Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

"Wait, why are you not taking us with you today?" Lyall asked. "You plan to go on a date with that Isaac guy alone? You're leaving us here to die of boredom while you have fun?"

"I'm not going to have fun, Lyall," Ethan replied. "Also, Merric and Conall are coming with me."

"That's why I'm asking why you're not bringing us with you?" Lyall crossed her arms over her chest. "Are you afraid that we'll get in the way?"

"No," Ethan replied. "It's because I want you, Nicole, and Hecate to do a different mission."

"Mission… what kind of mission?"

"You're going to follow us secretly and keep watch of people who will subtly follow us from behind. Make sure to identify them properly because we need to capture them at a later time.

"The three of you have the skills to make this happen, so I'm counting on girls to watch my back. I'm pretty sure that our excursion yesterday bore fruit. In fact, there are even people currently observing this Flying Ship as we speak.

"This is also the reason why I asked you to not leave the cabins and show yourselves on the deck. The moment they find out that there are more beautiful ladies on this ship, they might attempt to bring more people to capture the three of you."

"Wait… did you just call me beautiful?" Lyall's expression softened after hearing Ethan's words.

"You're Lily's sister. Of course, you are beautiful," Ethan replied.

"… Why can't you just be honest and just say that I'm very attractive in your eyes?" Lyall inquired.

Ethan ignored her and glanced at Nicole and Hecate, who had smiles on their faces.

"Listen, we have become too high profile yesterday, and have attracted the attention of many influential people in the city," Ethan said. "I don't know if Godfrey and his men are among those people, but the possibility exists. It's fine if they focus their attention on me, and not on you girls.

"Remember. I brought you here because I trust the two of you. No matter what happens, the two of you must keep your identity a secret."

Ethan then handed a Polygender Potion to the teenage girls and reluctantly handed one to Lyall as well.

"Keep a safe distance, and don't make yourselves too obvious," Ethan stated. "Remember the faces of the individuals following me, but don't make contact with them. I will deal with them myself at a later time."

Without another word, Ethan drank the potion in his hand.

A few seconds later, the changes took effect, turning his toned body into that of a delicate young lady, whose beauty had made Prince Isaac and several nobles' hearts skip a beat.

"I'll go first," Ethan said. "Leave the Airship after ten minutes."

After saying those words, Ethan left the room and went to meet Merric and Conall, who were waiting for him at the deck.

After Ethan grouped with the two men, they boarded a carriage that would take them to the city.

Lilith, who was in her cat form, sat on the Flying Ship and watched her Master's carriage head to the city.

She was paying close attention to the people in the port where their ship was parked and sneered when they saw them fly toward the city in haste, most likely to inform their Masters that Lady Ethel was now going to meet with Prince Isaac at the City Gates.

Ten minutes later, three handsome guys emerged on the deck.

Nicole and Hecate summoned their Flying Brooms.

"You can ride with me, Lilith," Hecate said. "Lyall will ride with Nicole."

Lilith nodded and jumped onto Hecate's broom, sitting behind the handsome young man whose appearance now would probably make her best friend, Joanne, tease her to oblivion.

"Remember, Lyall—don't make any scene," Nicole stated.

"Relax," Lyall replied. "I won't mess this up, Mr. Nick."

The two witches didn't fly toward the city right away. Instead, they used a telescope to check if Ethan's carriage had already reached the city gates.

Seeing the carriage go past the City Gates, the Observer Team waited for ten more minutes before taking off to the sky.

Since Lilith could easily track down Ethan through their connection, they would be able to follow him easily regardless of where he went in the city.

"You look very beautiful today, Miss Ethel," Prince Isaac greeted with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Highness," Ethan replied. "I'm looking forward to seeing the places we will visit today."

"As you should, My Lady," Prince Isaac nodded. "I will do my best to give you a memorable experience."

The Prince had also prepared his own carriage, and this carriage was something only the members of the Royal Family used.

It was deliberately designed to have no roof, as it was meant to be used for sightseeing.

Four guards were stationed at the corners of the carriage, standing on platforms meant for their use.

"Isn't that Prince Isaac?" One of the ladies who saw the royal carriage pass by looked at the Prince with eyes filled with admiration.

"Who is that lady with him?" a young man asked. "Is she a princess from the neighboring kingdom?"

"I don't think so," another man replied. "I saw her yesterday, and it didn't seem like she was a princess. If she were one, she would have been surrounded by guards yesterday."

The people murmured as the carriage passed through the streets. This attention made the smile on Prince Isaac's face widen.

He was very happy that his love rivals weren't with Ethel and that she was only accompanied by her Guardian and Retainer.

Also, seeing the faces of the men who were looking at him and Ethel gave him an ego boost.

When a beautiful lady like her was seen with him, the Prince, people would think that they were a match made in heaven. Just this thought was enough to boost his confidence. At the same time, he was also making a statement to everyone that the lady in his carriage was off-limits.

"What a pompous prince," a devilishly handsome man with blonde hair and blue eyes watched the carriage from a distance. "Look at him displaying her in public like a flower that belonged only to him. It's too bad that such a flower is too good for him."

The handsome man chuckled before eyeing Ethel from afar.

Right now, he planned to let the Prince accompany her for a little while as compensation before he went in to sweep Ethel off of her feet.

Although Prince Isaac was a member of the Royal Family, compared to him, he was nothing but an insignificant insect.
