A/N: I will edit this chapter tonight so don't read it hahahaha!.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sigh!
Grandfather James released a frustrated sigh as he looked the long road ahead of him.
Currently, they were in a carriage headed to the castle for whatever business Grandfather James had with the king.
Grandfather James was the one controlling the carriage outside. Alex was inside with Lily sitting opposite each other.
"Hmm?, What is this small tattoo?" Alex asked as he pointed at a small ring like tattoo on Lily's neck. He just happened to see it by coincidence since lily always covers every part of her skin.
"Oh, this is a bride mark"Her face was red for some reason.
"Bride Mark?"
Lily then remembered that Alex had lost memory, so she explained:
"A bride mark is a mark is a mark imprinted on those who choose the path of marriage"She summarised.
"So, what about those witho.... Ewww!"Alex wanted to ask another question but, a strong foul smell invaded his nose. It smelled so bad that he felt like puking.
Lily noticed Alex's strange behaviour and asked:
"Master, are you ok?" She looked worried.
Alex was not able to hear Lily as he was trying his best to cover his nose
However, the foul-smell was getting stronger each passing second.
Lily was now sure that something was wrong with Alex so she knocked on the chariot board and alerted grandfather James.
Once he stopped the horses, Grandfather James entered the chariot and saw Alex kneeling on the base board of the chariot doing his best to cover his nose.
"What happened?" He asked looking at the panicking Lily.
"I do not know what happened, he just suddenly covered his nose and did not speak"
Grandfather James did not know what to do either. They both tried to speak with him but he did not give any response.
Lily got closer to him and touched his hand however, both she and grandfather James were surprised by his next action.
He removed both his hands from his face and hugged Lily...
"Eh?"
"what..?"
.......
Alex had been trying to cover his nose to prevent the foul smell from entering but it was all in vain as the smell kept on getting stronger each passing second.
He suddenly felt the chariot stop but he did not pay much attention to it and focused on covering his nose. What he did not notice was that the smell stopped getting stronger when they stopped.
He then saw grandfather James enter and hoped he had some kind of solution to it but, the old man was confused as well shattering his hopes.
After a 2minutes, he felt a smooth hand touching his but that wasn't the best part, the smell coming from the individual who had touched him was good and attractive to him.
Without putting much thought into it, he hugged the individual as he wanted to sniff her closer.
"eh?"
"Wha..?"
He heard two voices and he looked at the first one. "Sup, granpa"
The old man had a twitching smile on his face as he looked at him making him wonder why.
He then shifted his gaze from the old man and looked at the one he was hugging:
"Lily?" Her face was as red as a tomato and looked like she wanted to cry.
"I can explain"He spoke as he looked at grandfather James who was now opening and closing his fist.
"You see....." He then told them about why he covered his nose and his reason for suddenly hugging Lily.
"What, but I do not smell anything"Said grandfather James as he sniffed the air.
"Me either"Lily also could not smell anything.
"What?, but im sure I smell it although it is now weak"He spoke as he further buried his face into Lily's bosom.
Grandfather James' brows twitched seeing the boy who seemed to be taking advantage of the situation:
"Maybe we should just go back and get Hilda to look at you"
Alex shook his head and said:
"No, it is ok, let us just continue with our Journey. As long as Lily is here, I am sure that everything will be alright"
"Are you sure?"
"Do not worry gramps, I'll be fine"Alex assured them with a smile.
Sigh!
"Tell me if it happens again"
"Alright"
......
After that, grandfather James went back outside and soon, they continued their journey to the castle.
Alex removed his head from Lily's bosom and looked her directly in the eye. Her face was red and she was trying her best to avoid eye contact.
He raided his hand and started stroking her head and said:
"Don't worry, I'll marry you myself"
"What!?" Lily was surprised,
"I touched your private places so it's only right that I take responsibility",Alex spoke in a righteous tone with his hand on his chest.
"But that's...." Lily wanted to say something but Alex interruptedher:
"Don't think nonsense and just go with the flow. You told me that Mark is for those who chose the path of marriage and judging by the way you dress, I am able to tell that you value your body and don'want it to be touched or seen by other men other than your husband, so, as you are not in a relationship, I decided to take you hehe"
The reason Alex spoke like that was that, he was sure that the girl had fallen for him. He remembered the love meter which was over 80%.
---------------------------------------
A/N: If you forgot, then go back to chapter 5
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lily tried to tell him that it was okay and she didn't mind it but Alex already knew that she was lying.
Plus, Lily was not a bad girl for marriage. She was what one would call a wife material. His earthly mother was a Christian and she always advised him about how important it is to marry an untainted girl. She also told him the qualities she would want in a woman he marries and Lily right here was the embodiment of all the mentioned qualities, Pure, respectful, not lazy etc.
"Ok"Lily seemed to give up and nodded her head.
............
A/N: As i had mentioned in the chapter which i do not remember, The Geistar house is located somewhere a little bit far from other houses.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
After 20minutes of travelling, they finally reached their destination.
They alighted the Carriage and walked toward the entrance. Surprisingly or Unsurprisingly, the guards did not stop them.
As the trio walked into the castle, Alex could not help but be awed by the beauty of the castle.
After entering the gate, there is a path that leads to the castle's main entrance. Either sides of the pathway, is beautified by the neatly cut hedge and well trimmed lawn.
Grandfather James seemed to know the way as he led them to the throne room where the ruler of Helgum was.
They arrived in front of a giant closed golden door beside which, guards in golden amour were standing holding spears in their hands.
Grandfather James stopped in front of the guards and pointed at the one who was guarding the left side.
"Open the door punk"He commanded.
"Eh?" Alex was truly dumbfounded.
Is this old man trying to cause trouble!
He knew that speaking to the guards who guard an important place like the throne room in a disrespectful manner was punishable by death....
....or at least that's what he saw in movies and anime.
The guard ignored James.
Alex was about to tell grandfather James that they should leave
However, the old man's next move made his Jaw drop to the ground..
BAM!
He kicked the door.
