Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

"I pity the girls who'll see you in that attire," the skinny teenager commented. "They will definitely fall head over heels for you."

Cedric nodded his head in satisfaction.

He was confident in his looks, and he also took pride in his skills.

Simply put, he didn't lack confidence. He wanted Luna to see him in a good light and make her understand how much he was way better than her current lover.

Truth be told, he was looking forward to seeing the young man, whom his sister believed to be Luna's fiance.

Although he felt bad about trying to break their relationship, he believed that he was the better man and that he was more suited to become Luna's partner.

Cedric believed that he could make Luna a hundred times happier. All he needed was a chance to show her what he was capable of doing.

"It's time, My Lord," the Chubby Teenager said. "If we delay any further, you might arrive late."

Cedric nodded and walked out of his room. His destination was his sister's personal Villa within Nightfall Academy.

His two subordinates followed behind him with smiles on their faces.

They wanted to see the drama that would unfold.

They also wanted to see how their Young Master would worm his way into the angelic beauty's heart, stealing her from her boyfriend.

The two of them had no doubt in their minds that if their Young Master wanted to have a lady to warm his bed, that lady would not hesitate to do just that.

Although they wouldn't go as far as to say that the lady would take the initiative to spread her legs for their Young Master, they wouldn't be surprised since there were a few in the past who did just that.

Because of this, their confidence in their Master's ability to charm any woman was at its peak, and they were even looking forward to what was about to happen at the candle-lit dinner that their Master's younger sister had arranged.

When Cedric arrived at Lilian's residence, he was pleasantly surprised to find out that he had arrived before her guests.

This allowed him to talk with his sister for a bit and ask her for some information about Luna's lover.

Lilian was tight-lipped, and no matter how much he asked, she would just smile and say, "You'll meet him soon enough."

Because of this, Cedric had no choice but to give up and wait for their guests to arrive.

Fortunately, he didn't have to wait that long.

Five minutes after he arrived, Lilian's servant announced that Ethan and Luna had finally arrived.

Cedric lightly fixed his attire to ensure that everything was perfect. This act made the corner of Lilian's lips curl up.

It was very rare for her big brother to act this way, which proved that he was serious about creating a good impression for the angelic beauty whom he had fallen in love with.

The door of the dining hall opened, and two people walked in.

The smile on Lilian's lips widened the moment her eyes landed on the handsome young man with long blue hair.

Unfortunately, this handsome person she liked was walking hand in hand with an angelic beauty, and the two of them looked like a perfect couple.

Cedric's full attention was locked on Luna's beautiful face. However, when his gaze shifted to her side, the smile on his face disappeared the moment he noticed that Ethan's hands were interlocked with hers.

However, he quickly caught himself and put on the smile that he usually used when at parties hosted by nobility.

"Welcome, Ethan and Luna, to my residence," Lilian said as she walked towards her two guests and gave each of them a hug.

If one were to pay close attention to her actions, they would notice that she had hugged the handsome young man, far longer than she did Luna.

Truth be told, she only planned to shake hands with them in greeting. However, her body moved on her own, and before she knew it, she was already hugging the handsome young man.

The only saving grace was that she quickly regained her composure and moved to hug Luna after hugging Ethan.

"Before we start our dinner, allow me to introduce my brother, Cedric, to both of you," Lilian said with a smile. "Brother, these are my new friends from Brynhildr Academy, Ethan and Luna. I hope you look after them during their stay here in the academy."

Cedric nodded with a charming smile.

"I believe that I met Miss Luna in the garden a day ago," Cedric gave Luna a respectful bow. "Meeting you a second time, I can only call it Fate."

'What a cheesy line, I give him eight points,' Sebastian said.

'Six points from me,' Ethan's Other-Half commented. 'I'm not gonna lie. Although it's cringy, it is still a good line.'

The two were chatting inside Ethan's Sea of Consciousness, and both of them made sure that Ethan heard their discussion.

This made the handsome young man smirk internally because he also found Cedric's line to be cheesy.

——————————————-

Cedric extended his hand to shake hands with Luna.

However, instead of holding the soft and delicate hand of the angelic beauty, what he got was a rough hand that was as large as his own.

"Nice to meet you, Cedric," Ethan said with a smile. "My fiance doesn't really like other men touching her, especially someone she had just met. I hope that you won't mind if I shake your hands in her stead."

'But I do mind!' Cedric thought as he kept the smile on his face. "I see. That is quite unfortunate but understandable."

After shaking Ethan's hand twice, Cedric immediately pulled back his hand. Clearly, he had no intention of holding Ethan's hand for a second longer.

He was very tempted to use a cleaning spell to sanitize his hand. But since he didn't want to be seen as rude, he simply placed his hand to the side of his body and subtly rubbed it against his clothes.

Ethan chuckled in his heart upon noticing this through his peripheral vision, but he pretended that he didn't see anything.

Unlike Cedric, he casually brushed the non-existent dirt on the hand he used to shake the blonde boy's hand on his robe.

This gesture almost made Lilian giggle. She could tell that her brother and Ethan had started their silent war with each other, and she found it quite exciting!

"Well then, shall we all take our seats?" Lilian proposed as she pointed to the round table that was illuminated with candlelights.

"Of course," Ethan nodded as he led Luna to sit beside Lilian.

He then sat beside Luna, making the angelic beauty sit between him and Lilian.

The corner of Cedric's lips twitched as he watched them sit, but he did his best to keep the smile on his face.

Originally, he did think that Luna's fiance would be handsome. But it never crossed his mind that the hateful guy would be on par with him when it came to good looks!

Still, he was confident that he surpassed Ethan in other matters, so he acted as a proper host and waited for their meal to be served.

Even so, he was unable to stop himself from looking at the angelic beauty that was right in front of him.

Although Luna was wearing the robes of Brynhildr Academy, which covered the curves of her body, it was not enough to hide her beauty.

Sensing his gaze, Luna glanced in his direction for a brief moment before averting her gaze.

She was already used to receiving these kinds of stares in Brynhildr Academy, so this only confirmed the words that Ethan had spoken earlier.

Ethan observed this exchange with a smile. He was also wondering what Cedric would do to catch Luna's attention.

Nicole had warned him to be civil, and he had no intention of being rude.

But deep inside, he wanted to see what kind of strategy Cedric would use in order to try and impress Luna.

The handsome young man wanted to see if he could learn a trick or two from Lilian's brother, who was doing his best to not stare at his beautiful fiance.

He wasn't born a noble, so he wasn't aware of the subtle arts of seduction.

Sebastian and his Other Half, who were currently paying attention to this scene inside his Sea of Consciousness, were making bets with each other.

Both were betting on when Ethan would lose his composure during the meal.

This made the handsome young man give them the middle finger under the table, making the two beings, who were both his greatest allies and greatest critics, chuckle inside his head.
