Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

It also had a railway station that would allow them to travel to other towns in the span of a few hours.

Students whose villages and towns were near the academy would often take the train to visit and stay with their families during the weekends.

Today, Ethan was also in Limeburgh Town to have a date with Emma, who was currently wearing a disguise using a magical artifact.

Since she belonged to Schwartz Manor, which Langston was also part of, she couldn\'t afford to be seen in public with Ethan.

It wasn\'t an exaggeration to say that Ethan was Langston\'s most hated person in the academy.

This was especially true after he lost his Pillar Title to the person whom he ridiculed and called a good-for-nothing Dud in the past.

Now, no one dared to look down on Ethan.

Even now, people still thought that he no longer belonged in Dud Manor and should be transferred to the Eques Manor instead.

However, Professor Rinehart was firm in his decision to let Ethan remain in Dud Manor for reasons he only knew about.

Currently, the young man was waiting for Emma inside a cafe located on the west side of Limeburgh Town.

It was quite far from the most popular shops and attractions, so not a lot of people visited it.

Ethan sipped the lemon juice he had ordered while looking at the people passing by the cafe.

It had been a while since he last felt this laid back, especially after returning from the Capital City of Wisteria.

More than half a year had passed since he accidentally rode the wrong train that brought him to Brynhildr Academy.

If he hadn\'t picked up Alice\'s ticket back then, his life would have been very different from the one he was living right now.

He would probably be in Saint Claire Academy, trying his best to fit in with the normal people, who would definitely tease him as a country bumpkin.

Ethan would probably remain oblivious to the secret world, which was hidden from the eyes and ears of those who didn\'t know the existence of the magical world.

While the young man was thinking of the "what if\'s" and "might have been\'s," someone talked to him, breaking him out of his daze.

"Sorry, did you wait for a long time?" a young lady with long brown hair and brown eyes asked with worry written on her pretty face.

"No, I just got here," Ethan replied as he made a gesture for Emma, who was wearing a disguise, to sit on the chair beside him. "You look beautiful today."

Emma pouted after hearing Ethan\'s compliment.

Since she was wearing a disguise to hide her true appearance, in her ears, it sounded like Ethan was praising the pretty girl whose features she had copied for disguise.

"I\'ll let her know your words when we visit Midgard," Emma replied with a pouting tone. "I\'m sure she\'ll be happy to know that you said she looks beautiful."

The face that she was currently using was the face of one of her friends back in her hometown.

This was the face she usually used whenever she went out of the academy to do some missions so that no one would discover her true identity.

Of course, the person whose face she was using had also been informed about this and even gave Emma permission to use her face anytime she wished to do so.

Knowing that his teasing had gone too far, Ethan smiled and held Emma\'s hand, giving it a light squeeze.

"I\'m sorry," Ethan replied. "I shouldn\'t have teased you like that."

"Instead of saying sorry, you should treat me to something good."

"Of course. What do you want?"

Emma mischievously smiled before whispering something to his ear.

"Sounds like a plan." Ethan nodded.

A few minutes later, the two of them flew into the sky, riding Ethan\'s Wind Dancer.

Emma sat behind Ethan\'s back and hugged him from behind.

Two ravens flew beside them.

One was white, and the other black.

They were none other than Dantalion and Emma\'s Raven, Dawn.

Both ravens accompanied their Masters and served as scouts, watching over their surroundings. This was to ensure that no one would disturb their date, which the young man had promised to take Emma on some time ago.

Soon, they arrived at their destination, which was a flower field that was an hour away from Limeburgh Town.

Spring had arrived, and although not all the flowers in the field were blooming as of yet, there were still enough of them to make the scenery worth seeing.

Landing beside a tree, Ethan dismounted his broom, took out a picnic blanket, and laid it down on the ground. Emma also got down and took off her shoes.

Ethan placed his hand on the tree and transferred his Secret Tree House to it. The two of them entered the tree before Emma took a basket of her own out of her storage ring.

The reason why she was late was because she was making sandwiches for their lunch.

Emma didn\'t have many opportunities to go on a date with Ethan because he was always surrounded by Luna, Lily, and Lilian.

Since she had accepted her role as a concubine, she had no plans to take center stage and get in the way of her future mistresses.

Ethan had also noticed that Emma was willing to take a step back whenever his other lovers were with him. It was because he noticed this that he readily accepted her invitation for a date, and he wanted to spend some quality time with her as well.

"Emma, I know that there are still many things that you can\'t tell me," Ethan said after eating a sandwich. "But my Astral Body has traveled to the Lands of Saraqael where I met my mother, Catherine. Can you tell me more about her?"

Emma pondered a bit before nodding her head.

Her Master had already told her, as well as his other lovers, about the time when he was at the Lands of Saraqael.

Through his story, they realized that Ethan\'s mother, Catherine, was still alive and was waiting for them in Midgard.

Ethan had also talked in passing about meeting Vincent and Cliodhna, whom he believed had a connection with his family.

Since that was the case, Emma had more leeway in telling her Master a few things that were within her power to divulge.

"Lady Cliodhna and Lady Catherine are sisters by blood," Emma stated. "Lord Vincent and your Father worked together to make these two ladies become their wives. Your father was not very good at expressing himself through words, so he had a harder time wooing your mother.

"He isn\'t like Lord Vincent, who was very good at talking to the ladies and chasing their skirts. There was even a saying in our town that all the mothers and fathers should hide their daughters when Lord Vincent takes a stroll through town. If they were seen by him, the chances of them getting pregnant were high."

Emma chuckled after recalling her childhood memories. Vincent was being treated like the Boogeyman to scare the children, especially the girls, making them more obedient to their parents.

Ethan couldn\'t help but chuckle after hearing this information about the person whom he had confirmed to be his Uncle.

"Lady Catherine was beautiful and loved by everyone," Emma continued her tale. "She had many suitors, and your Father was one of them. However, since your father was… intimidating, the suitors who were trying to woo your mother decided that getting on his bad side wasn\'t worth it.

"Also, Lord Vincent was a good wingman, always giving your Father a push, so he could spend some time with Lady Catherine."

"After many years, the two of them finally became a couple. My mother said that when they found out that Lady Catherine was pregnant, all the Protector Clans rejoiced.

"However, the peaceful and happy times didn\'t last long. A cult…"

Emma winced before raising her hand to touch her forehead.

"Are you alright?" Ethan asked as he rested his hand on Emma\'s shoulder and worriedly looked at her face which had become as pale as a candle.

"I\'m sorry, Master," Emma replied. "That is the only information that I can tell you right now."

There was a very powerful ancient magic that was placed on the members of the Protector Clans, preventing them from divulging too much information about Ethan\'s background before he had completed his coming-of-age ceremony.

This was done not only to protect Ethan but to protect his Protectors as well, just in case they were captured by those who wished to find out the young man\'s whereabouts.
