Rune's Confession

Rose batted her eyes and continued to stare at the man sitting beside her.  Inwardly, Rune weighed all the possibilities, but in the end, he came to a conclusion. He thought this was really the right time to spill everything and open up to Rose. The man took a deep breath.

Finally, Rune revealed that his family was actually a member of the Alchemist clan who lived forever.

"My family is immortal. I am included," said Rune with a serious tone of voice and facial expression. "I'm 44 now, but I still look like I'm 25. You've seen my sister too, haven't you? Aleksis is almost 50 and already has grandkids. And my mother..."

Rune smiled remembering his mother's beautiful face. He said, "My mother is 72 and just gave birth to a baby. When you meet her you will see that she still looks very young."
