Chapter 90 - Making Plans For The Future

Ren arrived just in time for dinner. Excitedly Fae immediately ran to the door to greet him when Linda informed her that Ren was home.

"Hey ... how was the conference? How have you been all day?" asked Fae enthusiastically as she met Ren by the door.

The man was amazed to see Fae's attitude. She looked so happy to see him. The man realized he had never experienced having anyone looking so happy to see him come home. In this mansion, there were only several staff and they were all too distant from him.

This feels... heartwarming.

Ahh... it felt so good when someone was waiting for us to come home, Ren thought to himself.

He reached his hands and embraced Fae who came to him. Ren kissed the girl's forehead and answered in a cheerful voice. "The conference was a success. I'm fine. What kept you busy today?"

Fae discussed some of the books she had read as she walked hand in hand with Ren to the dining room.

"I was just trying to see if I spoke a language other than the five I was familiar with yesterday, so I went through all the books in your library to see if there were any more books in other languages ​​that I recognized," Fae replied.

"So? Do you speak any other foreign languages?" asked Ren with interest.

Fae shook her head and replied with a low voice. "No. Only those five."

Ren ruffled Fae's hair with a laugh. "It's already great that you are able to speak five languages. Why do you sound sad?"

"Hmm ... but you speak ten languages," said Fae again.

"Ahh ... we are different. I've studied various languages ​​for over 20 years and I AM a genius."

Fae admitted that Ren was right. "You're right, I should be grateful to speak five languages. Ahh .. I really want to remember where and how I learned all those languages. I don't think I learned them in school."

"Later, I will help you find more information about your parents," said Ren. "After we come home from Monaco, I'll take you to Italy and Romania. Who knows, we might find clues about your childhood with your parents there."

Fae's eyes lit up at hearing Ren's words. She hugged Ren and exclaimed happily, "It will make me so happy! Thank you so much!"

"Hmm ... don't thank me just yet. We won't necessarily find any clues," said Ren firmly. "But I promise, I'll try my best."

Fae just nodded happily. She couldn't wait to live her life with Ren, and then explored places from her past so that she could retrieve some memories from her childhood with her parents.

They ate dinner in a warm and romantic atmosphere. As usual, the two of them didn't talk much, but Fae could feel Ren's warmth and care for her.

After finishing their meal, Ren invited Fae to sit and chat in the library while enjoying a sweet port. Port was a type of sweet red wine typical of Portugal.

"This port is a personal gift from a member of the conference delegation. He is Portugal's minister of environment and has his own vineyard in Porto. He brought it especially for me," Ren said as he poured the port into Fae's glass. "I feel like this special port should be enjoyed with a special person too."

"Ahh ... thanks," said Fae. She waited for Ren to finish pouring the port for himself and then they toasted.

"I've spoken to Amelia and she will prepare everything for us to travel to Monaco," said Ren. "My schedule next week is quite busy, so, I can't spend so much time with you. You have to find things to do to entertain yourself. You can do some gardening, knitting, reading, or you can look for a school ... whatever you want. I'll be busy working."

"Very well," Fee nodded. "Is Amelia coming with us to Monaco?"

She was curious to see what Ren's secretary was like. Was Amelia pretty? From her name, she sounded like a beautiful girl ...

"No. Amelia will take care of my work here. I don't need her in Monaco," Ren replied.

"Oh, I see." On the one hand, Fee was a little relieved that Amelia was not coming with them, but on the other hand, she was still curious to know what kind of person Ren had worked closely with.

Eventually, however, Fae decided not to overthink it and refrained from asking questions about Amelia before Ren introduced them properly.

"After we get married, what do you want to do?" asked Ren.

"Uhm ... I want to find a school. I want to continue my education so I can—" Fae suddenly turned silent. She really wanted to be an educated girl so that she could keep up with Ren. She didn't want to embarrass him because he had a wife who was a country bumpkin and didn't go to school.

"Why are you quiet?" asked Ren in surprise. "I love it when you want to study. You can decide what you want to study, I'll help you go to school."

"Thank you," said Fee, nodding. "I want to study literature. I love reading. I understand several languages ​​already. It would be nice to compare literary works from different cultures and languages."

"Sounds good," Ren nodded in agreement. "I personally prefer natural sciences like physics and maths, but knowledge is knowledge."

Fee knew that Ren worked at SpaceLab before he was asked to return to Moravia by his royal family. The man was world-famous as the youngest professor to head the Space Exploration division at SpaceLab. 

He used the name Ren Hanenberg without any mention of his aristocratic status and managed to hide his identity for years.

"Do you miss your old life?" asked Fee attentively. She knew Ren did not want power and hoped to escape his duties as the successor to the Moravian throne by the royal family. Fae wanted to know if Ren actually wanted to return to SpaceLab.

Ren didn't answer for a long time. His face looked like he was thinking hard and remembering something. He then shook his head.

"I don't miss my old life. There are so many things I want to do in the future," replied Ren at last. "You will be a part of it all."

"Oh .." Fee nodded happily at Ren's words. Whatever he wanted to do, as long as Fee was in it, the girl would be delighted to be part of it.

"So .. you will go to school and learn about literature?" Ren confirmed Fee's plan. He poured another port into their glass.

The girl nodded firmly.
