Chương 97: Let’s have a secret meeting
I have decided on a name for the planet spirit. But, I have to wait a bit more to name her. My <Spirit> is still recovering. I need to rest too.
No one is home yet. I was thinking what they were doing. Suddenly, I heard a knock. Probably on the gate. But the house should be locked. They must have the key. I decided to ignore the knock but I couldn't.
The knocking didn't stop and I had to reluctantly go and answer the door. I asked the planet spirit to return to the singularity. I guess I can sustain them again.
When I opened the door, I was met with a beautiful woman. Her hair is brown and her face is perfect. However, she is probably the same age as my mother. Maybe a bit older.
She is dressed nicely. That must mean, she is from a good household. I won't describe anything other than that. Because, checking out a woman who is clearly older than my mother is not to my taste.
"Yes, how may I help you?"
I asked the lady. Let's call her that. Because she has a regal aura to her. She was startled at first but she breathed and looked at me.
"You are? This is the Adams residence. Where is Fiona?"
"Both Fay and Fiona are out. I was house sitting because I was ill. You can say, I am a friend of Fay."
"A friend? Fay never mentioned having a friend like you. You….don't seem to be from here."
"How about you come inside? It's rude to make a guest stand at the door."
I move from the doorway and let her inside. She walked inside and sat on the single sofa. Her movement is fluid. She isn't looking for or hesitating when taking a seat.
She seems to come here a lot, I guess! From her perspective, I am but an outsider.
"But where could Fiona have gone?"
"She said that she is shopping for dinner. It has been a while since she left. I reckon she will be back soon."
A moment of silence. It's awkward. I have never been the type to initiate a conversation. She doesn't seem like one either. So, I take it that it's up to me now.
"I am Clive Belmont. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance."
First, I should give her my name. It's rude to ask someone their name without giving your own.
"Oh…I am Dorothy McBrine."
She gives me her name. But Dorothy McBrine, a very nice name.
"Where are you from? You don't seem a local." (Dorothy)
"Well, I am from Earth."
I have no reason to lie. Besides, I am the type of person who flexes. I don't hide my powers. But I don't use it for nonsense either.
"Earth? Where is that country?" (Dorothy)
"Well, it's not a country. It's a planet similar to this Jupiter. It exists in another world."
It might take her by shock. I was fully prepared to be stared at. However, contrary to my expectations, she is thinking.
What could she be thinking? After a brief silence, she looks at me like a creaking doll. Of course she isn't making any creaking sounds but her actions are similar.
"You don't mean that you are from a different world, are you?" (Dorothy)
Her voice has a lot of emotions mixed in. I can't say if she is afraid or surprised.
"Yes. I came here a few days ago but I got ill and now I am recuperating here. Fay is the one who sheltered me. But our deal was that I will send her home."
"So, you are from that reported world?" (Dorothy)
Her voice became solemn. She regained her composure and is exuding a pressure. A pressure akin to a queen.
"Yes. Fay went to my world to investigate but got stranded. I made a deal with her that she would guide me and I will send her home."
"Wasn't that world a barren planet? We got a report that the humans of that world perished from war." (Dorothy)
"If you are talking about the extinction of humanity, then your people killed all of us. Watch this."
I project the footage of the attack. It's a hologram projection. I am projecting the data from my memory. She is intently looking at the projection.
After it ends, she looks at me with a look of utter disbelief.
"I know what you are thinking but that is what actually happened. Everyone died except me. Do you recognize the ship?"
"Yes. It was a ship which originally belonged to the gods. They gave it to the Royal family and Aves family was put in charge of the ship. If what you showed me was true, then Aves family was behind the attack." (Dorothy)
She is trying to push the blame onto Aves family. Not the gods or the Royal family.
I won't say anything much. After a few minutes, she hurriedly left. I asked her to wait. But she didn't wait. She left like a storm.
(Clive, you went ahead and told the queen everything. Wasn't that foolish?)
Maybe I made a mistake. But nothing changes. Let her inform the king. Let the king come. I will crush every last one of them. It doesn't matter who it is.
(Haaaahhhh….anyway, what about your plan for tonight?)
I will go to the place where I was crucified in my dream. I should make that dream a reality. It would help us all a lot. I'll be there with my direct dependents. Can you come as well?
(I will. I have already shown myself to everyone anyway.)
System talks to me in a languid tone. I guess this is boring to her. But, my plan of a perfect life isn't complete yet. Let's have a secret meeting. Though it should have been in this chapter. Next time, find out what my stupid plan actually is and the reactions of others when they listen to it.
