Chapter 914: Don’t Fall For Her Honey Trap [Part 1]



Two days after Ethan visited Samantha's family...

"For some reason, I feel like Professor Nicola was targeting me during the mock group battle," Ethan complained.

"She IS targeting you," Chloe replied with a smile.

"Why?" Ethan arched an eyebrow.

"Maybe she wanted to test how much you've grown during the Field Missions," Chloe answered. "Right now, you are the strongest Second Year of the academy-at least that's what we see in the Academy Rankings."

"Academy Rankings? Does such a thing exist?"

"It's an unofficial ranking made by the students. They even have the Top 10 Beauty Rankings."

Ethan suddenly became curious and asked Chloe who was in the Top 10 Beauty rankings, but she just ignored him.

Having failed to receive an answer, he decided to put this matter aside for the time being and ask George later.

As they were about to return to their respective manors, Ethan saw Lilian talking to her brother, Cedric, beside a tree, which piqued his curiosity.

"I'll leave first," Chloe said before giving a kiss on Ethan's cheek. "See you at dinner."

"Okay." Ethan smiled.

Chloe no longer thought much about showing her affection to Ethan in public. This was also her way of ensuring he knew that they were now joined at the hip despite not having done the deed.

Ethan wondered whether he should approach the brother and sister pair, and in the end, he decided that it would be best if he gave them some privacy.

'If something happened, I'm sure that Lilian would tell me,' Ethan thought.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Half an hour later, Lilian went to find him in Dud Manor, wanting to talk to him about something important.

"I still haven't received a letter from my parents," Lilian said with a sigh. "I even sent another letter four days ago, but there was still no reply. It seems that they have no intention of meeting you."

Since she and her grandfather were present during Lily's wedding, they were able to meet Ethan's mother, Lady Catherine, and Ethan's sister, Joanne.

Although she understood that this might cause problems for her family, Lilian had no intention of marrying anyone aside from Ethan.

She believed that her parents knew this too, so the only thing they could do was delay their inevitable meeting with Ethan.

Unfortunately, time was something that Ethan didn't have right now.

With so many matters happening within the Shire Continent and abroad, the young man couldn't afford to wait until Lilian's parents were ready to meet with him.

"Our hometown is quite far from the academy, and it will take at least a day to get there by Flying Ship," Lilian stated.

"Then we'll leave right after classes end this Friday," Ethan replied. "I'll ask Merric to prepare for the journey. You don't have to worry about anything else aside from meeting your

parents."

"Okay," Lilian nodded. "Let's do that. I'm sure you'll get along well with my mother."

"How about your father?" Ethan inquired.

"... I don't know."

"Mmm."

Since he didn't want to force this issue, he simply hugged the young lady in his arms and assured her that everything was going to be fine.

The days passed ever so swiftly, and before they knew it, the day for Ethan and Lilian's departure had come. As soon as classes ended, the couple left the academy.

They prepared everything they needed in the past several days, so everything was ready for their journey.

Perhaps the only thing that wasn't ready was Lilian's heart since she was worried about the outcome of Ethan's meeting with her mother.

The journey didn't even last a full day because Merric made sure to increase their flight speed, almost shortening their travel time by half.

Just as the sun was about to rise from the East, the Flying Ship arrived in Tarragon City, where the Raylight family lived.
