Matthew, Isla, and Alice acted the sa way after hearing this.
"You stole it? Sothing that important?" incredulously, Matthew had to ask that question.
And Alessa lifted her chest and laughed. "Hehe." Her proud smile shocked Matthew, but she spoke again. "Originally, it was a ring that belonged to since I could control the entire Spirit World with it. But doesn't it look better on you? It's perfect."
Matthew looked at his finger and then looked at her.
Controlling the Supre Castle, the ruling entity of the Spirit World, naturally ant controlling it. And it wasn't sothing as simple as a Vampire Clan; it was a whole world! A whole race!
He didn't even know how to react.
"No, that's not so perfect. Do you understand what this ans? Do you know what it ans to control the Supre Castle?"
Alessa thought he was rejecting her this ti, but instead of being discouraged, she looked away like a spoiled child as she snorted. "It's nothing, since when did you beco indecisive? Since you agreed to control the Allen Clan to marry Alice, isn't my wedding gift better? I'm giving you a whole world. Clearly, it's better." She spoke.
At last, she smiled proudly and lowered to look at her chest, then looked at Matt again.
"Even though I'm not like her, I'm sure I can keep up with her."
No matter what she said, Matthew was in shock. He almost forgot how it felt to react to her nonchalant attitude.
But when he planned to talk about giving the Ring back to her, she seed to read his mind and raised her hand.
"No. The Supre Ring cannot be returned. Once it chooses an owner, it will stay with him until its owner dies. Even if I forced it to choose owner this ti, that remains."
As she finished speaking, a different voice reached Matthew's ear.
-She's right.
It was from the Spirit Essence that had been silent all this ti.
-Don't underestimate the treasure she gave you. It is very precious.
'I understand it is precious, but shouldn't a Spirit have it? It's tantamount to controlling the Spirit World, isn't it?'
-More than that. You want to tell you a secret? The Ring of the Supre does not choose anyone who is not worthy. Even if she wanted to force that Ring to have Alice or another vampire, human, or any other race as its owner, it would not accept it. But you are different. She feels you are just like her, so she took a chance, and her gamble worked well.
Matthew frowned. 'Do you an by my blood or the Spirit Essence?'
-Blood. I can only make you a distant progenitor, soone external. I would never be worthy to wear the Ring of the Supre because I have no body, much less blood. Only those with worthy blood can possess it.
'In short, it's my Dietrich blood. Is it because of the proximity to the central line? Co to think of it, you are the Spiritual Essence; surely, you have lived for over 10 million years. Did you co to know the Dietrich?'
-Of course, it is because of your Dietrich Blood, but at the sa ti, no. Not just any Dietrich could be accepted by the Ring of the Supre. And yes, I did et the Dietrichs.
In this, Matthew found a possible source of important information, so he turned his attention to trying to ask him questions now that he was actively responding.
'How do you know that not just any Dietrich could be accepted by the Ring? So, it's because of how close I am to the central bloodline?'
I know because we took the test once. You must rember that we once had a contract with the vampire race, which was made between Dietrich and us. We tested many people with the Ring of the Supre, even the children of the Great Dietrich, but they all failed. Only three people succeeded.
'Who?'
'The Great Dietrich. You and soone else.
'?'
-Don't you rember? I thought you might rember now that the Ring recognized you. It seems you have even forgotten how to use it.
Matthew couldn't help but frown even more at all this. But that was the source of information he needed.
'Wait, since you say I once had it, you an during the ancient era, I controlled the Spirit World?' he asked.
At that question, the Spirit Essence was silent for a full minute before answering.
-You were not the controller; it was just a test to see if you could do it. The controller was The Great Dietrich.
'If you say that, then sothing doesn't add up.'
-What is it?
'My death. When did I die to set the Ring free?' he questioned.
While this seed to give him information, it only created questions in his head that didn't seem to want to be answered anyti soon, which was annoying.
Once again, the Spirit Essence was silent. No one knows why.
2 minutes later, he spoke.
-When you rember your father, you will rember.
Matthew frowned. That seed to indicate to him that his father did sothing about it.
