Caddor and the other Fomorian Chieftains had breakfast with the Kings and Queens of the Alliance.
Their talks had proceeded smoothly, and all of them were very satisfied with the agreents that they had discussed.
They even signed a contract and made multiple copies of it, allowing each of them to have their own.
The only thing they were waiting for was Ethan's arrival, so they could finally talk about the Stone of Destiny, which the Fomorian Chieftains believed was under his protection.
Well, technically, Lia Fail was indeed under Ethan's protection.
Since Chloe was his lover, the mont soone antagonized her, he would start throwing punches, so using high-handed ans would not work with him.
Fortunately, after waiting until eight in the morning, Ethan finally sought them out of his own volition to discuss the matter about Lia Fail.
"The Stone of Destiny is currently sealed," Ethan said in a serious tone. "In order to unseal it, all four treasures of the Tuatha De Danann must be gathered in the sa place."
"I know that the King Austen's Palace is built around the Sword of Light, Claíomh Solais," Caddor comnted. "The Slaughterer is in your hands.
"This ans that if you already know the location of the Stone of Destiny, then only the Cauldron of the Dagda remains to be found. Do you already have it?"
"I don't have it," Ethan replied. "But I do know who owns it. She's actually here at the mont due to my request."
The mont Ethan's words were spoken, the three Fomorian Chieftains finally sighed in relief because all four treasures had already been gathered.
All they needed to do now was bring them to the Kingdom of Wisteria, so they could resonate with the Sword of Light.
"The three of you and a dozen of your most trusted subordinates should head to the Kingdom of Wisteria as ambassadors for peace," Ethan stated. "I need to return to Brynhildr Academy to pick up the Stone of Destiny before making my way to the Royal Palace.
"Once the Stone of Destiny is unsealed, then you can activate it and finally learn the identity of your True King."
King Austen, and the other leaders of the various races in Eastshire, looked at the young man with great curiosity.
They were also very tempted to activate the power of the Stone of Destiny so that they could also find the True Kings or True Queens that would usher in a new era for their races.
However, doing so might not be in their best interest.
This was especially true for King Austen.
Currently, he was the King of Eastshire.
If he used the Stone of Destiny to find the True King among the humans, wouldn't that an that his current position would be threatened by others?
Naturally, King Austen couldn't and wouldn't allow that.
Two Kings couldn't rule the sa country. Since there were conflicts of interest, King Austen wasn't too keen to find out who the rightful King of the Human Race would be.
This was also true for the Dwarven King, Elf Queen, and Wood Fairy Queen.
They had already stabilized their control over their people.
If soone else, whom no one knew, was chosen to beco the ruler in their respective places, a Civil War might erupt, which would cause chaos as the stability of their rule fell apart under their feet.
Even so, a part of them were still tempted to find their One True King.
This was especially true for the Elves and Fairies, who prioritized the prosperity of their race above all else.
After hearing Ethan's promise that he would not deny them the opportunity to find their True King, the Fomorian Chieftains and the King of Eastshire, King Austen, chatted a bit to discuss the number of people the Fomorian Chieftains could bring on this trip.
They would leave the bulk of their forces here so that their presence would not cause panic and anxiety to the people of Eastshire.
After this discussion ended, Ethan went to look for Professor Barret and the other students of the Academy.
The first thing he asked was the number of casualties on their side.
He had seen many Wizards and Witches die during the battle, but he didn't know how many of them belonged to Brynhildr Academy or to the other Factions of the Wizarding World.
"We didn't suffer any casualties," Professor Barret replied. "But we have dozens who have been in critical conditions. Fortunately, the Healers from the Terra Manor were very dependable.
"They managed to stabilize their conditions, so their lives are no longer in any danger. However, they still need extensive treatnt once we have returned to the academy."
Ethan sighed in relief before nodding his head.
"Professor, we will be returning with you to the academy," Ethan replied. "After that, a few
others and I will head to the City of Wisteria for a few days."
"You're going to unseal Lia Fail, right?" Professor Barret asked.
"Yes, Professor," Ethan replied.
Since Professor Rinehart and Professor Barret were the number one and number two protectors of Brynhildr Academy, the leaders of the forest, including Koko and Broodmother, both agreed that they should be aware of the existence of the Stone of Destiny.
This also allowed Chloe to access the hidden archives in the library, allowing her to find the various ruins that belonged to the Firbolgs.
She was almost always outside of the academy during the past few months due to her secret mission to search for the Cauldron of the Dagda.
"We will leave tomorrow at sunrise," Professor Barret said in a solemn tone. "Tonight, we will do a ritual to honor the souls of those who died in battle."
Ethan nodded in understanding and promised to be there.
Many Wizards and Witches had perished in the war against the invaders.
These people would receive dals of honors, and the King of Wisteria would compensate their families for their losses.
They were the Heroes who protected Midgard until their dying breath, so the Kingdom of Eastshire wouldn't turn their backs on them and their families.
After talking with the Professor, he went to look for George.
To his surprise, the Head Prefect was seated between two ladies, who were glaring at the other Witches throwing coquettish glances at the young man, who didn't dare return their
heated gazes.
Ethan recognized Sabrina, George's girlfriend.
However, he didn't recognize who the other girl was since this was his first ti seeing her.
'She must be a First Year,' Ethan thought.
Still, he was quite surprised that George was getting a lot of attention.
Sothing must have happened during the battle against the Insect Horde, which resulted in
the current situation.
However, seeing that this was not the ti to talk to his Head Prefect, Ethan chose to
strategically retreat, lest he found himself in the crossfire of the ladies who were eyeing
George as if he was a nice, juicy steak they could bite.
George, who noticed Ethan sneak away in haste, called out to him, but the latter pretended that he didn't hear anything.
Ethan had learned that getting caught in a cat fight was a very dangerous and scary thing.
Fortunately, all his lovers got along very well, so they didn't resort to such things. While Ethan was going back to look for Lilian and the others, Alice, who had also co to participate in the battle, gazed at Nicole, who was looking far off in the distance.
"Who are you?" Alice asked.
She was just like Nicole, who wielded the power of ice.
However, after sparring with Nicole for the past few months, she ca to realize that the fighting style of Nicole a few months ago was very different from the fighting style of Nicole
of today.
"You're much more compatible with ," Nicole replied without even bothering to turn her head to look behind her. "Unfortunately, it's too late. I prefer to stay where I am now, and I don't plan on changing vessels for the foreseeable future."
"I don't understand what you're talking about." Alice frowned.
"You don't need to," Nicole replied. "Just think of it as the random musing of a person who
has way too much ti on her hands."
A minute later, Nicole finally turned around to look at Alice.
"So, what do you want?" Nicole asked. "I'm sure that you didn't co here to just ask who
I am, right?"
Alice narrowed her eyes because she could feel that the young lady in front of her was truly different from the Nicole she knew.
But that wasn't the most important thing right now.
There was sothing that she wanted to know, which would give her the direction she needed
to understand her power on a deeper level.
"Why is your ice elent different from mine?" Alice asked. "It's like my ice magic is fake
compared to yours."
Nicole smiled faintly before she raised her hand and snapped her fingers.
Soon, the two teenage girls disappeared from the cliff that was overlooking the sea.
The two of them would have a nice, long talk, and Baradiel had no intention of letting anyone hear any part of their conversation.
