Luna was silent for a few seconds before asking, And what about you?
Im not 'any man.'
How so?
I believe in the world there are only two types of people first; The Protagonists and the Side characters. I am a protagonist! And in my story Im not just any protagonist Im the top protagonist. If I like a girl and she already has a man she really loves, then even though Im selfish I wont interfere with her relationship or she will never be happy. But if she doesnt have a guy she likes then I will do everything in my power to date the girl I like.
Fine, I cant argue with that logic. You win!
Good! So from now on you are my girlfriend. Drake gave a proud nod.
Lunas face flushed, she was speechless when she saw how shameless he was, but then her eyes dimmed and she sighed, Unfortunately it cant work. Even if I want to my family wont but Drake raised a finger to her lips stopping her from continuing.
Shush! You let me worry about that. He comforted her with a gentle yet confident voice.
Luna was stunned, she wanted to say something, but when she looked into Drake's starry eyes she couldnt help but want to trust him. At this moment she actually wished herself that Drake was her real boyfriend, and she turned her face away. However just as she did she caught sight of two men approaching and her face turned cold.
Drakes sharp eyes instantly caught on to the abrupt change.
Just then the Eye of Order locked onto two men walking over in their direction. One of them the younger of the duo looked to be about twenty, was dressed in an expensive black suit radiated a thick aura of pride and arrogance; he was definitely someone from a top clan maybe even one of those royals. He caused heads to turn everywhere he passed as for the other guy, Drake instantly saw through him that it was the young mans bodyguard.
The two men walked up to them and the young man started talking to Luna, Miss Luna Ive been waiting all day in the car, I thought something happened to you when you took so long. He completely ignored Drakes existence there.
Prince Kaizer, I told you I needed to get some things and you should wait for me I would meet you at the car. Luna now had a look of distaste plain on her face.
I came looking because I was worried since you were taking so long. I didnt want anything to happen to you. Also you really dont have to use honorifics with me.
That would be disrespectful to your status, a status bestowed upon you by the law of the empire itself. I couldnt bring myself to do such a thing as that would not only mean disrespecting you but the law of the empire.
I already told you that you could, its not against the law since you have my permission. He said but she was adamant so he was helpless.
Drake couldnt help but shake his head in pity, this guy wasnt even concealing the lecherous look in his eyes, that look was a clean giveaway what he wanted. With that kind of work ethic it did not matter how much he tried, he had no chance with a girl like this, he would only scare her away.
Kaizer caught the action and turned, Hmm? Whos this, a friend of yours? he asked as though just noticing Drakes presence.
Although Luna did not want to, she had to introduce Drake now that Kaizer asked. Prince Kaizer, this is Drake.
Drake! Uncle Drake actually, nice to meet ya. Drake introduced stretching his hand for a handshake. While he was doiung so he was also checking out this guy's details with the 'Eye of Order'
...
Name: Kaizer
Cultivation level: 4 star mage
Battle power: 700,000
Affinity: Gravity Power
...
Un Kul Drake! I am Prince Sullivan Kaizer, the crowned heir of the Sullivan family. You may address me as Prince Kaizer! Kaizer said completely ignoring Drakes gesture. Who does he think he is to think he can shake hands with me? he was scornful in his heart, if it werent because he was in front of Luna he wouldnt even bother looking at this Imp.
Drake upon seeing this took his hand back and laughed, Ah so its Prince Kaizer, you must forgive my manners I didnt recognize you.
What position do you hold in your family?
A Monkeys uncle.
Humph, of course you are, Un Kul Drake. With such a low rank it is no wonder you cant recognize me. Kaizer sneered. As far as he was concerned, Drake's response meant that his position was nothing important, so it wasn't worth mentioning.
Luna had a weird look in her eyes and had to forcibly clench her lips to keep from bursting into laughter. Drake was dumbfounded when he heard Kaizer still calling him Uncle Drake. is this guy stupid? I mean if the first time was because he wasnt expecting it, then what about the second time? His sense of humor cant be that low can it or is he just not paying attention?
Drake quickly recovered and simply laughed. Yes, yes indeed. Of course Prince Kaizer is right. He, he He was thinking, 'This guy really does have an IQ on the level of a monkey.'
