Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 885: A Handsome Guy Is Probably Thinking Of Me



"That middle-aged coot is so annoying,' Sebastian scoffed. 'He even had the audacity to force Ethan to take everything out of his storage ring? Unbelievable.'

'A greedy pig, despite being a skinny man,' Ethan's Other Half spat in annoyance. 'Fortunately, the Head of the Magistratus stepped in and ended the conference then and there. If it continued, that pig would have turned Ethan into the enemy of the people despite being the hero who saved the day.'

Ethan listened to the complaints of his two supporters as he returned to the Flying Ship. Just like them, he was also feeling annoyed because some of the Elders were making things difficult for him.

'Good thing I didn't accept Professor Nero's invitation,' Ethan thought.

The Headmaster of Nightfall Academy was kind enough to offer them a villa, where they could temporarily reside and rest properly.

However, Ethan politely declined his offer because their Flying Ship was much safer, and they could also leave anytime they wanted if things became dangerous.

Also, he didn't want Samantha, who was still in a comatose state, to be subjected to harm and conspiracies.

Letting her rest in his cabin was safer since the Protector Clans were guarding the ship.

As for Lilian and Cedric, they stayed behind after the conference because Lord Edmond and Nero wished to talk to them before they returned to Brynhildr Academy.

As he made his way to his Flying Ship, several Wizards and Witches from Nightfall Academy approached him and personally thanked him for saving their friends.

Ethan didn't expect to receive such gratitude and attention. But since they were thanking him sincerely, he smiled and said that anyone would have done what he had done.

Some of the girls even asked for his autograph, while the bolder ones even asked him to have a picture with them, which he politely declined.

The last thing he wanted was for his picture to be spread far and wide without his knowledge. He already had framed pictures at the Temple of the Tidebringer, which were receiving kisses from countless ladies everyday to show their worship.

In fact, all the ladies that served as the staff of the temple would do it as part of their daily routine.

Kiss his picture once in the morning after they got up, and once in the evening before they went to sleep.

When Ethan was told about this tradition from Princess Ramona, a blush crept up his face, because he found it incredibly embarrassing.

Of course, the Princess wouldn't admit that she kept a personal picture frame of Ethan in her possession and kissed it more than twice a day.

"Merric, prepare for departure," Ethan ordered as soon as he climbed on the deck of the Flying Ship. "When Lilian and Cedric return, we will set off to return to Brynhildr Academy."

"Yes, Young Master," Merric replied respectfully.

After giving his orders, Ethan returned to his cabin.

Lilith, who was in her cat form and lying on the bed, rose up when she saw Ethan enter the door.

The young man lightly patted his Protector's head before shifting his attention to the sleeping lady, who still hadn't regained her consciousness.

"Did you get chewed out by those old fogies?" Lilith asked as she enjoyed her Master's care and affection.

"Yes," Ethan replied. "They are very frustrated because when the people they sent to the cottage arrived, there was nothing to see. After all, I had taken everything and stored it all in my storage ring.

"There's a possibility that Sofia left some notes behind, so I didn't dare take things lightly. It was better to indiscriminately store it all than to miss one clue that might lead to a second Sofia popping up in the future."

Ethan sighed as he reached out to caress Samantha's face. 'Please wake up soon. We have many things to talk about.'

Whenever he touched Samantha, the Origin Magic Crystal inside his body would pulse like a beating heart.

It was as if it was sensing that its owner was nearby and reacting to her magic circuits. "Master, are you planning to take responsibility?" Lilith asked.

"Yes," Ethan replied.

Lilith nodded in understanding. She knew that Ethan was this kind of person, and he didn't take things, especially relationships, for granted.

'I don't know if the Headmaster informed her parents about her disappearance or not,' Ethan thought. 'If Professor Rinehart did it, I'm sure that they're sick with worry right now. I guess I need to accompany her to see her family at least once.'

Ethan pondered a bit before scratching his head.

'I wonder what Lily will say after I tell her that I unexpectedly gained a new fiance during this trip.' Ethan felt a bit troubled. Although Lily was forgiving and loved him very much, he had already surpassed the limit that she had set for him.

'I'm sure it will be fine,' Sebastian commented.

'Or maybe it's not fine,' Ethan's Other Half smirked. 'You're forgetting a certain Mermaid Princess.'

'Okay, Ethan, I think you should prepare yourself for a good beating.' Sebastian laughed. 'Lily might forgive you, but I have a feeling that Illumina will not. She's... that kind of girl, you

know?'

'Right.' Ethan's Other Half nodded. 'You'll get fish slapped.'

A sigh escaped Ethan's lips because he had forgotten that there was one more lady who had called dibs on him.

In fact, when he returned to the Magdar Kingdom with Joanne, Illumina kindly reminded him that she met him first and that they even shared their first kiss with each other.

Of course, the one that Ethan had kissed at that time was his wand, which was made with Illumina's rainbow scale as its magic core.

The two of them spent many intimate moments together in the past, and although they didn't cross the line, they did share hugs and kisses while Joanne and Princess Ramona were busy

playing with each other.

Two hours later, Lilian and Cedric finally returned to the Flying Ship and told Ethan about the aftermath that followed the conference.

"The majority of the people don't believe that you destroyed the Cauldron of Twilight," Lilian said. "But since no one can check your storage ring aside from you, they just decided to turn a blind eye on it, at least for now."

"Be careful, Ethan," Cedric stated. "They are very frustrated because Sofia's cottage was ransacked before their arrival. Of course, all of them are thinking that you're the one who did

it."

Ethan nodded. “Thank you. I'll keep that in mind."

"Ah, before I forget, there is also someone who decided to travel with us back to Eastshire," Cedric said with a smile. "Guess who it is?"

"Lord Edmond?" Ethan answered.

"No," Cedric shook his head. "Someone who will make sure that we're not going to get ambushed on our return trip. It's none other than the Head of the Magistratus, Lord

Gaeneron."

Ethan was indeed surprised that the Head of the Magistratus was personally going to escort them back to the academy.

They said that he had the ability to extract any kind of information from a person's mind, so no one dared to cross him, fearing that their deepest, darkest secrets would be exposed to the

world.

Although he was still wary why such a powerful Wizard decided to protect him, Ethan was still thankful that the risk of them getting attacked on their return trip had decreased drastically. Several minutes later, Cedric left the room, leaving Ethan, Lilian, Lilith, and Samantha

behind.

Although it didn't show on his face, Cedric was wondering why Ethan was so lucky with

women.

He hoped that in the future, he would also find someone wonderful, who would make him feel

complete.

'I'm sure I'll find her soon,' Cedric thought. 'I'm sure of it.'

After moving on from his heart break, Cedric had focused on training his magic, and his

fighting abilities, making him stronger than he was before.

Just like Ethan, he wished to be someone who could protect his lover from those who wished

to destroy her and his happiness.

Somewhere in Southshire...

Lyall sneezed while having a sparring match with her brother, Conall.

"What's wrong?" Conall, who stopped his blow midway, asked.

"A handsome guy is probably thinking of me," Lyall replied. "Must be Ethan."

"Ethan is not the only handsome guy in the world, you know?" Conall snorted. "I thought

you've finally moved on from him?"

"I did," Lyall replied. "But my womb still aches for him."

...

Conall didn't know if he should commend his sister for being optimistic or worry that shen/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

would drug Ethan so that she could have her way with him.

His father had already warned him to keep a close eye on Lyall, so his crazy sister would not

get in the way of Lily's happiness.
