Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular
Chapter 728: The Sooner They Accept, The Faster They Will Be Able To Move On

Ethan, who didn't know why a group of students was glaring at him, approached Lily and asked her what was happening.

"They found out that we're married," Lily whispered. "They approached me to confirm if it's true or if it's just a joke."

According to Lily, last night, when they were giving the First Years in the Jaeger Manor a welcoming party, Heath, who was one of the Pillars of the First Years, asked Lily for her name.

Everyone familiar with her had expected to hear Lily Langley.

However, when she said that her name was Lily Gremory, the Second Years, Third Years, and Fourth Years all looked at her in surprise.

Of course, one of them immediately noticed the ring on Lily's finger, and when it was pointed out aloud, that was when all hell broke loose.

The news of Lily being married to Ethan spread through the Fan Club network like fire, and before the married couple knew it, they were already the talk of the entire academy.

Even now, some of the Professors were wondering if they should ask the Headmaster to talk to the two newlyweds to not openly show their affection publicly on the academy grounds to avoid conflicts.

"Is it true?" a Second Year from the Jaeger Manor, who had a big crush on Lily, asked. "Are the two of you really married?"

"Yes," Ethan replied and raised his hand to show his ring. "We are really married."

His reply devastated Lily's Fan Club. They never expected that their school idol would also fall into Ethan's lecherous hands.

"You already have Lady Lilian, so why did you still marry Lily?" another Second Year asked. "Can't you be satisfied with having a cute lover like her? Why must you marry Lily as well?"

"It's because we are hopelessly in love with each other," Ethan replied. "We've been together since last year, we just hid it from everyone's gazes."

Ethan's answer further incensed the teenagers, whose faces were flushed after hearing his answer.

Lilian, on the other hand, blushed after being called cute, making Luna, who was standing beside her, sigh in her heart.

She and the rest of Ethan's lovers all decided to not wear their rings in the academy, knowing that complications worse than the one happening in front of them would arise once other people noticed that all of them were wearing the same ring.

Only Lilith, who was usually in her cat form, was exempt from this decision.

Of course, they also wanted to tell everyone that they were all engaged to Ethan. But after careful consideration, they also understood that this may not be a good idea.

Lily and Ethan announcing their marriage was already a big deal.

If the academy knew that the young man was engaged to five other beautiful girls, with some of them having many admirers, it might end in a blood bath.

"Well, there you have it," Lily said as she linked arms with Ethan. "I am now Mrs. Gremory. Sorry if I can no longer be the Lily that you all respect and admire."

The teenage boys and a few girls still looked unwilling, but since their idol was already married, what else could they do?

They left one by one, but not without glaring at Ethan.

"Are you alright?" Ethan asked as he looked at Lily with concern.

"I am," Lily replied. "I already know that there would be a backlash. However, since this is what we decided, let's just ride the wave and let it pass. Are you headed to the Dining Hall to have breakfast? If yes, mind if I eat with you? That will also help confirm the rumors that are spreading in the academy."

"I think that is also a good idea," Ethan replied. "The sooner they accept, the faster they will be able to move on."

After that interruption, the group once again started to walk toward the Dining Hall.

Joanne and Hecate eyed the young man, thinking that he would have a troubled face because of what happened earlier.

However, instead of a troubled expression, he looked very happy as he walked hand in hand with his wife, who was the hottest topic of the academy at the moment.

Hecate's eyes softened after seeing the two teenagers walk in front of her.

A glance was enough to know how much Ethan and Lily loved each other, and this made her feel something warm rise up her chest, putting a sweet smile on her face.

When they entered the Dining Hall, they weren't surprised to see all eyes in their direction.

Ethan, who was taking the lead and holding Lily's hand, guided her to the Dud Manor table, prompting everyone to start whispering with each other.

Lily sat on Ethan's right side, while Lilian sat on his left.

Since everyone already knew that these two girls were Ethan's women, they didn't replace this arrangement surprising.

Luna sat opposite Ethan, with Hecate and Joanne seated side by side.

Although Joanne belonged to the Schwartz Manor, no one minded if she sat at the Dud Manor's table, knowing that she was Ethan's sister.

Also, since they wanted to get close to her, they wouldn't do anything to offend her.

Not paying attention to the other tables, Ethan and the rest ate happily.

Since the Dud Manor table only had a few people, the atmosphere was lively compared to the rest, who were giving the newlywed side-long glances now and then.

The Professors, especially Professor Barret and Professor Rinehart, didn't mind that the two had married each other.

While both of them were young, they understood that Ethan and Lily had withstood many challenges when they were sent back to the past, and even after their return to the academy.

Of course, they couldn't openly give them support because they do not promote marriage at such an early age in the academy.

If possible, they wanted their students to graduate first before even thinking about marrying each other.

"If things really get bad, I'll ask the Headmaster to make an exception to transfer you to Dud Manor," Ethan whispered in Lily's ear.

"I'd love that, but there is no need to do it," Lily replied. "This will pass, and nothing anyone says will make me regret marrying you."

Ethan, who was replaceing his wife incredibly cute at that moment, did his best to hold back the strong urge to kiss her in front of everyone.

Even though he didn't mind doing it, he had to think of her reputation, as well as the violent reactions that might follow as a consequence of his actions.

'The classes still haven't started, and we already have this headache on our hands,' Professor Barret said to the Headmaster through telepathy. 'It is best that we talk to Ethan later.'

Professor Rinehart nodded. 'Right. At least, we should set some rules so that their relationship will not affect the other students. The last thing we want to happen is to have a wedding boom all of a sudden.'

The two Professors smiled bitterly at each other because that would indeed become a problem.

Although marriages between students at a young age weren't uncommon in the academy, Ethan and Lily were both extremely popular in the academy.

Their marriage might make other couples think that marrying each other, while they were students, wasn't such a bad idea.

If Ethan knew that the two Professors who supported him the most in the academy were having a headache because of this matter, he would definitely feel guilty about it.

But since he wasn't aware, he enjoyed his meal with his wife under the sidelong glances of everyone in Brynhildr Academy.
