BXBX NOVEL Chapter 643: See You Later
The two mermaids chatted and chatted like two best friends who hadn\'t seen each other in a very long time.
They even erected a transparent dome of water around them, preventing any sound from escaping from it.
Whatever they were talking about between the two of them was only meant for the two of them.
\'Mermaid Princesses rarely give away one of their rainbow scales since it\'s something precious to them,\' Sebastian commented. \'If any rainbow scales are within range or in the same sea, they will immediately know its location. Maybe she sensed the rainbow scale and came to investigate.\'
\'However, when she realized that you possessed it, she became angry and attacked you. She probably thought that you stole it from its rightful owner,\' Ethan\'s Other Half smirked. \'But, I guess this is also a good thing. We can avoid any misunderstandings and prevent any similar attacks from happening in the future.\'
Ethan was just happy because the last thing he wanted to do was hit the Mermaid Princess who had done many things for him.
If it wasn\'t for Illumina, his journey in the Wizarding World might have been way harder than how it originally started.
The two Mermaid Princesses got carried away as they talked, not caring how much time had passed.
When the barrier surrounding the two of them dispersed, it had already been four hours, and Ethan wondered if his sister and Princess Ramona were already eating lunch by now.
Illumina then returned to Ethan and transformed into a wand, landing perfectly in his hand.
The Mermaid Princess then approached him and looked at him from head to foot. She then circled around him six times, making sure to check him out from every angle as if she were assessing if he was passable or not.
A minute later, she reached out to touch Ethan\'s long blue hair that fluttered in the water.
The young man didn\'t do anything and allowed her to do anything she wanted.
Even when the mermaid princess cupped his face and stared directly into his eyes, he didn\'t move and just stared back at her.
Several minutes later, the Mermaid Princess finally backed away before looking at Ethan with a faint smile on her face.
"See you later, Ethan," the Mermaid Princess said before swimming away, leaving the young man behind.
\'Is this what the students in the academy refer to as "seen-zoned?"\' Sebastian asked his partner in crime, who only burst out laughing.
\'Maybe she is just embarrassed because she attacked him earlier without even confirming whether he is friend or foe,\' Ethan\'s Other half commented after his laughter ended.
\'Anyway, I\'m just glad that things didn\'t take a turn for the worse,\' Sebastian stated. \'Great decision, forcing Illumina to appear with your Resonance.\'
Ethan sighed as he looked in the direction where the Mermaid Princess swam away.
Half of him wanted to swim after her, but the other half knew that if she wanted to stay to talk to him, she would have stayed.
The fact that she left meant that she had no intention of talking to him.
However, her parting words. "See you later, Ethan", made him smile.
\'See you later,\' Ethan thought as he held his wand firmly in his hand. \'Illumina.\'
The young man then swam in the direction of the Magdar Kingdom. There were many things on his mind right now, so he decided to rest first and organize his thoughts.
Meanwhile, as Ethan sped towards his intended destination, the Mermaid Princess stopped swimming and glanced in his direction.
She then rested her hand on her bare chest, which Ethan had seen earlier, to feel her wildly beating heart.
Earlier, the only thought in her mind was to kill the person whom she thought had stolen her rainbow scale.
But after everything that happened, her hatred turned to surprise then embarrassment.
When the embarrassment faded, a feeling of expectation rose in her heart.
The Mermaid Princess was then left with two choices.
Go back home and pretend that nothing happened, or… observe the young man from a distance that he couldn\'t sense so that she could learn more about him.
Not even half a minute had passed before the Mermaid Princess made her decision.
She swam in the direction where Ethan went, controlling her speed and keeping her distance so that Ethan wouldn\'t detect her.
The Mermaid Princess knew that this chance encounter might never happen again, so she decided to observe the young man for now and understand his character for future reference.

Princess Ramona\'s bedroom…
Joanne sat cross-legged on top of the bed as she meditated.
Princess Ramona, who was reading a book by the window, would glance at her from time to time, curious about the inexplicable thing her new friend was doing.
She could feel the magical fluctuations around Joanne\'s body, but these fluctuations would appear and disappear at varying intervals.
If not for the fact that her sensitivity to magic was very high, she would probably think that Joanne was simply resting with her eyes closed.
But for some reason, Princess Ramona could tell what the cute girl was doing.
\'She\'s using magic over long distances,\' Princess Ramona thought. \'Is she spying on someone using scrying or divination magic? I want to ask her, but she\'ll probably just deny it.\'
After spending some time with her, Princess Ramona understood that Joanne was very different from the girls of the Magdar Kingdom.
She was confident, bold, prideful, charismatic, and arrogant, whose traits the Princess of the Magdar Kingdom wished she also possessed.
If she had Joanne\'s qualities, then she wouldn\'t be so passive about her brothers. After all, they had made multiple attempts to assassinate her, making use of whatever means they could get their hands on.
Princess Ramona believed that if Joanne was in her shoes, the blue-haired girl would not hesitate to go on the offensive, making sure that those who tried to make her life miserable would suffer a fate worse than death.
