Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 332: Lets Give Her A Chance

Chapter 332: Let's Give Her A Chance

-----

Miranda, the most mistrustful, and the one that never trusted anyone except Benladann, suddenly wanted to trust this complete stranger!

Why was that?

It seemed that she had changed herself. She was no longer like before, and it was rather obvious that her personality has shifted the more Benladann gave her sisterly love and the more she saw Benladann interact with Drake through her eyes… she grew fond and fonder of the two, even of the big lizard, whom she had begun falling in love as well.

But due to this very reason, she realized that at this moment they were acting wrongly. And there was a big reason behind it!

This reason was…

"She's exactly like me. Don't you realize? She has been acting like this due to desperation, loneliness, of endless existential dread. I was caged in darkness all this time, inside of Benladann's soul... all this time I just wanted her for myself because she was the only one that brought some light to my darkness… She is the most precious thing in my life and… I couldn't possibly accept that she didn't want me. I went berserk and ended acting wrongly… I was very sorry too! And at first, you couldn't trust me… right?" asked Miranda.

Indeed! Miranda had the same circ.u.mstances as Belle here, at least to some extent, but close enough to make a very accurate comparison with her. The two were indeed very similar to one another, and due to this, she had made a comparison and felt herself within this little fox girl.

She saw herself in her and tried to do it differently. Instead of waiting for her to fall even more into depression, she wanted to extend a hand when n.o.body else did! Something she would have loved that Benladann or Drake did with her before, but that they took way too long to do…

Nonetheless, it wasn't as if she had a grudge against them or something, she was grateful to have them in her life. Even Drake had begun to become a precious treasure for her as she loved him more and more through Benladann's eyes. The two were connected after all, and Benladann's love for this gentle-hearted dragon infected her dark heart too.

She ended sharing all those feelings, all those sensations, all those beautiful feelings… all of it! she couldn't… possibly not like him now. And due to this, she also saw herself as the fox girl as she wanted them to give her a hand.

She honestly pitied her a lot! she had indeed changed from how selfish she used to be. Miranda was not the same monstrous mold ent.i.ty from before, but a girl that just wanted to amend herself.

Perhaps within Belle, there was a way to amend herself even more, by offering a helping hand to someone when n.o.body did.

"You're… really… trusting me?" asked Belle, containing her tears.

"I… I want to." Sighed Miranda, smiling back at her. She extended her small and pale hand, as Belle took it gently.

Drake and Benladann looked at the scene in shock and couldn't forcefully move outside as Miranda was connected to Benladann and acted as an anchor in this dream as long as she stayed here materialized into this form.

"Miranda… you… You've changed a lot." sighed Drake, as he smiled quite hopelessly.

"Yeah… You… you really trust her, sister?" asked Benladann.

"I… I want to." Said Miranda.

The two looked at each other's eyes and walked near Miranda, as Miranda slowly walked towards them and held Benladann's and Drake's hands.

"M-Miranda, you're holding my hand too?" asked Drake rather embarra.s.sedly.

"D-Don't get ahead of yourself, idiot… I-Its not like I love you or anything! T-This is just because… Erm… because we are all family." Said Miranda while growing redder than a tomato. Her pale-white skin made this more evident than anything.

"(Is she a Tsundere or something? …But she's cute.)"

Drake deep down felt his heartbeat a bit faster. Did he just found Miranda cute? This was a new feeling for him altogether.

"Miranda… I guess you want to redeem yourself through her, am I right?" sighed Benladann.

"Huh?! H-How did you know?" asked Miranda.

"You're very easy to read… In fact, you're not so different from Benladann herself in some things." sighed Drake.

"W-What! Ugh…"

Miranda felt even more embarra.s.sed as Drake smiled handsomely at her. She felt as if her emotions were bubbling many things inside her mind. This was actually the first time she spoke with him since their last encounter when he reprimanded her various months ago.

And now they were supposed to be allies and perhaps, something else? This only made her feel more and more embarra.s.sed, that it was ruining her cool a bit.

"So you want to redeem yourself by helping her? But what if she backstabs us? You'll ruin us…" sighed Drake.

"I will take responsibility for it! Just… trust me for once! I have an itch!" said Miranda.

"An itch, huh?" sighed Drake.

"Drake… I want to trust her too now." Said Benladann, looking at him with her tender eyes.

"Sigh…" Drake gave a loud sigh as he covered his face.

"Fine! Fine... whatever. Alright… Fine." Sighed Drake.

"R-Really?" asked Benladann.

"You're ok with it?!" asked Miranda, a cute smile emerged on her face as her crimson-red eyes shone cutely. She looked like Benladann of her previous life, but she was already an incredibly cute girl. Drake felt the urge to pet her head.

And he did.

"H-Huh?!"

Miranda felt suddenly even more embarra.s.sed as steam came out of her ears. She looked at Drake as her lips trembled.

"I am okay with it as long as you let me interact with you some more. I have begun to think that we should talk some more instead of you caging yourself inside of Benladann's soul." Said Drake.

"W-Whaaaat?!"

Benladann was smiling profoundly as she nodded repeatedly, giving her sister the thumbs up.

This was her golden chance!

"If you don't accept my humble request… then…" said Drake.

"O-Okay, fine!" sighed Miranda, averting her gaze from the handsome and gentle dragon.
