5.51% Why Should I Stop Being a Villain / Chapter 25: Getting in the mansion

Capítulo 25: Getting in the mansion

Asher and the twins arrived at the Greville Estate. They were both amazed by the huge mansion. On the way to the mansion, they passed through the lands of the Greville family and saw multiple gardens and other attractions that created a feeling of calm and serene environment. They noticed that, despite the estate being large and spacious, the security was tight and did not allow any kind of trespassing.

Livia had her mouth open the whole time. The small girl sprang up on the seat with her knees bent and stared at everything they drove past on the way to the mansion. It seemed that she had forgotten about Asher's presence. Lucas was also excited to see such things, but he kept to himself and only stared out the window from his seat.

At some point, Livia finally snapped back to reality and looked back at her own actions. She became embarrassed and started fidgeting with her fingers. 'Oh god! They will think of me as an unruly girl now...' her thoughts were racing, not even realizing that the car had stopped and they had reached their destination.

They arrived at the mansion and Asher got out of the car with Lucas, leaving the embarrassed Livia in Emmy's care. Lucas was happy to see his sister showing so much emotion. Even though Lucas tried to provide everything for her health and well-being, not having a parent figure and his absence for long periods of time had dulled her emotions significantly.

She used to be very energetic when she was young, but after their mother's early death and her own illness with an unknown disease at the age of 6, it had taken a lot out of her. She was only able to stay home and, not knowing where Lucas was for days at a time, thoughts of losing her only brother and being all alone crossed her mind often. However, she was unable to even get out of bed to help Lucas.

"Emmy, take both of them for a bath and have them changed into clean clothes. Assign a maid to them and tell her to treat them as if they were treating me." Asher walked towards his room, leaving the twins with Emmy, who was taking them to guest rooms on the first floor.

Many servants were surprised to see the twins and their eye color. Random thoughts crossed their minds, but nobody voiced them. They were experienced workers and knew that careless words could cost them their lives. Emmy assigned two maids to take care of the twins and warned them to serve the twins carefully and tolerate no rudeness.

Lucas and Livia were wearing dirty white T-shirts and black shorts. Their appearance was also not clean. Livia's hair was a mess and Lucas had a lot of small wounds on his stomach and back. Although there were some scars, unless they were caused by an attack powered by mana, they could be healed with special potions.

The maids took them to a huge circular bath and gave them new underwear to wash them properly. Lucas was a bit embarrassed to be washed by others in his underwear, but he did not complain. Livia, on the other hand, was staring at the huge bath with her mouth open while the maid was washing her hair.

She still could not believe what had happened to her and Lucas. She was scared of being in this new place, which was so big and beautiful, even better than her dream castle, but her innocent excitement took over her fears.

"Woow!" She opened her mouth at the sight of the luxurius bath.

Some of the shampoo fell into her mouth and she made a weird face, which made Lucas and the other maid washing him start chuckling. Seeing their reaction, Livia was again embarrassed. The sheer number of times her face had turned red today was more than in her whole life.

After a good bath, their faces could be seen more clearly now. For now, they were given Asher's and his sisters' old clothes to wear. Asher had already told them that he would take them shopping after today. Although the clothes were old, they still seemed too soft and expensive to the twins. It was the summer season in Soran.

Asher came out of his room and changed into more comfortable clothes. He called the twins downstairs to give them a little tour of the mansion so they could get familiar with their new surroundings. He saw the kids coming down with Emmy.

After a good bath and changing their clothes, their inherited attractiveness was already showing. Lucas inherited his father Ivar's facial features, and he also looked like Lucas when he was young. Asher had seen various pictures of Ivar in the family album and he could already see the similarities. Livia also looked very cute in her white hoodie and pants, and she seemed to take after her mom. Just by looking at her, you could imagine how beautiful their mother was.

"Both of you look good now. Do you want to take a tour?" Asher told them.

Livia was still a little bit uncomfortable with his indifferent look, but she nodded at his question nevertheless. She was holding on to Emmy, and her crimson red eyes seemed to stand out on her pale face. Emmy took Livia in her arms, although Livia wanted to say she would like to walk, she allowed Emmy to carry her like a small child all around. But her cheeks were still red.

Lucas wore a branded T-shirt and trousers that complemented his looks quite a bit. He and Livia followed Asher as he introduced the ground floor to them. He introduced the large kitchen with many chefs who were preparing dishes for them. Asher signaled for them to give the kids some snacks. He took them to various rooms, each with its own purpose. It took them 20 minutes to see the various places in the manor.

"This place is so big. Even the smallest room is bigger than our house!!" Livia said to Lucas while still admiring it. Lucas just smiled at her. He was a bit worried about her health as she was taxing her body a lot, but he did not stop her.

"Follow Emmy. She will show you your new rooms and will assign some maids to take care of Livia. I will introduce you guys to my parents later," Asher said while patting Lucas's head.

