When Elena was done attacking she lied down on his shoulder and Drake could only be in shock and said, "you have become strong, take good care of me."
"hmph, why should I take care of you?" asked Elena.
"Do you want me to drop you?" asked back Drake with joking anger face.
"No don't, do you have any idea, how much magic I had to use to land from the sky?" asked Elena exhausted.
"What are you talking about?" asked back Drake with concern.
"We were on that portal for two months, you know. And then you stayed fainted for 2 months straight. I had to use a lot of my resources to keep both of us alive. Then we had found ourselves in an exit inside the portal. When we exit the portal, it wasn't on an island we teleported. No! it was not on the island but the sky. I had to think of our landing in an island. So I had to make a huge ice slide which used a lot of my magic to landed normally or else we would have been squashed.
After that I was dead tired, I had to take a recovery pill. And when I was recovering a bit of my magic, you had the nerve to call me out for help again. I had to use my reserve magic as well and now look at me now, I am death exhausted." slumping on his shoulder explaining what has happened all this time.
"Then take some rest." said Drake with a smile.
"That is what I am doing. By the way, you will have to take responsibility, right?" said Elena with angry face.
"Responsibility for what?" asked Drake with a look of confusion.
"Of course, it is because of you I am here. And also you know ahem-." asked Elena with blushed face and didn't finished the sentence.
"I cannot take care of the monster, I do not have cultivation, this is the main reason I was send here by Sebastian. You shouldn't have come here, Elena. You could have become the student of the king. You could have had countless treasures and resources for your cultivation." said Drake with a sad face looking down.
"So what if you have no cultivation talent? So what if I could have become stronger if I had become king's student? Resources? Techniques? Treasures? I don't need them. I had no friends when I was young and I couldn't make friends in the orphan villa. I only had you.
If you were not there beside me and I found out that you were send here because of me then, I would definitely had a heart demon. If you are to thrown in the portal because of me, then I wouldn't have been ever able to cultivate in peace. I will always be in guilt." She was very angry and in tears when he said, 'you shouldn't have come here.'
She further continue, "I am making friends with those royals and noble is never going to happen, ever. Did you see their greedy faces when they heard I am S ranked? They only thinks about their own benefits. They didn't see my benefits, my wishes. They disrespected me when I asked for you to be beside me, learning body cultivation. They are willing to go beyond my wishes, imagine what they would do next for their own benefits?"
She really thinks that the only person who has been there ever since her parents dropped her into the orphan house. Her attitude was a bit snobbish and showing off type like the riches and so she couldn't made any friends within the orphan house. The only one who came to her life and talked with her and changed her behavior into normal was Drake.
Drake knows only one way to cool her down. He came forward and hug her, and said "I am sorry for making you cry, I just want your best. But I never thought of these things could happen in returns." Then started to clean her tears up by wiping it away from her face.
She said blushing anger face, "You are doing it again, you definitely have to take responsibility."
"I am doing again what now?" asked Drake in confused.
"You kept on hugging me in the portal and not let me go, now you are doing it all over again. You have to take responsibility for this." said Elena with red face and low voice.
"How should I take responsibility? If you are falling from the sky and I caught you to save you. Then you start crying and I know of only one way to console you. You need a hug to feel much better." asked Drake.
"By keeping you promise that you made to me few years ago." said Elena trying to hint something else.
"I made a lot of promises to you, giving you lots of chocolates, toys, and other stuffs and then uh-, and many other things." said Drake then he remembered something and he tried to change it in flustered voice.
"So you do remember?" asked Elena.
"But we are only 14 years old. We can't do that." said Drake with sweats all over his body.
"I can wait till 16, but you will have to keep that verbal promise by giving me something as a symbol or something that could be shown that you meant it." said Elena with pout face.
Drake sighed and get on his one knee, folded his full sleeves t-shirt from his right hand and there were two bangles on his right hand. One is gold and the other is silver. He sighed and said, "These were supposed to be a gift I wanted to give you if we both become cultivators, this is supposed to be two ways communicator and can lead us to one another if we are in 5 kilometers range. I used all my saving to buy this one."
"Answer me this time by considering very seriously, if I remain as a mortal and live up to only 100 years and you will still be young and live many years after this. Would you still willingly want to marry me? If you do then accept this golden bangle from me as a substitution of an engagement ring." said Drake with emotions as he put out a golden bangle from his right hand.
Elena who was half joking and half serious because if Drake jokes back then she wouldn't make it serious but if Drake return her feelings then she would definitely consider and answer truthfully which she will do now. She said, "I had only one friends but after that, I truly had feelings for you and I kept it to myself for a long time. I do not need to consider anything when I had decided to be with you forever even if it is as a friend if you didn't want to be my lover. But I truly love you and so yes I am willing to marry you."
Drake then said, "Then by the age of 16 we will get married. Are you willing to wait?"
To which Elena replied with a smile, "Yes."
Drake put the bangle inside with a smile and Elena who has been watching it also smiled. Then Drake got up and picked her and spin in happiness. Elena also spinning in happiness.
