Chapter 1062: Make Sure To Save Her As Well, Okay?
Six weeks had passed since Ethan and Chloe returned to the academy.
And in that span of time, the Firbolgs had already visited all the Leaders of the various factions of the Shire Continent and had agreed to enter a Trade and Defensive Alliance with them.
Ethan never thought he'd actually miss attending his classes after experiencing multiple life and death battles that no ordinary student of the academy would ever experience in their lifetime.
Perhaps, deep inside, he also longed for some peace and quiet.
After gaining the authority of the Realm of Arkanthos, Ethan had gained a higher connection with the world and learned of secrets that were only available to the Guardians of their respective realms.
Perhaps this was also why Ethan cherished these peaceful moments-he knew that war was just over the horizon.
He even received a direct message from Zorathul during one of his wanderings in the Astral Plane.
The Gargoyle Progenitor told him that he would pay dearly for taking what belonged to him.
It wasn't hard for the young man to tell that the former owner of the Realm of Arkanthos was incredibly serious, and the latter was likely working on something behind the scenes to make Ethan suffer.
While the world was still at peace, Ethan also visited Chloe's parents to formally ask her hand for marriage.
Of course, their marriage would have to wait until the young lady had graduated from the academy, but this time, Chloe's Father, Soren, finally gave his blessings.
Ethan also visited Luna's, Lilian's and Samantha's families and also formally asked that they bless his future marriage to their daughters.
Fortunately, all of them also approved of Ethan, including King Austen, who understood Lilian's determination.
With his in-laws all supporting him, only Emma and Lilith were left.
Since he couldn't really go to Caer Wydion at the moment, he decided to write a letter to Emma's and Lilith's parents, asking for their daughter's hands in marriage.
Technically, this was already a done deal. To begin with, Emma was his Promised One, while Lilith already received the blessing of Enzo, the current Patriarch of the Orpheus Clan.
However, he still promised to visit them in the future once he was certain that there were no longer any threats to the Shire Continent.
And just as Ethan was thinking that he should go and visit his Grandparents at the countryside, Professor Rinehart declared a four-day-long rest day for the students, allowing them to do whatever they wanted.
This included returning home to visit their parents.
Naturally, Ethan didn't let this opportunity slide. He invited his sister and lovers to meet his Grandparents and stay with the old couple for a few days.
***
Two Days after Ethan returned to his grandparents' house...
The young man looked at his Grandma, whose smile never left her face.
Ethan's eyes softened as he kissed the letter in his hands.
He then read it a second time before carefully storing it inside his storage ring.
'It's my turn to write back,' Ethan thought as he produced a paper and pen, so that he could start writing his reply.
He also had many things to say to Lily, especially about the things that happened during the
past week.
At that exact same time, somewhere in Brynhildr Academy, Nicole slowly opened her eyes. She had been sleeping for a long time in order to recover the strength of her soul.
'Are you feeling better?' Baradiel, who had allowed Nicole to take control of her body, asked from within her Sea of Consciousness.
'Yes,' Nicole replied. 'My body feels heavy right now, but I'm sure that this feeling will go away after an hour or two. Is Ethan in the academy?'
'No,' Baradiel answered. 'He returned to his grandparents' house in the countryside. He'll
probably return after two days.'
Nicole pondered a bit before closing her eyes. 'Please wake me again in two days.'
And with that, she fell asleep once more and passed temporary control of her body to
Baradiel.
A moment later, a sigh escaped the Progenitor's lips as she opened her eyes.
She could still remember the talk that she had with Hecate, telling her about a second option
that would help Baradiel in more ways than one.
Still, she was undecided if doing this was the right thing or not.
However, aside from some discomfort, there were no actual downsides to the proposal of the
Progenitor of Magic.
The only thing that stopped Baradiel from committing to the plan was Nicole's input on the
matter.
Unless the two of them had a proper talk, she would not agree to Lady Hecate's proposal, even if it seemed to be the best option that she had right now.
A/N: Only one long chapter for today. Will resume regular chapter releases tomorrow. As you
all know, we are already at the end game.
If you know what kind of author I am then you might already know what is going to happen next. Kekeke.
