Chapter 611: A Will Eternal [Part 1]

"Meet me in the forest at midnight," Wallace said. "We will continue our talk later."

Ethan frowned but he still nodded in understanding.

He didn't know what his father wanted to talk to him about in the middle of the night, but he fully believed that the man in front of him wasn't someone who did things without a reason.

Although he wasn't always around, he would tell Ethan many stories about his travels and would also give him good advice.

The young man watched as his father entered the house with a steady gaze. A year ago, he wouldn't have been able to see the tell-tale signs of someone who knew how to wield magic.

But now, he understood.

His adoptive father was a Wizard and a very strong one at that.

He found it quite ironic that he only managed to see these signs after being part of that world.

A world that was hidden from the Ordinarius, who lived their lives thinking that Wizards, and Witches, could only be seen in Fairy Tales.

'Your family is interesting, Ethan,' Sebastian commented before glancing at his partner in crime, who was staying silent by his side. "Did you already know?"

'I've been with Ethan since he was just a baby,' Ethan's Other Half commented. 'Of course, I knew.'

'Then why didn't you tell me?' Ethan asked.

'You didn't ask. But, since you want me to tell you, I'll say it to you upfront,' Ethan's Other Half replied. 'You're a Wizard, Harry.'

'Who's Harry?' Sebastian blinked in confusion.

Ethan, on the other hand, only shook his head helplessly. His Other Half was obviously teasing him.

Just now, the other party mentioned that he had been with him since he was a baby. A question appeared inside his head, which he didn't hesitate to ask his Other Half.

'Why didn't you try to talk to me in the past?' Ethan inquired. 'Since you've been with me from the start, why didn't you at least make your presence known?'

'Why should I?' Ethan's Other Half scoffed. 'The old you would have been terrified and probably think that you were being haunted by a ghost. You might even tell your Grandma that you're hearing things inside of your head, and she might think that you've gone crazy.

'Not to mention that your adoptive father is a powerful Wizard. If I weren't careful, he might have sealed me away, which would've been the worst possible outcome.

'In the end, I decided that it wasn't worth it and chose to endure seventeen years of watching a stupid boy grow up.'

Sebastian chuckled after seeing the bitter look on his partner in crime's face, which made him wonder just how goofy Ethan was as a child.

When he first met the young man, he was still a boy in his eyes.

This was something to be expected from a sentient being who had been alive for hundreds of years.

'Aww, man. Now I wish I could have seen little Ethan grow up." Sebastian grumbled.

'Don't bother,' Ethan's Other Half shrugged. 'I needed to hibernate from time to time because I wasn't able to handle how naive he was back then.'

Ethan sighed because he also realized how ignorant and naive he was back then.

After chatting with his two critics, he returned inside the house, only to be dragged back outside by Emma and Lily, who whispered in his ears that it was their turn to have intimate moments with him.

Seeing him go, Chloe and Nicole glanced at each other, with the latter giving the former a smirk.

"Not going to join them?" Nicole asked.

"No," Chloe replied. "I'll just be a killjoy if I join them."

The young lady with long brown hair had already told everyone that she would leave in an hour to visit her family for two days before returning to Ethan's home.

She missed her parents and knew that they were worried about her, so she decided to return home.

Seeing that everyone seemed a bit busy, Nicole decided to take a stroll around the farm house for a bit.

Ethan's hometown was very peaceful, which made her feel strange.

She had been feeling lost as of late because she didn't know what to do with her life.

Her goal to become the Matriarch of the Asta Family seemed trivial at this point, and she had long stopped caring about who would lead the Asta Family after Oscar had stepped down from his position.

Her mother was currently in a magical hospital, which was founded by Queen Evane. S~eaʀᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Because of this, she was given the best accommodation despite being in a comatose state.

Nicole's mother had been in that state for nearly three years. Her examination results reflected that there was really nothing wrong with her body.

Yet, for some reason, she was still unable to wake up.

Nicole could still remember that fateful day when the Legacy that she accidentally acquired flared up, making her feel extremely cold.

Her mother, whose name was Megan, was a sickly lady.

But seeing that her daughter was suffering, she hugged Nicole to sleep because was shivering non-stop.

Nicole, who was feeling cold at that time, felt relieved because her mother's warmth calmed her down.

However, when she woke up the next day, her mother was as pale as a candle and refused to wake up no matter how many times she tried to wake her up.

In the end, Queen Evane heard the news and ordered her close friend to be transferred to the hospital, which she had founded using her own money.

Even after being diagnosed by many magical experts, no one was able to determine what had happened to Megan.

Only Nicole knew what had happened, but she was too young and too afraid to say that she might have been the cause of her mother's current condition.

During one of the nights when she cried in her bed, she heard a voice inside of her head.

"Your mother will recover once you master my Legacy. Until then, she will continue to sleep with no signs of waking up."

That voice came from a lady who called herself Baradiel.

A Colossi who once reigned the cold north before her icy heart shattered into pieces because of a mortal who had betrayed her trust.
