The Young Master in the Shadows

Chapter 109: Lara

When Victor woke up in the morning, Aria was not clinging to him. On the contrary, he was on the ground. Just now she pushed him with her leg while she stretched in her sleep. Making him hit the ground and wake up.

Victor, who was a little surprised, chuckled warmly as he woke up and then used his phone to take a photo of his sleeping x-sister. Saving Aria was one of his primary goals after returning, and now he did it. which made him feel very relieved.

He gently kissed her forehead and then left the room. She seemed to have been very tired as she was deep asleep.

After changing his clothes with a set from his ring, Victor made his way downstairs while inspecting the mansion. This place was not bad, but he might need to find suitable servants for it. And For security reasons, the family would only approve of him using servants trained by them on the Islands. As if the family was not already 20% infiltrated.

Despite being too early, Lily and her sisters were awake in the living room, chatting and laughing about some things. When they saw Victor, they quickly stood up in respect and saluted, while Lily jumped to his side.

“Were you satisfied last night, young master?” She asked him cheekily.

“Yes, I decided to use Aria instead of you from now on.” He said, making Lily freeze in shock as she looked at her young master. He doesn’t want her anymore? But she quickly realized that he was joking with her when she noticed the playful gaze in his eyes.

“Bad young master.” She cursed silently as she hugged her arm and rested her head on his shoulder. making her sisters chuckle a little. She promised to give them a chance with the young master.

“Where is Kai?” Victor asked while looking at the smiling girls. They were pretty, ranging from 16% to 24% degrees on the Lily scale.

“I am here, young master.” A wild Kai appeared out of nowhere, startling Victor. He seemed to be hiding from Lily.

“After Aria wakes up, take her with the girls to the Admin building to register them as my assistants and to remove the seal on the girls. Then buy them some clothes.” Victor said looking at the white sacrificial dresses the girls were still wearing.

“And what about you young master?” Kai asked.

“I will go have breakfast with my mother and spend the day there, with Lily.” He said as he hugged Lily who smiled sweetly under the veil.

“Understood,” Kai said while cursing at Lily silently. Now you act like a sweet lovely girl. The young master should have seen how savage you were yesterday when you kicked me.

“Let’s go.” He told Lily as they headed to the door.

“Do you need me to get you a car, young master?” Kai asked.

“No, we will walk there,” Victor said as he took Lily’s hand and walked out of the door.

…

Victor hasnʼt had a chance to look around the island since his return. He was running from one place to another, so having some time with Lily while enjoying the scenes from his childhood was a really precious time for him.

This island was very beautiful. It had a main road with Manors on all sides branching in all directions. Most of the familyʼs elite and elders have homes on islands like this to keep their wives and children safe and instruct them in the familyʼs art.

When Victor got near his father’s mansion he heard someone shouting.

“Hey, you, stop.” An arrogant voice woke victor from his trance. Making him look back with surprise, Were they talking to him? Who dares to tell an elite heir to stop? Donʼt they want to keep their heads?

It was a hot woman with pink hair, a skimpy dress, and high heels. She walked to his side with difficulty and then pointed arrogantly.

“Go get this lady a car. Where are the other servants here? I have been walking for 10 whole minutes. And why don’t cell phones work here?” she demanded arrogantly as she rubbed her ankle. “And you come, massage my shoulders.”She said to Lily.

Victor quickly understood that she took him as a servant. He was dressing very casually after all because he only had these clothes in his ring. And it was still 5.30 AM. The normal servants are just waking up.

“May I know to which house the lady belongs?” He asked her politely, he really wanted to know which idiot brought a girl here without explaining the rules.

“Hmm. I am young master Rex’s wife. I wanted to ask some servant to drive me from Harbor, but who knows that there were non. You were the first one I encountered. I should have just waited as my husband told me to, but I wanted to surprise him.” She said, “I have to head to his father’s mansion. It must be somewhere here.” She added proudly while looking around, making Victor curse at her.

Rex was his half-brother, the second son of his father’s first wife, and Luke’s brother. It was him or his older brother Max behind the reduction ruin trick.

Rex was a semi-player and didn’t have a house here, so he should have brought this slut here to introduce her to his father and mother. As the rules state that if any family member wishes to marry he must get the approval of his parents, the patriarch, or the elder’s console.

“Didn’t Rex warn you to be low-key?” Victor asked her.

“And what does that have to do with you? Go get me a car now, or I will complain. Rex told me that the punishments around here are very severe. Be careful I don’t order someone to punish you.” She yelled, making Victor wonder if he should get angry or laugh. His brother was warning her, not telling her.

“Lady, have you noticed that I have purple hair.” He asked, trying to make her realize her fault, to avoid the embarrassment.

