Chapter 644: The First Signs Of A Raging Storm

When Ethan arrived at the Palace, he saw the two girls sitting at the dining table, who were just about to have lunch.

The moment he entered the room, both of their gazes landed on his body.

Joanne rolled her eyes at him, while Princess Ramona looked at him with a sweet smile on her face.

For a brief moment, Sebastian, and Ethan's Other Half thought that the room brightened a bit after seeing the princess' smile.

Seeing her smile also lifted Ethan's spirits, especially after his encounter with the Mermaid Princess.

Dainsleif, who had been protecting the two girls in secret, reported that no one had visited them, aside from the servants that delivered their food.

However, the Ancient Wendigo stated that it could sense something amiss in the surroundings, so it would continue to perform its duty without fail.

Ethan sat beside Princess Ramona and across from his sister, who didn't even bother to look in his direction.

She simply ate her food, and kept her silence.

However, Princess Ramona was the complete opposite, and asked her crush about the things he did.

"I visited the City of Zentris to check on the Allied Tribes," Ethan replied to Princess Ramona's question. "They're doing better than I expected."

"They are." Princess Ramona nodded. "I went to visit them not long ago to ask about you and Master. They are happily living their lives there. Speaking of Master, how is she?"

Princess Ramona had acknowledged Lily as her Master, who taught her the ways of Magic. Because of this, Lily, and Ethan, treated Princess Ramona like a little sister, which both of them never heard.

Ethan thought that he was an only child, while Lily was the youngest in her family.

They didn't know what it felt like to have a little sister, so they treated the adorable Princess as one.

"She's doing well," Ethan replied as he looked at the adorable girl. "In fact, when I return to the future, I will visit her homeland to officially marry her."

Princess Ramona blinked her eyes in confusion after hearing Ethan's reply.

"Aren't the two of you already married?" Princess Ramona inquired. "Isn't she your wife?"

"It's a bit complicated," Ethan, who didn't want to lie to the princess, replied with a stiff smile.

"But, she is going to be your wife soon, right?"

"Yes. She will be."

Joanne, who was just listening from the side, found this tidbit quite interesting.

"You were taught magic by this man's wife?" Princess Ramona asked, not wanting to call Ethan her brother.

Princess Ramona frowned, but decided to not correct her first friend, and just nodded as her way of saying yes.

"Oh, then how about I teach you how to use magic?" Joanne proposed. "But, you will also call me Master, okay?"

"I don't want to."

"Are you sure? I'm very strong, you know? I can teach you powerful magic that will be super beneficial to you."

Out of curiosity, Princess Ramona asked Joanne what kind of magic she was talking about.

"This magic is called Summon Golem," Joanne stated. "Depending on how proficient you are with the elements, you will be able to summon Golems, or even better, you will be able to summon Elementals. How about it? I'll teach it to you if you call me Master."

The adorable princess was torn between wanting to learn how to summon golems, and not wishing to call the smug-faced girl in front of her Master.

She felt that if she really called Joanne her Master, she felt that she was on the losing side.

"I-I'll think about it!" Princess Ramona decided to use a safe answer instead of outright rejecting the offer given to her by Ethan's sister.

Ethan watched this scene with a smile and decided to not interfere with the budding friendship of the two girls.

Since they would probably be stuck in the past for half a year, he thought that it would be best if his sister and the princess were to really become friends.

However, he also felt a bit worried that if the two of them became the best of friends, their parting would be much more painful as well.

"By the way, did your Father set a deadline for this battle for the throne?" Joanne suddenly asked a question that caught the princess by surprise.

"He has set a deadline, and it will be on the next Solstice," Princess Ramona replied. "That's at least, six months from now."

"Oh? What a coincidence," Joanne muttered. "So, have you decided if you want to become Queen or not?"

"I thought I had until sunset to think about it?" Princess Ramona pouted, which made Joanne look at her in contempt.

"If you are being wishy-washy, it doesn't matter how much time is given to you," Joanne replied. "You will continue to dodge the question until you find yourself backed against a wall. Should you wait for that to happen before you arrive at an answer?"

Princess Ramona lowered her head, and looked at her half-eaten plate.

Instead of giving Joanne an answer, she decided to finish eating first, making Ethan's Sister shrug.

Ethan, on the other hand, also decided to eat because he was feeling very hungry.

After their meal ended, Joanne returned to the bedroom to meditate, while Princess Ramona and Ethan went to the balcony that had a view of the sea.

"The sound of the waves hitting the shore has a calming effect," Princess Ramona commented as she held a small lyre in her hands. "But, would you like to listen to a song, Ethan?"

"Sure," Ethan replied. "I almost forgot that you like to play the Lyre. Have you gotten better since the last time you played for Lily and me?"

"I think just a tiny bit better," Princess Ramona smiled. "When I'm here in the palace, the only thing I do in my free time is practice magic and play the Lyre."

Ethan nodded as he made a gesture for the Princess to start playing.

As the young girl plucked the strings of her instrument, a soft, and cheerful melody reverberated in the surroundings.

Although Princess Ramona didn't sing, she started to hum, giving her music more impact.

Listening to her performance, Ethan couldn't help but close his eyes to appreciate it better.

He wasn't aware that somewhere in the sea, someone else was listening to Princess Ramona's performance.

The Mermaid Princess, who had secretly followed Ethan, observed the two who were sitting on the balcony with calm eyes, but within their depths, the first signs of a raging storm was starting to take place.

A/N: My Pc lagged when I was posting the chapters, so I might have posted a double chapter. I fixed it, but i don't know if the changes I made will reflect because I am posting chapters using a third party, and it usually have a one-hour delay before anything changes. If you don't see the chapter in this order, then the edits didn't take place.

I Won't Forgive You --> See You Later --> The First Signs Of A Raging Storm. I will wait for an hour to see if these chapters are properly updated, but if it doesn't reflect properly, I will fix it when I wake up.
