215 Don’t Be Like Me, Ethan. Live The Dream
“And that is what happened,” Ethan said after ending his story.
Chloe and Luna had already heard this tale when Ethan came clean to them about his relationship with Lily.
However, listening to it a second time didn’t make the story any less amazing.
Agnes, Benjamin, and Emma, who were hearing this story for the first time, looked at Ethan with solemn expressions on their faces. This story was truly filled with suspense, especially the last battle against the Necromancer.
Emma felt a bit sad because she hadn’t been there to help Ethan during his darkest moments. She felt very jealous and envious of Lily, who had managed to win her Master’s heart by simply being there to support him during his time of need.
“Where is this girl, Lily?” Agnes asked. “Why didn’t you bring her with you? I would have loved to see and thank her for what she did for you.”
Agnes, who was still unsure about which girl to pick as her grandson’s fiance, finally made up her mind.
Since the young lady named Lily had been there to see Ethan’s worst, Agnes believed that she deserved to be with her grandson at his best.
“Lily went back to see her family,” Ethan replied. “She said that they were worried about her and that they wanted her to come home during the Autumn Break.”
Agnes nodded her head in understanding. When she received Ethan’s letter, the first thing on her mind was to go to Brynhildr Academy to visit him.
However, since non-students and staff needed special permission to enter the academy, she could only wait. Fortunately, Ethan already promised to visit them during the school break.
Although she felt sorry for Chloe, Luna, and Emma, she had taught Ethan to be a responsible person, despite him being childish back then.
“Grandma, there is something I want to tell you…,” Ethan said.
However, before he could finish what he was going to say, Agnes raised her hand and smiled.
“You wish to marry that girl, right? Don’t worry, you have my support,” Agnes stated. “Can you tell me where her family lives? Your grandpa and I will visit them to negotiate in your stead.”
Ethan smiled because he could tell that his grandma was serious.
“Grandma, I’ve decided to have five wives.”
“Yes. Marrying is important. Your grandpa and I will definitely make it happ—what did you say?”
Ethan looked at his grandma in a calm manner and repeated what he said.
“I want to have five wives.”
Agnes blinked once then twice before glancing at her husband.
“Benjamin, I think there’s something wrong with my ears. Did you catch what Ethan said?” Agnes asked.
“He said he wanted to have five wives,” Benjamin replied.
He was just as surprised as Agnes and also thought that he misheard his grandson.
“Ethan, did you just say you want to have five wives?” Agnes asked in a serious tone.
The handsome young man nodded.
“Yes, Grandma,” Ethan answered. “That is what I said.”
“Hah~” Agnes looked at her grandson in disbelief. “Are you serious?”
“Very serious.”
“Ethan… are you saying this because you want to make Chloe, Luna, and Emma your wives?”
Emma smiled because she was certain that she wasn’t part of the five wives that Ethan was talking about. However, she didn’t say anything to correct Agnes because being considered one of Ethan’s potential wives was a huge honor for someone like her.
“Yes, but only Chloe and Luna,” Ethan replied before giving Emma a sidelong glance. “My relationship with Emma is a bit… complicated.”
Chloe raised her chin and looked at Emma with a smug expression, as if saying “See? You’re not part of the group. Stay away you thieving cat!”
However, Emma wasn’t fazed by Chloe’s gesture. In fact, she even smiled and looked at Ethan’s cousin as if she was looking at a squirrel with puffed-up cheeks.
Luna, on the other hand, turned beet red as she lowered her face.
When Ethan affirmed in front of his grandparents that he wanted her to become his future wife, she felt her heart skip a beat.
Seeing how serious Ethan was, Agnes glanced at her husband as if asking him. “Dear, can I smack this silly boy silly with my flip-flops?”
In fact, if they didn’t have any guests, Agnes would have done just that. However, since she didn’t want to embarrass her grandson in front of his schoolmates, she did her best to keep her calm and resist the temptation to pick up her flip-flops.
Agnes took deep breaths in order to calm herself. this content of novelfullbook.com, if you reading this content please go to website novelfullbook.com to continue reading, fastest update hourly
No one talked in the room, and only Agnes’ breathing could be heard.
A few minutes later, the old lady opened her eyes and gazed at her grandson with a solemn gaze.
“Ethan, only nobles are able to do what you want to achieve,” Agnes said in a calm manner. “Ordinary people like us do not have that luxury. Let’s say that I agree with your decision—do you honestly believe that you will be able to support such a large family?
“Do you think your monthly allowance in the academy is enough for that? You will only receive your Pillar Stipend till the end of this school year.
“When you become a Second Year, the academy will stop giving you ‘freebies’. You cannot support these ladies with words alone.
“Your grandfather was very handsome when he was a teenager, and there were many ladies who wanted to become his lover. However, he didn’t choose to have many wives. Do you know why?”
Ethan pondered for a bit before giving his answer.
“Because he is not a noble?” Ethan replied.
“No sh*t, Sherlocke,” Agnes sneered. “It’s because I beat him up in a pulp in front of those b*tches and told them that I would do the same to them if they didn’t leave him alone.”
Ethan looked at his Grandpa, who was also looking back at him. Although no words were spoken between the two men, they were able to communicate with their eyes alone.
‘You suffered a lot, Grandpa.’
‘Yes. So don’t be like me, Ethan. Live the dream.’
‘Got it, Grandpa. I will not let you down.’
If Agnes only knew what the two men were talking about, she would not hesitate to slap the two of them silly with her flip-flops until they forgot their names.
Fortunately, she didn’t know and simply looked at her grandson with a grave expression.
“Ethan, you are not a noble,” Agnes stated. “You don’t have what it takes to marry five people.”
Just as Ethan was about to give his reply, someone beat him to it, which surprised not only the handsome young man but also everyone in the room.
“If it’s just a matter of Noble Status, I can assure you that My Liege already has that qualification,” Emma stated. “As for wealth, this isn’t a problem either. In fact, even if his Liege have dozens of wives, I can say with confidence that they and their children would still be able to live a life of luxury.”
Agnes stared at Emma for a few seconds before turning his gaze to her grandson.
“Ethan, don’t ‘stick it’ in crazies, okay?” Agnes said with a serious expression on her face. “I promise you that that will be your downfall.”
Although Ethan heard his grandma, his gaze never left Emma.
He didn’t understand why his Promised One reacted that way. However, his curiosity was piqued.
His Grandparents didn’t know who his real parents were, but according to Emma, she did.
Ethan’s Other Half also attested that Emma was telling the truth, which made him wonder just what kind of secrets the girl was hiding from him.
