Chapter 915: Don’t Fall For Her Honey Trap [Part 2]
When she and Cedric were still students at Nightfall Academy, he noticed how Nero paid extra attention to the pair, granting them some benefits like having a small villa of their own.
Ordinary students wouldn\'t get this kind of treatment, and most of them would be staying in the dormitories of the academy.
Back then, he didn\'t think much about it and simply thought that each academy had a different way of doing things.
For example, in Brynhildr Academy, regardless of your family\'s rank of Nobility, there were only Five Manors to choose from.
Ethan never really cared about this stuff in the past. The only reason he ever bothered with it was because Chloe\'s father required him to become a Noble before agreeing to his engagement with Chloe, despite his intention of having many wives. It was the only compromise that he could agree on in that situation.
In Eastshire, Ethan had the rank of an Honorary Knight.
This was not really considered a Noble title.
But Ethans\'s other identity made him the Crown Prince of Caer Wydion.
A Kingdom that had hidden itself from the world.
And yet, its roots spread far and wide, extending to the neighboring kingdoms in Midgard.
The moment the Valentin Family decided to make their presence known to the world, there might not be a force in Midgard that could stop them.
This meant that Ethan didn\'t have to fear anyone.
With a powerful grandfather, a suave uncle, and a domineering father, anyone who tried to mess with him and Joanne was guaranteed to suffer a fate worse than death.
Of course, Ethan didn\'t really plan to ask his family for help if he was ever in trouble.
However, since the members of the Protector Clans were already there to help their Young Master, just a word from him would make their hidden armies move under his command.
Ethan gazed at Lilian with an affectionate gaze and simply held her tight.
He didn\'t want to wake her up because he wanted her to sleep a little longer before they visited her family.
Two hours later, Lilian finally opened her eyes and greeted him with a good morning.
The Flying Ship had parked in the Flying Port of Tarragon City, so Ethan and Lilian would need to either rent a carriage or fly directly to the Raylight Manor.
After careful consideration, Lilian suggested that they should just fly to their destination.
Her family\'s villa was located on an elevated piece of land, overlooking the city.
It was private property, so not just anyone could enter its premises.
Lilian hugged Ethan\'s back as they flew to their destination on his Wind Dancer.
Since her family\'s villa was located in the highest part of the city, Ethan didn\'t have any trouble finding it.
"Halt!"
Four Wizards flying on broomsticks intercepted Ethan\'s Wind Dancer, preventing him from going further.
"Only authorized people are allowed to fly through this airspace," a middle-aged wizard said. "You can\'t go further."
"Please stand aside," Lilian said as she showed her face to the Guards, who were protecting their property. "I\'m here to see my mother."
"Ah, it\'s the Young Miss," the middle-aged man immediately recognized Lilian and gave her a brief nod. "Forgive us. Lady Isabel didn\'t say anything about your visit today, so we thought that there were troublemakers planning to break protocol."
The middle-aged man then glanced at Ethan and frowned.
"Young Miss, he is?"
"He is my Fiance."
"F-Fiance?!"
Not only the middle-aged man, but the rest of the Guards looked at Ethan in surprise.
They didn\'t hear about their Young Miss having a Fiance, so this news caught them completely by surprise.
"Can we go now?" Lilian asked with a smile.
"O-Of course, Young Miss," the middle-aged man made a gesture for everyone to make way. "Should we escort you to the residence?"
Lilian shook her head. "There\'s no need for that."
She then lightly tapped Ethan\'s shoulder, signaling to him that they could now proceed forward.
Ethan obeyed her command and flew past the Guards, who were still reeling from the shock of learning that their spoiled Young Miss had finally found a lover.
When they were finally out of earshot, Ethan couldn\'t help but smile and ask Lilian a question.
"They didn\'t know that you already had a lover?" Ethan asked.
"No," Lilian replied. "This matter is something only my family knows. The guards are unaware of my private life."
"Well, now you\'re making me think that your family is very mysterious."
"Not really mysterious. Just… complicated."
Ethan and Lilian were stopped two more times before they were finally able to land at the gates of the Raylight Manor.
Standing there to receive them were six people.
Four of them were wearing maid attire, with heads bowed to show respect.
Ethan\'s gaze landed on Lilian\'s grandfather, Gilbert, who was looking at him with a conflicted expression on his face.
The beautiful woman beside the old man shared the same facial features as Lilian.
Ethan didn\'t even need to guess who this person was because he was certain that she was Lilian\'s mother, Isabel Raylight.
"Welcome home, Lilian," Isabel said with a smile.
"Mother," Lilian replied as she went to give her mother a hug.
The two hugged for a few seconds before Isabel glanced at Ethan, who was standing a distance away from them.
The clothes that Ethan chose to wear were the ceremonial clothes he wore when he was given the title of an Honorary Knight in the Royal Palace of Wisteria.
He really looked dashing in his uniform, and even the maids couldn\'t help but blush when their gaze landed on his face.
"You must be Ethan," Isabel greeted.
"Yes," Ethan replied before giving a respectful bow. "Ethan Gremory, at your service, My Lady."
"Oh my. What a fine knight in shining armor you have brought back home, Lilian." Isabel\'s smile widened. "It seems that your decision to change schools was the right choice."
"Maybe not," Gilbert interjected. "But let\'s not ruin the occasion. Do come in, Ethan. You have traveled far to get here, after all."
Ethan sensed that Gilbert seemed conflicted. But he could also tell that the old man had no hostility toward him.
This meant that although he had some misgivings about Lilian\'s relationship with him, it didn\'t mean that he opposed it either.
\'Don\'t lower your guard, Ethan,\' Sebastian commented. \'Although your future mother-in-law seems to like you on the surface, she might be scheming something inside.\'
\'Right,\' Ethan\'s Other Half agreed. \'Don\'t fall for her Honey Trap.\'
Ethan, who was walking toward his lover, almost tripped because of his Other Half\'s words.
Fortunately, he had managed to catch himself in time, or else, he might have left a very embarrassing first impression on Lilian\'s guardians, who were observing his every move.
