Chapter 980: A Cold And Dreamless Sleep [Part 1]

Ethan lay on the bed, all his lovers nestled against his body.Princess Ramona clung onto him from the right and Emma from his left, while Lilian lay on top of him.

The three ladies slept peacefully, with satisfied looks on their faces.

While he didn't go all the way with Princess Ramona and Emma, he still made sure that they were satisfied both in reality and in their dreams.

Only Lilian, who for the first time, lasted for three rounds, slept soundly on top of him.

Looking at the clock on the wall, it was only six in the evening. The sun had just set, and Ethan felt that it was about time that he woke his sleeping lovers so that they could wash up a bit before they all had dinner together.

The young man gently shook his lovers awake, making them open their eyes.

Their youthful naked bodies were enticing to any man, but they would only show it off to their beloved. S~eaʀᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

It took all of Ethan's willpower to stop himself from going for another round with his lovers, whom he hadn't embraced for several weeks.

If not for the fact that the Fomorians would be arriving in a few days, he would love to take all of them to a deserted island and spend a few days in each other's company.

An hour later, Ethan and his lovers emerged from the Atlantean Ship.

Joanne, Illumina, Princess Wilhelmina, and Princess Ariel, who were only a dozen of meters away from the ship, noticed them right away.

Joanne even looked at her best friend, Princess Ramona, with a mischievous smile on her face, making the latter blush.

"Brother, you look very satisfied," Joanne said with a smile. "Pray tell, what wonderful event transpired to make you smile like that, My Lord?"

Ethan lightly patted his sister's head, not even bothering to answer her question.

Illumina stood up and looked at the young ladies who would become her sisters from this moment onward.

Princess Ariel, on the other hand, observed Ethan's lovers. Although they were beautiful in their own right, their beauty still paled compared to her, Illumina, and Princess Wilhelmina, who were the Mermaid Princesses of the sea.

The only thing that these ladies had as an advantage over them was their youthful charm, which was something that she and the two other Mermaid Princesses didn't possess.

"Oh, I almost forgot. George was looking for you earlier," Joanne reported. "But when I told him that you're currently busy watering the fields, his face immediately turned dark. He then stormed off mumbling things like, 'This traitor has betrayed the brotherhood,' or something along those lines."

Joanne then giggled before grabbing Ethan's hand and swaying it left and right, acting like a spoiled child.

"What is that Brotherhood he is talking about?" Joanne asked. "Are you part of some kind of hidden organization or something?"

"That's just part of George's nonsense," Ethan replied. "I don't remember signing up or joining any Cult as of late. That said, aren't you hungry? I'm starving."

"You're still hungry after eating Ramona and the others up?" Joanne asked in a teasing tone, while her eyes turned purple. "Then I guess some seafood might be in order?"

The young lady then glanced at Princess Wilhelmina, who subconsciously took a step back due to Joanne's piercing gaze.

"My mischievous little sister," Ethan whispered in Joanne's ears. "No taking over Joanne's body out of the blue."

Joanne stuck up her tongue before hugging Ethan and burying her head on his chest.

The Succubus side of Joanne had asked the young man to treat her as a separate little sister in the past.

Because of this, whenever she came out, she would ask to be pampered by her brother.

"I asked for permission," Joanne said after a minute had passed. "Charging complete. I'll come out again next time."

Joanne's Other Half returned control of their body over to Joanne. But just like her, Joanne was reluctant to pull away from Ethan's hug.

A few minutes later, they returned to the ship, where they all ate dinner together.

After the meal, Ethan looked for Nicole, who seemed to have disappeared the moment they arrived.

Due to the pressing issues that he had to deal with, he hadn't been able to talk to her earlier.

However, he noticed that the young lady seemed to have gotten colder and had a certain feeling of aloofness that wasn't there before.

Ethan believed that her Legacy was merely acting up, making her turn that way.

But after searching for her in the camp of the students from Brynhildr Academy, not even a shadow of her could be seen.

George looked at Ethan in contempt while hugging Sabrina close to him. He even made sure to kiss Sabrina's cheek when the young man looked in his direction, as if telling him that he was not the only one with a beautiful lady by his side.

However, Ethan had no idea about what George was thinking, so he walked in his direction to ask if they had seen Nicole.

"I saw her an hour after we arrived," George replied. "But I haven't seen her since then. How about you, My Darling?"

"I haven't seen her either," Sabrina answered. "But Nicole seems different from before. Just being near her makes me feel anxious. It's like… she's no longer the person I once knew."

Ethan frowned when he heard her words, making him feel slightly anxious.

"Anyway, maybe you should ask Professor Barret," George commented. "Maybe he knows where she is."

Ethan nodded and thanked the two before looking for the Professor.

Unlike Nicole, Professor Barret was easy to find since he was making rounds within the Brynhildr Academy camp.

"I think I saw her going in that direction," Professor Barret said, pointing toward the Eastern side of the camp. "But be careful, Ethan. I sense a great power within her. Something that I've never felt before.

"It feels as cold as death, and as slippery as ice. Tread carefully. She may no longer be the Nicole you knew before you left the academy."

Professor Barret had interacted with Nicole during their journey. Given his high Rank, he was very sensitive to such things.

His sixth sense was also telling him that it would be best to not poke the hornet's nest while the latter was being peaceful.

"I'll take your advice to heart, Professor," Ethan replied. "I'll go look for her now."

Ethan summoned his Wind Dancer and took off to the skies.

It would be easier for him to spot the young lady from the skies. Even though it was a moonless night, Ethan was still able to see clearly as if it was day.

After nearly half an hour of searching, he found a lone figure standing over a cliff, overlooking the sea.

Even from a distance, Ethan could recognize her figure, so he didn't hesitate to descend from the sky and meet his best friend, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

Nicole, who seemed to have sensed Ethan's presence, glanced in his direction.

The corner of her lips curled up into a faint smile, and her eyes glowed faintly for a brief moment before returning to their original colors.

She had a feeling that Ethan would come looking for her, so she decided to find a secluded place, where the two of them could talk alone.

Of course, that wasn't the only reason why she chose a secluded place for their meeting.

Somewhere inside Nicole's Sea of Consciousness, a young lady lay inside an ice coffin, bound by icy chains, making her fall into a cold and dreamless sleep.
