Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 850: Late-night Visitor



Princess Ramona stared at her best friend's sleeping face, which still had a few traces of tears on it.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

After she revealed her true identity, the two of them weren't able to stop their emotions from overflowing and cried in each other's arms.

The Princess of the Magdar Kingdom was Joanne's very first friend, whom she recognized as her equal. Seeing her again naturally made her happy beyond words, making her drunk on the feeling of being with her again.

This time, they were no longer separated by time and space.

Ethan's sister was also very supportive of the princess' relationship with her brother and was very happy that the latter would become part of her amazing family in the future.

Princess Ramona hugged her friend in a protective manner before shifting her gaze to the beautiful lady with long red hair, standing beside the window and looking at her with a faint smile on her face.

"Is she the friend you've always talked to me about?" Lady Hecate asked.

"Yes, Your Excellency," Princess Ramona replied as she subconsciously hugged Joanne's body tighter.

"Don't worry. I'm not here to take away anything important to you," Lady Hecate stated. "Also, I have a deal with Ashmedai that I will not touch his people, so I won't be doing anything bad to that girl. I just placed a simple sleeping spell on her so that she won't wake up even if we talked loudly. She'll wake up tomorrow feeling refreshed and full of energy."

Princess Ramona breathed a sigh of relief, reassured to hear that she didn't have to worry about her best friend's safety.

However, she still didn't let her guard down and waited for the Progenitor to tell her why she had come to see her.

"Like I said, no need to feel anxious," Lady Hecate said. "I simply came here to ask you if you're satisfied with everything that happened. Are you happy, Ramona? Your wish has finally come true."

Princess Ramona nodded. "Yes. I am very happy right now. I am with the people that I love." The Progenitor of Magic sighed before glancing at the crescent moon outside of the window. "Yes, love is a wonderful thing," Lady Hecate said. "I know because I experienced it myself." A few minutes of silence passed as the beautiful lady reminisced about the past when she was still happy and in love with the person who had stayed with her until his dying breath.

"You must be wondering why I've come here, right?" Lady Hecate said as she glanced at the young lady, who was holding her best friend as if she was ready to attack the Progenitor if she ever made a move on Joanne.

"Yes, Your Excellency," Princess Ramona answered.

Lady Hecate nodded. "It's already late, so I won't take too much of your time. I just want you to pass a message to that boy, Ethan. It's about that other girl, Nicole. She doesn't have long to live."

Princess Ramona's eyes widened in shock, not expecting that this was the reason that the Progenitor came to see her.

Seeing her expression, the Progenitor of Magic smiled faintly.

"One year," Lady Hecate said. "At most, she will live for one more year. However, if she continues to use the power of her Legacy, that one year will shorten even further. Tell that to your boyfriend."

After saying those words, Lady Hecate's body gradually turned transparent as if she was going to disappear.

But before she disappeared completely, Princess Ramona asked her a question in a hurry. "Is there a way to save her?" Princess Ramona asked.

"Well, there is always a way." Lady Hecate's body, which was already half transparent, remained as if she had stopped her spell halfway. "One, he could take away her Legacy by force. But even if that method is used, Nicole would only live for two more years at most. "The second option is that I take her legacy by force and plant her soul into a new vessel, similar to what I did with you. That way, she will gain a new life and start anew."

Princess Ramona paused for a bit as she took in everything that the Progenitor of Magic had said to her.

"Is there any other way?" Princess Ramona asked. "Is there a third option?"

"There is." Lady Hecate nodded. "But it's impossible to do at this point in time. What Nicole needs to do is master the power of her Legacy, but it's simply incompatible with her body. However, if she manages to deal with that, she will be able to extend her lifespan up to three hundred years."

Lady Hecate shook her head helplessly because this was simply impossible. Even with outside help, she knew that her acquaintance wouldn't be able to properly merge with Nicole's body simply out of incompatibility.

It's like forcing an ice cube to retain its shape when it's placed inside a boiling kettle.

It was just not meant to be, which she found very sad.

"Just remember, if Ethan chooses the second option, tell him to find me," Lady Hecate said. "As much as I don't like the thought of seeing him again, my old friend is suffering, and I can't just stand by and not give a helping hand. The world needs Baradiel. She has been missing since the last ice age, so having her around will help boost the forces of Midgard." Lady Hecate's body once again became transparent, as if she had reached her limit. "Make sure to remind Ethan of what I told you tonight," Lady Hecate reminded. "Of course, if he doesn't mind letting his best friend die, he can be stubborn as much as he wants. I don't particularly care. I'll just come pick up Baradiel once her current vessel has reached its end."

Without another word, the Progenitor of Magic truly disappeared this time around, leaving the Princess alone in her thoughts.

"Baradiel..." Princess Ramona muttered.

A moment later, a determined glint appeared in her eyes.

Since Nicole's life was in danger, she decided to tell Ethan everything that she and the Progenitor of Magic had talked about, leaving Joanne to sleep alone inside her room for a

time.

When she arrived at Ethan's room, she knocked on the door and announced her name.

Since the rooms were enchanted with magic, she wasn't able to hear anything inside the

room.

Truth be told, she didn't want to disturb the young man because Luna and Lilian were currently spending their time with him.

However, since this involved the life of Ethan's best friend, she decided to talk to him as soon

as possible.

A moment later, the door opened a bit, revealing Ethan, who was only wearing his underwear.

Princess Ramona sighed in relief because he didn't see any kiss marks on his body or any signs that he was doing something very intimate with his lovers.

Ethan made it a point to not make love with his lovers inside of Dud Manor and only slept with his lovers whenever they came to be with him.

"What's wrong, Ramona?" Ethan asked as he opened the door wider. "Did my sister kick you

out of your bed?"

The young man's tone sounded playful, which lessened the anxiety she was feeling in her

heart.

"I need to tell you something important," Princess Ramona replied. "Can I come in?"

"Of course," Ethan opened the door to allow her to enter the room. "Please come in."

The Princess entered the room and immediately saw Luna and Lilian, laying on the bed and looking at her with sleepy eyes.

It seems that they were just about to sleep when she decided to talk to Ethan.

"Lady Hecate appeared inside my room tonight," Princess Ramona said, which immediately

made the playful look on Ethan's face disappear.

"Did she do anything to you or my sister?" Ethan asked in a serious tone.

"No," Princess Ramona replied. “She didn't come to hurt any of us. She just wanted me to

pass a message to you."

The Princess told the young man everything that happened from start to finish, which made

him frown.

Only when the young lady finished talking did he heave a long and deep sigh as if he had heard something extremely problematic.

"Thank you for telling this to me as soon as possible," Ethan said. "I'll talk to Nicole

tomorrow and tell her everything you told to me."

Princess Ramona nodded. "I'll go back to my room now. Goodnight, Ethan."

"Goodnight, Ramona," Ethan hugged the princess and gave her a kiss on the cheek before

letting her go.

The princess hurried back to her room, and once again laid down on the bed to hug her best friend, who was still sleeping peacefully without a care in the world.

Thoughts about her discussion with the Progenitor of Magic swirled inside her mind.

But more than anything else, she hoped that Ethan would find a way to save Nicole, because she instinctively knew that if she really died, her lover would become heartbroken, for Nicole was a very important person in his heart.
