The Alchemists

Even though the castle was very old, it was filled with modern equipment such as elevators and automatic doors. Caspar took Finland to the 3rd floor and showed her a very large and beautiful room.

"This is my room, our room, but I won't stay here tonight because we shouldn't meet until our wedding. So, you will rest here and I will sleep in another room."

Finland nodded.

Some staff entered to bring their suitcases, several large boxes of equipment for Finland and a wedding dress from Rosa Wang.

"Flora will arrive later in the evening and she will help you with the dress. I just told her that we are getting married. Aldebar doesn't know yet... " Caspar smiled mischievously, "He doesn't know we were going to ride on his birthday party."

"Will he not be angry?" Finland asked, concerned. "We don't have to hold a grand party after the wedding. Having you by my side is enough for me, I don't need a party."

"But I still have to introduce you to my people," said Caspar.

"We can come to Aldebar's party and announce that we are already married..." Finland said, "Let the people congratulate us, but don't turn Aldebar's party into our wedding. It's his time to shine."

"Aldebar won't be angry for a long time, in at least ten years he will forgive me," Caspar insisted.

Finland nodded impatiently.

"I don't want to start my life as your wife by offending Aldebar. Don't be selfish." She touched Caspar's cheeks and looked deeply into his eyes, "Tell me, why do you want to get married so quickly?"

Caspar brought Finland's hands to his cheeks and looked at the girl with a sad expression, "I don't want you to change your mind. That is why I want to formalize our marriage as soon as possible. Another reason is that it is very difficult to gather all our clan members like this, so Aldebar's party is a perfect occasion. Aldebar's party was first planned two years ago. If I want to plan for a wedding party today, maybe I can only have everything sorted by next year... It's so long to wait."

Finland smiled and shook her head. She knew Caspar was serious about his words.

"Okay... how about we get married tonight, when all your immediate family members are present, and tomorrow we just need to announce our marriage. People can congratulate us tomorrow if they wish. Thus, your goal is achieved, you can marry me and announce it to all clan members." Finland let go of Caspar and sat on the big beautiful bed, then tapped on the space next to her. "If we get married tonight, you don't need to sleep in another room."

Caspar was stunned. He then smiled and sat next to Finland. He placed his arm around her waist lovingly, and finally he nodded.

"You are right. My wife is very wise." He kissed Finland for a long time, "I'm very lucky. I will tell Aldebar now. Later, we will marry before dinner and celebrate with my immediate family. Tomorrow we just need to announce it."

Finland smiled happily at that.

With a heavy heart, Caspar left Finland. He must prepare to make sure their wedding tonight would be perfect. Some staff helped Finland unpack and took out the wedding dress that was sent by Rosa Wang.

They hung the dress in the middle of the room so they could admire it. It had a beautiful simple and elegant style and was made with frilly silk material. Finland couldn't wait to wear it.

"Do you want me to help you wear this dress?" asked a female staff who had a pair of beautiful brilliant brown eyes. Finland was stunned by her eyes.

She only realized that all the staff in this castle , looked young and had beautiful faces, and brilliant colored eyes. Are all these staff also Alchemists?

As if reading her mind, the girl smiled and bowed slightly.

"My name is Kara, I am a Schneider family staff member. All who work for Sir Aldebar are from the Alchemist clan. Only the chefs and gardeners are outsiders."

"Oh..." Finland was lost for words. She felt like she was entering the land of the elves in the Lord of the Rings books she had read some years ago. Caspar family's castle and the people she met brought her imaginations to Rivendell, an elven land full of beautiful people who lived young forever.

She was probably the only ordinary human among all these perfect humans.

The thought depressed her a bit.

Should she immediately accept the immortality potion and be one of them?

"I need some fresh air..." Finland said.

She quickly wore her thick coat, went out of the room and looked for the elevator they used earlier. Kara didn't try to stop her. She and other staff then cleared room and decorated it beautifully to become a room fit for newlyweds.
