Elfina woke up next to Draco not knowing what happened, when it happened, and how it happened.
She looked at Draco, who was already up and covering himself with a bathrobe while holding two cups of coffee, One for him and one For Elfina.
"Oh, Good Morning, Elfina." Draco flashed out his smile once again and handed her the cup.
Elfina, looking at how he was still so kind even after what happened, smiled sweetly.
'See! I was right! He's kind.' she thought internally, speaking to someone who knew and felt what was going on.
"Good Morning, Draco. I hope you woke up well." she replied.
Draco, who didn't sleep as he didn't need it and would only stay asleep for months, smiled.
"I did. How are you feeling?" he asked.
"Umm?" She raised an eyebrow and then, after remembering what happened, she blushed profusely.
"I'm... Fine. I'm a Transcendent too, after all." she replied.
"Good." Draco smiled.
Elfina then tried to get up to drink her coffee but almost fell.
She blushed once more as Draco chuckled.
"Be careful." he said.
"Mhm," she replied.
"What time is it?" she asked, but she wasn't talking to Draco as time passed differently in the Prison so the way time was counted was by seeing how much time there was left until an event, work, or something like that.
In Elfina's case: "1 Hour till your shift." The bracelet replied.
"How? No, wait! I will be late! I have to go!" Elfina's reaction to how much was left for her shift to begin was mixed.
First, it was because she knew very well that the time she spent with Draco in this hotel was definitely not in hours, but in days!
She was too cloud-minded to think at the time and just thought in her mind that it was worth it and that she didn't need to think about it.
and now that she woke up she just checked the time out of habit, but, didn't actually believe she hadn't been kicked out by now.
"Thank you! You also look very Ho- Ehhem, Handsome in that outfit." Elfina corrected herself and smiled.
Draco smiled sweetly at her words.
"That's so sweet of you! Alright, shall we move?" He asked.
"Mhm." and the both of them went down to the street to find Dreadful waiting for them and then they took the road back to the guild.
While on the road Elfina couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked.
"I didn't know you had an Affinity with Time. that's so amazing! how did you not get accepted to the Celestial Academy?"
"Have you heard of the Anomaly?" he asked.
"Oh yeah the Emperor of the Human Continent, I've heard of him many times before." Elfina replied, slightly confused at why Draco would bring him into this conversation.
"Well, You see. He's my friend. He and I were able to find a Banished's Ruin and after successfully killing all the Filthy there I've managed to gain the Time Affinity while he gained another affinity." Draco lied.
Elfina was shocked to the core. She never would have thought that Draco had such a connection to a famous Emperor such as the Anomaly. that guy even had connections with the founder of the Celestial Academy!
"Wow! You continue to amaze me by the second, Draco!" Truthfully, even if Elfina wanted to wholeheartedly believe in Draco but something inside of her didn't want to believe but she didn't show it and kept it in the back of her mind not letting Draco notice it.
Soon after they reached their destination.
but, Before they left Draco caught her and said.
"Give me your contacts."
Elfina, slightly caught off guard by Draco's demand, stood silent for a few seconds before she bumped her bracelet with his, and a *Ding* was heard before they were notified that their contacts were added to their bracelets.
Draco then proceeded to command the bracelet to send her the location of his estate and give her permission to enter.
"Alright, when you finish your shift, come here. A drone will be waiting for you." He said.
Elfina stood surprised for a few seconds in an attempt to understand what Draco just said.
Once she regained her composure, she blushed and replied with a "Mhm."
Then the two left to enter the guild, one as a staff and the other as an adventurer.
