Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

"Were you scared?" Samantha asked, while holding Ethan’s hand. "If I were in your shoes, I would have been very scared.’

"I was," Ethan replied. "It was a very nerve-wracking experience."

Samantha sighed. "I can’t imagine what would have happened to you if the Appraising Stone didn’t detect any fluctuation of magic inside your body. Fortunately, you were revealed as a Dud.

"If you had been detected as an Ordinarius, things might have ended differently for you. You got really lucky, Ethan."

Ethan nodded. "Yes. I got very lucky."

He then showed the young lady the black bracelet on his wrist.

"Back then, I wasn’t aware that this bracelet saved me," Ethan said softly. "This bracelet emits a faint pulse of magic power. That was the only reason I managed to pass the appraisal test."

Ethan then took the bracelet off his wrist, and handed it to Samantha.

"It has been my good luck charm for the past year that I’ve been in Brynhildr Academy," Ethan stated. "I’ve given all my lovers matching rings, but I still haven’t given you anything. Since I want you to have something very personal and very important to me, I will give you this bracelet."

"I-I can’t take this," Samantha’s face turned beet red as she looked at the black bracelet on the palm of her hand. "This holds sentimental value to you."

"And that’s why I want you to have it," Ethan answered. "If not for this bracelet, I might not have been able to stay in Brynhildr Academy. This bracelet has allowed us to meet, so please, take it."

Samantha pondered a bit before reluctantly nodding in agreement.

"Can you help me put it on?" Samantha asked.

"Of course." Ethan smiled.

The young man placed the bracelet on Samantha’s right wrist, making the young lady look at it as if it was an engagement token.

She truly felt touched, knowing that she was given something Ethan possessed ever since he arrived in the academy.

It had weathered many storms alongside the young man and witnessed his magical journey.

"I’ll treasure it." Samantha promised.

"And I’ll treasure you," Ethan replied. "So that you can live happily ever after."

Samantha had already been blushing earlier, but now her face had become a shade redder.

She then gazed at Ethan for a minute before closing her eyes.

Seeing her invitation, Ethan lowered his head and kissed her soft lips.

It didn’t end there, and the two shared three more kisses before Ethan pulled back.

"Ethan, although I don’t know if my parents will agree to me becoming your ninth wife, I just want you to know that I won’t let you go," Samantha stated. "You said you’re going to give me a happily ever after, so I am holding you to your word."

"I have no intention of letting you go," Ethan replied. "If worse comes to worst, I’ll just kidnap you."

"Really?"

"Really."

Samantha leaned her head on Ethan’s chest, feeling something warm spread inside her chest, making her feel giddy with happiness.

"Ethan…"

"Yes?"

"Please convince my parents by hook or by crook."

"Leave it to me, Princess."

A few hours later, they finally arrived at Samantha’s hometown, which reminded Ethan of the Oswald Barony where Luna and her family lived.

The two rented a carriage and traveled for half an hour before finally arriving at their destination.

Although they could have arrived faster by flying, Ethan wanted to prepare himself for his eventual meeting with Samantha’s parents, so he decided to take a carriage, increasing their travel time.

Ethan and Samantha stood at the door of a simple cottage, which looked like just about every other door in the countryside.

The two teenagers glanced at each other before Samantha took a step forward and knocked on the door.

"Mom, Dad, it’s me!" Samantha shouted.

The young man heard the sound of hurried footsteps on the other side of the door, which was enough time for him to put the most amiable smile on his face.

A few seconds later, the door opened, and a pretty woman, who looked like Samantha, walked out to hug her daughter.

Aside from the woman, two teenagers visibly younger than Samantha by a few years looked at Ethan with great curiosity.

A girl, who seemed to be around eleven to thirteen years old, blushed when she saw Ethan.

The younger boy, who was right beside her, immediately shouted toward the interior of the house.

"Dad! Samantha brought her boyfriend!" the boy said. "She wasn’t lying in her letter!"

A middle-aged man with short black hair emerged from the house and gave Ethan an appraising gaze from head to foot.

"How much did my daughter pay you?" the middle-aged man asked. "I’ll just let you know that we’re poor people, so if you don’t mind, can you return the money to her? I’ll just give you some goat milk and cheese as compensation."

"Big brother, you are very handsome," Samantha’s younger sister said. "How about you dump my big sister and make me your girlfriend instead?"

"Hey, brother, are you rich?" the younger boy asked. "Can you buy me a toy?"

"Samantha, I don’t know where you met this guy, but does he have a younger brother?" Samantha’s mother asked. "Your sister will be going to the academy soon, so how about you introduce his brother to her? Good things must be kept in the family."

Samantha, who had just finished hugging her mom, covered her face with both hands before burying her head in Ethan’s chest due to embarrassment.

Ethan, on the other hand, did his best to hold back his chuckle and simply hugged the young lady in his arms, patting her head to help calm her down.

Seeing this scene, Samantha’s Mom and Dad glanced at each other because they could tell that the two teenagers weren’t faking their relationship.

They had been married for many years and had known their daughter since the day she was born.

Samantha wasn’t someone to show this side of her to other people, especially those who weren’t close to her.

And seeing the young man hold their daughter in an affectionate manner, they finally believed that the guy truly cared for her.

Sebastian and Ethan’s Other Half glanced at each other because they already knew how this would end.

Still, they wanted to see how things would unfold, just in case their prediction ended up being off by a large margin.
