Chapter 86: Sophia Murphy
Chapter 86: Sophia Murphy
Soon, they arrived at a huge mansion that was built far away from the classrooms.
'My God, so the Heirs live in such nice places?' he thought. This mansion had everything you could ever imagine.
They entered, and after walking for a while, they came to a quiet place where only birds singing could be heard. In the distance, a woman sat with her back to them, looking at the place.
The aura around her looked mysterious; it was a calm and soft aura that seemed to have no evil, but it was powerful.
'My God... This woman is very strong.' Matt thought in surprise.
He hadn't expected a student to be so strong.
Although he couldn't tell the amount of power she had, he still felt that she was mighty.
Soon, both came up behind her, and Isla smiled.
"Lady, this is Matt..." He said but was interrupted by the seated Lady standing up.
"Matthew Dietrich, uh. I finally meet you." She said, smiling and turning to look at him.
This woman was just as beautiful as Alice, but she had a different aura that Alice didn't have.
Alice's aura currently was a bit childish, but this woman's aura was one of great power and enigmas. She did not look like a student at all.
Sophia Murphy, some say that she has a unique and strange ability, for which some give her the title of Heiress of Clairvoyance. She is an enigmatic yet gentle woman, powerful yet soft.
She is therefore very famous for her warm and kind personality. Also, along with Alice, they are the only two Heiresses who are still students, so they are the most popular in the academy. However, Sophia is about to graduate.
Matt was surprised that she knew about him, though he didn't ask any questions.
"A pleasure to meet you, Miss Sophia." Matt replied respectfully, and she nodded at him.
"Aren't you going to ask why I know about you?" she asked, smiling, and Matt shook his head.
"I've heard rumors about you, so I won't ask your methods. Besides, Alice studies here, and you both belong to the same group, so maybe you know each other." He replied.
She smiled at his answer, "Hehe, you seem more interesting than I've heard and seen. So, I approve you as my little Isla's companion. You must take good care of her." She said as she laughed lightly and then pulled out several chairs for them to sit on.
The three started talking about different things, and Matt was surprised at how easily he could get along with this powerful woman.
'I feel there are two strange things... The first thing... When I see her, I get the same feeling as when I see Alice. It's as if the blood inside her is calling me to sink my teeth into her... It's strange. Do they have such a special blood type?' He thought, though there was another possibility.
'If I think of myself as someone who carries the power of the Dietrichs, perhaps I carry their blood as well. And according to Professor Reagan, the Vampire Clans have some Dietrich blood in their bodies; could that be why?' Matt thought, though there was nothing to confirm that for him.
In fact, if it was the latter case, wouldn't they also feel the same feeling? If he used logic, that should be the right thing to do.
'The problem is that the logic of this world is so weird... Well, since there is no sun to give us life, I can already see that the logic of this world is totally opposite to mine.' He thought he was slightly annoyed by this, so he cleared his mind.
"You are very thoughtful, Young Matthew." Sophia said at that moment, snapping him out of his thoughts.
He apologized, "I'm sorry, Miss Sophia. I got lost in my thoughts." He replied, and she smiled.
"Haha, it's okay. Sometimes it happens." She said and then looked at Isla.
"Can you go get us some snacks? They're in the back kitchen." She said, smiling, and Isla immediately nodded.
"Okay, Miss. I'll be right back." She said and ran off to fetch it.
So, the situation remained strangely silent until Sophia spoke.
"I heard that, even though you're Isla's team, you don't have her as a bloody partner." She said, and Matt was sincere and nodded at her.
"Why is that? I think Isla's physique is pretty good; even if you have Alice, two bloody partners are better than one." She replied, and Matt shook his head.
"Alice isn't my bloody partner either; I'm just her subordinate. But there are reasons why I didn't get one." He replied, surprising her slightly.
She looked at his face briefly, 'Oh, I get it. Looks like that girl is still as naive as ever.' She thought and smiled after that.
"I understand; it sounds like someone occupies a big part of your heart, but don't get so locked into a relationship. If you want strength, going down the path of just consuming artificial blood isn't the right one, so start considering things." She replied, and Matt nodded at her.
"Thanks for the advice, Miss Sophia." He replied, and she smiled at him.
"As long as you follow it means the advice came to a good understander and not a fool." She said with a slight chuckle.
Matt simply smiled, though his mind was full of thoughts.
There was a strange aura about this woman, very different from any aura he had ever felt on anyone before.
'It's like she has a hedge around her that prevents me from seeing through her... It's not her power; it's more like... A facet?' He thought as he stared at her.
This woman's red eyes were slightly different from those of someone with a personality like hers.
'The eyes are the window to the soul, the ones who reveal your true personality... It seems this woman is more dangerous than she appears.' Matt thought, though it was hard to tell what was strange about this woman.
"Is there something strange about my face, Young Matthew?" she asked suddenly, realizing Matt was staring at her.
Matt shook his head, "No, I just think Miss's eyes are rather unique and pretty." He replied.
She smiled a little, "Many have said it's not a good idea to court me; won't you follow their advice, Young Matthew?" she asked, and he shook his head.
"I wouldn't dare court an Heiress." He replied, and she shrugged her shoulder and made a slight sound with her tongue.
Just then, Isla came in from the side, "Lady. Matt, I brought several things to eat." She said with a smile.
After that, the three of them ate while talking about different topics, and a couple of hours later, Sophia Murphy got up.
"It's time for them to go back. You can meet the academy under my name, but don't forget to return to the Second Academy soon." She said and then looked at Matt, "Mark my words, Young Matthew." She said, and after that, she turned around and left, while Matt and Isla didn't bother her anymore and went to meet the academy.
