Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

221 Five Year Agreement [Part 2]

The amount of treasure that was piling up on the floor was greater than the wealth of Barons, Viscounts, and perhaps even Earls.

With this much wealth, Ethan could back up his claim that he was capable of supporting five wives and a big family.

"Are you convinced that I have what it takes to support your daughter now, Uncle?” Ethan asked.

"Where did you get all of these treasures?” Soren asked.

"I got it when I traveled to the Lands of Alastor,” Ethan replied. “Don’t worry, I didn’t steal any of it. All of this was given to me.”

"Given to you?”

"Mmm.”

Ethan didn’t want to disclose what happened in the Lands of Alastor to Chloe’s parents.

"I might not be a Noble,” Ethan stated. “But if getting a Noble Title is the only thing that will convince you, then I will work hard on getting it. Even if you don’t accept my request to make Chloe my fiance right now, I hope that you will not close off this possibility either.”

Jessica sighed before looking at the handsome young man whom her daughter had a crush on for many years.

"Do you like my daughter?” Jessica asked.

"Yes,” Ethan replied. “I want to make her happy.”

Soren clicked his tongue. “I still don’t approve of it.”

Although he was saying that he didn’t approve of it, his voice wasn’t as loud and aggressive as it had been earlier.

Ethan also noticed this and smiled. Based on the other party’s reaction, he should be one step closer to achieving his goal.

"Then, what should I do in order to get your approval, Uncle?” Ethan asked.

"Become a Noble,” Soren replied. “A Marquess. I won’t accept any rank lower than that.”

A Marquess?” Agnes looked at Soren in disbelief. “If anyone could easily become a Marquess, then everyone, including their fathers, would have already become High-Ranking Nobles.”

Soren snorted. “If he can’t even do that, then he can forget marrying my daughter. I will not hand Chloe over to a nobody.”

Just as Agnes was about to retort to Soren’s words, Ethan raised his hand to stop his grandmother.

"Very well,” Ethan said. “I accept this condition.”

"Oh?” Soren eyed the handsome young man with a smirk on his face. “Are you sure you can do this?”

Truth be told, he was only making things difficult for Ethan and wanted to see how he would react to his challenge.

However, to his surprise, the teenage boy accepted his demand without batting an eye.

"I am sure,” Ethan replied.

Soren glanced at his wife, and the latter nodded her head.

"Very well, how about we do it like this,” Soren crossed his arms over his chest. “Five years. Within five years, you must become a Marquess. If you can’t do that, then this deal is off, and Chloe will be free to look for another man to marry. How does that sound?”

"I agree to this condition, Uncle,” Ethan replied in a heartbeat. “But if I become a Marquee before the deadline, you will give us your blessing.”

"Sure. Then we have a deal.”

"Yes. We have a deal.”

Ethan waved his hand and all the treasures that were lying on the floor all flew towards the ring in his hands as if they were being sucked by it like a vacuum cleaner.

After the tension in the room disappeared, Soren and Jessica asked their daughter to come to their room so that they could have a private discussion.

Chloe agreed and followed her parents, leaving Ethan, Agnes, and Benjamin in the living room.

When she was certain that their guests were out of earshot, Agnes walked towards Ethan with a big smile on her face.

"Ethan, I didn’t know that you were this capable,” Agnes chuckled. “Did you see that look on Soren’s face? His mouth was opened so wide that you could place an egg inside of it. Very hilarious!”

Benjamin, on the other hand, had other thoughts on his mind.

"Ethan, did you really not steal any of those treasures?” Benjamin inquired. “Please, be honest with me.”

Ethan’s grandfather was an upright person. Although he trusted that his grandson wouldn’t do something against the law, he still wanted to confirm his doubts.

"Don’t worry, Grandpa,” Ethan answered. “I didn’t steal anything.”

Benjamin nodded and patted his grandson’s shoulder.

"Ethan, make sure to not flaunt your wealth anywhere else,” Benjamin advised. “There are people that can easily be influenced by money, and if they know that you are in possession of such wealth, they will not hesitate to target you.”

"Understood, Grandpa.” Ethan smiled. “I will keep this in mind.”

After chatting for a little bit more, Ethan went to the third floor of the house to talk to Luna and Emma.

He told them what had happened, which made the angelic beauty sigh in relief.

"It’s good that you were able to resolve things peacefully,” Luna said with a smile.

"Yes.” Ethan agreed. “Just thinking that I will need to do the same with your family is already making me feel anxious. Your parents will not burn me to cinders with their magic if I ask for your hand in marriage, right?”

Luna averted her gaze because she couldn’t make this promise.

Her father was a Baron, and he had two wives.

Luna had three brothers, but she was the only girl in the family.

Because of this, her father and brothers were overprotective of her, scaring all, and every suitor, who set their sights on her.

She had a feeling that the moment Ethan visited their Barony, they’d already be wary of him.

And once he asked her parents for her hand in marriage, everyone would definitely attack Ethan in a heartbeat, and possibly beat him up until he was half dead.

Seeing Luna’s reaction, Ethan could only smile. He pulled the angelic beauty in his arms and patted her head.

"Don’t worry, I’ll do my best to convince them,” Ethan said before kissing Luna’s forehead.

"I’m just afraid that they will think that you are moving too fast,” Luna replied as she closed her eyes, enjoying Ethan’s embrace.

"Well, you’re right,” Ethan admitted. “I am indeed rushing things.”

"Can I know the reason?”

"It’s because I don’t want to regret the decisions that I didn’t make. No one knows what the future holds, and I don’t want to lie to myself. Since that is the case, I will get your parents’ approval as soon as possible, so that when we graduate from the academy, we can all get married and live together.”

Luna smiled and asked a question wistfully. “Will we live happily ever after?”

"Do you wish to have a fairy tale ending?” Ethan asked as he lightly patted Luna’s head.

"Yes. I do.”

"Then let’s work hard to achieve that ending. Are you with me?”

"Yes.”

Ethan and Luna shared a sweet kiss with each other.

The two had completely forgotten that Emma was in the same room as them.

Emma sighed in her heart as she looked at this scene in front of her. She was quite envious of Luna, but she wasn’t jealous.

She knew that as long as she stayed by Ethan’s side, the handsome young man would also treat her nicely.

Until that day arrived, she would continue to serve him faithfully and walk by his side as he journeyed into the unknown.
