Chapter 655 A Meeting In The Sea [Part 1]
“Talking with you, My Lady, is an amazing experience,” the First Prince of the Magdar Kingdom said with a smile.
“I agree with you wholeheartedly, brother.” The third Prince of the Kingdom, Prince Myles, nodded. “Lady Joanne is truly an exceptional lady.”
Ethan’s sister only smiled when she heard the praises of the two Princes.
She had successfully charmed them an hour ago. At that time, they were discussing the different factions supporting the Princes from the shadows.
Now that the Four Top Contenders, aside from Princess Ramona, were already under her thumb, her friend would no longer be in danger of being targeted by the likes of them.
At the moment, they were discussing the upcoming party, where she would meet the High-Ranking Officials, as well as the influential people in the Kingdom.
Once she gained control of these people, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the entirety of the Kingdom would be under her command.
However, there was a certain group of people that might pose a risk to her plan, and that group was none other than the Council of Sorcerers.
It was an organization of Sorcerers in the Magdar Kingdom, similar to the Magistratus of the Shire Continent.
Joanne’s Other Half was confident that she could charm them as well, but she didn’t want to take that risk.
Some of these Sorcerers were supporting the Prince of their choice to be the next King, and their influence was considerable as well.
Ever since the Sixth Prince was exiled by the King, the Sorcerers had cautiously taken a step back because King Baldur had announced that any attempt to harm Ramona would anger the Tidebringer.
They might be powerful Sorcerers, but none of them wished to antagonize a Deity who could command the entirety of the Lands of Alastor to hunt them down.
“Make sure to not invite the Sorcerers to the party,” Joanne ordered after she placed her teacup on the table. “I don’t want those annoying men ruining my welcoming party.”
“Of course, Lady Joanne,” Prince Dylan replied.
“We will not let them ruin your special night, My Lady,” Prince Myles nodded.
“We will place guards to prevent them from entering the venue,” Prince Rufus stated.
“If they attempt to gatecrash, I’ll make sure to put in a word to Father about it,” Prince Amir declared.
Joanne nodded. “Good. The party is in two days. Have you already prepared everything?”
However, her sleep wasn’t as good as the times when she had been hugging her brother.
“Lady Joanne, is something wrong?” Prince Amir asked. “You dazed out for a moment.”
“I’m fine,” Joanne sighed before standing up. “I’ll go back to Ramona’s residence. All of you return to your duties as Princes of the Kingdom.”
“““Yes, My Lady.”””
After leaving Prince Amir’s residence, Joanne’s Other Half praised her for a job well done.
‘So, what do you plan to do after the party?’ Joanne’s Other Half asked. ‘Our brother said that it will take a few months before we can return to the present.’
‘What else?’ Joanne asked back. ‘Train Ramona, and maybe go out for a picnic from time to time.’
‘A picnic is a good idea,’ Joanne’s Other Half commented. ‘Also, it will be a shame if we don’t do some sightseeing here in the Magdar Kingdom. Aren’t you curious about what a Kingdom from the past looks like?’
‘What’s there to see?’ Joanne replied. ‘It’s just some farms, muddy roads, monsters, bandits, and tribes. There’s nothing good to see aside from some beautiful scenery from nature.’
‘Well, that’s true. But, there is one more thing that we can do.’
‘And that is?’
‘Maybe talk to the Mermaid who always observes us whenever we are on the balcony?
The young lady stopped walking after hearing her Other Half’s words.
‘There’s a Mermaid?’ Joanne asked. ‘Why didn’t you tell me sooner? I’ve never seen a Mermaid before.’
‘Well, this is a good opportunity to meet her,’ Joanne’s Other Half smirked. ‘She’s secretly observing brother from afar. If not for the fact that I’m very sensitive to such gazes, I wouldn’t have been able to detect her.’
‘Is she around right now?’
‘Let’s go to the balcony first. I’ll know once we’re facing the sea.’
The young lady hastened her pace as she headed back to Princess Ramona’s residence.
She had long wanted to meet a Mermaid, whom she often read tales about in books.
Since there was a perfect opportunity to meet one, she would definitely not miss this chance!