The twins were a bit worried about meeting Asher's parents, but he did say he would let them live with him, so they relaxed a bit. Lucas didn't mind working under Asher as a servant as long as his sister was taken care of.

"You guys can play around a bit and go to sleep. We will meet my parents tomorrow," Asher left them to go to the training ground.

The twins followed Emmy and got to their new rooms. Lucas wanted to stay with Livia, but Emmy convinced him that he could stay with her until night, but he still should get his own room.

"Liv, are you fine?" Lucas was worried as he heard Asher say that she would die by the end of this month. Although he did not know how Asher knew it, he believed him nevertheless.

"Don't worry, I am just a bit tired. But if they try to force you to do anything bad, we can still try and go back to our home," Livia had a little idea about her condition, but she did not want to burden Lucas with it her whole life.

"I know, just get some good sleep," he said, and then left Livia alone to go to his room to sleep.

As Arthur and Sylvie were busy today and would come home tomorrow, Asher decided it would be better to inform them in person about the twins. He would have much more freedom and his actions would go unnoticed when his parents' attention was directed to the twins.

**********************

"Amelia!" a young man called out to a beautiful girl with long black hair tied in a ponytail.

"I have booked our flights, but do you really want those three to come with us?" the young man asked the girl.

"Damian, they were our classmates this semester, and making a connection with Eva Williams and Elena Rothschild doesn't sound bad, does it?" Amelia told him.

"You're inviting them to Asher's party. I don't know if he will like them knowing Kevin's personality, too!" Damian knew that his best friend Asher disliked such people.

"Brother will just ignore them, just like he ignores me as well!" Amelia scoffed, but there was a hint of frustration in her voice.

"His personality is a bit cold, but it doesn't mean he hates you, Amelia," Damian tried to convince her.

"Yeah, yeah... You will support your best friend anyway," Amelia said, and left Damian standing behind, scratching his head and not knowing how to respond to her.

Do you guys want a couple of chapters about the twin's parent past or should I just give it a overview in one chapter only??

Capítulo 26: Introducing Lucas and Livia

Arthur and Sylvie arrived together at the Greville estate after long days of work. "I'm fed up with all this paperwork. It's a waste of my talent," Arthur said while driving his car with Sylvie by his side. He liked driving his own car every once in a while to cure his boredom.

"What a battle freak..." Sylvie sighed.

"What do you mean, 'freak'?" Arthur gave Sylvie a questioning look.

"Whatever. By the way, we need to officially announce Asher as the heir to our family," Sylvie told him.

"Amelia will be a bit upset with this decision, but when she hears about his talent, I hope she'll understand," Arthur spoke.

"Don't worry, she's a smart girl, and I believe in my kids," Sylvie told him, trying to ease his concerns. Although they knew that Asher's cold nature affected Amelia greatly, they still gave both of their children equal love and could only hope that time would reconcile the two siblings.

A white sports car arrived at the Greville estate. Arthur and Sylvie got out and walked towards the common hall. They saw Asher sitting with two kids and were surprised to their core when they saw their eyes and hair.

"Who are these kids?" Arthur asked Asher.

"Oh, hello Dad. Come here and meet Lucas Greville and Livia Greville," Asher told them with a smirk on his face.

Emmy was panicking, seeing Asher and his mischievous words. He had carefully said those words to corner Arthur, who was confused about what was happening. Sylvie was also confused, but she never had any doubts about Arthur's loyalty.

"Asher, can you explain this properly?" Sylvie gave Asher a stern look, indicating that she would not tolerate such jokes.

"They're Uncle Ivar's kids. I found them while looking for something related to my new company," Asher casually lied, confident that Emmy would not reveal his secret.

Before the couple could react...

Boom!

"What happened?" Arthur shouted at the strange explosion that occurred outside.

Something crashed into the garden area of the estate, creating a small crater. A bulky man in his 50s could be seen in the middle of the crater. A voice came from the crater.

"DAMN BRAT! COME OUT AND GET READY FOR AN EMERGENCY TEACHING SESSION !!" Nathan shouted.

"What the hell is that old man doing?" Arthur shouted at the ruined sight of the beautiful garden.

"No! The flowers..." Livia screamed in her mind. She really liked the gardens around the mansion, but one of them had just been destroyed.

"Haahh.... Emmy, get the servants to fix this mess after this," Asher told Emmy while going outside to see the ruckus.

Nathan was wearing his battle suit and with his huge greatsword, he looked like a mighty commander leading a war. His presence alone exuded so much pressure that Asher told Emmy to shield the kids. They were unawakened and such mana pressure could harm them.

Nathan noticed the two kids and took in his pressure to not harm them. But when he saw their eyes, his anger started to emerge and he shouted,

"You cheating scoundrel!! Don't worry Sylvie, I will do my job and end his life," Nathan started walking towards Arthur.

