The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress

"We are very, very happy for you," Aleksis came and hugged her daughter affectionately. She couldn't help but shed tears when she remembered how Vega lost her unborn babies.

She was so glad that now Vega could have children again. Secretly, Aleksis was sad that Vega would never remember the children she lost, but she convinced herself that it was for good reason.

Aleksis couldn't imagine how much pain and suffering Vega would go through again if she knew.

This was for the best. What's important was Vega and Mischa would start their new lives together as a family and they were immediately blessed with a child of their own.

Aleksis just knew that both of them would become great parents. She knew Vega and Mischa very well. She thought they were ready and excited to welcome children into this world.

Ahh... as Vega's mother, Aleksis was very happy for her. She remembered how Vega and Altair became her reason to keep going when she thought she had lost the love of her life.

Her children had been her greatest joy and she couldn't wait to see them experience the same joy she had from being a parent. However, she knew it was not for everyone.

Just look at her uncle, Aldebar, who was still single at 200 years old, or her older brother, Terry who never wanted to get into any serious relationship with women, or her younger brother, Rune who loved adventures and science more than women.

Aleksis couldn't see those men get into any serious relationship and had children of their own. So, yes, marriage and children were not for everyone.

However, since that was what Vega wanted, Aleksis was happy that her daughter would get it. She thought Vega was lucky to have a good man like Mischa as her husband.

"Thank you, Mother," said Vega.

She wiped her teary eyes and smiled. She thought her mother was feeling moved because she would soon become a grandmother. And the feeling rubbed off on Vega.

She couldn't help but shed tears too. Tears of happiness. "Yeah, we are very happy too, Mom. I will have to talk to you a lot about pregnancy and raising a baby."

"Definitely," said Aleksis, also wiping tears from her eyes.

Her husband, who was standing beside her, suddenly handed out a handkerchief to her. The beautiful woman smiled and mouthed her thank you. Elios smiled back.

Vega was surprised because Mischa did the same thing. He got a handkerchief ready and gave it to her too with a sweet smile. He whispered, "Take this."

Vega hugged the man and kissed his cheek. "Thank you."

Mischa nodded and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. He said, "Luckily, I brought mine."

Vega chuckled and nodded back. She knew she chose the right man to be her husband. Mischa really treated her the way her father treated her mother.

That was the love that Vega always wanted to have. She was grateful that today her dream came true. 

While Vega and Aleksis were crying and wiping their tears, Mischa and Elios exchanged glances. There was a silent understanding between them when they saw the women they loved cried.

Both men would always be there for them.

"Well, now that all of us are here, we should talk about the wedding," Finland chirped happily. As the matriarch of the family, she loved taking care of the family events. "Where and when do you want to get married?"

"We always want to stay in Swiss," Vega said after she regained her composure. She had stopped crying and was now all smiles. "So, we are looking to buy a house there. I think we can get married in Grindelwald, where grandpa's mansion is located. What do you think?"

Caspar Schneider, Vega's grandfather, raised his hand, "I will be happy to give you the mansion in Grindelwald as a wedding gift. That way, you don't have to bother looking for a new home. You can renovate and redecorate it to your liking. I will send some designers your way."

Vega and Mischa exchanged glances. This was such a nice gesture from her grandfather. They knew Caspar had countless properties, he didn't even remember each and every one of them.

However, this mansion in Grindelwald was one of his favorites since he stayed there often. Was it okay to accept the gift from him?

Mischa was not poor. He had accumulated enough wealth for decades to live a comfortable life with his family. He could easily buy a nice big house on the mountain in Switzerland with his own money.

Finally, Vega decided to reply, "Grandfather, thank you so much for your kindness, but actually, Mischa and I can buy our own home. I know how much you love the mansion in Grindelwald."

"You are right. I love that house." Caspar just shrugged. "However, that's exactly why I am giving it to you. I will only gift you the things that I love. If I gift you something because I don't want it, it means I am treating you like a garbage can, where I toss my trash and unwanted items."

Mischa and Vega chuckled when they heard the man's reply. Well, fair enough. That meant, her grandfather loved them so much that he was willing to give them something that he treasured.

"Grandfather, you are too kind," Vega jumped into her grandfather and hugged the man. "I love you so much! Thank you for the wonderful wedding gift. We promise to take good care of it."

Mischa said thank you too. He didn't expect their visit to Germany would result in so many beautiful things. He and Vega found out they were expecting, so soon, and now they also didn't need to find a home to raise their family. Caspar just casually gifted them one of his favorite properties.

Mischa went there once. It was a really beautiful mansion with a huge garden, close to typical Swiss villages with lakes, flower fields, rivers with clear water, surrounded by the alps with eternal snow at the top.

It was heaven on earth. 

"Well, then. Now that we know you will move to Grindelwald, we should immediately plan the wedding," Caspar said. "Do you have any dates in mind?"

"I would love a summer wedding," Vega replied. "Autumn will be too cold to throw a wedding and winter or next spring will be too late."

She was talking about her pregnancy. By winter, her pregnancy would already be showing, and spring would be the time for her to give birth.

So, maybe the sooner the better?

"Summer wedding sounds good," Finland said excitedly. "We should talk about the details after lunch."

She finally remembered that she was supposed to show the couple their room before lunch because they had been traveling and must be in need of some rest. 

"That can wait. Now, you must rest. Let me show you your bedroom," she said as she grabbed Vega's hand to walk with her to the second floor. "Follow me."

"Yeah, you must rest. See you at lunchtime," said Aleksis to her daughter. Vega smiled and waved at them. She walked with Mischa to follow her grandmother to a beautiful and huge bedroom at the end of the corridor on the second floor.

"This is your room. You should rest for a bit and then join us for lunch," said Finland as she opened the door for the couple. "Hans has brought your bags here."

"Thank you, Grandma," said Vega happily.

She loved the fact that her grandmother was being thoughtful and already prepared a bedroom for her to share with Mischa even though they were not yet married.

"Rest well," said Finland with a smile. She left Vega and Mischa to themselves and returned to the family lounge to spend time with the rest of her big family.

Mischa closed the door behind him and smiled at Vega.

"That went well," he said.

"Yeah..." Vega smiled back.

It did go well. She loved that her family liked Mischa and was excited to see Vega end up with him. She felt very lucky that her love story with Mischa went smoothly without any problems.

She had heard stories about how her grandparents and her mom and dad had to go through so much in their marriages. Their love was tested and trialed before they prevailed.

Vega didn't know that she, too, had her own share of tests and trials when it came to love, but Mischa would never mention it to her. Her sufferings in the past were too great to let her remember.

"I love you," the handsome man whispered. "I can't wait to marry you."

Then, he landed a sweet kiss on her lips.
