Choi Han drew the twins' attention.
Vicross was staring at them as well. Vicross had a bad feeling about getting roped into something bad.
"Hello!"
The filthy man titled his head like a cute little puppy. He must have been perplexed as to why the twins were speaking to him.
<Hello>
They will be unable to communicate in any way. The man was speaking in another language.
The twins exchanged glances. They tilted their heads adorably and smiled—that kind of smile that can make someone piss on their pants—as if they had remembered something shitty.
Vicross frowned, knowing he would soon be dragged into another mess. He has to either clean this bastard, babysit this bastard, or both.
He started walking away. He did not want to get into another fight because of the twins.
"Ah—yah, Vicchi's running away again."
"What a scaredy cat."
"I am not afraid; I just do not want to get entangled in whatever trouble you have gotten yourself into," Vicross stated candidly. He did not want to get involved in all the nonsense the twins wanted to do for the sake of his sanity.
The twins frowned. He did not have to call them that, but the twins were the root of all his problems!
"Oh, quite honestly."
"That is why I like Vicchi!" Cale beams and latches himself onto Vicross to prevent him from fleeing. "Stay here, Vicchi; we need you."
"Need me for what?" Vicross knew he would definitely clean up after their messes.
The twins began to laugh once more.
<How long have you been here?> Rok asked.
Vicross was taken aback when he heard that. He not only speaks some of the continent's languages, but he also knows some foreign languages.
Rok and the foreign man continued to talk for a while before a loud growl echoed.
<Um...>
The twins looked up to Vicross. Vicross could not help but frown even more and reach for their emergency food. That grin is something Vicross wishes he had not noticed. The image of these two as little daredevils becomes even more vivid than the insanely cute innocent twins.
When was the last time they were too innocent?
There were never that innocent, as far as he remembered!
The twins fed the swordsman. Vicross can tell that the long-haired man is a mighty person. He looked so young but he is not a youngster. Fighting alongside him gave him the best view of how to fight bigger and more powerful beings than him.
"Rok." Cale called out to his twin, "Can we turn him into our teacher?"
"Your teacher," Vicross considered. Cale has a powerful aura, but no one in the kingdom can teach him how to use it properly. Vicross got chills when he imagined Cale with a powerful sword aura like this long-haired man.
Henituse Household was originally a martial arts family. No one can stand in the way of the household again if the apparent heir is a swordmaster. Furthermore, Rok, the older twin, is a strategist. He once helped Rok's plans, and he was terrified of how devilishly fast he thinks in a crisis.
Vicross suddenly had an epiphany.
I would never mess with these two.
His instincts are telling him to follow them and everything will be alright.
<Brother. Do you want to accompany us? >
The twins looked at the man expectantly. The man appeared to hesitate at first, but because no one could understand him except this boy, he nodded and followed them.
It was the start of Vicross' and Ron's careers as language teachers.
After a few days of exploring the Forest of Darkness, they returned to the County. Vicross could not keep up with the man's bad hairstyle, so he went and expertly cut it off.
"Wow, Vicross is the best husband material."
"A man who knows how to do it all!"
With their end-the-conversation-of-the-other, the twins terrorized him once more.
One thing is certain: their swordsmanship improved after they began training and sparring with Choi Han. Cale, in particular.
Every eye was on the young lord. Every time he sparred with the knight, the red aura he had been honing became even more vivid and powerful. Not only that, but Rok appears to have identified and highlighted Cale's flaw. It seems grueling and painful, but—the twins must've assessed they have to work hard if they want to achieve the result that they wanted.
However, the count still couldn't recognize his son without any merit at all.
To be recognized as heir apparent, an illegitimate must have one significant merit.
The twins were well aware of this, but they were not in a hurry. They appear to be taking things very lightly.
"So, we planned on going to the Ubar region," Rok said, a cute smile on his face. Violan and Deruth exchanged glances, refusing to give them their approval. They were afraid that if they let them go, something bad would happen.
"I would like to pay a visit to my fish there."
"What kind of fish?" Deruth inquired.
"A whale," Rok hummed and smiled once more.
It is as if Cale should do the hard work and Rok should handle the negotiations.
"A very handsome fish," Rok added.
"Are you collecting good-looking guys or something?" Deruth inquired. "You have two shiny pretty princes, a perfect husband vicious yet dilf cook, an adorable puppy handsome knight, and now—you have a handsome fish? Are you creating your own harem? The king does not have that many."
