3117 Building Up (Part 1)
"It is a big deal to me to me." Kamila nuzzled her face on his shoulder. "Thank you. Do you have any other surprise up your sleeve?"
"Just one." Lith took the Tuner he had given her as a betrothal gift out of his pocket dimension.
Unlike the other Tuners he had crafted, the betrothal gift had several empty slots for songs that he would add as their relationship progressed.
"I know this isn't a romantic song, but this is how you make me feel." Lith conjured a Hush zone to not bother people and activated it.
The notes of Unbeatable by Skillset broke the silence of the night, making Kamila's eyes go wide in stunned surprise. It was clearly a rock song and she found it hard to believe Lith would play something like that on a date.
'It doesn't matter. As he always says, when you're happy you enjoy the music, but when you are sad, you understand the lyrics.' She thought, taking his hand and using a mind link to make up for her limited grasp on the nuances of the English language.
Once the song was over and she understood its meaning, she went from confused to flattered.
"Really? This is how I make you feel?" She giggled.
"Yes. When I'm facing a tough opponent or some shit happens because of my undead nature, just reminding myself about you gives me strength." Lith was referring to the accident with the blue flames and the attack he had suffered from the wandering souls.
"I know that I can still die like anyone else, but you do make me feel invincible."
Kamila said nothing, just hugging him tight and emitting a purring sound. Sure, Unbeatable wasn't a love song, but it was his love song to her.
It made even noisy music a priceless gift and the highlight of their date to her.
"I'm a bit tired." She said after cuddling for a while. "If we don't get back to the hotel now, I'm afraid you'll have to carry me in my sleep."
"Steps or flight?"
"Steps, please. I don't want the wind to dispel this warmth." She buried her face in his chest to emphasize the concept.
Lith brought them straight in front of the Crystal Cauldron and from there they walked arm in arm to the fourth floor. The only sour note was that Vonam accompanied them.
"I'm sorry for the intrusion, but I wanted to show you your room personally." He brought them in front of a large hardwood double door tagged with the words: Magus Honeymoon Suite.
"It was supposed to be Royal, but since you've visited our establishment first, we have renamed it after you. Please, enjoy your stay." The concierge handed them a key with a green mana crystal, gave them a deep bow, and left as fast as decorum allowed him to.
"Good gods!" Kamila said upon opening the doors. "This place is much more romantic than the Flying Griffon resort."
The suite was as big as an apartment, with a spacious living room, two bathrooms, and a huge bedroom.
Every centimeter of the floor and furniture was covered in red rose petals. Trays of different kinds of chocolates arranged in a heart shape were placed at the four corners of every room and in the middle of the bed.
A bottle of red wine was kept fresh by a container enchanted with water magic and two crystal glasses sat nearby, their top covered by silk heart-folded napkins to keep the dust out.
