Chapter 165

“Lex, this is Cloudstrand Heaven, the go–to spot for anything custom–made,” Nelson explained.

“If you’ve got the cash, there’s nothing you can’t get here. Getting a ring made? That’s child’s play. Come on, Lex, stick with me, I’ll show you around,” he added.

Lexie trailed after Nelson, her eyes wide with curiosity as she took in everything around her.

Cloudstrand Heaven was perched so high above that everything here felt like a dream, straight out of a fairy tale.

Lexie was so dazzled by it all that she couldn’t help but reach out and gently touch a flower beside her.

As soon as her fingers brushed the petals, the flower trembled slightly, then burst into a dazzling glow.

Lexie’s eyes went wide in shock, staring at the scene in disbelief.

“Holy crap, these flowers actually glow!” she blurted out.

Nelson, who’d been keeping a close eye on her, couldn’t help but grin, clearly amused by her surprise.

“Lex, these flowers are specially cultivated in labs just for decoration,” he explained.

“They last a long time and look really cool and unusual. That’s one of the things that makes Cloudstrand Heaven stand out,” he added.

“Really? Flowers that glow, it’s so fascinating,” Lexie said, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

She kept glancing around at the flowers, her face lit up with curiosity.

As Nelson led her to the custom ring section, they were greeted by a striking blond guy in a bright red robe.

On him, it somehow–gave off a kind of moody beauty.

Lexie couldn’t help giving him a curious once–over, his whole look was weirdly mismatched but somehow worked. Just as she was sizing him up, Nelson pointed at the guy and introduced him gently.

“Lex, this is Reno. He’s our head jewelry designer here at Cloudstrand Heaven, and also the most famous mecha designer in all of Aetherion Interstellar Zone,” Nelson said.

“His designs are one–of–a–kind, mixing the whole vibe of Aetherion Interstellar Zone. Every piece is seriously jaw–dropping, like a real work of art.”

Lex, just tell Reno what you’re thinking. He can design the perfect ring for you,” Nelson said with a reassuring smile.

Lexie glanced up at Reno, the beastman designer Nelson had just introduced.

After a brief moment of thought, Lexie decided, ‘No fancy gems or anything… I just want a simple band. That feels right.

But on the inside of the ring, she asked for her name and Nelson’s to be engraved. Even a plain ring can be special if it has our names inside, Lexie thought, feeling a little spark of excitement.

Lexie wasn’t really sure what material would be best for a ring. I honestly have no idea what works for rings. Lexie thought, a little embarrassed.

She went with Reno’s suggestion and chose Telakaya stone for the ring. Lexie watched as Reno measured Nelson’s finger

size, then had him whip up the ring in no time.

Reno was ridiculously fast at making rings, like, crazy fast.

In just a few moments, he handed the finished ring to Lexie, and it was like he was casting a spell right in front of her.

Before Lexie could even blink, the ring was done.

Lexie slid the ring onto Nelson’s finger herself, then looked over at Reno and asked about the price.

“Reno, how much does it cost to design this ring? Let me pay you now,” she said.

“I don’t want any money,” Reno replied.

“For free?” Lexie blinked in surprise.

Seeing Lexie’s surprise, Reno spoke softly, his tone gentle.

“Your Highness, you’re Lex, aren’t you?” Reno said.

“Me? Your Highness?” Lexie blinked, completely thrown off.

Honestly, being called ‘Your Highness‘ like that totally stunned Lexie.

“Lex, you’re the only female so calling you ‘Your Highness‘ just feels right,” Reno explained, a hint of respect in his voice.

‘I don’t want your money, Lex. What I really want is to join your bodyguard team, be part of your inner circle,” Reno said earnestly.

‘Prince Nelson just told you, I’m the top mecha designer in all of Aetherion Interstellar Zone,” Reno added, a touch of pride in his tone.

‘If you let me join, I’d be a huge asset to you,” Reno insisted, his eyes shining with determination.

‘Please, Lex, I’m begging you, let me be part of your team!” Reno pleaded, hope written all over his face.

With her memory wiped and no idea about her past, Lexie instinctively turned to Nelson for guidance.

Lex, you can accept Reno’s request. He’s really capable, and his family background is very distinguished,” Nelson said.

If you let him join your bodyguard team, it’ll only benefit you, there’s no downside at all,” Nelson added reassuringly.

‘Okay, sure! But Reno, if you want to join my bodyguard team, what kind of salary are you expecting?

Just a heads up. I’m kinda broke, Lexie admitted, feeling a bit awkward.

Reno looked genuinely surprised for a moment, then broke into a grin.

Lex, to be real with you, even if we threw money at it and fought our way in, there’s just no chance of landing a spot as your bodyguard, Reno said, his voice earnest.

“When everyone found out who you really were, I tried every connection I had, called in every favor, just to get close.

“But no matter how many times I sent in my info, I got shot down instantly,

“Honestly, if I hadn’t bumped into you today, with my background, I wouldn’t even make the cut for a regular palace guard,

“Getting to be your bodyguard now? I’m so thrilled I can’t even believe it. Asking for a salary? No way, I wouldn’t dream of it!” Reno continued, his eyes shining with excitement.

“But seriously, if you’re working for me and not getting paid, what are you after?” Lexie asked, genuinely curious.

“What am I after? Oh, trust me, I’ve got plenty of reasons. You’ll figure it out soon enough, Lex. Anyway, it’s your date with Nelson, so I’ll leave you two to it,” Reno said with a playful grin.

“Alright then! See you, Reno,” Lexie said, giving him a cheerful wave.

“Take care, Lex,” Reno replied, flashing her a respectful smile.

After giving Lexie a respectful bow, Reno watched her leave with Nelson. The second they were out of sight, his calm, gentlemanly facade totally crumbled, he bounced around his workshop like a hyperactive monkey, whooping and hollering in front of everyone, completely losing his cool.

But the moment his wild celebration started drawing stares, Reno snapped right back into his signature cool–and–moody vibe, acting like he’d never lost his chill as he got back to work.

After the ring was done, Nelson whisked Lexie off to somewhere even more magical, a sky castle, floating above the clouds.

This castle was built with jaw–dropping extravagance, like a palace straight out of a fantasy realm. Thanks to all the crystal- clear materials, sunlight danced through every surface, making the whole place shimmer like a sparkling jewel nestled in the blue sky and fluffy clouds.

Every inch of the castle screamed luxury and elegance, making it impossible not to be amazed.

Lexie looked up at the castle, her eyes shining with wonder and curiosity.

She peeked down below, unable to wrap her head around how this incredible castle was just floating up here in the sky.

‘Man, this place is insanely gorgeous, absolutely breathtaking,‘ Lexie thought, her heart racing with excitement.
