Chapter 975: News That Was Dropped On Him Like A Bomb
“I’ll be going to the front lines tomorrow,” Cedric said as soon as he arrived at the house Lily’s mother was renting.
Lyall nodded. “You should. It would be a shame if you don’t participate in it.”
“I’m glad you understand.” Cedric smiled. “I came here to say goodbye and promise you that I will return.”
“Awww, how sweet of you,” Lyall replied before grabbing Cedric’s hand and pulling him up the stairs.
“W-Wait, what are you doing?!” Cedric, who didn’t understand why he was being dragged upstairs, asked.
“I’m going to give you a good luck charm.” Lyall smiled evilly.
After hearing her reply, Cedric felt touched, so he no longer resisted.
A few hours later…
The young man struggled to get himself out of Lyall’s room, relying on the walls to support him.
His legs felt like jelly after being drained by the crazy lady, who milked him dry.
Although they didn’t go all the way since they weren’t married, Cedric understood that Lyall was different from the other noble ladies that he had met in the past.
Even with his trained body, he was still defeated in the end and was even the first one to lose consciousness.
Conall, who had just arrived at the house with his mother, saw the pitiful-looking Cedric. He was visibly having difficulty walking down the stairs and was even leaning on the railings.
Just as he was about to ask the young man what happened, his exceptional sense of smell already caught a whiff of the reason.
“You should do things in moderation in the future,” Conall said as he looked at Cedric with a knowing smile on his face.
“Tell that to your sister,” Cedric replied.
“My sister doesn’t understand the meaning of the word moderation.”
“I only found that out today.”
Lily’s mother, Leah, did not have the superhuman senses that the Beastkins possessed.
But, she was a mother and a married woman. A glance was enough for her to understand what Cedric had been through.
Of course, she wouldn’t point it out today because it might embarrass the young man. But since she was an adult, she decided to talk to Lyall about this and see what her real thoughts were about Cedric.
Half an hour later…
“Brother, what happened to you?” Lilian asked when she saw her exhausted-looking brother, who seemed to no longer have the energy to fight any wars.
“Don’t ask.” Cedric sighed. “Have you finished packing everything?”
“I just finished an hour ago,” Lilian replied. “I came here to look for you. I wanted to ask if you already sent a letter to Mother and Father about your decision.”
Cedric blinked once then twice before covering his face with his hand.
“I forgot,” Cedric said. “I’ll make sure to write a letter and send it before we leave. Since we are going to leave early tomorrow, make sure to get some proper rest, okay?”
Lilian nodded. “I will. You should also rest properly, Brother.”
“Mmm.” Cedric walked away with trembling legs, making Lilian worry that he might fall over at any moment.
Fortunately, the young man was able to reach his room, where he laid down a bit to rest for an hour or two before writing a letter for his family.
On that day, countless Ravens from the academy took flight.
Almost every student had written a letter to their family, telling them about the war against the Fomorians.
Some of them mentioned that they would be coming back home until the danger had passed. Others decided to remain at the academy, where they thought they would still be safe from the upcoming war.
While everyone in Brynhildr Academy were busy, Ethan was also busy talking to the representatives of the Alliance, who had arrived at the shores of Southshire.
“Don’t think that you can pull off what you did in the sea on land,” Seff said with a smile as he patted the shoulder of his son-in-law. “Also, I didn’t think that you were that bold. You
actually chose to fight them in the sea and face their leaders head-on.”
“If I can’t beat them on my home turf, then I wouldn’t even be here, Father,” Ethan replied. “I’m glad that the Alliance has prepared adequately for this invasion.”
Ethan glanced at the fleet of Flying Ships, which were all anchored and ready to face anything that would come their way.
Seff gave the Flying Ships a sidelong glance before shifting his gaze to the three beautiful ladies, who were a distance away from Ethan.
“I recognize that girl, Illumina, because I have seen your Resonance,” Seff stated. “Who are those two? Your new lovers?”
“No,” Ethan replied in a heartbeat. “They are Princess Wilhelmina and Princess Ariel. I asked them to come with me since they will play an important role in the upcoming war.”
“I see.” Seff chuckled.
Illumina took that opportunity to stand beside Ethan and asked her husband to introduce her to the person whom he was calling Father.
“Illumina, this is Lily’s father, Seff,” Ethan said. “Father, this is my second wife, Illumina.” “Second wife?” Seff arched an eyebrow as he looked at Illumina from head to foot. “Well, she is indeed a very formidable lady. I am even itching to have a spar with her.”
Illumina smiled, but she didn’t make any comment towards Seff’s invitation to a spar. She was very curious to meet Lily’s family, and after seeing Seff for herself, she could tell that the person in front of her was very strong.
‘At least as strong as King Oceanus,’ Illumina thought.
Seff was the Beast King and had inherited the Beast King’s Legacy.
He was a true powerhouse of Southshire, and once he activated his Legacy, there would only
be a handful of people who would live to tell the tale of fighting against him.
“By the way, Ethan, I’m very surprised, and very happy about the news I got from my daughter a few weeks ago,” Seth chuckled before resting his hand on Ethan’s shoulder. “While I wasn’t expecting it this early, I am still happy that I am now going to have a grandchild.”
“Oh? Did Conall find a lover?” Ethan asked with genuine curiosity.
“Ah, that boy? I don’t think he plans to settle down anytime soon,” Seff replied.
“Then, is it Lyall?” Ethan almost broke out in sweat and even offered a silent prayer to the person who must have been kicked in the head by a donkey and thus ended up hooking up with
the crazy lady.
“Lyall?” Seff scoffed. “I wish.”
“Then, did her brothers and sisters happen to have a child?”
“Hmm? What are you talking about? Of course I’m talking about your child.”
Ethan blinked once then twice as he looked at the Beast King, who was smiling at him.
“My child?” Ethan asked. “What child?”
“… You didn’t know?” Seff, who thought that Ethan was just playing a prank on him earlier, finally realized that the young man wasn’t aware that Lily was pregnant.
Ethan’s body then stiffened when he thought about a possibility. However, this possibility
was something that he never thought was possible.
“Lily is pregnant?” Ethan looked at his father-in-law in shock.
Seff nodded. “She is. She only learned about it a few weeks ago.”
Ethan’s brain seemed to have short-circuited as he stood in place in a daze.
Illumina, who heard this news, was also surprised.
Princess Wilhelmina and Princess Ariel, who were paying close attention to the discussion,
were also shocked.
Ethan was the Prince of Atlantis and was currently the Pillar of the Ocean Races.
If he really was about to have a Father, this was definitely big news!
Sebastian and Ethan’s Other Half were also shocked silly and wondered if the Beast King was
playing a prank on Ethan.
However, after seeing how serious Seff’s expression was, they knew then and there that he
wasn’t lying.
Ethan’s mouth opened and closed like a fish who had been tossed on land as his mind tried to register the sudden news that was dropped on him like a bomb.
