Eren was quite taken aback. The spirit truly felt like a human, to the point that he could even feel her touch. Still, he knew better than to fall for her provocations.
"Is this how you always greet your guests?" he asked the girl, who felt more human than she should have.
Estelina's eyes glittered with amusement. "Perhaps I make an exception for intriguing humans like you."
"I'll take that as a compliment," Eren replied, his voice steady. "However, I would have to decline your offer."
He gently pushed her back, creating some distance between them.
"Now, if you would kindly lead the way to your mother, I would appreciate it."
Estelina smirked at Eren's reaction. "I didn't expect you to be in such a hurry to meet my mother."
"Isn't that why you brought me here? The faster I meet her, the faster I can return," Eren justified himself.
Although he said that it was for his return, in reality, he had another more important reason.
He paid special attention to the timer. He didn't have unlimited time to select an option.
Before being forced to choose one, he wanted to at least meet the Spirit Queen and understand what might be her most probable cause. He didn't want to make a mistake and then get his system stuck at this option.
Estelina maintained her smile, but behind that smile, she was quite irritated. Not only did this man call her old, but he didn't even fall for her charm? She felt like her ego was hurt.
She had thrown herself onto him. In that situation, any man would have tried to take advantage of the situation. She thought Eren was going to do the same.
Eren turned to look at her. "I said I'm not into-"
As soon as he turned, he was at a loss of words. Estelina was standing behind him, but it was not the same. Her clothes turned semi-transparent, revealing what shouldn't be revealed.
Through her semi-transparent clothes, Eren was able to see her soft and fair skin hidden underneath. Although she was said to be a Spirit, she was as much like a human as possible.
She could be touched, she could be felt. She was different from the ghosts that he had heard about.
He took a deep breath and turned his back on her. "I said that I am not interested."
"Why don't you say that while looking into my eyes if you're that honest?" the girl asked as she moved closer to him, her warm breath brushing against his neck.
Eren felt something soft pushing against his back while Estelina planted her lips on his neck.
"I know that you are a man. And I know what a man wants. You might say that I am old for you, but your body is more honest than your mouth, isn't that right?" Estelina gently whispered, simply provoking Eren too much.
She just wanted him to lose his reasoning and give in, so she could reject him.
That was going to be the punishment for him. He was going to have a beautiful woman like her before him, but he couldn't do anything. Unfortunately, she needed him to lose his reasoning first.
She placed her arms around Eren's waist and started sliding her hand down. As her hands were about to reach the place they shouldn't, she felt her warm hands hold her hands.
She smiled, wondering if he was going to give in now. However, to her surprise, he held her hands firmly and released his Sword Emperor's Aura which was even more harmful from such close proximity.
"Since I can touch you here, I am sure that I can kill you as well. Are you sure you want to provoke me like that?"
