BXBX NOVEL Chapter 545: She’s In Heat
But when they realized that the one personally escorting them back was none other than Professor Rinehart and saw the mild-mannered Headmaster smile in their direction, these people immediately backed away.
"The two of you should rest properly," Professor Rinehart said as soon as they landed. "Fortunately, tomorrow is Saturday and Monday is also a holiday, so you can rest for three days."
It was already around lunch time when they arrived, so they headed to the academy\'s dining hall to eat after taking Nicole\'s newest friend to the Bestiary, allowing Snowflake to also rest.
As soon as they arrived, several eyes darted in their direction.
Luna, Lily, Lilian, Emma, and Chloe all looked relieved when they saw Ethan.
For some reason, news of what happened in Westshire already reached the academy, and several students looked at Ethan with varying expressions on their faces.
Everyone now knew that Ethan had acquired the Epic Legacy of one of the Colossi who once terrorized the entire continent, Queen Celestia.
This news had a profound effect on everyone, especially the sons of the Noble Families.
Langston didn\'t hesitate to spread rumors that Ethan had become greedy and decided to take the Legacy for his own, endangering the lives of the people in the entire continent in the process.
He was also pushing for the possibility that Ethan was already consumed by the Legacy and had become the Water Fairy Queen\'s puppet with the mission to spy on the Shire Continent.
Of course, not many believed these rumors, but there were people who believed it.
More than anything else, the ladies who had strong feelings toward Ethan were very worried about him.
Although they knew that Ethan was strong willed, the proven fact that those who tried to gain the power of Epic Legacies had been consumed from within made them feel anxious.
They would be heartbroken if the young man, whom they loved, was now just an empty husk that was being controlled by the Water Fairy Queen.
"I\'m fine," Ethan said as soon as she sat beside Luna and held her hand under the table. "Nothing happened to me, Luna."
Luna did her best to control her emotions, but she wasn\'t able to stop the tears that fell from her face as she lightly squeezed Ethan\'s hand.
Nicole, who had returned to their table, found herself being interrogated by her Manor Mates, asking her to confirm if Ethan really gained the Epic Legacy or not.
Naturally, she told them the truth and reassured them that Ethan was in full control of his new powers.
Lilian, who was seated across Ethan, looked at him as if she was mesmerized by his good looks.
The Legacy inside her body was stirring uncontrollably, and it was affecting her emotions.
Ethan felt the intensity of Lilian\'s gaze, so he turned his head and smiled back at her, making her face turn beet red.
"Welcome back, Ethan," Henry said with relief. "I\'m glad that you\'ve come back safely."
"Thank you, Head Prefect," Ethan replied. "I\'m glad to be back as well."
After that greeting, Ethan started to eat, enjoying the delicious food that he hadn\'t eaten for the past few days.
Despite the fact that everyone was paying close attention to him, he ate with gusto, not caring about what others thought of him.
Half an hour later, Ethan, Luna, and Lilian returned to the Dud Manor in order to have a proper talk.
To their surprise, Lily caught up to them, and the four of them gathered inside the young man\'s room. As soon as the door was properly closed behind them, the three ladies didn\'t even waste any time and proceeded to hug and kiss Ethan, making him feel loved.
Lilian, in particular, kissed him more passionately than Luna and Lily, making him feel that something was off with her.
"She\'s in heat," Lily commented with a knowing smile. "She\'s giving off the scent of a lady who wants to copulate."
"C-Can you not word it that way?" Lilian stuttered as a blush creeped on her face. "I can\'t help it, okay? Even now, I feel like I\'d do anything to be as close to him as possible. My Legacy is acting weird."
She didn\'t even bother to correct Lily\'s statement, which proved that she was not able to think properly at this time.
\'I knew it,\' Ethan\'s Other Half commented. \'Her Legacy of Rivers and Lakes are reacting to the Legacy of the Water Fairy Queen. She is already attracted to Ethan because of the power of the Tide Bringer\'s Legacy.
\'After obtaining Queen Celestia\'s Legacy, this attraction not only doubled, but might have even quadrupled, making Lilian unable to control her feelings.\'
\'So, Lily is right?\' Sebastian arched an eyebrow. \'She\'s in heat because of Ethan?\'
\'Yes. It\'s like Ethan had cast a Charm Spell on her, so she wants nothing more than for Ethan to eat her up.\'
\'Must be hard on her. Lilian is someone with a strong will and self-control. For her to be this helpless means that our boy here has become too handsome for her to resist. It will be best if you take responsibility, Ethan. The poor girl is having a hard time because of you.\'
Ethan, who could see the feverish look on Lilian\'s face, couldn\'t help but feel sorry for her.
Because of this, he made her sit on her lap and wrapped his arms around her.
Lilian sighed in relief and happiness before she rested her head on Ethan\'s shoulder and closed her eyes.
"Before I say anything, I\'d like you guys to meet my new friends," Ethan said.
A moment later, several blue orbs of light shot out from Ethan\'s body, transforming into Water Fairies.
"She is their leader, Nika," Ethan stated. "Nika, these are my lovers. Luna, Lily, and Lilian."
"I am honored to meet Prince Ethan\'s lovers," Nika said.
""We are honored to meet His Highness Lovers!""
The other Water Fairies said, and bowed respectfully.
"Lilian, I want to introduce you to someone," Ethan said softly, making the young lady in his arms, open her eyes.
Her gaze then landed on a small fairy, who was looking back at her with an anxious look on her face.
"Lilian, meet Aria," Ethan introduced the Gatekeeper of Queen Celestia\'s Domain to his lover. "Aria, this is Lilian. I hope that the two of you can get along well."
Lilian, who was very sensitive to the power of Ethan\'s Legacy, felt her power stir as she looked at Aria.
The small fairy, too, felt a sense of familiarity coming from Lilian, making her feel comfortable around her.
"Lilian, can you make Aria your familiar?" Ethan asked. "I brought her here for that reason."
"I\'d love to," Lilian replied. She outstretched her hand toward Aria, and the little fairy didn\'t hesitate to land on the palm of her hands. "She\'s so cute."
"You\'re very pretty too, Lilian," Aria smiled sweetly, making the young lady giggle.
After that short introduction, Ethan then began to tell his lovers about what truly happened inside the Legacy Domain, and the things that happened after he left it.
He made sure to tell Lily about the shenanigans that Lyall had pulled inside the Domain, making her sigh and shake her head helplessly.
However, when he came to the part where the Asta Family blocked their path, the three ladies in the room all looked at him with solemn expressions on their faces.
The Asta Family wasn\'t an ordinary family, and they could even be said to be one of the Pillars of Eastshire.
They believed that if this matter was not handled properly, then it would lead to serious consequences, especially if the King of Eastshire didn\'t do anything to intervene and settle the dispute once and for all.
