Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 442: Something Dark, Dangerous, And Incredibly Sexy

"You're doing great, Ethan."

"It's all because of you, Lilian. You were a very patient teacher."

"No. You are just a good student. I'm sure the ladies at the ball will give you the passing grade."

Ethan smiled as the music playing in the background faded.

Right now, Lilian was leaning her back against Ethan, while he had his arms wrapped around her.

The dance that they had just finished dancing was the dance meant for couples.

As someone who had participated in several high-ranking ballroom parties, Lilian knew the type of dances that were commonly used in these gatherings.

All in all, Lilian taught Ethan three dances due to the short time that was given to them.

But, those three dances would be enough to cover every kind of dance that would be played in the party.

"You're not allowed to use this dance for anyone other than us, okay?" LIlian said before turning around to hug Ethan and stand on tiptoe. "Absolutely not allowed."

"Okay," Ethan replied as he planted a kiss on Lilian's forehead. "I won't use this dance with other girls."

"Including Nicole," Lilian added.

Ethan chuckled before giving Lilian a light hug. "Fine."

"Just joking!" Lilian giggled. "I'm sure that she will try to escape being invited to this kind of dance. Since that is the case, her only option is to dance with you. So, make sure to give her a helping hand."

"Are you sure?" Ethan arched an eyebrow. "What if she becomes impressed with my dancing and falls in love with me?"

"Silly Ethan," Lilian lightly pinched her lover's cheeks. "Nicole won't fall in love with you because you dance well. It will take more than that to tame her wounded heart."

Ethan suddenly became curious after hearing Lilian's words.

But, he decided not to pry into Nicole's private life.

He already had a lot of trouble on his plate, and he didn't like adding more problems on top of it.

"Well then, have you prepared the clothes you are going to use for the party?" Lilian asked.

"… I need to prepare clothes?" Ethan blinked. "I thought the academy would provide me with something."

"… Are you serious?" Lilian didn't know if she should laugh or cry because Ethan's face showed it all. "You still don't have clothes for the ballroom party?"

Ethan shook his head.

All this time, he thought that the Academy would provide him with clothes, or he would get clothes when he arrived at the palace.

Because of this, he didn't make any effort to buy any clothes that he would use for the party.

There was also the series of events that had been kicked off, beginning with the arrival of the Grand Archmage of the Kingdom.

Simply put, he hadn't even had enough time to buy anything for the upcoming ballroom party.

"Ethan, sometimes I don't know if I should be happy knowing you, or be sad that you still have this side of you despite being one of the most outstanding Wizards of this generation," Lilian cupped the young man's cheeks. "Well, I don't really mind since we're the only ones who see this side of you.

"However, now that I know that you still don't have something to wear, it's time to go to Limeburgh Town!"

Without another word, Lilian grabbed Ethan's hand and dragged him to go shopping.

On their way to the exit of Dud Manor, they came across Luna and Selene, who had just returned now that the angelic beauty had finished her extra classes.

"Good timing Luna!" Lilian said as she also grabbed Luna's hand. "Come with us to Limeburgh Town. Ethan still didn't have a suit for the ballroom party."

"Oh, no, that's not good," Luna's expression became serious after hearing Lilian's words. "Let's go right away!"

This time, instead of one girl dragging him, it now became two, making Ethan shake his head helplessly.

—————————

Several minutes later…

The three finally arrived in Limeburgh Town, and the first shop they went to was the shop that sold suits.

Since there was not enough time for Ethan to have a custom suit made for himself, they had to pick the next best thing.

Fortunately, the Tailors of the Wizarding World specialized in alteration magic, so changing the size of clothes wasn't an issue.

After picking up a few suits that matched the color of his hair and eyes, Luna asked Ethan to try on something that caught her attention.

The moment the teenage boy stepped outside of the dressing room, the two young ladies, as well as the other customers in the store, looked at him in a daze.

"… Luna."

"… Lilian."

"You are a genius."

"Thank you. I wasn't quite sure if it would look good on him as well."

