Chapter 418 True Magic Comes From The Heart [Part 2]

?Ethan who was being stared at by his Manor Mates tried to prop himself up from the floor, but for some reason, he couldn’t muster his strength to do so.

Seeing that he seemed reluctant to get up, Henry squatted and rubbed his chin with his finger.

“Is sleeping on the carpet really so comfortable that you slept here for the entire night?” Henry asked.

“Entire night?” Ethan blinked in confusion. “Isn’t it just past nine o’clock in the evening?”

“Ethan, it’s already six in the morning,” Henry replied.

A faint smile could be seen not only on Henry’s face but also on all the residents of the Dud Manor that was also there with him.

“I got to say, Ethan—I’ve been in the academy for three years, but I’ve never seen someone sleep on the floor of the Common Room,” George stated. “Are you perhaps trying to create a new record? If so, you succeeded wonderfully.”

Ethan tried to muster all the strength in his body to stand up, but no matter what he did, he only felt numb and heavy.

This was the first time he felt his strength failed him like this, and he couldn’t understand what was happening.

‘Don’t worry, you will return to normal after a time,’ Ethan’s Other Half said from his Sea of Consciousness. ‘Your soul and body still haven’t synchronized properly. I don’t know what happened either, but instead of going to your room, you walked toward the Common Room.

“No one was able to see you as if you were invisible. Not long after, you collapsed on the floor and fell unconscious. You have remained in the same position until dawn, but whatever made you invisible wore off when the light of the sun started to lighten up the horizon.”

“That’s right,” Sebastian commented. “The first one to see you was George, but he thought that you were just sleeping, so he didn’t bother waking you up. The others appeared soon after, and you’re now in this situation. Can you tell us what happened?”

Ethan didn’t hesitate to tell Sebastian and his Other Half everything that happened.

His conversation with Fortis Dud didn’t even last for half an hour, yet it turned out that several hours had passed, with him lying on the floor. Now, he was even unable to move his body.

“I see. So that explains it,” Ethan’s Other Half stated. “He might have pulled your Soul into a different dimension, making your body end up this way. But like I said earlier, the moment your soul synchronizes with your body again, you will return to normal.”

Ethan sighed in his heart because it seemed that there was nothing he could do about it.

“Sir Henry, can you help me up a bit,” Ethan said. “Lying on the floor is not very comfortable.”

Henry nodded and picked Ethan up before laying him down on the couch.

It was at that moment when Luna and Lilian descended the stairs and saw that almost everyone had gathered in the Common Room, making them wonder what was going on.

There, they found their lover, whom they hadn’t seen during the night.

Both had decided to sleep with him and waited in his room until they fell asleep together.

But to their surprise, Ethan still wasn’t there even after they woke up, which made them wonder where he had gone during the night.

“What happened?” Luna asked when he saw Ethan lying on the couch.

“He slept on the floor all night,” George replied.

“He did?” Lilian asked in disbelief. “But why?”

George shook his head before pointing at the young man, who was still unable to move his body as if he was paralyzed. “Don’t ask me, ask him. Well, then. Since the two of you are here, I’m heading to the Dining Hall to have breakfast. See you later.”

George left without another word, and the rest of the residents, with the exception of Henry, also bid their goodbyes.

“Should I ask the kitchen to bring something here so that the three of you can eat together?” Henry asked.

He knew that Luna and Lilian had a special relationship with Ethan, so he believed that the two wouldn’t leave him until he recovered.

This was also the reason why George and their Manor Mates were able to leave without too much worry. All of them were simply sure that Ethan was in good hands.

“Yes, please,” Luna replied.

“Understood.” Henry nodded and left Dud Manor as well.

When they were sure that everyone was already gone, the two ladies asked Ethan what had happened.

When he tried to tell his lovers that he had met Fortis Dud, he suddenly lost his voice, which almost made Luna and Lilian panic.

Just as Lilian was about to run to the infirmary to call for help, Ethan’s voice returned, and he told her that he was fine.

“I’m sorry, it seems that I’m restricted from telling the two of you about what happened to me,” Ethan said in an apologetic tone.

He didn’t know why he was able to tell Sebastian and his Other Half what happened, but he was unable to tell his lovers about it.

In the end, Sebastian and his Other Half concluded that whatever Ethan saw and heard wasn’t meant for other people to know.

Since the two of them resided inside Ethan’s Consciousness, this rule didn’t affect them, so he was able to tell them what had happened without losing his voice.

Fortunately, Ethan was able to regain control of his body an hour later, which made Luna and Lilian finally breathe a sigh of relief.

“Do you want to take a day off from classes?” Lilian asked. “I’ll explain it to our Professors if you like.”

“No need,” Ethan replied. “I’ll just have a quick shower to freshen myself up and we can have breakfast together.”

Luna and Lilian nodded and no longer insisted that Ethan take a day off.

Although he felt like crap, the shower helped him a bit and also eased his mind.

‘I’ll go to the Library later to see what secrets Fortis Dud wanted me to see,’ Ethan thought. ‘But first, I have to be ready.’

The Founder of the Dud Manor had told Ethan that he needed to fill up his magic reserves before entering the hidden staircase in the library.

Since that was the case, he would need to make preparations beforehand before heading to the unknown, where Fortis Dud wanted him to go.
