Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 849: I Promise To Only Use It As A Last Resort

Joanne blinked once then twice before shifting her gaze to her brother as if asking for his confirmation.

After dinner, Joanne tagged along with Ethan to Dud Manor, where she was taken to Hecate's room to talk about something important.

There, Hecate came clean, and told her best friend that she was Princess Ramona.

At first, Joanne thought that this was just a prank.

There had been times in the past when she fantasized that the Saintess who had come to Brynhildr Academy was in fact her best friend from long ago.

Of course, this was just her wish, which was why she didn't hesitate to treat the Saintess as her friend because she came from the same place where her best friend lived.

"She's telling the truth," Ethan said, while enjoying the dumbfounded look on his sister's face. "She is really Ramona."

Joanne once again shifted her gaze to the beautiful Half-Elf, who was looking at her with teary eyes.

It was at that moment when Ethan's sister truly realized that they weren't pranking her, which made her cry out as she hugged her best friend, whom she missed terribly.

Princess Ramona hugged her back, and this time, she no longer held back the tears, and let them fall freely.

These tears weren't tears of sadness, but tears of happiness for reuniting with her first best friend in both her lifetimes.

Seeing the two young ladies cry, Ethan stood up and wrapped his arms around the two of them, holding them close to him.

A minute later, he kissed his sister's tear-stained cheek before leaving the room to let the two of them have their private time together.

He then headed to his room where Lily, Luna, Lilian, Lilith, and Emma were waiting for him. (A/N: Kekeke. So many names starting with L.)

(E/N: And then he wonders why we miss name flips at times. LOL)

"How are they?" Lilith asked.

"Crying in each other's arms," Ethan replied as he sat on the couch, hugging Lily and Luna

close to him.

Lilian, who also wished to be hugged by Ethan, decided to hold back for now.

She had managed to secure a promise from him earlier that she would sleep beside him tonight, allowing her to control her desire to have some intimate moments with him.

"Lily, I didn't manage to tell you this earlier, but Hecate is actually Princess Ramona," Ethan said.

"What?!" Lily's eyes widened in shock after hearing the revelation. "Is that the truth?" Ethan nodded. "Yes."

"But, why didn't she tell us earlier?" Lily asked.

"It's because her memory wasn't complete," Ethan replied. "She wasn't aware that she was Ramona because her soul was in the custody of the Progenitor of Magic, Hecate."

Ethan then began to tell his lovers about their adventure in the Lands of Midgard.

How they managed to trick the Vampire Lord, Godfrey, into signing a contract and leading them to World's End to take back Princess Ramona's soul, so that she could reunite with her body.

Lily, Luna, Lilian, and Emma found the process of tricking Godfrey quite interesting, and even asked Ethan to show them what Ethel looked like, which the young man pretended not to hear.

But, since his wives pleaded with him earnestly, he decided to promise to do it once the weekend came, since they didn't have to attend classes then.

After the Ethel issue was settled, he continued his story and told them about the Red Chameleons that managed to enter their world through the sky at World's End.

Their smiling faces disappeared the moment they heard that Nicole had forced herself to use the power of her Legacy and was trapped in a block of ice.

When they also heard about the part where the Progenitor of Magic forced Ethan to choose between Princess Ramona and Nicole, the temperature in the room dropped as a silence that lasted for a full minute descended inside the room.

The silence was broken by Lily's sigh, as she looked at her husband.

"Since both Ramona and Nicole are here, I believe that you found a way to convince Lady Hecate to give both of them to you?" LIly inquired.

"Yes," Ethan replied. "I chose to fight her inside my Celestial Domain."

Ethan wasn't able to tell them exactly how the battle ended because he had lost consciousness after using his strongest attack.

But Sebastian and his Other Half filled in the blanks, telling him what happened while he was unconscious.

"It's a good thing that you managed to survive that encounter," Luna said with a pale expression on her face. "I've always wanted to see what the Progenitor of Magic was like, but now, I don't want to see her anymore."

Lilian and Emma, both nodded in agreement.

As Witches, they knew that Magic spread in the world because Lady Hecate had made it so.

But to think that the person they look highly upon almost hurt the one they loved, their former respect and awe towards the Progenitor of Magic disappeared without a trace. "Although I am saying this now, I believe that Lady Hecate would not have killed me, even if I had lost to her," Ethan stated. "At least, I think she wouldn't have killed me right away."

"Yes, she wouldn't have killed you because she would have wanted to use you as an experimental subject," Lily frowned. "Also, don't use the attack that you used against her again."

"I promise to only use it as a last resort," Ethan replied.

Lily nodded. "Okay."

Ethan then suddenly remembered the thing that he noticed when he arrived at the academy. "Where is Chloe?" Ethan asked. "I didn't see her earlier in the landing area or in the Dining Hall."

Ethan's lovers exchanged glances at each other before shifting their gaze back to him.

"Chloe disappeared from the academy three days after you left," Lily answered. "When I asked our Head Prefect if he knew where she was, he said that the Headmaster had sent her on a special mission just like you.

"We even thought that she had left to follow you on your mission," Emma commented. "She just disappeared without leaving any notice behind."

Ethan frowned because he didn't expect that his cousin was currently away from the academy. 'I'll just ask the Headmaster about her whereabouts tomorrow,' Ethan thought. 'Since Professor Rinehart, and Professor Barret didn't ask me to have a private talk with them after dinner, I have to believe that nothing serious has happened to her.'

With that thought in mind, he continued to chat with his lovers as they all took their turn to tell Ethan what happened in the academy during his absence.
