Chapter 947: Good News and Good News Depending On How You Look At It
Chloe had been busy searching for the whereabouts of the Cauldron of Dagda.
Every weekend, she would leave the academy with Koko and the Chesmire Cat to search for its whereabouts.
But after visiting all the places on her list, she finally decided to wait for Ethan's return. Perhaps he was able to acquire any information during his trip to the seas of Midgard.
Just as she was about to return to her room to have a proper rest, she noticed a young lady leaning against the wall with her hands covering her mouth.
She didn't recognize the lady at first, but when she moved a bit closer, she realized that it was actually Lily.
"What's wrong?" Chloe asked in a worried tone. "Are you sick?"
"Just feeling a little nauseous," Lily replied. "Don't worry. It will pass after a while."
Seeing how pale she looked, Chloe supported the young lady's body and helped her return to her room.
After learning that Lily had been suffering from dizzy spells and nausea over the past few days, Chloe felt that something was very wrong.
Lily lived a very fit and healthy lifestyle.
Heck, she was even healthier and more fit than Chloe.
Because of this, the young lady was very concerned that Lily might be suffering from an illness that needed to be diagnosed by a health professional.
"I think you should go to the infirmary," Chloe proposed. "I'll take you there."
Lily's first instinct was to refuse, but after suffering for the past few days, she thought that there might indeed be something wrong with her.
But seeing that Chloe was still wearing traveling clothes and still looked tired from her journey, Lily felt apologetic.
"You should change and wash up first," Lily said with a smile. "I'm feeling a bit better now. I'll wait for you to freshen up before we go to the infirmary."
"Are you sure?" Chloe asked. "You might need some emergency treatment, you know?"
"It's fine," Lily shook her head. "Don't worry. I'm really feeling better now, and I'? at least well enough to wait for you."
Chloe reluctantly nodded before leaving to return to her own room.
All of Ethan's lovers recognized Lily as his First Wife, so they would not hesitate to help her if she ever found herself in a tricky situation.
Because of this, although she was indeed tired from her journey, it only took Chloe half an hour to wash up and pull on a new set of clothes before she returned to Lily's room.
The two young ladies then headed to the infirmary.
Along the way, they met Luna, who greeted them with a smile on her face.
"You're finally back, Chloe," Luna gave her best friend a hug. "I missed you."
"I missed you too," Chloe replied, returning Luna's hug.
After greeting each other, Luna glanced at Lily and noticed that she looked a bit pale.
"What's wrong?" Luna asked. "Are you perhaps not feeling well?"
"She's not feeling well," Chloe replied on behalf of Lily. "I'm about to take her to the infirmary, so Professor Galena can take a look at her."
"I'll go with the two of you as well," Luna said as she moved to Lily's right side. "Do you want me to support your body?"
Lily felt something warm spread inside her chest. These sisters of hers were supposed to become Ethan's first wives. But because she skipped a few steps ahead in the line, she ended up as Ethan's First Wife.
However, after the initial surprise faded, the three of them got along really well and became very close friends.
"Thank you, but I can still walk," Lily answered.
"Okay." Luna smiled.
The two ladies then escorted Lily to the Infirmary.
Fortunately, there were no patients around, so Professor Galena was available.
"You're feeling nauseous and often feel dizzy at random times of the day?" Professor Galena pondered for a bit after hearing Lily's symptoms. "Let me feel your pulse for a bit."
The Professor then placed her two fingers over Lily's wrist and closed her eyes. A minute later, she looked at the young lady with a doubtful look on her face.
"Can you stand?" Professor Galena asked. "I will use a special spell that will allow me to get a better look at the problem."
Lily nodded and stood up straight, heeding Professor Galena's instruction.
"Okay, I developed this spell just a month ago, and after using guinea pigs for the past few weeks, I'm certain that this spell won't have any side effects if used on a person," Professor Galena said in a mischievous tone.
The Professor then waved her wand and pointed it at the young lady in front of her.
"Deprehendere~"
A white light erupted from the tip of the professor's wand and circled around Lily's head.
