Although he would miss Illumina, Ethan knew that this was sothing that had to be done.
The young man had shared with her the information he gathered after gaining the authority of the Realm of Arkanthos, including the list of Progenitors who had set their sights on Midgard.
This information included their powers and specialties, as well as possible counterasures they could take to lessen the threat that they posed.
"I already told the others to look after Wilhelmina for ," Illumina added. "But since you are the Prince of Atlantis, you should at least keep her by your side in case you need to go to dangerous locations or end up facing dangerous situations."
Since Princess Wilhelmina specialized in defense, she would be able to protect the people that needed protecting, allowing Ethan to focus on dealing with his enemies.
"By the way, when will you visit Lily?" Samantha asked. "If my calculation is correct, she's almost six months pregnant. The school year will end in two months. Do you plan to visit her at that ti?"
"Yes," Ethan replied. "I'll be staying with her for the duration of the school vacation," Ethan answered.
Samantha nodded. "I will spend a month with my family, but after that, I will follow you to Southshire. I also want to check on her condition."
Having constantly monitored Lily's condition when she was still in the academy, Samantha had more or less beco Lily's personal nurse,
Because of this, she felt closer to her and wished her a safe delivery.
"I'll also stay with my family for a bit before I head to Southshire," Lilian comnted. "My mother has been pestering to stay with her when the school year ends."
Chloe and Luna then proposed that all of them et up at the academy before heading to Soutshire together.
Ethan supported this proposal because he planned to use rric's Flying Ship to pick everyone up, so he could bring them all to Southshire with him.
A few hours later, the train finally stopped at Liburgh Station, where Ethan and the rest of his entourage departed.
They all headed to the academy right away because they still had things to do.
Ethan still needed to ask rric to escort Illumina and Princess Ariel to the sea, so their travel ti would be shortened by a few days.

Sowhere in Southshire...
Jas looked down at the Great Forest from the sky.
His granddaughters had returned ho after the battle in the Realm of Arkanthos had co to an end.
However, a few days later, they snuck out again and headed to who knows where.
Fortunately, Jas could easily track them down no matter where they ran off to in the Multiverse.
'According to the letter they left behind, they said that they would be eting with their future mother-in-law,' Jas mused. 'Those silly girls. Just what kind of excuse is that?'
Of course, Jas also knew that Maple and Cinnamon usually wouldn't lie, so there was still a possibility that they were truly visiting their future mother-in-law.
'Whether it's the truth, or not, I need to bring them ho this ti,' Jas thought as he urged Sleipnir to descend from the sky. "They have already been away for a week, and their mother is worried about them.'
A few minutes later, Jas wandered into the ho of the Beastkin, who imdiately sensed his presence.
Seeing that he was an unard old man, the sentries asked what his business was in their domain.
The mont he ntioned that he was there to look for his two great granddaughters who had run away from ho, the Beastkins looked at him more favorably.
"Your great granddaughters are amazing," one of the Sentries said. "They defeated the Beast King in an eating contest. I still can't believe that two little girls can eat that much."
"After losing the eating challenge, the King also challenged them to a drinking challenge. However, since they were still young, they only drank fruit juice instead of wine. Still, the Beast King lost against them yet again. Those two are the real beasts!"
"Just where do they put all the food in their bodies?"
"I hope my daughters will be just as cute as them when they are born."
The more Jas listened to the complints of the Beastkins, the more proud he beca of Maple and Cinnamon.
No matter where they went, they were always surrounded by good people, so Jas didn't usually worry about their safety.
Actually, he was more worried about the bad guys who would try to harm the two little gluttons, whom even Demigods and Gods alike didn't wish to antagonize.
When Jas finally arrived at Seff's Residence, the two adorable girls were already there and waiting for his arrival.
"Grandpa!" Maple ran with her arms spread wide. "Grandpa, I miss you!"
"Cinnamon misses you too, Grandpa!" Cinnamon ran alongside her sister with her arms spread wide as well.
Jas chuckled and crouched down to hug his two great granddaughters, who were very dear in his heart.
Seeing this scene, the Beastkins couldn't help but feel sothing warm spreading inside their chest.
The two girls had been a ray of light inside their territory, and they had grown very fond of
them.
"Grandpa, let introduce you to my mother-in-law," Maple said after their hug session ended.
"Cinnamon also wishes for Grandpa to et mother-in-law!" Maple stated.
ival of Maple and
Lily and her family were already at scene after sensing Cinnamon's Grandfather, whom they said would pick them up at a later ti.
When Jas saw Lily, he imdiately noticed that she was pregnant due to the bulge of her
belly.
"Grandpa, this is Lily, my Mother-in-law," Maple said, holding Lily's hand.
"Grandpa, et our future husbands," Cinnamon stated as she lightly touched Lily's belly, which made Jas' jaw drop as he finally realized that his two great granddaughters weren't
joking.
"T-This..." Jas was at a loss for words because he didn't know what to say in this situation. Fortunately, Lily took the initiative to greet Jas while still holding Maple's and
Cinnamon's hands.
"My na is Lily Gremory, and your two granddaughters have made the past few days very lively," Lily said with a smile. "I hope that they can co and visit again in the future."
"Don't worry, Mother-in-Law, we will definitely visit you-" Maple said.
"Cinnamon will always visit-" Cinnamon smiled happily.
"Gremory?" Jas blinked once then twice because for so reason, Lily shared the maiden na of Maple and Cinnamon's mother, who also had the surna Gremory.
Jas didn't know if this was only a coincidence or not. However, seeing that his great granddaughters were practically glued to Lily, he had a feeling that he needed to investigate this matter without telling his grandson.
Jas was certain that once his grandson discovered that his daughters were already trying to score brownie points from their future mother-in-law, he might personally co to visit the Shire Continent to do his own investigation.
'I need to keep this under wraps for now,' Jas thought after he regained his composure and organized his thoughts.
"It's a pleasure to et you, Lily," Jas said. "I hope that Maple and Cinnamon didn't cause any trouble for you and your family."
"They didn't," Lily replied. "In fact, my family wishes that they will visit more often. Isn't
that right, father?"
Seff, who had his arms crossed over his chest, looked at Jas with a serious expression on his
face.
"I am confident in my eating and drinking habits," Seff said in a solemn tone. "But after eting your granddaughters, I realized that there are still such wonders that exist in this world that I am not aware of."
The Beast King then approached Maple and Cinnamon before crouching down, so he could
look both of them in the eye.
"When the two of you return, we will have a revenge match," Seff stated. "This ti, I will not lose in eating and drinking."
"Challenge accepted, Grandfather-in-law," Maple giggled. "But you will still not win." "Cinnamon will not lose~" Cinnamon said before giggling. "We are unbeatable-"
"We will see about that, you two little gluttons." Seff laughed and lightly patted the head of
the two girls who had beco his eating and drinking buddies.
Just like Lily, he hoped that Maple and Cinnamon would visit them often, so their territory would have two little angels who brought happiness wherever they went.
A few minutes later, Jas took his two granddaughters and left the Beastkin Territory.
"Don't ntion this to your father, okay?" Jas said. "If you do, he might kidnap your
future husbands when they are born."
"Understood, Grandpa!" Maple said. "I will protect my husband from Father!"
"Cinnamon will not tell~" Cinnamon comnted.
Jas nodded. "Good."
The old man didn't know if hiding the truth from his grandson was a good or bad thing.
However, he had a feeling that if this news reached his ears, things might beco troubleso if his grandson decided to intervene with his daughters' affairs.
