The ladies of the Allied Tribes are very bold,” Lily said with an exasperated look on her face as she recalled memories from the time when she was living in the City of Zentris with Ethan.
"They would not hesitate to grab hold of Ethan’s hand and drag him into their houses, with the excuse that he needed to leave behind his descendants to make their tribe grow stronger.
"I didn’t know how he managed to do it, but he politely declined their offers each time. He also made sure to hold his ground whenever the ladies became too aggressive. Mind you—they are very beautiful girls, and some of them are also seasoned warriors.
"Some even asked me for my help because I was his wife, and they even promised that their tribes would honor me as their ancestor if I agreed to help them.”
"Oh my, that must have been tough,” Agnes commented with a sparkle in her eyes. “So, did any accidents happen? I know that Ethan is a very responsible boy. After all, I raised him that way. But, since these ladies are very aggressive, I’m sure they tried some methods that offered a higher chance of success, no?”
Lily nodded. “Some were very cunning and drugged him with extremely strong aphrodisiacs. But whenever this happened, Ethan would immediately teleport back to the pyramid and endure its effects for hours.
"The frequency of this kind of incident increased a lot after Ethan announced that we would be leaving a few months later. Since it was their last opportunity to gain the bloodline of the Tide Bringer, even the Chieftains tried their best so that Ethan would leave his descendants behind.”
Emma, who was listening to the side, smiled as she voiced her thoughts.
"So, did you help him during the times when he was under the effects of aphrodisiacs?” Emma asked, making all the ladies, with the exception of Nicole, look at Lily with serious looks on their faces.
"Yes,” Lily, who had no intention of hiding anything, replied with a smile. “But even under its effects, Ethan was surprisingly gentle. This is one of the things that I like about him.”Luna, Lilian, and Emma all nodded their heads in understanding.
There were times when Ethan embraced them in a gentle and loving way, but there were also times when he was a little rough with them.
Each had their own preference. But regardless of whether they liked it gentle or hard, one thing was certain.
They would always be in bliss when being embraced by their beloved.
Chloe, who was listening on the side, interjected because there was something that she was very curious about.
"There’s a time when Ethan mentioned that a Princess from the Magdar Kingdom stayed with the two of you due to some circumstances. Can you tell me more about her?”
"Are you referring to Princess Ramona?” Lily inquired.
Chloe nodded. “Yes. That’s the one.”
Lily closed her eyes and sighed softly.
"Ramona is a pitiful child,” Lily said with a tinge of sadness in her voice. “She’s the 12th Princess of the Magdar Kingdom, and she was only eleven years old when we met her.
"Her brothers tried to have her assassinated when they realized that she could potentially threaten their chance to become the next King of their Kingdom.
"She’s an extremely talented Sorceress, and I believe that even if she were to live in our time, she would definitely be hailed as a true prodigy. That’s how amazing she is.”
Lily really liked Ramona.
She treated the princess like a little sister, and Ramona treated her as an older sister.
Back then, Witches were called Shamans or Sorceresses.
There were no wands, and only staves could be used to channel their powers.
The one who taught Ramona magic was Lily since Ethan could only wield magic after they kissed, and even then, the magic would only last in his body for a short time.
Ethan was an only child, and he had always wanted to have a sibling, so he also treated Ramona like a little sister.
Unfortunately, Ramona couldn’t return the familial love that Ethan gave her because she had developed a crush on Ethan.
At that time, the members of the Royal Family could marry even if they were young, so Ramona thought of Ethan as a potential marriage partner.
She didn’t really care that he was already married to Lily.
After all, it had been normalized for men in that era to have more than one wife.
But Ethan firmly and politely rejected Ramona’s proposal because he didn’t plan on staying in the Lands of Alastor for a long time.
Ramona was heartbroken, but she also understood why Ethan rejected her. After all, he already told her the truth.
The truth about not belonging to their current timeline and that he would soon return to the future, leaving the past behind.
"Ramona cried in her room all night,” Lily said. “I was there to comfort her because Ethan asked me to. He was also attached to her, so I know that leaving her behind was painful for him as well.
"Back then, we made sure to guard our hearts, knowing that we could not stay in the lands of Alastor for a long time. We did make friends, but we made sure that we didn’t become too attached to them.
"Ramona was different because she was a lovable girl. There are times when I wonder what would become of her after we left. I’m sure Ethan thinks of her from time to time as well.
"Actually, the two of us discussed this a few days ago. He said that he would ask someone to go to the Magdar Kingdom and search for information about Princess Ramona through their history books.
"If she managed to survive her brother’s schemes, I’m certain that she would have played an important role in her Kingdom.”
Chloe, who had asked the question, sighed because she understood Ethan very much. If he really formed an attachment to someone, he would definitely not be able to sit still, knowing that they might be in danger.
However, he was currently hundreds of years into the future, while Ramona was hundreds of years into the past.
Their timeline would no longer intersect, and it would be impossible for the two of them to meet again.
"I would also become heartbroken if I were in Ramona’s place,” Lilian commented. “Poor girl. I hope that she found a wonderful man who took care of her.”
The other ladies, including Lily, nodded their heads at the same time.
They also hoped that the lovable princess, who had become an important part of Ethan’s life in the past, had lived her life to the fullest.
