Chapter 409 Treated As A Stud Horse And A Breeding Horse

?“Do you know why the two of you are here in my office right now?”

Professor Rinehart looked at Ethan and Nicole with a mischievous look on his face.

“It’s about the Dungeon Outbreak, right?” Ethan answered.

“Yes,” Professor Rinehart replied. “Tomorrow, a very important guest will be arriving at the academy, and he wants to see the two of you... especially you, Ethan.”

The young man groaned internally. He had already expected something like this to happen ever since Nicole had warned him about it.

Even so, he was hoping beyond hope that things wouldn’t escalate to the point that he would become too high-profile, not only in the academy but among the Nobility of Eastshire as well. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

“To make things easier, and for the two of you to understand how important this person is, I will tell you his identity,” Professor Rinehart stated. “He is none other than the Grand Archmage of Eastshire and the King’s right-hand man, Edmond Bourbon.”

Nicole arched an eyebrow after hearing the name of the special person who would arrive at the academy tomorrow to meet them.

All the High-Ranking Nobles, businessmen, as well as influential people in Eastshire knew who Edmond Bourbon was.

He was part of the Big Three of Eastshire, alongside the Ex-Magistratus, Professor Barret, and the Headmaster of Brynhildr Academy, Professor Rinehart.

The three of them were deemed as the three most powerful Wizards and the influence and authority each of them possessed covered the entirety of the Human Kingdom.

The funny thing was that all three of them were good friends and always watched each other’s backs.

This was also why Professor Rinehart was always up to date on all of the juiciest gossip, as well as the latest information regarding the Noble Families.

There were even times when Edmond would tell them State Secrets and then ask them to help him handle things from the shadows.

“Understood, Professor.”

Ethan watched the exchange and just sighed in his heart. It seemed that his opinion about dancing didn’t really matter because Professor Rinehart seemed dead set on making him learn how to dance.

‘Dancing is an important skill, Ethan,’ Ethan’s Other Half said in a serious tone. ‘Your grandfather will kick you out if he finds out that you don’t know how to dance.’

‘By my grandfather, you mean Grandpa Benjamin?’ Ethan inquired.

‘Of course, not. When I say your grandfather, I’m referring to your grandfather on your biological father’s side. That person has very high expectations of his bloodline, and anyone who doesn’t know how to dance in his family is a disgrace.’

Ethan quieted down because this was the first time that his Other Half had mentioned something about his grandfather.

According to Emma, he would know more about his identity after he completed his coming-of-age ceremony, which would happen once the school year was over.

During summer break, he would go with her to Midgard and visit his homeland, where his Family resided.

Or at least what remained of his family.

After giving them some final pointers, Ethan and Nicole left the Headmaster’s office together.

“I’ll talk to your dance instructor later,” Nicole said with a mischievous smile on her face. “I’m sure that she will be very happy to teach you how to dance. Also, it is also a good opportunity for you to...”

Nicole whispered something in Ethan’s ears, which made him shake his head helplessly.

“I didn’t know that an aspiring Magical Knight would have these kinds of thoughts in her head,” Ethan said.

“Magical Knights are Humans, too, you know?” Nicole shrugged. “Well then, see you later.”

Without even waiting for Ethan’s reply, Nicole summoned her flying broom and flew away.

Her participation in the defense of Otto City had garnered a lot of attention from the King, so she was certain that sooner or later, she would receive a letter from the Patriarch of the Asta Family, telling her about the details of the next stage of the still ongoing Heir Wars.
