217 Never Again
After that long talk, everyone retired for the night.
The moment Emma closed the door of her room, a sigh escaped her lips.
She might’ve looked calm on the surface, but her heart was beating wildly inside her chest.
‘I should have better self-control in the future,’ Emma thought in hindsight. ‘But, If I hadn’t spoken up, Ethan would have had a hard time convincing his Grandparents that it was okay for him to have more than one wife.’
Now that she was more rational, she realized that there were many ways she could have tackled this problem. But what was done was already done.
She couldn’t turn back time, and even if she could, she wouldn’t have changed a thing.
Although there were ups and downs during the discussion, in the end, the result was acceptable.
She had gotten a bit closer to Ethan’s Grandparents, and she also successfully proved to Ethan’s smug-faced cousin that she knew more things about Ethan that Chloe didn’t know.
“This is bad,” Emma muttered. “Why am I getting fired up and quarreling with the Young Master’s potential wife? Hah… I need to rein in my emotions. I thought my training as a standoffish Assistant Librarian was enough. I guess I am still lacking.”
The young lady shook her head helplessly as she removed her clothes. After tidying up a bit, she put on a one-piece black nightgown that highlighted the curves of her body.
If there was one thing that the Daughters of the Meredith Clan were proud of, it was their seductive bodies that were honed to be of service to their Young Master.
All of them had to go through a strict test before they were approved to become a Wanderer, who would embark on a journey to find the one that held their Lord’s Bloodline.
Just as Emma was about to blow the candle near her desk to rest for the night, she heard a tapping sound on her window.
There, she saw her Raven, Dawn, tapping the window to inform her Master that she had returned.
Emma didn’t waste any time and hurriedly opened the window, allowing her Spirit Guide to enter.
She then took out the letter from the magical cylinder from her raven’s feet that held the reply to the letter she had sent when Ethan returned to the academy.
——————————
Dear Daughter of Mine,
We received your letter and it brought us great joy to know that the Young Master had successfully returned to us.
However, the Council has decided that you are not enough to protect his well-being. They have sent two more people who will help the Young Master, and you are not allowed to get in their way.
This is the will of the Council, so you have no say in the matter.
The Young Master’s life is very precious, so don’t let your pride get the best of you.
Cooperate with them and ensure his safety. Do not forget, the Meredith Clan was created to be the Eyes and Shield of Our Liege.
The Oddfrid Clan, who serves as our Lord’s Sword, has also sent someone to protect him.
The same can be said for the Argus, and Orpheus Clans. They would send their best people to help protect the Master from any danger that might befall him before he’s awakened his True Legacy.
Worry not, your position as his Promised One is still in effect, and no one will take it away from you unless you fail miserably.
Remember, my Dear Daughter, failure is not an option.
Even if you have to sacrifice your life, you have to ensure that an incident like the Nexus will not happen again.
May the Weave always guide your path.

After reading the letter, Emma placed the letter on the candle and burned it.
These secret letters must not be seen by anyone. They were duty-bound to destroy it after they finished reading it.
Emma had already made sure that she would be one of the representatives who would accompany Ethan to Nightfall Academy.
Just like her mother said, they couldn’t allow a repeat of the incident that took their Young Master to the past.
Ethan was that precious and, no matter what, even if the Four Clans had to sacrifice many lives, his safety must be guaranteed.
“For the Council to send their people, it can only mean one thing,” Emma muttered. “The Templars are on the move again.”
A cold look appeared on Emma’s beautiful face as she thought about the people who forced Lady Catherine to abandon their Young Master in order for him to have a chance to live.
“Never again,” Emma said softly. “Never again will we allow them to succeed.”

In Ethan’s Room…
“… What are you two doing here?” Ethan asked as he looked at the two young ladies who were wearing their pajamas and holding a pillow.
“We came here to ensure that Emma will not sneak into your bed at night,” Chloe replied. “That b*tch, I can tell that she is planning something bad.”
Ethan sighed before standing up from the bed to hug the two girls.
“Okay, let’s all sleep together,” Ethan said before kissing their cheeks. “It has been a long day.”
Chloe and Luna nodded before kissing him back.
Ethan had already made his feelings known to both of them, so they were fine with these small acts of intimacy behind closed doors.
Kisses on the cheeks were nothing compared to kisses on the lips, and Ethan had already kissed them many times whenever he needed to absorb their magical powers.
Also, after spending more than a year with Lily in the Lands of Alastor, he was no longer that innocent, young boy who knew nothing about women.
“Ethan, are you also going to tell my parents what you said to Grandma?” Chloe asked as she laid down beside the handsome young man.
“Yes,” Ethan replied. “I will talk to Aunt and Uncle. I don’t want to do things half-heartedly. Since I’ve already made my decision, I will make sure that they understand how serious I am.”
“Great!” Chloe genuinely felt happy because she didn’t want to keep her relationship with Ethan from her parents.
Although they wouldn’t blatantly show their intimacy in public, especially in the academy, it was nice to know that their families were aware of the bond they shared with each other.
As for Luna’s family, Ethan also planned to visit them. But, he wouldn’t do it right now.
Luna’s family was a noble family, and for him to even have a chance to convince them to agree to his relationship with their daughter, he must achieve something that they could recognize.
Noble Families usually intermarried with other Noble Families. This was to ensure that they would benefit from something, whether it be an alliance or strengthening business ties with each other.
Ethan knew that now was not the right time to dig into his family’s background. He needed to make a name for himself first.
Although many Noble Households knew that he was able to use Partial Resonance, it was still not enough to make them use their daughters as pawns to entrap him.
At the end of the day, he was still a Dud, and his magic was faulty at best.
At least, that was what the students in the academy, as well as all of the important people, knew.
They weren’t aware that Ethan had the blood of a deity running in his veins, who could command the Storm and Sea to do his will. this content of novelfullbook.com, if you reading this content please go to website novelfullbook.com to continue reading, fastest update hourly
Holding the two ladies in his arms, Ethan closed his eyes.
The future was uncertain, that much he knew.
However, even with the unknown blocking his way, all he needed to do was carve his own path and grasp the happiness that he deserved.
