Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 245: Legacy Of Rivers And Lakes [Part 1]

"Please come in," Ethan said upon opening the door to his room.

"Thank you, Sir Ethan," Lilian replied as she entered the room.

Ethan stepped in after her and then firmly closed the door behind him.

Lilian looked around and couldn't help but think that the room was smaller than she expected. Aside from the bed, the couch, the table, and the three chairs, there was not much else inside the room.

Of course, the furniture was of high quality. It was just that, compared to what she had in her villa, there was really nothing special about them.

Ethan then offered his hand to Lilian, which surprised her. However, thinking that Ethan just wanted to assist her on sitting on the couch, she accepted and placed her hand on his with a smile on her face.

But instead of leading her to the couch, Ethan escorted her to the bed, making the young lady's face turn beet red.

'W-Wait, don't tell me he invited me to his room to do THAT?!' Lilian thought anxiously.

Ethan then stopped beside the bed and made a gesture for Lilian to sit on top of it, which she did subconsciously.

"Your dress looks very good on you," Ethan praised with a smile that made the heart of his guest beat wildly inside her chest.

"T-Thank you, Sir Ethan," Lilian stuttered as he looked at the handsome young man, who was looking down on her with a gentle smile on his face.

Ethan could tell that Lilian liked him. He had seen similar expressions on the faces of the ladies of the Great Tribes, as well as the Noble Families of the Magdar Kingdom in the Lands of Alastor.

When he visited the King of the Magdar Kingdom, even his daughters, who were known to be spoiled princesses, looked at him with lovestruck eyes the moment they heard that he was the Tide Bringer.

Simply put, he understood what it felt like to be a celebrity.

And right now, he could tell that he was like a celebrity in Lilian's eyes.

Even if she didn't have any romantic feelings for him, she was still similar to a fan who had seen her favorite actor up close, making her unable to think properly.

Of course, he didn't plan on harming Lilian in any way. All he wanted was for her to answer some of his questions honestly.

While Ethan was thinking about what to say, the young lady in front of him was trying to calm her wildly beating heart.

'There are only the two of us inside the room, and the door is locked,' Lilian thought. 'Since this is a guest room, there is soundproofing magic in place. There is also no chance of someone forcing themselves in since Sir Ethan specifically made it known that he would talk to me in private.'

Lilian's face became a shade redder as she started to entertain these thoughts inside her head.

'Am I really going to do this?' Lilian pressed her hand over her chest as she looked at Ethan with anxiety and a hint of anticipation on her face. 'It's my first time, and I'm not sure if I'm ready. But if it's Sir Ethan… I think I can accept it. Mother, Father, I'm sorry, but I don't think I will be able to retain my chastity after today.'

While Lilian was preparing her body and heart, Sebastian and Ethan's Other Half looked at her with pity.

——————————

"This girl has lost it," Sebastian said. "She's like a willing sacrifice to the Gods. Even if Ethan were to pin her down on the bed and have his way with her, she wouldn't resist."

"Yes. It's such a shame," Ethan's Other-Half commented. "She's a beauty, and her attire highlights her innocence. Unfortunately, she was raised to be a schemer. It just so happens that Ethan's charisma had made her momentarily lose her composure, making her an ordinary girl who is lovestruck in front of him."

"Hey, do you think that Ethan will really take advantage of this girl? Although I don't approve of how she set a trap for Ethan and Luna when they went to have dinner with her, she doesn't deserve to be eaten up like this."

"Don't worry. Although our Ethan can easily have his way with this girl, it's not like he has the guts to do it."

"Oh? And why is that?"

"Luna will probably stab him with a kitchen knife if he makes love to any girl in the academy aside from her."

"I can see that happening. Those shy and quiet girls are scary when they get angry."

"I know, right?"

"… Oi, I can hear the two of you, you know?" Ethan admonished his two critics who were running their mouths inside his Sea of Consciousness.

"Of course, you can hear us," Sebastian replied. "We are making sure that you hear us, Duh!"

"Do you want us to be quiet?" Ethan's Other Half asked in a teasing tone. "Don't worry. Even if you do the deed and ravage this girl, we promise not to tell Luna anything."

"That's right," Sebastian chuckled. "So, don't mind us and do your thing!"

