Why Should I Stop Being a Villain-Chapter 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. 𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮
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. ƒ𝓇e𝙚𝔀𝐞𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷e𝙡.𝒄𝗼m
"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.
