Endless Lifetime with you

Chapter 5 - Make my mark, you are mine now

"Estelle".

Drake looked at Estelle in the eyes and the redness of his ear disappeared, leaned and kissed her hand. He looked back at her eyes gain, this time it wasn't only a soft look that was on his face. Drake smiled.

'It's probably the smile that concurred the hearts of those unfortunate women' The though somehow made Estella's chest hurt more. Like it's contracting. Since she was now a mortal, such pain can be clearly felt. Just because she can heal even larger wounds doesn't mean that she does not mind the pain.

"It's disgusting." Estella said out loud.

"What is?" Drake was surprised on Estella's words. He then let go of her hand so suddenly. Thinking that Estella might not like physical touch unlike the other women that had been beside him. 'I might be too forward' he thought.

'His ears are red again' Estella felt somehow relieved and then the pain calmly vanished. But she felt longing for something. Then Drake expressed his shyness when he tried scratching his neck with his hand. Estelle's eyes were drawn to his hand then her chest begun to clench again, and her face felt hot.

'Ivory!' Estelle felt speechless, blaming Ivory's body over the feelings she had been feeling.

"Would you like to walk back together?" Drake broke the silence, after getting back his coolness.

"What about the Dragon Egg?" Both of them looked at the egg in the throne. It was still wiggling, and a tiny noise of cracking can be heard. It was also emitting a large flame like aura.

"Would you like to keep it?" Drake said. Estelle looked at him who was now looking at Estelle. Her faced flushed and immediately looked away.

"Too troublesome."

Drake chuckled. "It might draw attention if seen within the palace. I'll take it back to my house."

Estelle sighed. She turned to look directly at his eyes, without being embarrass. "Do you know why it's here?"

"No." Drake shook his head. "I just stumbled the path after chasing after a Reaper."

Estelle then flinched and remembered the Reaper whom she killed earlier. She then opened her bad and looked for the crystalline that had the monster's dead body.

"Ohh you mean this?" Estelle showed the crystalline to Drake who observed it for a little bit by leaning a bit closer. Drake's movement made Estelle uneasy, so she pulled back her hand that was holding the crystalline, back into the bag. She then took a step back, getting into a defensive position.

Drake was surprised for a moment. He chuckled. His laughing was so annoying which helped Estelle realized that she was acting weird. To hide her feeling of being weak, she leaped back and composed a full-on defensive position. Estelle glared at Drake.

Estelle's response made Drake laugh a little. But it can't go on like this. Drake shook the laughter, even though he wanted to see Estelle looking cute a few minutes longer.

Drake looked at the egg. He then raised his hand and chant a teleportation spell. Estelle watched him for a little while, calming herself in the process and went into normal mode. She sighed. Estelle used her magic to teleport her mask that was on the floor into her hand. She turned towards the door and was about to walk away.

"Please wait!" Drake screamed, which made Estelle stop but she didn't look back. She just stood on her place.

"E-Estelle". Teleported in front of Estelle. He was only a few inches away but that didn't bother Estelle. Since she wore a mask, but if she didn't, she won't stop feeling shy while looking straight to Drake's face. "Since our final destination is the Bloody Guild, how about we go together?"
