Three weeks had passed since the battle between Ethan and Cedric.
During that time, Ethan studied hard and trained even harder. He even made sure to spare some time to go to the library and research about the Northeast Region of Eastshire, where the Oswald Barony was located.
He wanted to have a better understanding of the kind of environmental conditions that Luna's family was living in and their way of life.
Days passed quickly, and before Ethan knew it, the Winter Break of Brynhildr Academy was just three days away.
In an Inn in Limeburgh Town…
The sound of kisses echoed inside the walls of the room as the bodies of three people pressed against each other.
Luna and Lily had invited Ethan to go shopping with them in Limeburgh Town. Ethan naturally agreed to their request, knowing that he wouldn't be seeing Lily until Winter Break was over.
But once they were finished shopping, the young lady dragged Ethan and Luna to the Inn and booked a room for the three of them to stay over for the night.
At first, Luna was hesitant, but after Lily talked to her for a few minutes in private, she reluctantly agreed and the rest was history.
The three made love with each other, and with every round that passed, Luna's shyness gradually disappeared, and she worked with Lily to make their lover feel good.
Of course, Ethan did his best to return the favor, and the three of them made love until they could not move anymore.
"That was amazing…," Lily said before kissing Ethan's cheek. "Thank you, Ethan. How about you, Luna? Are you satisfied?"
"… Yes," Luna admitted. "It was an eye-opening experience."
Ethan didn't say anything because he was dead tired. His two lovers seemed to have been very eager to milk him dry, and they both succeeded with their plan.
Truth be told, both young ladies were feeling anxious about returning to their homes.
Lily knew that she would be thoroughly questioned by her family once she got home. She was also sure that they would not be happy to see that she didn't bring Ethan with her to meet them.
Luna, on the other hand, was also very worried, but for a different reason.
She was worried that her father and brothers would gang up to fight Ethan, forcing the latter to fight back.
"Ethan, just to be safe, make sure to kiss the fairies before we visit my family," Luna said as she lightly patted Ethan's chest. "They know that you are coming, so they will most likely prepare a welcome for you."
The handsome young man looked at his lover, who was looking at him with worry.
"Understood," Ethan replied. "I'll come ready for war."
Luna nodded before kissing his lips and hugging him tightly.
"Learn from this experience, Ethan," Lily also hugged the young man, pressing her body against him. "If you can't even survive Luna's parents, you'll have no chance of surviving mine."
Ethan could only smile bitterly, knowing that what Lily said was true. If he were unable to overcome the challenges of Luna's family, then he shouldn't think of dealing with Lily's family as well.
"This is what you get for having many lovers." Lily poked Ethan's nose. "Are you regretting it?"
Luna was also looking at Ethan, looking for any signs of regret on his face.
Instead of answering, the young man wrapped his arms around the bodies of his two lovers and pulled them closer to him.
He then kissed their foreheads and continued to hold them close.
"I would regret it more if I were not able to hold the two of you right now," Ethan replied. "So, rest assured. Even if I have to go through a sea of fire and a mountain of knives, I'll do it just to make sure that the two of you continue to stay by my side."
Lily and Luna glanced at each other and smiled.
"You sure have a way with words," Lily commented.
"Indeed." Luna nodded.
The three continued to hold each other close until they finally fell into sleep's embrace.
Now that their bodies and hearts were sated, they would be able to face whatever challenges they needed to face with a firm belief that, at the end of their journey, they would still be together like this.

"All of you, have a safe journey," Lily hugged Chloe and Luna. "Make sure to keep an eye on him, okay? Some country girls might snatch him away if you two don't keep a leash on his neck."
Chloe and Luna nodded their heads seriously.
Emma, on the other hand, stood a few meters away from Ethan, giving him space.
Luna agreed to bring her along to serve as the young man's protector just in case things went south.
She had also informed her family about the number of people who would come with her to their barony, so she was certain that they had already prepared the rooms where the two of them were going to stay.
The Oswald Residence had two guest rooms. Chloe would sleep with her, while the two other rooms were for Ethan and Emma.
"Go swift, and go safely," Lily said as she hugged Ethan. "May fortune smile upon you."
"You too," Ethan replied as he hugged her back. "Be safe. We will spend the solstice together, even if we are far from each other."
Lily smiled before nodding her head.
"Go now," Lily stated. "I can already sense my family members in the distance. You must leave before they arrive."
Ethan nodded and summoned his Wind Dancer.
They would ride their broomsticks until they reached Limeburgh Town, where they'd take the train that would bring them to the Northeast of Eastshire.
The journey by train would last for two days before they arrived at a small town near the Oswald Barony.
From there, they would once again ride their broomsticks to reach their destination.
It would be a long journey, but everyone was already prepared for it.
The moment Ethan and the others disappeared from her vision, Lily was finally able to sigh in relief.
She then looked in the direction where she could feel the presence of her brother, Conall, and her sister, Lyall.
The young lady breathed a sigh of relief because she couldn't sense her father with them. As long as the head of their family didn't personally come to visit Ethan, things would still be salvageable.
At least, that was what she hoped would happen.
