Chapter 864: It’s Hard Being Single, Right?
A few days passed since Ethan, Lilian and Cedric started their journey to the Nightfall Academy, located in Grandshire.
Along the way, they noticed several flying ships who were headed in the same direction.
Some of these ships belonged to the academies at odds with Brynhildr Academy. But this time, they made no move to hinder their path or engage them in combat.
This was a fortunate thing. After all, if they really attempted to attack Ethan's Flying Ship, all of them would have been annihilated on the spot.
With three Legacy Holders on board, they were a force that could even defeat an army if they were forced to a corner.
"You look troubled," Ethan said to Lilian, who was watching the scenery pass by on the deck of the ship.
"I am," Lilian replied. "Nightfall Academy has been good to me and, truth be told, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have left."
"Do you regret it?" Ethan inquired.
"No," Lilian answered firmly. "I'm glad I transferred. If I stayed behind, I wouldn't be as happy as I am now. Still, I am worried that some of the victims that went missing are my friends from the academy."
Ethan hugged Lilian from behind, and rested his head on her shoulder. He wanted to let her know that he would always be there to support her and that she shouldn't hesitate to ask for his help no matter what.
"Lilian, I know I haven't told you this, but back then, I found you very annoying," Ethan said. "You were like this spoiled princess who thought that you could get away with everything just because you and your brother were celebrities in Nightfall Academy."
"Mmm. We did start on the wrong foot when we first met," Lilian admitted. "I was indeed haughty and arrogant back in Nightfall Academy. I manipulated people in the background to take care of those who offended me. Of course, I never resorted to violence. I would simply tarnish their reputation and make sure that they would no longer be able to offend me again." "What a bold, bad girl," Ethan commented. "Anything else I should know?"
"I... I once thought of tying you up on the bed and having my way with you," Lilian replied. "But since our Legacy resonates well with each other, my sensitivity is heightened to the limit. In the end, it's you bullying me every time we make love to each other.
"Is that the lady who visited Lily before Ethan left the academy last time?"
"Yes. That's Lily's sister, Lyall. She has a very outgoing personality and is very bold when it comes to relationships. I can be your wingman if you want."
Cedric pondered a bit. Since Lily was Ethan's wife, and his sister was Ethan's fiance, Lily's family would also become part of his family. He had seen Lyall from a distance, and he had to admit that her looks were above average.
"You seem interested," Emma said in a teasing tone after seeing Cedric seriously pondering her proposal. "She's quite a catch, you know? If not for the fact that Ethan had already married Lily, there's a chance he might have married Lyall instead. If you don't hurry, she might get snatched away by someone."
"...What is she like?" Cedric inquired.
The corners of Emma's lips rose up into a smile. Clearly, she was only half serious about becoming Cedric's wingman.
However, she was also curious to know how Lyall would view Cedric, who was also a very handsome and powerful wizard in his own right.
Merric and the Catkin who overheard Emma's words, pretended that they didn't hear
anything.
As someone who had traveled with Lyall, all of them had varying opinions about the beautiful lady whose red hair color was as fiery as her personality.
Merric glanced at Cedric for a few seconds before chanting a silent prayer in his heart, blessing the teenage boy whom Emma was trying to throw as bait in front of the hungry wolf
that might devour him whole.
He believed that not many men could tame Lily's sister, whom even the Vampire Lord, Godfrey, didn't want to touch with a ten-foot pole.
But since this wasn't his problem, he pretended not to hear anything and guided the Flying Ship toward their destination, which they would reach in half a day.
