Chapter 906: I’ve Seen Better Days
After being subjected to the horrifying power of the Cauldron of Twilight, which could render anyone with the bloodline of Firbolgs helpless, it was perfectly normal for Chloe to feel fear toward it.
Of course, she had blind faith that Ethan would never use the Cauldron to commit the heinous acts of extracting the Origin Magic Crystal of Witches. However, she would be lying if she said that she wasn't feeling anxious.
Concerned with her troubled and weakened state, Ethan made sure to hold her tightly so that her fears would subside.
Half an hour later, Chloe still hadn't regained enough strength to stand because her legs still felt like jelly.
"Stay here tonight," Ethan said. "It's been a while since I have seen you, and I miss you terribly."
The young lady's face reddened when he heard how affectionate Ethan was. Because of this, she nodded in understanding and accepted his proposal.
"The third wheel will go now," Chessy said. "Remember, Ethan. Don't casually bring that artifact out whenever you feel like it.
"You'll never know if someone has Firbolg Blood running inside their veins. If an incident similar to what happened earlier ever happens in public, there will be repercussions that you won't be able to deal with."
Ethan nodded. "I understand. Thank you, Chessy."
The Chesmire Cat gave Ethan a brief nod before disappearing completely.
Now that they were left alone, Ethan remembered that Chloe was still wearing her travel clothes.
Her hair was also a bit messy, and she looked exhausted from her journey. Although he wanted to talk to her a lot, he decided to care for her for the time being.
The rustling of clothes spread inside the room, as he helped his cousin undress. Chloe was surprised at first, but since this wasn't the first time that Ethan had seen her naked, she didn't resist and allowed him to remove the clothes from her body.
When she was completely naked, Ethan carried her towards the bathroom.
He planned to let her take a nice and relaxing shower before he let her sleep on the bed.
When they arrived at the bathroom, Ethan also took off his clothes and showered with Chloe.
The two of them hadn't had the chance to be together for a while, so they spent an hour inside the bathroom before Ethan carried her to the bed.
For Ashmedai, nothing was more important than expanding the Valentin Family's lineage, as long as it was done in moderation.
After making sure that there were no complications for both mother and child, Lady Hecate vanished from Lily's room and reappeared inside the Tree House, where Nicole was resting. The moment she appeared, Lilith, who was in her cat form, fell asleep instantly.
Lady Hecate then lightly tapped her head with her wand, making sure to erase the last five minutes of her memories.
"I never expected that I'd have a visitor this soon."
Nicole, who was sleeping on the bed a while ago, opened her eyes and smiled at the
Progenitor of Magic.
"How are you, Baradiel?" Lady Hecate asked before sitting on the bed to look at her friend.
"I've seen better days," Baradiel replied. "Why are you here?"
"Oh you know, just being a busybody," Lady Hecate answered. "And I wanted to visit a friend.
So, what are your plans with that child?"
"Which one?" Baradiel arched an eyebrow.
"That girl you're possessing," Lady Hecate replied.
A devilish smile appeared on Nicole's face, which was something that Ethan hadn't seen in a
while.
"Why are you asking me a question that you already know the answer to?" Baradiel smirked.
"You're right." Hecate also smiled in a devilish manner because she could already see Ethan's face filled with despair. "I look forward to it."
The two powerhouses of the world smiled at each other because they knew that the event that they all dreaded, and looked forward to, would soon open its doors.
When that happened, the peace of the world would be broken, and only those who had the power to protect themselves would either survive to see the next era or perish before the light
of dawn.
