Chapter 10: DarknessThe sun was setting when Lucian arrived at the Valemont villa.All the joy and warmth that he felt amidst the presence of his brother and sister was locked up inside his heart as soon as he stepped inside the gate of the villa.The smiling face of Selestine cheekily poked out of the main door. Her gorgeous features lit up in a familiar naughtiness, the one that she always showed to him when they were kids.Lucian stilled for a moment before striding forward with a soft smile. He reached Selestine and teasingly flicked her nose.“You haven’t changed one bit. You’re still so playful.”“Ugh, brother Lucien is the one that didn’t change. You still like to flick my nose!” Selestine’s face scrunched up as she hurriedly raised both her hands to cover her reddening nose.Lucian chuckled as he shook his head. He half-embraced Selestine and led her inside the villa.“Come on, I’m starving.”“Hmph, I will tell mom not to prepare your favorite food!”“Hey! That’s cheating! We

Chapter 9: ArtifactMikhail glanced calmly at Lucian after seeing the server jot down all their orders. He didn’t notice it at first, but the latter always gave off a serene and obedient vibe whenever they talked and interacted with him.Maybe it was just Lucian’s personality, but Mikhail couldn’t say for sure, considering they have just met him over an hour ago.This was also the reason why the earlier incident of Lucian blurting out ‘brother’ to Mikhail felt strange.It wasn’t a bad type of strange, but the weird fuzzy type of strange that made Mikhail’s thoughts wander off unintentionally.Not knowing the answer to the strange feeling that he has, Mikhail shook his head to shrug it off.If there was really something hidden behind Lucian’s actions in front of them, then it would surely be answered in the near future.As the second son of the Crownwald family that occupies the third seat of the six powerful families that hailed from aristocracy in the Valoria empire, Mikhail has a sh

Chapter 8: Mishya and Mikhail IILucian only felt unprecedented peacefulness at seeing the living and breathing figure of his elder sister.He let her down too much in his first life. He let them all down too much, and such a sin could not be pardoned just because he was unaware of the truth. His hands were dyed by their blood, and dying once would never be able to wash it away.He opened his lips, trying to converse more with his sister, but the sounds of rushing steps coming from the path that he took stifled his thoughts.His head snapped back and met eyes with gray pupils that seems to be covered with dark storms ready to erupt at any moment.Lucian instantly realized the situation. He took a step to the side the moment his second brother reached his position at an arm’s length.A fist bringing up a small gust of wind whipped past his cheeks, and if he was late for just a second, his face would have been punched squarely by his second brother.And it was something that really did

Chapter 7: Mishya and Mikhail Lucian felt his heart drop at the familiar scene playing before his eyes. In his first life, the girl being surrounded by three men and almost being assaulted physically alerted him, mostly due to a moral standing. They were merely strangers at that time, and he raised a hand to help because he can. But now, with the memories of his first life, and the undeniable truth of Mishya being his elder sister by blood made his emotions go a bit haywire. A deep sense of rage welled up inside his insides, and Lucian even felt like drawing blood, if not for the rational part of his mind telling him to calm down. The moment Wale Halacre raised his hand to slap his sister, Lucian almost acted to break that arm permanently or better yet just chop it off. ‘Calm down…I can’t scare sister on our first meeting.’ Lucian took a deep breath, the venom in his pupils hid behind his calm façade. He took a forceful step that propelled his figure just behind the three bast

Chapter 6: Highcrest UniversityThe moment that the Vicious dream bubble thread popped and connected the twins, the car slowly entered the Highcrest district.The Highcrest district is one of the three biggest districts in the Prime capital city, alongside Imperial Apex and the Echelon gardens.They are commonly known as Highcrest of East, Apex of North and Echelon of South, based on their locations. The west area is a residential zone, wherein residential buildings, apartments, villas, and parks were built by different real estate giants, according to the city plan decided by the Neutral Governing Assembly from the suggestions of the three founding clans of the empire.The three founding clans are the Valentine Family that manages the economy of the empire, the Lovellan Family in charge of the diplomatic state of the empire, and the Riagar Family in charge of the empire’s military. Every suggestion and decision of the big three would be under the evaluation of the Neutral Governing A

Chapter 5: Meeting GiftLucian wasn't given the time to think of the wonderful meeting gifts that he could give the Valemont family without arousing any suspicion, when a familiar sweet voice that sent a bout of goosebumps to rise on his arms rang penetratingly in the air."Brother Lucien! Here!"Selestine's sudden exclamation silenced the chatter around the pavilion, and they all turned to look at the entrance path, their eyes landing on Lucian's figure.Madam Seles sported a classic smile that did not reach her eyes, and her husband, Karion Valemont had a gentle smile on his amiable features, with a clear forehead and smiling eyes that does not betray the terrifying jealous monster within him.Lucian raised the corner of his mouth with difficulty. His legs felt like they are filled with tons of lead, but he still took each step, and entered the pavilion.The Valemont family, more specifically, Karion Valemonts' can be considered complete, and that is aside from the absent eldest son
