Chapter 551: Please Do Your Best, Papa
Since time seemed to always come to a complete stop whenever he met Fortis Dud, he explained everything that happened to Sebastian and his Other Half, wanting to hear their opinions.
\'But if they messed with Ethan, it\'s best to eliminate them, right?\' Ethan\'s Other Half smirked. \'Since they wish to harm them, we can just fight back, right?\'
\'Of course,\' Sebastian smirked as well. \'That counts as self defense, so it\'s fine. If that\'s the case, then we can get their Legacies without feeling guilty.\'
The two villains laughed evilly inside Ethan\'s Sea of Consciousness. The young man could only shake his head helplessly.
He didn\'t wish for a time to come where he would simply start killing people in order to farm Legacies.
The mere thought of that happening made him shiver. He knew that if ever such a time did come, he wouldn\'t be himself anymore.
Just like what Sebastian had said, he would be no different from a Savage Monster, whose only goal was to gain more power.
Ethan would never stoop to that level, because it went against his principles.
Just as he was deep in his thoughts, he heard a knock on his door, which made him wonder who it was.
When he opened it, he was surprised to see that it was none other than Lily, which made his expression immediately become solemn.
Lily would only come to see him if there was something important, so seeing her now automatically made him wonder if something bad had happened or was about to happen.
"Calm down," Lily said as she entered the room and closed the door firmly behind her. "You\'re making a scary face."
As if to ease Ethan\'s worries, she wrapped her arms around his neck, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him on the lips.
Ethan hugged her gently and kissed her back, which put his heart at ease.
"You\'re so silly, Ethan," Lily said as she looked up into his face. "Must I only come to see you if there\'s trouble?"
"Sorry, I was just overthinking things," Ethan replied. "Everything is just messy right now, with the Nobles targeting me after what happened inside the Epic Legacy Domain."
The young lady nodded in understanding. She wasn\'t completely clueless because she received a letter from her Mother and sister, Lyall, telling her about what was going on in Southshire.
Her Father managed to calm down the Clans who had lost their prodigies inside the Legacy Domain.
Just like Seff had said in the past, the Beastkin Race liked to bear grudges. For this reason, they were looking for an avenue to vent their frustration.
In order to make them stop targeting Ethan, Seff made a bold declaration.
He announced to everyone that Ethan, who gained the Epic Legacy Domain of the Water Fairy Queen, was Lily\'s Fiance.
What did this signify?
It meant that the Leader of the Beastkin recognized him as his son-in-law.
Seff was telling his people that if they have a problem with his son-in-law, they should say it to his face.
Originally, Seff intended to hide this news from Lily.
However, Lyall, who had a penchant for gossip and was head over heels for Ethan, spilled the beans to her sister.
The crazy girl even asked Lily to help support her feelings for Ethan so that the two of them could be together as well.
"All good things must stay in the family!"
Those were the words that Lyall had said in her letter, making Lily smile bitterly after reading it.
The letter from her mother, on the other hand, was quite positive as well.
Some Legacies were hereditary, so the moment she heard that Ethan had gained an Epic Legacy, she ordered her daughter to secure his First Child after they graduated from the academy.
Also, even if Lily\'s child didn\'t inherit Ethan\'s Legacy, they will still inherit his powers, so it was a win-win in her book.
"As much as I love your sister, Lyall, make sure to keep her away from Ethan as much as possible. Remember, the first child should be yours!"
Just thinking about what was written in the letter made Lily blush, even more so as she met her lover\'s beautiful blue eyes, which were looking at her with love and affection.
"What\'s up?" Ethan asked. "You\'re zoning out."
"I just remembered what my mom said in my letter," Lily replied. "She said that I should have your Firstborn after we graduate from the academy."
Sebastian and Ethan\'s Other Half, who was inside Ethan\'s Sea of Consciousness, glanced at each other before exchanging a fist bump between bros.
Clearly, they liked this idea very much, making them root for Ethan\'s and Lily\'s happiness.
A very rare blush appeared on Ethan\'s face after Lily\'s confession. Whenever he made love with his lovers, he made sure to drink a potion that lowered the virility of his seed so that he wouldn\'t accidentally make them pregnant.
Of course, the ladies didn\'t know this and used their own means of contraception, to prevent childbirth.
As much as they loved each other, they also understood that having a child was a heavy responsibility.
They were still not ready for it to happen at this point in time.
Ethan nodded. "Okay. Let\'s talk about this after we graduate."
"Yes," Lily said as she stood on tiptoe to whisper something in Ethan\'s ears. "When that time comes, please do your best, Papa."
Ethan\'s body shuddered as if an electric current passed through his body.
A moment later, he opened the window of his room, carried Lily like a princess, and flew towards the back of the Library, where his secret tree house was located.
Lily was simply too irresistible, so he couldn\'t help but want to have intimate moments with her.
But when they arrived at the tree house, they found Luna, Lilian, and Emma having a secret meeting, making Ethan\'s body stiffen the moment he saw them.
"Good. You\'re finally here, Master," Emma said with a smile. "I asked Lily to bring you here because we have something important to talk about."
Ethan blinked once then twice before looking at the beautiful young lady in his arms.
Lily giggled because Ethan\'s face was simply priceless, especially after seeing that the others were also gathered in the Tree House.
"Don\'t worry, I won\'t tell them," Lily mouthed the words without making a sound, giving Ethan some time to process his feelings.
He then remembered that Lily came to talk to him about something, but one thing led to another, so she wasn\'t able the reason why she came to see him.
Seeing the giggling girl in his arms, Ethan playfully pinched Lily\'s buttocks, making the latter giggle more and hug him tightly.
Luna and Lilian, who were more innocent, may not have picked up the reason why Ethan came to the Tree House.
But Emma was different.
She was his Promised One, and she shared a powerful connection with her Master.
Of course, for his sake, she didn\'t say anything and simply waited for him to sit on the couch, while still holding Lily in his arms.
A minute later, the black-haired beauty told Ethan the news that came from her family, which surprised Luna, Lily, and Lilian, who still didn\'t know Ethan\'s true background.
