Wizard World Irregular

The Kings and Queens made their way to Princess Ramon’s Residence to talk with the Princess about her plans on creating a grand temple, and establishing a religion centering around the Tidebringer.

Just like what the young lady said in the party, the Tidebringer had been the Deity that the people in the lands of Alastor prayed to whenever they were facing challenges in their lives.

However, there had been no official temples built for his worship.

In a world where people could believe in whatever Gods and Deities they wanted to worship, it was only natural for people to approve of Princess Ramona’s decision.

All of them agreed that it was a good idea, and since she was also close to the Tidebringer, it made her the ideal candidate to become the First Saintess of the religion.

Ethan, who was there when this gathering happened, didn’t talk and simply leaned on the wall with his eyes closed.

He knew that a single word from him could affect this meeting, so he remained quiet, and didn’t show any kind of reaction from the beginning up to the end of the discussion.

It was only Princess Ramona who talked to the leaders and finalized everything.

Only when the talks were done did the young man talk to the Kings and Queens, who were more than happy to receive his attention.

Prince Amir, who was now the Crown Prince, was also present and was currently talking with Joanne at the corner of the room.

“I want you to build a statue of me when you become king,” Joanne said. “I don’t want a simple statue. I want it to be veeeeery big! Bigger than your castle. Oh, you can also make a statue of Ramona standing beside me as well.”

“Very well, My Lady.” Prince Amir nodded with a solemn expression on his face. “I will use half of the Kingdom’s treasury to make it happen.”

“Good.” Joanne smiled sweetly. “I’m sure that your kingdom will be blessed with good fortune because you listened to me.”

Ethan, who overheard his sister’s words, couldn’t help but wonder why Prince Amir was listening to her.

‘Building a statue that was bigger than the Magdar Kingdom’s Palace?’ Sebastian rubbed his chin. ‘Joanne sure knows how to make her mark in the pages of history.’

‘Just imagine if it actually comes true?’ Ethan’s Other Half commented. ‘I’m sure that she’ll brag about it to Ethan, and her parents when she sees it for herself.’

‘But, I don’t think it will happen.’ Sebastian shook his head. ‘I’m sure that Prince Amir is just nodding his head to get Joanne’s good graces.’

‘Mmm.’ Ethan’s Other Half nodded. ‘Who in their right mind would use half of their Kingdom’s resources for such a thing? I don’t see it happening.’

‘I know, right?’

‘Well, at least she looks happy because Prince Amir looks like he is going to really do it.’

Ethan shared Sebastian’s and his Other Half’s thoughts in regards to Joanne’s demand.

It just wasn't feasible, and no sane ruler would do such a thing.

When the rulers finally left, and only Ethan, Joanne, and Princess Ramona were left in the residence, the three sat in the dining room in order to relax.

Naturally, Princess Ramona sat on Ethan’s lap, acting spoiled, which made Joanne smirk.

“Prince Amir said that he will send a painter to paint us together later this afternoon, Ramona,” Joanne said. “I’ll go take a nap until then. Wake me up when the painter arrives.”

Ethan’s sister didn’t even wait for her friend’s reply as she hastily went to the bedroom, leaving the Princess and her brother alone.

“Ramona, make sure to stop anyone who plans to build a statue of my sister here in the Magdar Kingdom, okay?” Ethan said in a serious tone.

“Eh? I thought that it was a great idea,” Princess Ramona smiled sweetly. “Also, since a painter will be here later, maybe we should all pose together? I’d like to hang that painting in my bedroom, so I can always see it before I go to sleep.”

“… Okay.” Ethan nodded trying not to sound sad. “Your wish is my command, Your Highness.”

“Good.” Princess Ramona rested her head on Ethan’s shoulder. “Maybe we should have two painters. That way, you can also bring my painting back to your time, so you won’t forget about me.”

“Actually, I have something better,” Ethan replied as he took out an old looking magic camera with a tripod from his storage ring. “This is called a magic camera, and it can take pictures of people.”

Princess Ramona looked at the odd looking device with great curiosity. “Pictures of people? What’s that?”

Ethan smiled and asked Ramona to sit properly on the couch, while he set up the camera.

The Princess, who also wanted to know what the camera could do, obeyed Ethan and sat properly.

The young man then aimed the camera in her direction, and told the princess that she might see a bright light, so she should not panic.

Princess Ramona nodded her head in understanding.

Ethan then counted to three before taking a shot.

Just like he mentioned earlier, a bright flash appeared, making the Princess blink her eyes subconsciously.

After taking the picture, something flew out of the top of the camera, and slowly landed on Ethan’s hand.

When he saw the picture, he couldn’t help but nod his head in satisfaction because it came out well.

The princess was a beautiful girl, so even though there was a hint of surprise on her face, it just made the picture look natural.

“Here you go,” Ethan handed Princess Ramona’s picture to the young lady, which made her eyes widen in shock.

The photo didn’t have any colors aside from different shades of black and white, but it was still a perfect picture of Princess Ramona, which took her by surprise.

“A-Amazing!” Princess Ramona stuttered. “Doesn’t this mean that I can take pictures of the two of you all I want?”

“Unfortunately, we can’t do that,” Ethan replied. “This is an old model, so at most, we can only take twenty photos before the magical film runs out. But, we can do something to the photo, to make it better.”

Ethan took out his wand and pointed it at the photo in the young lady’s hands.

“Extendo!” Ethan chanted, and the photo suddenly enlarged itself until it was a foot tall, and a foot wide.

But, the young man was still not done.

“Pigmentum!”

After saying his second spell, the black and white photo in Princess Ramona’s hand slowly transformed into a colored photo, making her look at Ethan in surprise.

Earlier, she felt disappointed because the photo was only in black and white. But, she was still fine with it.

But now that the photo had color in it, it made her extremely happy.

With this, she would be able to have a memento of Ethan, and Joanne, which she would cherish for a lifetime.

‘Ethan, I have a great idea! Why don’t you take a photo without your shirt on, and holding the Sea God’s Trident,’ Sebastian commented. ‘Princess Ramona can hang that picture on the Altar of the Temple, so that everyone can see what you look like.’

‘I don’t think that’s a good idea…,’ Ethan replied.

‘No! It is a good idea!’ Ethan’s Other Half stated. ‘Listen to Sebastian, he knows what he is talking about.’

Ethans’ Other Half didn’t plan on telling Ethan about the power of Faith, which could affect even the strands weaved by Fate.

It was a power that transcended everything, and only those who understood this law used it to their advantage.
