Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 552 People Will Believe What They Want To Believe

“Before I speak further, I want to stress how important this conversation is going to be,” Emma stated. “Since you are Master’s lovers, I have deemed that you have the right to know this information in order to avoid the possibility of friendly fire between our factions.

“As you may already know, the Young Master is being targeted by several Noble Families in Eastshire, especially the members of the Asta Family. Master is safe here inside the academy, so he is worried that they'd find a related target, like his grandparents or Chloe’s parents.

“Because of this, he asked the Protector Clans for help. While I can’t share any information about these Clans, I can tell you that they exist to protect the Master from any and all forces that would wish to harm him.

“So, if you ever find anyone suspicious following you or lurking somewhere in the shadows, do not attack them right away because they might be members of the Protector Clans, whose job it is to ensure Master’s safety.”

Luna, Lily, and Lilian nodded their heads in understanding.

The more they heard about these mysterious members of the Protector Clans, the more mysterious their lover became in their eyes.

Of course, Emma told them that Ethan was unaware of his family background and would only know more about it when the school year was over.

Only by that time would he embark on a trip to Midgard and take part in the coming-of-age ceremony, which would answer many of his questions that he had sealed inside his heart.

“How strong are these Protector Clans?” Lily asked with genuine curiosity. “You know, compared to my family?”

Lily had a feeling that Emma had done research about her background since she was Ethan’s first woman.

Because of this, she believed that Emma already knew who she really was.

“Let’s just say that each Protector Clan has a fighter that is on the same level as your father,” Emma replied with confidence.

“... Are you serious?”

“Very serious.”

Lily was still half doubting Emma’s declaration. She believed that not many people had the ability to match her father in terms of strength and fighting ability.

In her eyes, the only ones who had the ability to fight on par with her father were Professor Rinehart, Professor Barret, and the Grand Archmage of Eastshire, Lord Edmond.

If Ethan’s four Protector Clans have one member each that was as strong as Seff, then wouldn’t that make Ethan’s background extremely powerful?

“It’s fine,” Emma said as she looked at the disbelief that was painted on Lily’s face. “You will get the chance to meet them. After all, you will become one of Master’s future wives.”

What Emma didn’t plan to say was that one of those people, who was as strong as Lily’s father, would be leading the group that would be arriving in the Shire Continent in a month.

She also had no plans to tell this to Ethan because it was Enzo’s request. The Leader of the Assassination Group of the Catkins didn’t want his presence to cause his Young Master to lower his guard and relax.

In fact, Enzo was even thankful that Ethan was under a lot of pressure from outside forces. This way, the young man would focus on getting stronger so that he wouldn’t have to fear those that were after his life.

The other reason why Enzo was thankful was due to the fact that they gained a reason to mobilize a bigger team to infiltrate the Shire Continent.

This would give them a better understanding of the power dynamics between the four Shire Territories, making it easier for them to make their move depending on the situation.

Also, their current Master had informed them that the Fomorians were starting to stir and that they were planning to head to the Shire Continent, where Ethan was at.

Although they were certain that the Fomorians’ target wasn’t their Young Master, the possibility of him being entangled in their web was high.

“Do you know where they will be staying?” Ethan inquired.

He hoped to meet these people and get to know them better.

“Some of them will be in Limeburgh Town, while some will settle in any habitable places near the academy,” Emma replied. “In fact, I also hope that you will give Professor Rinehart a good word about them, so some of them can work inside the academy.”

Ethan pondered for a bit if the Headmaster would allow a group of suspicious people to suddenly start working inside the academy.

Although he didn’t know if he would gain his approval, he decided that he wouldn’t have anything to lose if he opened this topic during his training sessions with Professor Barret.

“Is there anything else that you wish to tell me?” Ethan inquired.

Emma nodded. “Right now, the Asta Family has started to become more low key. The King of Eastshire seems to be keeping everything under wraps from behind the scenes.

“But, the tension among the ranks of nobility is there. Even here in school, their machinations are in full effect, which has led to the spread of the rumors about the Young Master being Queen Celestia’s puppet.”

Ethan frowned, but he really didn’t plan on doing anything to the rumors that were spreading about him.

“Master, sometimes, even if it's not true, if people believe it to be the truth, it will become the truth,” Emma said with a solemn expression on her face. “People will believe what they want to believe, especially those who didn’t have a good impression of you to begin with, which is 90% of the guys in the academy.”

Lily couldn’t help but giggle after hearing Emma’s words. After all, she understood why the guys would hate Ethan.

The young man was always surrounded by beautiful girls, and most pretty ladies in the academy had a very good impression of him.

Not only that, but the bar for a potential partner also rose considerably. The noble ladies were using Ethan as the standard for their perfect partner, making it harder for guys to pursue them.

With such a high hurdle to overcome, the young men inside the academy, who were looking for talented Witches to start a relationship with, had learned to despise Ethan's existence.

“But remember this, Master,” Emma cautioned. “The Asta Family didn’t achieve their current rank and status because they are a weak family. Since they are being lowkey right now, it also means that this is the most dangerous time of all for you.”

Ethan nodded, having understood what Lily was talking about.

Since the Asta Family was being lowkey, it meant that there was a high possibility that they were cooking up something big and bad for Ethan.

“If I receive more news from my family, I will inform you about it right away,” Emma stated. “Now, if you will excuse me…”

Emma stood up and gave Lily a meaningful gaze before leaving the Tree House.

Luna and Lilian, who were still trying to digest what Emma had shared with them, glanced in Ethan’s direction.

But when their eyes landed on Lily’s face, who had a mischievous smile on her face, both of them blushed at the same time.

But, knowing that this was also a good time for intimacy, Luna and Lilian joined Lily in cuddling with Ethan and reaffirmed the feelings they had for each other.
