Chapter 669 Did You Do Something Bad? [Part 1]

Although he was surprised at this unexpected boon, he also felt grateful because with such creatures guarding the Princess, he would be able to have more peace of mind.

‘I guess I need to report this development to the King as well,’ Ethan thought. ‘There might be problems in the future if the Shadow Rats suddenly appear out of the blue here in the Palace and cause panic. It will be best to avoid misunderstandings.’

However, he didn’t head to see King Baldur right away. The first thing he did was take a nice long bath.

When he was done, he found the two girls waiting for him in the living room because they wanted to have breakfast together.

Both had already changed their clothes, and had just taken a bath as well because their hair was still a bit wet.

The Fairies, on the other hand, were also seated on the table and munching on some candies, which he had left for them before he left the Magdar Kingdom.

“Master, we’re almost out of candies,” Lapis reported as soon as she finished eating.

“Understood.” Ethan nodded. “I’ll give you more later.”

Having heard that their stock of candies would be renewed, the Fairies stopped trying to eat sparingly, and ate to their heart’s content.

Due to the fact that Ethan was unconscious, they had been rationing their remaining supply of candies.

Since Ramona and Joanne had also been added to the list, they made sure that they only ate three pieces of candies for breakfast, lunch, an afternoon snack, and dinner.

Ethan chatted with Joanne and Ramona as they ate, making the atmosphere quite lovely.

Even Joanne, who didn’t even want to talk to her brother in the past, would answer with a word or three when asked a question.

This was already a big improvement, which made Ethan quite happy.

After the breakfast ended, the young man went to see King Baldur, who had also been waiting for him to wake up.

The King was relieved after finding out that the Ratmen were no longer a threat to his kingdom.

However, when Ethan said that the Ratmen were now his subordinates, and were ordered to protect Princess Ramona, King Baldur couldn’t help but smile wryly.

“Is this your way of telling me that if I don’t make Ramona the Queen, you will order the Ratmen to invade my Kingdom and destroy it like what they did to the Lizardmen?”

“No,” Ethan replied. “I don’t really care who becomes the next ruler of this country. All I want is for Ramona to be safe and live a happy life. If that is not possible, I will eliminate anything that stands in the way of her happiness.”

“Is that a proposal for my daughter’s hand in marriage?” King Baldur asked in a teasing tone.

“No,” Ethan replied. “It’s just to remind you that the only one I care for in this Kingdom is Ramona. So, make sure that even if she doesn\'t become the Queen of this kingdom, you will do everything in your power to protect her. Otherwise…”

Ethan didn’t need to finish whatever he was going to say next.

The Ratmen race was a race that could multiply very quickly.

Now that they had become Shadow Rats, although they had lost the ability to carry pestilence and plagues, their ferocity didn’t diminish.

In fact, they held a new kind of danger, which King Baldur understood very well.

The power to use shadows was something that could be exploited in many ways.

After all, if the opponent was a shadow, wouldn’t that mean that they couldn’t trust their own shadows?

“Understood, I will definitely take Ramona’s safety seriously.” King Baldur nodded.

“Good,” Ethan replied. “Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some other matters to take care of.”

The young man didn’t even wait for King Baldur’s reply before he walked out of the room to go back to Princess Ramona’s residence.

Sebastian and his Other Half told him that the two girls had a way of contacting Illumina, so he wanted the two of them to call her.

He wanted to talk to her and ask her a few questions.

Ethan didn’t know if Illumina also existed in his present time, so he decided to meet her now before the Mermaid Princess disappeared without a trace.

However, when he arrived at the residence, he was speechless because the same lady whom he wanted to meet was already there waiting for him.

Illumina was wearing a simple blue dress that highlighted her curves.

The young lady with deep blue hair and eyes, looked at Ethan with a smile, which made him subconsciously swallow due to how enchanting they were.

This wasn’t the first time he was seeing Illumina.

However, the Illumina in front of him was very different from the Illumina that was always with him.

Her charm and beauty were on another level, making even Princess Ramona, who was a girl, blush as she looked at the Mermaid Princess with eyes filled with admiration.

“Ethan Gremory, we need to talk,” Illumina said softly, her voice was like the voice of an angel, soft, silky, and soothing to the ears.

“Okay,” Ethan replied as he walked towards the couch where Illumina was seated, and sat beside her. “I also want to ask you a few questions.”

“Very well, but there are some questions that I can’t answer,” Illumina stated.

Her voice was firm, which meant that she was serious.

Ethan nodded in understanding before glancing at Joanne and Princess Ramona, who were also in the room.

“If possible, I would like to talk in private,” Ethan said, which immediately made Joanne scoff and Princess Ramona to pout.

Joanne crossed her arms over her chest. “I’m not leaving.”

“I’m not leaving as well.” Princess Ramona imitated her best friend, and crossed her arms over her chest as well.

Seeing that the two girls didn’t plan to leave, Ethan sighed and decided to pretend that they weren’t there.

The things that he and Illumina would talk about were personal, but it wouldn’t be a problem if the two girls were to hear their discussion.

“So, my first question, what am I to you?” Ethan asked. “Ramona told us a story that a Mermaid Princess had given the original Tidebringer one of her Rainbow Scales.

“However, what happened after that was a complete mystery. Are you aware that your scale would be used as an ingredient to create this wand?”

Ethan summoned his wand and handed it over to Illumina.

The Mermaid Princess accepted the wand, and held it dearly, as if she was reunited with a long lost friend that she hadn’t seen for hundreds of years.
