“As soone who's reuniting with family mbers, you look mighty unhappy, Lily,” the young man, who seed to be in his mid-twenties, smiled at his little sister who had co to et 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 .”
“Don’t be like that, Lily,” the young beauty hugged her sister. “We’re just worried about you. Also, who would you rather co 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 ca here instead of Father” gaze.
The two of them were brother and sister born from the sa mother, and among her siblings, Conall and Lyall liked her the most.
Lily sighed before nodding her head in agreent. “Indeed. I am grateful that it is the two of you that ca to see .”
“Okay, now that we’ve t, how about you introduce us to that… Dud of yours.” Conall grinned. “I am dying to et him.”
“, too!” Lyall comnted. “I can’t wait to rip him to shreds… I an, I can’t wait to get to know him better.”
Lily sighed for the second ti as she looked at her siblings.
“Very well,” Lily replied. “Co with .”
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 nad 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 ntioned 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 ant in the wizarding world.
Of course, the others weren’t ignorant and knew what it ant as well. But as soone born from a Wizard Family, Leah was almost livid when she heard her daughter’s statent.
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 disappointnt.
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 et the boy that Lily had chosen to beco her partner for life.
Seff and Leah agreed to this condition, and the talk ended in this manner.
A day later, Leah had finally cald 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 nad 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 sothing 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 handso 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 handso boy in front of her.
She liked handso 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 na is Ethan Gremory,” Ethan stated. “The two of you must be Lily’s older brother and sister.”
“That’s right,” Conall replied. “My na is Conall, and this is my sister, Lyall.”
Lyall smiled mischievously. “Hi, handso. After seeing how good-looking you are, I almost feel sorry for what is about to co.”
Ethan looked at the handso guy and beautiful lady who had features that faintly resembled Lily’s.
“Nice to et 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 handso 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 . Which one of you am I supposed to fight?”