'My father was the Great Dietrich, correct?'
-If he weren't, I wouldn't have chosen you.
Matthew nodded. 'Okay, now at least I have confird that my father was that legendary man who destroyed the sun.' He thought and then asked the Essence another question.
'Why? Is there a special reason? You seem to have a lot of respect for him; is it because of his strength? He destroyed the sun, after all.'
-As long as the contract is still in force, I have a duty to do so.
His answer ca as a great shock to Matthew. 'What? Is the contract still in force? Don't they say it was broken?' He asked quickly.
-Everyone thinks it's broken because they can no longer contact the vampire race, but it's still in force. I know because I am the root of the contract. It's just inoperative; it doesn't work because it seems to be asleep.
Matthew's eyes flashed. 'Why? Can you tell the reasons for it?'
-I can't answer that question. Only you and your father should know.
'?'
-Yes.
Matthew sighed. He realized that all of that should be in his mories of the past—those blissful, wonderful mories that he couldn't rember.
That was very troubling, but it was no ti for regrets.
He shifted his focus to sothing else he found interesting.
'Who is the third person who was able to control the Ring?' he asked.
And the answer he received imdiately.
-I can't answer that question.
Leaving Matthew in shock. He couldn't even understand why he couldn't answer it.
He even told him that he and his father had managed to control it, but not that other person? Who was he or she? Ally? Enemy?
It was stressful for him to ask that question, but that was okay. It just ant that he should put a lot of effort into strengthening himself in case that person turned out to be an enemy.
However, receiving this answer made him seriously consider what questions he wanted to ask. It seed this guy wouldn't answer everything, and that was a bit annoying.
'Can you answer questions from 10 million years ago?' he asked.
The Spirit Essence today seed to be more active than ever, so he answered very quickly.
-Once, when your father was making a big plan, he told : You must be patient. Patience is a virtue that cos with rewards and keeps you active to get what you want. If you are impatient, you will destroy yourself and never accomplish what you set out to do.
Matthew frowned. He hadn't asked a question, but the Essence's answer seed to imply several things. Basically, it was telling him to be patient and that the questions in his head would be answered slowly.
Matthew closed his eyes and sighed. Then he heard the voice of the Essence once again.
-Enter the Academic World. There, you will be able to answer many of your questions yourself.
Matthew nodded slightly.
"Matt, are you listening to ?" Suddenly, a voice brought him out of his thoughts.
Then he looked at Alice, Isla, and Alessa before him, trying to talk to him. Maybe they had been doing that for a while.
He shook his head. "I'm sorry, I wasn't listening. What's wrong?" he asked, raising his hand to stroke Alessa's head a little.
"Don't do things like that in the future. Stealing from your elders will cause them to be angry; what am I supposed to tell them when I see them?" He spoke.
Alessa smiled, "What will they say? Just tell them you're the new Boss, my future husband; I'll help you beat them if they don't want to obey." She put a hand on her arm and smiled. "I'm strong."
Matthew sighed and decided not to pursue that conversation any further. He wouldn't turn it down if soone gave him sothing as good as this.
Though sohow he felt he had forgotten to ask the Spirit Essence sothing, he decided to leave it for later since he couldn't rember.
He looked at Alice and smiled at her. "It looks like sending you over there was a good idea. I can see you've strengthened yourself properly."
Alice nodded happily. "Hehe, my power increases greatly in war. Also, I was fortunate that those guys sent help to the City so I could kill a lot. I'm confident of breaking my father's record now." She replied. "But it looks like you broke it before ."
Matthew shrugged a little and raised his hand to caress her, but his hand went past to Alice's back, and an explosion occurred there.
This sent him, Alice, and Isla rolling backward, and Matthew, in one motion, stepped in front of Alice to protect her.
"Old man, I think I understand now why you are no longer the leader."
A man appeared in front of them from the darkness nearby. He smiled in a sinister manner. "Oh, yeah? Hehe, I hear you then."
Matthew scoffed. "You're such an idiot. Your choices are so predictable, and you have no charisma; you don't even know how to pick a side."
The man in front of him was, indeed, the forr leader of Clan City.
