The once desolate Dud Manor now had more residents, with the addition of the three rmaid Princesses, Lyall, Conall, Narissa, and six of her subordinates.
George and the other original inhabitants of the Manor welcod them with open arms.
As the Head Prefect of the Dud Manor, it was his duty to make the new additions to their Manor feel welco.
Of course, they still had reservations when it ca to the Fomorians. However, after eting the arrogant, yet adorable, Golden Egg, their worries disappeared.
The Golden Egg assured everyone that its subordinates wouldn't hurt them, significantly decreasing their anxieties.
They would've felt more secure if only they knew that the Fomorians truly didn't dare to hurt anyone as long as Ethan was around, for he was soone none of them dared to offend.
It was not just because the Golden Egg declared him as its partner.
No. Ethan was in possession of Areadbhair and had inherited the Legacy of the Slaughterer.
Even with a giant gut, the Fomorians would never willfully antagonize the bane of their race, no matter the cost.
George, who liked to hold celebrations, decided to host an impromptu welcoming party for their guests.
Naturally, no one opposed him, so he brought the guys, including Ethan, to the kitchen of the academy, where they could get so food for their party.
The Party lasted until late into the night, then everyone returned to their rooms to rest.
Ethan told his lovers that he wished to spend the night alone for the ti being because he needed to organize his thoughts.
Lilith, who was always inside his shadow, didn't take this opportunity to spend so ti alone with him and respected his wishes.
As Ethan lay on his bed, he thought through everything he had experienced from the ti he left the academy to look for Illumina up to the ti he went to visit the Capital of Wisteria.
'I can't believe so many things happen in just the span of a few months,' Ethan thought.
He accidentally stumbled onto the gateway that led to the City of Atlantis amidst his search for Illumina.
Then he was acknowledged by its Guardian, the Progenitor, Leviathan, because he was a mber of the Atlantean Royal Family.
After that, he hurried to find Illumina due to the danger that she was facing.
Fortunately, Ethan arrived just in ti to see the rmaid Princess fight against King Oceanus, who was a Colossi.
With the help of the Authority granted to him by Arariel, he was able to overco the Colossi.
Of course, the Golden Egg also played a significant role in the battle, greatly weakening King Oceanus, allowing Ethan to deal with him in a more relaxed manner.
The mont King Oceanus was defeated, the Great Plan of the Ocean Races to wage war against those who lived on land evaporated.
What followed next was Ethan's and Illumina's wedding.
After that, he summoned the Ocean Races to wage war against the Fomorians at the sea, annihilating half of their army.
He then rejoined the army of the Alliance in preparation to et the remaining forces of the Fomorians in a battle that would decide the fate of Eastshire.
But before that happened, Ethan t with Baradiel, who sealed him up in a block of ice alongside her.
'I'm sure she's going to start calling Mr. Ghost when it's just the two of us,' Ethan mused as he rembered Nicole, who was still undergoing recovery.
Currently, Baradiel had taken over her body, living her life until she recovered.
Truth be told, Ethan didn't know how to feel about Baradiel.
He could tell that she wasn't his enemy nor was she Nicole's enemy.
However, he didn't know her thought process.
The young man wasn't aware of her goal.
'I guess I need to have a talk with her again soon.' Ethan sighed.
After he bestowed Nicole with so of his life force, she was no longer in danger of dying anyti soon.
Once she recovered, Ethan would return her Origin Magic Crystal to her, allowing her to stabilize Baradiel's Legacy, who had gradually acclimated to her body due to Ethan's help.
But the mont he did that, he would return to his magicless state and would have to resort to kissing his lovers again to gain so magic.
However, even if he didn't do that, Ethan's fighting ability was nothing to scoff at.
He had many Legacies to draw powers from, so even if he couldn't use magic, he was a terror on the battlefield.
The Tidebringer's Legacy.
Mimir's Wisdom.
Ashdai's Desire.
Arariel's Authority.
Sea King's Might.
Queen Celestia's Legacy.
And last but not the least, The Slaughterer's Legacy.
Originally, a person could only hold one Legacy inside their body.
Having more would just make their bodies deteriorate, and so were at risk of imploding because their vessel wasn't able to handle so much power.
Nicole was a perfect example of that.
Baradiel's Legacy was incompatible with her, so it slowly ate up her lifespan until she was left with only a few years to live.
Ethan didn't have this problem because his body was the perfect vessel for storing up Legacies, Origin Magic Crystals, and similar abilities.
He could absorb and bestow these powers to others whom he deed fit.
'Maybe I should give the Golden Egg a na,' Ethan mused. 'Should I na him Goldy? But what if he was born, and he doesn't turn out to be gold in color? That might be a problem.'
The young man was also thinking about the Golden Egg, who would occasionally sneak back inside his Morrigan's Ring during the night and co out during the day to get cozy with its subordinates.
'Maybe I should also set a date for the wedding,' Etham looked at the two wedding rings on his finger.
The first ring was his Wedding Ring for Lily and him.
He had created rings with similar designs to give to his lovers, which now acted as their engagent rings.
His other ring, which he acquired when he wed Illumina, was a relic from Atlantis.
They were both magical artifacts, which contained great power when activated, but Ethan had no intention of using them for the ti being.
The ring from Illumina acted similar to a Legacy Resonance, but it would only activate when he and Illumina were together.
'I guess I will need to ask the jewel smith back in Southshire to craft three identical rings.
Since he also planned to marry Samantha and Ramona, he'd give them one too.
As for the last ring?
Ethan sighed before closing his eyes to sleep.
The future was uncertain, so he didn't plan to make any assumptions.
However, he hoped that after dealing with all the problems that threatened Midgard and the Shire Continent were solved, the world would finally be at peace so that he could live peacefully with his lovers and build a family with them.
