Chapter 916: The Best Method On How To Get What You Want

Lilian, whose face couldn't get any redder, was forced to listen to her mother and lover talk about her.

She was currently seated between her mother and her grandfather, while Ethan sat across from her.

After a bit of formality, her mother started to ask some questions, which the young man happily answered.

She should have been happy to see the two people whom she loved getting along well. But it was hard for her to do so when their mode of getting along was Ethan answering the kind of questions her mother was asking at the moment.

"First of all, congratulations for managing to tame my spoiled little princess," Isabel said with a smile. "How did you do it? What kind of milk did you make her drink?"

"The best kind," Ethan replied with a smile of his own.

"According to my investigation, you seduced her. Is that right?" Isabel inquired.

"I did," Ethan answered.

"What kind of seduction did you use?"

"I took off my shirt."

"Hoh-"

Lilian had asked Samantha what had happened during Ethan's meeting with her parents. The young lady told her that it was one of the most embarrassing moments of her life. And right now, Lilian was feeling that same embarrassment firsthand.

Just as she thought that things couldn't get any worse, her mother's next question almost made her choke on the tea that she was drinking to calm herself.

"What body part of my daughter do you like the most?" Isabel asked in a mischievous tone. freewebnσvel.cøm

"Her lips," Ethan replied. "They're so soft that I want to kiss her every day."

"The second body part you like the most?"

"Her neck. I had to fight the temptation to leave my mark on it so that everyone in the academy would know that she belongs to me."

"The third part you like the most?"

"Her collarbone. I can only leave my mark there because it cannot be seen by anyone."

"Your fourth most favorite?"

"Her bre..."

"Mother!"

Lilian was no longer able to take it and rose up from her seat to use both of her hands to cover Ethan's mouth to prevent him from answering.

Seeing her reaction, Isabel couldn't stop herself from giggling because she was waiting for her obedient daughter to reach her limit.

Lilian then moved to sit beside Ethan to make sure that he wouldn't say any more

embarrassing things about her.

As if understanding each other, Ethan and Isabel gave each other a knowing glance and smiled at the same time.

Seeing their reaction, the young lady finally came to a realization.

"Y-You two are bullying me!" Lilian, who was a strong-willed woman, finally understood that she was being teased by her mother and lover.

Ethan chuckled and hugged the young lady to pacify her, which made Lilian bury her head in Ethan's chest.

"I can tell that the two of you are very much in love with each other," Isabel sighed. "I just didn't expect that my proud daughter would fall in love this soon. Well, I don't blame her. You are quite the catch Mr. Ethan Gremory... or should I refer to your other family name?"

"You can call me anything you like, Mother," Ethan replied. "I don't mind."

Isabel nodded. "You look and sound confident. Not bad."

A brief silence passed as Ethan helped Lilian drink more of the tea to help calm her down from her mother's teasing.

Truth be told, Ethan was simply trying to liven up the conversation to give Lilian's father enough time to appear if he were at home.

But since they had already been there for quite a time, it meant that the head of the family was out of town... or just didn't want to meet with him.

"I've been asking you questions since you arrived, but you don't seem to want to ask me questions," Isabel said. "Don't worry. I don't bite. You can ask me questions."

"Then, can I ask where my father-in-law is?" Ethan asked with a smile.

"You're already calling him father-in-law?" Isabel smirked. "You're quite bold."

"I don't have any intention of breaking up with Lilian. Since I plan to marry her in the future, calling her father my father-in-law is the least I can do."

"And what if your father-in-law doesn't agree to give Lilian's hand in marriage?"

Ethan didn't answer immediately. Instead, he looked at Lilian, who was looking back at him with a determined look on her face.

She had asked him this question before they left the academy, and he had given her the answer that she wanted to hear.

But right now, it seemed that Lilian's mother wanted to hear a different answer from him, so The decided to get straight to the point.

"All is fair in love and war," Ethan replied.

He made sure to give an edge to the word 'war,' which made Gilbert's expression become

solemn.

Isabel, on the other hand, didn't have any changes in her expression. However, the hand that was holding her teacup, shook ever so slightly.

"Young people these days are so bold." Isabel shook her head helplessly. "You speak such things as if you have experienced them yourself."

"I don't know about others, but I did experience it myself," Ethan commented before picking up the teacup and helping Lilian drink from it. "I've almost lost someone very important to me, and it was a very horrifying feeling. If I have to fight to keep those important to me close, then so be it. I'm not one to back down."

"Oh? And what will you do?" Isabel arched an eyebrow. "Are you going to drown the Shire Continent like Queen Celestia tried to do in the past?"

"If I'm pushed into a corner, I might snap," Ethan stated. "There's no telling what I might do

in that state. But I hope that it won't come to that. After all, having a peaceful relationship is

better, no?"

Isabel nodded. "Do you want me to pass a message to Lilian's father?"

"Yes, I want to pass a message to him," Ethan answered.

"And what kind of message do you want to tell him?"

"The one I'm marrying is your daughter, not you."

A giggle escaped the beautiful woman's lips because she could already imagine her husband's reaction after hearing Ethan's message.

"You shouldn't act arrogantly, especially if you don't know who you are dealing with, young man," Gilbert said.

"Well, my grandfather is the Demon Lord," Ethan commented. "And he's still alive. How can I

not be arrogant?"

Isabel and Gilbert almost choked on their saliva after hearing the young man's reply.

Clearly, this was a case of using your family's background to settle issues, which they found... surprisingly effective against them.

Ethan laughed internally because he was just returning what the two adults were trying to do

to him.

From the very start, he knew that Lilian's guardians had planned to use their background to

intimidate him.

However, they were intimidating the wrong person.

Just who was the Demon Lord?

Just who was the Raylight Family?

Could the two of them even compare?

Absolutely not!

While Isabel and Gilbert were still feeling bitter about the young man's way of hugging his biological family's thigh, Ethan then added one more piece of information that almost made them curse Lilian's father for not being here during this important occasion.

"I'm sure you already know this, but my first wife's father is the Beast King of Southshire," Ethan said. "He told me that if someone messes with me, I can just ask him for help, and he

will deal with it."

Isabel and Gilbert were very tempted to spit on the young man's face because he was being so

shameless.

Not only did he threaten them with the Demon Lord's name, but he also used the Beast King, who was practically Eastshire's neighbor.

Lilian, who understood the current situation, leaned on Ethan's chest and closed her eyes.

She had been taught the ways of politics since she was young, and sometimes, the best way to

get what you want is through intimidation or blackmail.

Ethan had employed both, so even though she felt a little bad about her family's current situation, she was also very happy because her man was willing to go that far so the two of

them could be together.

It was impossible for her to not feel moved by such an act, so she said nothing and allowed her lover to fight for her in her stead.
