Ethan looked at the young lady, who was holding onto him tightly as tears streamed down her eyes.

It was the night before their return to the Magdar Kingdom, and Princess Ramona asked if she could sleep with Ethan that night.

Perhaps knowing that this would be a prelude to their final goodbye, Ethan agreed.

Joanne, who was also feeling sad, decided to join them.

Illumina, on the other hand, left to give the three of them some time to be together.

Unlike Princess Ramona, she would still be able to meet Ethan in the future, so this wasn’t really a final goodbye for her.

That night, the Princess held onto Ethan tightly as her tears fell like a river.

Joanne, who was lying behind her, hugged her tightly, and couldn’t help but cry as well because she would miss her dearly.

The Princess was Joanne’s first friend, who easily became her best friend. Both of them were Princesses, so in her eyes, both of them had equal standing.

This was very different from the treatment Joanne gave the Protector Clans, who acted as her Guardians.

They were more like servants in her eyes, so having someone who was the same age, as well as position as her allowed her to connect to Princess Ramona more than the people she had met in the past.

Ethan held Princess Ramona’s trembling body, as her pained sobs pricked his heart.

Back then, the Princess had also cried in his arms when he and Lily were about to return to the present.

Although he also felt sad back then, the sadness that he was feeling now was more than what he felt in the past.

Princess Ramona was a very lovable girl, and seeing her cry was heartbreaking.

So, Ethan endured and held her tightly until she and Joanne, fell asleep with traces of tears lingering on their faces.

Even Sebastian and Ethan’s Other Half kept silent, and didn’t say anything all through the night.

They knew that Ethan was hurting in his own way, so they did the only thing they could do, and that was to give him some space to sort out his feelings for the young lady, whom he would be leaving a second time.

According to Sebastian, they still had two weeks left before he had gathered enough magical energy to send Ethan and Joanne back to the present.

So, although there were still a few days away before their departure, Joanne already felt that the moment they returned to the Magdar Kingdom, her happiness would also come to an end.

Ethan was unable to sleep that night, and spent the hours until morning, holding the young lady, who loved him very much.

When morning came, he watched as Princess Ramona slowly opened her eyes, and looked at him as if wondering if all the time that she had spent with Ethan and Joanne was just a dream.

Perhaps feeling a bit more emotional, Ethan planted a kiss on her forehead, and held her closer to him.

“Good morning,” Ethan whispered in her ears, making the dregs of sleep in the Princess’ consciousness fly away.

“Good morning,” Princess Ramona replied, as she also held onto Ethan.

She promised herself that she would no longer cry after last night, so she shed her tears until she no longer had tears to shed.

However, the warmth that she was feeling right now, made her eyes moisten once more.

Fighting the urge to cry, the Princess took deep breaths and calmed herself to the best of her ability.

Five minutes later, she finally regained her composure and reluctantly pulled away from Ethan’s embrace.

“Joanne, wake up,” Princess Ramona lightly shook the young lady beside her.

“Mmhh…” Joanne groaned lightly before she sleepily looked at her friend, who was looking at her with a smile on her face.

“Wipe that drool on your face,” Princess Ramona said in a teasing tone. “You brag so much that you are older than me, but you act more like a child than I do.”

Joanne, who had just been told that she was a child, immediately wiped the side of her lips with the back of her hand.

The two girls then went to the table to pour some water on the bowl that they could use to wash their faces.

‘She’s a strong girl,’ Sebastian commented. ‘I’m sure she’ll be fine.’

‘Yes,’ Ethan replied in a sad tone.

Ethan’s Other Half, on the other hand, only watched this with his arms crossed over his chest.

He really liked the Princess, but he knew that some things were not meant to be.

Although Ethan had managed to go to the past twice, that didn’t mean that he was capable of bringing someone to the present.

The laws of the world didn’t work like that. So even though he thought that bringing Princess Ramona to the future would make Joanne and her best friend happy, he knew that it was not meant to be.

Even if they succeed, the consequences of doing so would be dire.

It would completely change history and the Norns, who constantly weaved the thread of fate, would not allow such a thing to happen.

After washing up, the three headed down to the tavern to have breakfast together.

As if waiting for their arrival, Illumina waved them to her table, which was already filled with food.

All of them were Joanne’s and Princess Ramonas’ favorites, but the two didn’t have much appetite to enjoy this sumptuous breakfast that the Mermaid Princess prepared for them.

The four of them ate in silence because there was nothing to talk about.

When their meal ended, they left the tavern to continue their journey back to Magdar Kingdom.

Princess Ramona hugged Joanne’s back as the two of them flew on her flying broom.

Ethan and Illumina rode his Wind Dancer, and followed behind the two girls.

It only took them three hours to arrive at their destination, and the moment they landed in Princess Ramona’s residence, Illumina bid her goodbye.

“I’ll meet you at the City of Zentris before you leave,” Illumina whispered in Ethan’s ears.

Ethan nodded and thanked the Mermaid Princess for everything.

Just a few minutes after Illumina left, King Baldur arrived at Princess Ramona’s residence to see his daughter, whom he hadn’t seen for several months.

Although he knew that she would be well protected by the Tidebringer, that didn’t change the fact that he missed her terribly.

An hour later, the King announced that he would announce who would succeed him in his position in four day’s time.

He ordered his servants to prepare a grand feast, which would mark a turning point in the history of the Magdar Kingdom.
