Wizard World Irregular

Princess Ramona paused for a bit before continuing her story.

“More people who came from faraway lands migrated to the Lands of Alastor. The land bridges that connected the different continents served as the bridge for them to reach this place.

“The Tidebringer always had his subordinates watching over these pathways, and whenever they needed help, he would appear and lead them safely to these lands.

“For him, this place was his safe haven, and the people who lived here felt the same way. It was then that everyone started to treat him as the Guardian Deity of these lands. People even erected statues of him and prayed to him on a daily basis.

“But one day, the Tidebringer fell in love…”

“Hold on just a minute!” Joanne interjected. “Is this falling in love part important to the story? Can we just skip it?”

Joanne sighed before looking at Joanne with a face filled with injustice.

“I thought you were going to let me finish without interrupting?”

“I was planning to do that, but you suddenly jumped to a romantic part out of the blue. I didn’t sign up for this, you know?”

Princess Ramona sighed for a second time before standing up to leave the pool. Using wind magic, she dried herself up and left Joanne behind.

The princess was too vexed, so she stepped out of the bathroom while huffing and puffing.

However, her body suddenly stiffened when he noticed that there was someone inside their room and was currently looking at her with a calm expression on his face.

Ethan stood up, took out a bath towel from his storage ring, and wrapped it around the princess’ body before leaving the room.

He was waiting for the two to finish taking a bath so that the three of them could have breakfast together.

He didn’t expect that Princess Ramona would come out fully naked because her mind was preoccupied at that moment.

When the door finally closed, Ramona suddenly lost the strength in her legs and slowly crouched down on the floor with the large bath towel that was covering her body.

As if waiting for that moment, Joanne stepped out of the bathroom with a bath towel wrapped around her torso and looked at the little turtle that was curled up on the carpeted floor.

“Sorry, I didn’t expect that you would react that way,” Joanne crouched down to apologize. “You can continue the story. This time, I promise I won’t interfere, I promise!”

Unfortunately, no matter how much Joanne coaxed the princess, the latter was too embarrassed to say or do anything.

At that time, the only thing that Ramona wanted to do was dig a hole and bury herself in it.

She didn’t expect that Ethan would be inside her room when she got out, making her wish that she could turn back time so that the person she liked wouldn’t see such an embarrassing side to her.

A few minutes later, Joanne was finally able to coax Princess Ramona to wear something so that they could eat breakfast together.

“You can continue your story after we finish eating breakfast,” Joanne said as she tried to pacify the girl beside her.

But, Princess Ramona ignored her. Clearly, she was still sulking about what happened earlier.

When they arrived at the dining table, Ethan was already there, and the maids had already brought the food to the table.

Just a glance was enough to see that the servants had no intention of leaving the room because they wanted to be in the presence of the handsome young man, whose mere presence made their hearts beat wildly inside their chests.

Unfortunately for them, Princess Ramona wouldn’t have it.

With a rare show of determination, she crossed her arms over her chest and told the maids to leave them alone.

Her voice was firm, and her tone wouldn’t take no for an answer.

Reluctantly, the maids decided that antagonizing the Princess wasn’t worth it, so all of them left the room one by one.

Ethan, who saw Ramona’s commanding stance, couldn’t help but smile as he watched the young lady sit across from him.

“That dress looks on you, Princess,” Ethan said with a smile.

“T-Thank you,” Princess Ramona stuttered before lowering her head.

Her earlier dominance vanished completely, making her return to her timid personality.

Seeing this, Joanne clicked her tongue before sitting beside the Princess.

“You know, Ramona and I were talking earlier in the bath, and she mentioned the part about the Tidebringer falling in love,” Joanne stated. “Ah, she wasn’t talking about the fake Tidebringer—you, but the real one. So, Ramona, how about you tell us both this story? What do you say?”

Knowing that the Princess liked Ethan, Joanne used this opportunity to coerce the teenage girl to continue where she had left off earlier.

Although she wasn’t interested in the love story of other people, she felt apologetic because her talk with the Princess had come to an abrupt end.

Truth be told, this was the first time that Joanne talked to someone for a long time.

Her Handmaidens were too meek to hold a conversation with her, and they always talked to her respectfully.

However, Princess Ramona was different.

She was a princess, and she was the same age as her.

Joanne was also treated as a princess in Caer Wydion, so seeing someone of the same rank as her made her feel that she and Ramona had something in common.

Ethan’s sister didn’t have a lot of friends, and she didn’t plan on making any. However, talking with Ramona made her feel at ease, which was something that she only felt when her parents or her grandparents visited her in Caer Wydion.

“The Tidebringer fell in love?” Ethan asked.

Clearly, his interest was piqued, so he gazed at the princess with eyes that were saying “can you tell me more about it?”

Seeing his gaze, Princess Ramona couldn’t help but shyly nod her head.

If her Prince Charming wanted to hear a romantic story, then she would definitely do her best!

Maybe, just maybe, that would make her crush interested in her as well. Although she knew that this was nearly impossible to happen, she still didn’t want to give up.

After all, her mother told her that if she wanted something, she had to do everything in her power to get it.
