Watching Alice's pitiful expression, William couldn't help but smile even more.
"Don't worry, I think you won't die." William dared not foretell Alice's future, nor did he want to, but with the holy aura surrounding her head, even an incarnation of the sea god Poseidon surely couldn't kill Alice. Only the sea god Poseidon himself might pose a real threat.
"But that's the sea god Poseidon!" Alice never imagined that characters from mythology would actually come to life.
Her, an advanced level Soulmancer, battling the sea god Poseidon?
William was perhaps overestimating her.
"It's just an incarnation, nothing to worry about. You don't need to be afraid of him," William reassured her. "It's not the full power of the sea god Poseidon."
Alice couldn't help but give a wry smile, "Even if it's just an incarnation, it's still an incarnation of the sea god Poseidon. How am I supposed to fight against that kind of power?"
William replied with a smile, "Don't worry, if you really can't beat him, I'll step in, just like I did in Ravenwood."
Alice then asked in a low voice, "And what if we still can't win?" josei
William shrugged, "Then we'll just have to die together."
Alice had thought William would confidently assure her that even the sea god Poseidon was no match for him.
"Stop overthinking, you'll know once you've fought," William said as they arrived at the Soulmancer Academy. "Let me show you where I'm staying first."
Alice nodded, following William to his villa.
Was William finally coming around to the idea of living together, to enjoy their own little world of happiness?
Alice had already forgotten about the sword duel. She still wanted to believe in William, at least that he wouldn't let her face death.
Were they building their love nest before marriage?
Lost in these thoughts, Alice couldn't help but smile to herself.
"Give me the key to the door; I'll open it." Alice was already thinking about how to decorate their cozy little home.
Should they get a cat or a dog? Maybe a Golden Retriever, plant some flowers and succulents, which don't require much care...
Alice was beaming with joy all the way. When she opened the door, she saw Luna and Erebus, two little kids, sitting on the living room sofa watching TV.
"Mr. Johnson, you're back," Luna greeted upon seeing Alice, saying with face-blindness, "Alice, have you finished your secret training? Want some ice cream?"
"Oh, no thanks," Alice replied.
Alice's face flushed hotly, grabbing William's hand, she asked, "What did you just tell him... you said I'm your what?"
William frowned, "Aren't you my wife? We are practically married."
His serious demeanor made Alice's heart race.
Was he using his most solemn face to say the sweetest words?
But how could he say that out loud?
That's so embarrassing!
There are so many people around!
"I... we haven't gotten a Marriage Certificate yet, I'm not your wife!" Alice protested verbally, yet her hand clutched William's tightly, as if afraid he would run away if she let go.
William's expression grew more serious, asking, "Don't you want to marry me?"
Alice was almost driven to despair. Had she ever said she didn't want to marry him?
Didn't he understand a girl's modesty?
William's brow relaxed into a smile, "I get it, you're just shy."
He fancied himself as someone who understood women, much like some love experts who are perennially single.
Due to the context of past eras, marriages among nobility were arranged by families and formed as political alliances, meaning William never really experienced true romance.
Later on, it goes without saying that William either engaged in various odd jobs or simply relied on his charm to captivate women.
The process of courtship was practically skipped.
He had been with many women, but he definitely couldn't be considered a true romantic.
"Don't say any more." Alice glared fiercely at William.
William naturally ceased speaking,he wasn't foolish. Alice's reaction was clearly not one of unwillingness.
Zoey, while drying her hair, asked in surprise, "You two are married?"
William responded, "Not yet, but she's essentially my wife already."
"Why?" Zoey pondered aloud, "I remember you need to get a Marriage Certificate from the City Clerk's Office to be legally married."
William gave her a dismissive look, "You wouldn't understand even if I explained."
"Oh!" Zoey responded and continued drying her hair.
