A month had passed since the rmaid Princesses, Narissa, and the Fomorians had co to Brynhildr Academy as exchange students.
Of course, since they were extrely beautiful ladies, they beca the focus of the guys. There were even bold and courageous Wizards who tried their luck and tried to woo these ladies.
However, none of them succeeded.
Princess Wilhelmina was very straightforward and told them her preference.
She said that she would only consider marrying soone who had defeated a Colossi.
This condition made all the Wizards imdiately back off.
None of them were suicidal, and fighting against a Colossi was definitely not one of their hobbies.
George, on the other hand, found this condition quite challenging. He even said that he would start looking for a Colossi right away.
However, half a day later, his pained scream reverberated in the academy, after Sabrina and another young lady pinched his waist at the sa ti, forcing the steadfast warrior to reflect on his wrongs.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but chuckle and look at George with disdain.
He couldn't even handle two young ladies, and he dared to look for a Colossi to challenge into a duel? Stay tuned to empire
Such madness.
However, George was very tempted to tell them that his two girlfriends were scarier than a horde of Colossi, especially Sabrina, who looked harmless on the surface but had a collection of exquisite poisonous and deadly plants.
This one month of peace had also been very relaxing for Ethan, to the point that he was starting to get worried.
He felt that this was just the calm before the storm, and it made him wonder how long it would last.
Because of this, he told Lily his worries during their date, to which his wife looked at him with a mischievous smile on her face.
For a brief mont, Ethan was tempted to kiss her lips, but he held back because they were having a serious discussion.
During the past month, he made sure to be very gentle with Lily. After all, she was pregnant, and he didn't want anything to happen to their baby.
"Ethan, you have it hard," Lily said affectionately before raising her hand to caress the side of his face. "Perhaps, you've forgotten that you're also just a student of the academy."
Lily then held the young man's hand and gave it a light squeeze. She could feel Ethan's rugged hands, which had held the Sea God's Trident to battle, facing opponents that were stronger than him.
"Students don't go fighting wars against a Necromancer and a horde of Undead," Lily said as she held Ethan's gaze. "Students don't go traveling to World's End to have a chat with a Progenitor and help retrieve his lover's soul from her grasp.
"Students also don't seek fights against a Colossi or wage war against a Fomorian Army. Perhaps the ti we had in the Lands of Alastor was the trigger that made you change your worldview. But I'm glad that it happened because we wouldn't be together if it didn't."
Lily then looked at the city from on top of the hill as if rembering sothing nostalgic.
"You've gone through one battle after another and barely took any break. Now that a proper break finally ca, you feel antsy because it's too peaceful. Deep down, it seems you're still affected by the invasion of the Otherworlders.
"Although I haven't seen them, the stories told by Lilian, Joanne, and Hecate about that battle left a great impression on ."
Lily then moved closer to lean her head on Ethan's shoulder and closed her eyes.
"Ethan, my father also seeks strong opponents and would love nothing more than to fight anyone who will dare to challenge him," Lily explained. "But, that doesn't an that he doesn't desire peace.
"I can still rember the words he told in the past. He said, fight when the ti to fight has co, and enjoy the peace when it is present. You have acquired the Slaughterer's Legacy, right?
"If all you do is fight battle after battle, you will eventually beco numb, and your heart will beco cold. As a warrior, it's perfectly normal to wish to be stronger. There is nothing wrong with that. But there's a difference between those warriors and you, Ethan."
Ethan who had been listening quietly to his wife looked at her with a serious expression on his face.
"And that is?" Ethan asked.
"You're not alone," Lily replied. "Even now, Lilith is inside your shadow, ready to fight alongside you if you find yourself in any danger. Chloe would also co if you ask for her help. Lilian and you share a very special bond through your Legacies, allowing you to unleash a power that can only be activated when you are together.
"Princess Ramona has waited hundreds of years for you, and she has also trained herself to fight alongside you. Samantha and Luna, who look delicate on the surface, can also be fierce when they are pushed into a corner.
"Joanne might be mischievous, but she is a good girl at heart. Despite being young, she understands that she also needs to be strong for the sake of the Valentin Family."
Lily paused before pressing her hand over her chest.
"Lastly, there is ," Lily stated. "While I may not be able to fight alongside you during your greatest battle, I will do my best to give birth to and care for our child. That is the role that I will play for you. Rember, Ethan. You are not alone.
"We are here and will always be here for you. Oh… I forgot to add, you have Illumina as well. Compared to us, she is truly a great warrior princess. I'm sure that she will be able to represent all of us when she goes to battle… lastly, I heard so people talking about Princess Wilhelmina.
"She's not really a bad choice, right? I an… her backside and breasts are big. Maybe that is the secret to having good defenses?"
Ethan couldn't help but chuckle after hearing Lily's comntary about Princess Wilhelmina, who had recently beco very popular in the academy, especially in the training grounds, after she fought against dozens of Wizards and Witches at the sa ti.
"Well, I noticed that your chest is getting bigger too," Ethan said in a mischievous tone. "But why are your defenses still weak?"
As if to prove his point, the young man stared at Lily's chest, making the latter look at him with a smile.
"Pervert," Lily comnted. "Unfortunately, I will be in Southshire when they start producing milk."
"Don't worry, I'll visit you in Southshire," Ethan replied.
"For the milk?" Lily asked in a teasing tone.
"Of course, to see you," Ethan replied. "But since I'll already be there, then it will be a waste if I don't have a taste, right?"
"Guards, there is a pervert here!"
"Hahaha."
The two teased each other in playful banter as they looked at the setting sun in the distance.
They only had a month left to be together, so they were spending as much ti with each other as possible before Lily returned to Southshire to continue her pregnancy there.
Ethan was certain that she would be protected by her family and that no danger would fall upon her. This put his mind at ease, but he still promised himself that he would co to visit before she gave birth to their child.
The young man was grateful to Lily for helping him finally understand that, although he needed to remain vigilant, he should also learn how to appreciate peace during peaceful tis.
Lilith, who was currently in Ethan's shadow, looked at this happy scene and smiled.
She was forrly an assassin, so she understood what Ethan was talking about.
It was also a hard transition for her because things had been very peaceful as of late.
However, she also understood that peace was much better—at least she could relax with Ethan rather than fight life-and-death battles against monsters who wished to destroy everything that they held sacred.
