Chapter 1019: Time Waits For No One, Ethan [Part 2]
A minute later, Ethan had finally made up his mind and was about to make his intentions known.
But before he could say anything, Lilian spoke up on his behalf.
“There’s no need to rush things,” Lilian replied to her father. “Ethan won’t run and hide from us, so there’s no need to force him to marry right now. Besides, he also has other lovers aside from me, so it will be best if we just host a grand ceremony where he will marry all of us.”
King Austen frowned, but seeing that his daughter had made up her mind already, he decided to nod his head in understanding.
“I already said what I wanted to say, but I would still like to know if you plan to marry my daughter before or after this world is invaded by the Other Worlders. Although the Progenitors didn’t give a definite time frame for when this would happen, they still hinted that it could happen anytime.”
King Austen pressed his hands together and gave Ethan a long and hard look.
“Time waits for no one, Ethan,” King Austen stated. “So think about this matter seriously.” Ethan nodded in understanding. However, he still said that he didn’t plan to marry anytime soon because he still had quite a bit of unfinished business that he needed to take care of. Although King Austen was disappointed with Ethan’s answer, the young man still promised that, no matter what would happen, he would still marry Lilian without a doubt.
After a few more reminders, the two teenagers left the Office of the King and headed to the Flying Ship.
Now that their business in the Capital of Wisteria was over, it was time for them to return to the academy, where his other lovers were waiting for his safe return.

“Your Excellency, are you sure you don’t wish to come with us to the Ancestral Lands of the Fomorians?” Caddor asked with a solemn expression on his face.
“Not now,” the Golden Egg replied. “But I will definitely go in the future. I can feel that the day when I hatch from this egg is drawing near. So, all of you spread the word that you have found your King and prepare yourselves for battle.”
The Golden Egg’s words were solemn, so all the Fomorians paid close attention to what it was saying.
“For the time being, consolidate the reserve army of the Fomorians. Narissa has left me an artifact that will allow me to contact all of you when I want to.
“Also, unless it is absolutely important, don’t take the initiative to call me. All of you guys stay in the Ancestral Lands and protect it from the invasion. But feel free to let a small group of Fomorians stay in the Shire Continent, so they can follow my orders and coordinate with the humans.
“Um, I vote for Narissa to remain here with her subordinates. No objections? Great! I’ll talk to Ethan, and let him handle the rest. Um, let her be a transfer student as well, just like the Mermaid Princesses.”
Narissa had no objection to staying. As for Caddor and Jovar, they also believed that this was a good thing.
They would need someone to contact in the Shire Continent just in case something unexpected happened in Midgard.
Since Narissa was a Fomorian Chieftain, leaving her behind as the Golden Egg’s protector was a good choice.
Of course, Caddor and Jovar also knew why the egg had decided to let Narissa stay.
Clearly, he liked to be pampered by the purple-haired beauty, whose bountiful chest had become the Golden Egg’s temporary nest.
Chloe, Illumina, Princess Wilhelmina, and Princess Ariel, who were at the scene, couldn’t help but be amused by the Golden Egg’s antics.
Although it sounded serious, its voice broke out a bit when it one-sidedly declared that Narissa and her team of Lady Fomorians stayed behind to take care of its needs.
But the Egg’s real thoughts were something that Caddor and Jovar already knew. Even so, they still decided to turn a blind eye to it.
When the Golden Egg was about to finish designating orders for his subordinates, Ethan and Lilian finally returned to the Flying Ship.
Seeing that he didn’t look to be in a hurry, and was even walking hand in hand with Lilian in a casual manner, Chloe and Illumina understood that the talks between them and King Austen had progressed smoothly.
“Are you going back to the academy?” King Arawn, who also noticed Ethan’s arrival, asked. “Yes,” Ethan replied. “Are you going back to the Kingdom of Annwn, Your Majesty?”
King Arawn nodded. “Right. This journey has been quite an interesting one. It even made my blood boil, which hadn’t happened for the past hundreds of years.
“I need to return to tell my people the news that came from the Progenitors. The next time we meet, I hope that you will be in good health.”
King Arawn then glanced at Godfrey and smiled.
“He will be remaining here in the Shire Continent and will become our point of contact,” King Arawn stated, which surprised Ethan.
“Godfrey is staying in Eastshire?” Ethan asked with a frown.
“You didn’t know?” King Arawn chuckled. “He has secured a post in Brynhildr Academy as a temporary teacher of the Dark Arts. Learning from a Vampire Lord is a very rare opportunity after all. So, I hope that you attend his lessons as well.”
Ethan wasn’t exactly thrilled knowing that a blood-sucking vampire was going to stay in the academy that was filled with ladies with powerful bloodlines.
He knew that Godfrey had this hobby, so he was wondering why Professor Rinehart agreed to
such a thing.
Perhaps noticing Ethan’s discomfort, King Arawn chuckled.
“Don’t worry, he won’t be sucking the blood of the ladies in the academy,” King Arawn stated. “Also, he would not dare to do so. Professor Rinehart had placed a powerful spell on his body, preventing him from doing such a thing.”
Ethan was still not fully convinced that hiring Godfrey as a temporary Professor was a good
idea.
But since this was already done, he decided to just let Enzo keep an eye on the vampire, and make sure that he behaved during his stay in the academy.
Two hours later, a few flying ships left the Capital of Wisteria.
King Arawn would stop by briefly at the Academy to have a chat with Professor Rinehart, establishing a means of communication between them.
The Fomorian entourage, on the other hand, headed in the direction of the Sea, where the rest
of their kin were waiting for them.
Since they were headed in the same direction, King Arawn asked Ethan if they could travel together, which the young man didn’t mind.
Two days later, they landed in the Northern Area of Brynhildr Academy, where Profesor Rinehart, Professor Barret, and Ethan’s lovers stood waiting for their return.
