Chapter - 97 [ Date! - With Beta 2 , Spirit Realm! ]

Adam and Beta was now drinking a type of fruit juice available only in the empire.

"Hn..? This is..."

"What's wrong..?"

To Beta's muttering, Adam asked. She said, "This juice tastes like triple peach."

"That's right young lady! You are knowledgeable! This is a famous fruit that's only available in our empire! The reason for its name is because of its three layered speciality! Each layer tastes differently, which is the same as this layered design."

He said as he pointed at the glass filled with three layered juice. The uppermost layer was Black in color. The second and third layer were colored white and brown respectively.

"You have eaten one of those before..?" Adam asked.

"Yeah... Actually, it was a gift from one of my friends. After tasting it, I ate it almost everyday though..."

The shopkeeper tilted his head confusedly while Adam nodded in understanding. After paying, they continued their date.

"Could your friend he...one of the Guardians..?"

"Hm? No... It was actually not someone that strong. Its actually a high level spirit. During the ancient war, we fought against the apostles together. After our imprisonment, I was never able to see them again.... If I remember correctly, they live in this part of the world. So may be they are near us.."

"A spirit huh.. If you want to find someone from the spirit race, just tell me."

"You know any spirits, master..?"

He smiled and said, "I don't about the past, but the current Spirit Queen is my Future Wife..."

She stopped on her tracks and asked, "Really..? I don't know if this spirit is the same spirit queen from the ancient era, but I'd like to ask if it's okay."

He nodded and said, "Then, when our date is finished, I'll call her over and ask."

She smiled. Even though she didn't have that much emotions for the residents of this world, that wasn't the same for some people...

It was almost evening....

Adam and Beta was now waiting on top of the tallest building they saw in the capital. As they were waiting, Celeste appeared with a confused expression.

Although she was happy to be of use to him, she was confused when he suddenly asked her to come to the Aragon Empire to help find someone. She knows if he wanted, he could have found them easily. Unless it includes spirits.

Her eyes were attracted towards the white haired beauty as she asked,

"Adam... What's wrong..? And who's this lady..?"

"Sorry for calling you so suddenly. I wanted your help to find a certain spirit. Can you help me.?"

She nodded. As he was asking her, Beta was staring at Celeste as if trying to read her.

"Also, this may be sudden, but this lady here is someone you probably knows. She wanted to find her friend who is a spirit. Oh, and she's one of the guardians of this world. Do you have a knowledge related to it..?"

His words were like lightning to Celeste. She hurriedly bowed a little and said,

"Forgive my disrespect. I am the current Spirit Queen, Celeste is my name. Its a pleasure to meet one of the legendary Gaurdians of the world."

Seeing her reaction, he understood that she did have knowledge about them.

"This makes it easier. Celeste right..? Can you tell me where your Ancestor is..? The first Spirit Queen/King..?"

Hearing her words, Adam understood that the ancestor of the spirits most likely doesn't have a fixed gender. But he ignored it and waited for Celeste to respond.

"If it's the Ancestor you are searching for, they are currently resting in a secluded place of the spirit realm. If you would like, I will lead you."

Beta nodded her head. "Please do so. So, I will be leaving for now, Master. I'll see you later..."

He nodded. Confused by the word 'master' Celeste looked for answers. He pointed at Beta and said,

"Just ask her. She will explain everything."

She nodded. Then Celeste disappeared together with Beta from that place. Adam sighed and went back to the castle.....

Inside a different space , Celeste together with Beta appeared out of nowhere.

"Its been long since I've been to the spirit realm... But it looks the same huh..."

To Beta's muttering, Celeste nervously smiled before asking,

"If you don't mind, can you wait while I go notify the ancestor...?"

"Hm? Ah, you don't have to worry. Because, she's already here."

"Huh?"

Celeste could only utter an confused voice. Beta urged her to look behind by pointing. Turning back she saw a familiar person. That person's entire aura and atmosphere was screaming the words 'kindness and compassionate'. This person had the body of a human woman. She had crystal like ash eyes and white hair. Behind her, there was a white transparent spirit circle accompanied by her fluttering clothes. This was the spirit race ancestor!

