''When I see you, it's as if space and time become the finest point imaginable, as if time collapses into one speck and explodes at light speed. It's as if my universe begins and ends with you. I could run forever, search forever, but in the end, every path leads right back to your heart and soul. I then realized that I've fallen for you in a few days and I will spend the rest of my life with you.''
BOOM!
There was an explosion inside Valery's mind and her body wobbled, almost falling on the bed, she was so shocked and momentarily thought she was having a dream but soon shook her head because everything felt real, no it was real.
Unconsciously, her body trembled and her heart started beating furiously.
Ba-dump! Ba-dump! Ba-dump!
She had trouble breathing.
''Can you please accept me? I love you for eternity and cherish you like no other one.'' Alex declared with eyes full of passion as he was still kneeling.
Valery was unable to mutter a single word. She was fully shocked by the event that occurred at the last minute.
After all, as a part of her plan with her two companions, she has come into the room to give him sedatives. Her mission was even successful with Alex drinking the drugged wine.
It was just a matter of minutes before he would fall into a deep sleep for days and then she could follow her original plan.
She thought everything was going well but then suddenly, Alex wanted to return her gesture of bringing him milk. Curious, she allowed him to do so as he pleases.
But now there was no more curiosity in her mind. Her thoughts were a complete mess.
How could she ever expect that his gesture would mean that he would put an engagement ring on her finger?!
The ring was shocking enough, but then there were the words spoken by Kiba about the background of the ring.
"His father gave this ring to his mother...and now he is doing the same with me?" Valery contemplated in disbelief.
She raised her head and looked at Alex. She could see the raw emotions in his eyes amidst the tears.
"This ring must mean a lot to him." She thought in her heart. "It is the last gift from his dying mother but yet he still gave it to me.''
She was overwhelmed with emotions and her heart started wavering, the kneeling Alex at the moment looked incredibly dashing and something was changing inside her heart because of this.
"Valery, please accept will you?" He looked at her, waiting for her to speak.
"Alex, this is too much for me to contemplate," Valery tried to make up an excuse, "I don't know how to react or what to say."
"Then you don't have to," Alex said with a smile that bloomed from his heart.
Valery opened her lips to speak further, but she never got the chance as his lips zoomed into hers.
As soon as their lips met, a sweet and fragrant taste greeted her senses. She was completely stupefied as if a lightning bolt has struck her head. She felt as if she was as light as a feather, flying high in the heavens, kissing the sun.
"I..."
She opened her lips to protest, but much to her shock, he used this as an opportunity to push his tongue into her mouth.
'Shit! So be it.'
She decided to reciprocate, everything is for the sake of the mission, not because she felt happy to have been proposed to.
Well, she was happy at the moment as if she had found true happiness.
Things started escalating beyond what she previously planned.
°°°°
Outside the forest was shrouded by darkness. The light from the stars was almost non-existent at this late in the night.
In the forest, the night was far more dangerous than the day.
Dangerous monsters lurked in every corner, looking for prey. Their super-enhanced vision didn't hinder them in the slightest as they proceeded with their hunt.
The outskirts of the forest, on the other hand, were relatively safe with the presence of only low-level beasts. It was possible to avoid them as long as one has the means, such as energy markers that would radiate the presence of higher-level beasts to fool the weaker beasts.
Currently, a camp with five rooms has such means. The camp was next to a stream but no beasts targeted the camp.
In the present, two human figures were standing outside the camp.
The two figures were none other than Xavier and Ludic. Their expressions were downcast with a tinge of worry on their faces.
"Valery didn't come back after she went to Alex's room," Xavier said in a low voice, "It has already been close to an hour...could she have been caught by him?"
"This is impossible!" Ludic disagreed with the guess. "We three have done our part well so there is no way he can be suspicious!"
"That's true," Xavier nodded his head. He was sure the drugs in the wine couldn't be detected by even powerful Saint much less Alex whose level should be around 125 at best.
"But then why hasn't she returned?" Xavier once again asked. He was having an eerie feeling that something wasn't right.
"We should check out." Ludic decided after some contemplation. Xavier nodded in agreement and the two walked toward the room which was allocated to Alex.
Using mana to strengthen their vision they approached Alex's room with Xavier in the lead because he had a special skill capable of peering into things just like a thermal vision and the moment he used it.
He was directly seeing the scene inside the room.
He saw the thermal images in the form of a female lying above a male. The mouth of the male was over the breasts of the female.
"IMPOSSIBLE!" Xavier muttered in complete disbelief.
THUD!
He staggered back and fell on his butt producing a thud sound.
Ludic was shocked and hurriedly checked with a different method and upon seeing the same thing he became frozen on the spot.
'SHIT!'
