Chapter 665 You’re Not Our Sugar Daddy [Part 1]
At a small temple on top of the Cloudwall Mountains, Ethan sat down with a meditative pose.
This temple had just recently been built with the help of magic and was now the Ratmen’s sacred site.
After his battle against the Progenitor of Pestilence, Erass, the young man had entered a state of deep slumber.
Currently, the one moving his body was none other than his Other Half, who was keeping watch on the Ratmen to ensure that they followed his instructions to the letter.
It had been a week since the battle had come to an end, but Ethan still hadn’t regained consciousness.
Although the Pestilence that had entered his body was a factor, the main reason why he was in a comatose state was the descent of a Progenitor who used his body as their temporary vessel.
It took a great toll on his body, so he would need to rest for a long time.
Sebastian and Ethan’s Other Half didn’t know how long Ethan would remain unconscious. So, for the time being, they decided that it would be best if someone took over his body and watch guard so that the Ratmen wouldn’t revert to their old ways.
Of course, the Progenitor who had converted the Plague Rats into Shadow Rats made sure to put a safety measure. Should any of the Ratmen ever defy him, they would die without warning.
‘How long should we stay here?’ Sebastian asked. ‘Truth be told, I’m a bit worried about Joanne and Princess Ramona.’
‘Don’t be,’ Ethan’s Other Half replied. ‘Dainsleif is there to protect them. I doubt that there’ll be anyone who has the ability to overpower him in battle. Even King Baldur won’t stand a chance against him.’
Sebastian sighed. ‘Then how about we return to the Magdar Kingdom? The problem with the Ratmen is over now, and we don’t really have a reason to keep staying here, do we?’
‘You’re right.’ Ethan’s Other Half nodded. ‘But, let’s wait for one more week. If he’s still not awake by then, we will return to the Magdar Kingdom.’
‘Why should we wait for a week? Can’t we just go back now?’
‘I want Ethan to take control of the Shadow Rat Race. You already know that he’s a bit worried about Princess Ramona. If the Shadow Rats are there to protect her, he will have some peace of mind once he returns to the present.’
Sebastian nodded in understanding, knowing that this was truly one of Ethan’s worries.
Right now, the Princess didn’t have any allies. She couldn’t trust anyone, and everyone in the castle, with the exception of her Father, was her enemy.
At the end of the day, Princess Ramona was only twelve years old.
She was too young and too inexperienced to protect herself from the schemes of the Royal Family and their allies.
Days passed as Ethan remained asleep.
After a week of waiting, Ethan’s Other Half deemed that he couldn’t wait any longer. He descended from the peak of Cloudwall Mountain and entered its interior.
“Keznir, have you already made the necessary preparations?” Ethan’s Other Half asked.
Two days later, they finally arrived at the Capital City and headed straight to Princess Ramona’s residence.
Ethan was still in a comatose state, but Sebastian and Ethan’s Other Half believed that he would wake up sooner or later.
The moment he landed on the Residence, Dainsleif appeared and kneeled in front of Ethan.
“Welcome back, Master,” Dainsleif stated.
“Did anything happen while I was away?” Ethan’s Other Half asked.
Dainsleif paused for a brief moment, sensing that the one he was speaking to wasn’t his Master but someone else.
Even so, he knew who it was, so he remained kneeling as he gave his report.
“Everything is fine, Master,” Dainsleif stated. “The Young Miss and the Princess are safe and healthy.”
Ethan’s Other Half nodded. “Good. All of you come out and introduce yourself to your new comrade-at-arms.”
As soon as the order was given, a hundred shadows emerged from Ethan’s shadow and materialized behind him.
“I am Keznir,” Keznir stated. “It is a pleasure to meet you, Dainsleifsssss.”
Dainsleif nodded. “Nice to meet you, too.”
The Ancient Wendigo knew that his Master had left the Magdar Kingdom to deal with the Ratmen.
However, he thought that his Master had gone to exterminate them, not turn them into his subordinates.
But either way, Dainsleif really didn't care.
As long as they were serving his Master, that made them allies instead of enemies.
Also, Dainsleif favored having more people watching over the two girls.
Joanne had already ensured that all the important people in the Kingdom would support and protect Ramona.
Dainsleif had witnessed it all, and frankly, he liked how ruthless the little girl was.
Joanne’s Other Half had approached Dainsleif and asked him to keep everything he saw a secret.
The Ancient Wendigo didn’t promise anything.
But he still said that if his Master didn’t ask him to report to him in detail, he would not say anything about the Charming Incident that Joanne’s Other Half performed during the party that happened more than two weeks ago.
