Chapter 776: I Don’t Think I Will Truly Be Happy In This Lifetime
“Joanne, why did you come here without telling me?” Ethan asked her sister, who was currently seated beside Hecate on the couch. “It’s a good thing that Hecate is with you. That makes me feel a lot better.”
“…” Joanne didn’t reply and simply looked at her brother with a conflicted look on her face.
She wasn’t lying when she told Hecate that she had entered a stage where she was finding it increasingly difficult to determine which was real and which was not.
If she even relaxed her mind for a bit, she believed that she might even forget about the fact that they didn’t belong in this world and that they only entered it through a painting.
Hecate, who believed that the Painting of Enlightenment was specifically targeting Joanne, understood the mechanics of this world a bit.
In order to gain enlightenment, the person must fully immerse himself in the world and not think of it as an alternate reality.
Only when they had become part of the world would they get a chance at enlightenment, which was a gamble for them.
This was also the reason why Fortis Dud allowed the two of them to enter the world of the painting at the same time.
It was extremely rare for two people to have enlightenment at the same time, so he deemed that Joanne or Hecate would be safe as long as there was someone who would wake them up from their daydreams.
As a backup plan, they had also informed the Headmaster about it. After two weeks, if the two still hadn’t gone out of the painting, they would go in to take them back to reality.
“What’s wrong, Joanne?” Princess Ramona asked in a teasing tone. “Why did you suddenly turn meek? Where was the playfulness you had an hour ago?”
“Playfulness?” Ethan arched an eyebrow. “Did the two of you have fun or something?”
Princess Ramona blushed because she didn’t dare say the embarrassing experience that she had an hour ago. How could she tell her beloved that his sister, and her friend, had mercilessly, and shamelessly had their way with her chaste body?
“L-Let’s not talk about it right now,” Princess Ramona said. “Why did you and Joanne suddenly return? I thought that I would not be seeing the two of you again.”
“Well, things happened,” Ethan answered before shifting his gaze to Hecate. “Hecate was feeling mischievous, and Joanne decided to join her mischief. One thing led to another, and here we are.”
Princess Ramona smiled. “Well, I don’t really know what happened, but I am very happy that both of you came to see me again. I miss the two of you terribly.”
“Who do you miss more?” Ethan asked in a teasing tone. “Me or Joanne?”
“Of course, I miss Joanne more,” Princess Ramona replied while averting her gaze. “Why would I miss someone like you, who just plays with the heart of women?”
Ethan smiled bitterly, believing he wasn’t someone who played with the hearts of women.
Princess Ramona pouted as she gazed at the young man’s face. “Well, how long are you planning to stay this time?”
“I can’t really say,” Ethan replied. “It really depends on how long my sister intends to stay here.”
Princess Ramona glanced at her best friend, which made Joanne heave a sigh.
“We’ll only be staying for a few days,” Joanne stated. “So let’s create wonderful memories together, Ramona.”
A sad expression briefly flashed on Princess Ramona’s face before disappearing the next second.
“Yes.” Princess Ramona nodded. “Let’s create wonderful memories together that will last a lifetime.”
The four of them then had a private dinner together.
Ethan told Princess Ramona about his recent adventures in the real world, including his marriage with Lily, which surprised Joanne very much.
Every detail of the wedding was described as she remembered it.
“I wish I had been there to give the two of you my blessings.” Princess Ramona closed her
eyes.
Although she did her best to hide it, the sadness she was feeling could be seen through her body language.
“Ramona… I also hope you find happiness,” Ethan said softly. “You are a wonderful lady. You deserve to be happy.”
“Brother is right, you know?” Joanne commented after seeing how sad her friend was becoming. “You will definitely find someone who will love you very much.”
“Thank you both,” Princess Ramona replied. “I don’t think I will truly be happy in this
lifetime, so… perhaps, the next one will make me truly happy.”
Hecate, who was listening silently to the conversation, calmly sipped her tea before giving the Princess a sidelong glance.
Ethan, who noticed Hecate’s expression, decided to say something to Princess Ramona, which the princess didn’t know about.
“In the future, Hecate will become a Saintess of this Temple,” Ethan said.
“What?!” Princess Ramona stood up from the couch and looked at Hecate in disbelief. “You’ll be a future Saintess in the Temple? Why didn’t you tell me?”
“Senior Ethan, you’re a very mean person.” Hecate smiled bitterly. “I planned to keep this a secret from Princess Ramona, and yet you exposed my identity without batting an eye.”
Hecate never called Ethan Senior Ethan in real life.
She either called him Sir Ethan or just Ethan.
Knowing that the Ethan in front of her wasn’t real, she refused to address him the way she did to the real one.
“I’m sorry, but I believe that Ramona will be happy knowing that her Legacy will carry on in the future,” Ethan replied. “I hope it didn’t offend you.”
“Well, you didn’t offend me,” Hecate stated. “But everyone has their secrets. I hope that
Senior Ethan will not expose my other secrets to the Saintess.”
“My bad.” Ethan nodded. “I promise I won’t say anything else.”
After saying those words Ethan asked Ramona about the things that happened to her after they left the Magdar Kingdom.
Princess Ramona then started to tell her story, half ranting and half complaining about the hardships she encountered along the way.
Joanne, who also didn’t ask her best friend about what happened to her, listened closely to her
story.
Through it all, Hecate remained silent and silently observed the handsome young man who was holding Princess Ramona’s hand firmly as she told them about her life story.
