Chapter 67: Chapter 67

"Did you hear about the South Island's resort?" Said someone in the most crowded bar in Goldia Town. It's the nearest town from South Island's border.

"Yes, I heard it from the merchant. They said it magical island."

"What? Magic! Isn't it dangerous?"

This statement make the crowd murmured.

All the guests in the bar were talking about the hot topic, the newest resort in South Island. It's considered as a tourism spot with low budget even for commoner.

Everybody got curious because the information in the brochure was interesting. So many things were beyond their imagination, especially the ride in amusement park.

"But, I'm really curious about the train in the sky called rollercoaster! Because they said that it's safe."

"Train in the sky?"

"Is it true?"

"I wonder."

"Oh! I heard for the first fifty persons who bring the brochure, they will get a room for free!"

"It is suspicious! As if they want to attract so many visitors. Is it perhaps the part of the curse?"

"I'm still wanted to go. The merchant said that a Holy Priest from the temple gave his blessing to that place."

"Holy priest?"

"Oh, my! So, it's true! Then, I have to tell my wife about this!" Said a young man in the crowd before he left from the bar.

One of his friend sighed, "Ah, must be great to be newly-wed like him. I heard the place is perfect for honeymoon."

The discussion about the resort still continued. Even they have mixed feeling about it, most likely, they will come to the resort.

A man who wore a black hoodie drink his glass before left the table. He didn't join the conversation and quietly exited the bar.

He whistled after it reached an empty street behind the bar. A black owl come and stay on his shoulder.

He whispered to it. "Tell Mister Hugo that everything was according to the plan."

The black owl stare at him without even blinked. A second later it hoots and flew, disappeared to the dark sky.

"The preparation is complete, Mary. Please tell the Young Miss about it." Baron said with a faint smile. But, no one can't ignore a dark circle around his eyes.

"Yes, Lord Ambrose. Young Miss is still on her way back. But, are you okay? You look tired and pale."

Baron forced a smile, "Yeah. Honestly, I can't sleep lately. So many things happened, and I'm perpetually overwhelmed."

Mary give him a sympathetically look. She knew what happened between Baron and his daughter.

Now, Havana refused to left meet her father and spending a lot of time in the room.

Mary chose not to say anything about it and bowed, "Then, please excuse me, Lord Ambrose. There's something I have to do. Good evening and have a good rest."

After she left his study room, Baron sighed heavily. He threw his gaze to his late wife's photograph.

"I'm sorry, Darling. I am the worst father in the world. I'm sorry."

He said before continue to write the report with sad eye.

Grant planted the seeds in the lake behind the lake. With a flick of his fingers, its blooms instantly. The golden flowers shining so brightly under the moonlight.

He's staring at his hand, "Is it just me? Or I am really getting stronger?"

Usually, he will be feeling dizzy after using a strong spell like this. But, now, he didn't even bat an eye.

Grant shrugged and pick several flowers for Kaleela. As if he knows that his niece won't complain about this.

After that, he teleported himself to the nearest florist to wrap it into a beautiful bouquet with several white lilies.

"Okay. The preparation is complete." He said while holding the bouquet tightly. His body suddenly trembled nervously.

"Okay, calm down. Everything is great. Okay."

Grant exhaled before he fly to the house. Just to find that Kaleela, Cecilia and Max were having dinner.

"Uncle! You are come at the right time! Come here, I made an omurice!"

Grant cleared his throat. His gray eyes locked into Kaleela, who still chewing her food.

He kneeled and gave the bouquet to her.

"Will you… will you marry me, Kaleela?"

"Oh my!" Cecilia gasped and closed her mouth with both hand.

Meanwhile, Kaleela didn't seem surprised and still eating. She answered without even show any excitement. "Okay."

"You forgot the ring, Sir." Max said, while put his left hand under his chin.

Cecilia clapping her hand excitedly. "Congratulation, you two! I hope you will have a good life! Too bad, my wine still fermenting! We should drink something special to celebrate it."

Grant smile brightly after he kissed Kaleela's forehead, "No need! I am truly happy right now!"

Then she approached to hug both of Kaleela and Grant, "Congratulations! Please come to the Island. It's the perfect place to honeymoon! I will give you discount 50% off."

Grant sighed, "You must be kidding me. Don't tell me you are planning this? Besides, I was there to help the construction."

Cecilia snickered, "How could I do that, Uncle? Business is business."

"Cheapskate!" He rolled his eyes and pretend to irritated

"Wait, what do you mean? An island for honeymoon." Kaleela asked with curiosity.

While they are talking to each other, Max focused on eating. Omurice or sweet, sour, and savory fried rice packed with crispy vegetables wrapped in a soft and thin omelette. It was invented in Japan before come to Korea.

One of the vegetables she used was green and red pepper, it gives a spicy yet crunchy sensation to his mouth.

Cecilia is a talented cook and Max hope that he can taste her food every day.

"It must be great." Max murmured to himself.

"Max?" Cecilia's voice shattered his train of thoughts. She put a plate of omurice in front of him. "Do you want to eat this again? Uncle left before eat. Don't worry, it's still untouched."

Max raised his brow, "And Kaleela?"

"She already left, too. They said they will go back to Hagrav for several days. But fortunately, Auntie already ate all of her food. I'm glad she likes it!"

"Hmm, okay then. I will eat this."

"Thank you! I'm full because Auntie give me so many snacks before dinner. Anyway, did you like it?"

"Yes. Can you make a spicier next time?"

"Okay, noted." She nodded while drink her tea.

Max looks at her calm face and wonder if he can survive without seeing her face for a day. Does he have a chance to be with her?

Without being his guardian? "Chili, I hope we can eat together like this."

Cecilia smile faintly and held his hand, "Of course. You can go to my house to have dinner. My father will be glad to have you around."

"It's not what I mean." He sighed heavily.

"Hmm?"

Seeing her clueless expression, making him holding back his word. "No. Forget it."
