Chapter 106 - Honeymoon (1) (1/2)

On the way to the airport Finland spent a lot of time daydreaming.

It's January 1st, and it's a new year; she would celebrate her 24th birthday on the 15th, and on the 16th she would meet Jean and go on an adventure with him for the last time. Then, on the 30th of January, they would be separated… forever...

Finland would give Jean the potion so he would forget about Finland and all the secrets about the Alchemists he accidentally heard...

Jean would definitely have a rough couple of months after taking the potion, but many people would accompany him and help him recall his forgotten life. Finland, his best friend since college, would not be there with him. She would never be a part of his life anymore.

Caspar knew this was what burdened Finland's mind, but he couldn't do anything. They all agreed that erasing Jean's memory was the best choice. He could only hope that as time passed, slowly Finland would be able to let go of Jean and live her own life to the fullest.

For some reason Caspar strongly suspected that Finland would be able to forget her best friend if she had children. After all, a mother's instincts were very strong and would supersede anything. He really hoped they would have children soon.

At the age of 438 years, for the first time in his life, Caspar felt he was already late for this fatherly role and his inner clock was ticking and urging him to have a family of his own as soon as possible.

Only now did he understand what Flora felt for Louis when his sister desperately eloped with her husband.

They flew to Barcelona to spend several days in a magnificent villa on a hilltop overlooking the city. They were able to see the beautiful city of Barcelona filled with unique buildings by Antoni Gaudi.

”Stanis lives in Barcelona. We will meet him before leaving for Madrid,” Caspar said as they landed.

Stanis sent a team to pick up his master and the new lady. Jadeith was given time off during his parents' stay in Germany, so they could spend some time together. Ben also spent the new year holiday with his own family.

Finland did not recognize any of the drivers and bodyguard teams who took them across the streets of Barcelona from the airport to their villa.

”Stephan, before going to the villa, please pass through Sagrada Familia*.” Caspar told the driver to take a slight detour because he wanted to show his wife something.

Finland often protested that he could not live like a normal person, and Caspar was eager to show the girl why she didn't want to live his life like that.

The luxury car was moving slowly as it passed by the most beautiful church made by Gaudi, Sagrada Familia. Unfortunately it's construction was unfinished, but its beauty radiated. The atmosphere was very crowded and at the entrance was a long snaking queue.

”Jeez... so full...” sighed Finland in a hopeless tone. ”It may take hours just to enter.”

She opened Google and looked for information about the building. Suddenly she shrieked happily.

”Hey, it turns out that we can buy tickets online. The regular queue at the place is very long, but if we buy the tickets online, the queue is shorter...”

Caspar cursed at the internet which provided all the information he really didn't want Finland to know, like the online ticket sales. He knew he could not argue with Finland and finally nodded.

”All right, you win. We will enter the Sagrada Familia like normal people. I will not close the place to give you a private tour. I will buy tickets online and queue with you to exchange them,” Caspar said in defeat.

Finland kissed his cheek and smiled broadly for the first time that day.
