The young man understood that the circumstances had forced his mother to do the things she had done—it was not because she didn\'t want him but because it was the only way to save his life.

Catherine became emotional and hugged Ethan tightly. This matter had been one of the things that had been weighing down on her heart for the past eighteen years.

After regaining her composure, she asked Ethan if he wanted to meet his father.

Ethan agreed, but he said that he would need to leave Caer Wydion in a week.

He also invited Catherine to come with him to the Shire Continent and meet his grandparents, as well as attend his wedding with Lily.

Catherine naturally agreed. There had much to say to Agnes and Benjamin, who had raised her son.

Also, she wanted to meet the other ladies whom Ethan had chosen to become his lovers.

While there were still battles being waged in the Lands of Saraqael, their Faction was faring better than most, so she could afford to spend a few months with her son and daughter.

After her talk with Ethan, Catherine immediately looked for her husband, who was probably hiding somewhere in the castle.

She found him at the castle\'s treasury, looking for something he could give Ethan as a gift for reuniting with their family.

"He\'s leaving in a week?" Lleu frowned after hearing his wife\'s explanation.

"Yes," Catherine replied. "You should talk to him before he leaves. Also, I will be accompanying him to meet his grandparents and attend his wedding to one of his lovers."

"I understand." Lleu nodded. "I\'ll talk to him before he leaves."

The handsome man with long black hair and red eyes hugged his wife and whispered in her ears.

"Don\'t worry about the Lands of Saraqael, and just spend time with our son," Lleu whispered. "You\'ve worked so hard over the years, so you deserve a break. I\'ll make sure that our enemies will not be able to break past our defenses.

"Besides, Vincent and Father are still there. They won\'t dare to attack unless they want us to raid their lands."

Catherine nodded because this was indeed the case.

She was thankful for Lleu and Vincent\'s father. As long as he was standing guard, their enemies wouldn\'t do anything reckless.

That was how powerful he was.

After talking for a few more minutes, Catherine helped her husband look for a treasure Ethan could take back with him to the Shire Continent.

While the two were busy free-shopping in the Treasury, Ethan was helping his sister braid her hair.

Joanne suddenly wanted her hair to be braided, and Ethan was more than happy to do her hair for her.

Princess Ramona had asked Ethan to braid her hair back in the Lands of Alastor.

Ethan\'s sister asked for the hairstyle that Princess Ramona had.

Joanne was a very beautiful girl, so she looked good in any kind of hairstyle.

After Ethan had finished braiding his sister\'s hair the way she requested it, the two of them looked at the mirror and smiled.

"Thank you, brother," Joanne said. "Now, I really feel like Ramona is still with me."

"You\'re welcome," Ethan replied.

He knew that his sister was still worried about her best friend, who had gone on a journey after stepping down from her position as Saintess.

While waiting for Ethan to return to the present, Wallace, Enzo, and Fortuna bought tomes about the history of the Magdar Kingdom, as well as the story of the Tidebringer.

Historians during that time had recorded everything, so they discovered why Ethan\'s picture frame was inside the temple and why Joanne had a huge statue built in her honor.

But the one that piqued their interest the most was none other than Princess Ramona, who had created the Order of the Tidebringer.

They tried to look for any information about her, but the records they found only recorded up to the time when she stepped down from her position and went on a journey.

Some said that the Tidebringer returned and took her with him to his homeland, where they lived happily ever after.

Others said that she left to look for a Sea Witch and asked for the latter\'s help so that she could see the Tidebringer again.

There were many stories surrounding Princess Ramona, and all of them were about her going on a journey to find the Tidebringer.

Some of these stories had happy endings.

While some had sad endings.

There was even a story where the princess turned into a fish and went to search for the Tidebringer until she turned into a sea foam.

Having also read these stories during their journey back to Caer Wydion, Joanne felt sad. As someone related to the characters of those stories, she knew more than anyone that none of the happy endings written in the stories didn\'t happen.

Her best friend was not in their current timeline, although she wished that were the case. That way, the two of them could be together again, and go on more amazing adventures together.

"Brother, do you really think that Ramona ended up like those sad endings in the storybooks?" Joanne asked as she looked up at her brother with a sad expression on her face.

"Of course not," Ethan replied before giving his sister a hug. "Illumina and the Ratmen were there for her, so those sad endings could not possibly happen."

"But her turning into a fish to look for you might be possible. After all, Illumina might be the Sea Witch written in those stories."

"Shhh. Don\'t say such things," Ethan raised a finger and pressed it over his lips. "She\'s definitely listening. She might pinch you for calling her a Sea Witch if she were to know about it."

Joanne giggled because she agreed with her brother.

The Mermaid Princess wouldn\'t want people calling her a Sea Witch.

She was also the type to carry grudges, and this was something that Ethan and Joanne found out during one of their travels with her.

Illumina might be kind and generous, but she could also be very petty at times.

Especially when it came to things that were connected to Ethan.

Somewhere in the Lands of Alastor…

"Saintess, our preparations are complete," a Ratmen bowed respectfully to the young lady, who was sitting on a chair, looking at the sea.

"Very good," the young lady replied. "You may go and attend to your other duties."

"Yes, My Lady." The Ratmen then merged with the shadows and disappeared from the room.

Suddenly, a song reverberated in the surroundings, making the Saintess smile.

"I know," the young lady said softly. "You\'re such a worrywart."

The song increased in intensity, which made the young lady giggle.

"Fine, I will do as you say." the Saintess shook her head helplessly. "But there\'s really no need to hurry. He\'s not going anywhere, you know?"

The song ended on a happy note, which made the young lady smile.

From somewhere far out into the sea, the corner of the Mermaid Princess\' lips twitched because a naughty little girl, thousands of miles away from her had called her a Sea Witch and thought that she could get away with it.
