Chapter 113 - In Paris with Jean (1/2)

The next morning, Caspar had a serious talk with Finland during breakfast.

”I know you don't like to be followed, but I will be honest with you, that from today, as soon as I return to Germany, I will ask Famke and Ivan to look after you. They will not report to me what you are doing. It's only to ensure your safety. ”

Indeed, Caspar had promised Finland to act like a normal man by not using his access to extraordinary information to know everything about Finland especially when they are not together.

He must call or text her like regular man if he wanted to know what Finland was doing or wanted, so that they could become equals. But after they were married, and Finland was introduced to the entire Alchemist community, her safety became first priority for Caspar, exceeding his promise to her.

”My safety?” Finland asked.

”Yes. I told you that I have enemies. I don't want them to take the opportunity when you are far from me to bother you,” Caspar answered. ”I wanted to protect you quietly, but because we are married, I don't want to hide anything from you. Therefore, I ask for your permission to leave Famke and Ivan here. They will give you privacy and will not report your movements and whatever you do to me, but they will protect you if anything were to happen.”

Finland was stunned to hear that. She thought that her last two weeks with Jean would be the last time she spent as a commoner. They would go on adventures, travel by public transportation, and do things just the two of them liked.

However, it turned out that Caspar wanted to send his bodyguards to watch over them. It was rather difficult for her to accept it.

”What should I say to Jean? You also have to tell him, because you guys are also disturbing his privacy, not just mine,” Finland finally said.

”Famke and Ivan will not interfere with your privacy. They are very professional and will not show themselves. If I hadn't told you about this, you would never know that I sent people to look after you. I am now letting you know, because I do not want to hide anything from you, now that we are married.”

”But we will travel by train and bus, how can they follow us?” Finland asked, confused.

Caspar smiled and ruffled Finland's hair fondly, ”You don't need to think about anything. Let them take care of themselves.”

”Hmm... well then.” Finland knew she had no choice and was forced to say yes.

Caspar would go straight to Germany after breakfast and Finland promised to meet Jean in the hotel lobby at lunch. In fact, although Finland was very happy to see Jean again, she felt sad because she had to be separated from Caspar for two long weeks. It was a shame that in this life, people had to make choices; they couldn't get everything they wanted.

”I'm leaving first. Everyone at the hotel knows you are an important person here. Only the general manager knows your identity. If there's anything you need, you can go to him or call me or Stanis at any time,” Caspar said to her before he left.

Finland nodded in understanding. Caspar kissed her and said goodbye. When he walked out of the penthouse door, Finland already missed him.