Celeste suddenly bowed in respect and was about to greet this person, when the person in the question suddenly asked the smiling Beta with a troubled expression.

"Why are you here, Second..?"

As it was disrespectful to get in her ancestor's way of talking, Celeste didn't bother complaining about ignoring her.

"That's a harsh words for once your best friend, Helena..."

"Is that so? ... So? What do you want..?"

Seeing herself trying to question her friend in an infinite loop, Beta sighed and said, "Its nothing... I was just worried about what happened to you. You know... I haven't been in touch with you after what happened in the past. No. I couldn't contact anyone, even one of my own... But you see... After all these years, I am seriously happy, knowing you are doing well.."

The spirit Ancestor, Helena, stared at Beta for a few seconds before sighing. Then she said,

"I know... I am sorry for acting like that... Anyway, how are you even here..? I am sure you are supposed to be sealed forever. So how are you here without the help of 'that person', Second ..?"

Beta nodded and said, "You are right. But that's impossible since 'that person' is in deep slumber still. I was able to escape thanks to a certain someone. Ah! My name is no more, Second, Helena. Call me Beta from now on."

"Beta..? Okay. But why did you chose such a name..? I don't know it's meaning..?" The spirit Ancestor Helena tilted her head cutely with a confused look.

"Then hear it! Its a name given to me by my Master!" Beta puffed out her chest at the Mention of Adam. Celeste understanding who Beta was talking about nodded her head. Helena finding the duo's actions funny, tilted her head again. But her eyes widened when she remembered a part of Beta's words.

"Did you just say...'master'?"

Beta smiled and nodded continuously before saying, "That's right! My Master! He unsealed me and gave me the name Beta, which means Second according to his words! After talking to him for a few moments, I was awestruck by how impossible his existence itself is! Thus, I decided to contract with him in equal standings. But guess what? That wasn't even an option! I could only have a pact with him if it's only a Master-Servant Pact! After getting more interested in him, I submitted myself to him. But after the contract, my whole common sense was destroyed like it was nothing, you know..!?"

Hearing Beta talking so excitedly, Helena was seriously shocked. But her shock was even more when she heard Beta saying about submitting to someone.

"You submitted to someone..?! You, who is a Demi-God..?! That's impossible unless that person is a God level existence!"

As it was her first time seeing her ancestor talking like this, Celeste was thinking now what has Adam done to Beta.

"Hmm! I never seen you so flustered! That's right! If I am right, my master is your contracted master, right? Celeste?"

As if noticing her existence, Helena turned towards Celeste for answers. After sighing, Celeste explained about how she met Adam and what their relationship is even.

After telling them everything other than some secrets of Adam, Celeste sighed once again. After hearing everything from her, the duo of Demi-Gods were having their second discussion.

"What a mysterious existence... He is young, but he is already so strong..? And he is a human! Moreover, he have two powerhouses under his command! One is the current Spirit Queen and the other is One of the Guardians of the world..!? Isn't he already too much of threat..?!"

Helena asked with a worried face.

"You don't have to worry about that, Helena. Besides, If my guess is right, he is probably the person who is supposed to lead us, as mentioned in the 'Prophecy'!"

"!?!? You don't mean 'that'..?"

Beta nodded. Helena held her head against her palm and sighed.

"So, the 'Prophecy' about the future 'destruction and restoration' was true huh..? Hmm... Hey, if possible, I'd like to meet this person."

To her request, both Celeste and Beta nodded their head. "Then, why don't you come with us now..?" Beta said. As she was with him when they decided the schedule, she knew about what he has planned to do. To her words, Helena smiled,

"Very well. If what you said is true, then I will....Fufufu..."

"..?"

"..??"

Her words didn't finish and her laugh, they confused Celeste and Beta. But ignoring what's going through the strange spirit ancestor's mind, the duo sighed. Then the next second, their presence disappeared from that place.
