Why Should I Stop Being a Villain
chapter-31-30041322

It was 5 AM in the morning and Asher was meditating during his training. After Amelia said she would take the twins shopping, Sylvie told Asher to accompany them, which he wanted to refuse, but he knew his mother would not take no for an answer. This was her way of getting all four of them to get comfortable with each other.

He decided to do his early training and get ready before the afternoon, when they would go out shopping. He was circulating and sensing his mana veins when he felt a different type of energy for a moment, but that feeling disappeared very quickly. He tried to sense it again, but he could not feel it again.

"System, do you know about the strange energy I just felt?" Asher asked.

[ Host needs to level up the system for this information, Insufficient Authority ]

He frowned but could not do anything about it. He decided to ignore it for now until he got a more clear hold on that energy. He would try by himself until he could ask the system about it. Sensing that it was time to end his training, he decided to go for a shower and dress up.

He washed up, dried his damp hair, and changed his clothes for a casual outing. He came down to the living room and saw Nathan, who was chatting with Amelia. Nathan had just come out of his training in the morning. Arthur and Sylvie had already left due to their work.

"Grandpa, are you super strong?" Livia asked with shining eyes. It seems after yesterday's discussion about their awakening, Arthur decided that the twins could also train with Nathan while he would train Asher.

"Of course, I am the strongest in the world. If someone troubles you, just tell me and I will deal with it," Nathan proudly said while laughing.

"Don't fall for it. Although grandfather is strong, there are 10 more people like him," Amelia tried to correct Nathan's lie.

"As if. And where is your little hamster who follows you?" Nathan decided to tease Amelia a bit.

"He is not a hamster, and his name is Damian!" Amelia shouted.

"Why don't you shout like that at your older brother? It seems young people only tend to bully weak old men nowadays," Nathan said while acting pitiful.

"Who said I cannot shout at him? And how are you a weak old man?" Amelia spoke hurriedly. If she could, she would have pounced on Nathan by now, but she wanted to give a reliable older sister image to the twins. This was the reason Nathan was having fun teasing her.

"Don't lie. If he was in front of you, you would be hiding by now!" Nathan scoffed at Amelia.

"I am not afraid of him!" Amelia told him while slightly raising her voice.

"It seems you have nothing to do except wasting your time chatting here," a cold voice was heard by Amelia, who immediately recognized it. Her heart started beating faster. She wanted to run out of this situation but her pride would not allow it.

"N-No, I was just replying to grandfather," Amelia immediately tried to correct her statement.

"Okay, then get ready to go shopping," Asher said, having already noticed Nathan's little play, but he was in no mood to play along with it.

"What a grumpy brat," Nathan thought, disappointed that Asher was not willing to play along.

"If you're so free, why don't you help dad with the guild's work?" Asher replied with an indifferent face.

"Oh, I forgot about my training today. Kids, I'll see you later, as I need to train now," Nathan said, immediately disappearing from the couch.

The twins were surprised by his actions and were also fascinated at the same time. Asher ignored it and told the three of them to follow him. They got in Asher's Rolls-Royce and Emmy was sitting in the front seat. Lucas was sitting beside Asher and Livia was sitting with Amelia in front of them.

"Do we really need clothes? I mean, the clothes we have now are very soft and enough," Livia asked Amelia. She found Amelia easy to talk to than Asher, who always maintained a cold face.

"Yes, now that you're a part of our family, we also need your clothes for brother's birthday party as well," Amelia told her and also explained why it was important for them to have their own clothes. It was more of a status kind of thing. They were going to be introduced to the world at the party as Ivar's kids, and if their appearance were lacking, others might assume that they could be easily bullied or harmed. That's why the timing of this news needed to be controlled.

They arrived at Rizal Mall, which was the biggest mall in Soran. All of the branded accessories and clothes were present here. It was in the shape of a huge oval-looking building. Many people could be seen going in and out of this place. Their car stopped at the VIP parking lot, which was reserved for the rich only.

