Chapter 254 - Never felt this happy

When the three luxury cars of the Schneider family arrived in the front of the castle, they were welcomed by Kara, Jadeith, and a dozen other staff who looked very happy.

"Hey... welcome..."

Finland and Caspar were rewarded with a huge surprise when they entered the castle living room. Sitting casually in the living room was a a handsome young man with long golden hair who wore a Victorian outfit.

"You?" Caspar had to blink his eyes several times to make sure that the person in front of him was really his younger brother, Aldebar.

"I was only gone for three years and in those three years you managed to give me one niece and one nephew. Gosh... you guys..." the young man exclaimed while laughing.

"Aldebar?" Caspar was shocked but also delighted to see his brother's sudden appearance, "Shouldn't you wake up in 6.5 years? What happened?"

He immediately embraced his brother warmly and checked if anything had changed, and a moment later he hit his brother's shoulders because he missed Aldebar, "You don't know how much I missed you."

"Wow, that's a first," said Aldebar, chuckling. "I already know what happened. Kara told me everything. So tonight, I will work and make an immortality potion for Finland so that she can live forever with you."

Jean, who had just entered the living room, overheard Aldebar's words and immediately gasped. He looked at Caspar and Finland alternately.

He finally understood what had happened.

"Is that true? Finland hasn't taken her immortality potion yet?" He looked shocked, "Was it her potion that you gave to me when I was shot?"

"Jean, never mind... we don't need to discuss this again. What is important now is that Aldebar has returned..." said Finland soothingly, "Everything will be fine, all right..."

Jean suddenly hugged Finland and Caspar together; he was very touched.

He did not expect that these two people would give up Finland's immortality potion to save his life, so that now he could become an immortal human just like them.

Caspar, who had never been hugged by Jean, initially felt awkward, but then he could accept that Jean, as Finland's best friend, was now also his friend. You could say they were now like family.

He responded to Jean's embrace and patted his shoulders.

"Welcome to the family, Jean."

Jean had grown up as lonely as Finland, and now he had the friends and family that he loved.

He felt very touched.

Billie Yves, who had just come in and didn't know what had happened before, only saw the three people hugging, and she was touched.

"I told you, right? Your friendship is very inspiring..." she said with a smile as she looked at the three people.

Because Billie did not yet know the secrets of the Alchemists, they stopped discussing the immortality potion and focused on Aldebar, who suddenly appeared in the castle.

"What happened? Why did you decide to come back so soon?" Lauriel asked when he saw Aldebar.

"Oh, I stopped my research. I've actually designed a tool that would automatically wake me up if my body condition goes down and I'm threatened with death." Aldebar said, explaining what had happened, "It would also wake me up when an emergency event occurred and I am most needed. It was all included in my backup plan. There is no way I would be stupid enough to stay asleep if there was an urgency happening in the world, such as war or death of a family member."

"So... then what urgent event triggered your device to wake you up?" Caspar asked in surprise. "There is no war and no one died..."

In his heart he felt exasperated because he did not know that Aldebar could be awakened before his research was completed. If he had known, he would have woken his younger brother up months ago to make an immortality potion for Finland.

"Oh, nothing urgent happened," Aldebar shrugged, his face looked a little embarrassed, "My instrument broke. Yesterday, the detector suddenly went awry and turned on an automatic warning, which then woke me up when nothing urgent happened. I have to fix it."

Gosh...

Apparently Aldebar woke up early just by accident. The equipment was broken. Ughh...

"Everything happens for a reason," Lauriel said suddenly. "I don't believe in coincidences."

Caspar nodded. "Whatever it is, coincidentally or not, I'm very happy because Aldebar is back with us. It must be celebrated."

He ordered his staff to bring the best champagne and glasses for them to drink to celebrate this happy day.

Yesterday was his birthday, London was born, Aldebar returned, Lauriel no longer wanted Death, and Finland and her children could immediately drink the immortality potion.

What a perfect day!

After almost 9 months of not drinking wine, Caspar and Finland were very happy because they could go back to drinking together and share happiness with their loved ones.

"Shhh... Jean, now you have to think about what you plan to do with Billie, because Aldebar has returned..." Finland whispered into Jean's ear as Jean poured champagne into her glass.

Jean just nodded awkwardly, then glanced at Billie. That girl was very beautiful, very talented, and had a kind heart. They had indeed become lovers, but Jean did not know whether he was sure of his feelings and if he wanted to live forever with Billie.

He needed time to think.

"I'll decide next year... It's still too early," Jean whispered back to Finland.

"All right. But if you don't hurry up, she will be taken by someone else later," Finland said.

Jean nodded.

"I understand. I'm not that stupid to repeat the same mistakes," he said with a thin smile. Finland just laughed at that.

The six people who already considered themselves like family spent all afternoon and evening chatting while drinking champagne and laughing.

Finland had never felt so happy in her life.
