Chapter 783: Are You Ready For Your Enlightenment? [Part 1]
Standing on a cliff overlooking the sea, Princess Ramona hummed a happy tune. Looking at her, she looked very carefree as if she had no worries at all in the world.
As the Princess of the Magdar Kingdom, and Saintess of the Order of the Tidebringer, she had everything that any lady would wish to have.
The wind blew softly, swaying her long hair a bit. Her eyes were closed, and there was a look on her face, which made her look ethereal.
When Ethan first met her, she was just a child no more than twelve years old.
serene
She had told him that she loved him, but he politely told her that they weren't meant to be.
His rejection was not only because she was young, but also because they didn't live in the same timeline.
It was indeed a relationship that wasn't meant to be.
Even if Ethan agreed and promised to wait for her to grow up, they were not just separated by distance, but time and space itself as well.
It was a relationship that was doomed to fail, and heartbreak was their only choice.
Despite that, the Princess didn't stop loving him.
There were many suitors who approached her and her family, bearing gifts and promises of happiness.
And yet, she knew that her happiness lay elsewhere.
No amount of gold nor jewels could fill the emptiness inside her heart.
Only his touch, his embrace, and kisses could fill her up with happiness and make her the happiest girl in the world.
And because of this, she made a decision.
Regardless of the price,
Regardless of the sacrifice,
And regardless of who stood in her way...
She would find a way to meet him, even if she was no longer the same person that he remembered.
As the Princess looked at the first stars that appeared in the sky, she heard the sound of footsteps behind her.
"You sure went out of your way to invite me to this off-beat place," Hecate said. "But I have to admit, the view is good."
The sun had just set, and the heavens were painted with purple and orange.
The first stars of the night twinkled at the two teenage girls, who were the same age.
Both of them were seventeen, and both of them were now facing each other with smiles on their faces.
"Well, then. Shall I help you remember?"
Princess Ramona lightly poked Hecate's forehead with her finger, making Hecate's eyes gloss over as if she had entered a trance.
Memories of her past swirled inside her head until she returned to the time when she became
aware of the world around her.
"I want to see you."
"I want to be with you."
Those were the first two thoughts that had appeared inside her head when she was born.
Hecate was a special existence.
She wasn't birthed by an elf or a human.
She was born from the seed of the World Tree.
But since her soul wasn't that of an elf, but a human, she was born as a Half-Elf.
Also, when she was born, she was born in her current body.
She didn't start as a baby.
It was a birth that broke many laws.
Her birth was taboo, which was why the world decided to punish her for going against the
natural cycle of life and death.
Everytime she used her power, the Elementals of the world would appear to end her life, which would allow her to return to the proper cycle, just as it was meant to be.
As Hecate remembered the first thoughts she had when she regained her consciousness, she looked at the princess in front of her, who was looking back at her with the same pitiful and
sad gaze that she had earlier.
"You.. Who are you?" Hecate asked.
"A wish made out of love," Princess Ramona replied. "A wish of What Ifs, and Might Have
Beens. A wish that transcended time and space... a wish that finally reached you."
"I don't understand." Hecate shook her head. "Isn't it Joanne who should have enlightenment, not me?"
"Who said that only one person can reach enlightenment in this world?" Princess Ramona
asked in a teasing tone. "So, tell me, oh, noble, yet pitiful soul, who sacrificed so much to
make a miracle happen...
"Are you ready for your Enlightenment?"
