章節 1098: Unbalance

Ryu's gaze flickered several times before he forced his heart to calm.

In truth, he had had a hint of worry in his heart. His battle with Mae had been so incredibly difficult and a large part of the reason he was able to win in the end was because she had reservations and certain rules that she was meant to follow.

Of course, it was also equally as important to consider that he too had reservations about things that he could and could not use as well, and in the end, he was forced to reveal his Fire Dragon Bloodline, something that could have ended very poorly had his and Mae's relationship not taken such a … route.

This wasn't to say that Ryu trusted Mae with his secrets all of a sudden, however compared to another knowing his secret, he would prefer a woman he had bedded to know instead. At the very least, the connection they shared now, albeit shallow, was still more substantial than one he would share with anyone else.
