Chapter 297: Bold Proposal
'So this is the fifth type? I knew she was special, but I didn't expect her to be this much...' Alice thought.
Alice smiled at Matt. "Thanks, Zen. I think I did well. I was confused at first, but I think it wasn't wrong to sign the contract." She replied.
Robert was at a point where he didn't know how to react. But to be able to sign a contract so quickly, without full inscription, and for the first time was just too amazing.
He didn't know how he should react.
That was why he chose to do the first thing that came to his mind.
"You two are very good, but you can't come out into the daylight yet. I believe your appearances could cause tremendous shock to our enemies, and they may seek to kill you, so go back to your rooms in the meantime.
I will not record your accomplishments today, but I will mention them to the Great Summoner so I know what we can do to protect you." He said and after saying that, he dismissed them both, sending them to their rooms quickly.
.
As soon as they both entered the room, Matt looked at Alice. "What kind of spirit is it? I also intend to look around for a spirit of the fifth kind. From what I'm told, they're a bit of an enigma." He spoke.
Alice didn't know how she should put it. "This... I honestly don't know her skills very well. But I thought she seemed like someone amazing who offered me the contract without further ado, so I accepted her. But she's one of those talking spirits and looks like someone of high status." Alice said and immediately thought of summoning her.
Then, a female spirit about 5'6" tall appeared floating in front of them. She looked exactly the same as when she was in the Spirit World.
There was no change at all, not even a change in clothing.
Besides that, she was summoned at a very fast speed.
As soon as she arrived, she opened her eyes and looked at Alice; she appeared with her back to Matt.
"Where is this?" she asked before getting her bearings after remembering Alice's face.
"Oh, you're that vampire! So that was the summoning." Her pretty voice echoed in the room, and she looked from side to side. But then she felt something enter her nose and quickly brightened up.
"Hey, hey, hey, I feel that aura very close to here." A big smile bloomed on her face, and she turned around to where she felt another presence.
Then she looked at Matt's face and stiffened. She looked like a statue.
Matt was amazed as he looked at her. 'She's very young, but she has an unreal beauty.' Still, he smiled.
"Nice to meet you; my name is Matt; what's your name?" But despite his question, she didn't answer.
She couldn't; she was in total shock, staring at him.
Matt then looked at Alice. "What's wrong?" he asked.
Alice didn't know how to answer. "Alessa? Are you okay?" she asked.
Suddenly, Alessa returned to her senses and jerked her head sharply toward Alice but quickly looked back at Matt.
She didn't know what to do or what to say, but suddenly, she dropped to her knees on the floor and looked up at Matt.
"Will you marry me?" she asked with a beaming face and somehow made a ring made of her own energy appear.
"Ah?" Matt and Alice let out that sound from the surprise they had gotten.
They both couldn't believe what they had just heard.
Alice was startled by this and quickly approached Alessa. "What are you doing, Alessa? This is Matt. I told you about him earlier. Besides, why are you kneeling down and saying that?" Alice asked in surprise.
Alessa looked at her, and then it dawned on her what was finally happening. But still, she didn't leave her kneeling position and looked at Matt.
It was as if to say she wanted to hear his answer to that bold question she had asked.
Alice felt embarrassed with Matt, so she quickly made Alessa stand up. "Stop that now; let's talk for a moment."
Although Alessa was reluctant, she didn't do or say anything in the end. "Okay..." She said, but without taking her eyes off Matt.
He was uniquely beautiful to her, and his red eyes had totally enamored her. Even when he wore a disguise, in front of her no disguise would do, so she could see the real Matt.
"What kind of spirit are you?" Matt asked as soon as they sat down.
Alessa smiled quickly. "I am of the Fifth Type. I am a special spirit, and I encompass every type of spirit there is." She replied proudly and quickly, not making Matt wait.
Her rapid response made Alice look at her. 'She didn't even realize I had asked her that a while ago...' She thought, surprised.
But Alessa didn't care; for her, it was more important to answer Matt than someone else.
'A spirit that encompasses all the types of spirits that exist?' Matt thought. He didn't understand exactly what she meant by that. He didn't know if she was talking about herself or what kind of spirit she was. Still, he didn't put too much stock in it.
He talked with Alice and Alessa for a while, looking for information about this spirit. Although they couldn't confirm many things, this spirit was too intelligent and cunning. Plus, her 'teleportation' was something that even Matt couldn't match.
That ability alone was worth it, but according to Alessa, it was only a minor. So everything about her remained to be seen.
Matt didn't have to worry about Alice because he could see that this girl had very pure feelings. Somehow, she didn't look like someone dangerous, plus the contract was the right one.
That was why he left Alice's room after talking for a couple of hours and headed towards his own. He needed to try to connect with the Spirit World, as the spirit of destiny told him to.
But, in Alice's room, both girls were still talking.
Alessa quickly approached her the moment Matt left.
"Hey, hey, hey, Alice, who was that beautiful boy? Why are his red eyes different from yours? They are many times more beautiful and bewitching!"
Alice was surprised and looked at her in shock. "Girl, he's my boyfriend; why do you want to take my boyfriend away from me? Besides, you're too young for him; don't dream of impossible things." Alice replied
Alessa shrugged after hearing this. "What does it matter if he's your boyfriend? He'll be my husband. Then he'll have a greater relationship with me, hehe. Besides, I'm 16, and he only looks 20; there's not much difference." She replied, smiling a smitten smile as she remembered Matt.
Alice didn't know how to react to such bold statements, still, she spoke up some more. "Hey, little girl..."
But even though she spoke and told her several things, she soon realized that this girl was ignoring her.
Alessa was in her own world when she suddenly remembered something. "Oh, right!" she said and disappeared.
"Alice, I'll be back in a bit; I'm going to let the elders know that I found my future husband!" After saying this, her aura disappeared.
Alice could feel it there, but she couldn't even summon it, so she sighed and decided to do other things.
