Austin and Valerie were returning to the capital to celebrate his birthday.
They were only going to stay for a day before heading back to the academy.
In his past lives, Austin always had danger on his mind. He was constantly planning and training, always thinking ahead. He had no choice—he knew how strong his enemies were, and how weak he was in comparison. So, he worked harder than anyone else, just to make sure Valerie stayed safe.
But now… things were different. He knew what needed to be done, and he finally had the strength to do it. He wasn't careless, but for once, he wasn't thinking only about fighting.
Now, he wanted to live a calm and peaceful life with his family and his wife.
"Never thought I'd get rejected though," Austin sighed, thinking about the talk he had with his father-in-law about marriage.
