Chapter 377: Unexpected invitation
Matt and Isla returned to the place where they had always stayed before.
It was quite clean, which surprised Matt.
Isla smiled at him as she saw him surprised. "I come in occasionally to clean our rooms and then go back to the Capital. That's why it's like this. I came here just the day before you came back."
Matt looked at her and smiled. "I always knew you were a dedicated woman, but I didn't expect you to be this good. You'll be a good wife in the future, so I expect you to take care of me." He replied as he went to lie down in an armchair by the window.
Isla was surprised by his statements and turned red. "You..." she said, but she couldn't express what she wanted to say, and Matt looked at her.
"Me?" he asked, smiling a little.
He raised his hand toward Isla as if he wanted to grab her and pull her to him. But she was a little further away from his hand, so he activated that vampiric power he had been training lately in his spare time. The vampiric power in his body then came out, and he grabbed Isla as if she were an invisible hand and pulled her swiftly to Matt's legs.
"I what?" he asked when she had her face very close to his.
Still, she forgot how to answer that question because of the amazing thing she had just witnessed.
"Matt, you... What was that?" she asked in shock.
Matt then smiled. "I'm coming to one of the most important stepping stones within the Path of Control. You don't know that because you weren't with me when I read this book." He said and pulled out the book to show her.
"But this book explains a little bit of what's exciting about the Dietrich Era. Plus, it has a lot of teaching about the Path of Control..." Matt then started telling her a lot of things about the Path of Control.
Since she was also walking that path, he needed to explain things to her so she could understand correctly. He explained everything, using examples from the ancient era to make it more believable.
Although Isla could possibly believe him even if he explained it with anything else, she was more focused on another subject.
So she suddenly interrupted him, "Matt, sorry to interrupt. I've always had a question. You're a Dietrich, right? A member of the Saint Clan of the Ancient Era." Her sudden question left Matt mute and unsure of how to answer.
He smiled a few seconds after falling silent. "That's right. I'm actually a member of that Clan." He answered in all honesty.
Isla was already expecting it. "It makes sense... You're so talented; it's only natural that you belong to those legendary beings. But I don't understand, how did you come to this era? Did you ever attain immortality? Or are you immortal?
If you were immortal, it would make sense that you have lived more than 10 million years." The fact that she didn't doubt what he said showed that she trusted him completely.
That made Matt smile but helplessly as he listened to her questions. "Who knows? The truth is, I don't have a lot of memories. I don't know how I got here; I don't know why I'm here either. All I know is that I'm from that Clan."
Isla nodded a little when she heard him say this. "I see, so the amnesia thing is real?"
"Of course, I have amnesia about a lot of things. I don't know why either."
Isla sighed and hugged him. "I hope your memory of our time together won't fade. You said I would be a good wife, didn't you? I will strive to be one if you marry me. Then I'll make you food every day and give you massages, too. I'll be with you whenever you want, and I'll do everything you tell me to do.
So you can't forget all that." she replied.
She said it without shame, or so it seemed, but the face buried in his chest told him otherwise. She was even red with everything she said, but it made Matt feel that she was too tender and cute, so he grabbed her face and, without thinking, planted another kiss on her lips.
It was a gentle kiss, but one that became rougher with each passing second. It was a passionate kiss that made Isla feel spellbound by Matt's lips.
But it wasn't a long kiss since Matt still had things to tell her.
And after several hours of talking, Isla fell asleep in his arms and Matt laid her down on his bed.
Then he got up, and as he looked out the window, he noticed a messenger bird swiftly approaching.
'Oh? It's not Alice's bird. Is it coming towards me?' Matt thought, and soon after, the bird flew into the room through the window. It circled around a few times and then stopped at the window again to deliver the message to Matt.
It was a small letter that had no embellishments.
When he opened it, it only said a few words.
-Matthew Dietrich, I hope you will come to my Graduation Ceremony. I would like to talk to you before I leave the Academy.
-Sophia Murphy.
Matt became interested when he saw who it was and smiled. 'This enigmatic woman seems to have an interest in me. Has she seen something?' Matt thought.
Along with the letter, there was an invitation slip made for him, so Matt didn't need to ask Alice for one.
Matt watched the bird leave and moved his attention to talking to Mei.
'Mei, we're meeting soon with a woman who uses a Clairvoyance ability. She's an Heiress, so you should keep an eye out these days.'
Mei answered quickly. "Do you want me to investigate if she is the one who has been seeing your destiny these days?" she asked, and Matt nodded.
'Partly, yes. But also because I want to see how powerful that ability is. It's one of the Fragments I have to collect, so I'd like to know how powerful it is if we compare it to your power of destiny.' He replied in his mind, and Mei nodded to him.
"Alright. I'll keep an eye out."
With those few words, Matt began a round of training outside the room. His intention is to try to advance further on the Path of Control.
Despite what he showed earlier, he is still far from entering the Early Understanding stage. He is just touching the initial stages.
That is why his training must be intensified now that he has returned to this place.
