Ancestral Lineage-Chapter 113: The Chosen Subordinates.

Ethan stood in front of the second years with an expressionless face. The atmosphere was tense with what was going to be revelation to them. Those who’s battles had ended in draws were all given another chance to fight and settle their positions with either victory or loss. As this went on, Ethan with the help of the system and his strong mind recorded everything and came up with the best results from simulations he run in mind.

"You all did well, despite some of you acting lazy during the training sessions. Whether you won or lost you duel isn’t the end for you. It is just a formality and the easiest way I chose to separate the strong from the weak, no offense there.

The training isn’t over yet. After all, we have only this week and the next week to prepare for the outing. The outing will start on Wednesday. But that isn’t our focus for now. Stay updated with novelbuddy

I will start by mentioning names. If you hear your name, step forward. I did some changes and the subordinates I will be choosing will be twelve instead of the initial ten. After the names, I will tell you what is next. So, let’s start.

Godfred Tell, Timothy Opera, Lisa Tennyson, Reginald Ignifax, Derrick Griswold, Grielle Benson, Tatiana Reloc, Trevor Barnes, Clara Verna, Andriel Guilde, Sixtie Zaladrac, Andrew Peters, Rexford Hans, Rayna Brock, Jarrod Vinyl, Zara King, Elias Tomson, Naomi Rentul, Damian Williams and Perry Jackson.

These twenty people are the selected MVPs of the class. They will have another challenge where the main twelve would be selected and the others will become their direct subordinates. Also, Kira King would be an unofficial subordinate of mine.

Apart from this, after their test tomorrow, new sets of training will begin. This one will focus on wits and your spirit beasts, how you fight with your spirit beasts.

Any questions?" Ethan finished to a silent arena. The mentioned people stood behind him with happy but determined faces. Because of Ethan, their futures in the academy had changed for the better. Whether they failed the next test or passed, they will still be potential candidates for Tyrants positions and more.

The reason for Andriel being part though was a little hilarious. Just like Trevor, no one wanted to fight her. They saw her in the video as the "Moon Witch" Ethan had to stop. They were even wondering why she was in school until a notice was sent to the academy’s news forum, stating the real identity of Andriel. This had caused a lot of storms, especially to Leon who had been strangely missing from the second-year area. After all, he always made sure to "checkup" on them every day after their training sessions and make sure to "congratulate" them on their efforts.

"Ethan?" Jerry, whom Ethan had ignored all this while spoke up in a nervous tone. He was now so afraid of Ethan that just mentioning his name was taken up all his strength. Ethan unknowingly had placed a fear mark on the guy. To Jerry, Ethan wasn’t some tall, handsome vampire but a monster. A monster so robust that he couldn’t see its features just its glowing crimson eyes filled with chilliness and dread. It was a miracle how was still after all this.

"Yes Jerry." Ethan responded with his usual expressionless expression and somewhat cold tone he had developed in these few weeks.

"I wanted to ask what the test for your main subordinates among the twenty chosen would be and if we would be able to witness it? And if possible, can I talk to you later in private?" Jerry asked with his clothes soaked in sweat.

’What the hell is wrong with him?’ Ethan wondered but he responded.

"I’m still choosing from the ones I have in mind. I want something efficient, but you will know by the close of the day and you are all permitted to witness it. The location and the test will be sent to the class group, so no need to worry. As for your private meeting, we can talk after school or possibly tomorrow after the test." Ethan answered him.

"Okay. Thanks."

"Anymore?" Ethan asked with which they all responded with shakes of their heads.

"Good. Then see you tomorrow. You are free to do what you want." Ethan said with a smile, the second genuine smile he had shown since this all started.

...

"I will go and meet Carmen now. See you at home." Ethan said to his friends while adjusting his glasses.

"Okay honey. See you later." Clara said while giving him a kiss. The rest of his girls followed, giving him kisses of farewell.

...

In a dimly lit office, sounds of kissing and quiet moans echoed in the four corners of the room. The sound came from behind a large desk, on an office chair where two people sat, in their own world.

Carmen sat on Ethan’s laps in only underwear, her cat ears and tail on display. Ethan was only in his trousers, as he played with her big breasts and ravaged her lips with no sign of stopping.

