Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 896: Y-You Want To Meet My Parents?



Ethan observed the small green gem on Nicole's chest, which had grown slightly bigger since the last time he had seen it.

The young lady was under the effect of the potion and the Cauldron of the Twilight, so she was still in a daze and wasn't reacting to his touch.

'Her body has also gotten cold,' Ethan thought as he once again raised the blanket to cover her upper body for the time being.

Although Lilith would remove it once he was gone to allow the process of extraction to become faster, he still wanted to live up to Nicole's trust and respect her privacy.

Sitting down on the bed, Ethan held his best friend's hand and absorbed the coldness enveloping her entire body.

Based on what he could feel, the source of the cold was coming from her heart. He recalled the time when Nicole's heart had frozen solid. Back then at World's End, the young lady had forcibly unleashed all her powers to help defeat the invaders that came from another world. But the side effect of using such power was dire, especially since her body was incompatible with it.

A sigh escaped Ethan's lips, feeling truly worried about what would happen once Nicole's Origin Crystal was extracted from her body.

There was a possibility that the power of her Legacy would take over and make her body as cold as ice, losing the warmth that he was sharing with her at the moment.

'Nothing is ever easy when it comes to the power of Legacies,' Ethan thought.

Even his previous Head Prefect, Henry, asked for his help in order to tame his Legacy called "The Strong Arm❞ legacy, amplifying the effect of his giant's strength.

Ethan didn't know if Nicole would have to face her Legacy in the same manner. But, if she did, he would be there to help her overcome any and all obstacles.

Half an hour later, Ethan finally finished his treatment and was about to release Nicole's hand, but the latter held him in a firm grip.

"Aren't you going to cop a feel?" Nicole asked in a teasing tone. "You might not get another chance, you know?"

"If you can talk like that, it means that you're now feeling a bit better," Ethan replied with a smile.

"What? You don't want to?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Not now."

"Not now... means that you will do it at some other time?"

Ethan heaved a long, deep sigh, making the young lady giggle.

"Be good," Ethan said softly as he lightly patted his best friend's head. "Sleep for now. You'll still be in this state for a few more days."

Nicole nodded faintly and once again closed her eyes. "Mmm."

Truth be told, she was always feeling drowsy, and it was hard for her to keep her eyes open

even now.

The only reason she opened her eyes was because she felt something warm washing over her body, making her feel good.

And when she saw that Ethan was warming her up like always, she couldn't help but tease him a bit.

Ethan stared at the sleeping beauty on the bed for a minute longer before leaving the room. "Please look after her for a few more days, Lilith," Ethan said. "I promise I won't leave the academy, so you won't have to worry about my safety."

"Understood, Master," Lilith replied. "Did Samantha regain her magic powers?"

The reason why Lilith asked was due to the fact that she could smell Samantha's scent from the young man's body, which meant that the two of them had spent considerable time together.

"Yes," Ethan answered. "We just returned from Limeburgh Town."

"I see..." Lilith looked at Ethan with a solemn gaze as if thinking about something.

Truth be told, Ethan had still not embraced her and Emma due to the complications that it would cause the moment they became one.

But since Ethan made up for it inside the Dream Realm, she finally at least knew what it was like to be embraced by him.

Still, doing it inside a dream and doing it in reality were two different things.

Perhaps knowing what his Protector was thinking, Ethan hugged her and gave her a kiss on the lips, which lasted for a few seconds.

"I'm sorry, Lilith," Ethan said.

"You don't have to feel sorry, Master," Lilith replied. "I understand. But as soon as this problem is resolved, please, make me yours in reality as well."

"I will." Ethan nodded.

After sharing one more kiss with her, Ethan finally left the Tree House to look for Lilian.

Chloe had still not returned to the academy, so it would take a while for her to verify if the Black Cauldron was the same cauldron they were looking for.

Since that was the case, he decided to look for Lilian first and ask her if it was possible for him to meet her parents to formally ask them for her hand in marriage.

A few minutes later...

"Y-You want to meet my parents?" Lilian asked in surprise.

"Yes," Ethan replied. "I will be meeting with Samantha's parents next week to ask her hand

for marriage. So if possible, I'd like to meet your parents after that."

Lilian felt touched but also anxious upon hearing Ethan's declaration.

She could see in his eyes that he was very determined to do it, which made her wonder if it was really alright for him to finally meet her parents.

"I-I'll ask them first," Lilian replied. "But they are very busy people, so I'm not sure if a visit is possible at this time."

"That's fine." Ethan smiled as he pulled the young lady in his arms and patted her head. "I just want to make them know how serious I am about marrying you. Since you came all the

way here for me, doing this is the least I can do."

Lilian closed her eyes and hugged Ethan back.

While she was still feeling conflicted inside, she also understood that what Ethan said was the right thing to do.

She couldn't keep delaying things any further, especially since Samantha had become her newest Sister in their love for Ethan.

The two spent an hour of intimate cuddles and kisses before Lilian left the Dud Manor to look for her brother, Cedric, in the Eques Manor.

Since this was a very important topic, she believed that her brother had the right to know because he now supported her love for Ethan, which was something that she fought so hard to

protect.
