Chapter 331 Duds Can’t Ride Broomsticks

The train finally came to a stop, and a few minutes later, Ethan stepped into the train station with a sigh of relief.

If not for the fact that his lovers were with him during the journey, he might have been bored to death since there were limited things one could do on a train, and it took them two days to get to their destination.

The name of the town they were currently at was Pewter Town, and it was the closest town that borders the Oswald Barony.

Chloe and Emma, who had also stepped into the station, shared Ethan’s sentiments.

Only Luna didn't seem affected because she was already used to traveling like this.

Just as they were deciding if they should use their broomsticks or get a carriage, Luna noticed two individuals who were walking in their direction with big smiles on their faces.

“You’re finally here, Luna,” a man, who seemed to be in his mid-forties, said as he hugged the angelic beauty. “I missed you so much.”

“I missed you too, Father,” Luna replied as she hugged her father back.

After a minute, the two finally let go of each other. The middle-aged man looked at Ethan and the two ladies beside him before breaking out with a grin.

“You must be Chloe and Emma,” Luna’s Father, Bruce said with a smile. “Luna wrote about the two of you in her letters. Now, shall we all go? I prepared a carriage.”

Bruce held his daughter’s hand, leading her away.

Chloe giggled because Bruce didn’t even bother to mention Ethan’s name, which she found quite funny.

Clearly, Luna’s father intended to ignore him and not recognize him as his daughter’s boyfriend.

The man who had accompanied Bruce was one of Luna’s older brothers, Dennis.

He shot Ethan a glare before following behind his father and sister. Similar to Bruce, he had no plans of recognizing Ethan as his sister’s boyfriend.

Ethan had already expected that he would be receiving this kind of treatment, so he wasn’t too bothered by it. He decided to play along for now until they reached Luna’s home.

When they arrived at the place where the carriages were stationed, Bruce pointed at one of them and glanced at Ethan.

“Ride that one,” Bruce ordered.

Ethan obeyed and walked in the direction of the carriage. When Chloe and Emma were about to follow him, Bruce called out to the two of them.

“It will take an hour before the carriage reaches our house,” Bruce stated. “why don't we all just fly to get there? That will shorten the journey by about ten minutes.”

“B-But what about Ethan?” Chloe asked.

“He’s a Dud, no?” Bruce replied. “Duds can’t ride broomsticks.”

Chloe was about to argue that Ethan had the Wind Dancer, but before she could even say anything, Emma lightly tapped her shoulder, catching her attention.

“Go with them,” Emma whispered. “I’ll go with Ethan. It will be better if we do it like this to diffuse the tension a bit.”

Chloe reluctantly nodded her head before giving Ethan a glance.

Similar to Emma, the handsome young man only nodded his head as a way of telling Chloe that everything was fine.

“How about you, young lady?” Dennis asked Emma. “Are you coming with us?”

The Assistant Librarian was dressed in her usual boorish attire, making her look less attractive than she usually did.

Dennis was simply asking her because she was one of his sister’s friends and didn’t want her to suffer like Ethan.

“I’ll be riding with him,” Emma replied. “Thank you for the offer.”

Without another word, she walked toward the carriage where her Master was currently at.

Dennis shrugged and summoned his broomstick, ready to fly to the sky.

Half a minute later, the four people took off to the skies, and headed for the Oswald Barony.

Luna was currently riding with Chloe, and the latter was following behind Luna’s father, who was flying toward the Northeast.

Dennis flew behind Chloe’s broomstick so that he could catch her just in case something happened. All the men in the family were overprotective of Luna, making Chloe smile despite feeling annoyed that Ethan was being treated harshly.

Meanwhile, inside the carriage, Emma was enjoying her alone time with Ethan.

She didn’t mind even if it would take the carriage two hours to reach their destination. In fact, she wouldn’t mind if it took longer than an hour.

The Assistant Librarian was currently holding Ethan’s hand and resting her head on his shoulder.

After the night that they spent alone together, their relationship had become close enough for them to act intimate like this whenever it was only the two of them.

“Ethan, do you want my help with Luna’s parents?” Emma asked.

“No need,” Ethan replied. “I will get their approval myself.”

“Master, remember this. Fathers are overprotective of their daughters, as mothers are to their sons,” Emma stated. “If you can make Luna’s mothers your ally, you are already half a step away from victory.”

The handsome young man smiled after hearing Emma’s words. It was the same thing that his Other Half had told him a while ago.

Instead of forcing himself to get along with Luna’s Father and Brothers, he must aim for the people who could become his ally instead.

As long as he was able to impress Luna’s two mothers, they would do everything in their power to make their family members accept him as well.

Of course, there was also Luna’s Grandmother and Grandfather, but just like how Ethan didn’t want to get chummy with Luna’s Grandfather, who undoubtedly hated him, he would just rub shoulders with her Grandmother.

He had already asked Luna about what kinds of things the ladies of the Oswald Family liked, and he already bought all of them when they went shopping in Limeburgh Town.

To his surprise, Luna’s two mothers and her grandmother liked chocolates.

Because of this, he bought every brand of chocolate that he could find, nearly emptying the stock of all the shops in Limeburgh Town.

Fortunately, Luna and Lily were with him, so they prevented him from buying every chocolate that he saw on the store shelves.

Just to be on the safe side, he also prepared a few things like accessories, since almost all ladies had a thing for them.

As for Luna’s Father, Grandfather, and brothers?

Of course, he also prepared a simple gift for Luna’s Father, Grandfather, and brothers.

Even though he was certain that they would reject them, it was the thought that counts.

An hour later, the carriage finally arrived at the Oswald Family Home, where the real battle was about to begin.
