Chapter 293: Do You Have Some Time Later?

After being woken up by Chloe, the two spent some intimate moments together. A little while later, she left to wake up Luna.

On the other hand, Ethan took this opportunity to take a quick shower.

Truth be told, he still hadn't fully recovered from their journey.

Luckily, it was the weekend, so they didn't have any classes for the time being.

He planned to use these two days to rest and take it easy. But knowing his luck, he had a feeling that things wouldn't go the way he wanted.

A few minutes later, Chloe knocked on the door of his room. This time, she was not alone.

"Good morning, Ethan," Luna greeted. "I hope you were able to get a good night's sleep."

"I did," Ethan replied before kissing Luna's cheek. "Good morning."

Chloe looked at the two of them with a puzzled gaze. Although this wasn't the first time Ethan kissed Luna in front of her, she sensed that there was something different this time around.

The handsome young man looked at the two beautiful girls before noticing that something seemed out of place.

"Where is Selene?" Ethan asked.

Luna giggled before giving Chloe a sidelong glance.

"Chloe scared her," Luna replied. "She refuses to come out, afraid that this academy is filled with scary people like her."

"… It wasn't my fault," Chloe protested. " I mean, she's just so cute and adorable. Is it a crime to hug her?"

Ethan shook his head helplessly because it seemed that all the ladies had a weak spot for Selene.

Even Bridget and Sefarina wanted to pet her back in the Legacy Domain.

Selene didn't like being touched, and she only agreed back then because she was scared that Ethan would eat her if she didn't allow his followers to pat her.

Of course, she still firmly opposed letting Ace and Archer touch her, which was completely justifiable since both of them were guys.

"Don't worry. Selene is just not used to strangers," Luna held Chloe's hand. "Once she gets to know you a little better, she will stop running away from you."

"Really?" Chloe asked hopefully.

Luna nodded "Yes. She's a very kind and caring creature. She will warm up to you eventually."

Ethan agreed with Luna's words.

"Hold back a bit when you are trying to form a good relationship with Selene," Ethan advised. "She's not a cat or dog that you can hold just because you want to. She's an intelligent Magical Beast, so you need to use a different approach to form a good connection with her."

"Understood." Chloe nodded her head seriously.

Clearly, she really wanted to get close to Selene, whose fur was so soft and fluffy, making all the girls want to make her their pet.

But ultimately, she was not a pet.

She was a Magical Creature, and now, she was Luna's Familiar.

And this Familiar was strong enough to crush boulders with a single punch on the nights of the full moon.

"Let's go have breakfast," Ethan said.

"Are we going to eat at the Dining Hall?" Chloe inquired. "They have this special pumpkin pudding they serve only on the weekends. But each Manor can only have a limited number of them."

Ethan and Luna glanced at each other and smiled. They understood what Chloe was hinting at, so they nodded their heads and went to the Dining Hall of the academy with her.

As they walked towards their destination, Ethan noticed that many people were staring in his direction.

This wasn't the first time this happened, so the young man was already used to this kind of attention.

However, he couldn't shake off the feeling that the stares he was receiving were different this time around.

"Is there something wrong with my face?" Ethan asked Chloe, who was walking on his right side.

Chloe glanced in his direction and stared long and hard on his face.

"I don't think there's anything different," Chloe replied after half a minute had passed. "Why?"

"People are staring at me," Ethan answered. seaʀᴄh thё ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Isn't that normal?" Chloe shrugged. "You should get used to the attention. More or less, you are a celebrity in this academy now."

The handsome young man sighed in his heart before nodding his head.

Right now, he was feeling hungry, so he ignored the stares of the students that were aimed in his direction.

Upon arriving at the Dining Hall, he led Chloe and Luna to the table that belonged to Dud Manor and sat in their usual seats.

"You can have mine," Ethan passed the pumpkin pudding he was served to Chloe, making the young lady very happy.

"Thank you!" Chloe happily accepted the limited edition pumpkin pudding.

But, just as Ethan was about to fill his plate with food, a young lady suddenly sat across from him and looked at him with a smile.

Ethan felt his heart skip a beat as Lily looked at him with a mischievous gaze.

"Hello, Mr. Gremory," Lily said in a teasing tone. "Do you have some time later? There is something I want to talk to you about in private."

"Of course," Ethan replied in a heartbeat.

How could he possibly say no to the young lady, who was now his secret lover?

Only a handful of people knew about Lily's true relationship with Ethan, and they were none other than Chloe, Luna, and Nicole.

This was the first time he was seeing Lily again after spending more than a month in Nightfall Academy.

In fact, the handsome young man wanted nothing more than to see and talk to her again, for their long time apart made him miss her company.

Chloe and Luna were also looking at the idol of the First Years in the academy with serious looks on their face.

Although they didn't want to admit it, they felt a little intimidated by Lily, not because she was popular with the First Years, but because she was Ethan's first lover.

They understood that the situation they faced in the Lands of Alastor was difficult, and the two girls were even thankful for what Lily did for Ethan.

But in the end, they still felt as though she had snatched their golden egg away from them.

Lily understood this as well. However, what happened already happened.

Right now, all she wanted was to form a good relationship with Chloe and Luna so that things wouldn't become awkward whenever they were together.

When she was done giving her greetings, she returned to the table of Jaeger Manor, with the promise of meeting with Ethan after lunch.

Luna watched Lily's retreating back before sighing inside her heart.

After experiencing everything that happened inside the Legacy Domain, she understood Lily a little bit. Sometimes, things outside of anyone's control happen.

The only thing they could do when such a situation occurred was to adapt and choose the most appropriate course of action.

Because of this, she decided to talk to Chloe in private later and tell her what had happened between her and Ethan while they were inside the Domain.

The angelic beauty didn't know how Chloe would react to her confession.

But Luna believed that as long as she didn't hide anything from her best friend, Chloe would understand.

Emma, who was seated at the table of Schwartz Manor, calmly drank her fruit juice as she gave her Master a sidelong glance.

Deep inside the depths of her eyes, a hint of expectation flashed for a brief moment before disappearing completely.

Ethan had told her something just before they disembarked from the Flying Ship last night.

If things went according to plan, then she would receive a gift from him that would aid her greatly, especially if she faced something that she wasn't capable of handling on her own.
