Sometimes women are always more sensitive than men. Although Grace Bennett understood her own feelings, she also knew that Gavin Clark often saw her as a friend, or a mentor, or an older sister... but not as a woman.
At night, Sunset Canyon was a bit stuffy. Getting bitten by a long-bearded mosquito, though it couldn't really harm the two of them, was still painful. Grace Bennett didn't want to use dragon might—right now, Gavin Clark still couldn't distinguish what was a dangerous warning, and using dragon might would definitely wake him up. She decided to just use her own fan to drive the mosquitoes away.
The nights in Sunset Canyon were quiet, and the scenery was exceptionally beautiful. At this moment, you couldn't tell at all that it was a place overrun by magical beasts. Not far from the wooden cabin, the dark unicorn perked up its ears, shook its head, and its ears flicked back and forth. Sigh, if only someone could invent a magic to change the climate, it would be the number one unicorn in the world.
With a human?
But so what?
Grace Bennett found herself ridiculous, but the noble pride of the dragon race seemed not so important anymore.
It was just an ordinary night, but with a crisp ding, the purple diamond card flashed, and loyalty reached one hundred percent.
The relationship between the two was not simple. Grace Bennett's soul was still bound by the contract. Because of her heart's loss, the purple diamond card gained the highest authority. Now, Grace Bennett could no longer resist Gavin Clark, but so what?
Grace Bennett treated Gavin Clark better and better, while Gavin Clark simply took it as encouragement and trained even harder!
Obviously, Grace Bennett was no longer willing to fight him, unable to go all out. Gavin Clark and the dark unicorn went around causing trouble, probably finding it fun. The dark unicorn also enjoyed fighting everywhere. The magical beasts in this area were truly miserable, often thrown into chaos by this man and beast.
Gavin Clark's combat power grew fiercer and fiercer. He summarized some essential fighting techniques from battles with magical beasts. Although his stances looked awkward, they were very effective. As long as it wasn't a beast on the level of Little Black, he wasn't afraid of fighting any magical beast one-on-one.
As usual, Gavin Clark and Little Black returned from hunting. Just thinking about seeing Grace Bennett soon made Gavin Clark's heart feel warm, but this time he sensed something different. The dark unicorn's fur stood on end.
Uninvited guests!
"Master, who are they?"
The newcomers were a man and a woman. Judging by their appearance, they should be middle-aged humans, but the horns on their heads revealed their noble identity—two adult dragons!
They didn't even look at Gavin Clark, just glanced briefly at the strange dark unicorn, and continued to look at Grace Bennett.
"Grace Bennett Your Highness, please come back with us!"
"No, I won't! Whoever wants to marry Prince Anqiluo can go! I won't!" Grace Bennett said firmly.
"Grace Bennett Your Highness, Prince Anqiluo has already prepared the betrothal gifts. This concerns the great matter between our Dragon Island and Golden Dragon City. Please don't be willful. Prince Anqiluo is a genius of the golden dragon clan, the first in a thousand years. You will definitely like him!"
"No, no, Uncle Cody Bennett, Aunt Mina Bennett, I will not marry him!"
The middle-aged man and woman looked at each other, both feeling troubled. It had been a casual agreement at first, but the golden dragon clan took it seriously. Now it was hard to go back on their word—what a headache! The dragon race valued face above all else. Going back on their word was tantamount to insulting Golden Dragon City, especially since it involved Prince Anqiluo, the golden dragon.
"This matter isn't urgent. We can discuss it slowly... Your Highness!" Suddenly, their expressions changed dramatically. "Grace Bennett Your Highness, you signed a soul contract with someone? What's going on!"
A soul contract was basically enslavement, and the dragon race was most opposed to this!
Gavin Clark jumped out and stood in front of Grace Bennett. "Who are you people? My master can do whatever she wants!"
Cody Bennett and Mina Bennett immediately fixed their gaze on Gavin Clark. Boundless dragon might swept down like a tidal wave. Even though Gavin Clark had made great progress, he was still almost forced to cough up blood by the two waves of dragon might. The dark unicorn also went on alert, roaring angrily and resisting the dragon might.
Grace Bennett gently held Gavin Clark's hand, and the dragon might lessened. "Aunt Mina Bennett, as you can see, I have already signed a life-and-death contract with him, so you should go back!"
Cody Bennett and Mina Bennett exchanged a glance. "Your Highness, if you are unwilling, we won't force you. But this concerns the dignity of our Crystal Dragon clan. How could you sign such a contract with a human? Did he use some despicable means? Let me kill him!"
"No, I did it willingly. It has nothing to do with him. I want to be with him." Grace Bennett said through gritted teeth.
This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue. Cody Bennett and Mina Bennett could hardly believe their ears. The noble Crystal Dragon princess actually wanted to live with a lowly human! If this got out, all the dragons, even the whole continent, would laugh their heads off!
This wasn't just a personal matter—it concerned the entire Crystal Dragon clan, even Dragon Island. Even a princess couldn't act so recklessly.
"Your Highness, please come back with us. This matter must be handled by the Council of Elders. We can't hide it. As for this man, he must die!"
Right now, Gavin Clark really wanted to rush up and beat up these two bastards. What business was it of theirs what happened between him and his master? But all his strength was being used just to stand. The dragon might of two adult Crystal Dragons was no joke. Even with Grace Bennett's support, it was still extremely difficult.
