Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 843: There’s More Where That Came From

Three days after the Flying Ship departed the City of Cashel…

The sound of kissing spread inside the room, as Ethan kissed Nicole's soft lips, absorbing the coldness that permeated her body.

They had tested out this method in the past, and it turned out to be the fastest way to rid Nicole of her ailment. So this was the method that they both agreed to use whenever Ethan needed to help her recover faster.

The two of them were still naked, but they had been like this for more than a week already, so they no longer felt embarrassed being with each other.

A soft sigh escaped Nicole's lips as Ethan pulled back to look at her complexion.

Her face was slowly regaining its color, but her body was still cold to the touch.

Because of this, the young man once again lowered his head to kiss Nicole's lips, and she responded to his kisses by wrapping her arms around him, holding him in place.

The two continued to kiss for nearly ten minutes before Ethan finally pulled back.

He gazed down at the beautiful young lady, who was finally showing signs of recovery.

Nicole, on the other hand, looked up to him, and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him down, so that she could thank him with a kiss.

And just like that, the two of them kissed for another five minutes before Ethan laid beside her, and hugged her close to him.

"You're a little warmer now," Ethan said softly, feeling happy that Nicole was on her way to recovery. "Make sure to not overwork yourself again like last time. If possible, I don't want to see Lady Hecate again to ask for her help."

"Well, she's not that bad, compared to the other Progenitors," Nicole replied, enjoying the heat that was coming from Ethan's body. "By the way, should I continue to call our junior Hecate, or would it be better to call her Ramona?"

"Just call her Ramona," Ethan answered. "That is the name that I plan to call her from now on."

"Mmm." Nicole nodded. "But, I find her story fascinating. Tell me, Ethan, do you like her?"

"I will be lying if I said no," Ethan replied. "How can I not feel anything after everything that she has done, so that the two of us can be together? I didn't take her confession seriously back then because she was still too young, and we lived in different time lines

"When I met her for the second time with my sister, Joanne, I knew that she was really serious, but I had to steel myself because I thought that it wasn't meant to be."

Nicole smiled and lightly caressed the side of Ethan's face.

"How about now?" Nicole inquired. "Do you now think it's possible?"

"Yes," Ethan replied.

"You're a lucky guy to be loved by someone like her."

"Yes. I am very blessed."

"But, that doesn't change the fact that the number of your future wives has increased by one."

Ethan nodded. "That's true."

Due to Nicole's current state, he and Hecate hadn't had the chance to have a proper talk with each other.

Whenever the Saintess stayed in the room to sleep with them, she and Ethan seemed to have a silent agreement that this was not the right time to talk to each other.

But, that didn't stop them from showing each other their feelings through their words, actions, and the kisses that they shared with each other.

Nicole witnessed this since she was stuck with Ethan and, frankly, she was moved by Princess Ramona's love for him.

She sometimes asked herself if she would be able to do the same thing as the Princess. But, she knew that her answer would be "No".

Falling in love was something that she still hadn't experienced in her life.

Nicole had known that Princess Ramona loved Ethan, but she didn't know how much she loved him.

Now she knew that Ramona loved him so much that she defied the barriers of time and space just to be with him, which Nicole believed was something that she couldn't do.

At least, something the current her couldn't do.

For her, Ethan was someone whom she could share secrets with.

Someone who she could laugh with, and fight alongside with.

Their relationship was more than friends, but less than lovers.

They had done some things that only lovers did, and even slept naked with each other, but never pushed past the boundary of no return.

For Nicole, Ethan was special.

He was someone whom she wouldn't mind spending her life with.

But, she had a feeling that what she felt towards him wasn't the romantic type of love.

The young man was her anchor and supporter.

Perhaps, if not for the fact that he was the only one who could help her with her current condition, their relationship might not have evolved to the point where they could kiss each other without worrying about the consequences or feeling embarrassed.

"Ethan, if by a miracle, I live up to the age of thirty, and I'm still single, will you marry me?" Nicole asked out of curiosity.

"If I'm still alive then I'll definitely marry you," Ethan replied with a smile. "But, as you may already know, you'll never know what may happen in the future. One mistake, and our trip to World's End might have ended differently."

When Ethan was forced to choose between Princess Hecate and Nicole inside Mimir's Domain, he felt as if his heart was breaking apart.

Despite having countless simulations, the end result was losing either the Princess who loved him, or his best friend, who was always there for him.

"True." Nicole sighed softly. "Frankly, I don't think I'll live past our graduation."

"Don't say that," Ethan said. "You will live past our graduation, we will find a way to help you fully embrace the power of your Legacy."

"Even if I don't find one, I'm sure you will take it by force if my life is in danger, right?" Nicole inquired.

"I will," Ethan answered. "If that is what it takes to ensure your survival."

"But, Ethan, the only way for you to take my Legacy is if you…" Nicole purposely didn't finish whatever she was going to say next, and simply smiled mischievously at the young man, whose face became flushed all of a sudden.

Even so, Ethan didn't take back what he stated and hugged Nicole tighter before whispering in her ear.

"I will really do it," Ethan whispered. "So you better be honest with me if you are unable to hold the Legacy inside your body any longer. I don't want you to die alone, in a place where I can't see you."

Feeling the seriousness in Ethan's voice, Nicole couldn't help but feel something warm spread inside her chest.

"When that time comes, you better take responsibility," Nicole replied.

"I will, so you better not keep secrets from me, especially when you feel that you are about to lose control over your Legacy," Ethan stated.

"Mmm. I promise." Nicole nodded as she hugged Ethan tighter. " Ethan, you're so warm."

"There's more where that came from," Ethan replied in a teasing tone before kissing Nicole's forehead.

The two then hugged each other before sharing another kiss which heated up their bodies and hearts under the blankets.
