Chapter 927 I“m So Gonna Die!

Elliot nodded. “We’ll go back tomorrow night then.”

He took his leave.

Why didn’t he yell at me? Sally thought as she watched her father disappear into the distance. Has he changed?

Later that night, a young girl went to the elven embassy, talked with Blour, and left quickly.

“You owe me big time, girl,” Blour said, standing there in the yard.

…

“I’m back, Miiss Elizabeth,” Yabemiya said. “You must be hungry. Here.” She handed the Yangzhou fried rice to her.

Elizabeth was sitting on the edge of Yabemiya’s bed. She took the box in her hands. “Thank you. Can I have some water?”

“Oh, I forgot to tell you how to use the water dispenser. How thoughtless of me! Sorry… Sure. Wait here, I’ll go get some water for you.”

Where does that water come from? Elizabeth wondered as watched Yabemiya use the water dispenser. Is there a spring or something under the house?

Yabemiya handed her the water, and she downed it in one go.

“Let me pour another glass for you.”

Elizabeth drank about half of the second glass, and then opened the box to eat.

Yabemiya closed the door softly and sat beside Elizabeth. She still looked pale due to loss of blood, but she looked much better than yesterday.

Suddenly, Elizabeth stopped eating and turned to look at her. “Thank you.”

Yabemiya was caught by surprise. She jumped to her feet and waved her hands nervously. “You’re welcome.”

Elizabeth finished her food in no time, without leaving even one rice grain behind.

Yabemiya cleaned up the mess and poured another glass of water for her. She then pulled some quilts out of her closet and started making a makeshift bed on the floor.

“Are you going to sleep on the floor?” Elizabeth asked.

Yabemiya nodded. “Yes.” When she saw that Elizabeth looked a little displeased, she hurriedly asked, “Did I sleep-talk or snore last night? Did I wake you up? I’ll sleep on the couch in the living room.”

“No! You can sleep on the bed. It’s big enough for us both to sleep on.” Elizabeth found herself holding the glass of water tightly.

Yabemiya gave her a look like she had just said the most unbelievable thing in the world. “I can sleep on the bed?”

“Of course. It’s your bed. I can take the floor if that’s what you prefer.” Elizabeth gulped down the rest of the water, lay down with her back to Yabemiya, and pulled the quilt over her.

Yabemiya hesitated a while. Finally she put the quilts back into the closet. She laid herself down on the very edge of the bed and inched towards Elizabeth until the quilt could just cover her. “Do you want me to turn off the light, Miss Elizabeth?” she asked quietly.

“Yes.” Her voice was cool, but her lips curved in a smile. She found her shyness adorable.

Yabemiya turned off the light, plunging the room into darkness.

It was so quiet that Yabemiya could even hear her rapid heartbeat. She lay there, her body rigid with nervousness.

She had always slept alone after her mother died, and now she was sleeping with a powerful, highborn dragon. She felt privileged.

She’s such a nice person, Yabemiya thought. It seemed she had forgotten that the bed was hers.

Elizabeth had never shared a bed with others as far as she could remember, not even with her mother, because she was a dragon, and dragons had always been a symbol of power. They were expected to be independent from a very young age. Her mother had never indulged her, even though she knew she had loved her very much.

She rarely saw her father, but Miya, her half-sister, had never seen him before. She felt so sorry for her that she wanted to give her a hug.

Then she remembered she was a dragon, and dragons were cold creatures.

Slowly, they drifted into sleep.

When Yabemiya woke up the next morning, she felt warmer than before. Sunlight came streaming through the window. She opened her eyes to see a face inches away from hers.

Her sleepy eyes flicked open. Her skin is perfect without any kind of imperfections, her nose is so beautiful, and her eyelashes are so attractive. No! All that is not important right now! Why am I in her arms?

Oh boy… I’m so gonna die! Her heart started pounding. Her mind went totally blank. But it’s so warm and comfortable! A smile came unbidden to her lips.

That was when Elizabeth opened her eyes.
