Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 546: A Lowly Noble Household Dares To Harm My Master?

"What do you plan to do now?" Lilian asked in a worried tone.

She knew perfectly well what the Asta Family was capable of, and knowing that they were targeting Ethan made her worry.

"I plan to talk to Emma later," Ethan replied. "I'll ask her to help me send a message to the Protector Clans and request that they protect my grandparents and Chloe's Family from the Asta Family.

"I don't know if they will help, but they are the only ones whom I can lean on at the moment. Also, I will try to convince Nicole at a later time to no longer participate in the Heir Wars. I have a feeling that they will set a trap for her or might even use her as a hostage in order to blackmail me."

Luna and Lily frowned after hearing Ethan's reply. It was evident that their dislike for the Asta Family had reached a new height, especially after learning that they might start targeting Ethan's and Chloe's families.

"There is also a possibility that the Asta Family will not be the only family who will start targeting me," Ethan explained. "The families whose prodigies died inside the Legacy Domain might think that I'm the easier target compared to the Asta Family, who know I've caused their loved ones to die."

The more Ethan shared his worries, the deeper the frowns that appeared on his lovers' faces grew.

"I don't like this," Lily commented. "If this happened in Southshire, my Family would have dealt with all these problems in one go. We don't like being on the passive side of things."

Luna sighed sadly because she was also unable to help Ethan with his ordeal.

She belonged to a small Barony, and her family had always taken a neutral stance when it came to the conflicts between Nobles. Because of this, she could also not ask them for help.

And even if she did, what they could do was very limited and would not change anything.

"Don't worry," Ethan replied. "I'll think of something."

After talking for another hour, Luna and Lily left the room, leaving Lilian and Ethan behind.

"Lilith, come," Ethan ordered.

A moment later, the Black Cat jumped out of his shadow and sat on the floor in front of him.

"Tell Emma to meet me later in the Secret Tree House," Ethan ordered. "You already know what I plan to do, so inform her of that as well."

Lilith nodded. "As you wish, Master."

The Black Cat jumped out of the open window of Ethan's room and disappeared from sight.

"Are you feeling better, Lilian?" Ethan asked before kissing her forehead.

"I feel calmer, but the moment we separate, I'm afraid that my condition might turn for the worse," Lilian replied honestly.

"Understood. Then how about you accompany me for a bit? I will take the Fairies to the Lake behind the Academy, which will become their temporary base.

"Then I will go to the treehouse and wait for Emma to arrive. I will then tell her that I wished for my grandparents and Chloe's parents to be protected. After that…"

"After that?" Lilian asked because Ethan paused and didn't continue what he was going to say next.

"After that, why don't we head to Limeburgh Town?" Ethan proposed. "We don't have classes tomorrow, so we can stay overnight."

Lilian could feel her cheeks burning because she understood the subtle implication from Ethan's invitation.

Originally, she planned to wait until she had introduced Ethan to her family. However, her current condition was something she couldn't control, making her unable to resist the loving gaze that the young man was giving her.

"Okay," Lilian replied in a very low voice.

Although she was feeling a bit scared about taking that last step in her relationship with Ethan without consulting her family, she could no longer hold herself back.

She knew that the moment she accepted Ethan's invitation, she was at the point of no return. It was a little unsettling, and yet, her heart was telling her that she had nothing to worry about.

She would be safe with Ethan, and he would love her just as much as she loved him.

That was the only thing that Lilian needed to know, so she cupped Ethan's face and kissed him passionately.

The Fairies, who were still inside the room, covered their faces with their hands. But their covers were futile since they still peeked through the deliberate gaps between their fingers.

"You're still too young for this," Nika said as she covered Aria's eyes. "Wait until you've grown a bit older."

Aria, who had no idea what the High Pixie was talking about, didn't resist and obediently stayed put.

Several minutes later, they all left Ethan's room and flew toward the lake at the back of the academy.

When the Fairies saw their new home, they couldn't help but shout in joy and dive into the crystal clear waters, which immediately made them feel at home.

As a race who lived near rivers and lakes, this was the perfect environment for them, allowing them to set up their own territory and protect Ethan while he was in the academy.

"I'll bring you girls candies tomorrow, so make sure to behave while I'm away, okay?" Ethan said. "Nika, take care of Aria for now."

"Sure thing, Your Highness." Nika nodded in understanding. "I'll look after Aria until you come to pick her up."

After making sure that the Fairies were satisfied with their new territory, Ethan and Lilian flew toward the Library and entered the Secret Tree House, where they would wait for Emma.

To their surprise, Emma was already there and had even brewed some tea for their arrival.

"Lilith has told me what you need, Master," Emma said. "I will write a letter today and send it to my family. I might not be able to speak for all the Protector Clans, but I believe that they will dispatch the veteran fighters to ensure yours and Chloe's families are safe."

"Thank you, Emma," Ethan replied. "You are the only one I can count on for this."

"Master, do you want me to tell them that you wish for the Asta Family to be destroyed?" Emma inquired. "We can do that too, you know?"

Ethan pondered for a bit before shaking his head.

Although he and the Asta Family seemed to be at the point of no return, he didn't want an entire family to be erased just because of this.

Of course, if they truly did something toward his and Chloe's Families, all bets would be off, and Ethan would want nothing more than to see their entire bloodline eradicated from the face of the world.

But since Nicole still carried the family name, Asta, he believed that there was still a possibility of a compromise.

Seeing that the young man still hesitated to give the kill order, Emma nodded her head in understanding.

However, she would still write in her letter that they should send people to watch the Asta Family's every move.

If they did anything even remotely dangerous that might harm Ethan's well being, then even without his orders, they would move in for the kill.

'A lowly Noble Household dares to harm my Master?' Emma sneered inside her heart. 'They have no idea who they are dealing with.'

Ethan disliked conflicts, but the same thing couldn't be said for Emma.

As his Promised One, her duty was to ensure his safety above her own safety.

Because of this, she was willing to tell the Protector Clans to ruffle the Asta Family's feathers and make them understand that there were people who would not allow them to do as they pleased.

Especially when it concerned the safety of their Young Master, whom they were waiting to return to Midgard to discover the true secret behind his bloodline.
