Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 568: An Interesting Pair

Chapter 568: An Interesting Pair

-----
He read everything on it and realized how loose everything was. In fact, this didn't seemed like some sort of contract to bind himself to an organization, but more like a business type of thing, as if he was becoming a mercenary with many benefits… he made sure to read everything and agreed with the terms.
There were even special benefits that could even help him in escaping of being sentenced of crimes by other righteous sects. It felt like this thing was quite corrupt.
But after all, the Alliance was just an extension of the Primeval Frost Soul Court, and they were the ones that made the rules, joining the Alliance meant becoming a figure of high prestige that also… seemed to manipulate the rules.
Such an opportunity… he couldn't possibly miss it.
He quickly signed the document, as he saw a mark emerge in the scroll.
"And done…" said Drake.
"Thank you, I am sure the higher ups will be excited about your addition, Drake. For now, we will be on our way…" said Yann.
"Eeeh? Can't we stay for the night?" asked Gaveronn.
"Gaveronn we cannot bother them more than we had already done, and we are filled with job to do." Said Yann.
"Ugh…" sighed Gaveronn, looking at Drake with puppy eyes.
Drake was happy they were going away now…
"Oh no, please stay! I would gladly welcome you tonight." Said Mikohime.
"Wait, what?" asked Drake.
"Hmm… well, if you insist, I would really like to try out that hot spring you have… My old bones would appreciate a warm bath from time to time." Sighed Yann.
"Ah, I am going there too… Drake, please join us as well! It is normal for men to bathe together in these public bathrooms, right?" asked Gaveronn.
"I refuse. I am now… going back to my place, you two can stay all you want, have a nice day." Said Drake, quickly escaping from Gaveronn's grasp. The young and beautiful man wouldn't let him go so easily, however, as he began to chase him down from behind all the way outside of the palace.
"What an annoying guy! Can't he leave me alone?!" cried Drake internally, as he walked outside the sect's territory.
"Drake! Where are you going?! Don't tell me you're actually going back to the Ice Moon Sect from here?!" asked Gaveronn.
Drake suddenly disappeared as he walked behind a tree, Gaveronn couldn't find him anymore.
The annoying young man sighed. Although he found Drake attractive and handsome, he just wanted to make friends, but perhaps his overly clinginess and him praising him rather coquettishly ended making Drake misunderstand his friendly intentions, not those of trying to seduce him…
"Sigh… Well, I guess he doesn't want to become my friend…" sighed the young man, as he walked back to the sect.
"I've never met someone so obnoxious in my entire life!" sighed Drake, as he reached Fuyu and quickly jumped over his bed, burying his face over Benladann's chest while she was resting over the bed.
"D-Drake?" she asked while blushing a bit.
"Hahhh… Let me… stay here for a bit… Such a good scent…" he sighed, reassuring his masculinity by hugging his wife's chest… was rather an extreme way of doing it, but the feminine scent of Benladann quickly captivated him and made him forget the bad experience.
"H-How were things? Did they went good?" she wondered.
"Yes… everything was good, it ended quite well… I am just tired… I want to take a break…" sighed Drake.
"O-Okay, I am glad… D-Did you meet someone bad?" wondered Benladann.
"Well… Ugh, no, never mind, don't remind me of it." he sighed.
Benladann couldn't help but wonder what he had truly seen…
…
The next morning, Drake was asked to come see off the two that were marching back to their kingdom.
"We invite you to come to our Kingdom whenever you have free time, Drake, we would gladly welcome you there, and of course, Mikohime and Vasilisius as well." Said Yann.
"Indeed! I am sorry if I scared you yesterday… I was just trying to be friendly… I-I have a hard time doing so… Many say I am a bit overly clingy… Must be because of my mother spoiling me so much…" sighed Gaveronn.
"Eh? O-Okay… I hope you don't act awkward again…" sighed Drake.
"I-I won't! I am just… I just want a friend aside from this old man…" said Gaveronn, whispering to Drake's ears.
Drake laughed a bit as Gaveronn smirked.
"Well, that's okay, I wouldn't mind having a friend." Said Drake, as he shook hands with Gaveronn.
The young man's eyes shone brightly as he felt excited over the prospects of the future.
"Master, I did it! I did as you said and he forgave me!" cried Gaveronn, rushing back to Yann.
"What did I told you? People get the wrong idea of you when you act so clingy… your mother taught you very bad things." Sighed Yann.
"Hey, don't talk about my mother like that, old man!" said Gaveronn.
The two men quickly walked away from the sect, as Drake sighed in relief, it seemed that… Gaveronn wasn't actually gay at all, he was just very awkward, like a child in some ways.
Drake smiled as he realized that there were many types of people in the world, some more… mysterious and interesting than others at that…
"What a funny young man, I had a lot of fun…" said Mikohime with a cute smile.
"Hmm… Yann, that man… he was very strong but quite carefree, I never thought I would find strong people like him, I suppose not everyone is a murderous person." Said Vasilisius.
"Y-Yeah, I guess that's the case…" said Drake.
…
As Yann and Gaveronn made their way back home, Yann couldn't help but think about Drake.
That man… he had a lot of secrets.
Was he a dangerous person?
Was he truly as heroic as he was portrayed?
And what was this power he felt yesterday?
Did that truly originated from one of the sect masters?
He suspected Drake to have emanated such power.
Which only meant that… he might be a monster amongst monsters.
He was happy he quickly corrected Gaveronn who had made Drake misunderstand his friendly interactions. He wouldn't had wanted to make an enemy of such a man thanks to his immature disciple…
