Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 908: Meeting Samantha’s Parents [Part 1]

Ethan couldn't help but smile as he looked at Samantha, who was wearing a white summer dress and a hat. It was simple but it looked great on her.

Both of them were waiting for the train that would take them to Samantha's hometown, so Ethan could meet her parents.

There was a lot of planning that was done for this visit, and the young man even asked his lovers for advice.

Ethan had dressed up for the occasion, and although he wasn't wearing something formal like a suit, his clothes were enough to make the ladies in the station glance in his direction from time to time.

The young man wore a black-collared long-sleeve shirt that stuck close to his body, which highlighted the outline of his upper body.

He was also wearing black pants that complimented the design, making him look like a model who was about to walk on the catwalk.

Lily and Luna had helped him pick his wardrobe for this occasion, wanting to help him leave a good first impression on Samantha's parents.

Samantha, on the other hand, told Ethan that, if he really wanted to give his parents a good impression, he should give them a bag of gold coins.

Of course, the young lady was just joking when she said this, but Ethan took her words to heart.

If only she knew that Ethan had prepared two bags of gold instead of one, she might have dug a hole and buried herself inside of it out of embarrassment.

Seeing that nearly all the ladies around were looking at her lover, Samantha moved closer to Ethan and hugged his arm.

This was her way of telling everyone that the handsome young man belonged to her, and they should mind their own business!

Ethan, who found her little move very cute and adorable, couldn't help but smile wider, which enhanced his good looks.

Fortunately, the train arrived after five minutes, and the two headed inside and went to their reserved compartment.

Only when the two were safely seated did Samantha remove her hat before patting her chest in relief.

"What's wrong?" Ethan asked.

"You're too handsome," Samantha replied without thinking.

"Is that a bad thing?" Ethan smiled sweetly.

"Yes," Samantha replied. "When we go out, I will make you wear a mask."

"Sounds good. But you'll also wear one."

"Hmph! I don't need one because no one will look at me."

Ethan shook his head. "Didn't you notice earlier? Many guys were looking at you, so I had no choice but to glare in their direction to make them stop looking."

The young lady blinked once then twice before tilting her head.

"Really?" Samantha asked half in doubt. "I don't think I'm that attractive."

"You sure have very low self esteem, huh?" Ethan commented. "Trust me. You're very attractive. Didn't you tell me that you had many suitors back in the academy?"

"… Ethan, you do know that all the ladies in Terra Manor are always sought out by Wizarding Families, right?" Samantha inquired. "It's because Life and Nature Magics strengthen the bloodlines of these families, allowing their children to be born healthy.

"Any Witch in the Terra Manor, regardless of their looks, will have suitors. For the Wizarding Families, having us give birth to their next generation guarantees the expansion of their bloodlines because all Witches that have nature and life magic are very fertile."

"I didn't know that," Ethan replied. "Are the Wizards in the Terra Manor well-sought out as well?"

"Some of them are, especially the good-looking ones," Samantha answered. "But for Witches, we're considered the hottest commodity, you know?"

Ethan didn't know that the Witches of the Terra Manor were being courted due to their high fertility.

He didn't really know much about the Wizarding World, so this information caught him by surprise.

"Well, in any case, I guarantee that you are very attractive." Ethan wrapped his arms around Samantha's body and hugged her close. "So, don't look down on yourself anymore, okay?"

"Well, it's a bit hard to call myself attractive when you are surrounded by more beautiful and talented ladies," Samantha pouted.

"There you go again." Ethan lightly pressed his forehead against Samantha's own. "Okay, let's do it this way. For every time that you say that you are unattractive, I will kiss you regardless of where we are."

Samantha's body shuddered because the thought of Ethan kissing her in public, especially in the academy, would be similar to a death sentence to her.

"Y-You're joking, right?" Samantha stuttered.

"I'm not." Ethan smirked. "So, be prepared to get kissed."

"Um… you said that we should hide our relationship in the academy. Did you forget?"

"I didn't. That's why, you should do your best to stop looking down on yourself, or else…"

The young man's deep and sexy voice made Samantha feel weak. If not for the fact that she was already sitting, she might have collapsed on the ground because her legs had turned to jelly.

"L-Let's talk about something else," Samantha proposed. "Although my parents said that they are expecting our visit, I'm very sure that they didn't believe a word that I said. So, I'm sure they will be surprised when they see you."

"Then, how do you want me to introduce myself?" Ethan asked with genuine curiosity.

"I'll leave it up to you," Samantha replied with a mischievous smile plastered on her face. "Even I look forward to seeing how you will introduce yourself to my family."

Ethan lightly patted Samantha's head because he remembered one of her fantasies when he saw her memories.

Since Samantha was from an ordinary family, which Nobles called Commoners, she liked to read fairy tales similar to Cinderella.

She wanted to marry a Prince when she was younger, which would ensure that her family would get better treatment and probably raise their status as well.

'I told you a few days ago to melt some gold bars to create a crown,' Sebastian said. 'You also have many jewels, so adding them won't be an issue.'

'Yeah, and you should wear a maned-cloak like the King wears during formal ceremonies,' Ethan's Other Half chuckled. 'I'm sure that Samantha's parents will have a good first impression of you.'

Ethan ignored the two members of his peanut gallery because if he had really followed their advice, he was certain that Samantha would run away and pretend like she didn't know him.

Even he didn't have skin thick enough to wear something that would make him look like a cosplayer.

Time passed, and the two chatted happily during their journey.

Aside from the time that they shared a room together, this was the first time that the two of them had talked about many things.

Ethan asked Samantha a lot of personal questions regarding her family, and the young lady asked something similar to Ethan.

The young lady didn't ask a lot of questions about his blood-related family, and focused most of her questions on his grandfather and grandmother.

Since Ethan grew up on a farm, Samantha wanted to know more about his experiences while growing up.

Although it was embarrassing, the young man told Samantha of his carefree and naive self, who didn't even want to go to the academy.

He even mentioned the part where he bumped into Alice, which caused them to exchange their tickets.

Samantha's eyes widened in shock when she found out that the Ethan whom she saw during the Initiation Ceremony was just a young man who had ridden the wrong train and ended up in a magic academy.
