A/N: Here it is! The final chapter. Hope you enjoy it! (I think I made it to fluffy...but yeah.)

It's already been a week since Nan last saw Karol. Business in the Hunting Blades seemed to be quiet recently and Nan was finished with her job. She already packed her stuff so she had nothing else to do for that day, save for one thing. She made her way towards Tison's room, knocked tree times and waited for a reply.

"Who is it?" a voice from inside said.

"It's Nan, Sir" she replied.

"Ah, Nan. Come in." Tison said. She did so. She entered and closed the door behind her. Tison's desk was as messy as ever. There were papers everywhere and obviously some unfinished work. Tison took over Clint's position when Clint decided to retire. Clint thought that it was about time that Tison took over. He knew that he'd be a great leader. He's currently in Keiv Moc, revisiting his reuined hometown.

Tison looked up from the paper that he was reading. "What is it?" he asked her.

"Umm... would it be alright if I took a few days off?" She asked nervously. Tison looked at her curiously. "Taking a vacation?" Nan didn't meet his eyes and nodded. "Wtih him?" he continued. Nan just blushed. Tison already knew the answer and was just teasing her. He knew that she wouldn't be with them sometime soon, so he tried to make as much memories with her while she was there. Nan has been with the Hunting Blades ever since she was young, and Tison was the one that took her in. She was like a little sister to him, and letting your sister go isn't really easy. Most of the guild members maybe loners, but they were still like family.

"Enjoy your vacation." Tison said plainly. Nan smiled and bowed her thanks. She passed by her room to grab her bag and blade, then made her way towards the Brave Vesperia HQ. She entered through the back door and used the key that Karol gave her. Karol knew that Nan was shy, and didn't like being seen around the HQ, so he gave her a key to the back door. 'I'll give him credit for that' she smiled and made her way towards his room. She sat down at Karol's bed and waited for him to arrive.

The sky was clear and Dhangrest was in sight. It was a wonderful day indeed. Ba'ul landed outside Dhangrest and let it's passengers get off. Kris headed over to Karol and asked "Would it be alright if we went ahead? I just want to go to some places". Karol just nodded. "Sure. In fact, Hey everyone! You're free to go for today. I'll take care of all the reports." Cheers and sighs of relief were heard everywhere as everyone went on their own ways.

While everyone was leaving, Maz approached Karol. "Th-thanks for allowing me to have this flower, boss!" He said. "It's no problem at all" Karol replied. "Just make sure you take care of it." Maz just nodded. "Hey Maz! let's get going". Kris called. Maz turned to Karol and bid his farewell.

The only one left in the ship was Karol. He looked up to Ba'ul and asked "Would it be alright if you dropped us of in Halure before you head back to Judith?" Ba'ul just nodded. "Thanks!" Karol got of the ship and headed towards the Brave Vesperia HQ. He was glad that Kris and Maz had their own thing to do. He wouldn't want Kris to know that Nan was at the HQ. Well, he hoped she was at the HQ.

Nan woke up to the sound of the door creaking. She slowly sat up and saw Karol enter.

"Welcome back." She muttered while rubbing her eyes.

"Looks like you made yourself at home" Karol said while leaning against the door, arms crossed.

"Yeah..." She yawned. 'Glad you actually showed up' She thought. Karol approached her and kissed her forhead then sat beside her. "You sleep well?" he asked, though not really interested in the answer. Nan just nodded and cuddled his shoulder.

"You know... we should get going if we wanna make it to Halure by night" Karol reminded.

"Huh? Oh... Sure" Nan said, still half asleep. Being a gentleman, Karol helped her up and grabbed her stuff.

"Ba'ul is already waiting for us outside Dahngrest. Let's not make him wait" Karol said.

"Ok" She replied and just followed him. On their way towards the exit, Nan's curiosity got the best of her. A vacation would be nice, but it was so sudden. She looked at Karol, who was grinning like a mad man for some she ask him about this trip? She ended up deciding to ask him later.

They both got on the ship and Ba'ul took off. It took a few hours to get to Halure, so they still had time in the ship. To pass time, Nan watched the beautiful sunset, thinking of what they would do in Halure. It's been a while since she's been there and she really misses that place. I mean, who wouldn't miss such a lovely town?

