Chapter 452 You Plan To Invite Him A Second Time?

In order to prevent any acts of violence towards Nicole and Ethan, the Grand Archmage, Lord Edmond, personally escorted them back to the palace while telling everyone that the game had come to an end.

Just as he expected, the Nobles were unwilling to let the matter end in this manner.

But when Lord Edmond mentioned that he had done it under the King’s orders, all the Nobles had no choice but to accept his decree.

However, that didn’t stop them from glaring at the two teenagers who had made a mess of the palace grounds as well as gotten all of them soaking wet.

Ethan felt a little guilty, but he didn’t regret what he did.

In the end, he chose the only method at his disposal to survive, and he used it to the best of his abilities.

“Hah… it seems we can only use half of the garden for the party in two day’s time.” Edmond sighed after they were finally away from the gazes of the nobles. ‘I just hope that His Majesty will not deduct the garden repairs from my salary…’

Ethan pretended that he didn’t hear the Grand Archmage’s words, while Nicole only smiled as if she found this whole scenario funny.

“Anyway, just stay inside your rooms for now, and don’t come out until the day of the party,” Edmond stated in a serious tone. “Understand?”

“Yes.”

“Okay.”

Edmond nodded “Good night, and may the two of you sleep well, knowing that both of you will be remembered by all the Nobles here in the palace for the next few years because of this incident.”

The Grand Archmage shook his head before vanishing on the spot, leaving Ethan and Nicole behind.

“Good night, Ethan,” Nicole said with a smile. “That was fun. Let’s do it again sometime.”

“Hah… you still want to do something like that again?” Ethan glanced at the beautiful lady with a bitter smile on his face. “Good night. I’ll see you tomorrow.”

Without another word, Ethan got inside his room and closed the door firmly behind him.

Since his and Nicole’s rooms were right next to each other, it would not be difficult to see each other even when they were forbidden to wander around the palace due to the commotion that they had made.

“I’m so tired,” Ethan said as he took off his clothes. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelenglish.net . Fɪre.nᴇt

However, he still went to take a quick shower to make himself feel more comfortable.

When he was done, he used his Water Magic to dry himself up. He was simply too tired, so after pulling on his underwear, he laid down on the bed to sleep.

It didn’t take long for Ethan to fall asleep because he was truly exhausted from what he had done earlier.

Lilith, who hadn’t made her appearance during the battle, appeared beside Ethan.

She gazed at his peaceful sleeping face before an idea popped inside of her head.

‘I might not get a chance to do this once he returns to the academy,’ Lilith thought. ‘It’s now or never.’

The Black Cat jumped off the bed and took on her Catkin form.

She then removed her clothes until all of them were on the carpeted floor, including her underwear.

Lilith then laid down beside Ethan and wrapped her hands around his head.

Ethan stirred when he felt someone touching him. But sensing that the person didn’t mean him any harm and had a familiar scent, he subconsciously moved to snuggle with that person.

After spending a lot of time with Ethan, Lilith was already familiar with what her Master was like, especially during the time when he was defenseless like this.

She had always been present whenever he spent the night with Lily, Luna, and Emma, and during those times, Ethan would subconsciously rest his head on their breasts just like a baby would do when they were in their mother’s embrace.

Lilith lightly patted Ethan’s head and even hummed a lullaby for him.

Soon, the steady breaths of a deep sleeper faintly reached her ears.

The young lady didn’t wish to do anything that Ethan would hate, so she didn’t take advantage of his defenseless state any further.

‘This is good enough,’ Lilith thought as she shared her warmth with the young man, whom she was oathbound to protect. ‘At least, for now.’

She then closed her eyes to sleep, enjoying this rare moment of intimacy with the handsome young man, who was loved by many beautiful ladies, who had tied their destinies with his.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the Palace…

“Although we had no choice but to stop the event, I consider this as my win,” Edmond said as he poured himself a glass of wine. “You better keep your word, Your Majesty.”

“Tch!” King Austen clicked his tongue, but he had no choice but to nod his head.

A deal was a deal.

Also, he now had an idea of what Ethan was capable of doing, which confirmed Mayor Otto’s and Edmond’s report about the teenage boy’s abilities.

“He made Zia appear,” King Austen commented. “That was a close call. If you hadn't stopped him, she might have cut Ethan in half.”

“Indeed.” Edmond nodded. “That was a close one. He managed to threaten the Palace and the Sword of Light, forcing our Guardian to awaken and eliminate the threat. Fortunately, she focused on the Water Dragon. If something happened to Ethan, many people would be veeeery angry.”

King Austen sighed. “Next time, make sure to not bring him somewhere with a water source. We don’t want another incident like this to happen.”

“Next time?” Edmond arched an eyebrow. “You plan to invite him a second time?”

King Austen gave his right-hand man the “I just slipped, okay?” glance, making the Grand Archmage chuckle.

“Anyway, make sure to pass the message to the Nobles that the awarding ceremony will proceed as planned,” King Austen stated.

“What if they cause trouble during the party?” Edmond asked.

“As long as they don’t go past my bottom line, then it's fine,” King Austen answered. “Since both of them will become Honorary Knights of the Kingdom, they will have to get used to socializing with the nobles of Eastshire.”

Edmond nodded his head in understanding before drinking the wine in his cup.

He knew that the King was right.

It would be best if Ethan understood how the social circles of the Nobility worked so that he wouldn’t be used as a pawn by the High-Ranking Nobles.

Edmond was worried that Ethan was too ignorant of such things, so he decided to let the young man experience the good and the bad sides of being a Noble early on, allowing him to better understand the geopolitical wars that were happening within the Kingdom of Eastshire.
