Chapter 1010 - The Old Town Of Bacilia (1/2)
For a moment, Rune was stunned. His body seemed to be frozen and his brain couldn't function for a while. His eyes batted when he finally realized that Rose had kissed him on the cheek.
”You're so cute,” said Rose when she saw Rune's expression. The man looked dumbfounded that the girl had kissed him just now. Rose rubbed the man's cheek and smiled sweetly.
Rune picked up his scattered mind and smiled silly.
Ahh .. the power of love is too OP! Just one kiss on the cheek from Rose could make him so happy.
”Can you drive?” asked Rose, moving Rune from his reverie. She pressed a button and the garage door opened automatically, showing several choices of luxury cars.
Rune nodded and grinned. ”I can.”
Rose took a key from the shelf on the wall and threw it to Rune expertly. ”Let's get on the white Bentley.”
Rune caught the key from Rose and pressed the button. A convertible white Bentley flashed its headlights for one second, followed by a beep sound.
He walked over to the car and opened the door for Rose. After the girl entered and buckled up her seatbelt, Rune sat in the driver's seat and got ready to drive.
Rose opened a GPS service on a large screen located on the dashboard of the car and set their destination as the Bacilia Church in the Old Town.
”Next to the church, there is a parking lot. We can park there and then explore the Old Town on foot,” Rose explained.
”Okay.” Rune drove the luxury vehicle out of the garage, past the main house, the large garden in front of the house, and along the 2 km road leading to the front gate.
As soon as they reached the end of the driveway, the gate to the Fournier family's mansion opened automatically and the Bentley car rolled onto the main road.
The Old Town was located in the center of Bacilia, not too far from the Fournier family residence. In less than ten minutes of a leisurely drive, they arrived in the area.
”That's the church. We go this way,” said Rose, pointing at a majestic church at the end of the road. Rune nodded and immediately drove the Bentley into the parking lot beside the church.
When he and Rose got out of the car, Rune was amazed as he saw how grand and beautiful was church to their right.
At first glance, people would think that it was the snow queen's ice palace from fairy tales. This immense and majestic church had six lean and tall towers. In each tower, there was a balcony with windows and statues of angels made of white marbles.
”This is such a beautiful building,” said Rune. ”May I have a quick look inside?”
Rose smiled bitterly and shrugged. ”Sure. You can see it now or later. Anyway, we'll be here again next week because the wedding ceremony will be held in this church.”
”Oh ...” Rune immediately canceled his intention.
He understood that this church would be the venue to formalize the wedding between Prince Leon and Princess Anne. Ahh ... Rune would be a heartless man if he insisted to look inside the church today.
He decided that, actually, the church was not that beautiful. Other buildings in front of them looked more interesting.
”Let's take a walk through the Old Town as you said,” said the man with a smile, changing the subject. Rose sighed with relief.
She knew that Rune was very considerate about her feelings and had deliberately given up his d.e.s.i.r.e to look around the magnificent, beautiful church building for Rose's sake.
The girl then pulled Rune's hand and clasped their fingers while walking, holding hands out of the church area. Rune smiled when he saw his hand being held tightly by Rose.
As they exited the church parking lot, Rune saw an area filled with so many old buildings all over. No cars were allowed to pass because the area was closed to vehicles, not even bicycles.
That's why Rose had asked him to park next to the church. This old town area in Bacilia reminded Rune of several historical cities in France such as Colmar and Strasburg.
To their left was a castle-like building with several stone towers and a thick wooden gate that looked like a fortress' gate.
