Chapter 951: I’m Going To Congratulate You Twice
"Illumina? Are you talking about the Mermaid Princess who appears whenever you cast your Resonance?" Professor Rinehart asked.
"Yes, Professor," Ethan answered. "The main core of my wand is the Rainbow Scale that belonged to the Mermaid Princess, Illumina."
"Interesting," Professor Rinehart played with his beard. "This sounds like a story out of a fairy tale. Can you tell me more about it?"
Ethan nodded and told Professor Rinehart about the origin of his wand. The more the Headmaster of Brynhildr Academy listened to it, the more his interest grew.
"A fate that bound two people for hundreds of years." Professor Rinehart sighed. "If this isn\'t called Fate, I don\'t know what else to call it. By the way, do you want me to pass a message to your wife, Lily?"
"About that, Professor, I\'d like to ask for a favor," Ethan said in a serious tone. "I\'d like to talk to her, as well as my other lovers, in person. Can you let them borrow your crystal ball for an hour or two?"
Professor Rinehart gave Ethan a knowing smile and nodded in understanding. "Of course. But before that, can you tell me about your current situation?"
"Of course, Professor," Ethan replied.
The young man then told his tale of traveling under the sea to search for Illumina.
When he mentioned that he found the lost city of Atlantis, Professor Rinehart almost choked on the tea he had just been drinking.
Naturally, Ethan didn\'t stop there and told him that he faced the Colossi, King Oceanus, in order to protect Illumina.
Professor Rinehart\'s eyes widened in shock when the young man told him that he fought against a Colossi. However, nothing could have prepared him for the bomb that Ethan casually dropped in the middle of his tale.
"I killed King Oceanus and burned his body until only ashes were left," Ethan said calmly. "After that, I killed the Naga Prince, then I used my Authority to make the rulers of the sea disband their plans of conquering the kingdoms on land."
The more Professor Rinehart listened to Ethan\'s story, the more he felt that the young man might just be teasing him.
However, the Headmaster had known Ethan for a long time, so he was sure that everything that Ethan was telling him was the truth.
When the story ended, Professor Rinehart realized that he had stopped breathing for nearly two minutes, making him gasp for air in shock.
"Ethan, it seems that your latest adventure is as thrilling as your other adventures." Professor Rinehart sighed. "A few months ago, you fought against a Demigod and went to look for the Progenitor of Magic at World\'s End.
"After surviving the invaders, as well as the Progenitor\'s mischief, you found yourself facing off against the Twilight Witch. A month later, you decided to leave the academy to face off against the Fomorians, only to stumble upon the City of Atlantis.
"Then, you suddenly find out that you\'re a Prince of Atlantis? After that, you went to save your Mermaid Princess from the Colossi, King Oceanus, and now, you\'ve become the Spiritual Leader of the Ocean Races.
"Then you\'re about to marry the Mermaid Princess and have that fairy tale wedding under the sea. Tell me, what are you going to do next?"
"Um… have a honeymoon?"
"You brat! Are you bragging right now?!"
Ethan couldn\'t help but scratch his cheek because after Professor Rinehart enumerated everything that happened, he realized that he had truly gone through multiple incredible adventures.
"Fine, let\'s talk more about it later." Professor Rineahrt commented. "I can tell that you really want to talk to Lily and the others, so I\'ll go find her for the time being."
"Thank you, Professor."
"Mmm."
An hour later inside Ethan\'s Room…
Several young ladies were gathered around the crystal ball that rested on top of the table.
All of them looked at the young man who was just as happy to see them.
"I miss all of you," Ethan said as soon as he saw his wife and lovers. "I\'m afraid that the artifact cannot remain active for so long, so I will tell you the important things that happened to me."
Ethan repeated the same story that he had told Professor Rinehart, making the young ladies look at him in disbelief.
They were very surprised when they found out that Ethan was a Prince of Atlantis.
But when they heard that he had killed a Colossi, they immediately thought that he was just teasing them.
However, seeing how serious he was, they realized that he was telling the truth.
When the young man told them that he was about to marry Illumina in a few days, Joanne and Ramona gasped in shock because the two of them had become good friends with the Mermaid Princess when they were still in the Magdar Kingdom.
The young man looked a bit guilty as he looked at his other lovers, who were looking at him with faces filled with injustice.
But, in the end, they knew that the marriage wasn\'t Ethan\'s fault, and he had only been dragged into the flow.
"Congratulations, brother!" Joanne said with a smile. .net
"Thank you, sister," Ethan replied.
"I\'m going to congratulate you twice," Joanne smirked. "The first one was because you\'re getting married. The second one is because you\'re going to become a Fat—mmpph!"
Ramona, who was seated beside Joanne, hurriedly covered her best friend\'s mouth, preventing her from saying the rest of what she wanted to say.
In her excitement, she had forgotten that Lily told them to keep her pregnancy a secret for the time being.
Fortunately, Ramona was able to react on time, and Joanne immediately realized that she almost spilled the beans.
Because of this, the young lady looked at Lily apologetically, making the latter shake her head.
"Ethan, congratulations," Lily said with a smile. "You were destined to be with Illumina, so you don\'t have to worry. But looking at my sisters, all of them are a bit upset because you\'re marrying her right away while they\'re still your Fiancees. When the time comes, you better make sure that you will hold a grand wedding for all of them.
"You\'re not allowed to marry again unless you are going to marry everyone at the same time, understand?"
Lily wanted to change the topic so that Ethan wouldn\'t dwell on Joanne\'s small mishap, making everyone sigh in relief.
Ethan nodded. "I\'m sorry, everyone. This is my fault. I promise that the next time I marry, I will be marrying all of you at once. No one will be left behind. Also, I\'ll make it a grand wedding."
"You better," Chloe replied. "Or else, we will ignore you for life."
"Understood," Ethan said. "Also, Chloe, I have found the Cauldron of the Dagda. Unfortunately, there are some circumstances that make it impossible for me to take it in my custody."
"Oh?" Chloe frowned. "Tell me more about it."
Ethan then told her about Princess Ariel who obtained one of the treasures of the Tuatha De Danann.
Chloe\'s frown deepened when she heard that the cauldron was now soul bound to the Mermaid Princess, which made things quite complicated.
