Chapter 381: For Your Eyes Only
Chapter 381: For Your Eyes Only
When Ethan and Lilian arrived at the Dud Manor, they saw Luna waiting for them in the Common Room.
She and the others had decided to give Ethan and Lilian some alone time to talk in private, which Lilian thought was very considerate of them.
However, a single glance at their intertwined hands was enough to tell Luna about the current status of their relationship.
"Should I say congratulations to you, Lilian?" Luna asked with a smile.
The younger lady smiled and walked up to one of her "sisters" and held her hand.
"Can I sleep with you tonight?" Lilian asked. "There are things that I want to ask about Ethan."
"Understood." Luna nodded in understanding. "I'll tell you everything about him, including his most embarrassing moments."
The young man tilted his head in confusion as he looked at the angelic beauty.
"Do I have embarrassing moments?" Ethan asked in confusion.
"Of course," Luna replied in a heartbeat. "You simply improved a lot after you returned from the Lands of Alastor. But before that, you weren't this suave."
A faint blush appeared on Luna's face after admitting that Ethan's charisma had skyrocketed when he returned from his journey to the past.
His hair was longer, and his attitude was more calm and assuring. Also, his strength had increased by leaps and bounds.
He was more confident and sure of himself, which was a stark contrast to the happy-go-lucky Ethan who had freshly entered Brynhildr Academy.
The past Ethan was insecure and had many worries.
The young man who had suddenly gained magic through the ritual that she initiated, and the feelings of love that they had developed for each other.
They were Luna's precious memories, and they were something she held very dear in her heart.
Even now, she felt honored and happy with the fact that she played a major role in allowing the young man to achieve the things that he currently possessed.
It was through her magic that Ethan finally managed to take that first step in fully embracing the Magical World. A world where she belonged and was now an inseparable part of his world.
Suddenly, the door of the manor opened, and two people, whom Ethan hadn't seen in a while, appeared in the Common Room.
They were none other than Noah, the handsome silver-haired boy, and George, whom he hadn't seen since he went with Henry to complete his Legacy Trial.
"Ethan, my boy. Have you heard the latest rumors?" George said with a smirk on his face.
"What rumors?" Ethan arched an eyebrow.
George glanced at Lilian who was chatting with Luna before walking closer to Ethan to whisper something in his ear.
"The rumor is saying that you seduced Lilian to transfer here to Brynhildr Academy," George whispered. "And you did it after your match with her brother, Cedric."
"That's not true," Ethan replied. "I didn't seduce anyone."
"Aish!" George facepalmed before giving Ethan a look of disdain. "Noah, this guy is saying that he's not seducing anyone. Can you tell him in simple terms that even a baby can understand?"
Noah smiled bitterly before nodding her head. "Do you remember that when you fought Cedric, you did it topless?"
"Yes?" Ethan frowned. "What does that have to do with this?"
"Well, it seems that your deity-like body seduced a lot of ladies during that match," Noah replied. "Ethan, do the guys here in the academy a favor and never fight topless again. Even my girlfriend is telling me to train a little harder, so I can have a body like yours."
George nodded. "I mean, even though my body is better than yours, I hate to see you strutting in the academy like that, man. Give the single guys a chance, will you?!"
Luna and Lilian, who were both listening to the exchange between the boys, couldn't help but giggle.
Lilian had dreamed about being held by Ethan while he was topless many times since the day she saw his body.
Luna, who had already had the privilege of being embraced by Ethan, could attest that she was also mesmerized by how perfect her lover's physique was.
But despite how powerful it was, his touch and caresses were very gentle and filled with love, making her heart shudder whenever their bodies joined together.
"Lilian, tell me the truth," George approached the young lady with a smile. "Did Ethan seduce you? Don't worry, I'll make sure to not spread it tonight."
"Only tonight?" Lilian asked, raising her eyebrow.
"Yes," George nodded sagely. "Tomorrow is another day, and there is an ongoing bet between the guys whether you were seduced by Ethan or not to transfer to the academy."
The young lady gave Ethan a side-long glance before shifting her attention to George.
