Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 677: One Moment In Time [Part 2]

Ethan thought that it was a bad idea, so he made his opinion known to the two members of the peanut gallery.

'Hello? I am not the real Tidebringer?' Ethan countered. 'I don't think it's good to take credit with someone else's identity.'

'It's fine,' Sebastian said. 'That fellow is a happy go lucky guy. In fact, he might even laugh out loud if he returns here and sees that people are worshiping the Tidebringer, who doesn't look like him.'

Sebastian didn't say that he wanted to get back at his previous owner, who didn't even bother to visit him in the City of Zentris for hundreds of years.

He believed that a little payback was in order, and what better way than to let the people worship Ethan, instead of the original Tidebringer?

The two tried their best to convince Ethan, but he remained firm that he didn't want to do it.

However, he changed his mind when his Other Half said that he should do it for Princess Ramona, who planned to become the Saintess of the Religion.

Sebastian added that Ethan should take responsibility by going all the way with the religion, making the young man fold in defeat.

Later that afternoon, when the sun was about to set, Joanne took a photo of Ethan holding his trident, and acting imposingly with the sea as the background.

Princess Ramona's face was beet-red because Ethan's naked upper body was enough to make even someone like her, feel her cheeks burning for reasons that only she knew.

The Painter, who was also there to witness the scene, was dumbfounded by such a magical contraption, making him ask how it was made.

Of course, Ethan didn't tell him because he also didn't know how it had been done.

Joanne, who was feeling mischievous at that time, decided to help her friend take a memorable picture with her brother.

"Hey, the two of you stand together," Joanne ordered her best friend, whose face was still as red as a tomato. "Go and hug him, and you should hug her as well, Brother.

"Yes… that's it. Closer, stick your body to him, Ramona. Hug her tighter. Now, look at each other as if you are in love. Hey! Be serious!

Stop laughing!"

Then, with the reddish purple sk as the background and a few stars of the stars starting their appearance, Joanne took a picture.

When the photo was developed, she nodded her head in satisfaction, and used her magic to enlarge it and add color to it.

Ethan took the picture, and used his rune magic to create a frame for it before handing it to Princess Ramona, who looked at it in a daze.

Suddenly, tears fell down her eyes, which made Ethan and Joanne think that she didn't like the picture.

However, after telling them that she only cried because she loved the picture very much, the brother and sister pair finally sighed in relief.

Joanne was not aware that her mischievous antics became Princess Ramona's most treasured possession.

She stared at the picture with blurry vision as tears of happiness fell down from her face.

Princess Ramona looked at the photo where her and Ethans' gaze met each other, making her heart beat wildly inside her chest.

During that time, she wished that time would stop, so that she could remember that moment forever.

The magic photo in her hands had perfectly captured that moment, which made her extremely happy, making her cry tears of joy.

Joanne looked at her brother, and gave him the, what are you waiting for? gaze, which made Ethan shake his head.

The Princess said that she was crying tears of joy, so he felt bad if he were to suddenly intervene when she was feeling happy.

It took the Princess a few minutes to regain her composure, but after that, she returned to her room, and hid the picture frame inside her closet.

She didn't want others to see it because it was for her eyes only!

"Hey! It's not fair that you are the only ones who get pictures!" Lapis complained.

"That's right!" another Fairy raised her hand. "We believe in Fairy Rights! We also deserve to be in the picture!"

"The picture is good, but we also want candies!"

"Yes! We can't forget about the candies. It makes the world go round!"

"Have you not heard of the Tooth Fairies? They're real, you know?"

Ethan was quick to pull on a shirt because the Fairies were poking him all over, as they made their protests.

In the end, Ethan, Joanne, Princess Ramona, and the Fairies struck a pose as they faced the magic camera.

Ethan used his wand to magically take their pictures, so that everyone would be in the same frame.

When the picture was developed, a visitor entered from the balcony, which made Ethan turn his head to look at the Mermaid Princess, who made a beeline towards his photo, where he posed as the Tidebringer.

Without even saying a word, Illumina took it and left the scene without even taking a second glance to everyone inside the room.

Princess Ramona pouted because that picture frame was supposed to be the one that she would place over the altar of her temple!

"Don't worry, we can just take another picture tomorrow," Joanne stated. "We can make it waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better and make it bigger! Um, I think a five-meter-tall picture frame would be good, right?"

"You're right," Princess Ramona nodded. "If it's that big, people will see it from a distance."

Ethan wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead because this was getting out of hand.

He didn't regret showing the magic camera to the Princess because he also wanted her to keep a memento of him, and his sister, so that she wouldn't be too lonely without them.

The days passed swiftly, and finally, it was only a day before Ethan, and Joanne returned to the present.

Ethan's sister, who had become too attached too Princes Ramona, cried that night, as she hugged her best friend tightly.

Joanne, on the other hand, held back her tears and hugged her best friend, who had made her days very happy.

Looking at the two, Ethan thought of delaying their return to the present, but also understood that this was just delaying the inevitable.

He understood that Princess Ramona was trying to be strong, so doing that would only make her effort useless.

That night, Ethan and Joanne hugged the Princess tightly, wrapping her in their warmth, and love.

This was their last night together, so they would spend it like they always did, and sleep in each other's loving embrace.