Her skin was full of hickeys as she purred in his embrace. If it wasn’t for her family’s tradition, she would have taken the initiative to fuck Ethan. Ethan was also in his actual form as he cuddled her.

"I love you, Ethan."

"I love you more, Carmen." As they, for the hundredth time declared their love for each other, a symbol appeared on Carmen’s abdomen, under her navel but it was dim and paler than the one the other girls had.

"I want to ask for a favor." Ethan said while kissing her lips. Carmen was now lying on him with her head on his chest. Because of Ethan’s height and stature, she fitted perfectly.

"Anything for you, my love. After all, the academy is essentially yours." Carmen replied with a slight blush.

"I’m done with my selection of the strongest people in my class. I’m yet to choose my subordinates."

"Okay. So, what do you need?"

"I have a test in mind, but I will need an open space to do it. Is it possible for me to get a forest like setting to conduct it?"

"Mm... that is possible. There is a huge open meadow behind my office. You can use that." Carmen said with a contemplative expression.

"Won’t it affect your work? With all the noise and stuff."

"No. It is a bit further away from my office and I can set up a barrier for you, so it’s okay."

"What of what your assistants would say? Won’t it..."

"Honey."

"Mm?"

"Just leave it to me, okay?"

"Of course, my one and only, Car Car."

"D-don’t call me that!"

"But you love it."

"No doubt!"

"You are beyond saving."

"Hehe."

One could only imagine the shock people would go through, seeing such a scene. The fearsome Carmen Steil, heiress of the Steil family, a Master level mage and warrior, acting like a cute girl in love, which she was.

I can’t imagine the kind of shock the world would go through when the truth of Ethan’s background and his marriage to his girls come out. It will be...

The sound of kissing and moans continued in the room, as they reentered their love-world, oblivious to the rising tension in the academy due to the upcoming outing.

In The House Trevor Bought...

"Hi there guys!" A dark-skinned elf girl exclaimed with a hint of nervousness and anticipation as she sat in front of a group of girls and a white-haired guy. A violet-haired guy sat beside her with an embarrassed expression.

The elf had short white hair with the left side shaved and a serpent tattoo drawn on that shaved part. Her eyes were pink, almost red. She was also tall, almost as tall as Lamair with a slightly muscular build and thick thighs which were rather pronounced in the uniform she wore. She still wore her academy uniform after all.

Lamair had been single for long. He wasn’t officially single but because of his family tradition, he couldn’t settle with one lady. So, he kind of dated, in the next few months, they break up and then he moves on. This was nearly destroying his reputation, but he couldn’t help it. If he gets serious with one woman, then he would be proclaimed the next lord of the Griswolds and that meant, no freedom for him. But with Ethan’s real identity now out, that thing was no longer valid. At least, when Ethan ascended the throne. His word would be law.

Ethan couldn’t change this rule but as a subordinate of Ethan, a rather direct subordinate, that rule was invalid. You could say among Ethan’s subordinates; he understood their roles almost perfectly.

He was a puppeteer and puppeteers dealt with puppets. In this case, they were living puppets for Ethan with their freedom intact but when Ethan needed them, they wouldn’t be able to refuse.

Besides, he also had plans to make Ethan turn him into a vampire and as a vampire turned by the origin of all vampires, how could he disobey his maker?

So, he made to use the opportunity given him.

Lusamine Seikiro, was the only girl Lamair couldn’t get over. Their relationship was a bit strained now, but she was the one he’d had a longer relationship with. Four months.

So, he decided...

"Hi there Miss..." Trevor took on the responsibility of questioning her. Indirectly, they’d already chosen their positions, and Trevor was next after Ethan. So now, he was the man of house.

"Lusamine Seikiro." Lusamine answered with a nervous smile.

"Feel free sister-in-law. I didn’t know Lil Winkie was into strong women. No offense. "

"""Trevor!"""

"Anyways, what is your relationship with my brother here? I thought he was more of a playboy."

"Trevor, come on..." Lamair was on the verge of tears now. Trevor was actively bitching him, and he couldn’t do anything.

