Chapter 952: Is There Some Kind Of Hidden Play That We’re Not Aware Of?



"Since the Cauldron of Dagda is already soul bound to her, the only one that can use it is her," Chloe said in a calm tone. "Even if you take it by force, it will be useless. The only way that you can make it yours is if you kill her."

The young lady pursed her lips because this was something that Ethan wouldn't do no matter what.

She knew that the person she loved had changed from that naive farm boy, into a mature and dependable person.

While Ethan wouldn't hesitate to kill when the need to kill arose, he wasn't a bloodthirsty person, who would just kill anyone because they disagreed with him.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Is there no other way?" Ethan asked.

"There is, but it's only a temporary fix," Chloe replied. "You can ask her to grant you shared permission of the artifact. But, this contract will not last very long. At most, it will only last a few days to a week."

After thinking about the matter, Chloe knew that if she wanted to do what she needed to do, Princess Ariel must fully cooperate with them.

"Ethan, what I need is to have all four treasures of the Tuatha De Danann be together in the same place," Chloe explained. "Since the Sword of Light, Claiomh Solais, is in the Kingdom of Wisteria, and cannot be moved, we need to go there with the three other treasures.

"This means that you will need to bring Princess Ariel with you, so that the ritual to unseal the Stone of Destiny will become possible."

Ethan pondered for a bit before nodding in understanding. "So, I just need to bring her, right?"

"Yes," Chloe replied. "As long as she brings the Cauldron of Dagda with her, that will be enough. Also..."

The young lady's lips curl up into a smile.

"I can tell that she's a very sly, and dangerous woman," Chloe stated. "She will definitely ask for conditions for the cooperation. I'm telling you right now, if she asks you to marry her, you better say no or else..."

All the other young ladies, including Lily, looked at Ethan with the "Don't even think about it" gaze, which made Ethan feel goosebumps even though he and his lovers were thousands of miles away from each other.

"Understood," Ethan replied. "I'll make sure that she will not reach my bottom line."

"Yes, don't let her reach, or touch, your bottom," Samantha said in a serious tone. "That belongs to me, okay?"

Ethan gave Samantha a knowing smile, and nodded in agreement.

The ladies looked at their beloved before shifting their gaze to their sister in confusion.

'Is there some kind of hidden play that we're not aware of?'

That was the thought of everyone in the room. Since they didn't want to raise a fuss when Ethan was still with them, they decided to ask Samantha later, and make her spill the beans by hook or by crook!

"That was really close earlier, Joanne," Princess Ramona said with a smile. "If you really told your brother that Lily is pregnant, he might have traveled back to the academy in the fastest

way possible."

"Right." Joanne sighed. "Fortunately, you managed to stop me in time. I wouldn't have the face to show myself in front of Lily if I spoiled her surprise."

Suddenly, Princess Ramona's body shuddered as if she was electrified. A moment later, she glanced at the direction where she sensed a powerful fluctuation of power.

However, when she tried to extend her senses in that direction, the feeling that she got was nowhere to be found.

'Am I just imagining things?' Princess Ramona thought.

The young lady then shook her head helplessly because she might have just overreacted to

something.

Meanwhile, inside the Eques Manor...

The sound of someone coughing spread inside the room.

Nicole was crouching on the floor, as the coughing fit wracked her body.

Right below her, were shards of ice.

However they were no ordinary shards of ice.

They were red shards of ice, and they were all covered with a tinge of blood.

"Why are you in a rush?" The Progenitor of Magic, Lady Hecate asked the young lady, who had just ended her coughing fit. "The more you rush, the shorter that girl's lifespan will be. Are you sure that is the outcome that you want to happen?"

"It doesn't matter," Nicole replied before wiping the frozen blood at the corner of her lips.

"Even you understand that time waits for no one."

"True." Lady Hecate nodded. "But, is it worth it?"

Nicole didn't reply.

Whether the price was worth it or not, even she, and the Progenitor of Magic, was unable to

tell at this point in time.
