Mira laughed softly as she lowered her head to his shoulder while her hand settled slowly on his chest.
A smile slowly tugged across her lips because she couldn't believe how much fun she had experienced today.
"Thank you for sparring with me today." Mira whispered.
"You're welcome."
"I had fun today."
"Me too."
Hearing this, Mira's lips curled into a faint smile as she turned towards him again. "Are you going to head back to your quarters soon… or would you be staying here a little longer?" Mira asked and Austin glanced at the ceiling before looking back at her.
From the way she had asked him, Austin could already guess the response she wanted to hear, and so he didn't hesitate to give her a response.
"I'd like to stay. If you don't mind."
Mira's smile widened and she shook her head as she replied. "Not at all, but if you're going to stay, would you like to have something to eat or drink?"
"Yes."
"Alright, then. I'll find a maid and have something brought over for us to eat together." Mira said as she rises slowly to her feet before brushing off her skirt.
Austin nodded and watched as she turned and made her way toward the exit.
The smile on his lips lingered for a while but as he watched her leave the room, a blue screen suddenly appeared before him
[Congratulations to the host, Mira's affection level has successfully risen to Level 2]
Seeing this, a huge grin appeared on his face.
He wasn't surprised to see this because he had expected her affection towards him to have improved due to how they had sparred and bonded today.
'Now, it's only a matter of time before her affection level reaches level three, just like Lina.' He thought to himself before turning his attention back to the screen.
[The host's attributes has also increased by 20 attribute points, and you've received an additional 20 summoning points, along with 20 new physique points as well.]
[Your summoning points is now enough to summon a maximum of two spirits.]
"Woah, woah, woah, wait a minute!"
"I can summon spirits?"
"But how?!" Austin questioned with a surprised look on his face but since the system wasn't a sentient type, it couldn't give him a response to his question.
However, Austin was already used to this by now, so he wasn't really expecting the system to answer his question but he was still surprised to see the string of words displayed in front of him.
This was because, from what he had learned about his awakened bloodline, the fourth prince had heard that the Von Jurgens were a powerful households due to their bloodline ability, which allowed them to summon spirit artifacts from the spirit realm.
These spirit artifacts had been extremely useful during spirit beasts tide and wild spirit beings rampaging into the empire.
Austin had assumed he would also be able to summon these artifacts as well but he wasn't expecting the system to tell him he would be able to summon spirits themselves rather than spirit artifacts.
Pushing this thought aside for now, Austin swiftly calmed his mind down as he tried to see the benefits of being able to summon a spirit.
Of course, the benefits of being able to do this, was indeed great, though the system didn't assured him if the spirits he could summon would be tamed or if he would have to tame them himself.
And the latter would not only be difficult, it would also be impossible to do as well because spirit beasts were mostly feared due to their aggressive nature, and taming one of them had never been done before.
"Alright, let's see what type of spirit I'll be able to summon." Austin sighed softly as he decided not to think too much about how dangerous spirits were.
Since the system said he would be able to summon a spirit, the least he could do would be to see what type of spirit he could even summon.
This was because, in the spirit realm, aside from spirit beasts and dangerous spirit beings inhabiting the realm, fairies, elementals and a few others were known to inhabit the realm as well, so Austin was interested in knowing the type he would be able to summon.
And so, with his mind made up on what he wanted to do, Austin drifted his attention back to the screen hovering in front of him.
[Would you like to summon a spirit now?]
'Yes.' Austin replied and the system acknowledged his response.
Then, he noticed as a small magic circle appeared on the floor in front of him.
But above the magic circle, Austin could see small golden orbs emerging from the floor.
The orbs slowly began to get charged with electricity, then a small figure materialized before him.
The little guy had a glowing pumpkin head and it was wearing a rich purple and gold garment , making it to look like a cute little toddler dressed for Halloween.
But the little pumpkin spirit blinked at its own arms and legs in wonder, then it turned around and its eyes met Austin's.
