Chapter 598 Know That Wherever You Are In The World, You Will Never Be Alone

The next day, the King of Eastshire was in the Dining Hall to spend his last day at the academy.

All the students, who would probably not get an opportunity to see the King of Eastshire in their lifetime, were ecstatic when they saw the King and Queen seated beside the Headmaster of the academy.

Ethan, who had the opportunity to dine with them a day ago, wasn’t that ecstatic, especially since the King also invited Oscar to join them for dinner at that time.

Although the experience seemed pleasant on the surface, with everyone talking as if they were old friends, the young man was still wary of the Patriarch of the Asta Family, who had given the order to hunt him down.

Nicole had made him read the letter that was sent to her by Oscar.

Ever since Ethan saw his announcement declaring that the one who could kill him would be chosen as the next Patriarch or Matriarch of the Clan, the tiny bit of respect or good impression he had left of Oscar vanished completely.

Ethan even asked Nicole in a teasing manner if she would jump at the opportunity to kill him, but the young lady only smiled and pulled him close to be used as her personal heatpad because her body temperature had dropped to freezing levels once again.

Truth be told, he was very concerned about her condition, but Nicole would just brush it off and say “the cold never bothered me anyway”.

Ethan didn’t believe her because he understood that Nicole was a strong independent lady who would never show her weakness to anyone.

In the end, Ethan just hugged her until her body’s temperature returned to normal. While they embraced each other, she would shudder every now and then, so Ethan would lightly pat her head and tell her that she was going to be fine.

Nicole didn’t say anything, but when her body returned to normal, she thanked Ethan and told him that she would call for him again when she needed a bed warmer.

Of course, the young lady received this treatment in Dud Manor.

If Ethan were to go to Eques Manor, Nicole wouldn’t be able to sit still because everyone, including their mothers, would start to gossip about her.

The young man was then broken out of his daze when King Austen made a speech before everyone could start eating.

“It has been many years since I studied here in Brynhildr Academy,” King Austen said. “I have many fond memories in this place, and I am sure that all of you have them as well. Right now, I stand before you, not only as your King, but as an individual who wishes to make our country a better place to live in.

The King was subtly telling him that whether Ethan managed to grow properly, or not was entirely up to the Headmaster of the Academy.

“I’ll do my best to protect him within the walls of my institution,” Professor Rinehart stated. “Unfortunately, he is someone who shouldn’t be caged in one place. He needs opportunities and experiences to grow. For that to happen, he will need to leave this safe place from time to time to challenge himself.

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm “That’s the only way he could grow to his fullest potential. As for the rest, it should be handled by the one who sits on the throne of Eastshire.”

King Austen rolled his eyes at the shameless Headmaster who decided to toss the responsibility to him.

The Queen giggled because she found this quite funny.

“Well, I sincerely wish for everyone to have a brighter future,” Queen Evane said as she once again looked at Ethan, who was being handfed a muffin by Lilian. “So, all of us should fight to make that happen.”

Professor Rinehart and King Austen nodded their heads in agreement.

The children should not be the ones shedding blood and standing at the front lines of the battlefield.

It should be the adults, like them, who must hold the line and ensure that the seeds of the next generation would have time to grow and that Eastshire would once again stand stall after being battered by a terrible storm.
