Chapter 632 Is She Your Daughter?
Dainsleif had used the power of gravity to neutralize the immediate threats that had tried to attack his Master.
Of course, he made himself invisible, for Ethan had forbidden him to show his true form out in the open.
“Is that really you, Ethan?”
A girl with long brown hair and brown eyes looked at the young man in disbelief. She never thought that she would see him again in her life.
“Princess Ramona?” Ethan called out with an uncertain tone. Just like the Princess, he was also doubting whether there was something wrong with his eyes or not.
After hearing the young man mention her name, the 12th Princess of the Magdar Kingdom didn’t hesitate to cry out and jump into his arms.
Ethan had no choice but to temporarily release his hold on his sister, in order to catch the Princess, who was now sobbing in his embrace.
“I thought I would never see you again,” Princess Ramona said as tears fell from her eyes. “I returned to the City of Zentris after half a year, but you and Lily were no longer there. I asked the Allied Tribes, but they said that you have returned to the future.”
The girl’s pained sobs made Ethan sigh internally. He then patted her head in order to help calm her down.
Unfortunately, it had the opposite effect, and Princess Ramona only cried harder.
“Where are we?” Joanne, who didn’t care about the touching scene in front of her, asked with a frown. “Do you know these people?”
“Yes,” Ethan replied as he continued to pat the head of the crying Princess in his arms. “We have traveled back in time, and we\'re currently in the Magdar Kingdom.”
“Hah?” The frown on Joanne’s face deepened after hearing Ethan’s reply. “This is no time to make a joke. We need to return to Caer Wydion as soon as possible. Why must I be stuck in the same place as you? I’m not even supposed to take this trial.”
“Calm down, Joanne,” Ethan looked at his surroundings in order to better assess the situation. “This is no time for internal conflict. Even if you were to return to Caer Wydion, we are trapped hundreds of years in the past.
“You’re not even born at this time. Take your time to assess the situation first, alright? There are no Protector Clans here to protect you. One mistake, and you will be trapped here forever.”
It took a while for Joanne to fully comprehend what Ethan was talking about.
After remembering that the River of Okeanos not only traveled around the world but could also traverse space and time, the spoiled girl’s face became grim.
“T-Then, what should we do?” Joanne stuttered. “We should head back to the future and return to Caer Wydion as soon as we can.”
Seeing his sister start to panic, Ethan couldn’t help but feel sorry for her.
Having experienced it firsthand, he understood how difficult it was to accept being stuck in a place not only thousands of miles away from home but also separated from your current timeline by hundreds of years.
“Don’t worry. There is a way for us to travel back to our time,” Ethan said in order to reassure his sister that everything was going to be fine. “For now, just calm down.”
Ten minutes later, Princess Ramona finally regained her calm and invited Ethan and Joanne to her private quarters on the ship, where the three of them could talk.
According to the Princess of the Magdar Kingdom, it had been six months since she had seen him and Lily in the City of Zentris.
This meant that not a lot of time had passed since they had left, so the people of Zentris would surely remember him if he returned.
‘Since we are here, then returning to the present is not a problem,’ Sebastian stated. ‘But, I will need to focus on gathering a huge amount of magical power in order to send you and your sister back to the present.
‘Should I start saving magic now? Let me just warn you that while I am in this mode, I will not be able to help you in any way. If you try to summon me in your Celestial Domain, the magic I have saved will be used up, and I will have to start again from scratch.’
Ethan didn’t even need to think before replying to Sebastian’s warning.
‘Start saving magic now, Sebastian,’ Ethan replied. ‘Our priority is to return to the present.’
‘I understand,’ Sebastian commented. ‘I will now go into Magic Saving Mode. You can still talk to me anytime, but anything more than that is beyond me.’
Ethan nodded in understanding.
“Ethan, who is this girl?” Princess Ramona asked. “Is she your daughter with Lily? The two of you look similar.”
“Excuse me?” Joanne arched an eyebrow. “I am not this man’s daughter.”
“She’s my sister, Joanne,” Ethan replied. “Joanne, this is Princess Ramona from the Magdar Kingdom. I hope that the two of you can get along and become good friends.”
“Hmph! Why should I get along with this girl?” Joanne complained before changing the subject. “Since the two of you know each other, does this mean that this is not your first time traveling to the past?”
“I’ve been here before,” Ethan replied. “And if my guess is right, it will take us some time to return to the future.”
“How long are we talking about?” Joanne inquired.
“Months,” Ethan answered. “Maybe even more than a year.”
“… More than a year?”
“Mmm. But, you don’t have to worry about the time difference. Even if we stay here for a year, I have a way that will allow us to return to the present, with just a month passing after we fell into the river.”
Joanne could tell that Ethan wasn’t lying and that the confidence in his voice was real.
This meant that they really would be able to return to the present no matter how long they stayed in the past.
“Just treat this as a vacation,” Ethan stated. “You’ve been cooped up in Caer Wydion for a long time, right? Sometimes, a change in scenery will allow you to learn many different things. It might even be helpful in raising the proficiency of your magic.”
Princess Ramona, who was sitting on Ethan’s lap, looked at Joanne calmly.
However, she was anything but calm.
After seeing her first crush appear in front of her again, she was thinking about how she wanted to spend this miraculous time with him and get to know Ethan’s sister, who seemed to hate her brother just as much as Princess Ramona hated her own brothers.
Princess Ramona didn’t know why Joanne hated Ethan, but she wished to know more about him through her, and with it, she hoped that Joanne would become her best friend, which was something that she currently didn’t have in her life.
