Ethan Askary never thought he would see such a horrific sight.
His blood was boiling and the anger was starting to overwhelm him. At first, he only listened to explanations from his little sister, Penelope Askary, at Gerwyn's mansion. It wasn't that he didn't believe what his little sister had said. It's just, he still couldn't believe that his lovely little sister was being targeted by an evil dark Goddess, who wanted her suffering. Especially when the Goddess wants the divine power that is in Penelope's body and intends to make Penelope destroy the empire and kill her children.
Then, when Jellal was going to go watch Lysander's mansion because Penelope said that Isabella Lysander was suffering like Goddess Oizys said, Ethan decided to go with Jellal. He also brought Ren, Edmund's other shadow knight, who for a year has always accompanied him and protected him because Philleo Aaron is still on the loose and a fugitive.
