Chapter 203: Hoping Beyond Hope

Before starting his tale, Ethan went to look for the Prefect of Dud Manor, Henry, and told him that he was still tired from his journey and thus couldn’t join them for the party they planned to hold for his return to the academy.

Henry apologized to Ethan because he should have allowed him to rest before proposing to hold a party. Because of this, he said that he would delay the party for a day or two until Ethan was feeling better.

“Thank you, Sir Henry,” Ethan said. “And sorry.”

“How many times must I tell you to stop calling me Sir Henry?” Henry shook his head helplessly. “Just call me Henry, okay?”

Ethan smiled bitterly. “I will try.”

“Good.” Henry patted Ethan’s shoulder. “Spend some time with Chloe and Luna. Those two really had a rough time while you were gone.”

Ethan responded with a nod and returned to his room.

Luna and Chloe were currently seated on his bed, waiting for him to tell them everything that happened after he and Lily entered the Nexus.
