22 Destiny begins III (2/2)
”Here” Arrora gave Don his robes back as he just flicked his wrist and a layer of light covered the robes then disappeared along with the robes.
”Space ring” Arrora said in surprise.
”You knew about this ring?” Knight asked in surprise as well.
”Yes my father had one it was very expensive”
”So this world has space rings too huh”
”Alright, I'll go to my tent before Arwen comes searching” Amaryll began to walk to her tent leaving the trio behind.
”Tomorrow we are going to find Dragon King's castle” Don said looking at Arrora.
”We? You mean you and me?” She was a little bit confused.
”Yes you, me and Uncle Dior”
”But I won't be much help to you”
”As you've already guessed you and I are bonded its better you stay with me” as he said he activated the slave bond in Arrora's body with his master bond using battle energy when he did that a small light appeared on Arrora's chest.
Arrora thought about it for a moment and eventually nodded in approval to Don's plan.
”I don't like making people as slaves so I won't treat you like one”
”But what if I try to kill you and get myself free of this bond” Arrora asked mustering her courage but Don didn't react too much as he simply said
”Then I'll kill you before even thinking about trying”
Arrora felt the weight of his words. It was a simple expression but she knew he meant every word he said, if she tries to cross him he'll kill her as simple as that however she had no reason to betray the man who saved her. Arrora felt deeply grateful towards Don for the mercy he showed to her.
Promise or not he wouldn't have to save her as people break their promises all the time she knew very well about that.
”Don thank you” Arrora said after a moment she meant every single word of it.
Don didn't say anything but simply nodded.
”You should get some rest, take this hut I can make a new one” Don said while pointing at his hut to Arrora but she shook her in disagreement
”Don't worry I'm not going to sleep but you should” as he said don sat on the ground and looked up at the starry sky with Knight.
”No, I already got enough rest so if you don't mind,” Arrora asked and waited for Don's permission to sit beside him, after a few seconds he gestured her to sit beside him and knight.
The three of them sat there and looked at the beautiful starry night in silence.
”Don is it going to be dangerous tomorrow?” Arrora couldn't help but ask thinking about the journey that's waiting for her.
”I don't know we'll see”
Arrora wasn't very assured to hear this answer.
”Wha...what if I became a burden?” it was the question that running havoc in her mind especially after she saw Don created a mini storm moments ago, he was very powerful so to stay at his side and get his protection she has to be useful to him not be a burden.
”What's your cultivation?”
”Peak master level why?”
”After we find the castle ill train you and help you breakthrough”
”You'll do that?” Arrora was surprised she realized how hard it was to breakthrough due to lack of resources while she was on the run but now she heard Don saying that he'll help her breakthrough if he could do that she would reach great master realm, at that point, she would be powerful enough to protect herself from most of her enemies while not being a burden to Don.
Suddenly a thought crossed her mind,
”If he could help me reach great master level what level is he at? Can he be a grandmaster?”
Even a simple thought about the grandmaster level intimidated her.
”If he really is a grandmaster” her home was burning, her parents dying in front of her, the life she had on the run, the faces of her enemies all of them were playing in her mind vividly making her eyes turn to red in anger,
”I'll earn Don's trust and with him, I'll make them pay every last one of them”
Although Don himself said he'll make them pay but she wanted to take revenge with her own hands before she met Don she had no such ideas nor any means to take revenge but now she has him.
Unknowingly to herself, she started to depend on Don.
