Chapter 70 - I love you (1/2)

When Caspar carried her into the pavilion, Finland's mind came to her senses.

Apparently, she had accepted Caspar's proposal with tears trickling down her cheeks. She felt very moved... She felt very loved... She felt precious... She loved this man so much…

When Caspar and Finland entered the pavilion, the orchestra group quietly cleared their equipment and left, to give them privacy.

Within five minutes, the place had become quiet. Finland could only hear the insects outside, and the sound of their breaths.

”I can't wait to make you my wife...” Caspar whispered. ”Let's get married in Germany at the end of this year... All Alchemist clan members will come to attend Aldebar's 200th birthday. I wish to introduce you to everyone.”

He laid Finland on the bed and sat on the edge of the bed while caressing her hair.

”Is that not too soon?” Finland asked.

”Actually, when you accepted my proposal, I have already considered you as my wife. Our commitment is more important than the wedding ceremony. But I still want to show you to everyone. And you also have to drink the immortality potion from Aldebar.”

Uhm...

”About that...” Finland found it rather difficult to explain her decision, ”I don't know if I'm ready to live as an immortal. It's a commitment that is greater than just marrying you.”

”What do you mean it's a greater commitment?” Caspar asked in surprise. ”Everyone wants to be immortal.”

”I don't.” answered Finland. ”I don't know if I am ready to live forever like you. I am an ordinary human being who is used to living a normal life. You are used to extraordinary things from the moment you were born, and it may be difficult for you to understand what I mean...”

Caspar looked at Finland for a long time. His lips pursed sadly which made Finland feel so bad.

”But you still want to marry me, right?” Caspar asked later.

Finland nodded. ”Yes.”

”Alright. As I go along, I will convince you that life as an immortal is fun. When our children are born, you will definitely want to live forever so you can always take care and look after them.”
