Chapter 729: Heal From The Pain Of Losing A Friend
Ethan and Lily stood side by side in the Headmaster’s office as they looked at Professor Rinehart with guilty expressions on their faces.
“First and foremost, I would like to congratulate the two of you for getting married,” Professor Rinehart said. “There’s no need to feel anxious. Why don’t the two of you take a seat first?”
Ethan and Lily nodded and obeyed the Headmaster’s words.
“Now, as you may already know, I don’t really have problems with your marriage,” Professor Rinehart said. “That said, not everyone shares my opinion. While both of you are already considered young adults, many will think that the two of you are still too young to marry.
“Not to mention that the both of you are role model students-we don’t want other students imitating the two of you. Also, I hope that the two of you aren’t planning to have kids while you’re still in the academy. Having children is a big responsibility, and I believe that Lily is too young to be a mother.”
“Don’t worry, Professor,” Lily replied. “I am making sure to drink contraceptive potions. Neither of us plans on having children anytime soon.”
Professor Rinehart nodded. “Good. I’m sure that both of you are aware that the threat of the Fomorians and the Milesians is upon us. Now is really not the best time to sire children.”
Ethan and Lily both nodded their heads because they were well aware of this matter.
“Also, I would greatly appreciate it if you didn’t openly show your affection to each other in public, especially in front of the students,” Professor Rinehart said. “Behind closed doors is fine. I know that this might be an inconvenience to you, but this is the only solution I can think of to handle this matter in the short term.
“The rumors and gossip will last for a few weeks, and it will continue to linger if there are more people fanning the flames. However, once the sparks die out, they will fade away and be extinguished.
“Once everyone accepts your relationship, I’m sure that there will come a time when you can openly show your affection in public without disrupting the peace of the academy. Do both of you understand what I’m trying to say?”
-“”
“”Yes, Professor.’
“Good.” Professor Rinehart nodded. “Once again, congratulations on your marriage. I pray that both of you will have a happy life together.”
“Thank you, Professor,” Ethan replied.
“Thank you for your understanding, Professor.” Lily smiled.
After chatting for a bit longer, the two teenagers left the Headmaster’s Office, still walking hand in hand.
“Holding hands is fine according to Professor Rinehart,” Ethan said. “Since most couples in the academy do it.”
“Just make sure that you don’t seduce any more ladies during this school term,” Lily replied with a smile. “I don’t want to hear students saying that another maiden had fallen into your lecherous hands.”
Ethan didn’t know how to respond to this, so he only smiled bitterly. He truly had no such intention.
“We are supposed to give Joanne and Hecate a tour of the academy,” Ethan commented. “Would you like to come with us?”
“I’ll pass for now,” Lily replied. “We are quite a hot topic at the moment, so let’s not put more wood into the fire, shall we?”
Ethan glanced at the narrow and empty hallway before giving Lily a quick peck on her cheek. This made the smile on her face widen, and she reciprocated Ethan’s kiss as well.
After that short exchange, the two then parted ways. Lily returned to Jaeger Manor and Ethan returned to Dud Manor, where Joanne and Hecate were waiting for his return.
But when he arrived at Dud Manor, he noticed that there were four Witches standing in front of the door, seemingly troubled about what to do.
Ethan recognized them as the four witches from the Meredith Clan, who also specialized in using Black Magic.
They were Joanne’s guardians while she was in the academy.
“The four of you can come in,” Ethan said. “I will talk to our Head Prefect later to give you permission to accompany Joanne whenever she comes to visit us.”
“”Thank you, Sir Ethan.””
The four Witches bowed, but Ethan hurriedly told them to not treat him like their Young Master while they were in the academy.
The names of the four Witches were Themis, Eunomia, Dike, and Eirene.
The four of them were quadruplets, which was extremely rare for the Meredith Clan.
In order to make sure that their family and friends would be able to tell them apart, they made it a point to have different hairstyles.
The quadruplets were very pretty girls, and there were already a few guys from Schwartz Manor who seemed to be interested in them.
When Ethan entered the Common Room with the four ladies accompanying him, George immediately accused him of cheating on Lily, which made everyone chuckle.
“Due to my family’s circumstances, these girls are here to serve as my sister’s guardians,” Ethan replied. “I hope that everyone can give them permission to enter Dud Manor whenever my sister is here.”
“No problem,” George replied in a heartbeat. “If these were guys, I would have kicked them right away without question. But since they are pretty flowers, it will make the atmosphere of our manor more lively.”
Since the members of Dud Manor only numbered twelve people, the Common Room felt a bit lonely with only one or two people around.
This was why they didn’t mind having Joanne and the quadruplets over as regular visitors. “Brother, are we going to take a tour of the academy now?” Joanne asked.
“We can take a tour now,” Ethan replied. “I’ll make sure to take all of you to the famous attractions of the academy.”
Joanne smiled before grabbing hold of Hecate’s hand. “Let’s go.”
“Mmm,” Hecate replied as she allowed Joanne to drag her outside of the manor.
Ethan couldn’t help but smile after seeing that his sister had regained her cheerful attitude after making Hecate her friend.
The young man hoped that this friendship would help Joanne heal from the pain of separating from her first-ever best friend.
From what he could tell, Hecate seemed to be happy having Joanne around her, lessening the worries in his heart.
‘I’ll ask her later if she has more information about Ramona,’ Ethan thought as he followed his sister and her new friend. ‘Since her family name is Magdar, she should know more about
what happened to the Royal Family, right?’
Ethan could only hope that the young lady would be able to shed some light on what happened to the Princess of the Magdar Kingdom who suddenly disappeared after stepping down from her position of Saintess and was never seen or heard from again.