It continued to circle around as it slowly descended as if giving Lily an in-depth body scan.
When the white light reached Lily's feet, it then flew in front of her and transformed into something similar to an X-ray chart.
The only difference was that it only showed the silhouette of Lily's body as if they were looking at a gray shadow that was standing upright, showing a perfect replica of the young lady.
The gazes of the ladies noticed a faint light shining within the gray shadow's abdomen, which made Professor Galena say "I knew it."
Lily, Chloe, and Luna looked at the Professor, who was looking at Lily with a complicated look on her face.
"Well, I have good news… and something that might be good or bad news depending on how you look at it," Professor Galena said. "So, which one do you want to hear first, Lily?"
"The good news, Professor," Lily replied in a heartbeat.
"The good news is that you're not really sick," Professor Galena replied. "But the hormones in your body are acting up, which is causing the symptoms of nausea and dizziness."
"Then what about the good or bad news depending on how you look at it?" Chloe asked.
Since Ethan wasn't around, she felt that she needed to take care of Lily while their lover was away.
"Well, as a Professor, I have a strong urge to give Ethan a good smack because he has disappointed me," Professor Galena said in a serious tone. "However, as someone who had made an Oath to the Tree of Life, I also believe that this is a blessing given to the two of you."
Suddenly, Lily, Chloe, and Luna had a realization, making them look at the gray shadow's abdomen, which was giving off a faint light.
Lily then subconsciously placed her hand over the area of her womb, making Chloe and Luna look at her as well.
Princess Galena, who saw the three young ladies' reaction, nodded her head in confirmation.
"I don't know if I should say congratulations or not," Professor Galena removed her glasses, as she looked at Lily with a gentle gaze. "But congratulations. You're pregnant."
"I-I'm pregnant?" Lily muttered as she looked down at her abdomen.
Chloe and Luna didn't know if they should congratulate her or not because this was something that they weren't expecting.

Chloe was still a maiden, but she and Ethan had already done it inside her dreamscape. Also, Ethan would make love with her without going all the way, allowing her to experience her lover's love.
Luna, who had gone all the way with Ethan, had always used a contraception potion afterward, greatly lowering the chances of getting pregnant with his child.
Naturally, Lily, who understood that now was not the time to get pregnant, also religiously took the contraception potion after making love with her husband.
So she couldn't help but feel shocked that something that shouldn't have happened had happened!
Somewhere in World's End, the giggle of a woman spread in the surroundings.
She was looking at her crystal ball, amusedly watching the things that were happening to Lily.
Even though her big surprise had been discovered earlier than she expected, she didn't feel bad about it.
In fact, she was already looking forward to how Ethan would react once he discovered that he was now going to be a father.
"This is what you get for toying with my feelings, you brat," Lady Hecate said with a sweet smile on her beautiful face. "I can't wait to see your face when you return to the academy."
The Progenitor of Magic laughed out loud like an evil Witch, which reverberated across the entirety of World's End.
Those who heard her laughter couldn't help but shudder because it sounded so sinister and evil, making their heart shudder inside their chest.

In the Kingdom of Saphirus…
Ethan was jolted awake because he heard someone laughing inside of his head.
However, the moment he opened his eyes, he could no longer hear the laughter, which made him wonder if he was just hearing things.
"What's wrong?" Illumina, who had taken a human form and was completely naked, asked, as she continued to hug Ethan's body. "Did you have a bad dream?"
"I don't know," Ethan replied as he tried to calm down his wildly beating heart. "I feel like I heard someone laughing at me a moment ago."
"It might just be a dream," Illumina commented before kissing Ethan's cheek. "Let's go back to sleep. Wilhelmina will be arriving tomorrow."
Ethan nodded as he once again closed his eyes and pulled Illumina closer to him.
The Mermaid Princess was more than happy to rest her head on Ethan's chest and wrap her arms around his body.
Soon, the two of them fell asleep in each other's arms.
Not knowing that thousands of miles away, the fruit of Ethan's and Lily's love, had finally borne fruit, nestling safely inside the young lady's womb.
