Chapter 294 The Good News And The Bad News

Just a little past noon inside Luna’s Room in the Dud Manor…

Chloe sighed as she looked at her best friend, who had a guilty expression on her face.

Both of them were seated on the bed, with Selene resting on Luna’s lap.

“Don’t worry, I understand,” Chloe said as she held Luna’s hand.

“You’re not mad?” Luna timidly asked.

Chloe shook her head. “Why should I be mad? Both of us knew that it would happen sooner or later. Also, are you some sort of Wendigo magnet? It seems that Luna Pudding is their most favorite dish.”

Luna couldn’t help but smile bitterly when she heard her best friend’s comment.

The angelic beauty didn’t expect the nightmare that she had in the past would have a repeat. Fortunately, she had a Prince who came on time to save her, preventing the worst-case scenario from happening.

That was also the impetus that made Luna throw caution to the wind and ask the handsome young man to embrace her.

She no longer wanted to have any regrets in life because no one knew what would happen in the future.

Chloe was surprised about the news, but she didn’t feel bad about it. Luna was her best friend, and she wanted nothing more than her happiness.

She believed that she had a special place in Ethan’s heart, so there was no need to compete with her “sisters” who loved the same person she did.

Luna finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart after seeing that Chloe didn’t hold a grudge against her for what happened inside the Legacy Domain.

This was something that had been weighing on her heart, and now that all that pressure had disappeared, she could breathe easier.

“You know, I’m really curious,” Chloe said as she patted Selene’s body.

Luna had asked her to let Chloe pat her, to make her best friend feel better.

Selene reluctantly agreed because she could tell that her Master had a very close relationship with the young lady with long light-brown hair.

“About what?” Luna inquired.

“What Lily wanted to talk to Ethan in private about,” Chloe replied. “Aren’t you curious?”

Luna nodded. “I’m also curious. I saw Ethan leaving the Manor an hour ago, and he was dressed in casual clothes. He might be going somewhere outside the academy.”

“That confirms it.” Chloe looked down on the Carbuncle that was now resting on her lap. “It seems that Lily wanted to go out on a date with him.”

“A date?” Luna pondered. “Now that you mention it, the clothes he wore did look better compared to the ones he usually wears.”

Chloe smiled as she continued to pat Selene’s body.

‘Since Lily has asked him for a date, I guess I can ask for one as well,’ Chloe thought. ‘It would be nice if the two of us could spend some time together. I wonder what they’re doing right now?’

Inside an Inn in Limeburgh Town…

Lily clung to Ethan as the latter groaned with his arms wrapped around her soft, naked body.

The handsome young man didn’t expect that as soon as the two of them arrived in Limeburgh Town, Lily would drag him to the inn where they had stayed on their return trip to the academy.

Thinking that the matter she wanted to talk to him about in private was really important, he followed her without resisting.

However, as soon as the young lady closed the door behind her, she immediately summoned her wand and cast a soundproofing spell inside the room.

The next thing Ethan knew, all of his clothes were on the floor, and the young beauty was kissing him passionately on the lips, with her hands wandering all over his body.

An hour later, the two teenagers lay on the bed completely sated but still connected with each other.

“I thought we were going to talk?” Ethan asked before lightly slapping Lily’s backside, making his lover whose seductive body was lying on top of him gasp.

“We are,” Lily replied before lightly biting Ethan’s neck, leaving her mark on it as revenge. “But you seemed to have missed me so much, so I decided to calm you down a bit first.”

“Are you sure that it was me who needed to calm down?” Ethan inquired in an amused tone.

Lily didn’t answer and continued to nibble on Ethan’s neck, marking him as her man.

Ethan could tell that something might have happened to Lily when she returned to her family.

Perhaps, this was also why she asked him to go to Limeburgh Town with her, allowing them to talk in private.

“Did something happen, Lily?” Ethan asked as he lightly caressed her smooth back, encouraging her to talk to him. “Did your parents say anything?”

Lily, who had left several kiss marks on Ethan’s neck, finally pulled back and looked down at her lover with a smile.

“Something did happen,” Lily replied. “What do you want to hear first? The good or the bad news?”

“The bad news first,” Ethan answered.

“I don’t want to start with the bad news, so let’s start with the good news first!” Lily giggled.

Ethan didn’t know if he should laugh or cry after hearing the young beauty’s words.

Since she already decided to tell him the good news first, was there any need for her to make him pick?

“Well, the good news is that my mother acknowledges you as my future husband,” Lily stated.

“And the bad news?” Ethan asked.

“My father wants to skin you alive since he wanted me to find a powerful Wizard as a partner that would help our lineage start producing more talented Wizards and Witches,” Lily replied in a serious tone. “After learning that you are a Dud, he wanted nothing more than to feed you to the dogs. So it would best if you don’t leave the academy for the time being.”

Ethan frowned. “Your father is treating you like a breeding horse. Does he not care about you?”

“He cares about me a lot,” Lily answered. “That is why he is very angry. He wanted a powerful Wizard who could protect me and not the other way around. My father thinks that you used underhanded means to seduce me so that I would protect you for the rest of your life.”

The handsome young man made an exaggerated sigh before kissing his lover’s forehead.

“Your father saw through my plan of becoming the perfect househusband,” Ethan replied. “The only thing I am good at is being a stud horse and looking after the kids, while my lovers work to bring food on the table.”

Lily giggled after hearing Ethan’s sarcastic reply. But despite her laughter, the anxiety in her eyes and words was very hard to hide.

“One of my older brothers is going to visit the academy tomorrow,” Lily stated. “I’m sure that the first thing he will do is to come and find you. How about you visit your grandparents for a day? That way, you and him will not meet each other.”

Ethan shook his head after hearing Lily’s proposal.

“Running away won’t solve the problem,” Ethan replied. “Also, your older brother and your father will look down on me if I suddenly disappear. They would think of me as a coward, and their belief that I am not worthy of you will only grow.”

“Ethan, I know that you are strong.” Lily cupped the young man’s face and looked at him with an affectionate gaze. “But my brother is very used to killing. In fact, almost everyone in our family is—including me. I don’t want you to get hurt by fighting him.”

The young man smiled as he rested his hand on the back of Lily’s head and pulled her close to him.

“Don’t worry,” Ethan whispered in her ear. “I will show him that I am worthy of you. Believe me.”

He then patted her head and assured her that everything was going to be fine.

“But if you really fight with him, then the entire academy will know that we are lovers,” Lily said as she closed her eyes. “Are you ready to face the wrath of my Fan Club?”

Ethan chuckled after hearing Lily’s words. Although he wanted to keep things a secret for as long as possible, he also understood that it was only a matter of time before his lovers’ Fan Clubs got wind of their relationship.

“One step at a time, Lily,” Ethan replied before kissing her forehead. “Just like what we had done in the Lands of Alastor. We’ll just face the things that are in front of us and conquer them together.”

“Mmm.” Lily hummed. “You’re right. Let’s face our challenges one at a time.”

She then raised her head and gave Ethan a sweet, and lingering kiss on the lips.

A moment later, they once again embraced each other, as their passion was reignited by their desire to stay with each other forever.
