chapter 1020: he’s so lucky, right?
"professor, are you sure you want a vampire lord who likes to drink the blood of powerful witches to be the dark arts professor?" ethan inquired.
an hour after his arrival, the young man went to professor rinehart's office, wanting to talk to him about godfrey in private.
but when he arrived, professor barret was also inside the room. it seemed that he had just finished discussing something with the headmaster.
when ethan came in, professor barret decided to stay after the young man asked him to be present as he talked to professor rinehart.
"i know what you're thinking, ethan," professor rinehart replied with a smile. "but i assure you that nothing of the sort will happen. godfrey will not be drinking any blood from our students. the moment he does, he will immediately be punished by the oath of brynhildr." the young man frowned because this was the first time he was hearing about the oath of brynhildr.
"does it have something to do with the statue of lady brynhildr on the north tower of the academy?" ethan inquired.
the statue was the guardian of the academy, and her name was brynhildr.
according to the history books, she was a very powerful valkyrie who once served the all- father when he was still protecting the nine realms.
"that's only one of the reasons," professor rinehart smiled. "after all, that alone wouldn't have assured me to let a vampire lord stay in the academy. the main reason why i agreed to let godfrey teach here is because the vampire progenitor personally came to ask me to accept his son as a professor in this academy.
"he also guaranteed that godfrey will not do anything to harm or seduce the students of our academy—though, well, since he is good-looking, i'm sure he doesn't even need to try.
"the vampire progenitor also promised that he will make sure his son won't do anything that will harm the academy."
ethan was surprised after hearing that the vampire progenitor had personally stepped in to guarantee that godfrey wouldn't do anything bad during his stay in the academy.
the words of a progenitor was like a law, and if he truly gave such a guarantee, then the young man now understood why such a thing was allowed to happen.
although he was still feeling a bit worried, he was feeling less anxious after hearing the headmaster's explanation.
"ethan, i know that you and godfrey had some conflicts in the past, but for the bigger picture, let's give him a chance to redeem himself," professor barret commented from the side. "a vampire lord who has lived for hundreds of years has a vast amount of experience, which might help expand the knowledge of the academy.
after leaving the headmaster's office, ethan returned to dud manor and found lyall and conall in the common room chatting with lily.
narissa was also there, with the golden egg nestled in her chest, looking very comfortable.
the other fomorians, who were made up of six pretty ladies, sat on the couch and seemed to be asking joanne, ramona, and luna some questions.
when he arrived, lyall and conall greeted him with smiles on their faces.
lily's mother, leah, had repeatedly warned lyall to not run her mouth and talk about her sister's pregnancy in public.
although lyall could be talkative at times, she understood that her sister would suffer hardships once the secret of her pregnancy was brought to light.
this was why despite the fact that she was tempted to tease the young man about lily's pregnancy, she decided to talk about other things, including the flame that she shared with
someone.
"what?!" ethan looked at lyall in surprise. "you and cedric are seeing each other?!"
"huh?!" lilian, who overheard her lover's words, looked at lyall in disbelief. "you and my brother are now a couple?"
"shhh, don't say it out loud." lyall chuckled. "just so you know, compared to ethan, cedric is barely passable. also, your brother lucked out because he hit the jackpot when i agreed to be in a relationship with him. however, whether he stays as my boyfriend or not will take some skill. i don't like weaklings after all. he's so lucky, right?'
'what jackpot are you talking about?!'
'who's lucky to have you as a girlfriend?!'
ethan and lilian thought at the same time, finding this revelation simply incredulous.
however, since this was cedric's personal matter, both of them were hesitant to interfere.
in the end, ethan could only offer a silent prayer to lilian's brother, who didn't know that he was in for a wild ride.
