The Young Master in the Shadows

Chapter 22: The Twins

When Victor entered the dining hall, what awaited him is a table full of all kinds of delicacies, but that is not what grabbed his attention, but the two Twin girls standing nervously next to the table.

The twins were the same age as him, very beautiful with matching red hair and black eyes. They were dressed in black maid dresses.

“Mina, Mana, greet the young master” Hilda ordered the girls who quickly bowed and saluted Victor.

“Hello, young master. We are pleased to meet you,” they said in unison.

Victor stood there in shock, It was not because of their beauty, but because he knew those two.

“Oh, this is trouble, big trouble.” he thought, now he gets it, “It has something to do with them, It must be Him.”

Victor quickly re-assumed his persona of a perverted young master and began to inspect the girls with perverted eyes.

“Not bad,” he said, “a meal with beauties was worth the delay,”

He swaggered into the room, to the head of the table, where Lily quickly helped him pull a chair so he can sit down as a noble young master.

“Since this is my first meal in the house, I will allow all of you to sit and eat with me, I have some questions I want to ask,” he said, watching Lily who began to fill his dish.

Hilda and the twins looked at each other, then following a nod from Hilda they sat at the table and joined the meal.

He tried to use his appraisal on the Twins but there was no response, they are not PLAYERS yet.

It seems he had to use his class’s power.

“Troublesome,” he thought and began to eat.

After an award five minutes of silence, Victor who had just finished chewing a juicy piece of meat looked at the twins.

“You two are very beautiful, do you know that,” he asked them, making them lower their heads in shame.

He didn’t wait for an answer to his rhetoric question but glanced at Hilda and questioned her.

“How did you manage to hide their existence from Nick, that guy should come here quite often.” He asked as he inspected the twins. As far as he knows Nick was the perverted type, if he saw the twins, he would not let go of such a prized catch.

Hilda got Victor meant. “I purposefully hid the girls or sent them out to school when young master Nick came here to inspect the mansion,” she said. She was very protective of them.

“Stop calling him young master, that bastard does not deserve it, I am the only young master here, understood?” he berated.

“Yes, young master,” said Hilda. while thinking about a way to appease him.

Victor nodded his head. Then looked at the twins.

“Hilda just said that the two of you go to school, what school?” He asked although already knowing the answer.

Mina looked at her sister then answered,

“Young master..., We went to a normal middle school, but this year we enrolled at the special high school.”

“Oh, I will also attend that school in two months, we will be classmates,” He said with an evil smile then glanced at Hilda, getting two commoner servant girls into the special high school was not an easy task, there are quite a few commoners and non PLAYER students in the school, but most of them either came from some official background or had very high talents, as for who she asked for the seats, he had no idea.

“Did you ask someone in the family for help to enroll them ?” He looked at Hilda and asked.

Hilda shook her head “No, young master, I didn’t need to, It was by their own efforts. They have attempted the school’s exam by themselves and achieved full score,” she answered proudly.

“Not bad,” He thought as he nodded his head in approval.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a sound of a phone rang on the table. Mina quickly fumbled around her pockets and took her phone out, but before she could press reject, Victor’s sound came and surprised her.

“Answer it, with the loudspeaker on,” he ordered.

Mina shook a little, but Hilda’s angry voice woke her up quickly,

“What are you doing. Quickly do as young master ordered,” she told her. Mina hastily set the phone on the table and activated the loudspeaker.

“““ Hello, Mina, It’s me, Tom,””” the youthful voice came from the phone’s speaker.

“Ah, Hi Tom, I am a little busy, is there something?” she asked with a hidden smile on her face.

“““Oh, I just wanted to invite you and your sister to my birthday party tomorrow night, many of our class will be coming, are you available ?”””

Mina didn’t know how to answer, she really wanted to go, but…, so she looked at Hilda who looked in turn at Victor.

Victor gets it now, He could construct an approximate image of what happened in here in his past life, Hilda most likely sent The girls to the birthday party to avoid Nick’s inspection, but something happens in the mansion late that night, maybe after the girls returned. It must be Tom.

Victor knew him well and he is very troublesome.

Back then, when Victor entered school, the twins were inseparable from Tom, and they did not seem to have the servant mark on them.

For erasing the mark they would probably need a master seal, and Nick has one.

He has to tread carefully now, He has two choices, one to let the girls go and be Tom’s, or fix them to be his. and if chose to fix them, can he do it?

“““ Mina, are you listening? It is in the flying dragon restaurant, downtown, will you come ?”””

Victor looked at Mina who had been looking at him with pleading eyes and nodded that she may go. “Let’s play this softly.” He decided.

So with a smile blooming on her face, she answered “Yes, we will be there, now I have to go. take care.” then saying that, she hung up.

But before she can thank the young master he interrupted

“I will go with you tomorrow, I want to see the city,” He said with a smirk.

The twins’ faces turned white,

“I want to experience the world of commoners for once. So tomorrow we should shop for some gifts, we can’t go empty-handed.” He said Arrogantly.

with that, the twin’s faces regained some color. “At least he is not unreasonable.”

…

Victor soon finished his meal and stood up,

“Now I am going to sleep, and you girls will accompany me tonight. Guide me to my room.” He said.

The girls were frightened, they have already seen this coming, but still, this is going too fast.

Even Lily looked at Victor with strange eyes.

Hilda sighed secretly, then stepped forward and signaled Victor to follow her. While the twins began to shake with an anxious look on their faces.
