Chapter 205: Looks Like Someone Got Some Good Night’s Sleep Last Night
Faint sunlight entered the room through the windows, signaling the start of a new day.
Soft sleeping breaths permeated the room as Ethan lay on the bed, awake but not moving a muscle so that the two sleeping beauties beside him wouldn't awaken.
The handsome young man looked at Chloe's and Luna's faces with a gentle gaze, as he held them close to him.
When he opened his eyes and saw the two young ladies sleeping beside him, he thought that it was another one of his dreams, which he always had back in the Lands of Alastor.
Fortunately, his memory of what happened a day ago returned to him, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
This wasn't a dream.
He was finally back in Brynhildr Academy. The two girls, who held a special place in his heart, in his arms were real.
Because of this, he contented himself to look at their sleeping faces and thanked the heavens for allowing him to return to their side.
'Grandma used to tell me that I should go to the academy to bring home a rich lady from an aristocratic family,' Ethan thought. 'I wonder how she will react if I tell her that I plan to have five wives?'
Ethan could only think of two scenarios that would happen.
One would be his grandma welcoming him and his lovers with open arms.
And the second one was her welcoming him with a spiked club in her hands.
The handsome young man could only smile bitterly because he really didn't expect to end up in this scenario.
However, even if he were to turn back time, he would not change anything. He had already made his decision, and he would see it through until the end.
He was neither a womanizer nor a playboy, but he would be damned if he let other men take the two ladies in his arms, whom he cared for very much.
Half an hour later, the first one to stir awake was Luna. When she opened her eyes, she looked at Ethan in a daze for a few seconds. A moment later, she buried her face in his chest and went back to sleep.
Luna felt so comfortable being in Ethan's embrace, so she decided to sleep a bit more.
The handsome young man didn't mind because it was still indeed a bit early. It was also a weekend, so there were no classes, so they could stay together for a while longer.
Finally, an hour later, Chloe opened her eyes and met Ethan's gaze. She blinked once then twice before closing them again.
Similar to Luna, the young lady snuggled closer to him, which made him chuckle.
Unlike Luna, who was truly asleep, Chloe decided to "sleep" again and stay in Ethan's embrace for a few more minutes.
Whether it was real or not, Ethan didn't mind and allowed his cousin to do what she wanted.
Another hour passed before Luna opened her eyes, and this time she was now fully awake.
"Good morning, Luna." Ethan greeted the angelic beauty with a smile.
"Good morning, Ethan," Luna replied before shifting her attention to Chloe, who was clearly pretending to sleep.
Luna sighed and lightly shook the "sleeping" girl awake.
"Wake up Chloe, it's already morning," Luna said. "Let's have breakfast together in the Academy's Dining Hall. If you are late, you might not get the limited edition pudding that is only available today."
Chloe, who was reminded about the limited edition special pudding, reluctantly propped herself up from the bed. During Ethan's absence, she had used desserts to cope with her sadness and loneliness.
The only saving grace was that no matter how many sweet foods she ate, she didn't get fat.
Luna assumed that this was all due to Chloe's Fire Affinity, which allowed the young lady to burn the extra fat in her body to convert it into magical energy.
The two ladies left Ethan's room in order to shower in Luna's room before going to the Academy's Dining Hall with Ethan.
Ethan, on the other hand, simply took off the clothes from his body and summoned his Sea God's Trident.
With a wave of his trident, a thin layer of water coated his body before disappearing completely.
Truth be told, ever since ingested the Blood Essence of the Tide Bringer, he no longer needed to take baths.
His body would automatically remove all impurities from his skin, but Ethan still preferred to wash his body properly.
Having the Sea God's Trident around made things easier because creating a thin layer of water to wash his body wasn't that big of a deal.
Sebastian, who had merged with the Sea God's Trident, passively absorbed magic from his surroundings. Because of this, Ethan could use a bit of his power in times of emergency.
After cleaning himself up, he put on some casual clothes and brushed his long blue hair.
Lily often commented that she envied Ethan's hair because it was always silky and smooth even without using any shampoo, which was something that she didn't have back in the Lands of Alastor.
When he was done brushing his hair, he took out the red ribbon that Lily gave him. Just as he was about to tie his hair back, he remembered that he shouldn't do this, especially in the academy.
Lily's Fans Club would raise hell on earth if they saw their idol's ribbon tied up in Ethan's hair.
There were already rumors spreading in the academy about how they had become lovers during their stay in the past, which made her fans wish that they could tear Ethan's limbs off and feed them to the Forest Wolves in the Great Eagle Forest.
Ethan sighed as he returned the red ribbon inside his storage ring and took out a hair clip.
This Hair Clip was something that Lily had bought for him during their travels, and it had the design of a wolf's face.
The young man smiled as he used this hair clip to tie his hair up. Although he didn't mind wearing Lily's red ribbon, it was best to not provoke people, especially since he had just returned to the academy.
After making sure that he looked fine, he left the room and waited for the two ladies in the common area of the Dud Manor.
Henry and George, who were enjoying cups of hot chocolate, looked at Ethan with smiles on their faces.
"Looks like someone got some good sleep last night," George grinned. "Although you're not as good-looking as me, having two beauties in each arm is certainly a feat. I am proud of you."
Ethan only chuckled after hearing George's words and sat on the couch facing his two seniors.
"Ethan, I wasn't able to say this yesterday, but you've really changed," Henry said. "You feel more mature now."
"Thank you, Si— Henry." Ethan was about to call the Head Prefect Sir Henry again, but he managed to stop himself in time.
"Good." Henry nodded in approval. "Are you going to eat in the Dining Hall today?"
"Yes," Ethan replied. "Chloe and Luna seem to like the special limited edition pudding."
"Ah, that one," George scratched his head. "The girls of the academy go Gaga over them. Each Manor can only have twenty of them, but everyone wants one. Fortunately, we don't have that problem.
"We only have four girls here in the Manor, and they can eat two of them without any problem. Since we consider your cousin as one of us, we also reserve one pudding for her every weekend."
While the three of them were chatting about the latest things that were happening inside the academy, Chloe and Luna finally arrived in the Common Area.
The two of them were also wearing casual clothes, but just a glance was enough to tell the young men that both girls had dressed up a bit for the occasion.
After saying their goodbyes to the two senior boys who were giving Ethan the "you got this bro" thumbs up, the three teenagers left Dud Manor to head to the Dining Hall of the Academy.
Truth be told, Ethan missed eating the delicacies of the academy, so he was quite excited to have breakfast in the Dining Hall.
He never had the chance to eat any fancy foods back in the Lands of Alastor, and right now, his taste buds were craving the food that could only be enjoyed in their current timeline.
The handsome young man was not aware that his return to the academy would trigger a series of events that would force the Headmaster of the academy to make tough decisions that would affect all the students inside Brynhildr Academy.