As darkness took over the skies, Nan felt a pair of arms around her waist and a chin on her shoulder. "You seemed troubled. What's bothering you?" Karol started.

"Not really troubled. Just curious" Nan replied.

"About what?" Karol asked as he raised his head from her shoulder.

"Why the sudden trip to Halure?" She asked.

"Hm? Just that?" Karol said and just laughed.

"It was a serious question you know...." Nan said while she turned to face him.

"Do I need a reason?" Karol said with a smile.

"I guess not..." She replied.

They just stayed there and watched as the Halure Tree came into view. It was already nightime and the view was wonderful. The lights of the houses surrounding the Halure Tree illuminated the Tree itself. Ba'ul dropped them of outside and left for Judith. Wherever she may then made their way towards the inn and headed for the front desk.

"Good evening sir, would you be staying the night?" the clerk said.

"Oh, I reserved a room. Capel's the name" Karol said.

"Ah! Mr. Capel. This way please." the clerk said and pointed them towards the end of the hall.

"Thank you" Said Karol.

The two then made their way towards the room. Nan looked a Karol and said "A reservation? What for? The Inn always has rooms."

"Yeah but this room isn't always available." Karol said with a smirk.

"What do you mean?" Nan asked.

"Well I guess you'll just have to see." Karol said as he opened the door.

Nan looked in amazement. It was a big suite with a wonderful view of the Halure Tree. She placed her stuff on the bed and made her way towards the balcony. She looked up to see the wonderful Halure Tree. It was in full bloom and the flowers were wonderful. "Beautiful...." Nan said, still in a daze. Karol took out a flower and made his way towards Nan.

"Wanna see a flower that can compete with that beauty?" Karol said. Curious, Nan turned around only to see a flower held out in front of her. She was staring at the flower. He was right, It's beauty rivals that fo Halure's!

"A-an Aer Sibol! It's been years since I last saw one... When did you?? How did you??" She said as she took the flower that had blue and green leaves and aquamarine petals. She then touched the leaves on her hair. They were the same. Her eyes started tearing up and hugged Karol. "Y-you remembered... thank you..." She sobbed. Karol just hugged her back. "You're welcome. We still have a whole day tommorow, we should go get some sleep" Karol said as he led her to the bed

Nan woke up to the rays of light that hit her eyes and slowly opened. Wrapped around in Karol's arms,If she wanted to get up, that would mean waking him up. Nan didn't have the heart to wake him up yet. This gave her time to think. 'First, the trip to Halure, then the suite, and now the flower. Oh Karol... what are you up to?' she thought with a smile as she stroked Karol's cheek. She decided to relax and just go back to sleep.

They woke up sometime later and went to the tree on the afternoon. There was a spot in the back of Halure Tree that was reserved for picnics. It seemed like they were the only ones there at that time. Lucky for Karol.

They just sat there, ate and chat. They talked about what happened during the week Karol was on a mission and what's up with their guilds. Speaking of guilds...

"Umm... Nan, Would you be willing to...um.... join my guild?" Karol stuttered. Nan nearly choked on her sandwich in surprise and looked at him.

"Karol, you do know that you're not allowed to be in two guilds at the same time right? and why would you want me to join your guild anyway?" She said.

"Well... you see..." Karol murmured and got up. He walked towards Nan and pulled her up. He grabbed a small velvet box from his pocket and then went down on one knee. Nan then understood what was happening. It all added up. The reason for the whole trip, the reason for the question. Nan couldn't believe it. Will he really...?

"I don't wanna make you wait any longer. You've always been there for me, ever since we were young. You were the one that took me in when I had nowhere else to go. You are the only one...for ...will you marry me?" He did it. He said it. He opened the case containing a silver band with a blue gem. Now, he looked at her anxiously. Nan's eyes were tearing up. It's the second time in this trip that Karol made her cry, but these were tears of joy. Nan suddenly jumped at Karol

"Yes! Yes Karol, I will!" She said while sobbing. She was so happy, the day has finally come. Karol was still in shock. "You will?!" He asked, just to make sure. Nan just nodded on his chest. "Thank you Nan! I promise, I'll take very good care of you" He said as he placed the on her finger and stood up to give her a passionate kiss.
