Chapter 855: Looking For The Four Treasures Of The Tuatha De Danann [Part 2]
Prince Louis admired Chloe in her Fox Lady form, charmed by the special air she exuded, making her an ethereal beauty.
The light passing by the window illuminated her presence, making her look surreal. It seemed as if he was looking at something that didn't exist in the world.
But that was it.
Prince Louis only admired her beauty, but it didn't go anything deeper than that.
He knew that the young lady in front of him loved the newest honorary knight of their kingdom, Ethan Gremory, who was also her cousin.
The prince didn't look at her in a romantic way and simply admired her dedication to try and uncover secrets that not even he knew.
Last but not the least, he wasn't someone who coveted the lover of others. He also understood that even if he tried, Chloe would only politely reject him, for she was that kind of lady.
Prince Louis was hailed a genius of both pen and sword, but unlike Chloe, he was unable to read the ancient books written by the mysterious race of the Tuatha De Danann.
If possible, he wanted Chloe to translate the books into their language so that he could read them as well.
He had long wanted to discover the ancient mysteries by reading the books in the Forbidden Section of the Royal Archives.
Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be.
Chloe said that it would be too tiring for her to do that.
A few minutes later, the door once again opened, and the Princess of the Kingdom, Princess Evangeline, appeared. She looked at her brother and the young lady with a disapproving gaze. "It's so early in the morning, and you've already gone back to reading?" Princess Evangeline said. "Eat your breakfast first, Chloe.
Also, Louis, why did you not insist that she eat breakfast first before she continued her research?"
The Crown Prince, who was older than her sister by two years, lightly scratched his head because he had forgotten to remind Chloe to eat first.
He just didn't want to disturb her because she was too focused on her reading, and he didn't want to disturb her concentration.
"I'm sorry, You're Highness," Chloe replied. "I will eat first."
"Good." Princess Evangeline nodded. "Father said that you are our honored guest, so we should make sure that you'll have a comfortable stay here in the palace. Lastly, I have some good news for you."
Princess Evangeline smiled mischievously before sitting beside Chloe, whose transformation had become undone after her concentration was broken.
"While it is not confirmed, I might have a very good idea as to who currently owns the Cauldron you are looking for," Princess Evangeline said. "But there is one problem. No one knows where she can be found at the moment."
"Who is the owner?" Chloe asked. "As long as we know their identity, the possibility of finding them will increase."
Princess Evangeline nodded before answering Chloe's question.
"While this is just a speculation on my part, I believe the cauldron is currently in the possession of the strongest Witch in the world," Princess Evangeline replied. "And who is the strongest Witch in the world, you say? There's one undisputed answer, and that is none other than the Progenitor of Magic, Lady Hecate."
Chloe frowned after hearing the Princess' words. The Progenitor of Magic was a legendary figure, and if the Cauldron of the Tuatha De Danann was really in her possession, finding it was going to be like finding a needle in a haystack.
No one knew where the Progenitor of Magic was located, and even if they knew, very few would dare to pay her a visit.
"Aside from her, do you know of other possible owners of the Cauldron?" Chloe asked before taking a bite of the pancake that was on her plate.
"Funny you mention that." Princess Evangeline giggled. "There are two more contenders, but both of them are just as elusive as Lady Hecate. The first one is Circe, the Witch of the Island of Aeaea, which no one knows of its exact location.
"The second one is the Witch named Morgan Le Fay, who according to Legend knew of the path that led to Avalon. But, these two witches shared a similarity."
"What similarity?" Chloe inquired before drinking her coffee.
"Both of them seem to like men," Princess Evangeline answered. "Handsome young men- heroes are their favorites, according to the stories I've read.
"If you were to look for them, make sure not to bring Sir Ethan with you. They are very powerful Witches and might kidnap your cousin, then chain him to their bed to become their paramour. You won't want that to happen, right?"
Chloe started coughing because she choked on the coffee that she was drinking.
A few minutes later, she regained her composure and looked at the Princess, who now had an apologetic look on her face.
"Sorry, I was just joking," Princess Evangeline said. "Are you okay, Chloe?"
"I'm fine, Your Highness," Chloe replied.
"I might've included jokes, but there's still some truth to what I've said," Princess Evangeline commented. "Since you are seriously looking for these treasures, you are bound to go to dangerous places. Bringing Ethan with you will help lessen the danger of your journey."
"Or it might make the journey more dangerous," Prince Louis smiled. "Especially since we are talking about powerful Witches who like handsome young men, as well as those with Heroic qualities. In my eyes, Sir Ethan Gremory has both, which would make him the prime target of such Witches, no?"
Chloe shook her head. "Ethan is strong, and he will not be captured by those Witches. Well, I guess if he fought against the Progenitor of Magic, his chances of winning would be slim, but against Circe and Morgan Le Fay, he might stand a chance."
The young lady had seen Ethan's strength. Because of this, she was certain that the person she liked would not be taken down easily.
What she didn't know was that her cousin had already faced the Progenitor of Magic, Lady Hecate, and barely survived the encounter with the help of his supporters.
In order to use the grand spell that would help thwart the dark times that were about to
descend upon the world, it was of the utmost importance that all the treasures of the Tuatha De Danann be gathered in one place. Only with the spell could they further increase their chance of surviving the second coming of Ragnarok.
