The Incubus System Chapter 285. Graduation and Prom

Ethan's PoV

05.13 PM

I moved my feet quickly from the bathroom to my room. I didn't even bother to wrap my bottom part with my towel anymore since my time was narrow. After I defeated those Parasite Demons and confessed my identity to Diamond, she agreed to be my loyal partner. Unfortunately, she had a meeting coming up so I hadn't given my explanation to her. Surprisingly she didn't demand it either.

"Celia, they will pick us up in 15 minutes," I reminded her. My hand moved to dry my hair with the towel.

Celia had occupied the bathroom for almost an hour before moving to her room, but she had not finished her makeup yet. Previously, I had asked her to dress up in her room, but she said the bathroom's lighting was the best for doing makeup. She even didn't let me into it since she was afraid the splashing water from the shower would ruin her makeup equipment. In the end, she came out of there around 05.00 PM and she still was not done yet.

After I entered my room, I tossed my towel into my chair and opened my cellphone's screen lock. A picture of a guy in a nice suit was on the screen. I snapped my fingers and in an instant, the dark aura that enveloped my body formed a nice suit similar to that picture. I walked to the mirror to fix my hair and checked my appearance one more time.

"Perfect!" I grinned in satisfaction.

I took my towel, pocketed my cellphone and walked out of the room to put it back in the bathroom. Again, as my feet moved, I shouted.

"Celia, are you finished yet?"

"Five more minutes," she answered. Foxy, Yuffy and Luna had already gone to the hotel with Ivy and Maria. They said Pearl needed them to set up the party so there were only two of us in this house.

After I put my towel in the bathroom, I decided to go into her room.

"C'mon. We'll be late," I said in annoyance. My eyes looked at Celia who checked her appearance in the mirror above her desk. A simple off-shoulder dress in fuchsia wrapped around her body. Her hair was half braided with a little flower as a compliment.

"Okay, I'm done," she said. Her hands tidied up her makeup equipment that was scattered on the desk into a small bag. Her eyes remained on the mirror, making sure there was nothing wrong with her appearance.

But instead of my voice, the sound of a car engine that stopped in front of our house answered her.

"C'mon, our ride is here," I said impatiently.

"Wait a second." It took a few seconds before she was satisfied with her appearance and came to me in a hurry.

"What took you so long?" I complained as our feet moved down the stairs. She got ready an hour earlier than me, yet I finished earlier than her.

"Hey, don't complain. If I can change my clothes with my skill just like you. I wouldn't have taken this long," she retorted. Her hand opened the shoe cabinet. Her eyes searched for the heels that matched her dress and took them.

"I told you, Emma and Olivia have prepared a dress for you," I said again. I snapped my fingers again and a pair of formal shoes already covered my feet.

"But that doesn't mean I can go there in casual clothes, right?" she glared at me with a pout. Her hands quickly put her heels on.

I swallowed my complaint since what she said was right. Still, one-hour preparation was too long for me. Quickly, we got out, locked the house and walked to a white luxury car that was waiting in front of my house.

"Good evening, Mr Ethan, Miss Celia," the chauffeur greeted politely as we got into the car. His voice sounded familiar and I recognized him immediately. Ian.

"Good evening, sir," we replied. My hand closed the car door. After I freed them from my Devil's Puppet skill, Camila and Ivy decided to hire them as chauffeurs as well as Camila's bodyguards.

"I'm Ian, your driver. There are some soft drinks in the cooler box and some snacks in the compartment to keep you company." His words made us turn to a grey box in the middle of where Celia and I sat.

"I will take you to the Hotel now. Please enjoy your ride," said Ian again with a smile. His eyes looked at us through the rearview mirror. I could hardly believe he was the same person who threatened me two weeks ago.

"Thank you."

After that, he started the car.

"Brother, I have to tell you something," said Celia as our car started moving.

"What is it?"

She took out her cellphone from her purse and typed something there before showing me the screen.

"The school has announced my grade via their website."

I took her cellphone. My sight was on the screen and my finger scrolled down the website to check it out. My smile started to appear and my eyes moved side to side to read it. Although those were not the perfect scores, she did her best and her grades were more than enough to pass.

"Congratulations." I returned her cellphone. We only needed to prepare for her graduation. Since no adult relative could accompany her, I would come as her guardian. Well, it was better since no one came when I graduated a year ago. It was kinda sad. Especially since I was the best graduate, but no one accompanied me when I went up to the stage.

She took her cellphone and put it back in her purse.

"Um... Brother, about my prom night..." she said in hesitation.

'Of course, prom night. How could I have forgotten about that?' I skipped my prom night last year since I didn't want to attend it. At that time, we just lost our father. There was no way I could dance around and have fun in such messy thoughts.

"We need to buy a new dress for your prom. How about tomorrow afternoon? After that, we have dinner with Tiffany." A better idea crossed my head.

"Or we can invite Tiffany to come with us." It would help Celia to choose her prom dress easier.

"Thank you, brother. But that's not the case..."

"Then what is it?" I asked with a frown.

"I don't have a prom date," she said in a grim tone.

'Oh, yes. I forgot about that too.' After she broke up with Bern, not a single man dared to approach her since they knew Bern still liked Celia. And with Bern's bad temper, who dared to do it as long as he hadn't let her go.

"Should I come as your date?" I brought my face close to her ear.

"Maybe as Damian? We can say I'm your distant cousin," I gave her a better idea. Some schools were allowed to bring a relative as a substitute for a prom date. As long it was not as close as a brother, her friends shouldn't be mocking her. So why not? After all, we were a real couple.

"Thank you, brother," she said in excitement.

"Just tell me when." I was glad she liked my idea.

An awkward smile began to appear on her lips.

"It's the day after tomorrow..."

"What?! Why did you just tell me?" I said in surprise.

She pouted. The tips of her index fingers poked at each other repeatedly in front of her chest and she looked at me in the puppy's eyes look.

"You've been busy studying for your exams lately and---" She glanced at Ian, making sure he was concentrating on the wheels before she returned her gaze to me.

"--- busy with your 'night activities'. So I decided to tell you after your exams are over," she said in a lower voice.

"Besides, I already have the shop list," she added.

"But you should have told me from the start." Even though her reason made sense, it would be better if we made a schedule in advance. Well, this wasn't a big deal for me, so I would let it slide. A breath came out of my mouth.

"Just make sure you don't miss anything tomorrow."

And she answered me with a nod.

Note: The Dark Dimension Arc will start two-three days after the Dinner is over (after Celia's prom). I will deepen Damian's Generals' personality there. For now, I will deepen Damian's relationship with all of his partners before he leaves.
