For Alchemists, age difference meant nothing. Uncle Rory was actually now nearly 6 centuries old. If Alaric was in his 40's now ... it was still nothing compared to Uncle Rory ... Ha ha.
"Why are you smiling like that?" Alaric asked in confusion when he saw Aleksis nodding to herself while smiling broadly, "You are not worried that your fathers will oppose our relationship? Remember, they are my age. If I have a beautiful and young daughter like you, I also wouldn't want her to have anything to do with older men."
Aleksis fed Alaric again, this time with a slice of apple. She then shook her head, "Age is just a number, it's meaningless. If you don't believe me, you can ask Uncle Rory yourself. He will come to visit me in Singapore next week."
