Chapter 912: I’d Rather Marry A Stone Than Marry That Pervert
After a private talk with Samantha's parents, Ethan was finally accepted as their future son-in-law.
They couldn't find any fault in him, and even Samantha's younger siblings like him as well.
As celebration, Sandra and Samantha cooked a feast for everyone, which they normally only did twice a year.
Devon was quite happy with his son-in-law, knowing that the latter had been the one who took responsibility for his daughter's incident.
If it were someone else, they might have just treated it as a wonderful memory from their teenage years.
The more he looked at Ethan, the more he felt that his daughter had been lucky that the person who saved her was a handsome young man who had good character and background.
Pleased with Ethan, he even insisted that the two of them drink together, which the young man found very hard to reject.
Growing up, Ethan was banned from touching any alcoholic drinks by his Grandpa and Grandma.
They always told him that he was far too young for that, so he only drank fruit juice.
But seeing that his future father-in-law was genuinely happy and merely trying to bond with him, he relented and accepted a glass of Firewhisky, which made him feel as if his throat was on fire.
The celebration lasted till late in the night, and ended with everyone very satisfied.
"You shouldn't have joined Father," Samantha said softly as he helped Ethan remove his socks and shoes. "He is a strong drinker."
"Y.. Yes," Ethan's face was flushed, and although he felt a little light-headed, he was far from the verge of passing out.
Seeing this side of Ethan made Samantha shake her head helplessly. Clearly, Ethan was a lightweight when it came to drinking.
The only good thing was that he still looked sober on the surface, and the only signs showing that he was drunk was the redness on his face.

Knowing that the two of them had already done it in the past, Samantha's family had no problem with the young man sleeping in their daughter's room.
Of course, Ethan had no intention of doing such a thing while they were there, and Samantha knew it as well.
The young man fumbled to remove his shirt, which seemed to be stuck on his head.
This made Samantha giggle. The usual calm and composed Ethan looked very helpless at the moment.
"I'll do it for you," Samantha said with a smile. "Please hold still."
Listening to his lover, Ethan simply raised his hands and allowed the young lady to take his shirt off.
When that was done, she asked Ethan to stand up for a bit, so she could unbuckle his belt and unbutton his pants.
With only his underwear on, Ethan let himself plop down, but he miscalculated his distance from the bed, so his head bumped on the corner, making him groan in pain.
"No more Fireswhisky for you in the future, Mister," Samantha giggled while helping her lover lay properly on the bed.
"I'm sorry," Ethan said. "I couldn't reject Dad's invitation."
"Don't worry, I'll talk to him tomorrow," Samantha replied as she, too, took off her dress.
After folding her and Ethan's clothes, she then took out a nightgown and pulled it on before laying beside the young man, hugging him under the covers.
Ethan then kissed her forehead and said something that only Samantha could hear.
"Your sister is eavesdropping at the door," Ethan whispered.
"Hah… ignore her," Samantha replied as she buried her head in Ethan's chest.
It had been a while since they spent some time like this together, so she planned to spend the weekend with her family.
She also wanted her parents to get to know Ethan better so that they would know how wonderful he was.
With the alcohol in his system, it didn't take long for Ethan to fall asleep, and Samantha spent her time listening to his breathing and heartbeat.
As someone from Terra Manor, she was gifted with an ability that allowed her to check a person's condition as long as she could touch their bodies.
This was a great ability for diagnosing someone because it could also detect the magic power that flowed inside the person's body.
Her consciousness slipped deeper inside Ethan's body and moved toward his Magic Core.
There, she saw a beautiful Origin Crystal that had blue and red colors, equally split in half.
Samantha sighed in admiration and a little bit of jealousy because she knew that this Origin Magic Crystal didn't belong to Ethan.
Once upon a time, it was her own Origin Magic Crystal that floated at the center of his Magic Circuits, supplying the young man with his magic power.
Faint traces of green could be seen at the walls of the Magic Core, which had been left behind by her own Origin Crystal.
This meant that, although Samantha had now regained her magic, a part of her remained inside Ethan, making her smile.
"I love you," Samntha said softly before planting a kiss on Ethan's cheek.
She then closed her eyes, and slept, feeling the warmth of the young man beside him.

Inside Eques Manor of Brynhildr Academy…
Nicole sat cross-legged inside her room, her eyes firmly closed.
Her face was a little pale, but this wasn't the most striking sight when they entered her room.
The first thing that they would notice was a frozen interior filled with ice crystals.
While Nicole's bed was left untouched, the entire surroundings were now frozen with ice.
A frown appeared on her beautiful face, and a trail of blood spilled at the corner of her lips.
But despite all that, she remained in her position, making the ice around her thicken.
A few minutes later, she collapsed sideways on the bed, unconscious.
Blood spilled on her white sheets, and the ice in her surroundings shattered into countless pieces.
At that moment, a beautiful lady with long red hair appeared inside the room and shook her head helplessly.
"This girl is going to die at this rate," Lady Hecate said before waving her handnto dispel the ice crystals, making them disappear in the blink of an eye.
"She's a stubborn one," Baradiel replied as she propped herself up from the bednand wiped the blood from the corner of her lips.
"Right now, you look like a vampire who just had some blood, you know?" Lady Hecate smirked. "Wipe it properly, or she might freak out when she wakes up."
"So troublesome," Baradiel replied. "Let her wake up seeing it so that she will know the consequences of her actions."
"You haven't changed one bit."
"And you're still being a busybody. You should have married Ashmedai six hundred years ago."
"No, thank you." Lady Hecate shuddered. "I'd rather marry a stone than marry that pervert."
"I'm going to sleep," Baradiel said before laying down on the bed. "Just call me when you find it."
"Fine," Lady Hecate replied before disappearing from the room.
A few minutes later, Nicole opened her eyes and looked at her surroundings in a daze.
When her gaze landed on the full body mirror at the corner of her room, she saw the blood that was spread from the corner of her lips, all the way to her right cheek.
A sigh escaped her lips before she stood up from the bed to head to the bathroom.
Right now, she was feeling numb.
She also knew that sooner or later, she would lose her sense of touch and taste, as she continued to control the Legacy that had turned her heart into a block of ice.