Currently, Ethan was wearing the black butler suit that Luna asked him to try on after she saw it on display.

Even the seamstress nodded her head in appreciation after seeing a handsome young man wearing one of her creations.

"Ethan, can you call me, Your Highness?" Lilian asked. "Pretty please."

Ethan gave his lover a devilish smile before making a proper bow.

"Yes, Your Highness."

The ladies, who were also inside the store, looked at Ethan with fawning looks on their faces.

"Kuh! Can we keep him for ourselves? How much do I need to pay to hire him?"

"Why is my family's butler an old man? Why can't he be a young and handsome teenager like him?'

"I want to take him home."

Luna, and Lilian, who heard the comments of the ladies around them couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement.

""Master, we're buying this butler suit!""

"It's good doing business with the two of you!"

Ethan decided to humor his two lovers, and kept his butler suit on.

The three of them then had a short date in the city, with almost every young lady and woman looking in his direction.

His long blue hair was tied up behind his back, and held in place with a wolf hair pin.

This was one of the gifts that Lily had given him, and he always wore it to keep his hair presentable.

"I think we should return to the academy," Lilian commented as she looked at the setting sun in the distance.

"Might as well," Luna replied.

But, at that exact moment, they came face to face with Leah, Lyall, and Conall, who were also in the city and buying souvenirs to take back home.

"Ahhhhh!" Lyall squealed after seeing Ethan in a butler suit.

The next moment, she tried to jump into his arms, but her mother, Leah, was faster.

"Leviticus!" Leah said as he pointed the wand at her daughter, making her freeze mid-jump.

Lyall tried to break free from the spell that bound her body, but Leah's hold on her was firm, making her give up in the end.

"Can you not embarrass me in public, Lyall?" Leah looked at her daughter with a disapproving look on her face.

The beautiful woman sighed before looking at the handsome young man, who was holding hands with two beautiful girls.

She already knew the names of Ethan's lovers, but she still hadn't taken a good look at them ever since she arrived at the academy.

"Mother, let me introduce you to Luna and Lilian," Ethan said. "This is Lady Leah, Lily's Mother."

"Nice to meet you, Lady Leah," Lilian made a perfect curtsy, which Leah returned as well.

"Nice to meet you, Lady Leah," Luna also made a curtsy, which was expected of a lady of her rank.

'This boy sure knows how to pick flowers,' Leah thought as she looked at the two teenage girls, who wouldn't lose to the beauty of her daughter. 'Well, Lily is already his First Wife, so I don't need to worry about her getting bullied by others.'

Lyall, who was still floating in mid-air, kept her gaze locked on to Ethan, making the latter feel a bit uncomfortable.

"The sun is about to set, so all of you return to the academy," Leah stated. "Ethan, we will be returning to Southshire tomorrow. I'd appreciate it if you are there to bid us farewell."

"I'll be there, Mother." Ethan nodded. "We'll now return to the academy."

After a short goodbye, the three rode their flying brooms to return to the academy as fast as possible.

"Mother! Why did you stop me?" Lyall pouted. "I was this close!"

"Alright, stop embarrassing our family," Leah replied. "Conall, make sure that she doesn't attack Ethan tonight. I'm counting on you."

"Yes, Mother," Conall replied. "I'll make sure that Lyall doesn't cause trouble for you and the academy."

"Hmph!" Lyall crossed her arms over her chest, and decided to ignore her brother and mother.

Deep inside, she envied Lily because she managed to find a good man, who was worthy of her.

But, for some reason, Ethan held a very fatal attraction to her.

It was not just because he was handsome.

No.

Lyall could feel something dark, dangerous, and incredibly sexy, hiding beneath the young man's calm gaze, and it made her heart flutter inside her chest.

She was very sensitive to very dangerous individuals, especially those who had the power to kill her.

But, instead of fearing it, she embraced this feeling, giving her the strong urge to slice up Ethan's chest, and eat his heart, so that he would stay with her… forever.