They got out and looked at the marvelous sight of the building. Many stores and brands could be seen. The building consisted of 7 floors. The twins were looking around, seeing many attractions and things. Livia was very excited seeing all these things. Lucas was also looking at many shops. The twins were wearing some black sunglasses to hide their eye color.

Even this trip to the mall had some purpose behind it. They could have easily called a designer at their estate, but they needed a little spark before the fire that would be announced at the party.

They arrived at the topmost floor, which was reserved for VIPs only. Many rich families could be seen here. Every shop only consisted of their premium and most expensive products. Many people recognized Asher and Amelia as the siblings were famous in Soran, especially Asher.

"Look, isn't he the famous cold devil of the Greville?" Many people started chatting among themselves.

"It seems the siblings also came for shopping today," one person talked among his group.

"Wow, he looks so dreamy!" Several girls were fanboying over Asher. And even some young boys were admiring the looks of Amelia, but they didn't have the guts to say it. They knew that one slip of tongue and the wrath of the Greville family might fall upon them. "Sigh, poor boys," Ahem!

"But who are those kids with them?" Many people were starting to notice the twins. But their eyes were covered, so they thought they were close relatives or friends of the Greville.

Asher and the others arrived at the most expensive and premium-looking clothing store in all of Somaria, called "Levoure." This store only made custom-tailored clothes for its limited clientele, which consisted of only highly influential families. This clothing brand was owned and named after the Levoure Family, which, despite not being an elite family, was fairly rich and influential.

Entering the store, a middle-aged lady came to greet Asher and Amelia.

"We welcome Young Master Asher and Young Mistress Amelia, as well as the esteemed guests who are with you," the lady said, already educated with the faces and names of the influential people. Although she did not recognize the twins, knowing they were with them, she greeted them with respect.

"Don't mind them, it's their secret outing and we would like to keep it that way," Asher spoke with his indifferent look.

"As you wish, what would you like to see?" the lady asked, not inquiring about the twins' identities.

"We need some branded clothes for them and a suit for our upcoming party next week," Amelia decided to take charge from there. She was better than Asher at such things, so she decided to choose the clothes for the twins.

The store was quite big and, because it only accepted limited clients, there were no other people. They could see various mannequins wearing luxurious and beautiful clothes. Lucas wasn't interested much in all this, but Livia was looking around with a smile on her face. Asher and Amelia were given some hologram tablets, which consisted of the catalog, to go through and see some samples.

The lady called some assistants who took the measurements of Livia and Lucas. Lucas was a bit uncomfortable with others touching him, but decided to brace it. Amelia was already choosing the designs for the dresses and suits for the twins.

After some selection and input from the twins about their favorite colors, they finally decided on a dress and a suit. Amelia and Asher already had their dresses and suits ready, and today's shopping was only for the twins. Though Amelia also decided to get some dresses for herself. After all the choosing was done, the lady sat on the couch, which was prepared for them.

"Do you have any suggestions you want to apply?" she asked Amelia and Asher.

"I want you to design a tiara and crown for these two," Asher spoke.

"And I don't need to remind you, choose the most expensive gems you have at the moment for it," he told her. This was the main reason for coming today. The gems that the Levoure Family had could be called some of the most beautiful and most expensive ones. Their collection of gems was a source of jealousy for many people. Only the limited customers of the Levoure Brand could purchase them.

"Young Master Asher, it would cost you around 2.7 billion AUR, excluding the cost of the making of the crown and the tiara, which would add up to around 3 billion AUR," the lady quickly calculated the cost. The twins were busy trying on some dresses, and if they could hear this amount, they might have fainted on the spot.

"Don't worry about the cost and get it ready with the dresses for those two," Asher spoke and got up from his seat.

"Emmy, get all the bills and necessary things done and make sure there is no delay in this," he told Emmy, who immediately went with the lady to get some things done. Amelia went back to try on some dresses.
