Chapter 727: Being Friends Is A Wonderful Thing

The party in Dud Manor lasted until nearly midnight before everyone decided to rest for the night.

Hecate closed the door in her room, as she hummed a happy tune.

She didn't expect that she would be given such a warm welcome by her Manor Mates, making her feel very happy.

Currently, the members of Dud Manor, including herself, were only a dozen.

There were only twelve people inside the Magical Manor, which she believed could house around three to four hundred people. Sёarᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Because of this, the bonds between them were quite strong, making her feel as if she had become part of a small family.

The young lady took off her robe, letting it fall on the carpeted floor.

She had only drunk a glass of champagne, so although her face was flushed, she was not drunk and was in full control of her senses.

Feeling too tired and too lazy to wear her pajamas, she simply slid into bed and gazed at the unfamiliar ceiling above her head.

'So, this is what it's like to be here in Dud Manor,' Hecate thought. 'I was finally able to meet Luna and Lilian. Both of them seemed to be very good girls. Well, that is to be expected of his partners.'

The young lady turned to her right side, and took out a small frame from her storage ring.

It was a picture of Ethan standing with a mischievous smile on his face, which made Hecate smile as well.

"You're such a sinful man, Mr. Tidebringer," Hecate muttered before giving Ethan's picture a kiss. "But, it is the Saintess duty to forgive you, so I will turn a blind eye for now."

Hecate then gently returned the picture frame to her storage ring before closing her eyes to sleep.

Half a minute later, soft sleeper breaths echoed faintly inside the room as the young lady dreamed of happy dreams, which were now within her reach.

Ethan slowly opened his eyes, and found himself being embraced by two beautiful ladies, who had decided to sleep with him after the two of them had drunk too much champagne during the party.

The young man made it a rule that they would not do anything too sensual whenever they were in Dud Manor, so the most they did whenever they were together was sleep.

It was a Sunday, and their classes would not start until the next day.

Because of this, he decided to allow his lovers to sleep a bit more, and didn't move from their embrace.

Lilith, who had noticed that her Master was already awake, jumped out of Ethan's shadow in her cat form.

'Good morning, Master,' Lilith said through telepathy.

'Good morning, Lilith,' Ethan replied.

He had tried to make the Catkin just call him Ethan, but Lilith would often revert to calling him Master when there were other people around.

Even if these people were her Sisters, who loved the same man that she did.

'Do you have any plans for today?' Lilith inquired as she sat on Ethan's belly button.

'No,' Ethan replied. 'Do you have any recommendations?'

Lilith pondered for a moment before shaking her head.

'I have a feeling that Lily, Emma, Nicole, and the Young Miss will visit you today,' Lilith answered. 'So not making any plans might be the optimum choice.'

Ethan smiled faintly and asked Lilith to come closer to him.

The black cat blinked once before following his Master's order.

He then playfully gave Lilith's lip a quick peck, making the latter wag her tail left and right.

Lilith found out a bit late that her tail had unknowingly hit her sleeping sisters, making them groggily open their eyes.

"My head hurts," Lilian groaned. "Is this what you call a hangover?"

Luna, who had also woken up, winced as she was hit by a headache.

Seeing his two suffering lovers, Ethan took a couple potions out of his storage ring and handed them to the two girls, who didn't hesitate to drink it to relieve the pain they were feeling.

A minute later, a sigh of relief escaped Lilian's lips, as she looked at her lover gratefully.

"Feeling better?" Ethan asked with a knowing smile.

"Much better," Lilian replied. "Thank you, Ethan."

"Just make sure to drink in moderation in the future."

"Mmm. I'll keep that in mind."

Luna, who had also recovered, also thanked Ethan before giving him a kiss on the cheek and greeted him good morning.

Lilith also transformed into her Catkin form, to join the morning kisses, which lasted a bit longer than they anticipated.

After being satisfied, Luna and Lilian left to return to their own rooms to wash up and dress properly.

They would then head to the Dining Hall with Ethan in order to eat something for breakfast.

While waiting for them, Ethan took a quick shower, and pulled on his casual clothes.

When he arrived in the Common Room, he saw his sister, Joanne, chatting with Hecate.

Even from a distance, he could hear that the two of them were talking about the Magdar Kingdom.

"I never thought that there would come a day when I would be able to meet the Saintess' best friend, and Co-Founder of the Order of Tidebringer," Hecate said before bowing respectfully to Joanne. "I greet the Co-Founder."

Instead of telling Hecate to not be too formal, Joanne simply nodded her head and accepted her worship.

"How is the Order right now?" Joanne asked. "Is everything running smoothly?"

"Yes, Lady Joanne," Hecate replied. "Everything is well."

"Good. If there's some trouble, don't hesitate to tell me. After all, I'm the Co-Founder of the Order of Tidebringer."

"Gladly, My Lady."

Originally, Ethan was planning to head back to his room because things might get awkward if he joined the conversation.

Unfortunately, he was a second too late.

"Good morning, Brother." Joanne greeted with a smile. "Have you eaten breakfast? If not, why don't we have breakfast together? Hecate said that she hasn't eaten yet, so let's all go to the Dining Hall together. Emma showed it to me before we came here."

Ethan glanced at his Promised One, who was seated on the couch opposite his sister.

The two of them exchanged a knowing glance before nodding their heads at the same time.

"Why not?" Ethan replied. "After this, I'll give you and Hecate a tour of the academy."

"Great!" Joanne nodded happily. "I want to see everything in this academy, so I won't get lost if I try to explore it. You'll accompany me right, Hecate?"

"It is my honor to accompany you, Lady Joanne," Hecate bowed respectfully.

"Stop bowing to me, once is enough," Joanne held Hecate's hands. "And besides, from this moment onwards, the two of us are friends. Friends don't need to bow to each other, okay?"

Hecate smiled and nodded her head in understanding. "Yes. Being friends is a wonderful thing."

"I know, right?" Joanne genuinely looked happy after telling Hecate that they were now friends.

After leaving her best friend in the past, she thought that she would have a hard time making friends after she returned to the present.

However, Hecate had this calming presence, which made Joanne feel as if she could trust her. Because of this, she decided to recognize her as her friend because she reminded her of Princess Ramona, who shared the same last name as Hecate.

A few minutes later, Luna and Lilian finally came down the stairs. The group of six walked towards the dining hall together, only to see a commotion along the way.

Lily, who was surrounded by her fans club, had a troubled look on her face.

However, when someone noticed Ethan walking in their direction, the entire group glared at him, very clearly treating him as their public enemy number one.
