“Sir Ethan, did you perhaps acquire the Tide Bringer’s Legacy?”

“No.”

Ethan’s reply was firm, and yet, Princess Eva only smiled as if she had heard something very amusing.

“I see.” Princess Eva nodded. “Well, since we are already on the subject, allow me to tell you about the Tide Bringer’s Legacy. However, what you are about to hear is something that I only learned from ancient texts. Whether they are true or not, I cannot confirm it.”

Princess Eva then closed her eyes as if trying to recall what she had read in the ancient texts.

“Nearly two thousand years ago, when the world was still in turmoil and many powerful Deities roamed the world, a certain young man arrived in the Lands of Alastor. Back then, the tribes in the area were at war with each other.

This young man happened to arrive in a peaceful tribe who were doing their best to escape from the battles that were happening all around them.

The peaceful tribe didn't have much to offer, but they gave him the best hospitality and even urged him to come with them as they looked for a safe place to hide.

The young man agreed and traveled with them for several weeks. However, they soon found themselves surrounded by one of the warring tribes who wished to enslave those who were weaker than them.

Just when the peaceful tribe thought that their time had come, the young man whom they sheltered stood between them and the Tribe who wished to enslave their people.Follow current novelenglish.net . s on N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.nᴇt

Knowing that words alone would not convince the Aggressive Tribe to let those who had shown him hospitality go, the young man summoned a Trident in his hand and brought upon a storm.

“Yes, a Trident that looked exactly like the one glowing on the back of your hand, Sir Ethan,” Princess Eva said as she lightly tapped on the emblem of the Sea God’s Trident, which, for some reason, was faintly glowing on the back of his hand.

“I see,” Ethan replied with a calm expression on his face. “What a coincidence. I bought that Trident from the Treasury of Brynhildr Academy. I guess the merits I used to purchase it were worth it.”

“Oh? That is indeed a very interesting coincidence,” Princess Eva commented. “How much did you buy it for?”

“50,000 Merit Points.”

“You got yourself a bargain, Sir Ethan. Those were Merit Points well spent.”

Queen Evane and Nicole just silently sipped their tea and listened to the exchange between the two.

“Please continue your story, Princess,” Ethan said. “I want to hear more about the Tide Bringer.”

“Very well,” Princess Eva nodded. “So after the Tide Bringer summoned a thunderstorm, he wiped out the Tribe that wished to enslave the people who had cared for him.

“Perhaps, hoping that no other people would suffer from the war, the Tide Bringer strengthened the Thunderstorm, covering the entirety of the Lands of Alastor.

“He then declared that from that moment onwards, the lands were under his protection. Anyone who wished to disturb the peace would become his enemy.”

Princess Eva paused for a bit as she stared at the Trident that was glowing on the back of Ethan’s hand.

Half a minute later, she continued her tale.

“Of course, those who wished for dominion ignored his warning and continued to attack the nearby Tribes that were much weaker than them. Unfortunately, their arrogance and ignorance paved the way for their entire tribes to be wiped from the face of the world.

“The Tide Bringer might be compassionate, but he was a very firm person. Once he declared something, he would do it without fail. After seeing and hearing the one-sided destruction that the Aggressive Tribes were facing, all the other Tribes rejoiced and declared the Tide Bringer as their Deity.

“These Tribes called themselves the Allied Tribes, and they became one of the largest Tribes in the Lands of Alastor. In order to ensure their safety, the Tide Bringer brought them to the City of Zentris, where they stayed for hundreds of years under his protection.

“However, time had come for the Tide Bringer to return to the Sea. But before he left, he promised that one day, he or one of his descendants would return to the Lands of Alastor when the Allied Tribes needed him the most.

“No one knew where he went, but he was never seen from again. His name was forever revered and spoken with pride by the people whose lives he had touched.”

Princess Eva then slowly raised her head to look at the young man’s face, who was listening seriously to her tale.

“You’ve met the Allied Tribes, have you not, Sir Ethan?” Princess Eva asked.

“I’ve met them,” Ethan replied.

“Were they facing a calamity when you arrived?”

“Yes.”

Princess Eva smiled. “Then, did they call you the Tide Bringer when you were there?”

“They did,” Ethan answered.

He was telling the Princess the truth because news of his and Lily’s return had already spread within Eastshire and to the other Shire territories.

Their stories of where they had appeared and what conflict they had taken part in were also recorded by the scholars of the Kingdom.

The reason why this was done was to give hope to those who might find themselves accidentally entering a Nexus.

They want Ethan’s and Lily’s story to become their guiding light in finding the way back to the present, where they rightfully belonged.

Of course, he didn’t mention the part about the Tide Bringer’s Legacy, nor his and Lily’s relationship.

He only said that they had no choice but to join the war because if they didn’t, they would have had no place to go in the Lands of Alastor.

“Sir Ethan, did you know? That even today, the City of Zentris still exists?” Princess Eva asked.

“I know,” Ethan answered.

“Then have you seen the two statues erected in its center?” Princess Eva inquired. “The locals say that it was the Tide Bringer and his wife. In fact, I happened to have a friend send a picture of it to me. Do you want to see it?”

Ethan smiled faintly and nodded his head.

Of course, he had seen the statues that Princess Eva was talking about.

After all, it was the first thing they had seen upon arriving back at the present.

The Princess of Eastshire then held a small blue crystal in her hand and used her magic power to activate it.

A moment later, a projection showing two statues appeared inside the room.

Queen Evane, Nicole, Mary, and Sue, all looked at one of the statues with surprise because it looked exactly like Ethan.

Nicole glanced at the second statue and confirmed that it was indeed Lily.

Whoever made the statues had captured exactly how they looked and preserved them for the next generation to see.

Ethan stared at the two statues and felt nostalgia.

Even so, he had no intention of telling anyone that he had indeed acquired the Tide Bringer’s Legacy, which gave him dominion over the sea.

Princess Eva deactivated the crystal and sighed.

“It’s quite unfortunate that Sir Ethan didn’t acquire the Tide Bringer’s Legacy,” Princess Eva stated. “If you did, you would definitely be hailed as a National Treasure in Eastshire, and your reputation would spread far and wide across the Shire Continent.”

“Indeed.” Ethan nodded. “Quite unfortunate.”

Seeing that he was still not budging, Princess Eva sighed before shaking her head helplessly.

Since the young man didn’t want to admit that he was the Tide Bringer, there was nothing she could do about it.

For the time being, she directed the conversation back to the Ballroom Party that would be happening the next day, ending the talk about the Tide Bringer and his Legacy.
