Chapter 973: A Spark Had Been Ignited
Inside the Jaeger Manor of Brynhildr Academy…
Lily stood in front of her full body mirror, and observed the changes in her body.
Ever since she discovered that she was pregnant, she would look at the mirror without any clothes on after taking her bath and see if she was starting to show a bulge in her lower abdomen.
She was only in her eighth or ninth week of pregnancy, so it was still too early for anything to show.
Even so, she couldn't help but lightly caress her lower abdomen with a faint smile on her face.
Lily didn't have any intention of getting pregnant in the past—at least not this early—and now that it had happened, she still didn't know how it was possible.
She had taken the Contraception Potions that Emma had given her religiously and without fail.
However, after the shock of discovering that she was pregnant had passed, a feeling of happiness followed.
Knowing that she was carrying the fruit of Ethan's love, she couldn't help but feel a tender feeling towards her unborn child.
The only thing that she didn't like about her pregnancy was her morning sickness, which would attack her at any time of the day.
Fortunately, she now knew the cause, and she had helpers who would take care of her during these times of the day.
Chloe, who was in the same Manor as her, would visit her from time to time to check on her condition.
Emma would also visit her regularly and give her some potions that would alleviate her discomfort.
Samantha would visit her two to three times a week to monitor her body using the skills that were only known by the students of Terra Manor.
Joanne was also looking forward to seeing her future niece or nephew, and even declared that she would spoil them rotten.
All in all, all of Ethan's lovers, who were her sisters, were very supportive of her pregnancy.
In fact, although they were feeling envious of her, they were still very excited to see Ethan's First Born.
"No bulge yet," Lily said softly before lightly patting her lower abdomen.
After her daily inspection, she went to her closet to pull on her robes.
Professor Rinehart had made an announcement that everyone should gather at the Coliseum of the Arena because he was going to share something very important with the staff and the student body.
Ethan's Spirit Guide, Dantalion, had communicated with the Ravens of Ethan's lovers and passed the message his Master wished to share with his lovers on to them.
Because of this, aside from Professor Rinehart, Lily and the others were aware that the Fomorians were on their way to the Shire Continent.
The Flying War Ships of the Dwarves had passed through the skies near the academy an hour ago, and they were traveling toward the South en masse.
Those who saw them immediately felt anxious. After all, it was impossible not to feel anything once they saw the impressive Dwarves' Flying Armada, which was armed with the state of the art Dwarven Magical Cannons.
"Ready to go?" Chloe asked as soon as Lily opened the door to leave her room.
Clearly, the young lady had been waiting for her to leave so that they could go together.
"Yes." Lily nodded. "Let's go."
The two ladies walked side by side, as they headed to the Coliseum.
Along the way, they saw the other members of their Manor, all with anxious expressions on their faces.
Even their hushed whispers about leaving the academy to return to their homes didn't escape Lily's ears.
However, her Mother, brother, and sister, who were currently staying in Limeburgh Town, told Lily to stay in the academy because it was safer there than Southshire at the moment.
"Dantalion said Ethan will be arriving tomorrow," Chloe said. "Although I've already seen Illumina when he's used his Resonance, I wonder what the real one is like?"
"Only Joanne and Ramona have met her in person," Lily replied. "I also want to know what she's like."
Chloe nodded. "But the thing I am most excited about is actually meeting Princess Ariel. She has the Cauldron of the Dagda. With this, the Four Treasures of the Tuatha De Danann will appear in the Shire Continent."
Chloe had the Stone of Destiny.
Ethan had Areadhbair.
Princess Ariel had the Cauldron of the Dagda, while the Sword of Light was currently protecting the Royal Palace of Wisteria.
Since the Sword of Light, Claíomh Solais, couldn't be moved from its spot, this meant that they needed to head there instead so that the four treasures could resonate with each other and unlock the seal on the Stone of Destiny.
That was Chloe's final mission.
To find the True King that would pave the path to a new era.
A few minutes later, the two ladies arrived at the Colosseum and sat beside their Manor Mates.
The stands were already filled with people, and most of them were chatting with each other about the Flying Ships that would pass through the skies of their academy from time to time.
Suddenly, a Majestic Elven Flying Ship soared over their heads before disappearing a few seconds later.
"Seeing so many Battleships really makes people worry," Chloe said with a bitter smile.
"Ethan already fought against them," Lily replied sadly. "Unfortunately, the battle is far from over. He will still be fighting on the front lines after this."
"If you weren't pregnant, would you come to fight alongside him?" Chloe whispered.
Lily nodded without hesitation. "Yes. How about you girls? Are you going to fight in this war as well?"
"Only as a last resort," Chloe replied. "Knowing Ethan, he wouldn't want us anywhere near the battlefield. If he sees us there, he might not be able to fight without holding back because he will always have to worry about us."
"True." Lily smiled. "That's just how he is. He's the overprotective sort."
"Mmm." Chloe hummed.
A few minutes later, Professor Rinehart's voice spread in the surroundings. He thanked everyone for coming, and explained the current situation.
After that, he played the recording of Ethan's battle with the Fomorians, shocking everyone silly.
Cedric, who saw the projection, couldn't help but clench his fist.
His eyes were filled with determination, as if he also wanted to experience a battle of such a scale.
Suddenly, the image of a red-haired beauty flashed through his mind, making his gaze soften.
'I wonder what Lyall would say if I told her that I will be going to the frontlines,' Cedric thought about the young lady whom he had been meeting recently.
They had already gone out on a date once and, although she had a fiery personality, Cedric found that he very much enjoyed her company.
His fateful encounter with her, while they were traveling to the academy to see Lily, was truly unexpected.
Since then, Lyall had been pestering him, asking Lily to ask Cedric to meet her outside of the academy.
The two of them would spar against each other without holding back.
There were very few individuals who could match Lyall when she fought with everything she had, and Cedric was one of them.
Ever since his desire to compete with Ethan was ignited in his heart, he never stopped training his Legacy and had unlocked its different levels through blood, sweat, and tears.
Lyall, who had come to acknowledge Cedric as a strong person, would ask him to treat her to dinner after their sparring sessions.
Perhaps due to their mutual respect and acknowledgment of each other's talent and potential, a spark had been ignited, which could open up some possibilities for the future.
