"You'll be going back to the academy after lunch?" Gilbert asked.
"Yes," Lilian replied. "We still have classes tomorrow."
"Make sure to focus on your studies. Tell that to your brother as well."
"I will, Grandfather."
Lilian then glanced at her mother, whose attention was focused on the pancake on her plate.
Isabel didn't say anything at all after she had greeted them good morning, which made the young lady wonder if her mother was still thinking about the words that Ethan had told them yesterday.
Little did Lilian know that her mother was not at all thinking about the discussion that they had yesterday.
Instead, she was thinking about what had happened inside her daughter's room, which made her unable to sleep that night.
"Mother, is everything alright?" Lilian asked out of concern.
"I'm fine," Isabel replied. "I just didn't get enough sleep last night because I was thinking about a lot of things."
"Oh..." Lilian had an apologetic look on her face because she thought that Ethan's words were still troubling her mother.
Ethan, on the other hand, ate while observing Gilbert and Isabel, trying to sense whether they had accepted his relationship with Lilian.
He had already noticed that his future mother-in-law would sneak glances at him from time to time, but she would always avert her gaze whenever he looked back at her.
'Looks like mother-in-law has a lot of things on her mind,' Sebastian said in a teasing tone. 'Maybe you shouldn't have been so rough last night.'
"The walls have eyes and ears,' Ethan's Other Half commented. 'Maybe someone heard your nighttime activities. But knowing you, I'm sure you did it on purpose.'
"That's right.' Sebastian nodded. 'Usually, you would cast a soundproofing spell to make sure that no one would be able to hear anything, but you didn't do that last night. Did you just forget, or did you do it on purpose?'
'Would the two of you believe me if I said that I just forgot about it?' Ethan asked. 'Nope.'
'We won't believe you.'
As they flew in the direction of the academy, the view of the City of Tarragon slowly became smaller, and Lilian felt the anxiety in her heart disappear.
Since her mother and grandfather had already approved of her relationship, it would only be a matter of time before her father and Ethan had a serious talk about their future plans
together.
As Ethan's Flying Ship soared toward the sky, the sound of countless ice crystals shattering reverberated inside the Coliseum of Brynhildr Academy.
Alice had a solemn look on her face as she gazed at Nicole, who was holding an ice sword in
her hand.
"You..." Alice frowned. "What happened to you?"
"Nothing," Nicole replied in an icy tone. "Come. Show me what you've got."
The frown on Alice's face deepened as she once again summoned two Ice Swords in her hands.
Scattered around her were countless ice shards from the Ice Swords that Nicole had shattered with a single swing of her own sword.
Right now, she felt numb all over as she stared at the opponent in front of her.
"I'm not going to hold back, are you sure about this?" Alice asked as she summoned another
ice sword in her hand.
Several more ice swords appeared around her, dancing like satellites that were ready to strike
anyone who came within their striking range.
"Do your worst," Nicole replied indifferently.
Taking a step forward, Alice charged with a determined look on her face.
Soon, the sound of ice breaking once again spread inside the Coliseum, as the two Ice
Princesses fought with the power of Ice, wanting to know who among the two of them would
remain standing at the very end.