"You are not allowed to talk, Lamair Griswold." Trevor said with a cold expression, causing Lamair to break out in cold sweat. Trevor was too serious with this!

"We are currently in our fourth month of dating, and he wanted us to meet his family here. I didn’t know it would be the second strongest 2nd year and his girls..." Lusamine said with a smile.

"Point of correction. They are all my sisters-in-law except my sweet sweet Emily." Trevor said with a sharp glint in his eyes.

"""Very true!""" The girls answered.

"S-sorry! I didn’t know. So, where’s the main man?" Lusamine asked.

"On a date with one of his women." Trevor said with a deadpan face.

"I’m so jealous now!" Andriel said with a dark face.

"He won’t sleep tonight." Harley chimed in with a determined expression.

"Mm!" Lisa nodded.

Clara just sat there with a cold expression.

Now Lusamine was sweating a waterfall. This family was too intense!

"Ignore my sisters, Lusa. So, why are you exactly here?" Trevor said with a tired sigh.

"Lamair said to meet you guys today, so I just followed. I love him so much, so I didn’t question. " Lusamine answered with a loving smile.

"I see. This means you know nothing about what is going on with that bastard over there."

"Hey!"

"Shut the fuck up!"

"Sorry about Lusa. You see Lamair’s situation is a bit delicate and complicated." Trevor started.

"Okay..."

"He will become the next heir of the Griswolds if he should take you as his woman permanently and officially. "

"That is good."

"Very but there’s a catch to it."

"..."

"He will lose his freedom to his family. "

"What?!" Lusamine stood up in shock.

"Babe! Why didn’t you tell me this?!"

"Baby please calm down. Trevor..." Lamair hurriedly consoled Lusamine.

"Lusa please calm down a bit. This is the reality or at least for now but there are some changes." Trevor continued, his expression turning serious and official as he went to into full formal mode, while releasing a bit of his aura. Lusamine was now shivering in fear, but Lamair held her firmly.

"What I’m going to tell you shouldn’t be told to anyone else. It is highly confidential and if anyone else apart from those in here should hear about it, then I wouldn’t hesitate to end you, and the person involved. I would rather incure Lamair’s ire than let this get out unless the time is right. Am I clear on this, Miss Lusamine Seikiro?" Trevor said while his eyes glowed a deep crimson. Everyone around him released suffocating auras causing the girl to almost collapse. She could understand their seriousness now. She looked towards Lamair who nodded towards her with a determined expression.

"I understand. I swear on my great ancestor, Alfriel Seikiro to not say a word about this to anyone. Not even my own parents. " Lusamine said with an equally serious expression.

"We will take your word for now."

Trevor went on to tell her Ethan’s real identity and a bit of his power and their subordinate identities to Ethan and his current women who he was unofficially engaged with.

This all was too much for the muscular dark elf that she fainted from memory overload and shock.

She woke up in the next five minutes.

"So, you mean all this is real? Ethan is like a Prince. No, he’s essentially the prince of Anbord. And his women are all of powerful backgrounds and and..." she was hyperventilating now.

"Calm down. Calm down babe." Lamair patted her on the back with a tired expression.

"It’s all true. So, are you ready for this or not? If you are, we will welcome you to the family with open arms and ask Ethan to take you in, if not, Clara can erase your memories of all this and..."

"I do! I accept it! I will do anything for Lamair and my family. This is more than a blessing unto me. The sacrifices are worth it." Lusamine said with a determined expression.

"Mm. Welcome to the family then, big sis Lusa!" A voice sounded from the doorway. Everyone turned to the source and found Ethan standing there with a small smile on his face.

"How long have you been here?" Trevor asked as his aura flared. Lamair hurriedly protected his fiancée to be with his own aura although it didn’t do much.

"Ever since this started. I must say, you did well. This suits you more than the that bitchy character of yours." Ethan responded, his own aura flaring to meet his.

"You fucking bastard!"

"Disrespectful brat!"

"I will fucking kill you!"

"Wait till mom hears this, idiot!"

"Zombie!"

"I took a video."

"You wouldn’t dare!"

"It’s 95% sent already."

"Racist!"

...

Anyway, Ethan got a new subordinate that day after winning in a verbal fight against Trevor.
