Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 713: Thank You, Father. I’ll Do My Best!

As much as Ethan wished that time would stop so that he could enjoy more of his peaceful life with his lovers, time didn't wait for anyone.

Their three-day honeymoon came to an end, which his lovers also found regretful.

"I'll see the three of you in the academy," Ethan said before hugging and kissing Chloe, Luna, and Lilian.

"You will," Luna replied after she kissed Ethan. "Make sure you're not late, okay?"

"Luna is right, don't be late for the entrance ceremony," Chloe said after she was kissed by the young man. "Also, make sure that you don't ride the wrong train again."

"I won't be taking any trains this time, so you don't have to worry about that," Ethan replied before sharing a sweet and passionate kiss with Lilian, which made Gilbert sigh in his heart.

"Hey, why is there a difference in treatment?" Chloe pouted. "You treat Luna and me too gently."

"Because she likes to be kissed that way," Ethan said. "If you have a preference on how to be kissed, I am open to suggestions."

"Then kiss me like that too," Chloe stated.

"Me too," Luna added.

Ethan smiled faintly before giving his two lovers the same kind of kiss he gave Lilian.

When the two girls were finally sated, they climbed into Wallace's Flying Ship and waved at the young man to bid their farewell.

Agnes and Benjamin had already boarded and were looking at their grandson with smiles on their faces.

"I can already see myself holding my grandchild," Agnes said.

"Same." Benjamin nodded. "I'm looking forward to seeing our family grow."

Ethan's grandparents hoped that both of them would be able to live long enough to see that happen, for that was their greatest wish at his point in time.

"Are you going to give me a goodbye kiss as well?" Nicole asked in a teasing tone.

"You're not leaving, so why should I give you a goodbye kiss?" Ethan asked with a smirk. "But if you insist, I can give you a kiss as well."

"Maybe when I'm about to kick the bucket, I'll consider it," Nicole replied playfully.

"You're too young to kick the bucket," Ethan found himself frowning after hearing Nicole's words.

He could tell that she was joking, but something inside him was making him feel uncomfortable with her words.

"I'll be seeing you very soon, Ethan," Gilbert said in a solemn tone. "You are more troublesome than I thought."

"Have a safe journey, Mr. Gilbert," Ethan replied. "I look forward to having a talk with you and the rest of Lilian's family very soon."

"You better not regret those words, young man," Gilbert commented. "You might come to regret it."

Without another word, the Old Man boarded the flying ship, feeling very worried about sharing the news about the young man's identity with Lilian's parents.

"Have a safe trip, everyone." Ethan waved his hand to bid everyone goodbye.

Wallace tipped his hat toward his son before the Flying Ship took off to the skies.

He watched as it disappeared on the horizon, feeling sad that he wouldn't see them until Brynhildr Academy opened its doors once again.

"Ethan, we will be leaving too," Catherine said sadly. "I don't know when we can see each other again, but don't hesitate to visit Caer Wydion when you have time."

"I will, Mother," Ethan replied as he kissed his mother's cheek and gave her a hug. "Thank you for meeting my family, as well as my lovers."

"You're welcome." Catherine lightly patted her son's back. "Make sure to inform us when you're going to marry your other lovers. I'll drag your father along even if I have to tie him up."

Joanne, who was standing beside her mother, giggled after hearing her statement.

Her father was very powerful, but she had a feeling that even he would be helpless when her mother decided to drag him with her to her brother's wedding.

Ethan looked at his sister before crouching down to kiss her cheek.

"Make sure to not make things difficult for anyone back at the castle, okay?" Ethan said seriously. "Also, stop throwing tantrums just because you don't get your way."

Joanne smirked before planting a kiss on Ethan's cheek. "See you soon, brother."

"See you soon," Ethan replied before lightly patting her head.

After the brother and sister pair spent half a year in the Magdar Kingdom, their relationship had gotten better, and they were now very close to each other.

"Young Master, we will be accompanying Lady Catherine and the Young Miss for the time being," Enzo stated. "Please, don't get into trouble while I am away."

"Enzo, you make it sound like I go look for trouble as a hobby," Ethan said bitterly.

The Old Catkin chuckled before giving Lilith a brief nod.

Lilith nodded back. Enzo had talked to her an hour ago, so there were no longer any words that needed to be said between them.

Fortuna hugged her daughter and kissed her forehead. As much as she wanted to stay, she had an important role to play back in Caer Wydion.

"Make sure to keep yourself and the Young Master safe." Fortuna rested her hand on Emma's shoulder. "If anything unexpected happens, don't hesitate to send a letter."

"Yes, Mother." Emma nodded. "I'll keep in touch."

After the people from Caer Wydion boarded the ship, they bid everyone goodbye before it, too, rose slowly toward the sky.

Soon, it disappeared into the horizon, making Ethan sigh in his heart.

Perhaps, sensing his sadness, Lily, Emma, and Lilith went to hug him.

However, there was one more lady who joined them, which made the corner of Ethan's lips twitch.

Lyall hugged Ethan from behind and didn't hesitate to give Ethan's backside a squeeze, which made Nicole, who was watching from the side, chuckle due to the young man's expression.

"Feel free to use the villa until you decide to return to the Academy," Seff said. "Also, I don't mind getting a grandchild within the year. You can even leave them here while you go to school. I promise that we will raise them properly."

"Thank you, Father," Lyall replied. "I'll do my best!"

"Please don't do your best," Ethan said bitterly. "I don't want trouble coming my way. At least, not now."

Seff, who had no idea that Ethan was in danger of being chased by Progenitors if ever Lyall succeeded in having his child, only laughed because of his daughter's antics.

More or less, he understood that Ethan had no interest in Lyall, but since this was their business, he decided to not intervene in it.

While the young man was feeling helpless by Lyall's attitude, the entourage from Caer Wydion was discussing something important as they headed East.

"Joanne, are you sure about this?" Catherine asked as she held her daughter tightly.

"Yes, Mother," Joanne replied. "I have already decided."

"Very well. I'm sure your father will also approve of this."

"Mmm!"

The beautiful lady then shifted his attention to the Old Catkin, whom she trusted very much.

"Enzo, I'll leave everything in your hands," Catherine said as she gave Joanne a tight hug. "Make sure to keep them safe."

"I will, My Lady," Enzo replied before respectfully bowing his head. "I pledge my life to it."

The members of the Protector Clans who were on the ship, also bowed as they made their own pledge to carry Catherine's instruction without fail.

Their Patron had already warned them of the dangers that the Shire Continent would be facing soon.

Unfortunately, Catherine and Lleu had their hands full in the Lands of Saraqael.

Because of this, they could only rely on the Protector Clans to move in their stead and keep their children safe and happy to the best of their abilities.
