Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

"Did Lady Hecate appear before the two of you after we returned to the academy?" Ethan asked Emma and Princess Ramona.

"No," Emma replied.

"She talks to me from time to time," Princess Ramona answered. "But she only asks me if I have made any progress with you."

After his talk with Baradiel, Ethan called Emma and Princess Ramona for a private talk inside his room.

A Progenitor like Hecate was someone whom he didn't dare look down upon, so he took the Fallen Angel's words seriously.

Because of this, he decided to investigate if the Progenitor of Magic had indeed made contact with his Lovers or not.

"When does she usually talk to you?" Ethan asked in a serious tone.

"Once a week," Princess Ramona replied. "She talks to me through a dream. Since this body that I possess right now is imbued with her power, she can see what I see, hear what I hear, and feel what I feel."

"Isn't that strange?" Emma asked. "If she can see, hear, and feel whatever you are experiencing, why is she asking you if you have made any progress with Ethan? She should know it by now, right?"

Princess Ramona nodded. "Yes. And she often tells me that I should just tie Ethan to the bed and make love with him so that all the Progenitors that are after his life will descend on the academy and make his life a living hell."

"That sounds like her, alright." Ethan nodded. "But is that all? Does she not say anything else? Or show strange behavior to you?"

Princess Ramona pondered as she tried to recall the instances when the Progenitor of Magic visited her.

"Well, if there's something that felt strange during our meetings, it's that she always seems to be in a happy mood," Princess Ramona said. "It's like she wanted to tell me something, but she's holding back.

"She's like a little girl who has pulled a prank and is waiting for someone to discover what it is. At least, that's the kind of vibe that she's giving off."

Ethan's face turned serious because based on Princess Ramona's words, the Progenitor of Magic seemed to have really done something to pay him back for going against her.

'All Progenitors are petty, Ethan,' Ethan's Other Half commented. 'I mean, just look at Ashmedai. He's someone who will definitely screw someone over for the smallest of things."

'Hecate may not be as bad as him.' Sebastian rubbed his chin. 'But she's still a Progenitor. I wouldn't be surprised if she has already done something behind your back. Baradiel sounded so confident earlier, so I'm sure that she has a reason for being confident.'

Ethan agreed with Sebastian and his Other Half, so he decided to seek his other Lovers to ask them the same questions.

"Thank you for answering my questions," Ethan said. "I need to talk to the others and ask them if they have experienced anything unusual as of late."

Emma and Princess Ramona nodded in understanding. Since they were dealing with a Progenitor, they couldn't take things lying down.

A few minutes later…

"I haven't experienced anything unusual as of late, Brother," Joanne said with a smile. "Also, I'm not afraid of Lady Hecate. Lord Ashmedai isn't someone to trifle with, so she wouldn't dare harm me. On that note, she also won't dare to do anything to you."

Joanne was brimming with confidence because she knew that their Patron God was the last person whom the Progenitors of Midgard would want to antagonize.

If Lady Hecate was petty, then Ashmedai was the pettiest of them all.

Even Progenitors didn't want to deal with him, so they left him and his people alone.

"And that's what I'm worried about." Ethan lightly patted his sister's head. "Since she cannot do anything to me, she would likely target those who are close to me. I just asked you because I'm worried that she might have appeared before you since you are close to Ramona."

"I understand." Joanne nodded. "But she really hasn't appeared before me. Don't worry, Brother. If she does appear before me, I'll make sure to give her a piece of my mind."

Ethan couldn't help but chuckle because his sister was like a fearless honey badger.

She didn't feel afraid even if she was facing a Progenitor because her Patron Deity was also a Progenitor.

After talking with Joanne, Ethan went to see Samantha in Terra Manor.

Samantha had just become his lover, so he was certain that Lady Hecate hadn't set her eyes on her.

At least not yet.

But since the young lady with different colored eyes made people want to tease and bully her, he believed that the Progenitor of Magic might appear in front of her if she felt like it.

"The Progenitor of Magic?!" Samantha's eyes widened in shock. "You mean, I have a chance to meet the Mother of all Witches in the world?! Oh, no! I better carry a pen and notebook with me so I can ask for her autograph anytime!"

Sebastian and Ethan's Other Half chuckled after seeing the excitement in Samantha's eyes.

They had a feeling that Hecate would run away after coming face to face with the young lady who seemed to treat the Progenitor like a celebrity.

"Just in case, she comes to meet you, make sure to be polite and not offend her, okay?" Ethan advised. "I'll tell you her features, so you can recognize her right away. She has long red hair and red eyes. She's also a beautiful woman, so make sure not to get charmed by her, okay?"

"Oh, you don't have to worry about that," Samantha replied. "I'm immune to charm spells."

"Really?" Ethan arched an eyebrow.

"Yes," Samantha nodded before walking close to whisper in his ear. "But it seems that I'm not immune to your charms."

After saying those words, Samantha pulled back and glanced at her surroundings first before giving Ethan a quick peck on the lips.

Perhaps she felt that it wasn't enough, so she also kissed his cheeks before giving him a hug.

"… Silly girl," Ethan couldn't help but sigh because his newest lover was really adorable. "How can you be this cute?"

"Hehehe." Samantha giggled. "I forgot to tell you that I received a reply to the letter I sent to my parents. Father and mother don't believe that I have a boyfriend already. They told me that I might have become delusional after eating a poisonous mushroom.

"I am very tempted to tell them that your mushroom is not poisonous. It's strong, and hard, and makes me feel really good…"

Sebastian and Ethan's Other Half laughed out loud after hearing the young lady's words, which made Ethan unable to hide the grin on his face.

"What am I to do with you?" Ethan said helplessly as he hugged Samantha close, kissing her forehead. "Don't worry. We already plan to visit your parents this weekend. Unless something unexpected happens, I will be meeting them in a few days."

Samantha nodded. "Yes. I can't wait to see their reaction after seeing how awesome my boyfriend is."

After a few more cuddles and kisses, Ethan headed towards Jaeger Manor to talk to his wife, Lily.

'I just hope Hecate hasn't done anything bad,' Ethan thought. 'Baradiel is already a pain. I don't want to deal with Hecate again anytime soon.'

With these thoughts occupying his mind, Ethan arrived at Jaeger Manor, just as the sun was about to set over the horizon.
