From an outsiders perspective, the budding relationship between Arthur and Andrea was a breath of fresh air.
The less talented, but stronger third born son of the Clan Leader, and the most talented young lady of their generation.
Arthur was stronger, and could defeat most people his own age through martial arts or through specialised tactics and strategies, which he had formed over a thousand years of lifetime.
He knew the Fae that his enemies were using better than they did themselves. He knew what Fae best complimented his own, and what their weaknesses were. He could maximise the capabilities of his own Fae, by supplementing them with martial arts, or complimentary fae.
He was a genius at combat, that much was certain,
On the other hand, Andrea was the most talented young woman in their generation.
Possessing one of the Thirty Three Sovereign Boundary Physiques, the Boundless Forest Yearning, not only was her potential unfathomable to the average Fae Master, but her strength had exceeded the vast majority of her generation as well.
And, unaware to them, she would keep growing stronger as the days turned to weeks. And weeks to months.
If nothing bad happened during her lifetime, she would become a Rank 5 Fae Master.
.... Perhaps even a Fae Immortal, some Elders thought.
Tying such a strong power back to the Clan through Arthur, was something that all the Elders indorsed. Some of the other Elders, like Elder Sagan thought perhaps his grandson would be able to catch Andrea's eye, but Arthur was the next best thing.
He was handsome, aloof, strong, yet possessed an unbreakable connection to the Kovacs Clan.
His Father was the Clan Leader, and his older brother would be the next Clan Leader.
So long as Andrea fell in love with Arthur, and perhaps even had a child together, the future of their Clan would be assured.
Even if she went off and joined a nearby Sect, the blood ties she would've created would lay the foundations for the Kovacs Clan for several more generations.
Most understood the importance of their relationship, and while Andrea's parents mostly tried to push back topics such as marriage and whatnot, it was plain as the eye could see, that the two of them were truly smitten with each other.
The normally, distant, slightly aloof Arthur would become as soft as melted butter when he was around Andrea. A far cry from the cold, and calculating Arthur that he was during battle.
Seeing the raven haired young man, walk, arms locked with the green haired young woman, some of the older mortals sighed, thinking about the perfection of this matchup.
The pair were walking slowly, extremely close together.
Under the faint light of candle fae, and the brightly glistening full moon hanging in the night sky, it was a perfect time for romance.
The pair walked towards Andrea's house and paused for a moment before Andrea lifted her head towards Arthur. Her eyes glistening slightly, and her cheeks slightly red as she bit her bottom lip.
"Um.... Arthur?".
The thousand year old demon smiled sweetly, tucking a loose strand of hair behind Andrea's ear. The distance between them was almost non-existent, and Arthur could feel the heat radiating from Andrea's face.
"Yes, Andrea?".
His tone was soft, and somewhat quiet. Andrea had never seen Arthur act this way in front of anyone else other than her before. Even when some of the other girls in her class wanted to try and chat to Arthur, he would always remain distant, as if he was trying to stay away from everyone.
It caused her heart to beat even quicker than before.
The young girl bit her bottom lip, before lifting her head again and staring directly into Arthur's eyes.
Those normally, cold, unfathomable eyes of his..... could show this much emotion, it almost caused her to lose herself in them.
She took in a deep breath.
"Arthur, I.... I don't want to go home tonight....".
Arthur's eyes widened slightly and his breath hitched, but he smiled slightly before pulling her into his embrace.
"Are you sure? I don't want you to force yourself or anything....".
The girl furiously shook her head.
Her confident side came bursting out, as a resolute expression rose up on her face.
"I'm sure. I want you Arthur.... to be my-".
Arthur stopped her mid-sentence, catching her lips in his own.
It only lasted just a few seconds, but to Andrea.... it felt like several lifetimes.
The warmth of his body, the gentleness of his touch....
She was the only one in the world whom he would show this side of him too. Not even his brothers, would see such a tender, and gentle Arthur....
Arthur and Andrea left the front of her house, heading towards the Clan Leaders residence instead.
Arthur wanted this to be perfect, no screwups and no interruptions. Heading towards old man Wagner's place might cause something to go wrong, and ruin the moment.
If he could go to the Clan Leader's residence, it wouldn't matter and he could make sure than no-one would come and look for him. His Father might encourage him, and give him some sort of tip or something...
He rolled his eyes slightly and entered the Clan Leaders residence, ignoring the slight nod from the guards, who were stationed at the front gate.
Moving through the corridors, Arthur let out a small sigh as he didn't walk past a single servant, opening the door open for Andrea, before closing it behind him and locking it.
The green haired girl turned red as Arthur turned the latch on his door, and sat down on Arthur's bed, her arms at her sides.
Andrea noticed Arthur walk towards her and sit down next to her. The two shared another passionate, yet slightly inexperienced kiss before Arthur smiled at her.
The girl tilted her head slightly and frowned before letting out a small yelp as Arthur lifted her up and placed her on his lap. Her face, facing directly towards Arthur's, allowing her to wrap her arms around his neck, and him on her hips.
Andrea's face turned red, but it didn't suppress her emotions as she moved her head closer towards Arthur, enjoying the feeling of his touch.
The pair enjoyed the presence of each other, one revelling in the literal torrent of unfamiliar and passionate emotions she was currently feeling, while the other one simply enjoyed the touch of a woman for the first time in several decades.
Being the more.... experienced partner, Arthur knew exactly when to be gentle, and exactly when it was too much for someone like Andrea.
The pain only lasted for a little while, before the two intertwined in a passionate embrace.....
To his Arthur's defense though, the last thing he wanted to do to the Boundless Forest Yearning, was to cause it pain.