——————————

The corner of Ethan's lips twitched, hearing Sebastian's and his Other Half's teasing tones. However, he still had things to do, so he decided to ignore their shenanigans for the time being.

Lilian had been lowering her head since earlier, knowing that staring at Ethan for a long time would only make her heart beat faster.

"Lilian, there is something that I want to ask you," Ethan said as he lightly placed his finger under Lilian's chin and slowly raised it to make her look him in the eye once more. "I want you to answer my questions honestly, okay?"

"… Yes, Sir Ethan," Lilian said softly. "It is my first time, so please be gentle with me."

The young lady then closed her eyes and puckered her lips. She thought that Ethan was going to kiss her, so she decided to simply offer her lips to him of her own volition.

Sebastian and Ethan's Other Half laughed loudly inside his Sea of Consciousness, and even started to chant, "Kiss her! Kiss her! Kiss her!" over, and over again like the bad friends that they were.

Ethan was at a loss for what to do. He had no intention of kissing Lilian, but the girl's current expression looked so comical that it made him feel a bit bad for her.

Perhaps, tempted by how cute and innocent she looked, Ethan decided to tease her a bit and used two of his fingers to press over her lips, making her think that he actually kissed her.

But this prank backfired on him because Lilian really thought that her first kiss had been taken away from her.

The young lady momentarily blanked out because Ethan's "kiss" only lasted for a brief moment, making her unable to get a better feel and taste of it.

Even so, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at the handsome young man with dazed eyes.

"Lilian, I want you to be honest with me," Ethan said softly. "When you invited us to dinner, did you already plan to invite your brother?"

"Yes, Sir Ethan," Lilian replied with a flushed look on her face. "You see, this is the first time that my Brother has become interested in a girl. Originally, I planned to help him out, but after finding out that Luna is your fiance, I decided to try and break up your relationship.

"I know that it was wrong of me to do, but I want my brother to be happy. I thought that once Luna saw how handsome and capable he was she would fall into his seduction and break up with you. My plan was to form a closer connection with you after the two of you broke up. I apologize for making things difficult for you. I promise that it will not happen again."

Lilian's confession flowed so smoothly, that even Ethan was surprised with how she did not hesitate in the slightest to admit that she had planned everything.

Truth be told, Lilian was thinking that since Ethan kissed her, it meant that he also cared for her, and might even make her one of his lovers. Because of this, she decided to be honest with him, so that both of them could have a fresh start.

She even planned on helping to protect Luna from the advancements of her Older Brother. Although Lilian loved her brother, her body and heart now ached for Ethan's touch.

As if a condition had been met, magic power started to swirl inside the room and started to gather in Lilian's chest.

Sebastian and Ethan's Other Half, who had been laughing earlier, both quieted down as they stared at Lilian in surprise.

"This girl is carrying a Legacy!" Sebastian gasped. "And if I am reading it right, it's a Legacy that resonates with the Tide Bringer's Legacy."

"What an interesting turn of events," Ethan's Other Half commented. "Ethan, ask her to unbutton her dress so that we can see the emblem on her chest. If you act now and drop a bit of your blood on it, she will become your slave. You should do this now. She will be an invaluable asset to you in the future."

Sebastian wanted to say that doing this wasn't the right thing to do. However, after remembering that Lilian had tried to scheme against Ethan in the past, he decided to remain silent and simply waited for the handsome young man to make his own decision.

Ethan heard his Other Half's advice, but he completely disregarded it.

Enslaving people, especially a young lady like Lilian wasn't something that he was willing to do, he didn't want to treat people as tools. That was simply not the way he did things.

He simply looked at Lilian as if trying to understand what was happening to her. However, he could also feel his heart beating wildly inside his chest as if it was reacting to the power that was oozing out of Lilian's body.

At this exact moment, his wand appeared, and Illumina materialized beside him.

Just like Ethan, she was paying close attention to the girl in front of her, who was currently emitting a strong magical power.

She could feel that Ethan's Legacy was starting to stir inside his body despite the fact that his Magic Circuits were still damaged.

This only meant one thing.

Lilian could help heal his Magic Circuits, and perhaps, she could also allow him to recover to a certain extent, bringing him one step closer to regaining the thing that was rightfully his by birth.
