Chapter 513 - New Years Eve Party (1/2)

Caspar hadn't seen Portia, Ned, and many other people from the important families in the Alchemist clan for so long. The last time was the year before Aleksis fell into a coma. Now they needed to brainstorm and discuss the clan's succession.

The truth was, Caspar no longer wanted to be the clan leader and he just wanted to focus on his family. But since there was no strong candidate to replace him, at the last meeting, he still had to hold power.

Now he already had Nicolae and Caspar and thought Nicolae would be the perfect successor. Unfortunately, Nicolae did not seem to have the ambition to be a clan leader at all.

As the heir of the Medici family, he should be able to easily get the support from clan members if only he came to introduce himself in important events like this, especially with Caspar's full support.

But now, Nicolae actually chose to spend his vacation time with Aleksis and the children rather than go with Caspar to Glasgow. Nevertheless, in his heart, Caspar felt happy, because it meant that to Nicolae, nothing was more important than Aleksis and the twins.

At the appointed time, Caspar, Finland, London, Rune, and Aldebar left for Glasgow accompanied by their staff and personal bodyguards, including Jadeith.

After they departed, Terry left Grindelwald and went to spend time with Jean's family, while Aleksis and her children were invited to spend the new year holiday at Medici Castle.

It was the first time that the Schneider family members spent their new year's holidays separately.

”It's okay,” Caspar commented while sipping his wine on the plane when Finland talked about it. ”Terry does have to share his time with his father's family. And Aleksis... Someday, she'll definitely leave us to live with her husband. We should get used to it from now on.”

Finland could only sigh. She knew that Caspar was right, but it was saddening to be separated like this.

”It's okay, technology is getting more advanced now. We can stay together even if we are separated by distance, especially with the new popular technology, Virconnect 4D.” Caspar tried to comfort his wife. He put down his wine glass and took Finland's head and laid it on his lap. ”Later, I'll try to use Virconnect in Glasgow, and we can bring the twins or Aleksis with us.”

He caressed his wife's hair. Soon, Finland felt calmer.

They arrived in Glasgow the day before the party and used it to take a walk to see the beauty of the city. London and Rune, who had never been to the area, happily ventured around their hotel. Of course, they went with the supervision of Jadeith and a few bodyguards.

Aldebar took the opportunity to have a drink with his best friend who lived in Edinburgh and intentionally came to Glasgow to meet him. Caspar and Finland rested while enjoying their time alone.

The long-awaited moment finally arrived. The magnificent Lewis family's palace looked like Rivendell, the land of the elves, that night when their guests arrived one by one. All of the perfect humans who were handsome and beautiful made the place as if it was filled with stunning elves.

The host was the most beautiful female Alchemist and everyone ceaselessly expressed their admiration for her beauty. Finland also invited a look of awe because of her unique beauty due to the half Asian gene in her body.

”Welcome, Caspar and Finland,” Ned and Portia personally welcomed Caspar and his family as he was the most respected guest invited to the event. Portia hugged Finland and kissed her cheeks, then gave her hand for Caspar to kiss. ”I hope you all had a pleasant trip.”

”Yes, everything was fun,” Finland replied with a smile. ”Happy new year.”
