Chapter 177: Can’t Catch A Break
“Well, I can explain...”
I spoke out as I looked at the angry and disgruntled Elda, hearing my words her lips remained pouted as she held her arms as she waited for my words, truthfully it was getting very hard to keep my focus, especially when Elda looked too cute and beautiful right now
“I’m listening...”
Elda said as she looked at me with suspicious eyes, I could only smile wryly at it as I heaved out loud, I walked towards the sofa in my room as I sat down, looking at Elda I spoke
“I was with Scarlet on a date”
My voice was heard across the room as silence remained, looking at Elda, I could see that her face was of utmost disbelief, her eyes were wavering and her appearance was of someone that had seem their world tumbling down, truth being I could lie right now but on the long run that would only be problematic
It’s always better to have at least a bit of truth in everything, otherwise when I weave another lie around this one it would get more difficult in the future, it took a few moments before Elda finally broke out of her daze as she spoke
“Da-Date?”
Elda asked me with hopeful, yet a bit of despaired eyes, I didn’t deny it as I nodded my head to her answer, causing her eyes to widen more but she was able to quickly get her bearing as her eyes narrowed as she spoke
“Big Brother when you said Scarlet did you mean the Scarlet? the only half-dragon in existence?”
“Yes”
I nodded my head once again as I affirmed Elda’s answer, causing her eyes to widen again in disbelief, this time due to a different reason, she stood there in shock, after all, it is not every day you hear that the Academies most famous girl goes out with your brother and that too being a dragon
“How?”
Elda finally spoke, reeling in some of her shocks, to which I sat back to my sofa in a tired way as I spoke
“I see.....”
Hearing my answer Elda nodded her head as she leaned back onto my shoulder, she didn’t say anything else as she sat there enjoying my warmth and testing my limits, she sat like that for a few seconds before she spoke again
“Oh, I forgot big brother, you have a fight tomorrow”
“A fight?”
I asked back in intrigue as we both pretended that the previous situation of the sexual spark between us didn’t happen, my reply prompted her to speak back in a small voice
“Well, it would seem that the lion prince, the prince from the Tlliabehem kingdom, and some other prince wants to fight you, they think that fighting you they might be able finally to get me”
“Ha!, they can keep dreaming then!”
I spoke out with a snide smirk, hearing it Elda raised her head as she cutely tilted her head, a smirk on her face as she spoke
“Oh~~is big brother angry or jealous?”
“Maybe a bit angry, I am just pissed off that these guys think they could get you by showing some strength”
My eyes were a bit angry as I raised my hands as I rubbed her beautiful face
“You do not belong to anyone Elda, who you want be with should be chosen by you and if anyone says otherwise, I would beat them till they bleed, no matter who, after all, didn’t I promise that I would never get you hurt?”
my final words were with my trademark smile causing Elda to smile at my words as she dived back into my embrace snuggling in as if she belonged there, her body relaxed as she hugged me tightly unwilling to let go, soon I heard her whisper
“I know.....”
And with that she fell asleep, seeing it I couldn’t help but have a headache
‘I really can’t catch a brake, can I?’
