"Why is it raining? The weather is nice today!"

Klein pulled Elizabeth under the eaves, and the drizzle quickly dissipated.

"Why is there still some fragrance, a light and refreshing fragrance, just like the one I encountered in the Goddess Church."

"Perhaps this is a gift from the goddess to her believers. Do you feel your soul has been cleansed and is now a little quieter and more peaceful?" Klein smiled, but only he knew what he was laughing at.

"Praise the Goddess. Thank you for bringing you back to me. Thank you for answering my prayers, giving me hope, and allowing me to receive the greatest gift."

Looking at Elizabeth praying devoutly before him, Klein felt a tinge of hidden guilt for some reason. After she finished and raised her head, he gave her a quick kiss.

Elizabeth felt the touch on her lips, and looked at the person in front of her, who was also stunned. Her cheeks quickly turned red and she covered her face with her hands and buried her head in the chest of the person in front of her.

Passersby were all sighing at this ordinary young man, who looked like he had read some books. He was on the peak of his life right after he came out. Is this what the ladies like now?

"Let's go take a break. I know there's a nice coffee shop by the river."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

Klein took Elizabeth to a casual cafe by the river and chose a quiet spot. The parasol above just blocked the sunlight, and the plants along the guardrail did not block the view of the two banks of the river.

He and the waiter ordered some snacks and the newly launched flower-flavored mixed juice, looked at Elizabeth and explained, "Coffee is too bitter and it's not suitable for us now." Of course, sweet iced tea is also good, they will talk about it in the future.

After saying that, he leaned the chair back so that the two of them could sit together and look at the scenery outside.

The originally separate chairs had somehow been put together to form a double chair, and the waiter who came up to serve the dishes didn't find it strange.

Klein hugged Elizabeth and let her lean against him. Compared to when they first met, her face showed fewer signs of aging.

"Don't you want to know where I've been all these years?"

"If you want to tell me, just tell me directly. There's no need for me to ask. It will affect our relationship. I'm no longer the little girl who blindly worshipped you back then. Just remember to tell me before you leave next time."

"No, the matter has been resolved. We will be together in the future. You are no different now than when we first met. You still give me a lovely and close feeling."

Elizabeth blushed again and patted Klein's chest. "You're saying that just to make me happy, right? I already know I'm 36 and past the age of being spoiled. But I really like it when you say that."

"I'm sorry I made you waste them."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. It's just a big deal. Do you still remember Selina Wood?"

Elizabeth was already pressed against him. Klein searched his memory and found that it was the girl who had done magic mirror divination with him. Fortunately, he had saved her.

"Is she the companion you played magic mirror divination with? I remember she seemed to have a problem and was targeted by the devil."

"Yes, it was you who saved her back then. She later married a wealthy businessman, gave birth to four boys and a girl, and is now pregnant again. Otherwise, she would have come to see Melissa too. It's a pity that I'm already very old, and I don't know if I can still do it!"

"Just be happy, cherish your simple life. Don't worry, my wife, if you want, I will help you, there will be no accidents, don't forget that I am a big figure in the world of occultism."

Elizabeth raised her head and gave Klein a helpless expression, still retaining some of her youthful playfulness. "We're only engaged, and we don't know what Mom and Dad think yet. Don't be too happy."

"Your body has betrayed you, dear. I didn't expect you to be a little bit arrogant. You can express it to me later."

Elizabeth, who was already sitting on him, raised her head shyly, just in time to meet his lips. She hugged Klein tightly with both hands, and the two of them kissed and sucked each other in a state of complete forgetfulness.

The waiter put down the glass, poured the juice, said "Enjoy your meal," and left. The other guests were also discussing some of Backlund's recent events.

"I heard that the Southern Continent speculator Dawn Dantes, because of his contributions in helping Loen seize colonies and assisting in the elimination of pagans from the Southern Continent, the king wants to grant him the title of Duke, and the parliament has no objections. This guy has actually become a great noble. I even had a drink with him back then."

"What's this? He's about to snatch Audrey, our Backlund's jewel. She's almost 40, but she looks no different than she did in her twenties, still as radiant and stunningly beautiful. For so many years, countless princes and talented young men have courted her, but none have been able to win her heart. To think that this nearly 60-year-old old man will snatch her away is unacceptable. I can't accept this. The thought of such a beautiful and mature Audrey being held captive by an old man doesn't seem to last much longer. It just so happens that Audrey will inherit a large inheritance and a title, and with her, she'll be the richest woman in all of Loen. Then everyone's chance will come. Having tasted love, she'll pursue again."

"It's okay, not as serious as you say. Dawn looks to be in his forties. Miss Audrey is just close to Dantes and occasionally comes to his house... Comes to his house, damn, I'm also broken."

The two poured out the coffee in the cup and started drinking.

"Come to think of it, none of them are as good as Gehrman Sparrow. This guy actually received pardon from the churches and became a favored one of the Church of Fools. He actually lived up to the book's description, with three female pirate generals and a small-time writer as his henchman. I wonder if the mysterious queen has fallen victim to his murderous hand. Storm above, strike him with lightning."

"He recently came to Loen, bringing his three female pirate generals for vacation. I heard someone saw them. The one with purple eyes and glasses has an outstanding temperament. Although her appearance is a little less attractive, she is still a beauty. Another has brown hair, is intelligent and beautiful, but her eyes are a little cold. The third is extremely beautiful and charming, and you can't take your eyes off her."

"Of course Star Queen, Ice Queen, and Queen of Disease are great. Remember to ask me next time. You must have watched them secretly, otherwise how could you explain it so clearly."

 "Those detective couples are getting married too. This series has been going on for so long, and we can finally see lovers finally get married."

"Yes, it's been almost twenty years since we started chasing this story. Sherlock is finally going to marry Sharon. I hope they can have a little detective soon so that this story won't end."

"I'm thinking about Miss Audrey again. I can't take it anymore. I'm so angry. I want to beat Dantes up."

...

Unfazed by the chatter around them, Klein and Elizabeth leaned back in a chair, embracing each other passionately. Klein's hand subconsciously reached inside her blue dress. Elizabeth came to her senses, parted her lips, pulled the restless hand out, and fastened the button.

It would be so embarrassing if I were seen with so many people here. I didn't expect that the person laughing in front of me would be so bold.

"If you want, you can do it tonight. There are too many people here. I'd be mortified if someone saw me." Elizabeth blushed and quickly buried herself in Klein's arms, wondering what she was talking about. "How are you so skilled? You actually know all those places there."

"Maybe it's just that love is deep and deep. Did Elizabeth secretly read those books or seek comfort from others?"

Klein, who was being beaten by small fists, was pressed against the top of Elizabeth's head.

"Don't talk nonsense. I'm angry. I haven't had sex with anyone yet, but I have read some books and paintings."

"Neither did I, Klein Moretti. I was also peeking at the little book like you." What did what German, Charlotte, Merlin, and Zhou Mingrui do to me, Klein?

"Are you teasing me on purpose? You're destroying the image of a gentleman you hold in my heart."

"You're an old married couple, why are you still so reserved?"

The two people who were flirting with each other attracted the attention of the two people who had just been talking, and they couldn't help but sigh when they saw the young and proud figure.

"Young people nowadays learn to rise to the top in one step when they first come out."

"Maybe he is Julien? Don't worry, the more sweetness there is now, the more hatred there will be later."
