Chapter 867: Aren’t Babies Delivered By Storks?
Two hours after the merchants finished setting up their camp, a light drizzle started to fall over them.
At first, they thought it would stop soon, but the rain continued to fall through the night.
Samantha had already told her team and the other teams that it might rain and that it would be best to stay inside their wagons for the night.
Fortunately, they all listened to her advice. It did help that they also thought that it might rain due to the dark clouds hanging on the sky.
Joanne ate warm soup and chatted with Princess Ramona about how she wished that Ethan was with them.
She believed that if her brother was there, he could easily stop the rain from falling by clearing the skies with a wave of his hand.
"Although Ethan can do that, I'm sure he wouldn't disperse this rain on a whim," Princess Ramona said with a smile. "This is part of the natural order of things after all. Unless it is truly urgent, most Wizards and Witches wouldn't manipulate the weather on a whim."
"Right... By the way, Ramona, how far have you gotten with my brother?" Joanne asked in a teasing tone.
The sudden change in topic caught the Princess by surprise. Fortunately, she wasn't eating anything at the moment because she might have choked due to her best friend's sudden question.
"W-Why are you suddenly asking me these things?" Princess Ramona stuttered.
"Well, you're going to be my sister-in-law, aren't you?" Joanne asked. "Is it bad to ask about these things?"
"Joanne, you're still a few months away from becoming thirteen years old, and you're already asking about these things?" Joanne gave her best friend a reprimanding gaze.
"What's the problem?" Joanne blinked. "Just so you know, don't think I'm unaware of such things. How can you call a Stork to deliver your baby if you don't become proactive." "Stork?"
"Yes. Aren't babies delivered by Storks? Grandpa said that was how I came to the family." Princess Ramona and the two Handmaidens, Themis and Eunomia, facepalmed at the same time.
"H-Hey, why are the three of you acting like this?" Joanne suddenly felt that something was wrong after seeing the reactions of her team members. "This is common knowledge, you know?"
Princess Ramona eyed her best friend before coming to an understanding.
"Actually, you're right." Samantha nodded. "All my friends are in the same boat as me. We get love letters and marriage match-ups on a regular basis. Even Sir Henry and our former Head Prefect, Irene, were a couple."
The four teenagers talked until they retired for the night.
But around midnight, Samantha woke up because nature was calling her.
The rain had stopped, but the ground was a bit muddy, so she used magic to make herself hover above the ground.
She then approached the trees not far from their camp in order to relieve herself.
Given the camp's close proximity, there were watchers who served as the lookout, so she wasn't too worried about her safety.
A few minutes later, she finished her business and floated back to where their wagon was
parked.
However, when morning came, Samantha was nowhere to be seen.
George's and Joanne's teams searched the area to look for any of her traces, but they found
none.
It was as if she had disappeared out of thin air.
Even the watchers who were guarding the camp only saw her head to the trees in the distance.
But after checking where she went, they didn't see any footsteps because she used magic to
hover above the ground.
Due to this emergency, Luna temporarily joined Joanne's team to escort the Merchants towards their destination.
George and Sabrina, on the other hand, continued to look for their missing member, who had disappeared without a trace.
