The spirit girl was left there standing frozen like he had been. She had actually frozen two times during the whole period. The first was because she was shocked by the man's swiftness, she unfroze when he bumped into her but she didn't hear him apologize because she was still in a small shock. The second time was because just like he was charmed with her face she was charmed with his.
He had clear blue eyes, not too long eyelashes, a delicate nose and jawline. He was dressed in a foreign shirt and trousers that complimented his well built body.
She unfroze from her spot and took herself to a dark alley and teleported herself back to the lake. When she teleports it seems like she turns into water that immediately vaporizes and disappear.
When she was safely back in the pond in her spirit form she had, after thinking for a while, realized that since that man had seen her end they had made such an deep impression on each other he had to remember her. That means that as long as the blonde young man is alive and in the area she can probably never appear in the town again. She was quite saddened by this as she had enjoyed watching her hometown develop into what it was today. She wouldn't be able to see its further development until he's gone.
About one hour later some guests arrived at the castle, but it wasn't just any guests. It was the blond young man and his friend. The spirit girl had already seen them arrive and she was surprised as well as curious as to what they were doing in the castle.
The 10 th generation of that nobleman was describing details of the the castle and when he came with them to the center of the castle he told the blond young man and his friend about her story with his ancestor. He told them of how his ancestor was obsessed with her beauty and voice and how she had given up her own life to get away from him only to be turned into a spirit. How she has only appeared once the night she turned and has never been seen as well and on how she sings one evening once every week as if to make them aware that she was still there.
After telling them the story the continued on throughout the castle and when they were finished the descendant said something about prize and they got into a room she didn't have access to with her powers. What she has used to listen to her was to use one of her powers called water ball. The water ball power is similar to the crystal ball but it can only be used for surveillance and not to look into the future unlike the crystal ball.
Even though she couldn't hear them she had already guessed what they were talking about. The descendant was planning to sell his ancestors castle to the young blond man and his friend had only tagged along with him.
She didn't care who owned the castle, as long as they didn't destroy the pond that she had been tasked to protect. Over the 340 years even though she still doesn't know why the pond is so important for the gods she had grown attached to it. It has been her home for over 20 times of her old home that is now a restaurant with at least 300 years of history.
They came out of the room 20 minutes later, all three of them having a face of striking a good deal. The descendant asked the blond young man if he and his friend would want to sleep over for a night. The blond young man looked into his friend's eyes who nodded and then said yes to the descendant.
In the evening after having a delicious meal served by the castle maids the young blond man was sitting watching the pond like the nobleman had done over 300 years ago but unlike the nobleman his eyes weren't filled with lust. His blue eyes were filled with curiosity and wonder.
At some moment that evening he took a chance and asked the spirit girl to show herself to him, to sing for him. The spirit girl was reluctant to grant his request. They has after all met once in the town, but she was the only one who knew that. After pondering for awhile she finally decided to take courage head on and began singing her lullaby.
When the blond young man heard her song he closed his eyes and calmed down the emotions of excitement that had welled up in him. When he opened his eyes again he saw her sitting there by the pond with her blue hair swaying in a sudden gust of wind. Her back was facing him so he couldn't see her face but he thought she looked awfully familiar. He had never seen a blue haired girl before, much less someone who is known to be a spirit and has such a beautiful singing voice.
The spirit girl noticed the blond young man standing up and slowly starting to walk towards her. She choose to not flew but turn her head to face him.
When he saw her face he was baffled, he knew who she was, she was the beautiful girl he bumped into earlier. She was the spirit who guarded the pond of a castle that came into existence around 340 years ago. He kept moving forward and embraced her.
She met his embrace and didn't reject it, she felt something about this man, something unknown to her. Suddenly she heard her own voice sounding through her head saying that she had finally found someone she hold dear, if she takes the chance of kissing him she would be with him for life. With that said she did as he was today and they gave each other a kiss.
After kissing her the blond young man backed away and saw how water started to surround her body. After the water had disappeared she stood there in her old black hair and ebony eyes. She was dressed in the same princess dress she had on when she had run from the young nobleman so many years ago.
The girl looked at herself turning around, around, around to get a better look and then said loudly that she was human again. She was back as a 18 year old human like she was back then, she was overjoyed.
A week later the deal with the descendant had been done, apparently the blond young man had bought the castle to make it into a hotel. And because he had heard of the rumors of its pond he thought it would be a popular location. And so they lived together happily ever after managing the hotel.
