YM778.TV Chapter 672: I’ll Miss You A Little
Months passed.
Ethan had spent his days going on adventures with Illumina, under the sea and on land.
At first they were just short trips. But overtime, these trips would sometimes last for days on end.
Sometimes, they would just venture with only the two of them, but there were also many occasions when they brought Joanne and Princess Ramona with them in their adventures.
For Joanne and Princess Ramona, who were always cooped up in the castle, the beautiful sights and sceneries that they saw were a marvel to behold.
While Illumina didn\'t bring them to the Mermaid Kingdoms, she did bring them to places that were truly beautiful that could only be found under the sea.
The luminous coral garden that could be found at the bottom of the sea, was a spectacular sight, which truly impressed Joanne and Princess Ramona.
Giant Sea Monsters and gentle sea creatures, who allowed the humans to ride their backs, gave them a surreal experience.
This was something that the two little girls would probably not experience again in their lives, so Illumina made sure to only take them to the best spots that she knew of.
These adventures took several days, sometimes even weeks.
King Baldur, who didn\'t need to worry about Princess Ramona\'s safety in the palace, was also happy that his daughter was able to travel alongside the Tidebringer, who would protect her no matter what.
Of course, these adventures were not only limited to the sea.
Since Illumina could also travel on land, they would visit other Kingdoms to try different foods, and learn new customs from them.
Since the three ladies were beautiful, Ethan proposed that they wear disguises, so that they wouldn\'t be targeted by unnecessary troublemakers.
Fortunately, Illumina and Joanne knew some illusion magic, allowing them to tweak their faces, making themselves plain looking.
Of course, they did the same for Ethan and Princess Ramona, so no one paid too much attention to them during their journeys to the Human Kingdoms.
The more they traveled together, the stronger their bonds grew.
Joanne no longer referred to Ethan as You, Him, and That Guy, and properly called him brother.
Of course, this only happened after three months of their travels because Illumina, Princess Ramona, and Joanne\'s Other Half, were all working together to make the brother and sister become closer with each other.
Their hard work paid off, so although Joanne still couldn\'t fully express her familial feelings to him, she now allowed him to hold her hand whenever they were taking a stroll in the city.
They even stopped caring who King Baldur would choose to become the next Crown Prince or Crown Princess.
All of them enjoyed their time with each other because for them, the limited time that they could spend together was very precious.
"Are they asleep?" Illumina asked as soon as the door of her and Ethan\'s room in the inn opened.
"Yes," Ethan replied. "Both of them are very tired after dancing with the other children at the Harvest Festival."
Illumina smiled after hearing the young man\'s words.
"They really had fun today, didn\'t they?" Illumina inquired.
Ethan nodded. "They sure did."
The young man then sat down on the bed before blowing on the lamp light to extinguish it.
The faint light of the moonlight that seeped through their window was enough for him to see in the dark.
He took off his shirt, as well as his pants before lying on the bed.
Illumina also removed her clothes, and cuddled with him, feeling his warmth, which she would surely miss for a few hundred years.
The two of them would often sleep like this, while holding each other\'s body.
They didn\'t do anything past that.
The two of them also didn\'t share kisses between them.
It was like they had a silent understanding that whatever they wished to do, they would do it in the present, when they were reunited again.
For now, they were fine like this.
Both of them trusted each other, which was why Illumina took the initiative to ask for this skinship whenever it was possible.
At first, Ethan was feeling anxious about it because Illumina was a very gorgeous and sexy lady.
Fortunately, he was no longer the innocent young man back then, so he was able to resist her charms, and the softness that he held every night.
Illumina was quite surprised by Ethan\'s willpower because not everyone could resist the charm of a mermaid.
As for being held while she was naked, she didn\'t feel embarrassed about it because mermaids, in general, didn\'t really wear anything to cover their bodies.
She only wore clothes because she didn\'t want other people to see her body, which was something that she only wanted Ethan to see.
Even so, she suspected that Ethan was only able to act the way he did because he had plenty of experience with beautiful women.
She just found it a shame because she wasn\'t able to see Ethan\'s flustered expression, as he held a naked lady for the first time in his life.
"Three more months, right?" Illlumina asked softly.
"Yes," Ethan replied.
King Baldur would make his announcement for who would inherit the throne in three months\' time.
That was also the time when Ethan and Joanne would return to the present, where they belonged.
"Ramona will definitely miss you and Joanne."
"Only Ramona? How about you?"
"I\'ll miss you a little."
Illumina hugged Ethan a little tighter. "Hey, tell me more about your Magic Academy. Also, you still haven\'t told me what year you belong to in the future."
"Joanne lives in Caer Wydion, and I am staying in Brynhildr Magic Academy which is located in Eastshire of the Shire Continent," Ethan replied. "The school year has just ended, so when I return, I will become a Second Year in the academy.
"The year is 1826 of the Asgardian Calendar. My Grandmother\'s name is Agnes Gremory. My grandfather\'s name is Benjamin Gremory, and my adoptive father\'s name is Wallace Gremory…"
Ethan told Illumina everything that happened to him in the past, including how he met his lovers.
At first, he thought that Illumina would get angry, but she listened attentively as if memorizing the names, and the descriptions of the girls who were now part of Ethan\'s life.
He continued to talk until a yawn escaped his lips.
"Let\'s stop for the night," Illumina said as she lightly patted Ethan\'s cheek. "Let\'s talk more about your life tomorrow."
"Mmm." Ethan nodded and closed his eyes, falling asleep after only a few seconds.
Illumina continued to gaze at Ethan\'s sleeping face for a while.
Although she was a little sad that they only had a few months to be together, she was also looking forward to their next meeting, which would happen after hundreds of years.
She didn\'t know what she would be like by then, but she was certain that if there was an opportunity to meet Ethan, she would make that happen.
Right now, she was just trying to know everything about him, so it would be easier to find him when the time came.
"1826 of the Asgardian Calendar…," Illumina said softly. "I better finish tying up all of the loose ends before that time comes."
The Mermaid Princess then snuggled closer to Ethan before closing her eyes to sleep.
Today was another wonderful day, and she hoped that when she opened her eyes in the morning, she would once again have a memorable day, with the person who held the other piece of her heart.
