Chapter 546 A Lowly Noble Household Dares To Harm My Master?
“What do you plan to do now?” Lilian asked in a worried tone.
She knew perfectly well what the Asta Family was capable of, and knowing that they were targeting Ethan made her worry.
“I plan to talk to Emma later,” Ethan replied. “I’ll ask her to help me send a message to the Protector Clans and request that they protect my grandparents and Chloe’s Family from the Asta Family.
“I don’t know if they will help, but they are the only ones whom I can lean on at the moment. Also, I will try to convince Nicole at a later time to no longer participate in the Heir Wars. I have a feeling that they will set a trap for her or might even use her as a hostage in order to blackmail me.”
Luna and Lily frowned after hearing Ethan’s reply. It was evident that their dislike for the Asta Family had reached a new height, especially after learning that they might start targeting Ethan’s and Chloe’s families.
“There is also a possibility that the Asta Family will not be the only family who will start targeting me,” Ethan explained. “The families whose prodigies died inside the Legacy Domain might think that I’m the easier target compared to the Asta Family, who know I’ve caused their loved ones to die.”
The more Ethan shared his worries, the deeper the frowns that appeared on his lovers’ faces grew.
“I don’t like this,” Lily commented. “If this happened in Southshire, my Family would have dealt with all these problems in one go. We don’t like being on the passive side of things.”
Luna sighed sadly because she was also unable to help Ethan with his ordeal.
She belonged to a small Barony, and her family had always taken a neutral stance when it came to the conflicts between Nobles. Because of this, she could also not ask them for help.
And even if she did, what they could do was very limited and would not change anything.
“Don’t worry,” Ethan replied. “I’ll think of something.”
After talking for another hour, Luna and Lily left the room, leaving Lilian and Ethan behind.
“Lilith, come,” Ethan ordered.
A moment later, the Black Cat jumped out of his shadow and sat on the floor in front of him.
“Tell Emma to meet me later in the Secret Tree House,” Ethan ordered. “You already know what I plan to do, so inform her of that as well.”
Lilith nodded. “As you wish, Master.”
The Black Cat jumped out of the open window of Ethan’s room and disappeared from sight.
“I’ll bring you girls candies tomorrow, so make sure to behave while I’m away, okay?” Ethan said. “Nika, take care of Aria for now.”
“Sure thing, Your Highness.” Nika nodded in understanding. “I’ll look after Aria until you come to pick her up.”
After making sure that the Fairies were satisfied with their new territory, Ethan and Lilian flew toward the Library and entered the Secret Tree House, where they would wait for Emma.
To their surprise, Emma was already there and had even brewed some tea for their arrival.
“Lilith has told me what you need, Master,” Emma said. “I will write a letter today and send it to my family. I might not be able to speak for all the Protector Clans, but I believe that they will dispatch the veteran fighters to ensure yours and Chloe’s families are safe.”
“Thank you, Emma,” Ethan replied. “You are the only one I can count on for this.”
“Master, do you want me to tell them that you wish for the Asta Family to be destroyed?” Emma inquired. “We can do that too, you know?”
Ethan pondered for a bit before shaking his head.
Although he and the Asta Family seemed to be at the point of no return, he didn’t want an entire family to be erased just because of this.
Of course, if they truly did something toward his and Chloe’s Families, all bets would be off, and Ethan would want nothing more than to see their entire bloodline eradicated from the face of the world.
But since Nicole still carried the family name, Asta, he believed that there was still a possibility of a compromise.
Seeing that the young man still hesitated to give the kill order, Emma nodded her head in understanding.
However, she would still write in her letter that they should send people to watch the Asta Family’s every move.
If they did anything even remotely dangerous that might harm Ethan’s well being, then even without his orders, they would move in for the kill.
‘A lowly Noble Household dares to harm my Master?’ Emma sneered inside her heart. ‘They have no idea who they are dealing with.’
Ethan disliked conflicts, but the same thing couldn’t be said for Emma.
As his Promised One, her duty was to ensure his safety above her own safety.
Because of this, she was willing to tell the Protector Clans to ruffle the Asta Family’s feathers and make them understand that there were people who would not allow them to do as they pleased.
Especially when it concerned the safety of their Young Master, whom they were waiting to return to Midgard to discover the true secret behind his bloodline.
