Chapter 728 - Deer Hunting (1) (1/2)

Lauriel returned to his table and sat down calmly. Rosalien too. She seemed able to calm her anger and sit elegantly as if nothing had happened.

Everyone's views were now turning to Alaric, who was introducing his foster children, one by one, to members of his extended family. And vice versa.

His c.h.e.s.t was filled with happiness as he watched the people he loved were around him that day. From being the loneliest man in the world, now he had a big and warm family.

Really, so many things happened during these ten years.

There was no conflict at all when he introduced Kai, Takeshi, and Mischa and the rest of the family members. All exchanged greetings warmly and respectfully.

And in the end, it was time for them to end the meeting that day by giving the gifts from Aldebar to Alaric's four foster children, the immortality potion.

There was no doubt at all among them about the gift. They all decided to accept the potion and become immortals and be part of the Alchemists clan. After all, being young forever was everyone's dream.

”Welcome. Now you are part of us.” Caspar rose from his seat and gave his blessing to the four people. As the clan leader and as Alaric's father-in-law, he felt it was fitting for Mischa, Takeshi, Kai, and Rosalien to be part of them. He was not a purist who considered himself better than ordinary humans. So, having new members in their clan was something that he really liked.

The eyes of the four former assassins were filled with emotion as they drank the potions that were presented to them by Alaric one by one.

They have lived as ordinary people for ten years after Rhionen Assassins was disbanded. And now, being part of the Alchemists was a gift that they had never imagined before. There would be no more illnesses and weaknesses. There would be no aging, and they would have all the time in the world to do whatever they want.

The others raised their glasses and also congratulated Mischa, Takeshi, Kai, and Rosalien. ”Welcome. We are family, now and forever.”

”Thank you ...” The four nodded with a smile.

”Alright ... since we all know each other now, I would like to invite all of you to join on our deer hunting activity an hour from now, after a short rest.” Alaric finally closed their special lunch after the brief procession was over. Everyone nodded and stood up to rest before they join the deer hunting that the host had prepared.

”It is a very pleasant day,” Aleksis commented as she walked with Alaric toward their nursery on the 1st floor. Ireland and Scotland had slept peacefully in the double stroller that Alaric was pushing with his right hand.

”I agree with you,” Alaric nodded happily. He felt everything was going very smoothly, and now he could not wait for the arrival of Nicolae and his children. ”You're going to join the hunting with me, aren't you?”

Aleksis shook her head. ”I haven't practiced my shot in a long time. I'm afraid I will only trouble you guys. Besides, if I didn't shot a deer properly to immediately kill it, it will try to run away and suffer long enough. I can't bear it.”

Since she was a child, Aleksis had learned to use firearms for hunting and defending herself. As Lauriel's favorite child, she was equipped with various skills by her godfather, including the skills to use various weapons. But since she became a mother, Aleksis had never practiced, so this time she was hesitant to join.

Hunting of wild animals to control the population was a sport that many wealthy families enjoyed doing, but only people who were very skilled at using weapons were allowed to participate so that the hunted animals could be killed in one shot.

That's why this time Aleksis declined to join and only become a spectator. She would wait for the hunters to arrive in the garden while spending time with their children.

”You can ride with me, no need to shoot,” Alaric said, pressing the elevator button to the ground floor. ”You can control our horse, let me do the shooting.”
