Chapter 358 - SPOILER Alaric Meets Aleksis (1/2)

This event will happen sometime in future. How far in the future? It's still a secret. I believe this is needed to give the readers peace of mind that there will be light at the end of the tunnel once Alaric and Aleksis' relationship takes a dark turn.

Please respect the others who don't want to read spoiler by not discussing the contents of spoiler chapters in other (regular) chapters. =)

The luxury car that brought Ned and Portia arrived soon after. Aleksis, who had heard about their arrival, hurriedly went out of the castle to greet them personally.

”Welcome, Aunt Portia ... Uncle Ned ...” She bowed perfectly like a noble lady, and for a moment Portia was stunned to see her.

Aleksis wore a red dress that wrapped perfectly around her beautiful body and showed off her long legs. Her beautiful face did not need any makeup at all, and it made her look so simple yet so charming.

Her thick honey-colored hair extended beautifully on her back, and it framed her face perfectly. Even Portia, who was known as the most beautiful woman in the Alchemist clan, was impressed to see her.

”Good evening,” Portia smiled sweetly, staring at the beautiful woman with perfect manner in front of her. ”What is your name?”

”My name is Aleksis Schneider, I'm my father's daughter,” Aleksis replied with a friendly smile. ”Caspar Schneider.”

”Oh ...” Portia and Ned looked at one another in surprise.

Right at that moment, the car carrying Alaric arrived in the yard and stopped right next to Ned's car. Alaric, who had seen his godparents standing at the entrance, immediately got out of the car to approach them.

”Father, Mother ...” He greeted them. Portia and Ned turned toward him, and only then did Alaric see the girl who had been talking to his godparents.

Instantly he stopped in his tracks and stood fixed in his place. His body froze and Alaric could not take his eyes from the girl.

”My dear ... you came too,” Portia smiled at him. ”This is Aleksis Schneider, the bride. Lauriel's future daughter-in-law.”

For a brief moment, Alaric thought that he was in his Holodeck, because suddenly Aleksis was standing in front of him. His eyes instantly became foggy.

Meanwhile, Aleksis had noticed the newly arrived man and she was immediately impressed.

Was this the famous godson of Portia and Ned? she thought. She heard the man call them father and mother just now.

”I will look for Uncle Rory so he can come and meet you. He will be very happy.” Aleksis nodded kindly and invited her guests inside.

Not only her face ... but her body ... and her voice too ... they all resembled Aleksis'.

Alaric was so confused.

”Please come in, Everyone. Uncle Rory is very sorry because he forgot to invite you to his party a few years ago. He is indeed not very good at throwing parties. Auntie Portia, I hope you would forgive him ...”

Uncle Rory? Alaric's head instantly became heavy.

Portia and Ned nodded and followed Aleksis into the castle. Their first impression of the girl was very pleasing and Portia's annoyance at Lauriel had diminished a little from hearing her explanation.

Aleksis called for the waiter who immediately brought drinks and served it to the three guests before she excused herself. ”I'll be right back. Please relax and enjoy the drinks. My father and mother are almost here too.”

When she disappeared behind the door, Alaric's consciousness returned, and tears started welling up in his brilliant purple eyes.

His brain had stopped working, but his legs subconsciously ran after Aleksis' shadow, as if they had their own mind. The girl had disappeared behind the door.

This was not a dream!

This was not a fantasy feature on Holodeck!

He was at the Medici Castle and he just saw Aleksis in flesh ...
