Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 694  Nine Out Of Ten

Two carriages traversed the unpaved roads of the Oswald Barony.

It was a bumpy trip, and Joanne frowned a lot in dissatisfaction.

However, she didn’t throw a tantrum, something she definitely would have done if she hadn’t been to the Magdar Kingdom, which also didn’t have paved roads in the past.

She simply endured the carriage ride, which made her mother, Catherine, proud of how much her daughter had grown in maturity.

Nevertheless, it didn’t change the fact that Joanne would ask “are we there yet?” from time to time, in the hope that her suffering would end soon.

“We’re almost there,” Ethan replied. “You see that house over there? That’s the Oswald Family’s Residence.”

The young lady narrowed her eyes as she looked at the two-story house with a scrutinizing gaze.

“It looks rather new,” Joanne commented. “Well, I guess it’s good enough for a house out here in the sticks.” n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Ethan smiled faintly. His sister had become more patient and careful with her words, but she was still blunt whenever she made her opinion known.

The young man then shifted his attention to Luna’s house, which had become bigger and looked more fit to be called a Baron’s house than the one he saw when he’d come to visit last.

Clearly, they had put Ethan’s donation to their Barony to good use. Aside from the changes in the Oswald family's residence, he had also seen that the farms along the way now had proper irrigation, and the people looked happier with their lives.

Chloe, who was also looking forward to meeting her best friend, looked at the house with a smile.

They didn’t inform them that they would come to visit, but she was looking forward to Luna’s reaction when she saw them.

When their carriages stopped in front of the house, they noticed another carriage there which looked like it belonged to a noble house.

At first, Ethan thought that this was the Oswald Family’s personal carriage, but the emblem on it didn’t seem to belong to their family’s banner.

The white carriage had intricate designs, and painted on its back was a black eagle with wings spread wide and ready to strike.

Ethan used his outstanding memory to look for a match for the emblem, but he came up with nothing.

He recognized most of the emblem from the Nobles of Eastshire, so he assumed that the emblem belonged to one of those families.

Ethan used his outstanding memory to look for a match for the emblem, but he came up with nothing.

But since he couldn’t find a matching symbol for it, he thought that maybe it was from a new noble family that had recently gained the King’s favor, just like how he became an Honorary Knight of Eastshire.

Right after he descended from the carriage, the door of the house immediately opened, and a few people came out of it.

Luna’s father, Grandfather, and another old man whom he wasn’t familiar with appeared with their wands at the ready.

However, when Philip and Bruce saw Ethan, a look of surprise appeared on their faces.

Luna’s grandfather and father lowered their wands and smiled at the boy, who raised both of his hands in surrender as if to tell them that he had come in peace.

“Luna, someone came to visit you,” Philip called out to his granddaughter, whose head popped out of the door a few seconds later.

When the young lady’s gaze landed on the face of her lover, she immediately ran toward him with a big smile on her face.

Ethan, who hadn’t seen Luna for more than half a year, opened his arms wide and gave her a tight hug.

The two stayed hugging each other for nearly a minute before Joanne’s “ahem!” reached the young man’s ears.

Ethan and Luna, who momentarily forgot where they were, reluctantly took a step back from each other and gazed back at the rest of the people who had stepped out of the carriage.

When Luna saw her best friend, Chloe, a cry of happiness escaped her lips before she went to hug her best friend.

“Nine out of ten,” Joanne muttered as she looked at the angelic beauty, whom she had seen for the first time. “It looks like Ramona has good competition.”

Joanne, who was grading Ethan’s lovers with her own ranking system, narrowed her eyes as her gaze locked on Luna’s chest, which was bigger than Chloe’s.

Catherine, who also saw Ethan’s second lover, couldn't help but look at her with eyes filled with approval and satisfaction.

Luna was the person who had helped Ethan unlock his dormant powers, allowing his destroyed Magic Circuits to function at their minimum capacity.

Just as Ethan was about to introduce his mother and sister to Luna and her family, he felt someone hug him from behind, which made his Tidebringer Legacy react instinctively.

He didn’t need to turn around to know who was hugging him from behind.

His body recognized her instantly, which surprised him in a pleasant way.

“Lilian,” Ethan said softly as he turned around to look at his cute lover, whose powers resonated with his own.

“Ethan,” Lilian smiled as she placed her hands on his shoulders before standing on tiptoe to give him a quick peck on the lips.

“It’s nice to be young,” Philip commented as he looked at the scene in front of him, making Luna’s Father nod in agreement.

Luna’s other family members had also come to see what was happening outside of their house. To their surprise, they saw the young man whom they hadn’t seen in a while.

“Everyone, sorry for coming unannounced,” Ethan said while holding Lilian’s hand. “I wanted to surprise Luna, but it seems that there is also a surprise waiting for me here.”

He then glanced at Lilian, who looked back at him with a sweet smile on her face.

“Well, it will be best if you come inside for now,” Luna’s grandmother, Rhea Oswald, stated. “Let’s talk over some tea and snacks.”

Ethan nodded and led his entourage inside the Oswald Residence.

After the renovation of their house, the living room had become more spacious, allowing Ethan’s group to sit comfortably as they were being served tea and snacks by the family, who had recognized him as Luna’s fiance.

When everyone had settled in, Ethan introduced his mother and sister to the Oswald Family.

He also stated the purpose of his visit, which earned him a few weird looks from Luna’s family, including the Old Man who seemed to be Lilian’s grandfather.
