As they were preparing to leave the house, Louis and Beatrice went to meet Viscount Anzi.

Viscount Anzi's expression was somewhat complicated:

"Although I had guessed that this time a significant person was visiting, I didn't expect it to be the two of you, Your Highnesses."

Louis smiled and said:

"Please keep our trip this time confidential."

Viscount Anzi nodded.

He had vaguely heard that the princess was planning a covert visit to the northern territory, but wasn't sure where they would go first.

Seeing the two of them all of a sudden truly gave him a shock.

Louis briefly mentioned the matters concerning "The Door in the Picture" and "The Love of a Lifetime."

Since Viscount Anzi was directly involved, it was fine to tell him.

Louis also carried a bit of mischievous intent, wanting to see what expression Viscount Anzi would show upon learning about "The Door in the Picture" and "The Love of a Lifetime."

As it turned out, his expression was even more amusing than expected.

Especially when he learned that "The Love of a Lifetime" was already damaged; the expression on his face could literally be made into a meme.

He was just short of crying, shouting, and jumping on the spot.

"Your Highness Louis, next time don't specifically tell me things like this, my heart can't handle it."

...

There was still a little time left in the afternoon when they left.

Beatrice asked Louis what plans he had next.

Louis looked at her and said:

"How about taking a hot air balloon ride with me? After all, this is the Northern Flower City."

Beatrice agreed without a second thought.

Although she didn't know what a hot air balloon was, since Louis suggested it, she went along with it.

The hot air balloon was something Louis had idly requested the chamber of commerce to help make.

Usually, it was kept in a dimensional bag.

He had made quite a few of these fun and interesting little things.

Of course, he had never flown a hot air balloon, but that didn't stop him from using it.

Anyway, in the Armed Mode - Dragon Liberation Form, he himself possessed excellent flying abilities.

Even if they fell halfway, it wouldn't be a problem.

After he lit the hot air balloon, amidst Beatrice's exclamations, the two slowly took to the air.

It was still snowing in the northern region.

This place was close to the Fallen Star Sea, where sea breezes carried moisture, resulting in a heavy snowfall here, truly a flurry of large snowflakes.

Louis wrapped a scarf around Beatrice and looked at her, saying:

"The color and style suit you perfectly."

The fabric went without saying, as soon as you touched it, you could feel the utmost comfort.

Beatrice said softly:

"Did you specifically have someone make this scarf?"

Louis said in surprise:

"You could tell?"

Beatrice gave a light hum:

"After all, I'm a princess. I can still recognize what high-end private workshops' works look like in the capital."

Louis circled around and hugged her from behind, saying:

"You know, Mayer Clothing is expanding its business, many skilled craftsmen from custom shops we couldn't compete with before, have now joined my circle."

Beatrice sighed: "I used to think 400,000 Gold Coins was a lot, but now you casually bring out a business that's worth more than 400,000."

Louis nodded and chuckled lightly:

"More and more talented people in the industry are joining Mayer Clothing, so the development of many new products can be put on the agenda."

"Before coming here, knowing that it was still snowing in the north, I commissioned one just for you."

He played with Beatrice's golden hair with his fingers and gave a light kiss, saying:

"Don't you like it?"

Beatrice's face was flushed.

Logically, she was someone who was skilled at controlling her emotions.

But today, in front of Louis, she truly found it hard to hide her emotions.

She even found herself a reason in her heart.

It must be the influence of "The Love of a Lifetime" that hasn't yet worn off, otherwise why would she feel so restless, so...

wanting to embrace him.

The snowflakes were blown into the basket of the hot air balloon, falling on them.

Suddenly, his eyes brightened.

On the snow-covered ground, a forest caught his attention:

"Beatrice, look at that forest."

Beatrice followed Louis's finger and looked toward the forest.

She instinctively covered her mouth.

In the white snowy forest, there was an open clearing.

The edge of the clearing where no trees grew outlined a heart shape.

"It seems we're not the only ones enjoying the romance."

Louis rubbed his eyes and said instinctively:

"This direction... seems a bit off."

This forest was definitely not naturally grown; it was clearly the result of someone's intentional management.

"Do you want to check it out?"

Beatrice looked at Louis and asked.

Louis nodded, and amidst Beatrice's exclamation, he picked her up and jumped directly.

The unfolded dragon wings sliced through the air, reaching the surrounding forest in a very short time.

Beatrice knocked on the trees and said:

"Bitpara trees, unique to the northern territory, can confirm that this forest was deliberately planted by someone, truly romantic."

Louis curiously asked, "Can you tell by the type of tree?"

Beatrice nodded and said:

"Bitpara trees are not common, didn't you notice that this forest only has this type of tree?"

Louis said, "Then why do you say it's romantic?"

"These trees grow very slowly, and the longest-lived Bitpara tree so far is over 6,000 years old."

"Because the tree wood is extremely hard, it's not easy for ordinary craftsmen to chop it down."

"Do you remember the wooden sword you used when you first started training?"

Louis nodded, "Was it made from the branches of these trees?"

Beatrice confirmed it.

The wooden sword Louis used at that time was often subjected to his rough handling.
