Rio arrived home with Kazien and immediately sat down in the living room.
"I've heard everything from young master Kazien. If you accept his proposal, I will bless your relationship."
"Brother, are you serious about what you said?" Karen asked to make sure.
"Yes, I'm very serious! You can trust them! I'm sure you'll be happy, Karen."
The shy Karen could only nod in agreement with her brother's words.
"Rio, if only you had a little brother. His face would be so cute and I might-"
Slap! A palm had slapped his head quite hard.
"Ouch! Brother Davin, it hurts! What are you doing?" He groaned, enduring the pain in his head.
"Do you want to flirt with another guy besides Alvin?"
"How could I possibly want to do that! Alvin is the cutest of all the cutest guys in the world!"
"If he's the cutest in your eyes, stop flirting with other guys, you idiot!"
"I only like cute faces!"
"When you get home, just stare at Alvin's cute face until you're satisfied! I don't want my little brother to hurt someone as loyal as him. If you hurt him, I swear I'll never forgive you!" Davin threatened firmly.
"This is the first time you've threatened me."
"Because I love you both!"
"We both made an oath, you know! There's no way I—"
Davin immediately glared at him, making Kazien break out in a cold sweat.
This was the first time I'd seen his expression like this.
"That oath won't be enough if you keep teasing other people. What if Alvin teases someone else in front of you? How would you feel?"
Kazien immediately gasped and fell silent, unable to reply to his brother's words. Then he immediately stood up from his seat.
"Where are you going?"
"I want to go home and apologize to Alvin and tell dad about your relationship."
Without looking back, Kazien left Rio's house and ran towards the house.
I was wrong! I unknowingly hurt Alvin's feelings. No wonder my brother was so angry with me. I have to apologize to him!
In the house, Rio and Karen could only stare silently at the door he had just left.
"Kazien and I already know each other's personalities. He will definitely be fine. Now, please pack your things. The day after tomorrow we will go to the Vorusan region!"
Rio and Karen got up from their seats to pack the things they wanted to take.
Meanwhile, on the streets of Lazavis, Kazien, who was running, had become the center of everyone's attention. They were surprised and confused to see him.
I'm so stupid! I chose him, I'm the one who hurt him.
Slap!
He slapped his own cheek very hard. The sound of the slap could be heard by everyone around him.
"What's wrong with Young Master Kazien? Did something happen to him?" asked a worried woman.
"I don't know what happened to him either." The others replied in confusion.
"OPEN THE GATE!" Kazien shouted very loudly.
The two soldiers heard his screams in confusion, they immediately opened the gate for him.
Kazien kept running, running and running.
"What happened to Young Master Kazien? Why is he in such a hurry?"
Slam!
He had opened the door so hard that it attracted the attention of all the mansion's residents.
Alvin had to come out of the kitchen carrying a vegetable ladle in his hand. He saw Kazien running towards him. And to his surprise, Kazien immediately prostrated himself at his feet.
"I'm sorry! I unknowingly hurt your feelings. Forgive me!"
Alvin was very confused by what happened to Kazien who suddenly knelt at his feet.
"Why are you suddenly acting like this? What happened to you?"
Everyone was watching the two of them from a distance. They were also surprised by Kazien who suddenly prostrated himself and apologized to Alvin.
"When I was in the dining room, I flirted with someone else in front of you. You must have been hurt, right? Even at Rio's house, Brother Davin scolded me for trying to flirt with someone else. I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Punish me so I can atone for my mistake!"
Alvin understood why Kazien was acting strangely in front of him. He crouched down and gently held his chin. Their gazes met.
"If you regret what you did, please don't do it again."
"Yes, I swear I won't do it again! If I do it again, I will accept all your punishment."
"Then, finish all your business first. Don't you also have to buy an alchemy book?"
Kazien remembered the book he really wanted to buy. But he wanted to express his wish to Alvin first.
"Alvin, tonight I want to look at your cute face until I fall asleep!"
"What did you say? Hahaha. --- Don't you always do it every night?"
"That's right! --- Ah… Anyway, I want to look at your cute face!"
"Okay, okay, tonight you will look at my face up close. Now, quickly finish your business. I also have to learn to cook again so I can be the ideal wife for you!"
"I'm going to see dad first. Happy learning to cook, my cute prince."
Alvin shook his head as he watched Kazien's back slowly move away from him.
Meanwhile, Kazien had met his father and mother who were with Virena.
"Father, mother, please pick up Davin, Karen, and Rio at his house. Here's the address!"
Kazien handed him a piece of paper with Rio's address on it.
"So, did Davin successfully propose?"
"That's right, father! Well... even though he almost messed everything up!" He complained in annoyance.
"What happened?" Duches Larina asked curiously.
"I asked him to introduce himself casually. But instead, he introduced himself and immediately proposed. If we weren't from the Altavis family, she would have thrown us both out. I have to convince Karen again that Davin really likes her. It's so tiring dealing with women."
At the end of his story, Kazien sighed.
"I knew it. Davin will definitely have a hard time holding back!" Virena chimed in.
"Then, what about Victor? Is he willing to be Virena's future husband?"
"Although they were surprised at first, they eventually accepted the proposal. It seems Victor has also been interested in Virena for a long time," Duke Elgard replied.
"Really? Then everything is settled! I want to go to the merchant guild first. Please don't forget to pick them up."
Kazien hurried to the merchant guild to buy the books he wanted there. His steps felt lighter after apologizing to Alvin.
I wonder how much the magic books there cost. Hopefully they aren't expensive!
Everyone who saw him walking happily was confused by his sudden change.
"He was panicking earlier, but now he's smiling happily? Is the problem solved?" asked a man.
"I guess so." Another man chimed in.
His footsteps stopped right in front of a fairly large building.
Wow! The merchant guild building is much bigger than the adventurer guild. I can't wait to see and buy those books. Hopefully they sell them. I want to make a gift for my Sis Selena's wedding!
I have to protect my sister from all kinds of danger. I don't want her to get involved in anything troublesome that would put her in danger.
Kazien went to the reception desk. A handsome man greeted him there.
"Good afternoon, I'm Leonard, your attendant. Is there anything I can help you with?
Wow! He's so handsome. If sis Selena didn't have a future husband yet, I would definitely match her up with him."
"I'd like to buy some books on alchemy. Does the guild sell them?"
"Of course, sir. I'll get you all the books on alchemy you might need."
Leonard walked over to a cabinet and began taking out all the books his customer needed.
Ah… I can't wait to learn this alchemy magic and create lots of potions and other amazing things! Sis Selena, just wait! I'll definitely create something that will make you feel safe from harm as your wedding gift!
