Chapter 330 His And Everyone’s Circumstances

“He left?” Conall asked with a dumbfounded expression on his face. “He’s not in the academy?”

“Yes,” Lily replied. “He went home to see his family. Why? Is there something wrong with that?”

“… Didn’t you tell him that he’s supposed to spend his Winter Break with our family?” Lyall asked in a disappointed tone. “I want everyone to meet him.”

“Oh. I forgot.” Lily smiled. “I’ve been rather forgetful these days. Must be the cold weather.”

Conall clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction. He originally wanted to have a rematch with Ethan in their territory, but it seems that he had to put this matter on hold.

He wasn’t stupid.

It was obvious that Lily was protecting her lover from their family.

There was only one problem.

Their father and mothers were expecting to see him with Lily when they returned to their home.

“You deal with Father’s tantrum later.” Conall sighed. “I’m washing my hands on this matter.”

“W-Wait! How about we go and visit his family?” Lyall proposed. “Then we drag—errr, invite him politely to spend his vacation with us.”

Lily glared at her older sister, making the latter avert her gaze. Clearly, Lyall really wanted to see Ethan and bring him back to their family.

“It’s useless,” Lily replied. “Even I don’t know where his family lives, and even if I did, I would not bring you with me.”

The young lady no longer bothered talking to them anymore and started to walk away, headed to the South to go back home.

Conall shrugged and followed behind Lily.

Lyall, on the other hand, stomped her feet and pouted before following behind her siblings.

It was true that she wanted to see Ethan, but she was more eager to see how her parents would react after they saw him.

She had been anticipating what kind of reaction each of them would have ever since she left to accompany her brother on this journey.

However, after coming to understand that the entertainment that she was eagerly waiting to see wouldn’t be happening anytime soon, she became extremely disappointed.

Nightfall Academy…

“Have you packed everything?” Cedric asked.

“Yes,” Lilian replied. “I had everything packed three days ago. I’m more than ready to go home.”

Cedric nodded.

His gaze lingered briefly on the pearl bracelet that hung on his sister’s right wrist before opening the door of the carriage, allowing Lilian to climb in first.

When his sister was properly seated, he climbed the carriage and closed the door.

It had been a while since they last saw their parents, and he was looking forward to meeting them after not seeing them for many months.

He was also very eager to know if they had already taken the initiative to talk to Luna’s family about making her his fiance.

While the carriage was moving to their destination, Lilian recalled the talk she had with Professor Rinehart before she left Brynhildr Academy.

After thinking about it for the past few weeks, she decided to have a serious talk with her parents about her future plans.

She didn’t know whether they would agree to her proposal, but she wouldn’t lose anything by trying.

Because of this, she had steeled her resolve and took the chance.

If she succeeded, then good.

If not, she would find other ways to make it happen.

Training Ground of Brynhildr Academy…

“Hah… they all left already,” Nicole sighed as she looked up at the sky with her arms crossed over her chest.

From a distance, a flying carriage being pulled by a Pegasus could be seen.

This was the carriage that belonged to her family, which they had sent to pick her up from the academy.

Nicole was both eager and afraid to meet her parents at this point in time, especially her mother.

She had tasked her with an important mission, and she had already half succeeded in that regard.

However, the continuation of the mission would have to wait a few months until after the Winter Break, when the Mission Hall opened again.

Since Nicole was one of the few First Years who were given permission to participate in the Field Missions, she would have more leeway with the things that she needed to do.

Also, she had already gained Ethan’s agreement a couple of months ago, so it was already a done deal.

Her only concern was that the two of them wouldn’t be enough to clear the dungeon that she was planning to visit after a few months of harsh training.

‘If only they had given me more slots to make a bigger team,’ Nicole thought with a disappointed look on her beautiful face. ‘If I can convince Sir Henry, Rowan, and a healer to join, we will be unstoppable. Unfortunately, I can only bring one person with me because of the restrictions from my family.

‘My siblings are sabotaging me for the inheritance. I envy Lily’s relationship with her family. At least, they care for each other. My family only wants results, regardless of the methods we use to achieve them. I’m just a convenient tool that they can use because I was born in the Asta Family.’

Nicole sighed because she didn’t know if she was lucky or unlucky.

The only thing she knew was that if she didn’t produce results while on their family’s expedition, she would definitely lose her place in the Heir Wars.

While she was pondering about these things, the flying carriage landed several meters away from her.

‘Time to go home, I guess,’ Nicole mused. ‘I hope my Dear Mother is in a good mood when I arrive.’

The Asta Family was a Knight Family that was considered to be the First Magic Knight Family of Eastshire.

They were the ones who helped the Founder of the Royal Family establish his reign, making their position unshakable.

But, like most Wizarding Families, they were never content with the achievements that their ancestors had gained for their family.

They wanted more and nurtured many talented members of the family like Nicole, who was strong in sword, magic, and mind.

The Asta Family was the Family that produced the strongest Magic Knights of the realm, and to keep that, they did many unspeakable things in the shadows, allowing them to gain the power that they hoped would take them one step closer to their ultimate goal.

Their ultimate goal to nurture a Super Soldier. It was for this reason that they started the Heir Wars.

A war where only one member of the younger generation of the Asta Family would emerge victorious, regardless of the methods used to make it happen.
