“Welco back, Joanne,” Princess Ramona greeted as soon as her friend entered the living room.
“Co with ,” Joanne replied as she gestured for the Princess to follow her to the Balcony.
The Princess tilted her head in confusion, but since the Fairies also followed behind Ethan’s sister, she decided to follow suit and see what was going on.
When they arrived at the balcony, Joanne narrowed her eyes and scanned the sea in front of her.
However, no matter how hard she looked, she couldn’t see any signs of a rmaid in the vicinity.
‘She’s there,’ Joanne’s Other Half said. ‘She’s just looking at you from under the sea.’
After hearing her Other Half’s confirmation, the young lady glanced at Lapis, who was sitting on Princess Ramona’s shoulder.
“Do Water Fairies and rmaids get along with each other?” Joanne asked.
“Well, we at least don’t hate each other—that’s for sure,” Lapis replied. “But, we don’t go out of our way to et each other.”
“There is a rmaid observing us from the sea. Can you talk to her and tell her that I want to et her?” Joanne stated.
Princess Ramona, who was listening from the side, couldn’t help but widen her eyes. She wouldn't have ever thought that there would be a rmaid observing them from the sea.
The Princess suddenly beca very excited because she had never t a rmaid before.
On the other hand, her grandma had t a rmaid when she was younger, and it was that rmaid who told her grandmother about the story of the Tidebringer.
If possible, she wanted to et a rmaid herself.
‘Maybe I can beco friends with a rmaid as well,’ Princess Ramona thought excitedly as Joanne and Lapis talked to each other.
“I’ll go take a look,” Lapis said before flying toward the sea, accompanied by five more Water Fairies, who also wanted to et the rmaid.
The two girls watched as the five Fairies dove into the water, disappearing from their sight.
Several minutes later, the five Fairies returned and told Joanne that the rmaid agreed to et them tonight, making Princess Ramona clap her hands happily.
“I’ll finally be able to see and et a rmaid,” Princess Ramona said. “Maybe she can tell us more stories about the Tidebringer.”
Joanne faintly smiled, uncontrollably infected by her friend’s cheerful energy.
While the two were happily chatting about eting a rmaid, the rmaid in question looked at them with amusent from under the sea.
She knew that Ethan had left the Princess’ residence to go soplace else, but the rmaid Princess decided to stay because she was very curious about Joanne, who had the sa hair color and features as her brother.
Truth be told, the rmaid Princess also wished to talk to Joanne and ask her about the young man, whom she had attacked several days ago.
After the misunderstanding was cleared that day, she decided to observe him from afar and get to know him better through her scrying abilities.
From what she could tell, Joanne hated her brother, which made her wonder how that ca to be. She also found out that the Princess liked Ethan very much, amusing her as well.
The rmaid Princess was also aware that there was an invisible Ancient Wendigo currently guarding the two girls.
She didn’t know how Ethan was able to ta such a powerful and dangerous monster, but since it was subservient to him, she decided to ignore this matter for the ti being.
Several hours passed, and the ti she set to et them had finally arrived.
Riding Joanne’s flying broom, the two girls flew toward the location where they would et with the rmaid Princess.
The Water Fairies were in front of them, serving as a guide. And even if it was dark, they were able to travel safely since the Water Fairies glowed in the darkness.
“Don’t be afraid, okay?” Lapis said as the dozens of fairies encircled Joanne’s flying broom. “We will use a spell to create a water bubble, which would allow you to breathe underwater.”
As soon as she finished talking, the Water Fairies cast their spell. Just as Lapis had told them, the flying broom was encapsulated by a water bubble.
“Let’s dive,” one of the Fairies said before diving headfirst toward the surface of the water.
Joanne navigated her flying broom to do the sa, and soon, she and Princess Ramona entered the dark sea, which was nearly devoid of light.
‘We will keep diving,’ Lapis said through telepathy. ‘Just follow .’
Fear was slowly creeping onto Princess Ramona, for she was truly afraid of the dark. Because of this, she hugged Joanne tightly as if her life depended on it.
“You have nothing to fear, Ramona,” Joanne said. “I will protect you. Besides, Lapis and the others will keep you safe.”
After hearing her friend’s words of assurance, Princess Ramona slowly regained her calm.
Finally, after diving for more than a minute, the two saw a blue glow in the distance, which they believed was their destination.
“Welco guests.”
A soothing, and beautiful voice reached the two girls’ ears as they made their way to the blue do of light.
When the water bubble and the do of light collided, Joanne and Ramona found themselves staring at an extrely beautiful lady, who was looking at the two of them with a smile.
“M-rmaid!” Princess Ramona pointed at the rmaid Princess, making the latter giggle.
“Yes, I am a rmaid,” the rmaid Princess replied. “Nice to et you, Princess Ramona.”
After realizing that she had childishly stated the obvious, the Princess’ face turned beet red out of embarrassnt.
Joanne, on the other hand, observed their surroundings.
The Water Bubble had disappeared, and yet, the two of them were able to breathe underwater.
They could even talk telepathically, which she believed was the power of the rmaid who had co to et them.
“I already know both of your nas, but I think it will also be good if we properly introduce ourselves to each other,” the rmaid Princess said.
“I agree,” Princess Ramona replied. “My na is Ramona Von Magdar. Twelfth Princess of the Magdar Kingdom. I am currently twelve years old.”
“Joanne Valentin,” Joanne said with a smile.
“Greetings, Princess Ramona, Joanne,” the rmaid Princess nodded with a smile. “My na is Illumina Lazuli Astraea, but feel free to just call Illumina.”
Illumina smiled at the two girls, whom she had wanted to talk to for a long ti. Now that an opportunity had arrived, she would ask them to tell her everything about the young man, who was currently on an expedition away from the Magdar Kingdom.
