Wizard World Irregular

News of Ethan’s arrival quickly spread far and wide in every corner of Caer Wydion.

Emma’s Raven, Dawn, had already delivered her Master’s letter to Emma’s Mother, Fortuna, that Ethan would be coming to Caer Wydion soon.

The Heads of all the Protector Clans, as well as their Elders, had already been informed of this as well, so they were really looking forward to his arrival.

As everyone made themselves busy in preparation for the feast that would commence in the afternoon and would last for an entire night, Ethan was inside his room. Emma and Lilith were teaching him the names of the important people in Caer Wydion, including the Heads of each Protector Clan.

Ethan listened attentively, not wanting to leave a bad first impression on the people who wouldn't hesitate to lay down their lives for his sake.

After the lecture ended, the young man now had a better grasp of the situation of Caer Wydion.

“Lilith, tonight during the feast, you will accompanyas well,” Ethan said.

“Yes, Master,” Lilith replied. “I will be in your shadow like always, ready to protect you at any time.”

“That’s not what I meant,” Ethan looked at the beautiful Catkin and held her hand. “You will stand by my side, just like Emma. You now understand what I’m trying to say, right?”

Lilith’s eyes widened in shock because she didn’t think that this was what the young man meant.

Now that she fully understood what he was trying to say, she suddenly felt anxious. Although she longed for this, she wasn't sure if she was prepared to be recognized by the other Protector Clans as one of Ethan’s lovers.

She thought that it would take a long tfor Ethan to consider her one of his lovers, so this unexpected talk about accompanying him like Emma to the feast almost gave her a panic attack.

Emma smiled after seeing the beautiful Catkin’s flustered appearance. But, just like Lilith, she was also surprised by Ethan’s declaration.

“Master, I truly appreciate that you now seethat way,” Lilith said softly. “But I’m afraid that my heart is still not ready to face the Heads of the Protector Clans as one of your confidants. Can we keep it a secret for now?”

Perhaps knowing that Lilith was truly not ready to make their relationship public, Ethan nodded his head in understanding.

“Very well,” Ethan agreed. “Let’s keep it a secret until you’re ready.”

“Thank you, Master,” Lilith said before hugging Ethan tightly. “Thank you very much for accepting my feelings.”

Ethan hugged her back and lightly patted her head to calm her down.

“Congratulations, Lilith.’ Emma smiled. “I look forward to working with you to protect Ethan from harm.”

“Yes, you can count on me, Emma,” Lilith replied. “Thank you.”

With that out of the way, the two ladies began mixing and matching clothes that Ethan would wear to the party in a few hours.

When Ethan arrived in Caer Wydion, the closet in his room already had many clothes that were ready to wear.

They were imbued with magic, so they would magically fit whoever wore them.

There were ceremonial clothes, fancy clothes, as well as sclothes that were specially made for a member of the Royal Family to wear.

Emma and Lilith wanted Ethan to wear the princely clothes in the closet, but the young man declined.

In the end, they settled for the ceremonial clothes, which made Ethan look like he was an heir from a High-Ranking Noble Family.

Of course, it didn’t end there. Emma and Lilith asked Ethan to try on almost every piece of clothing in the closet, to which he complied, giving the two ladies a feast for their eyes.

“Well, then. I guess we should really start preparing for the party,” Ethan said after glancing outside of the window of his room.

There were still a few hours before sunset, but he didn’t like the idea of arriving at the last minute.

Emma nodded in understanding before dragging Ethan to the bathroom so that she could do her duties to prepare him for the upcoming party.

Of course, Lilith followed.

The three of them only left the bathroom three and a half hours later, with Ethan looking very satisfied and the two ladies looking very happy as if they had just drank sdelicious fruit juice.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the castle…

Ethan’s sister, Joanne, was looking at the dresses that were scattered on her bed with a critical gaze.

Even if they were blood-related, she didn’t plan on recognizing him as part of their family.

So, she planned to embarrass him in front of everyone and cause a big commotion during the party.

‘I’ll make you regret coming all the way here.’ Joanne smirked as she chose a black, high-neck halter dress, which not only made her look extremely cute but also brought out a villain-like vibe, which she was aiming for.

Although she was only twelve years old, anyone who saw her in that dress would be instantly charmed because of her beauty, which ran in their family.

Even her handmaidens couldn't help but sigh as they helped their Young Miss wear her dress and fix her hairstyle.

Truth be told, all of them were worried because they could tell that Joanne didn’t like Ethan.

That was fine. But since they were about to attend an important occasion, which was being supervised by the four Protector Clans, they couldn’t help but hope that their worst fears wouldn’t cto pass.

After she was properly dressed and her hair had been styled the way she wanted it, Joanne raised her hand, and from her room, a white elephant plushie with large ears flew in her direction.

She caught it and held it in her arms, making the Handmaidens subconsciously shudder.

‘Oh no, this is bad,’ the Head of the Maids, who served Joanne, frowned. ‘The Young Miss is up to trouble.’

So, without delay, she excused herself from the room and rushed to warn the Heads of the Protector Clans that their Young Miss might unleash absolute chaos, while the party was being held.
