BXBX NOVEL Chapter 864: It’s Hard Being Single, Right?
Some of these ships belonged to the academies at odds with Brynhildr Academy. But this time, they made no move to hinder their path or engage them in combat.
This was a fortunate thing. After all, if they really attempted to attack Ethan\'s Flying Ship, all of them would have been annihilated on the spot.
With three Legacy Holders on board, they were a force that could even defeat an army if they were forced to a corner.
"You look troubled," Ethan said to Lilian, who was watching the scenery pass by on the deck of the ship.
"I am," Lilian replied. "Nightfall Academy has been good to me and, truth be told, if it weren\'t for you, I wouldn\'t have left."
"Do you regret it?" Ethan inquired.
"No," Lilian answered firmly. "I\'m glad I transferred. If I stayed behind, I wouldn\'t be as happy as I am now. Still, I am worried that some of the victims that went missing are my friends from the academy."
Ethan hugged Lilian from behind, and rested his head on her shoulder. He wanted to let her know that he would always be there to support her and that she shouldn\'t hesitate to ask for his help no matter what.
"Lilian, I know I haven\'t told you this, but back then, I found you very annoying," Ethan said. "You were like this spoiled princess who thought that you could get away with everything just because you and your brother were celebrities in Nightfall Academy."
"Mmm. We did start on the wrong foot when we first met," Lilian admitted. "I was indeed haughty and arrogant back in Nightfall Academy. I manipulated people in the background to take care of those who offended me. Of course, I never resorted to violence. I would simply tarnish their reputation and make sure that they would no longer be able to offend me again." "What a bold, bad girl," Ethan commented.
"Anything else I should know?"
"I... I once thought of tying you up on the bed and having my way with you," Lilian replied. "But since our Legacy resonates well with each other, my sensitivity is heightened to the limit. In the end, it\'s you bullying me every time we make love to each other.
"So I thought that I needed to get back to you. How about you lie obediently in bed and let me drop candle wax on your body as payback. Sound good?"
"This idea is good," Ethan kissed Lilian\'s cheek. "But after you\'re done, I\'ll punish you back. Are you ready for that?"
"See? You\'re bullying me again."
"You\'re so cute, Lilian. It makes me want to bully you."
Lilian puffed up her cheeks in frustration, but Ethan simply kissed them, making Cedric, who was looking at them, avert his gaze.
He was happy that his sister and Ethan were very much in love with each other, but he would appreciate it more if they didn\'t openly show their affection in public, as well as discuss things that made him wish that he also had someone to share his bed with.
Cedric was very popular with the ladies. If he wished for it, he could casually pick anyone in the academy, and they would willingly climb into his bed for a memorable night.
He had done it in Nightfall Academy, and that was how he developed a taste for women.
But after getting rejected by Luna, his way of viewing affection and love changed a bit. He no longer wished for casual dalliance, but a long-term relationship built on mutual love and respect.
In this regard, he envied Ethan. Not only was the latter surrounded by beautiful women, but he was also able to return their affection and made sure that they felt satisfied by his side.
"It\'s hard being single, right?" Cedric asked Emma, who was still in her assistant librarian mode. "As loners, we have it rough."
"Sorry," Emma replied. "But I\'m not single."
An awkward silence descended between the two before Emma broke the silence.
"But if you want to have a serious relationship with someone, I happen to know Lily\'s sister," Emma said. "She\'s a very gorgeous lady. Do you want me to set you up for a date?"
[E/N: I agree. Give Lyall a harem. Consort 1, Godfrey; Consort 2, Cedric. Any more candidates?] [E/N: Fufufu. Can you imagine?]
"Is that the lady who visited Lily before Ethan left the academy last time?"
"Yes. That\'s Lily\'s sister, Lyall. She has a very outgoing personality and is very bold when it comes to relationships. I can be your wingman if you want."
Cedric pondered a bit. Since Lily was Ethan\'s wife, and his sister was Ethan\'s fiance, Lily\'s family would also become part of his family. He had seen Lyall from a distance, and he had to admit that her looks were above average.
"You seem interested," Emma said in a teasing tone after seeing Cedric seriously pondering her proposal. "She\'s quite a catch, you know? If not for the fact that Ethan had already married Lily, there\'s a chance he might have married Lyall instead. If you don\'t hurry, she might get snatched away by someone."
"...What is she like?" Cedric inquired.
The corners of Emma\'s lips rose up into a smile. Clearly, she was only half serious about becoming Cedric\'s wingman.
However, she was also curious to know how Lyall would view Cedric, who was also a very handsome and powerful wizard in his own right.
Merric and the Catkin who overheard Emma\'s words, pretended that they didn\'t hear
anything.
As someone who had traveled with Lyall, all of them had varying opinions about the beautiful lady whose red hair color was as fiery as her personality.
Merric glanced at Cedric for a few seconds before chanting a silent prayer in his heart, blessing the teenage boy whom Emma was trying to throw as bait in front of the hungry wolf
that might devour him whole.
He believed that not many men could tame Lily\'s sister, whom even the Vampire Lord, Godfrey, didn\'t want to touch with a ten-foot pole.
But since this wasn\'t his problem, he pretended not to hear anything and guided the Flying Ship toward their destination, which they would reach in half a day.
