BXBX NOVEL Chapter 476: Make Sure That She’s Safe
Emma, who was busy cleaning Ethan\'s ears, didn\'t say anything and quietly listened, while her Master told them everything that had happened in the Royal Palace.
She was quite interested in his story, so she carefully cleaned his ear, and didn\'t interrupt him even once.
Luna, Lily, and Lilian, who were all seated on the opposite couch, calmly sipped their tea as they, too, listened to Ethan\'s story.
\'So, she appeared in front of Ethan,\' Lilian thought. \'How unexpected.\'
As a High Ranking Noble, Lilian knew the secrets behind Claiomh Solais and its Will, who goes by the name Zia.
Lily and Chloe had no idea who the plain-looking girl was, but they believed that she played an important role in the Kingdom of Wisteria.
"Well, then. Did anything else happen?" Lily asked. "You only talked about yourself. How about Nicole? What did she do after the Asta Family made a scene? Did she challenge them to a duel or something?"
"No." Ethan shook his head. "She didn\'t challenge any of them. She just drank a few glasses of champagne to vent her frustration."
"Oh?" Lily arched an eyebrow after hearing that the person, whom she considered her rival, had resorted to drinking. "Did she get drunk?"
"She did," Ethan answered. "But in order to prevent her from doing something reckless, I took her back to her room and asked the maids to get her changed."
"That\'s it? You left her alone while she was dead drunk?"
"No. After she got changed, I took her to my room and locked the door. I wasn\'t going to let her sleep alone in that state, especially since the Asta Family might come to find her later."
Luna, Lily, and Lilian placed their tea cups on the table and eyed Ethan, waiting for him to continue his story.
"Sorry to disappoint the three of you but nothing happened," Ethan said with an amused look on his face as he looked at his lovers, who seemed to be waiting for some juicy gossip.
Lilith, who was hiding inside Ethan\'s shadow, "knew" that something happened, but she didn\'t plan on telling anyone about what she saw.
Also, she was very happy with the gift Ethan gave her, so she didn\'t plan to expose the minor things that happened that night.
Lily looked disappointed, while Luna and Lilian both looked amused.
Emma remained silent as she lightly tapped her Master\'s head, telling him that it was now time to clean the other side of his ear.
Ethan obeyed and turned around, making his back face the three girls, who resumed drinking their teas.
"Still, Lord Edmond said that you will be accompanying him on an expedition after a few weeks," Lilian commented. "Did he tell you where?"
"No," Ethan replied. "If possible, I don\'t want to go. But he told me that I needed to go no matter what. I think he is going to ask me and Nicole to come with him at the same time as when the Mission Hall opens up."
Lily, who had suddenly remembered something important, decided to share something interesting with Ethan.
"Today, Chloe approached me and asked if I could accompany her to dive in a dungeon," Lily shared while leaning on the couch. "I don\'t think that she\'s on the list of First Years who would be allowed to take missions from the Mission Hall.
"When I told her this, she only said that Professor Nicola would give her permission to leave the academy on the condition that she would not dive in a dungeon alone. Should I come with her?"
"Please accompany her, Lily," Ethan replied in a heartbeat. "Make sure that she\'s safe."
The young man had almost raised his head after hearing that Chloe would be diving into a dungeon.
However, Emma had already anticipated that he would react in this manner, so she hurriedly placed her hand over Ethan\'s head, firmly holding him down, while she took the earpick out from his ear.
Fortunately, Ethan\'s control over his body was strong, so he was able to fight the impulse of raising his head and possibly poking his ear in the process.
Also, it was also thanks to Emma\'s quick action that allowed him to regain his composure before it was too late.
"Thank you, Emma," Ethan said apologetically.
"It\'s fine." Emma lightly patted her Master\'s head to assure him that she didn\'t mind it.
Lily also felt apologetic because it completely slipped her mind how Ethan would react to her news.
"I see. So that\'s the reason why Chloe isn\'t always in the Jaeger Manor after classes." Luna nodded her head in understanding. "Maybe Professor Nicola is giving her personal coaching."
Ethan remained silent because he didn\'t expect that their Spell Casting Professor would suddenly give his cousin private training.
\'It must be because of that incident long ago,\' Sebastian commented. \'Do you remember that practical lesson with the Silencing Spell? Maybe Professor Nicola took a liking to Chloe when she succeeded in silencing Lord Edmond.\'
\'To silence a Wizard of that caliber is no easy feat.\' Ethan\'s Other Half nodded in agreement. \'Maybe Professor Nicola saw Chloe\'s potential and thought that it would be a waste to not polish such a rough gem.\'
Ethan didn\'t know if he should be happy or not after discovering that his cousin had caught the eye of one of the most powerful witches in the academy.
Half of him wanted to cheer Chloe on, while the other half felt anxious because he had a feeling that he understood what the Professor was thinking.
He could only think of one reason why Professor Nicola would send his cousin to a dungeon, and that was to gain battle experience.
Perhaps, Lily knew this as well, which was why she decided to share this news with Ethan. This way, he would be informed that Chloe would be doing something dangerous.
However, since Lily would be by her side, she would ensure that one of the people who was close to Ethan\'s heart would be safe from harm.