But Kaizer who took it as though Drake was just trying to suck up to him after being intimidated by his high status, only disdained Drake even more and a disgusted light shone in his eyes.
He turned to Luna, Let us be on our way Miss Luna. Dont sully yourself with low class trash like this Un Kul Drake.
By now Drake was feeling bad for the guy. 'Dude seriously just stop talking.'
Luna frowned, I can talk to whoever I want to.
Yes you can, but if you talked to just any Tom, Dick and Harry it would spoil your reputation, and you never know when youll run into someone with ulterior motives.
Drake thought in the words of Joyner Lucas N***a, speak for yourself!
This is Alpha academy. Their mages are everywhere, nothing is going to happen to me and I can take care of myself.
Of course you can, of course you can I was just trying to be a gentleman. Dont worry with me here no bad intentions can harm you.
Luna just shook her head, she knew he wouldnt leave her alone especially with another man around. So she said her goodbyes to Drake and left.
Kaizer upon seeing her leave hastily stepped up to walk beside her ignoring Drake. It was as though he found talking to Drake beneath him.
…
Drake watched them both leave, at this moment he was enraged that this guy chose this time to cock block him. I didnt even get her contact details!
Suddenly, he felt a hostile aura lock onto him, he had felt hostility before but non like this. This time it came with a terrifying pressure that weighed on him like a mountain, it was like being stuck at the bottom of the ocean a special force was squeezing the space around him trying to suffocate him.
He wanted to regain his freedom, but he couldnt move. But just as he was trying the starry sea his eyes flashed and the Eye of Order kicked in and an illusory scale appeared before him.
On the two sides of this scale he felt two different auras both encased in a special force field like a glass crystal dome that kept them safe, one of the auras was much fainter than the other. it felt familiar and close, it was his own aura. As for the other aura, it was much thicker and felt heavier. He recognized the foreign aura as it was the same one that was currently pressuring him.
Right now the heavier aura was causing the scale to tilt in its favor, while the weaker aura quivered as though it was being threatened and the crystal like force field was showing signs of cracking.
The scales represent order, but in this world I am the judge so I dictate the Order!
Once he saw this scale, it was as though an epiphany struck him and he knew what this all represented and what to do.
A second illusory scale appeared mirroring the other scale, but when it received his intention it shook slightly then the hand with the weaker aura started getting longer and as it got longer, the tilting scale reversed until both sides were balanced. once this happened Drakes eyes flashed and he regained his freedom and even though he could still feel the aura locked onto him he felt no weight.
Awesome! This must be another ability of the Eye of Order. As long as I am the judge, it doesnt matter what is what. I decide. Drake exclaimed excitedly.
It took so long to describe all this but it only happened in an instant. He was ecstatic when he thought about the new abilities the Eye of Order had and couldnt wait to see more.
He turned to see who it was that was using their aura to pressure him. who are you? I don't remember having any beef with you.
...
Name: Derek
Cultivation level: 5 star mage
Battle power: 50,000,000
Affinity: Metal Power
...
'Holy shit Fifty fucking million.' Drake's eyes widened. 'What the hell is this guy, a Boss level Guardian?'
The man snorted, Humph! You can call me Derek. I am the Prince's personal bodyguard.
Oh, in that case I am very sure we haven't met before so why are you using your aura to pressure me?
You should be glad that this is all I'm doing to you after you insulted my young master.
I have no idea what you are talking about. 'that's right even if you ask i'll deny it. Besides it's not my fault that your young master is such a dumb ass, he couldn't even detect the problem an just kept calling me uncle Drake. What do they teach them in school these days?' Drake thought to himself
'I won''t say I don't like the filial piety from the kid, but at least my nephew should have some sense no?'
I dont want to ever see the two of you standing next to each other again, Derek said. The miss already has engagements, the two of you live in entirely different worlds, so stay away from her you plebeian, or you might get hurt.
Once he was done speaking he retracted his pressure and followed after Prince Kaizer once he was done not waiting for Drake to say anything.
'As expected I have competition. Looks like I have to work my way around the guardian beast to get the treasure. He thought and smiled mischievously. Unluckily for you I excel at these kinds of games.
