Chapter 247 Starting A Relationship From Scratch
“I apologize for all the troubles that I have brought upon you, Luna,” Lilian said as she gave Luna an apologetic bow. “From now on, I will do my best to protect you from my older brother.”
Luna looked at the beautiful young lady with a complicated look on her face. She then glanced at Ethan and saw the bitter smile on his face.
“Understood,” Luna replied. “I forgive you, but what do you mean by saying you’ll do your best to protect me from your older brother?”
Lilian raised her head and sighed. “My brother has fallen in love with you. Knowing his personality, he won't give up even after Sir Ethan beat him in a duel. He might look calm and collected and only make rational decisions on the outside, but in reality, he is a very stubborn person. I am certain that he will not stop anytime soon in trying to court you.”
Luna frowned after hearing Lilian’s reply. She didn’t expect to hear that Cedric would still persist to try and break her relationship with Ethan in an attempt to make her his girlfriend.
“Then why did you say that you will do your best to protect me from your older brother?” Luna inquired. “Aren’t the two of you family? Why would you side with me?”
Lilian gave the handsome young man a sidelong glance before answering Luna with a slight blush on her face.
“Because from now on, you and I are going to be sisters,” Lilian replied. “I decided to become Sir Ethan’s fiance as well. However, he told me that I would need to get your approval, as well as the approval of his two other lovers before he agrees to make me his lover. Luna, can you please accept me as one of your sisters?”
Luna finally understood why Lilian was doing her best to leave a good impression on her. Since the young lady wanted to get her approval, she even went as far as to tell her that she would do everything in her power to protect Luna from her older brother, Cedric.
“I forgive you for what you did in the past,” Luna said after careful consideration. “However, when it comes to becoming Ethan’s lover, I’m sorry, but I cannot give you an answer right now. Give me some time to think about it.
“But I will promise you one thing. Before we leave Nightfall Academy to return to Eastshire, I will give you my answer.”
Lilian, who first thought that Luna would outright reject her advances on Ethan, sighed in relief. The angelic beauty’s words implied that she still had a chance to convince the former with her sincerity.
“Understood.” Lilian nodded. “I will wait for your answer. In the meantime, I will prove to you that I am deserving of becoming Sir Ethan’s fiance as well.”
The young lady then walked towards Luna and offered her hand for a handshake.
“Although I know that it will be difficult, I would like to start our relationship again from scratch,” Lilian said softly. “I hope you will give me this chance, Luna.”
Luna nodded and shook Lilian’s hand, making the latter smile.
A moment later, Lilian walked towards Ethan and hugged him. She then buried her head in his chest and closed her eyes in contentment.
This act surprised Luna. Although she knew that Lilian was bold, she didn’t think that she would be this bold.
She still hadn’t approved of her as Ethan’s fiance, and yet, the young lady was already acting like she was one.
Ethan, on the other hand, simply stood still and didn’t make any move to return Lilian’s hug.
Even so, Lilian was already happy that the handsome young man didn’t push her away. She understood that he couldn’t act intimate with her since Luna still hadn’t approved of her, and that was fine.
She had no intention of backing down, and she was confident that she would be able to win Luna’s approval, as well as the approval of Ethan’s other fiancees, whom she still had yet to meet.
A few minutes later, she left the room with a satisfied smile on her face.
When she was certain that Lilian had truly left the residence, Luna looked at Ethan with a smile. It was sweet, yet it made the young man feel as if he was about to get eaten.
“I can tell that Lilian is a prideful girl,” Luna said as she walked towards Ethan. “Tell me, what did you feed her for her to become this submissive to you?”
“I didn’t feed her anything,” Ethan replied in a helpless tone. “It’s just—her Origin Magic resonated with me, making her very attracted to me.”
Luna frowned because she didn’t understand what Ethan was talking about.
In order to prevent any misunderstandings from happening, the handsome young man held the angelic beauty’s hand and pulled her towards the couch, and made her sit on his lap.
He then told her everything that had happened without omitting anything.
After listening to his explanation, a look of understanding appeared on Luna’s face.
“So that’s why she wants to become your fiance,” Luna nodded. “That is also the reason why you do not push her away. It now makes perfect sense.”
“Are you angry with me?” Ethan asked.
Luna shook her head. “No. But I’m a little envious of her. Her Legacy Magic and your Legacy Magic are a perfect match. If the incident with Cedric hadn’t happened, I would even encourage you to make her your fiancee.
“Ethan, remember this, Chloe, Lily, and I only want the best for you. If allowing Lilian to join us will benefit you, I will not oppose it. I’m just feeling a bit envious that my Origin Magic isn't as good as hers.”
“What are you talking about?” Ethan asked as he pulled Luna closer to him and kissed her forehead. “If not for you, I wouldn’t have been able to awaken my Magic. You are the one who unlocked my potential and helped me understand what it is like to fall in love.
“Also, don’t sell yourself short. The moon affects the rise and fall of the tides, which means that your power also plays a role in my Legacy Magic. Although it is not yet proven, I believe this to be true.”
Luna smiled before nodding her head. She then cupped Ethan’s face and held his gaze.
“Ethan, just promise me one thing,” Luna said softly.
“Anything for you,” Ethan replied.
“Promise me that you will embrace me first before you embrace Lilian,” Luna stated.
Ethan smiled. “Do you want to do it now?”
He asked this question in a teasing manner, and yet, Luna’s face instantly turned beet-red after his proposal.
She was half-tempted to say yes, but she didn’t want to do it in a place where her Older Brother, their schoolmates, and Professor Barret were nearby.
All of them were currently living under the same roof, and Luna wouldn’t be able to look at them with a calm expression on her face if they found out that she had made love with Ethan right under their nose.
Seeing her flushed expression, Ethan couldn’t help but chuckle. This made Luna playfully hit Ethan’s chest with her closed fist in order to stop him from laughing.
“Just promise me,” Luna said with a beet-red face.
“Okay, I promise,” Ethan replied.
The two then stared at each other for a few seconds before sealing their promise with a kiss.
Ethan wasn’t in a hurry to become one with Lilian. After all, they had just met. He wanted to get to know her better and strengthen their bonds first.
More than anything, he wanted Lilian to get the approval of Chloe, Luna, and Lily first.
As long as his three lovers agreed, then he would also accept the young lady to become one of his fiancees, whom he would love and protect for the rest of his life.
