The Young Master in the Shadows

Chapter 23: Hug Pillows

The master bedroom was huge, containing a double king-sized bed in addition to a big panoramic window looking onto the superb scenery of the forest below and the city in the distance. It also had a connected master bathroom.

Victor nodded in approval, then ordered the hesitant Hilda to go get the girls ready.

When Hilda left the room, he quickly looked at Lily and asked her to check the room for surveillance. so she quickly performed her task and reported that it was all clear.

And just when he was about to tell her about her next assignment, there was a knock on the door.

Hilda entered followed by two red-haired shaking girls in black silk pajamas. They had unwilling faces and aggrieved eyes.

Victor swallowed his saliva “Not bad” he thought,

But just when he was about to talk to them, he was interrupted again, but this time it was Lily.

“Young master, I want your permission to report to your esteemed mother that you have arrived safely at the mansion,” she said while keeping her eyes on the ground not daring to look at her young master.

Victor turned his head and looked at her with a piercing glare.

“Did my mother order you to spy on me?” He asked.

“No, never, young master, she just asked me to regularly report on your health. she was really worried about you, I know what can and can’t be said,” Lily quickly tried to explain herself.

Victor knew well what Lily and his mother meant, and his heart was full of warmth but his mouth was not,

“OK, good then, go report to your heart’s content.” then he turned to Hilda and yelled “Hilda, find a nearby room for dear Lily so she can keep reporting all night.” and with that, he pushed Lily and Hilda out of the room locking the door behind them.

Lily was shocked, her young master’s reaction was not what she expected, but while he was just driving her out he whispered in her little ear.

“Survey the entire mansion, I have things to do here.”

It seems this was all part of his plan. So she quickly asked Hilda to guide her to a suitable room and then followed her. She was not really comfortable with the young master being alone with two pretty twins, but she knew that he will not touch them tonight. probably.

...

Victor looked at the two girls who were still shaking. Maybe he can use them for a massage? He thought with a smile.

“Turn around and show me the tattoo on your necks,” He said softly.

The girls looked at each other, then turned around and held their flowing hair revealing the familyʼs crest in faint ink on the back of their necks.

Since Hilda did not let them meet Nick so their tattoos were the family’s crest and not otherʼs. so any member of the family can claim them.

Victor approached them slowly and took out his purple Token.

“Don’t resist the feeling you will have, or it would hurt you.” He said in a soft voice.

The girls shook a little then nodded their heads. They have already been through this once.

Victor quickly placed the token on their necks one at a time and marked them as his servants.

...

Now, he got them, but how to keep them? He thought as he looked at the two shaking girls.

“Turn around,” He said softly, “I have now marked you as my servants, You will listen to me from now on. No one except for me, not even Hilda or my father can order you without my permission, Understood?”

The girls nodded in response, they knew that they have already entered the tiger’s den and there is nothing they can do. Tears began to well in their pretty eyes.

“Now I need you to act as my pillows, as I am not used to sleeping in a new bed without my hug pillows,” he said that, yawned then headed to the grand bed and began to change his clothes.

The girls were astonished ‘hug Pillows?’ Is this a new play, or is there something wrong in this guy’s head?

“Come help this young master get dressed, how do you button this thing?” His voice came to wake them out of their astonishment, so they looked at Victor who already changed his pants but seemed to be having trouble putting on the pajamas’ shirt, so they quickly went and helped him with a heavy blush on the face.

After finishing, Victor climbed onto the bed and ordered the girls to sleep one on each side. So they did that nervously not knowing where to put their hands.

Victor turned off the lights then hugged the two girls and closed his eyes.

And that’s it. for the next 10 minutes, the girls were nervous but after another few minutes, they heard him snore.

“Really, just sleep! just like that?” they thought concurrently. They were surprised and a little relieved looking at each other’s eyes. Now they can only go to sleep too, they have already reached this stage, what is the worst that could happen.

So they close their eyes to sleep.

Victor secretly operated his token and used the seal’s function to force them into a deep sleep. What he has to do next no one should see.

Victor snapped his eyes open then sat down looking at the sleeping beauties by his sides. they were very beautiful, especially when they relaxed their anxious faces. “Not as beautiful as my Lily though.” he thought. As Lily was getting more beautiful by the minute after the ceremony.

He carefully caressed their red hair. And thought,

He has a choice to give up on them and let them go to Tom’s side, this will allow him to avoid a very dangerous potential enemy. but he does not want to do that. He will never give up what is his, never again.

So he will approach them slowly and make them fall in love with him, as He doesn’t want to force them, he intends to keep them by his side for a long time, so he had to boil the frog slowly.

As for Tom, he has already fabricated a good plan. Looking out of the window at a towering mountain on the horizon, he had a crazy idea, he remembered an accident in his past life, something that had nothing to do with him back then. This time he will use it to his advantage. He will dig a deep hole and let Tom fall in it smiling, he would not know what hit him. But those plans will have to wait until tomorrow.

Now he will initiate his Class for the first time and activate his skill, He did not want to be disturbed and if the girls were awake it would cost him a lot. His level was too low for such a thing so he made them sleep.

“I hope it was worth it,” he told himself.

He steadied himself, took a deep breath, and initiated his Class.
