Chapter 297 Lily’s Brother and Sister

“As someone who's reuniting with family members, you look mighty unhappy, Lily,” the young man, who seemed to be in his mid-twenties, smiled at his little sister who had come to meet them at the gates of the academy.

“Of course, I am happy to see you, Brother,” Lily replied. “The only thing I’m not happy about is your reason for coming to see me.”

“Don’t be like that, Lily,” the young beauty hugged her sister. “We’re just worried about you. Also, who would you rather come visit you here—us or Father? I’m sure the answer is very obvious, no?”

Lily’s older brother, Conall, and older sister, Lyall, gave her the “you should be grateful that we were the ones who came here instead of Father” gaze.

The two of them were brother and sister born from the same mother, and among her siblings, Conall and Lyall liked her the most.

Lily sighed before nodding her head in agreement. “Indeed. I am grateful that it is the two of you that came to see me.”

“Okay, now that we’ve met, how about you introduce us to that… Dud of yours.” Conall grinned. “I am dying to meet him.”

“Me, too!” Lyall commented. “I can’t wait to rip him to shreds… I mean, I can’t wait to get to know him better.”

Lily sighed for the second time as she looked at her siblings.

“Very well,” Lily replied. “Come with me.”

Conall and Lyall walked a few steps behind Lily.

They both looked calm on the surface, but deep in their hearts, they were thinking about what very sinister things they could do to the teenager named Ethan, whom Lily had declared to be her significant other to their entire family.

Everyone was very happy for her at the beginning, but when she mentioned that Ethan was a Dud, an almost pin-drop silence descended in their family’s hall.

Conall could recall that scene as if it just happened yesterday. His father had managed to reign in his anger well, but Lily’s mother wasn't able to stop herself from looking at her daughter as if she was mad.

Leah was the only witch among their father’s wives, and she understood what a Dud meant in the wizarding world.

Of course, the others weren’t ignorant and knew what it meant as well. But as someone born from a Wizard Family, Leah was almost livid when she heard her daughter’s statement.

She had sent Lily to Brynhildr Academy because Professor Rinehart was her senior in Eques Manor.

Leah was certain that the Headmaster would look after her daughter. But after hearing that Lily had fallen in love with the Dud who had accompanied her on their journey to the past, she didn’t take it well.

Of course, since Leah didn’t take it well, her husband, Seff, didn't like it either.

However, they didn’t scold Lily and reigned in their anger and disappointment.

Originally, it was supposed to be Seff and Leah who would visit the academy in order to see the Dud who had tricked and seduced their daughter.

However, Conall’s and Lyall’s mother, Zella, voiced her concern for Lily’s significant other.

She knew that if her husband and sister went to the academy, the Dud would certainly find himself six feet under the ground.

Because of this, she proposed that her two children should go instead, and meet the boy that Lily had chosen to become her partner for life.

Seff and Leah agreed to this condition, and the talk ended in this manner.

A day later, Leah had finally calmed down and talked to Lily in private. After her daughter said that she was truly in love with Ethan, the older lady finally relented and told her that she would accept her decision.

Seff, on the other hand, was unmoved. He still looked down on the Dud who managed to worm his way inside his daughter’s heart.

He believed that the teenage boy named Ethan had no prospects in life and would only leech off his daughter for life.

What Seff hated the most were weaklings.

He hated people who only relied on other people in order to survive and accomplish something in the world.

Because of this, he secretly told Conall that if there was an opportunity, he must challenge Ethan in a duel.

His goal was to beat up Ethan to the point that the teenage boy would take the initiative to break off his relationship with Lily, freeing his daughter from the shackles that he had placed on her.

As Conall finished his recollection, he suddenly noticed that her sister had stopped walking.

This made him frown, but after looking at what was in front of them, the corner of his lips curled up into a smile.

Blocking their path was a handsome young man with long blue hair and eyes who looked at his sister, Lily, with love and affection.

“Not bad,” Lyall muttered as she looked at the handsome boy in front of her.

She liked handsome guys, and Ethan definitely passed her standards. If only he weren't a Dud, Lyall would be teasing Lily right now for managing to hook up with a guy who held an undeniable charm.

“Ethan…” Lily looked at her lover with an anxious gaze.

Ethan, on the other hand, just smiled and nodded his head. His gaze was steady and no traces of anxiousness could be seen in it.

“My name is Ethan Gremory,” Ethan stated. “The two of you must be Lily’s older brother and sister.”

“That’s right,” Conall replied. “My name is Conall, and this is my sister, Lyall.”

Lyall smiled mischievously. “Hi, handsome. After seeing how good-looking you are, I almost feel sorry for what is about to come.”

Ethan looked at the handsome guy and beautiful lady who had features that faintly resembled Lily’s.

“Nice to meet the two of you.” Ethan gave the two of them a nod of greeting. “I’m sure that both of you already know that I am Lily’s lover.”

“Indeed,” Conall replied. “But that will soon change.”

“Well, if you and Lily break up, I don’t mind taking you in.” Lyall covered her lips and chuckled.

She was looking at Ethan as if the handsome young man was prey that she wanted to bite so that she could have a better taste of him.

Ethan smiled as he looked at the two people whom Lily had warned him about. However, his next words not only surprised his lover, but her siblings as well.

“Since we’re already acquainted, why don’t we all cut to the chase,” Ethan said. “Now, tell me. Which one of you am I supposed to fight?”
