Wizard World Irregular-Chapter 464 I Will Lend You My Strength Once

Oscar Asta was hailed as the genius of the Asta Family from a young age.

Because of this, he had been chosen to become the next Patriarch of the Asta Family as early as the days when he was still in his early twenties.

Ever since he had assumed the position of the Head of the Family, their reputation and influence grew by leaps and bounds.

There was no one in Eastshire who didn’t know who the Asta Family was, for they were the Knights of the Kingdom.

Whenever there was a battle, their family would always be at the frontline, further increasing their prestige.

However, this had a side effect that Oscar hadn’t foreseen.

The younger generation of his family had grown very arrogant and often used their family name to intimidate others and get their way.

This was fine if they were dealing with commoners.

But when they were using their prestige against fellow Nobles, this was where the problem started.

Vladimir didn’t like the fact that a commoner like Ethan had gained the title of an Honorary Knight.

What pissed him more was that Nicole, whom he didn’t even take seriously, had achieved the same thing.

As someone who was being trained to become a future Magistratus, Vladimir had started to think that his peers were beneath him. freewebno vel.co m

He believed that no one in the same age group could achieve the things that he had done, making him feel superior and special.

Because he was indeed talented, Oscar turned a blind eye to some of his actions.

Unfortunately, he chose the wrong person to antagonize, which forced Oscar to step into the fray and try to diffuse the situation.

Unfortunately, Sebastian decided to also join the fray, even making sure that the Old Dog of the Asta Family understood that there were some people whom he couldn’t offend, just because their ranks were lower than him.

“Sir Ethan, I think this talk has gone too far,” Oscar said, ignoring the laughter around him. “Can we all both take a step back and start anew?”

“Sure, we can do that,” Ethan replied. “But I have one condition.”

“And that is?” Oscar questioned.

Before Sebastian could answer, Ethan’s Other Half whispered something in his ear, making the smile on his face widen.

“Slap him and him,” Sebastian said as he pointed at Vladimir and Constantine. “They were being rude to me and Nicole. As their elder and the Head of the Asta Family, isn’t it normal for you to discipline them?

“Of course, you can also choose not to. That’s also fine with me. However, from this moment onwards, the Asta Family should never again raise their heads, voices, fingers, or even feet in my direction. A second-rate Wizarding Family should know their place.”

The laughter and smiles earlier completely stopped.

Among Noble Families, there were words that must not be spoken no matter what.

They could play their silly games and talk behind each other’s backs, but directly attacking the prestige of a Noble Family in such gatherings was taboo.

Even Queen Evane, who was laughing earlier, frowned after hearing Ethan’s remark.

King Austen and Lord Edmond glanced at each other and nodded at the same time.

The Grand Archmage stood up and teleported between Ethan and Oscar, making sure that the boy would not be targeted by the Old Man, whose eyes had now become as sharp as a sword.

“Ethan, I’m afraid that you have gone too far,” Edmond said softly. “I think it is best that you cool yourself for a while. Oscar, please take your people and make sure they behave.

“I also ask everyone to be on their best behavior until this party ends. Please, we are all civilized people here, there’s no need to make things difficult for the stars of the night, right?”

Murmurs of agreement spread in the dining hall as the people returned to what they were doing earlier.

However, there was a subtle change in the surroundings.

The ladies who were fawning over Ethan earlier now looked at him with contempt. Those who had good impressions of him earlier also lost their interest, thinking of him as an arrogant prick whose head had become too big after receiving an Honorary Title.

Even Nicole’s face turned solemn as she looked at the young man, who had a faint smile on his face as he sipped his drink.

King Austen and Queen Evane both sighed in their hearts because they were very disappointed about Ethan’s earlier outburst.

Similar to the other Nobles, their good impression of him disappeared after he had shown his immaturity.

At least, that was what they were thinking.

They thought that Ethan was an immature brat who had become too conceited after becoming an Honorary Knight.

What they didn’t know was that Ethan’s Other Half had done that on purpose in order to lure a being, who had been paying close attention to Ethan since he arrived at the castle.

While everyone was giving Ethan sidelong glances and ridiculing him in hushed whispers, a young lady wearing a plain white dress walked down the staircase.

No one had noticed her until she arrived at the base of the stairs and walked in Ethan’s direction.

King Austen, Queen Evane, Lord Edmond, Oscar, and the other High-Ranking Nobles of the Kingdom, who knew who the young lady was, couldn’t help but look at her in shock.

This young lady wasn’t even beautiful.

In fact, she looked very plain.

She had a face that one would typically not remember if she were to mix with the crowd, never to be seen again.

But those who knew her understood that she was the most powerful being in Eastshire.

No.

Perhaps, she was the most powerful being in the entirety of the Shire Continent.

For she was the embodiment of the Sword of Claíomh Solais, whom everyone calls the “Sword of Light”.

The young lady, who seemed to be in her late teens, sat opposite Ethan and picked up a fork and a steak knife.

She then elegantly cut a small piece off the steak in front of her.

“Say ah…”

The plain girl said as she held the fork with the piece of meat on it.

Ethan blinked once, then twice, before doing what the girl said and ate the food that she had given him.

“Is it good?” the plain-looking girl asked.

“Yes,” Ethan replied honestly because the steak was indeed good.

The girl then smiled and nodded her head with satisfaction.

“The people in this castle are all small fish in the grand scheme of things,” the plain-looking girl stated. “They are not like the salmon who travel the rivers of the world to go to the wide open sea. You should not take them seriously.”

Ethan didn’t know why, but the plain-looking girl in front of him felt like she knew things about him that even he didn’t know about.

“Can I ask you a favor?” the young lady asked.

“What kind of favor?” Ethan asked back.

“Just a small one.”

“Okay. I’m all ears.”

The plain-looking girl then pointed at King Austen before shifting her gaze at Ethan, who was waiting for what she was going to say next.

“Austen is a good boy,” the plain-looking girl said. “Although he is a henpecked husband, he is a good boy. So, look after his family, okay?”

“He is the King,” Ethan replied. “He can look after himself easily.”

The plain-looking girl shook her head.

“You are a big fish, but he is a small fish,” the plain-looking girl stated. “When the time comes, you will understand.”

The young lady then shifted her attention to Nicole and held her gaze.

A moment later, the plain-looking girl stood up from her seat and whispered something in Nicole’s ears, making the latter’s face turn solemn.

After that, the young lady walked toward Ethan and cupped his face.

She then planted a kiss on his forehead before looking him straight in the eye.

“When the old ones return, it will be a time when ‘symbols will be more real than the things they represent’.

“When people no longer have thoughts of their own, and their minds are stronger than their instincts, come and find me. I will lend you my strength once.”

Her words were soft and yet firm at the same time. It reached the ears of everyone in the room, making those who knew of her identity shudder.

A moment later, she walked back up the staircase, uncaring of the countless gazes that were looking in her direction.

The moment her foot stepped on the last step of the stairs, she vanished completely, making everyone who was paying attention to her gasp in shock.

Ethan, who only knew the girl as the Protector of the Castle, had no idea of the significance of her actions.

However, the King, the Queen, the Grand Archmage, and all the High-Ranking Nobles of the Kingdom all thought of the same thing.

No matter what happened in the future, they must make sure that Ethan would not ever become their enemy.

The Will of the Sword of Light had spoken.

And only fools would dare to not take her words seriously.
