Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 696  Why Don’t You And I Have A Private Talk Later?

It was not only Gilbert who was surprised after seeing that small ripple created by Lilian’s Legacy Powers.

As someone who was fighting at the grandest stage where worlds and planes of existence were at stake, Catherine had also seen how powerful the Legacy Resonance was.

It was one of the Trump Cards of the different factions in the lands of Saraqael.

This power was so devastating that all Factions had come to an agreement that those who could wield it would only stay in their Capital Cities, and could not step foot on the front lines of the battlefield.

Even the Colossi and Progenitors had agreed to this condition because the devastation caused by such battles was off the scale.

Tens of thousands could die in less than a minute, and even those who sat at the apex of the worlds, didn’t wish to face such anomalies.

‘I need to talk to Ethan about this later,’ Catherine thought. ‘It would not be good if he remained ignorant of such a thing.’

Ethan’s mother then glanced at Lilian, who was sitting beside her son, and smiled faintly.

“Your name is Lilian, right?” Catherine said. “Please look after my son. He is a good boy, but he can be reckless at times.”

“Yes, Mother!” Lilian didn’t even bat an eye and called Catherine mother because she could tell that the beautiful lady was supportive of her relationship with Ethan.

Catherine nodded before shifting her gaze to the angelic beauty, who was also sitting beside her son, and holding his hand.

“Luna, please look after Ethan as well,” Catherine said. “He often tells me that you are always there to help him when he needs it the most. When he told me about the time he’s spent with you, his gaze always softens, which shows how much he loves and cares about you.”

Luna, who was also sitting beside Ethan, and holding her lover’s hand, blushed after hearing Catherine’s words.

Just like Lilian, she wanted to have a closer relationship with the beautiful lady, whom Ethan had gotten his good looks from.

After speaking her mind, she then glanced at Luna’s family respectfully because they would become her in-laws in the future.

“My son has already said everything he needed to say, but as his mother, I also hope that you will give him your blessings because he is not playing house with Luna,” Catherine stated. “Our Family also wishes to have her as our daughter-in-law.

“We might not have any lands or properties here in Eastshire, but I can assure you that our wealth in Midgard will not lose to anyone.”

Joanne, who had been keeping quiet, suddenly spoke out, which made Ethan and Catherine almost facepalm at the same time.

“We have a castle in Midgard. Our territory is vast,” Joanne stated. “And, last but not the least, my brother also has his own religi-mmmph!”

Catherine immediately covered her daughter’s lips before she could say more, which might make things complicated.

“A castle?” Rhea’s eyes widened in shock. “Then, are you Royalty?”

“We were once,” Catherine replied. “But now we’ve hid ourselves from the secular world, and just do what we can to survive.”

She wasn’t actually lying because the defenders of Midgard were truly doing what they could in order to protect their world and survive.

But, what she said was enough to make the money-grubbing old lady smile from ear to ear.

“I see, now I understand.” Rhea nodded her head in satisfaction.

It was not only her that came to an understanding.

Once upon a time, Ethan had left them with treasures and gold, which made them wonder where the young man had gotten it.

Now that they knew that he was “royalty”, the wealth that Ethan had shown them could be explained.

Luna’s father, who was just like his money-grubbing mother, grinned before looking at his no-good-sons.

“Hey, our guests’ cups are empty,” Bruce said. “Go brew some more tea.”

“The cookies I was baking in the oven should be done by now,” Rhea also snapped at her grandsons. “Go and serve them to our guests immediately. Your name is Catherine, right? Why don’t you and I have a private talk later?”

The old lady shamelessly connected her thumb, and index finger, forming the money sign, and winked at Ethan’s mother.

Luna’s face, which was already red, became a shade redder due to her grandmother’s and father’s antics.

However, Catherine also winked at Rhea because it was easier to deal with people like her, who understood the weight of gold more than anyone else.

Gilbert looked at his old friend in disdain because even though she was already old, she was still as greedy as she was when she was still a teenager.

“Well then, let’s get back to business,” Luna’s mother, Irene, looked at the handsome young man with a solemn gaze. “You wish to take Luna to Southshire to participate in your wedding with Lily, right?”

“Yes, Mother,” Ethan replied in a heartbeat.

“Very well, I will allow it,” Irene stated. “But, on one condition.”

Everyone’s gaze landed on Luna’s mother, who was now the one calling the shots.

“Luna will become your second wife,” Irene declared.

Luna’s family nodded their heads at the same time because this was a good plan to ensure that the young lady would not be the last girl that Ethan married.

Lilian, who heard this, couldn’t help but pout before looking at her grandfather for help.

Gilbert chose that time to avert his gaze, and pretend that he wasn’t aware of his granddaughter’s plea for help.

Suddenly, the silence in the room was broken by Ethan’s reply.

“I’m sorry, Mother, but I don’t think that’s possible,” Ethan replied, which made Luna, who was seated beside him, give his hand a light squeeze. T/his chapter is updat/𝓮d by n𝒐v(ê(l)biin.c/o/m

The two of them had already talked about their future marriage many times in the academy, and had both agreed on one thing.

“When I marry Luna, I will be marrying all of my other lovers at the same time,” Ethan declared. “No one will be left behind.”

“Will it be a grand wedding?” Rhea inquired.

“It will be the grandest wedding that the world has ever seen,” Ethan answered. “A wedding that will be talked about for many years to come.”

“Hahaha, those are some big words, my boy,” Philip commented. “But, can you really do it?”

“He can,” Catherine replied before her son could even answer. “I swear it upon my family name that we will make it happen.”

“And, what is your family name?” Gilbert asked.

He knew that Ethan was an orphan, so no matter how much they investigated him, they couldn’t get any leads on who his family might be.

Now that the teenage boy’s mother was there, it was the perfect time to know a bit more about the young man’s background, which was shrouded in mystery.

But, instead of answering, Catherine only shook her head.

“Now is not the time to say it,” Catherine replied. “For saying it now will only complicate things.”

“Is your family that famous?” Gilbert inquired. “Or infamous for that matter?”

Catherine nodded. “Let’s just say that there is no one in our generation who doesn't know our family’s name.”

There was simply no way that she could tell them that their family name was Valentin.

Because the moment she did, the Oswald Family might immediately break ties with her son, which was something that she and her husband didn’t want to happen.
