Chapter 1022: I Just Hope That They Will Be Happy Together


    ?


    When morning came, Ethan took this opportunity to take Lily to Limeburgh Town, where her mother, Leah, bought a small residence to stay in.


    Four Beastkin girls, whom Seff had personally sent to serve as her maids and protectors, also lived inside the residence.


    As soon as she saw Ethan and Lily, Leah felt pleasantly surprised but, at the same time, couldn''t help but look at her son-inw with a conflicted look on her face.


    Ethan and Lily were already married, so it was only natural for her daughter to conceive his child. However, the young man had previously promised that this happy event would only happen after they graduated from the academy.


    "Since it already happened, the only thing we can do is ept it," Leah said as soon as the two teenagers sat in front of her. "Although things didn''t go ording to n, I''m still looking forward to holding my grandchild."


    Leah smiled at Ethan, and thetter smiled back.


    But he still felt that he needed to exin everything that happened, so his mother-inw would not lose her trust in him.


    After exining how the Progenitor of Magic yed a trick to make Lily immune to contraception potions, the mystery of her pregnancy was finally brought to light.


    "I see." Leah nodded in understanding. "Just make sure you don''t go pissing off any more Progenitors in the future, Ethan. After all, I don''t want my daughter to be a widow at such a young age."


    Although she tried to say this in a serious manner, there was a tinge of teasing in her tone, making Ethan smile bitterly.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    "Mother, there is a question that I''d like to ask of you," Ethanmented. "My fiance, Lilian, is Cedric''s sister. I heard from Lyall that they are currently in a rtionship. How did the two of them end up in such a rtionship?"


    Leah smiled faintly after hearing Ethan''s question. In her eyes, Cedric was a good man and was worthy of being the lover of Lyall, whom she also treated as one of her biological daughters.


    "We met him during an incident on our way to Brynhildr Academy," Leah answered. But he and Lyall were acquainted long before that incident happened. When he escorted us to the academy, Cedric and Lyall often sparred with each other every break.


    "As you already know, Lyall only likes strong people. Since the Beastkins always look up to the strong, she thought that it was her duty to give birth to a strong child from the seed of a strong person."


    A mischievous smile appeared on the beautiful woman''s face as she looked at Ethan. "This is also why she wanted to pin you down in the past and extract your seed. Even now, she might still think that way. It''s only out of consideration for Lily that she held herself back.


    "However, now that Lily is pregnant, I''m sure she doesn''t want to cause her sister any stress. That said, it seems that she decided to look elsewhere. It just so happens that Cedric came, and he''s passable in her eyes."


    Ethan felt sorry for Cedric before he came to meet Leah. But now, he felt thankful that a shield hade to take one for the team.


    Because of this, he smiled and mentioned many positive things about Cedric, which made Lily, who was seated beside her, cover her lips with her hand as she did her best to suppress her giggle.


    "Since you''re already here, I need to tell you something important," Leah said solemnly. "Three to four months from now, my husband will being to Brynhildr Academy to escort me and Lily back to Southshire."


    Leah then nced at her daughter''s belly, making Ethan understand what his mother-inw was hinting at.


    The young man then gave Lily''s hand a light squeeze, not wanting to part from her, but he understood that it was a necessity to protect her reputation in the academy.


    Lily squeezed Ethan''s hand back and looked at him with an affectionate gaze. Ethan couldn''t help but nt a kiss on her cheek because of how charming she was.


    A momentter, he shifted his attention back to Leah and nodded in understanding. "I understand, Mother," Ethan said softly. "Please, take care of her for me."


    "Of course, I will," Leah replied. "After all, she''s my precious daughter and is carrying my precious grandchild. With Seff as our escort, safety is guaranteed."


    Ethan agreed with his mother-inw''s statement.


    Seff was a true powerhouse, and the number of people in the Shire Continent who could match him inbat could be counted with the fingers of one hand.


    Of course, Ethan was among those handful since he had the power of multiple Legacies, greatly amplifying his fighting prowess.


    "I just hope that you''re not thinking about making any of your future wives pregnant anytime soon," Leah said before picking up the cup of tea that had just been served in front of her.


    "Mother, you already know that what happened with Lily was due to Lady Hecate," Ethan replied bitterly.


    "I know." Leah nodded. "But no one knows what will happen in the future. So, do things in moderation, okay?"


    Ethan lightly coughed because doing things in moderation was easier said than done.


    Usually, when he made love with his lovers, he would make love to them until they passed out


    from pleasure.


    Only then would he stop.


    Lily, who could tell what Ethan was thinking, smiled faintly.


    Even when she and her sisters made love with Ethan at the same time, the young man was capable of satisfying them all with his peerless stamina.


    None of them had anyints. But she still felt a little proud because Ethan had learned how to satisfydies in the bed, while the two of them were trapped in the Lands of stor.


    They spent more than a year there, and the two of them, who were still inexperienced back then, experimented a lot and came to learn how to make each other feel good.


    "Onest thing," Leah said after she finished drinking her tea. "I don''t know if Lyall and Cedric will stay together for a long time. However, once Lily has safely given birth, I want to meet Cedric''s parents to discuss matchmaking between the two of them."


    Ethan''s body stiffened after hearing Leah''s statement.


    He just recently found out who Lilian''s and Cedric''s father was, and their background was a littleplicated.


    However, thinking that Seff was the Beast King, he realized that there was no problem if the two of them were to be recognized as an official couple.


    "Understood," Ethan replied. "I''ll make the arrangements after Lily has safely given birth."


    Since he and Cedric were technically inws due to his rtionship with Lilian, it wouldn''t be bad if he gave the young man a slight push on the back.


    However, whether he was pushing Cedric toward the pits of Hell or the doors of Heaven, only time would be able to tell.


    Lily was also very curious to know if her sister would truly pick Cedric as her mate.


    Lyall was a very picky person, so the moment she had targeted Ethan in the past, Lily felt as if she was going to have a migraine every day because of her suggestions.


    One time, Lyall asked her to help her spike Ethan''s food and drink with an aphrodisiac so that she could have her way with him.


    Naturally, Lily turned down this idea and the ideas that followed, all of which involved her husband falling unconscious or drugged in Lyall''s bed.


    Fortunately, that was finally over.


    ''I just hope they will be happy together,'' Lily thought as she leaned her head on her beloved.


    She was truly happy to be Ethan''s wife, and she hoped with every fiber of her being that her sister, Lyall, would also find the happiness that she deserved in life.