“Why would I care what color you dye your hair? Now go do your job or I would not only tell my husband to punish you. But I would tell him that the lazy bitch on your side has insulted me too. Maybe both of you should suffer some whipping.” She yelled and threatened as she was getting impatient wanting to reach her in-lawsʼ house to impress them. Not realizing that she has just touched Victor’s reverse scale.

“I can’t touch her. You do it. ” He told Lily who nodded going to the surprised womanʼs side then smacked her face to the ground, then slapped her a few times before she returned to her young master’s side, while that woman screamed.

“Just you wait, I will….” She stopped and swallowed the words she intended to say after Lily gave her a death stare.

“Shall I drag her with us?” She asked while tilting her head.

“ No need, Let’s go,” Victor said as he held Lily’s left hand. He was tempted to drag that woman from her hair, but that would only make Rex instruct Luke to take revenge on his little sister.

“Was I a little too cruel? She is your sister-in-law after all.” Asked Lily in a low voice.

“No, this is just the beginning. Remember this, all my half-brothers and step-mothers are my enemies. Never trust them.” He replied in a low voice making Lily nod in confirmation.

The Mansion was a few turns away. And when Victor approached it the guards at the door saluted respectfully and opened the door with some fear. They couldn’t believe that the weakling young master they made fun of secretly, became an elite heir. He can order their death with a flick of his finger.

Victor nodded to them with a smile then entered the Mansion’s grounds. It was the same walls, the same trees, and the same people, but he was different, and he had Lily by his side.

The first one to greet him was his youngest sister Lara who was busy training with a wooden sword when she noticed him.

“Ah, esteemed brother.” She bowed flusteredly, putting away her sword.

“Don’t be formal,” Victor said as he approached her and hugged her tightly, making her blush.

“Don’t! brother, I am sweaty.” She said, but Victor hugged her tighter. He didn’t get a chance to do this before as it would look unnatural.

Lara was one of the few who respected Victor in the family and treated him well. Too bad that she didn’t survive her ceremony, and Victor believed that it had something to do with his half-brothers.

Sadly at that time, he was just a semi-player when he attended her funeral with his father and mother. Victor could still remember Luke’s strange look at that time.

Victor would have never suspected that Luke, his brother, was behind this. He was too naive back then. But even if he did, he could do nothing. As Luke was a player at that point.

Victor stepped back and looked at his little sister’s embarrassed face with a smile, then he frowned. Her hair color was purple, but the hue was wrong. Others couldn’t tell as no two Von Weisses had the same hue in their purple hair. Victor’s was a little grayish.

But this shift was wrong, he could easily tell. It was the difference between vibrant colors and dead ones. So he activated his appraisal skill.

“What’s wrong with her bloodline!” Victor silently exclaimed as he frowned, making Lara scared a little. Many said that her brother was a pervert, but she knew that he was not. He was the coolest brother in the world. He always took care of her and faced her first mother when she yelled at her.

“Esteemed brother, is there anything wrong?” She asked nervously.

“Yes, we will talk later.” He said as he smiled again and then petted her hair. “This is Lily, your future sister-in-law,” Victor said as he turned and pointed at Lily, making Lara look at her with surprise then bow politely,

“Nice to meet you, esteemed sister-in-law.” She said as she blushed, making Lily blush more.

“Don’t call me that. Just call me Lily.” Lily said, hugging her new sister in law,

“Nice to meet you, sister Lily,” Lara replied with a sweet smile.

“Let’s go inside,” Victor said as he headed to the mansionʼs door. “Is everyone awake?” He asked Lara.

“No, father brought sister Iris and cousin Zoe with him yesterday. Then brother Rex returned too. They were staying late talking about how cousin Zoe grew up in the mountains and how uncle Falcon told her about her true roots. I wanted to stay and listen too. But, the esteemed first mother made me go to bed.” Lara said as she puffed her cheeks.

“Ha, ha. It’s ok. I will tell you many tales later.” Victor said as he entered the mansion. To Encounter Adele at the entrance. His father’s favorite maid was waiting near the door. She seemed to have noticed him when he was talking with Lara and chose to wait here. Despite not being that old. This woman was very thoughtful. No wonder his father usually leaves her here to manage the mansion and maybe spy on his wives.

“Young master Victor, Nice to meet you again, and congratulations on your superb results in the ceremony.” She said as she bowed. “The master is still asleep, so the breakfast would be delayed for another hour or two. Would you like to rest in your room or the living room?” She asked him while inspecting Lily while wondering what is her relationship with Victor.

“I will go with Lara to her room and wait there, as I have much to tell her.” Victor said, “Oh, and there was a crazy woman down the road, she must be Rex’s new wife. Send someone to fetch her before she loses her head.” He added as he took the smiling Lara’s hand and headed to her room with Lily, while Adele quickly gestured to a guard to check the road.
