Chapter 950: We Can’t Add More Girls In The Harem
Inside the Royal Palace of the Kingdom of Saphirus...
Ethan was accompanied by two beautiful ladies as he took a stroll in the city.
One of them was, of course, Illumina, and the other was Princess Wilhelmina, who had arrived a few days before her friend's wedding.
Ethan was no longer wearing his swimming trunks, but clothes fitting for a prince.
They were naturally water resistant, allowing him to use them underwater.
It was just funny that the princely clothes he was wearing now were something Illumina had prepared many years ago.
In fact, she had a few more sets of clothes she wished to gift Ethan for when they reunited in Brynhildr Academy.
Although the intended place didn't match, the time still did. Since Illumina couldn't leave her Kingdom to find him, the young man decided to look for her instead, allowing the Mermaid Princess and her Kingdom to survive a disaster.
Soon, the three found themselves on top of the city walls, looking at the City of Atlantis that was hundreds of meters away.
Although they couldn't see them at the moment, hundreds of mermaids and mermen were busy decorating the Sea God's Temple, where the wedding would take place in four days.
The lonely and desolate ancient city of the past now shone faintly under the sea, showing a shadow of its glorious days.
"I still can't believe that your Promised One is the Prince of Atlantis," Princess Wilhelmina said to Illumina. "But how did you do it? He's been your Promised One for over a hundred years. That means that he wasn't even born when you lost your Rainbow Scale."
"That's a trade secret," Illumina replied before playfully placing a finger over her lips.
Ethan found this discussion quite amusing. If not for Illumina's Rainbow Scale, he might not have been able to live a life as a Wizard in Brynhildr Academy.
He couldn't help but think that there might be someone or a greater power pulling the strings from the heavens to make all of these beautiful coincidences fall into place like pieces of a puzzle.
When he was in the Lands of Alastor, Illumina mentioned that she received a prophecy from a seer, saying that if she wanted to find happiness, she should take a leap of faith and offer her Rainbow Scale.
A Mermaid Princess only had one Rainbow Scale, and if she gave it away, it was equivalent to giving half of their life to someone else.
This was why they would only give it to the person whom they would spend their life with. "How about it, Wilhelmina?" Illumina whispered in her friend's ears. "I'll make an exception, and allow you to offer your rainbow scale to Ethan."
The beautiful Mermaid Princess who specialized in defense immediately turned beet red and pushed her annoying friend's face away from her.
"What are you talking about?!" Princess Wilhelmina almost shouted. "Are you crazy?!"
"This is a limited time offer only, and if you miss this chance, you won't get another," Illumina commented with a smile. "I'm not going to brag, but you won't find anyone better than my fiance in this lifetime."
Princess Wilhelmina gave Ethan a side-long glance before glaring at her friend, who was looking at her with a mischievous smile on her face.
Suddenly, Princess Wilhelmina thought of something, which made her sneer.
"Since you like to drag others in your harem, how about you invite Ariel as well?" Princess Wilhelmina chuckled. "I'm sure she wouldn't hesitate to agree to your offer."
"That b*tch can marry a Sea Slug for all I care," Illumina replied in a heartbeat. "It takes one to know one!"
At that moment, a few Sea Slugs were passing below the city walls and heard her, making them look up at the beautiful Mermaid Princess in shock.
'Sister, what did we Sea Slugs ever do to you?'
Of course, the Sea Slugs only thought about it and decided to mind their own business!
Ethan didn't know if he should laugh or cry because the two beautiful Mermaids were pretending that he didn't exist.
If it were only Illumina and Princess Wilhelmina talking about it, he would still be able to tolerate it.
However, the two bastards inside his Sea of Consciousness were also fanning the flames, making Ethan feel like he was about to have a migraine.
"That's my boy. Just a single visit in the sea, and he managed to hook the impenetrable Mermaid Princess and that other Mermaid Princess who has the cauldron of Dagda.' Sebastian chuckled.
'We can't add more girls to the harem,' Ethan's Other Half commented. 'If we do, the number of wives will go up to the double digits.'
'Right... but, if all goes to plan, wouldn't the number still hit the double digits because the final number of wives might reach 10?'
"Ten is still better than 12 or 13.'
'Well, you're not wrong.'
Ethan pinched the bridge of his nose.
There were already two ladies talking beside him, without holding back. Now, these two bastards inside his head were also doing the same.
In order to have some peace and quiet, Ethan decided to speak his mind, and change the
subject.
'According to Lord Leviathan, the one who will preside over our wedding goes by the name James Ainsworth,' Ethan said. 'Have the two of you heard this name before?'
'Eh... that name sounds like some sort of bandit or scammer,' Sebastian replied. 'Are you sure you want to let someone like that marry you and Illumina?'
'James... why does this name make me feel goosebumps.' Ethan's Other Half pondered. 'He can't possibly be the ALL-FATHER who perished hundreds of years ago right?'
'Nah! It can't be him. I mean, how can the name James even equate to the name of Odin?'
'Right. The name sounds like it came from a scammer, not gonna lie.'
Ethan couldn't help but smile. 'You guys should apologize to all the James in the world. You're giving that name a bad reputation.'

Somewhere in Eastshire...
"Achooo!" an old man wearing an eyepatch rubbed his nose before looking at the teenage boy beside him with disdain.
"What are you looking at, Old Man James?" George asked. "I've already mastered how to use Fulminar up to the Third Level just like you asked me to. Don't tell me you're going to nitpick
my work again?"
"Hmph! When I was your age, I already sat on top of the world, guarding the mortals and making sure that the nine realms would not erupt into chaos," James snorted. "Can't you be a little bit like that Ethan brat?"
"Why should I be like Ethan?" George arched an eyebrow. "I'm more handsome than him. I'm more suave than him. My charisma is off the charts, and I have one... err, two girls who really
like me."
(E/N: Is the other one his Mom?)
The old man looked at the teenage boy from head to foot before patting George's shoulder.
"It's fine," James said in pity. "Although you and Ethan can dream, I'm still more handsome, more suave, and more charismatic than the two of you combined."
"Old Man, can you stop being shameless?" George looked at James in disdain. "You're already this old, and you still try to one-up us youngsters. Are you an old cow who wants to chew the
fresh grass?"
The old man pretended that he didn't hear George's snarky reply as he played with his beard.
"I know you already have Sabrina as your lover," James said with a mischievous smile on his face. "But who is the other one?"
"I haven't met her yet." George shrugged. "All I know is that Sabrina and this other girl had a heart-to-heart talk. After that, she said that she plans to introduce her to me one of these
days."
James looked pitifully at the future hen-pecked husband and decided to hand him a small
book.
"Here is the book that will help you make those ladies happy," James said as he passed a small
booklet to George.
"What's this?" George frowned when he saw the title of the book. "Kama Sutra Version 2,
revised by James Ainsworth?"
James gazed at George as if he was a sage that was imparting a secret ancient text that only a
handful of people knew.
"George, my boy, there are many secrets in the world, and right now, you're holding to one of
them," James said in a serious tone.
The young man was still half in doubt, but the moment he opened the book, and saw the illustrations, he felt that he suddenly reached enlightenment.
The two then stared at each other before chuckling at the same time.
The Witches, who were passing by, saw the two chuckling weirdos and looked at them in disdain before they left as fast as they could because the two men were giving them the
creeps.