"I developed a crush on him when I saw him in Nightfall Academy," Lilian replied. "But I have to admit, seeing him topless sealed the deal."
"Damn!" George held his head with both hands. "I should have betted more! I should have gone all in. I would have gotten at least ten thousand Merit Points if I did that! Wait, maybe there is still time."
George hurriedly left the Dud Manor in order to meet with the Gambling Honcho of the academy. That person would always open a betting house in Brynhildr Academy whenever there was a good opportunity to earn quick cash and merit points.
Noah shook his head helplessly before patting Ethan's shoulder.
"Remember, no more going around topless in the academy," Noah stated. "If you do it one more time, all the guys will treat you as Public Enemy Number One. I'm not kidding."
After saying those words, Noah went up the right stairs to head to the dorms for the boys.
The dorms for the boys and girls were separated, but there was no rule that they couldn't visit each other.
This was why Luna was able to visit Ethan's room anytime she wanted.
Ethan walked towards his two lovers and placed his hands on his waist.
"Is it really that bad?" Ethan asked. "Going topless, I mean."
Luna and Lilian glanced at each other before nodding their heads at the same time.
"I don't mind if you take your clothes off in front of me, but you are not allowed to show the other girls your body," Luna stated with a serious expression on her face.
"That's right, Ethan," Lilian replied before standing up to whisper something in his ears. "Just like our bodies are for your eyes only, your body should be for our eyes only. Would you like it if other guys were to see us topless?"
"Of course not," Ethan replied in a heartbeat.
"Then that's your answer," Lilian smiled before sitting beside Luna. "So make sure to not do it again, okay?"
Ethan nodded seriously.
The three of them then chatted for half an hour before Luna and Lilian left and went to the girl's dorms for some girl talk.
Ethan returned to his room to rest.
As soon as he closed the door of his room, Lilith jumped out of the shadow and sulked in the corner of the room.
"What's wrong, Lilith?" Ethan asked. "Are you hungry?"
The young man then took out the picnic basket from his storage ring. There were still three sandwiches left on it because he and Lilian couldn't finish everything.
"Don't mind me, Master," Lilith replied. "Just rest for now. You still have classes tomorrow."
"Okay," Ethan nodded. "You rest early as well."
The young man then walked towards the bathroom to take a quick shower before bed.
Lilith, on the other hand, sighed deeply.
She was starting to feel depressed about constantly being with Ethan.
The reason?
It was because she felt envious of his lovers!
Lilian had just arrived at the academy, but she had already been kissed numerous times by Ethan.
The most annoying thing was that there was even music playing when it happened!
There were even people singing!
Just like Lilian, Lilith was unable to find the source of the voices who sang at the lake. Even after extending her senses to the maximum, she was unable to pinpoint their location.
If not for the fact that her Master didn't seem to be bothered or alarmed by the singers, she would have definitely dragged him and Lilian away from the lake by force.
"I can't get used to this," Lilith muttered helplessly. "Next time, in order to save myself from jealousy, I will leave whenever Master is about to make his move. My poor heart can't take too much of this punishment."
The Black Cat sighed before jumping on top of the table to eat the remaining sandwiches.
Since she couldn't do anything about her bitterness, she decided to just eat and set the matter aside for the time being.
Meanwhile, in the Eques Manor…
Chloe looked at the moon from the window of her room.
She had heard the rumors going around about Ethan and Lilian, but she knew that this wasn't true.
Even so, there was a slight ache in her heart as she thought about the young lady, who was now living in Dud Manor with her cousin.
'With so many beautiful girls around you, I'm sure you won't miss me much,' Chloe said softly as she covered her eyes with both of her hands. 'I didn't know it would hurt this much.'
Her shoulders trembled a bit, but no one was able to see this moment of weakness, except for a white raven, who was sitting on the branch of a tree, hidden by the shroud of darkness. He looked at one of the people whom his Master held dear in his heart with pity.
Suddenly, a raven landed beside Dantalion and moved closer to his side.
The White Raven didn't move as the Black Raven leaned her head on his body and looked at her crying mistress with a sorrowful look on her face.
