Elfina to get out of the guild building, Draco, by then, was already out and Dreadful, his drone was in vehicle mode, waiting for the lady to get out.
Elfina was surprised to see this model of flying cars; she had only ever seen those of the very top-echelon riding it. She could easily guess that Draco was rich because he was in the Core Area, but this... Maybe there was more to him than meets the eye.
She then looked at Draco to see that he was standing next to the door of the Vehicle and looking at her with a welcoming smile that sent shivers down her body.
"Shall we?" he said, The words he spoke, unlike before, seemed like whispers of the devil that almost took her soul with them.
Barely keeping control over herself, Elfina nodded with a sweet 'mhm' as she took Draco's hands to go up the vehicle, knowing far well that wherever she was going now, she would never be the same after.
Once again inside the dimensions of the vehicle, Dreadful remained silent, not even notifying the two that it had entered the warp highway, only needing 19 minutes to reach the outer layer.
Elfina sat on the wide table while nervously moving her legs like a little girl.
The table was made out of some polished wood that looked luxurious but was smaller than the one when Alexander and all of his wives were there. As for the rest of the dimension, It was totally white, But, Draco could customize however he wanted, he just didn't care.
Candles lit the table and the 'couple' looked at each other before Elfina rapidly looked down.
'How cute.' Draco thought.
Not wanting to let the poor lady be as nervous, he looked at her, who was no longer as enthusiastic as before and said.
"I'm pretty impressed at how a lady such as you is dealing with this Prison Life. How did you do it?" Draco asked, Directly attacking her with questions relating to her personal life and praising her.
Elfina, who was just about about to start playing with her hands out of nervousness, suddenly raised her head to look and Draco blushed.
"Oh, Thank you! Well, you see, I had a friend that has connections with the Guild Master of this station, and she helped snatch this job quite easily and I didn't even have to struggle to find a station; she directly teleported me with her when we broke through to become Transcendents." she replied, slowly regaining her previous enthusiasm.
"What a nice friend." Draco said.
"She is!" Elfina replied excitedly before she stopped when she felt herself getting a little bit too excited.
But then, when she looked at Draco and saw him sweetly smiling at her she eased down and continued talking.
"I grew up in a poor family, You see. The central continent is a harsh place to live in. Not as Harsh as the Prison. But, well, you know, if your family isn't privileged, you will have a hard time going up the ranks."
"Thankfully, I met this friend of mine while I was studying at the Celestial Academy, and she was amazing! She ranked among the top 100, was so diligent and strong, and always helped me when I had a problem. She's my Best Friend!" She said.
"Oh, I feel you; living in poor conditions is indeed hard. I also experienced that when I was an orphan. My mother died when I was only 3 months old, and my aunt took me in, but her husband was quite an alcoholic, so he always beat me."
"All I have to say is that you need to keep your head up and resist all of life's challenges." Draco threw in a little bit of his own 'backstory' while leaving her friend behind and talking about her, so she felt like he was actually interested in her and not her friend, and then he lied about himself to make her more comfortable.
He was a demon; what did you expect?
Elfina heard this and smiled.
"That's right." she said.
Then she seized Draco with a cute frown, making the latter shuckle inwardly as he asked.
"What is it?"
"Ah, Nothing! You just don't look like someone who grew up an orphan or in a poor family, you see." Elfina.
"Haha, I hear that all the time. Indeed, I was an orphan, but the harsh reality I grew up in made me not want to experience that feeling of a sword's edge hanging over my neck just because I didn't know if I would be able to eat that day or not."
"I worked hard enough to be able to eat for eternity and never think about it again." Draco said.
"Wow! That's amazing." Elfina opened her small mouth in an 'o' shape when she heard what Draco just said.
"Thank you. But, you're not any less amazing, being able to reach the transcendent realm while still being so young is an achievement to be proud of." Draco said with a smile of gratitude.
"Hehe, stop it! It's nothing that amazing; you're so much better." she said.
"Well, you see, I wasn't fortunate enough to join the Celestial Academy, so I took the hard way up."
"But it matters not; being able to meet a beauty such as you is worth every effort." Draco said.
This time he added the little 'you see' she says so much, spoke of the difficulties he went through to make her compassionate with him, and lastly smoothly praised her for hitting many different weak points all at once.
Elfina chuckled cutely when she heard Draco's last words, not knowing what to say.
Draco also smiled as he took his cup of coffee, rested his head back on the seat, and enjoyed the ride to the restaurant.
The poor lady didn't know who she was entangled with, and she was falling down an abyss that doesn't let its prisoners out.
