My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!

"You! What are you doing?!" Yevni asked in disbelief, as Eren wrapped his arms around her.

"Release me this instant!" She suddenly pushed Eren back, freeing herself. "How dare you touch me?!"

Eren didn't answer. He simply raised his right hand, revealing a chain that he was holding.

It was only now that the Princess realized that her hands were freed. The chain was actually removed by Eren.

Even though she had asked him to free her, she didn't actually expect him to do that. If anything, she thought he might actually kill her.

"Why...?" After a long time, she could only utter a single word.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

He was an Outsider who had managed to achieve the impossible. He had kidnapped the Princess of the Nightwing Clan. He could have used her as a tool for negotiations. Instead, he was freeing her? Why?

Was it because he was confident that he could take her down even if she attacked him? Or was it because he was scheming something else? She didn't believe that he had any good intentions behind his actions.

Eren kept the chain of restriction in his inventory as the Phoenix landed behind him, being a towering existence.

"Because I know that you won't go back." The Phoenix lowered her head, spreading out her wings, welcoming Eren.

Eren climbed on the Phoenix without any further explanation. He simply looked at the girl, waiting for her decision.

He realized that forcing her was useless, unless he was planning to use soul search on her. He needed her genuine help, so that she wouldn't lead him into a trap.

He had all the weapons that he needed to convince her. He had simply made the first move.

"Why do you think that I won't go back?" The Princess asked. However, her expressions gave her true thoughts away. She was surprised that Eren understood her intentions.

"Because you don't have a place to go back to. If you went back to the clan, you would be accused of working with an Outsider. Do you think that they would believe that I simply let you go out of the kindness of my heart?"

"If you return, your clan will become the villain of this world. It will become the target of the Primordials. Your return will result in the destruction of your clan and you would be responsible for it.'

"As for you... You would be taken by the Primordial that wants you so bad. Unless you truly believe that a few scars will dissuade him? Even if they actually do, he might make you suffer even worse. Are you willing?"

The girl was in disbelief. It was as if Eren was reading her mind. Every word that he spoke was like an arrow, hitting the mark.

It was true. If she returned, then her clan was going to become a target. If she ran away elsewhere and was detected, it was the same outcome for the clan.

Eren knew that she had no other option but to stay with him from the moment he had kidnapped her. He didn't need to force her. If anything, she needed him to succeed as much as he did.

"Your clan is safe, as long as you are the hostage of an outsider. It means we are enemies. However, the moment you stop being a hostage, we would become allies for the world. No matter how loud you scream of your innocence, no one would believe you."

The girl clenched her fist, feeling as if she was in quicksand. The more she resisted, the more she was devoured by the quicksand.

It was only after she thought of something that the corner of her lips crept up, revealing her sharp fangs.

"In your haste, I think you forgot something important."

"Oh? Did I?" Eren asked, revealing an amused expression. "Why don't you tell me what I missed?"

"Won't I prove my innocence if I just kill you and drag your corpse back?" Yevni asked. "You have already released the shackles on me. You didn't think about that, did you?"

"What makes you think that I didn't consider that?" Eren shrugged his shoulders. "Let alone the fact that you can't defeat me, but even if you did, I have a skill that will destroy my corpse and every artefact I possess when I die."

He mixed lies with the truth, muddying the waters for the girl. He didn't need to be entirely honest with her. He only wanted to convince her that she had no other way forward.

"How will you prove your innocence without my corpse? They will simply believe that you helped me escape. And you are back to square one."

"You!" The girl clenched her teeth so hard that Eren could hear the grinding.

The girl had truly believed Eren's nonsense about a skill that would destroy his corpse when he died. Even if he had a skill like that, he didn't want to be in that situation. He cherished life the most after all.

"Shall we go, my dear hostage?" Eren reached out his hand, realizing that he was an annoyance to the girl.

The girl clenched her fist. Despite her unwillingness, she realized that she had to be a hostage. Not only that, she had to make sure that Eren wasn't caught.

If he was caught by others, she didn't know what kind of nonsense he was going to tell them about her clan.

Although frustrated, she realized that she had to betray hell to protect her clan. She had to help Eren escape, and maybe leave this world with him.

She stepped forward and jumped up, landing on the back of the Phoenix, completely ignoring Eren's helping hand.

"You are a demon, you know that?"

"I did hear that a few times. It's quite a good title, don't you think so?" Eren didn't mind her sharp words.

His Phoenix spread her wings, rising in the sky once again. The only difference was that the girl wasn't jumping off this time.

Eren had gained an unlikely ally who had no choice but to help him while he was in hell.

Even the Primordials didn't realize what kind of commotion was in the fate of this world from the moment Eren had stepped in this world.
