The Alchemists

Finland slept with a warm smile that night. Caspar, who was still accustomed to the German time zone, which was 7 hours behind Singapore, waited by her side, watching the girl's peaceful face.

For the four months he had known her, he had never seen Finland's expression so peaceful before. Secretly he was proud of himself because the smile on the girl's face was the result of his hard work.

A smile was engraved on his face as he thought of everything that had happened since he met Finland at the airport until the incident today which forced him to buy another aviation company.

That's right, Atlas Corp was the second aviation company he owned. Some time ago he bought the majority stake in an aviation company in France, Aves Inc., because he liked their aircraft products. He was currently using one of their products: a private aircraft from Aves Inc.

He couldn't let Noah hurt Finland without punishing him properly, namely firing him from his position as Atlas Corp's Marketing Manager.

Therefore, Caspar asked Stanis to offer Sam Atlas, the owner of the company, a lot of money to sell Atlas Corp to him.

Unfortunately, Sam refused whatever money offered by Stanis and Caspar was forced to give him permission to offer something more valuable than money: knowledge.

Sam really loved his company, but he loved science more. When Stanis gave him an offer to meet with Caspar to chat about alchemy, in an undisclosed location, he finally agreed to sell 80% of the company's shares to the Schneider Group.

Caspar kept this information from Finland, because he did not want the girl to worry. When he saw her eyes spark with love and gratitude, he felt that all the money and effort he spent last night was worth it.

He knew that he really loved this girl, because he was only happy when he saw Finland happy...

And thanks to his sincerity, Finland finally returned his love last night.

Caspar had never felt so happy.

Because Finland had returned his love, he was now busy thinking of the most romantic way to propose to the girl, then hold a wedding.

The Alchemists will witness the most magnificent wedding ever in their history.

Caspar was the most famous eligible bachelor among his people. Apart from being one of the oldest and most influential, he was also the head of the Schneider family, who had been the leader of the clan from generation to generation. Everyone listened to his orders.

There were 5 influential families among the Alchemist clan, but only the Schneider family had the immortality potion as their family legacy. This potion was now guarded by his younger brother, Aldebar.

Given the importance of marriage to an Alchemist, Caspar and Finland's wedding would certainly be a very important event that would impact the entire clan.

Aldebar's 200th birthday would take place at the end of next month. He could announce his engagement there when all the Alchemist clans gathered for that event...

Or...

He could marry Finland there and then. Caspar didn't want to wait too long; he had to get this girl before she changed her mind.

Moreover, it was more practical to do the wedding next month because almost all clan members would be there...

Aldebar would be very upset if Caspar took the opportunity to marry Finland on his birthday, but he would forgive his brother someday. Caspar could wait until Aldebar's resentment subsided. His brother had never been angry for more than ten years.

Hmmm...

Caspar's thoughts ran wild and he couldn't keep a smile from arching on his face. He then turned to his side, to the beautiful girl who was sleeping next to him.

"You already belong to me," he whispered softly. "Just look, you will be the proud wife of Caspar Alexander Sebastian Heinrich von Schneider. I promise."

He kissed Finland's forehead very softly, so the girl didn't wake up, then tried to close his eyes and sleep.

Finally sleep came to him at 4 am.