"I took up your lady killer skills, Daddy," Rok said, frowning and looking offended.
Cale could not stop himself from snorting. When his grandson said that, their grandfather, Reuben burst out laughing.
"You have two beautiful girls, but I can not have my handsome men?"
Cale: Handsome men with a very fucked up background, Hyung-nim! Hahahahahaha!
Winning the game of words, Deruth ended up accepting defeat when Violan hummed in amusement and affirmation with his son. Rok smiled once more and looked at Violan for help.
"Let him have his handsome men." Violan seconded and patted the twins who took up the seat beside her.
Deruth wanted—really wanted—to refuse, but he ended up being the under.
Not only did his son inherit his ladykiller skills, but also their mother's tenacity. Not only that, he got his stepmother's support in everything he wanted.
Hah. He really can't win against them.
.
.
So.
The twins travelled to Ubar region only to meet Adin casually suntanning himself on the shore of Ubar Shore.
"Ugh. I want to go home." Rok frowned. His younger brothers mocked him with their laughter. Yes, Brothers. Bassen joined them because he assumed they were going on a beach vacation, which is exactly what they were doing.
"Hello, my love. It is been a while. I missed you," Adin says with a warm smile.
"You my stalker or what?"
Adin, disgustingly smiling, reached out for Rok's hand, kissing the back of his hand as if he's a princess of an empire.
[A/N: If he marries Adin, he will become the Princess of Empire. lmao]
"You are still lovely and beautiful, my love."
Rok felt chills run through his entire body. He tried to retract his hand, but Adin gripped it even tighter.
"Er... My hand."
"I am just marvelling at your beautiful and soft hand," Adin said with a killer smile. Enough to drive Rok insane.
Why is my life like this?
Why are all these jerks flocking to me?
I am a peace-loving citizen—why am I the only one who has to put up with this?
Cale: BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA
Rok turned to look at his brother, who was on the verge of passing out from laughter.
Rok: you bastard younger brother of mine.
Cale: hahahahahahahahhahahahahahhaa. Stop making these bastards fall for you then! hahahahahahhahaha
If Cale could roll on the sand, he'd be rolling out in laughter!
Rok was about to pull his hand off Adin's hand when a very beautiful, slender hand touched Rok's hand. Blue wave of hair filled his sight as someone tall stood before him.
"Stop making him uncomfortable."
*twitch*
"Aiyah." Cale began pulling his video saving device and began taking pictures of this awesome love triangle. Too bad, Alver Crossman's nowhere to be found.
Adin's expression couldn't be drawn anymore.
"And who are you?"
The blue haired man ignored Adin and looked at Rok.
"It's been a while."
Rok's stupied expression made Cale squeal along with Bassen. The bastard Younger brother already pulled out a chair and a table while drinking the lemon tea that Rok loves the most. He's totally enjoying this love triangle between concubines!
The blue-haired man took Rok's hand, which Adin had kissed and held, and brought it close to his mouth, kissing it as if disinfecting it.
"I have missed you."
Rok's about to get killed with his ladykilling skills!
Cale: Alver Crossman, where are you? You're husband is cheating on you! Hahahahahahaha
Rok: Shut up! Help me!!!!!!
.
.
A woman sat beside Cale as he revelled in the love triangle. She appeared to be much older than him, but he recognised her. While Paethon is young, her older sister is already a hundred years old, but she appeared to be in her twenties.
"Hello."
"Hi," he said.
He served the lady a fine juice that smelled like watermelon rather than lemon tea.
Favouritism at its finest!
The lady smiled at him and took the drink.
"My brother is pleased," the lady said.
"I doubt if my brother is happy?"
"You are quite cute," the lady said, smiling, "what is your name? I am Whitara."
"I'm Cale, noona."
.
.
Rok felt his brother doing something and turn to where he is. The bastard is casually having a chat with a lady.
Rok: You got the gal already? For a ten year old, you're the lady killer.
Cale: shut up, at least I got a girl, while you? Hahahaha.
It would have been perfect if not for another whale crashing into the waters of Ubar!
Cale almost jumped out of his seat to protect Bassen in his arms when—
"STOP IT ARCHIE!" Whitara stood up and punched the killer whale crashing at them and knock him to sleep!
Cale: ...
Rok: I'm soooo happy~~~!! They all love me~~!!! You gonna be under brother! Hahahahha
Cale—wrong move. Whitara smiled at him, "You good?"
Croaking like a chicken, Cale replied, "yes!"
The mood.
