They continued their breakfast and no longer discussed business. Aleksis stayed quiet because she was afraid that her big mouth would spill the beans about her own family. On the other hand, Alaric seemed to like breakfast in a calm and quiet atmosphere.

After eating, they finally went to the library. Alaric took out his Go game set. He would fulfill his promise to Aleksis to compete in a Go game match and he would play fair, no longer giving in to give the girl a slack.

"If I win, what do I get?" asked Aleksis who didn't want to lose, when they started putting the first pieces. "Now that I already know your name ..."

Alaric raised his face and looked at Aleksis for a moment, "What do you want? I will grant anything, as long as I don't have to show you my face."

Aleksis had expected that would be the answer. She had given up on asking Alaric to take off his mask. Hmm ... maybe someday she would be able to make Alaric drink a lot of alcohol, she would wait until he got drunk and took off his mask by himself.

Hmm ... she must request another thing.

"If I win ... can I save one request that I can exchange at any time? I know ... as long as it's not to see your face," Aleksis said after a long thought. "Now I don't want anything ... But maybe in ten years, I have something to ask from you ..."

"This is a very big request. What if ten years from now we become enemies and you want me dead? Are you going to do such a thing?" Alaric put his second piece on the board. He looked at Aleksis who was shocked to hear his words, "This would be like I'm putting my life into your hands."

"Gosh ... why do you think so far?" Aleksis covered her lips in surprise, "I can't possibly want your death. I just thought maybe in a few more years if you still don't propose to me, I could ask you to marry me .. hahaha... But strangely you are afraid that I would want you dead. We seem to be on the polar opposite of things in this matter."

Alaric shook his head, "You're going to force me to marry you? Aleksis ... you're a woman, don't be too aggressive."

"Do you think I'm being too aggressive?" Aleksis asked, disappointed. "You don't like it?"

Alaric did not answer. He only smiled as he pointed at the bowl containing Aleksis's white Go pieces. Finally, the girl put her ninth piece on the board while frowning.

Alaric didn't mind that Aleksis had a bad taste in fashion. He also accepted Aleksis being outspoken and aggressive. But he did not want to state it openly, because he was pleased to see Aleksis' frowning expression with those slightly pursed lips. This girl was really adorable when she was upset.

Alaric's silence made Aleksis's competitive spirit blazing. She was determined to win their Go match this time to get this one request from Alaric.

She would make the man suffer by asking Alaric to meet Uncle Rory. If necessary, Aleksis would follow him to England with her godfather. He would not be able to escape from her.

The game went on for hours but after lunchtime, Aleksis eventually lost. The girl had a very competitive spirit so the loss made her terribly upset.

"Ugh ... I've practiced for such a long time. I practiced with Uncle Rory, I also practiced with the online community, and my score was always very high ..." Aleksis grumbled to herself. "I'm soooo upseeettt ... I should have been able to get one request from you ..."

Alaric just laughed while ruffling Aleksis' hair. "You're greedy, huh... You already have one request from me."

Aleksis frowned, "Which one? We only competed in this Go game once ...?"

Alaric put away his Go equipment and then cleared his throat before he replied, "I told you, because I took your first kiss, I would grant you whatever you wish. Have you forgotten about it?"

Aleksis' face suddenly glowed in joy. "Ah, that's right!! Thank you for reminding me!"

She enthusiastically embraced Alaric. The man who was now accustomed to her behavior, and was no longer feeling awkward about it, returned the hug.

"Save your wish for things that really matter. I've never given anyone such a privilege before, and I think I would never do it again," Alaric said.

His words rendered Aleksis pensive for a moment. Alaric was correct, she must treasure that request and only use it for a truly precious moment. Forcing Alaric to meet Uncle Rory just because he annoyed her was out of the question.

Alright ... she would keep it well for a very key moment. Regarding Uncle Rory and Alaric, one day they would surely meet.

"Are you hungry? Do you want to have lunch now?" He asked when Aleksis let go of his arms.

The girl nodded. "I am hungry."

"Alright ... let's eat."
