Chapter 588 Little Troublemaker, What Have You Been Up To, Huh?

Conall, who was also with his father, looked at Enzo with a frown. In his eyes, the Old Catkin was well… just an old Catkin with no redeeming features.

But since his father called the old Catkin strong, Conall started to pay more attention to him.

‘Maybe he’s one of those Masters who trains in solitude,’ Conall thought. ‘Now that I’m paying extra attention to him, I can’t really sense anything out of place. So why is father acting like this?’

Conall had complete trust in his father, so he was curious about how Seff noticed the Catkin\'s strength.

“You must be the current Beast King of Southshire,” Enzo eased his stance and lowered his broom. “You’re Seff, right?”

“And how did you know that?” Seff arched an eyebrow.

“Ethan gave me your description.” Enzo shrugged. “But I didn’t expect that a descendant of the Blood Seeker Bloodline would still be alive. How peculiar. Aside from the Bloodseeker, you have two more Bloodlines. Now I understand why you are Shire Continent\'s Beast King in this generation.”

Seff narrowed his eyes because he didn’t expect that the Old Catkin would be able to tell exactly how many Bloodline Inheritances he had.

“What is your relationship with Ethan?” Seff inquired out of curiosity.

“Well, since your daughter is bound to become the Young Master\'s wife one day, I guess I can tell you my relationship with him,” Enzo said with a smile. “I’m one of his Family’s retainers.”

“Are you talking about the Gremory Family?”

“No. I’m talking about a different family.”

“And their surname is?”

“I can’t tell you what it is.”

Seff frowned, but since this wasn’t really his business, he decided not to pry for now.

“Let’s talk again later, Old Man,” Seff stated. “Or you might want to give me your name?”

“Enzo,” Enzo said with a polite bow to his Young Master’s future father-in-law. “Just call me Enzo.”

Seff nodded before walking toward Brynhildr’s Tower.

Enzo didn’t follow behind and simply watched the Beast King until he disappeared from sight.

“The Young Master sure found himself a scary Father-in-law,” Enzo muttered. “But it’s not a bad thing.”

The Old Catkin smirked. If Ethan and Lily really did get married, then his Young Master would have the backing of one of the most powerful beings in the Shire Continent.

‘This is going to be fun,’ Enzo mused as he entered the sealed gate of the tower.

Upon entering the gate, Enzo found himself in what seemed to be a different world.

A grand palace could be seen in the distance, which was also where the rulers of the different kingdoms would be staying during their time in the academy.

This wasn’t the first time that Enzo had seen the palace. Just a day ago, Professor Rinehart took him there to inform him of what he wanted from him.

Due to the sheer amount of people coming to the academy, they needed someone to keep watch on possible troublemakers who might target Ethan during the meeting.

For now, everyone still needed to talk about how they would proceed with the threat of the Fomorians.

But that didn’t change the fact that there were still voices that weren’t happy about letting Ethan off the hook after acquiring Queen Celestia’s Legacy.

Professor Rinehart believed that some of the people, who had accompanied their Kings and Queens, would want to put a leash on Ethan, making sure that he didn’t turn his wand in their direction.

If Enzo could have his way, he would stab these people in the back and get it over with. But since he had to play nice, he would just endure for now and try to see who among them would be the so-called troublemakers.

Inside the Palace in Brynhildr’s Tower…

“Father, why didn’t we go to see Lyall first?” Conall inquired. “I’m very worried about her.”

“We can see her later,” Seff replied. “Either that, or she will come to see us first.”

“I just hope she didn’t cause trouble while she’s here.” Conall sighed. “I still think that it’s a bad idea to let her come alone.”

“You really think so?” Seff asked without turning to look at his son. “You have always been with Lyall, so you have never given her some time to be on her own. While there\'s a risk that she would cause trouble, I believe that letting her come to this academy by herself will benefit her growth.”

“Benefit? How?”

“It’s because your sister has been spoiled silly by me and your mothers. Even you dote on her, so she’s never bothered to question whether the things she’s done were right or wrong. Since we\'ve always been beside her to clean up her mess, she never hesitates to do things that others deem reckless.”

As they walked the hallway, they came across a spacious room with four different paths to choose from.

The Symbol of the Wolf.

The Symbol of a Tree.

The Symbol of a Hammer and Pickaxe.

And lastly, the Symbol of a Sword and Shield.

Seff glanced at the different insignia before walking toward the path under the Symbol of the Wolf.

This was the path that would lead to his accommodation, which belonged to the Beastkin Race.

No other race was allowed to enter the path that wasn\'t designated to them, making this a very secure place to stay.

“I still don’t understand, Father,” Conall said. “What exactly did you want Lyall to learn here in the academy?”

“I don\'t know if she learned anything,” Seff replied. “But if she did, I will have to change my opinion of Ethan.”

In the end, Conall could only sigh and follow behind his Father. Just as they were about to reach another gate that had the insignia of a wolf, they heard the sound of someone running behind them… and that someone was running very fast.

“Father!” Lyall called out, looking very happy to reunite with her family.

This time, Seff turned around and smiled.

Lyall didn’t hesitate to jump toward her father, knowing that he would catch her without fail.

And just as she expected, Seff perfectly caught her, making her giggle.

“Little troublemaker, what have you been up to, huh?” Conall asked.

But he didn’t fail to notice the new clothes that his sister was wearing. He was so used to seeing Lyall wear hand-me-downs from their family that seeing her wear something fashionable for a change made him arch an eyebrow.

“For your information, I didn’t cause any trouble,” Lyall replied. “Well, I almost did, but since I didn’t, that means that I didn’t cause trouble for anyone.”

Seff put his daughter down and ruffled her hair with his hand. No matter how old his sons and daughters became, in his eyes, they were still the kids who would cling to him and ask him to give them a piggy back ride.

“Let’s talk inside,” Seff said as he pressed his hand against the gate. “I want to know how you spent your days in the academy, Lyall.”

Lyall nodded and followed behind her father as they walked toward the accommodations that were prepared just for them.
