Chapter 981: A Cold And Dreamless Sleep [Part 2]



"You've come," Nicole said as soon as Ethan landed a few meters away from her.

A frown appeared on the young man's face as he approached his best friend.

When he was only a meter away, the frown on his face deepened as his eyes further scrutinized the beautiful lady, who had found a spot in his heart during his first year in Brynhildr Academy.

"Who are you?" Ethan said coldly.

The smile on Nicole's face widened a bit as she walked closer to Ethan. Only when she was only a foot away from him did she stop.

She then looked straight at his eyes, where sparks of anger were starting to stir.

Nicole then felt the stirring of consciousness inside the Ice Coffin, but this stir lasted only for

a few seconds before dying down and once again going back into a peaceful slumber.

"Have you forgotten who your best friend is?" Nicole asked in a teasing tone.

"I haven't forgotten her," Ethan answered icily. "You're not her. Where is she?"

The smile on Nicole's face disappeared, and her expression changed to that one of aloofness as if she was someone that stood from on top of the world.

"She's gone," Nicole answered. "And it's all thanks to you. The moment you took her magic away was the moment her resistance also fell."

The young lady then moved her hand to caress Nicole's abdomen before making her hand go up to caress her chest, her neck, and her face.

"Everything she has, I now possess," Nicole stated. "But don't worry. Even in her last moments, she held you dearly in her heart."

As if to make a point, Nicole held Ethan's hand, and placed it directly on her chest, in the location where her heart was supposed to be.

Ethan's eyes widened in shock when his hand touched the young lady's chest.

It was not because he felt how soft it was.

No.

Something that was supposed to be there wasn't there anymore.

Ethan pulled back his hand, and pressed his ear directly on her chest.

him.

This was why he forced himself to calm down and simply stared at Baradiel as if looking for a way to let Nicole's consciousness take control of her body once again.

A sigh then escaped Baradiel's lips before she pried Ethan's hands away from her robes.

"What a boring child you are," Baradiel said. "Have you become numb after learning that your best friend's body has been taken over by someone else? Or maybe the stimulation isn't

enough."

Baradiel then pondered a bit before clapping her hands, looking like she had thought of something interesting.

"Right, I'm sure that you already know that your wife, Lily, is pregnant, right?" Baradiel inquired. "But do you know how she got pregnant? As a freebie for trying to look for Nicole, I don't mind sharing this information with you.

"You see, there is this Progenitor of Magic who holds grudges. Since you offended her, she decided to play a prank on you. She made Lily immune to anything that would prevent her

from conceiving your child.

"That is how she ended up pregnant. Truth be told, that Progenitor of Magic was very

tempted to do the same to your other lovers, which would have definitely shocked you silly. Unfortunately, she didn't go ahead with it.

"It would have been funny if your lovers got pregnant one after the other. Too bad, I wasn't able to see something as interesting as that."

Ethan, who finally discovered how Lily got pregnant, couldn't help but curse the Progenitor of Magic, Lady Hecate, in his heart.

However, he had already come to terms with it.

But when Baradiel mentioned that Lady Hecate had initially planned to make his other lovers immune to the effect of contraception magic, his face almost turned pale from shock.

Seeing his reaction, a chuckle escaped Baradiel's lips.

She wondered what kind of reaction Ethan would have when he finally discovered that his best friend was no longer his best friend.

At the start, she planned to act as if she was still Nicole. Unfortunately, Ethan was able to discover that she wasn't the real one right away, ruining her plans.

Because of this, she felt a little spiteful, so she decided to spill the beans about Lily's

pregnancy.

This time, she got the reaction she was looking for, which made her laugh, something she hadn't had the leisure of doing for the past thousands of years.
