Chapter 435 You Only Have One Chance, Boy, So Make It Count
?Two days had passed since Ethan finished Fortis Dud’s trial.
That was how long it took him to regain his strength after being sucked dry by the Golden Egg, which had been given to him by the Founder of Brynhildr Academy.
Right now, the egg was stored securely inside Morgan’s Ring, allowing Ethan to take a breather, or so he thought.
As soon as their afternoon classes ended, Ethan saw Lily’s sister, Lyall, waiting for them in the hallway.
The moment she saw Ethan, the young lady with long red hair and green eyes, walked toward him and gave him a hug, catching Lilian and Lily by surprise.
Ethan didn’t push her away because Lily had told him that among her brothers and sisters in the family, Conall and Lyall were the closest to her.
For this reason, the young man endured the hug of the teenage girl, who was holding herself back from flirting with him in public.
“Okay, stop right there.” Lily pried her sister away from Ethan after seeing Lyall’s hand sneakily move downward, likely with the intention of squeezing the young man’s backside.
Lily knew her sister well enough, and so she decided to intervene before something ridiculous happened.
“Awwww, Lily is such a killjoy.” Lyall pouted before saying something that almost made her sister cover her face in embarrassment. “And I was so close to giving that nice-looking bum a good squeeze. Kuh! Next time, I will not fail.”
Lily no longer took any chances and dragged her sister away.
She didn’t want to make any more scenes in the hallway, especially when all of her classmates were now looking at her sister in amusement.
If they only knew that, aside from her family and people whom she found interesting, Lyall would not hesitate to stab someone in the eyes for making fun of her.
“Is that Lily’s sister?” Lilian asked.
“Yes,” Ethan replied. “She’s an interesting person, right?”
“Well, I guess you can say that.” Lilian smiled faintly because she clearly saw Lyall’s attempt to touch Ethan’s backside.
Fortunately, Lily intervened, and her lover’s dignity was preserved.
Even so, an idea popped up inside her head, which she planned to do tonight when she slept with Ethan inside his room.
“We better check up on Lily and see if she is alright,” Ethan said. “If Lyall is here, her brother will not be far behind.”
Lily had already informed him beforehand that her family was going to visit the academy in order to talk to him.
Among them was her birth mother, Leah, who wanted to see if her daughter made a mistake in choosing her life partner.
She had seen what Ethan looked like, so she didn’t have any complaints about his good looks.
What she was concerned about was whether he was really a Dud or not because she wanted Lily to find a powerful Wizard who would strengthen the power of her witch bloodline.
A few minutes later, Ethan and Lilian found Lily and Lyall talking in hushed voices in a corner of the Library.
“Mother Leah didn’t want to make a scene, so she decided to wait for your classes to end,” Lyall explained. “However, the Headmaster was informed of her arrival, so he invited her to his office. Brother accompanied her, and I stayed behind to wait for your classes to end.
“That way, I could inform you about our arrival and also ask you to bring Ethan to the Headmaster’s office so that Mother Leah can see him.”
“Understood,” Lily replied as he glanced at Ethan, who was headed in their direction. “I’ll bring him with me to the Headmaster’s Office.”
“Who is that girl beside him?” Lyall asked with a frown. “Did the number of his lovers increase again while we were away?”
“Yes.”
“Tsk! Someone beat me to it!”
When Ethan finally arrived in front of the two ladies, she introduced Lilian to Lyall, making the older girl pout.
“Hey, why don’t you make me your lover as well?” Lyall asked. “I thought about asking you out when Lily brought you to our home during your Winter Break. I was really disappointed when you didn’t come with her.
“Also, you should thank me because I am one of the few who tried to convince Father not to personally make a trip to see you. Had he really come here, things would get really bad and really fast. We barely avoided that disaster thanks to me!”
“Thank you,” Ethan replied with a smile.
“Don’t just thank me! Make me your lover too!”
“Alright, let’s go to the Headmaster’s Office first to see Mother,” Lily interjected. “Come with me, Ethan. The sooner we deal with this, the faster they can go home. Lilian, I’m sorry, but this is a family matter. I cannot bring you with us.”
Lilian nodded in understanding. “I’ll wait for you in the Dud Manor.”
“Okay,” Ethan replied.
“H-Hey! We just arrived, you know?!” Lyall said anxiously. “Don’t be too quick to send us away!”
Ethan couldn’t help but smile seeing this side of Lyall.
When he first saw her, he thought of her as a calm and collected person. But now, that beautiful first impression had been completely shattered, making the young man sigh in his heart.
Although it didn’t show on his face, Ethan was actually looking forward to meeting Lily’s mother, Leah.
Since he was serious about making Lily his wife, he needed to get her parent’s approval first.
The young lady had told him in the past that her mother was very strict. But despite that, she was a very loving mother.
However, she also hoped that their family would have a Wizard Branch, and Lily was her hope of making that happen.
Because of this, she placed great importance on her daughter’s life partner.
Lily was certain that if her mother wasn’t impressed by Ethan’s abilities, she would personally bring her back to Southshire so that the two of them wouldn’t be able to see each other again.
Of course, she didn’t bother telling Ethan about this because she was confident that her Mother would understand why she chose him as her lover.
A few minutes later, they finally arrived at the Headmaster’s Office.
The moment they entered the room, Ethan came face to face with a beautiful lady who had a gaze that was as sharp as a sword.
“So, you’re the one that Lily chose as her life partner.” Leah looked at Ethan from head to foot. “Just like Conall and Lyall said, you are indeed a Dud. I don’t feel any magic power emanating from your body.”
Ethan couldn’t help but groan internally because the reason why he didn’t have any magic power at the moment was due to the fact that the Golden Egg had sucked it all up.
Even so, he couldn’t back down now and simply smiled at his future mother-in-law, who was only a step away from dragging her daughter back to Southshire.
Although she had no problems with Ethan’s good looks, appearance alone wasn’t enough.
This was especially true for Wizarding Families, who were actively looking for talented individuals to marry into their families.
“Tell me one good reason why I should allow my daughter to stay your lover,” Leah said in a cold tone. “You only have one chance, boy, so make it count.”
Professor Rinehart, who was a good friend of Lily’s mother, only smiled at the side and waited for Ethan’s reply.
He already told Leah all of Ethan’s achievements and managed to give her a better impression of the boy.
However, the Headmaster also knew that the one who needed to convince Leah was not him but the young man, who had given him a headache two days ago.
