Chapter 978: Watering The Fields
Chapter 978: Watering The Fields
After having a chat with Professor Barret, Ethan herded his sister and lovers to the Atlantean Ship, which was currently hovering two meters above ground.
He wanted to talk to them about something very private, and he didn't want to do it in the open, where others might hear them.
Once everyone had stepped into his cabin room, Ethan immediately looked at the young ladies and asked them a question.
"Is Lily really pregnant?" Ethan asked.
"How did you know?" Joanne, who was planning to surprise her brother, immediately pouted
after hearing his question. "I spent so much effort convincing everyone to let me be the one to share the news. Who told you?"
"Seff did," Ethan replied. "So, is it true?"
Ethan glanced at Princess Ramona, Lilian, and Emma.
The three young ladies nodded their heads at the same time, confirming Seff's news.
Although he believed that his father-in-law wouldn't pull a prank on him, he still needed confirmation.
And now that he finally got it, Ethan felt as if a stone had dropped from his heart.
"How long has she been pregnant?" Ethan asked.
"Give or take, it's around nine to ten weeks," Emma replied. "Congratulations, Master." "Luna, Chloe, and Samantha stayed behind to look after Lily," Lilian commented. "And I know that you will ask how it happened, but she also doesn't know how it happened.
"She wanted us to tell you that she always took the Contraception Potions every time the two of you made love. Emma is our supplier, so we're all sure that the quality is guaranteed." Emma nodded. "I've been thinking about it for the past week, and I think that it might have been possible that Lily's body had gained some kind of resistance to the potion. I'm not really sure if this is the case, but since it happened, it might have been the cause."
Emma was confident in her potion making abilities, so she purely believed that Lily's pregnancy was a fluke.
Ethan had a healthy relationship with his lovers, and some of them were very willing to spend some quality time with him under the sheets.
But since all of them were still young, they made sure that none of them would become pregnant before graduating from the academy.
"Even so, I still believe that this is a blessing in disguise," Princess Ramona said with a smile. "Although we can't give birth to your child at the moment, Lily's baby is going to be our baby as well."
"That's right!" Joanne patted her chest with a smile on her face. "I will be their aunt, so I'm going to spoil them rotten."
Ethan smiled faintly because he could feel that everyone was happy about Lily's pregnancy. "Still, I would be lying if I said that I'm not feeling envious," Lilian, who was usually reserved, approached Ethan and gave him a hug. "One day, I will also have your baby, okay?" The mood in the room immediately changed.
Ethan's lovers all looked at him like wolves who wanted to take a bite out of him.
If not for their current situation, he might have already asked Joanne to wander around the military camp for an hour or two, while he satisfied his lovers in ways that only he could give them.
(E/N: Just one or two hours? Illumina drained you that much?)
"By the way, who are those beautiful ladies beside Illumina?" Lilian asked. "Are they perhaps your new concubines?"
Ethan immediately shook his head. "No. They're the Mermaid Princesses of the Sea. All of them are powerful in their own right, so I invited them to help us in the war against the Fomorians."
For some reason, Lilian's stare made Ethan feel as if his heart was being scratched by a kitten, so he made sure to answer honestly.
"So... they're not your concubines yet?" Joanne blinked. "Then, maybe in the future?"
(A/N: Hold up. Based on personal experience, going in the double digits is not daijoubu.)
(E/N: There are other men in the novel. Conall is still single.)
(E/N: He'll have to move if they are added before Nicole.)
"Silly girl. What are you talking about?" Ethan lightly pinched Joanne's cheek, making the latter cry out in surprise.
The young lady immediately hid behind her best friend, Princess Ramona, and looked at her brother with a face filled with injustice.
"I just said maybe in the future!" Joanne pouted. "Why did you pinch me? Are you perhaps feeling guilty?!"
Princess Ramona, Lilian, and Emma gave Ethan the "don't make promises you can't keep❞ gaze, which was enough to make the young man decide to change the topic of the discussion.
"Since all of you decided to join this war, know that I will not be able to look after you in the heat of battle," Ethan said in a serious tone. "Please prioritize your safety at all times. If you think your lives are in danger, run away immediately."
The young ladies nodded their heads in understanding.
They had come to help the young man, not become damsels in distress who needed
protection.
"Well, um, since it has been a while since all of you met, this third wheel is going to leave," Joanne said in a mischievous tone. "It's been a while since I saw Illumina, so I'll go and chat
with her."
The young lady then moved towards the door of the cabin, but before she left, she turned around and winked at her brother.
"Make sure to use soundproofing spells," Joanne stated. "Ramona's voice always leaks through the door when the two of you do it."
"It does not!" Princess Ramona immediately denied this.
"I'm just joking!" Joane giggled before closing the door behind her.
The four people inside the cabin looked at the door for a few more seconds before Emma raised her wand to cast a sound proofing spell.
As if further making sure that no one would really hear whatever was going to happen next inside the room, Lilian also casted a second layer of Sound Proofing Magic.
A moment later, the three young ladies all hugged Ethan and shared kisses with him. While he originally didn't intend to do anything at the moment, his lovers' affectionate kisses and caress made Ethan decide to water the fields and make sure that they were properly nourished before the war against the Fomorians officially started.
