Chapter 675 I’m Going To Become A Widow In Nine Days

Chapter 675 I’m Going To Become A Widow In Nine Days

After Princess Ramona’s declaration, and seeing that nothing he would say would change her mind, King Baldur decided to back down and pass the throne to the second person whom he deemed eligible to take over his position.

And that was none other than the Fourth Prince, Prince Amir.

Prince Amir was quite happy to take over the position that Princess Ramona had turned down, and made a promise to ensure the Magdar Kingdom’s growth and prosperity.

The party continued as usual, with Ethan entertaining the Kings, as well as their daughters.

The Princes, on the other hand, were ignored by Joanne altogether because, in her eyes, they were just monkeys that were trying to entertain her.

Ethan first danced with Joanne, then the other princesses of the different Kingdoms.

This was to foster good relationships with all Kingdoms and let them know that he approved of their alliance.

The last dance he saved for Princess Ramona, and the two danced silently.

Ethan wanted to say many things to her, but knew that the time wasn’t right.

He would have plenty of opportunities once the party was over, so he danced with her, making the young lady’s heart flutter.

The celebration lasted well into the night, but Ethan, Joanne, and Princess Ramona retired just before midnight.

Both girls were already exhausted from socializing, and Ethan didn’t want them to suffer any longer.

When they arrived at the residence, Joanne and Princess Ramona took a bath in their room, while Ethan took a quick shower.

When he was clothed and feeling refreshed, he walked towards the balcony and sat on the chair to look at the stars in the sky.

‘The stars here are really different from the stars in the Shire Continent,’ Ethan thought.

Suddenly, a song reached his ears, making him smile.

The song, of course, was being sung by Illumina, who saw Ethan on the balcony.

However, she didn’t have any intention to meet him at this time.

Illumina wanted to give the young Princess all the time in the world to monopolize the young man, who would only be with her for nine more days.

Perhaps, Ethan understood this as well, so he closed his eyes and listened to the Mermaid Princess’ song, which made all the exhaustion he felt during the party disappear without a trace.

When the song ended, the young man felt someone approach him from the living room, so he turned his head to look at Princess Ramona, who was wearing her one-piece night gown.

“Big Sister is out there, right?” Princess Ramona asked as she sat on Ethan’s lap, as if it was something that belonged to her entirely.

“Yes,” Ethan replied, as he wrapped his hands around Princess Ramona’s waist. “Where’s Joanne?”

“She told me that you’re here and I should watch the stars together with you, or something similar,” Princess Ramona answered before resting her head on Ethan’s shoulder and closing her eyes.

She felt incredibly comfortable right now, while being held by the person, who was the reason she decided to turn down the position as Crown Princess, who was supposed to take over her father’s place and rule the Magdar Kingdom.

“Well, the stars are indeed very beautiful,” Ethan nodded.

“More beautiful than me?” Princess Ramona asked, with her eyes still closed.

Ethan suddenly felt that he was stuck between a rock and hard place. He knew that when girls asked this question, there was only one answer that men could give them.

“You’re more beautiful of course,” Ethan replied as he ignored Sebastian’s and his Other Half’s laughter from inside his head.

“Our boy is no good,” Sebastian commented.

“Indeed.” Ethan’s Other Half nodded. “He’s not even a match for a twelve-year-old.”

Just as he expected, the smile on Princess Ramona’s face widened as she hugged Ethan.

“Say, are you sure about being the Priestess of the Tidebringer Religion?” Ethan inquired.

He wasn’t really the Tidebringer, and someone who only inherited his bloodline and powers, so he was feeling a bit guilty that the princess chose this path, instead of being the Queen of the Kingdom.

“Yes,” Princess Ramona replied. “I don’t want to marry anyone aside from you. I don’t want to give birth to anyone’s child aside from you.”

During this era where strife was everywhere, the age of marriage for girls was around thirteen to fourteen years old.

Right now, Princess Ramona was twelve, and she understood that when she turned thirteen, her father would definitely arrange a political marriage for her.

The young lady didn’t want that to happen, so she chose to become a Priestess, who would protect her maidenhood till she died.

“This path you chose, I don’t know if I should be happy or sad, knowing that you did all of this for me,” Ethan said softly.

He was well aware of the princess’ feelings for him, and this was the reason why he felt guilty because the path she chose was due to him.

“Mmm, you should definitely take responsibility,” Princess Ramona commented. “I’m only twelve, and I’m going to become a widow in nine days. This world is so cruel.”

The corner of Ethan’s lips twitched after hearing the princess’ words.

However, a second later, he suddenly felt a shiver run down his spine because he sensed a piercing gaze from the sea, which made the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end. “You shouldn’t say those words casually,” Ethan sighed. “You don’t know who is listening to our conversation.”

“It’s just Big Sister, so let her listen,” Princess Ramona pouted. “She will be able to meet you in the future, but I…”

The young lady bit her lip because she didn’t want to continue whatever she was going to say.

She wasn’t a crybaby, and she didn’t want to cry every night because of the inevitable.

Ethan didn’t say anything, and simply hugged her before lightly patting her head.

A few minutes later, the young lady pulled back before kissing Ethan’s cheek.

“I’m getting sleepy,” Princess Ramona said.

“Then let’s sleep,” Ethan replied before planting a kiss on her forehead.

He then carried her in a princess carry, and went to her bedroom, where Joanne was already fast asleep with her arms spread wide on the bed.

“Leveticus.” Princess Ramona summoned her staff, and pointed it at the sleeping girl, making her body float from the bed.

A giggle then escaped her lips because she found this situation very funny.

Ethan also smiled as he gazed at his sister, who was floating with her arms spread wide.

He then gently placed the Princess at the center of the bed, while the latter made her best friend land gently on her right side.

Ethan laid down on Princess Ramona’s left side, and hugged her to sleep.

The two of them would have a proper talk tomorrow after they were well rested.

As both of them closed their eyes to sleep, they once again heard the singing of a mermaid.

This time, Ilumina sang the song, “Lullaby for a stormy night,” which soon put Ethan and Princess Ramona to sleep.

A few minutes later, Illumina stopped singing, and watched them from afar, using her scrying magic.

After making sure that they were truly asleep, she swam towards the depth of the sea, where she had created her own little sanctuary.

There, she would continue to watch over the people whom she deemed important to her, and make sure that they would only dream of sweet and happy dreams on this beautiful night.
