“Where do you even buy a castle? It’s not like real estate,” Rudrick asked, holding Arwen’s hand.
It was different from his past life. He couldn’t just ask for castle listings. Their current house had been Lassiel’s find.
“Hmm, well…”
Arwen hesitated, then sighed.
After a year, Rudrick could read her mind.
“You didn’t think this through, did you?”
“Hee hee…”
Arwen giggled, leaning on his shoulder.
“It’s nice to be out, isn’t it?”
“The woman in full sun protection gear is not the Arwen I know.”
“It’s instinct. Overcoming my weakness doesn’t mean I enjoy sunlight.”
“Sure.”
Rudrick shook his head, remembering the ordeal of getting her outside.
He had to finish this today. He usually went on dates with Arwen after sunset. If he didn’t resolve this now, he’d have to go through this again.
“Whatever. Let’s look around. We can build one.”
“That’s not a bad idea. We have the money.”
“Okay. Let’s build one.”
“Alright. We need to find a location. I thought we were just going for a walk.”
“Let’s get this over with.”
Rudrick activated a teleportation spell.
Arwen didn’t resist, and they vanished.
They reappeared in a familiar place.
“This is…”
“My mother’s territory.”
It was Weiss County.
Arwen had been here a few times.
It was… empty.
Aside from wheat fields, there wasn’t much.
It was idyllic, but there was a problem.
“Are you planning to build it… here?”
“Why? Don’t you like it?”
“It’s not that, but… it’s close to your parents’ house.”
“That’s true.”
“It’s a bit… much.”
It was carefully worded.
It had been a year since their marriage. Their relationship with his parents was still awkward, especially after the wedding incident.
‘I never thought I’d have a dragon for a daughter-in-law,’ his mother had said.
She’d meant Sylphia, but a dragon and a True Ancestor were the same.
It was awkward.
“I understand. I don’t necessarily want to build it here. There’s just not much else around. My mother would object anyway. She’d say it’s disruptive.”
“That’s a relief.”
Arwen sighed.
She didn’t want to run into his parents every time they visited.
She levitated them into the air.
“That spot looks good.”
She pointed to a clearing in the forest. It was dark, due to the thick canopy.
“A vampire’s taste, as always.”
“It’s my nature. Instinct.”
“That’s your excuse for everything.”
Rudrick grumbled.
He knew the spot. It was known for monster sightings.
He wasn’t sure if he should be impressed or if she’d chosen it because of its reputation. He nodded.
“That forest is infested with monsters… but I guess it doesn’t matter.”
“Monsters are no problem. I’ll protect my husband.”
Arwen tried to sound elegant, like a romance novel character.
He didn’t point out that he could handle the monsters.
She was his wife.
“But if we build it there, materials and workers will be a problem.”
“I’ll find a merchant company. We can hire extra mercenaries.”
“What about workers? There are monsters there.”
“Don’t worry.”
Arwen grinned.
Her wings unfurled and her eyes glowed crimson.
Soon darkness began to spread everywhere.
A woman appeared from the shadows and bowed.
“My lady, you summoned me?”
“I’m building a vacation home. An ancient castle.”
“Of course.”
“I’ll give you a week. Find a merchant company. And build a cabin for us.”
The woman, with red eyes and fangs, was a vampire.
She bowed and vanished.
“What was that?”
“My butler. I have thousands of servants. Let’s kill some time.”
He was about to protest about the one-week deadline, then he shook his head.
“Arwen.”
“What is it?”
“If we build a new one, it won’t be ancient, will it?”
Arwen puffed out her cheeks.
