Each legendary permanent you control has ward {2}. (Whenever it becomes the target of a spell or ability an opponent controls, counter it unless that player pays {2}.)
Once a ward ability has triggered, causing that legendary permanent to lose ward by removing Gold-Forged Thopteryx won't affect that ability. The appropriate player will still have to pay {2} or see their spell or ability countered.
