Chapter 813: Kissing A ‘Happily Ever After’ Goodbye



Ever since Hecate was born, she had been obsessed with a recurring dream that she had from time to time.

In that dream, she saw a Princess that was loved by many.

Unfortunately, a Witch had put a curse on her, making her fall asleep for eternity.

Many tried to find her, and yet, they all fell before they arrived at her resting place.

But one day, a handsome prince with long blue hair and blue eyes overcame the trials and arrived where she lay.

He then gave her a kiss so sweet that it broke the curse and finally woke her up from her slumber.

Hecate didn't know why she kept on having that recurring dream.

She had seen the Prince many times in her dreams, and yet, she couldn't remember what he looked like after waking up.

Still, she believed that she would know when that same thing happened to her.

'I think I found my Prince,' Hecate thought as the handsome young man, who was lying beside her just moments ago, pressed his lips over hers and kissed her affectionately.

She didn't know how a simple exchange of "good morning" led to such a development. But she wasn't complaining.

When Ethan kissed her last night to recharge his magic reserves, the final puzzle piece that had been missing in Hecate's mind had fallen into place.

Fractured memories had flowed inside her mind, telling her what she needed to know.

But these memories were incomplete, and now, she understood why.

Ethan's kiss washed away all the remnants of sleep inside her head, replacing it with a certainty that she had been born for this moment.

When their kiss ended, she took the initiative to kiss him back as if what he had given her wasn't enough.

No.

It wasn't enough.

How could a single kiss compensate for a lifetime of regret?

How could a single kiss compensate for a lifetime of heartbreak? How could a single kiss compensate for a sacrifice made out of love?

But Hecate knew that they had just arrived at the starting point.

This Fairy Tale was far from the happy end that she hoped for.

The storyteller who was supposed to say "And they lived happily ever after" was nowhere to be seen.

The reason?

Because the story was not yet complete.

As Hecate pulled back and gazed into Ethan's eyes brimming with guilt and sadness, she couldn't help but cup his face and plant a kiss on his forehead.

"Ask," Hecate said firmly.

She only said one word.

Ethan used his fingers to lightly brush the tears that were threatening to fall on the side of Hecate's eyes.

"Well, she's not wrong," Ethan replied. "You said that she shares your senses right? She can

see what you see, and hear what you hear?

"Yes," Hecate nodded.

"Good." Ethan's face changed to one of determination. "Hecate, I'm coming for you. So make sure to keep Ramona's soul safe."

The young lady's body trembled for a bit before the color of her pupils changed to a golden

color.

"Come, child," Hecate said in a teasing tone. "I'll wait for you at World's End. Ramona has already waited long enough. How long do you plan to keep her waiting?"

"I'll be there as soon as I get my tour guide," Ethan answered. "It won't be long before I find

you."

"Action speaks louder than words. Godfrey isn't a pushover who will obey you. If you want his help, you need to beat him first.

"But remember this. There are only a handful of methods that can make a Demigod yield. Unless you have a way to bind him with words, winning against him is futile. Last but not the least, the body of this Half-Elf will deteriorate after a year.

"A body without a soul will not be able to last for a long time. If not for the fact that I made arrangements for her to be born as a Half-Elf, she would have perished a decade ago. "And the moment this body dies, Ramona can kiss her 'Happily Ever After' goodbye. I have already given her a chance. There won't be a second time.

"Goodbye for now, Ethan Gremory.

"If you survive your battle with Godfrey, and manage to convince him to cooperate, we will eventually meet at the World's End.

"One last thing-tell Ashmedai that if he interferes, I'll destroy Ramona's soul. You have

been warned."

After saying those words, Hecate fainted as the Progenitor released her control over her body.

Ethan carefully poured a small portion of a rejuvenation potion inside Hecate's mouth to help

speed up her recovery.

When she finally regained consciousness, she couldn't remember the fact that the Progenitor

of Magic had possessed her body for a moment.

"I guess you succeeded in passing your message to her," Hecate said weakly.

"Yes," Ethan replied as he planted a kiss on the young lady's forehead. "Sleep for now, then

let's have breakfast after an hour."

Hecate nodded because she was feeling very weak after the Progenitor had descended into her

body.

Although he felt that things had become complicated, Ethan had decided to find the

Progenitor of Magic.

If that was the only way that he could save the Princess who had risked her life for his sake, he would not back down from the challenge, even if he had to face the Progenitor of Magic.
