Chapter 1665: Men speak with their fists

As the flying fortress settled into the quiet of the night, Alex and the others retired to their rooms, leaving Leon and Ariel to enjoy the serenity of the evening. The couple made their way to the top of one of the fortress's grand towers, a spot known for its breathtaking views of the surrounding floating mountains and the endless, star-speckled sky.

A small, elegant table had been set for two, adorned with a crisp white tablecloth and a centerpiece of glowing crystals that cast a warm, romantic light. A soft breeze carried the faint scent of jasmine from the nearby gardens, adding to the enchanting atmosphere.

The meal, prepared by the fortress staff, was nothing short of exquisite. Plates of seared salmon, roasted vegetables, and delicate pastries awaited them, along with a bottle of vintage wine that sparkled like liquid gold in the light.
