Chapter 548: The Gremories Have Their Own Ways To Protect Themselves

After having breakfast in the Inn, Ethan and Lilian flew back to Brynhildr Academy.

However, instead of heading straight to Dud Manor, they went to the lake behind the academy first.

There, they were welcomed by the happy-go-lucky Fairies, who were having a good time in their new home.

"Lilian!" Aria shouted happily as she flew toward her Master, who had formed a Familiar contract with her.

"Aria, good morning," Lilian greeted back as the little Fairy kissed her right cheek.

"Good morning, too!" Aria replied before shifting her gaze to Ethan. "Good morning as well, Prince Ethan."

"Just call me Ethan," Ethan commented. "All of you should stop calling me Prince. This is an order."

""Okay~""

The Fairies readily accepted Ethan's request, especially since the young man had taken out several bags of candies and was giving one for each of them.

Ethan watched with great amusement, as the Fairies lined up, so that they could receive their bags of candies properly.

They were very orderly, which was the complete opposite of Ruby, and the other Fairies in the Garden, who would just surround Ethan and demand that their candies be given to them.

"Wow! So many sweets!"

"Hurray for Prince Ethan!"

"Hurray for our Fairy Prince!"

"Long live His Highness!"

""Long Live!""

Ethan could only shake his head helplessly, while Lilian giggled beside him. Searᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The Fairies had just agreed to stop calling him Prince or Your Highness a second ago, but they have all completely forgotten about it after they received their candies.

"Please, Nika, make sure they don't cause trouble," Ethan said as he handed the High Pixie her own bag of candies.

"I'll do my best, Your Highn—err Ethan," Nika stuck her tongue out before flying away with the bag of candies in her hands.

Ethan sighed before shifting his gaze to Aria, who had received her own bags of candies from Lilian.

He was quite happy to see the two of them getting along well.

The pair stayed at the Lake for two hours and played with the Water Fairies using water magic.

Ethan's control over his Legacy Powers had improved tremendously after making love with Lilian.

His Magic Circuits had completely peeled off its old layer, and now revealed their crystal-like transparency, which allowed better flow of magical power throughout Ethan's body.

All of the leaks had all been repaired. The only one left unhealed was Ethan's Magic Core, which was responsible for allowing him to generate his own magic power.

However, all it needed was one last push, and Ethan would finally be able to wield magic power inside his body like normal Wizards and Witches.

'Your Magic Circuit is very different from that of a Human, Ethan,' Sebastian commented after seeing the changes in Ethan's body.

'Of course, it's different,' Ethan's Other smirked before whispering something in Sebastian's ears, making the latter's eyes widen in shock.

Sebastian then stared at Ethan's Other Half giving him the "Are you serious?" gaze because what he just learned about now was truly shocking.

'Yes, I am,' Ethan's Other Half replied. 'But don't tell Ethan, okay? He will know it in good time.'

'Got it! But seriously, I wonder how he and his lovers will react when they get wind of this.'

'I'm also looking forward to that as well.'

The two villains chuckled at the same time, making Ethan subconsciously shudder.

He had no idea what Sebastian and his Other Half was discussing inside his head, but whatever it was, he felt that he didn't want to know about it anytime soon.

After playing with the Fairies, the two finally returned to Dud Manor, where Lilian was dragged to her room by Luna so that the two of them could have some girl talk.

Henry, who had also just returned to the Dud Manor at that time, asked Ethan if the two of them could talk in private.

Knowing that the Head Prefect would only do this if it was about something important, Ethan didn't hesitate to accept his invitation to talk in private.

"The Headmaster asked me to tell you to not leave the academy for the time being," Henry stated. "Even going to Limeburgh Town is not an option."

Ethan frowned, but in the end, he still nodded his head in understanding.

"Before I returned here, I passed by Nicole in the Hallway, and from what I can tell, she had also been summoned to the Headmaster's Office," Henry added. "If I have to make a guess, he will give her the same warning that I have given you. But I believe there is more to it than what is seen on the surface."

Ethan pondered for a bit, and the only thing he could think of was that the Headmaster planned to warn or maybe ask Nicole about her next plan regarding the Asta Family.

Truth be told, he wanted to convince Nicole to no longer participate in the Heir Wars because he had a feeling that the Asta Family would use that as an opportunity to eliminate her and Ethan, while making it look like an accident.

Now that Vladimir and Constantine were dead, the remaining candidates were feeling more hopeful because their chances for success had increased.

Of course, Ethan didn't know if Oscar would still continue the Heir Wars or not. But as far as he could tell, the only decent candidate that was left was Nicole.

The rest of the members from the Main and Branch Families, who were participating in the Heir Wars, were all mediocre in talent and ability.

Simply put, if he were Oscar, he would immediately put a stop to it and announce Nicole as the next Patriarch of the Asta Family.

But Ethan didn't believe for a second that Oscar would do that.

No.

He might use Nicole as a means to get to him. This was one of the reasons why Ethan wanted to have a proper talk with Nicole and convince her to quit the Heir Wars because it was no longer worth it.

However, she would still have the last say.

Ethan would not allow the Asta Family to hurt his close friend, and if things really did become messy, he would ask the Protector Families to make their move.

Right now, he didn't have the authority to give them an order. But he believed that if he really asked them for help, they would not hesitate to send their experts to help him.

What he didn't know was that Emma had already added this to her letter.

It would take a few days for her Raven to arrive in the Meredith Clan's territory in Midgard.

But she believed that with the contents written in her letter, the Protector Families would definitely make their move.

Emma was even hoping that they would outright destroy the Asta Family.

However, she understood that they would not do that, unless it was absolutely necessary or Ethan had given them an order.

After talking for half an hour, Henry left Ethan's room to give him some time to think.

At that moment, a White Raven flew inside his room and landed on top of the table.

It was none other than Dantalion, Ethan's spirit guide and messenger.

The White Raven had left to deliver his Master's letter to his grandparents, letting them know of the danger that they were currently facing.

He hoped that the two of them would hide for the time being until things died down.

But the letter that Dantalion brought back to him, which was Agnes' reply to his letter, told him that they would not leave the farm and that he should not worry about them.

"We might be weak, but the Gremories have their own ways to protect themselves."

That was the reply that his Grandma Agnes had written to him, making the young man feel anxious.

He didn't know much about his adopted family because the only ones that he had seen all his life were his grandparents.

His adopted Father would appear from time to time, but it would only last for a day or two before he would leave again to who knows where.

Ethan had once asked his grandparents if his adopted father was working in a far away place, but the two of them only said yes and never elaborated on the topic.

His adoptive Father was mysterious to say the least, making him a complete mystery to Ethan even now.

'I just hope that Emma's message arrives in the Meredith Clan soon,' Ethan sighed in his heart.

He knew that he wouldn't be able to sit still if his grandparents or Chloe's parents were threatened because of him.

He understood himself more than others, and with the powers he currently possessed, it would not be difficult for him to do something reckless and put an end to the Asta Family's threat once and for all.