"Who are you calling a scoundrel, you senile old man? They are Ivar's kids, according to Asher," Arthur spoke before Nathan could start his rampage.

Arthur and Sylvie were still shocked by Asher's words and Nathan's expression showed various emotions including shock, grief, and others. Hearing the name of his dead son reignited his memories of the past.

"Asher, will you explain?" Sylvie decided to stop the chaos from escalating further.

Asher told them about how his uncle and Arthur's younger brother Ivar Greville had a lover who got pregnant but didn't know how to convey the news to him. At that time, she received the news of Ivar's death and, in her moment of grief, took her unborn kids and sought refuge outside of Soran. He explained the story that Lucas had told him the day before.

Nathan was silent the whole time and Arthur and Sylvie had sad expressions. Ivar was the youngest person to become an SS Rank Hunter. His talent was even slightly greater than his father and older brother Arthur. The world thought that he would become the youngest to reach SSS Rank within the next 10 years.

But when Asher was around 3 years old, an SS Rank red-gate dungeon was formed in the city of Soran. It was a highly unstable dungeon that could have resulted in a dungeon break. At this time, Nathan and other SSS Rank hunters were clearing the SSS Rank dungeon that appeared in the lost lands. Most of the SS Rank hunters of Somaria, including Arthur, had followed them to clear it.

SSS Rank dungeons were one-time dungeons but if they were not cleared within a certain time, the resulting dungeon break could have caused a lot of destruction in Somaria. Ivar was one of the SS Rank hunters left behind in Soran.

The SS Rank red-gate dungeon had the unbelievable restriction of only allowing one person to enter. There were some other SS Rank hunters in Soran as well, but nobody wanted to undertake what seemed like a suicide mission. If nobody stepped up, the dungeon break would have destroyed a significant part of Soran.

Dungeon breaks were not just monsters getting out. The result of a gate breaking was a huge mana explosion, depending on the rank of the dungeon, and then monsters came out of the space cracks where the dungeon gate was located. In the history of SS Rank dungeons, it was the first time a red-gate dungeon with a restriction limit of "1" appeared. Red-Gate dungeons were also a one time clear dungeons which will dissapear in some hours after the dungeon boss was killed.

Ivar Greville took it upon himself to clear that dungeon and entered, but the boss of the dungeon was a 9-headed SS Rank Hydra. Although Ivar cleared the dungeon, the injuries and poison took his life soon after he exited the dungeon. His right hand was gone, with his skin having numerous purple veins and most of his back having its skin ripped off.

He was hailed as a hero by the Association, but when Nathan and Arthur heard this news, they were devastated. Losing Ivar was a huge blow to the Greville family and the whole world, as he was a talent never seen before. Even though he couldn't beat Nathan's awakening foundation, as he missed it by 5 minutes, his speed of ranking was the highest in the world.

The twins were anxious as no one was talking and the long silence increased their worry. They were worried if they would also be accepted as family, like Asher did. Nathan noticed the twins' anxiety and spoke up.

"Hello, you cute brats. I am your grandfather Nathaniel Von Greville, and also one of the strongest people in the world," he smiled as he introduced himself. Although he was very old, due to his high rank, his aging was much slower than others. He looked like a fit man in his 50s.

"Hello, I am Lucas, and this is my sister Livia," Lucas spoke while Livia just nodded from Emmy's arms.

"Both of you are so cute," Sylvie spoke as she looked at the twins.

Arthur and Nathan then talked further with the twins, telling them about Ivan and how he died heroically. They also noticed that Livia was quite weak and ill, but they thought they would just take her for a checkup tomorrow. Sylvie became attached to Livia and placed her on her lap, stroking her hair. Livia accepted Sylvie's embrace, as she felt quite comfortable with her.

"I need all of your attention!" Asher spoke, stopping the chatting group.

"We need to cure Livia, as she is suffering from mana poisoning, and from the looks of it, it's already in its last stage," Asher told them.

"WHAT?!" Arthur stood up from his seat, and the rest of them were shocked as well.

Mana poisoning meant that a person forcefully ingested a lot of mana in their body. The mana would not pass through the core and, instead, the unrefined mana corrupted the mana veins all over the body. This method usually did boost one's strength and power, but there was no cure for corrupted mana veins.

"Her condition is serious. No doctor can save her now," Asher continued.

"But how did an unawakened being get mana poisoning?" Sylvie asked while looking at Livia, who was sitting on her lap listening to the conversation going on. She was very scared when she heard that no doctor could cure her.

Seeing the panicking Livia, Asher explained the cure before explaining the cause of her disease.

"But we can use our family treasure, the [Rank-SSS Pure Healing Elixir], which was given to us for Uncle Ivar's contribution," Asher explained to them.
