Chapter 706 A Token Of Love

Two days had passed since Ethan returned with the crystals that would be used to craft the rings for his lovers.

Everyone was in a festive mood, and Seff made sure that the preparations for his daughter’s wedding were perfect.

In the past, there were Beastkins who were dissatisfied with Ethan’s marriage with the Beast King’s daughter, but now, there were none.

Ethan’s performance during the surprise battle when he arrived showed everyone that Seff’s son-in-law wasn’t a pushover.

And perhaps, with his bloodline mixing with that of the Beast King’s daughter, a new era for their Clan would come to fruition.

Joanne and Colt had become inseparable and were always together.

The Flying Squirrel liked Joanne’s bold and strong personality because these were the traits it lacked.

Colt also became Joanne’s talkative companion, given that he was more than happy to tell her stories about the time when it was still traveling the Shire Continent with its previous Master.

Ethan had a private talk with Joanne and told her not to mention anything about the Crystal Colossi, Zogerass, because it would make Colt sad.

Not wanting to see the cute little squirrel unhappy, Joanne did her best to not ask questions about Colt’s Master and simply allowed the little guy to tell his tales, which she found quite exciting to hear.

Ethan didn’t tell his sister that Colt was actually a very powerful beast whose strength was on par with that of the Dragon King.

The main reason why he didn’t tell her was because he didn’t know how Joanne would react to this information. In his sister's eyes, Colt was just a cute and adorable creature that needed to be protected.

Also, he had a feeling that Colt didn’t want anyone to know about its powers.

Even in its stories, the Flying Squirrel never mentioned anything about fighting against powerful creatures. It simply highlighted the Crystal Colossi’s strength to its new friend.

“The wedding will happen in ten days,” Seff said to his future son-in-law. “I have sent word to the other clans about my daughter’s wedding, and I expect them to arrive before the day of your marriage.”

“Understood, Father,” Ethan replied.

Seff nodded his head in satisfaction before whispering something in Ethan’s ear.

“I don’t know how Gilbert will react after learning about your background,” Seff whispered. “And frankly, I don’t really care. However, it will be best if you talk to him in private because it might cause trouble for your lover, Lilian.”

“Too bad you didn’t buy her one until the very end,” Joanne commented. “It would have been something she’d cherish all her life.”

“It would’ve also been a shackle that kept her from being happy.” Ethan sighed.

Joanne didn’t agree or disagree with Ethan’s words. She simply handed the bracelet back to him and asked him to put it on her wrist.

Ethan obediently complied, seeing that his sister was looking a bit sad after the bracelet reminded her of her best friend.

With a resounding click, the bracelet changed its size to perfectly fit Joanne’s small wrist.

At that exact moment, a refreshing feeling washed over her body, making her sigh in contentment.

“This bracelet sure is nice,” Joanne commented. “It feels like... you’re always with me, Brother.”

“Isn’t that good?” Ethan arched an eyebrow.

“I guess you can say that,” Joanne smiled before giving Ethan a hug. “Thank you, Brother.”

“You’re welcome.” Ethan hugged his sister back and patted her head.

What Joanne didn’t know was that Ethan had given Ramona a bracelet in secret. At that time, Joanne was taking a nap.

He wasn’t aware that the Magdar Kingdom had this kind of tradition and thought that it wouldn’t be bad to give the princess a gift before they left.

The Princess had thanked him back then with a reddened face.

However, instead of wearing the bracelet, Princess Ramona stored it properly and treated it as one of her most important treasures.

Perhaps the Princess had known that Joanne would tease her if she noticed that her best friend was wearing a bracelet.

To prevent that from happening, Princess Ramona only wore the bracelet after Ethan and Joanne returned to the future.

It was also because of that same bracelet that the followers of the Order of the Tidebringer treated her as not only their Deity’s Saintess but also his lover.

The bracelet also deterred any would-be suitors from asking her hand for marriage.

Since their Deity had already claimed her as his woman, even the King of the Magdar Kingdom didn’t dare to matchmake Princess Ramona to the Princes of other Royal Families, and allowed her to do whatever she pleased as the Saintess of the Order of the Tidebringer.
