Chapter 447 Private Dinner With The Grand Archmage Of Eastshire

Somewhere in the Palace…

“Our special guests have already arrived in the castle,” Edmond said to the person seated beside him. “Shall we proceed as planned?”

“Might as well,” the King of the Eastshire Kingdom, King Austen, replied.

“Good. I’ll send them an invitation after dinner. We moved the event for two days just for this surprise you prepared, after all.”

“I am looking forward to seeing their performance.”

An hour later…

“Sir Ethan, the Grand Archmage, Lord Edmond, has invited you to have dinner with him in a private room,” Mary said. “Will you accept this invitation?”

“Mmm,” Ethan replied as he lazily propped himself up from the bed.

Looking at the clock on the wall, he noticed that it was already five in the afternoon, and he had been asleep for nearly three hours.

‘I still feel tired,’ Ethan thought before yawning. ‘Luna and Lily should have held back earlier.’

After getting eaten by his lovers for breakfast, Ethan didn’t have enough time to rest before having to leave with Nicole to reach the Capital City of Wisteria on time.

But the Grand Archmage of the Kingdom invited him to a private dinner, so it would be rude to reject the invitation. Ethan could only force himself to stand up in order to prepare before meeting Lord Edmond.

However, Mary suddenly blocked his path and looked at him with a solemn expression on her pretty face.

“Sir Ethan, I’m sorry, but you will need proper attire to meet up with Sir Edmond,” Mary said. “Your current clothes are inappropriate for this meeting.”

Ethan glanced at the mirror in the room, and saw himself wearing jeans and t-shirt, which he usually wore whenever he went out of the academy.

Even he found his current set of clothes inappropriate for the occasion, so he tried to rummage through his storage ring to find more suitable attire to wear.

But before he could find something decent to wear, Mary opened the wardrobe inside his room and took out a set of pants and a black collared shirt with a tie.

“Let me help you dress, Sir Ethan,” Mary said. “It is my duty to assist you.”

“Thank you, Mary, but I can dress on my own,” Ethan said before taking off his shirt.

He then folded it and placed it on top of the bed.

Because he was too focused on folding his shirt, he didn’t notice that Mary had fallen into a daze as she looked at his chiseled body which was oozing with masculinity.

After folding his shirt, he glanced at the maid who still had her mouth wide open and cleared his throat.

“Can you wait outside, Mary?” Ethan asked. “I promise that this will not take long.”

“O-Of course, Ethan,” Mary replied as she walked towards the door.

But as she walked, she gave Ethan one long last glance before finally leaving the room and locking the door behind her.

‘Poor girl. I bet the bar she set for her future husband just got a little higher.’ Sebastian chuckled.

‘She doesn’t stand a chance,’ Ethan’s Other Half replied. ‘I’m guessing she will become more aggressive in offering her services to Ethan now that she has seen the goods.’

‘Now, that is something worth watching.’

‘Just wait. I can tell that she’s that type of girl.’

Ethan, who had no idea what the two people from the peanut gallery were talking about, had already removed his jeans and folded them.

He then placed it on the bed before picking up the black pants that Mary had prepared for him.

‘These pants are quite comfortable to wear,’ Ethan thought. ‘They also fit me perfectly. Did they already know my body size?’

As if to confirm his suspicion, the black collared shirt was also of the right size.

After checking himself in front of the mirror, the only thing left for him to do was to put on his tie and button up his shirt.

But, there was one problem.

He didn’t know how to wear a tie.

“Mary, can you help me with my tie?” Ethan asked.

The door in his room immediately opened as if the maid was waiting for this moment.

She then walked towards Ethan, and helped him tie his knot properly.

After adjusting it, she then carefully buttoned his shirt and used her hands to press on it as if making sure that there were no creases to be seen whatsoever.

Seeing how seriously she was doing her work, Ethan decided to stand completely still until she was finished.

After making sure that his clothes had no problems, she asked Ethan to sit on the chair so that she could properly comb his hair.

“Your long hair is very beautiful, Sir Ethan,” Mary commented. “As a man, I am quite surprised that you are able to care for it properly.”

This wasn’t the first time that someone complimented Ethan’s long hair, which he decided to keep as is after spending more than a year in the lands of Alastor.

Truth be told, he wasn’t doing anything special with his hair, yet it remained silky smooth with a healthy glossy shine.

The reason why his hair was kept in good condition was due to the Tidebringer’s blood that had now fully merged with his own blood.

Not only did it strengthen Ethan’s body, it also improved his physique as well as his good looks.

The Tide Bringer was known as a lady killer.

Just a smile from him was enough for a lady to invite him to her room, which was a common occurrence when he was still in the City of Zentris.

After fixing his hair and tying it up with the Wolf Hair Clip that Lily had gifted him, Mary guided the young man toward the designated place where Lord Edmond was waiting for him.

As he walked inside the hallway of the castle, several men and women, both young and old, glanced in his direction with appraising looks on their faces.

Ethan was already used to being stared at, so he continued to walk at a steady pace, exuding a confidence that he had accumulated from his life experiences.

A few minutes later, he finally arrived at the designated room, where Edmond was waiting for him.

Mary courteously knocked on the door and announced Ethan’s arrival.

“Enter.”

After Lord Edmond’s voice sounded from the other side, Mary opened the door, and moved to the side, making way for the young man to enter the room.

The first one he saw was the old Archmage, who was wearing noble attire, which made Ethan feel thankful that Mary stopped him from going out in his jeans and t-shirt.

Then his eyes wandered to the beautiful young lady with pink hair beside him, which made Ethan arch an eyebrow.

“Who are you?” Ethan asked, making Nicole raise her fist as if threatening him to act properly.

The young man smiled and walked towards the chair that was designated for him.

Truth be told, he was blown away by Nicole’s beauty, which became more pronounced after she dressed accordingly.

This was the first time that Ethan had seen Nicole wear a dress, with her hair styled properly.

In order to hide his brief moment of falling into a daze, he decided to tease her to give him time to recover.

Once he was properly seated, Lord Edmond gestured toward the staff inside the room, signaling them to serve dinner.

This was Ethan’s first dinner inside the Palace of Wisteria, and frankly, he was itching to find out the real reason why the Grand Archmage had invited him and Nicole to dine with him in private.
