Reaching his room Adam was waiting together with Amy. While they were waiting, in the ball room...

Andrea who was talking to her brother and father was disrupted in the middle when Arthur called her. Turning towards him with a pout, she saw he escorting the prince and princess.

"Father, Brother, I will be leaving you for a bit to welcome them..."

Asil and Zech nodded. Seeing the royalties, even they couldn't offend them. Walking towards the trio, Andrea bowed politely before saying, "Greetings your highness, crown prince and your highness second princess..."

"Greetings Aunt.. It's been a while..." The one who said that was Rubelia. Every guest who came today was the most high level nobles. Seeing two royalties among them was a lucky sight.

Arthur led them to their seat before waiting for everyone to take their position. After making sure that everyone is here, he chimed the glass in his hand that was passed by a nearby maid.

"Everyone, First of all, let me thank you for coming here despite the busy schedules of the kingdom. Today is a very special day. There are multiple good announcements that i have to make today. First would be my second childrens birthday. So in order to introduce them to you, I welcome them on stage..."

Clap....Clap....

They clapped and the door behind the stage opened showing a handsome young man and a beautiful young lady. The lady was holding the young man's hands hugging tightly to her chest. Their features such as hair and eyes were of the same color and their face was too much of a show for others to see.

"I would like to introduce you to my son and future head of the Ducal house of Aldians, Adam Aves Aldians and My daughter, Amanda Aves Aldians..."

Clap....Clap....

Though some of them were clapping, others were mesmerized by them. In the case of some young ladies and some frustrated ladies, they never met such a handsome young man. It was like poison to them. If someone looks closely, they could see some of them drooling from their mouth.

In the case of some young men, they fell for the girl at first sight. No one dared to look at her in the wrong way as she was the daughter of a Duke and granddaughter of another Duke.

They walked forward and bowed together. In their clothes, they looked absolutely perfect. Adam was wearing a black suit with a golden lined design whereas Amy was wearing a white dress with a golden lined design.

"The second news is that my child Amanda Aves Aldians would be adopted to the house of Maleviers and change her name to Amanda von Malevier."

This time everyone was silent. He said it was all good news. So how is losing his daughter good news..? As they were thinking about it, he dropped another bomb,

"The third news is that, my son Adam Aves Aldians would be engaged to Three daughters of Duke house of Maleviers! They are Xesteria von Malevier, Elbereth von Malevier, and Amanda von Malevier...!"

This time there were loud cheers as the name was spoken and the girls stood behind Adam following the announcement. Though they were surprised by the involvement of Amanda, they still didn't say anything. That's why they decided to change her name anyways.

After announcing the engagement, Arthur said that the party started. In Orderly fashion, each noble house introduced themselves in front of Adam and Amy.

They still didn't address his strength as that will lead to complicated issues.

After a few hours, they both sighed and muttered together, "Hah...I am tired.."

Hearing this, a chuckling could be heard. Turning towards the source of the voice, they saw Raiser and Rubelia walking towards them. They both stood since the royalties are in a higher position than them.

"Let's introduce ourselves once again. I am the crown prince of Grania, Raiser and this is..."

"Rubelia , the second princess..."

They said with perfect etiquette. Adam and Amanda followed and introduced themselves. After talking for some time, it was announced that food will be served.

After the party concluded, no one stayed any further. Even Asil and his family left right after the party since the situation inside the kingdom can be a little rough sometimes. The last one to stay was The prince and the princess. A little while later, they left too. After everyone left, Arthur fell heavily on the couch and said,

"The party was successful and your engagement went okay too..."

"Yes father. It was a very wonderful party. Hope-"

As he was about to continue, he was stopped by his mother by saying, "Alright alright that's enough for today..! Go and sleep now dear...."

Arthur nodded with a confused face before leaving his room. Adam was about to leave as well when he heard his mother say as she was passing by him, "Treasure them alright...? And do not make them cry no matter who it is..." Saying so she left.

Adam was deeply contemplating her words. Today was a promised day. And he still hasn't got any words from Celeste. If she is going to be stubborn, then he will be the one to be the aggressive one...

When he looked around he couldn't see Amy, Xe's or Ellie in this room.

'They probably left to prepare themselves...'

He shook his head and smiled before leaving for his room.

Opening the door he saw four figures, most likely waiting for him inside the room. Although he knew the three would come, he never expected Celeste to come as well.

'If she's not going to ask, I will do it myself..!'

He decided and was about to ask her, when he felt someone hugging him. Looking down at the person, he saw Celeste hugging him tightly as if he would disappear if she didn't. When he touched her shoulder, he saw her trembling.

He knew it wasn't because of fear, but embarrassment. However he didn't give any mercy as he pushed her head from his chest and looked straight in her eyes and was about to ask when she touched his lip and closed it with her slender fingers.

Letting her talk, he decided to wait. Looking up at him with a bright red face she uttered angrily, "Even though you knew, you still made me do something so embarrassing you idiot.."

Though he wanted to retort, he decided to wait. After sighing and looking straight in his eyes, with her still red face she said it, "It's my...first time...falling..in love...so i don't know...what to say.... I will say what I feel..."

She then started breathing in and out several times before saying, "I want to be with you forever. I want to be someone who obeys you no matter what you say to me. I want to be special to you. I want to... I don't know..my chest feels like it will explode just thinking about it. However I am sure that this is my desire."

Adam was silent. But her words weren't finished,

"I am sorry for calling you idiot and jerk when it was all my fault. I shouldn't have been so stubborn."

This time he didn't allow her to say anything more as he hugged her tightly before saying, "You don't have to apologize, Celeste. Even after knowing how you felt, I too avoided you. I am sorry as well. I promise that, I will always love you no matter what happens to me in the future."

He stopped before continuing,

"I too want to make you mine only. I am very selfish. However, I will never ever make you sad anymore."

Celeste, hearing it felt her heart was dancing around. As they distanced themselves, he was about to ask her if she wanted to continue with them, when she said,

"I want to stay and be with everyone tonight and forever." Understanding her words, he smiled. She then continued.

"I've learned a lot from Amy... So i want to try it all..." Though her voice was small, everyone including Adam felt their body becoming hot. As the moonlight was still lighting the night, the second round of the party was about to start inside Adam's room.....
