BXBX NOVEL Chapter 599: Hey, Are You Busy Tonight?
Lilian nodded. "Yes."
"Did he tell you why?"
"He only said that he\'ll go and uncover his true identity in Midgard," Lilian replied.
"Interesting."
The middle-aged man then lightly patted Lilian\'s head. "Well, then. Just be careful. Your mother is very worried about you because she thinks you have entered your rebellious phase."
Cedric, who was standing beside her sister, nodded his head.
"Mother is indeed worried about you," Cedric stated. "You didn\'t tell anyone that you were going to transfer to another academy for the last quarter of the school year. We only found out when we received a letter after everything was already set in stone."
Lilian\'s checks reddened because she did things without consulting anyone. But, she didn\'t regret doing it.
After all, her mother told her that when it came to love, she must not hesitate, or she would regret it for a lifetime.
The middle-aged man chuckled because he could tell that his daughter was very much in love with Ethan.
Fortunately, he was also fond of the young man, so he gave them his blessings after everything had settled down.
"Father, be careful, okay?" Lilian said. "Things are going to be very busy from now on."
"I know," the middle-aged man nodded.
"Well, it\'s something he couldn\'t run away from anyway," a woman, who was in her early forties, said as she hugged Lilian. "Take care, and make sure to always eat on time."
The woman then whispered something in Lilian\'s ears, which made the young lady\'s cheeks turn a shade redder.
"Do things in moderation," the woman whispered, making sure that her husband and Cedric couldn\'t hear it. "You\'re too young to get pregnant."
"Yes," Lilian whispered back. "I\'ve always made sure to drink a potion after."
"Good. I\'ll come visit you and your mother after you return from visiting Ethan\'s family."
"Mmm."
The woman then hugged Lilian before boarding the Flying Ship.
"If anything happens, don\'t hesitate to write to me," Cedric said as he hugged his sister. "No matter what I\'m doing, I\'ll come to you."
"Thank you, brother." Lilian hugged Cedric back.
A few minutes later, the young man boarded the flying ship and waved goodbye.
Lilian waved back and watched as the Flying Ship rose up to the sky.
The other ships, which belonged to the delegation of Eastshire, flew side by side in a formation as they headed back to the capital city of Wisteria.
They were the last to leave Brynhildr Academy, officially ending the conference of all the leaders of the realm—an event that only happened after hundreds of years of disagreement with each other.
For the time being, the entire Shire Continent had unanimously agreed to avoid any conflicts between each other and to focus on the preparation for the upcoming battle against the Fomorians, and possibly the Milesians as well.
"Well, then. Are you surprised, Ethan?" Lilian asked as she looked at the tree in the distance, where the young man was hiding.
"A bit," Ethan replied as he walked toward the young lady, who was still looking in the direction of the flying ships. "When you asked me to come here and hide myself, I didn\'t expect that I would see such a scene."
"I didn\'t want to hide my background from you," Lilian said softly. "I just didn\'t know how you would react when you found out about it. Truth be told, I only planned to tell you once I gained permission from my mother to bring you to our villa.
"But that plan was thrown out the window when you… I mean, I…"
Lilian\'s cheeks reddened because she felt too embarrassed to say that things didn\'t go according to her plan because she had given Ethan her chastity, which she originally planned to only give him after they received the blessings of her parents to get married.
Ethan couldn\'t help but hug the adorable young lady, who didn\'t hesitate to bury her head in his chest because she didn\'t want Ethan to see her embarrassed expression.
"I\'ll find some time to meet your mother," Ethan said, while hugging Lilian. "It may not happen right away after I return from Midgard since I promised to visit Southshire first, but during the next school break, I promise to go with you to your family estate."
"Okay." Lilian nodded after getting Ethan\'s promise. "Hey, are you busy tonight?"
"I\'m free," Ethan replied.
"Then, should we…" Lilian stood on tiptoes and whispered something in Ethan\'s ears, making him kiss her right cheek.
"Okay," Ethan nodded. "Just the two of us?"
"Yes," Lilian replied. "Just the two of us."
After that brief chat, Ethan held Lilian\'s hand as they walked back to Dud Manoor together.
He would be lying if he said that he wasn\'t shocked to learn who her father was. But he was still happy because he felt that he had gotten closer to the young lady, who had decided to be with him forever.
Watching the two from a tree branch was none other than Dantalion.
On his foot was a letter that was sent by his Master\'s grandparents.
Seeing that the young man was about to return to Dud Manor, he decided to wait until Ethan had gone back to his room before delivering the letter.
Just as he was about to fly to Dud Manor, a black raven landed beside him and told him something.
"Strange. Why would he call upon me at this time? Something must have happened to have forced his hand." Dantalion sighed. "Thank you. I\'ll go and see him after I deliver the letter in my possession."
The raven nodded and flew away.
The Leader of the Unkindness, Dantalion, was asked to meet the Raven Master, who had sold him to Ethan.
That person\'s name was Roberts.
Just like all the Roberts who had come before him, Roberts was the Watcher of the Magical World—restricted from fully interfere with its fate, solely focusing on recording its history so that the future generations could learn from the mistakes of their predecessors.
