The Marquis's mansion

It was already close to midnight and the silver moon hung high in the sky like a great luminous pearl, illuminated the whole city.

At this moment, the elegant living room of the marquis's mansion was filled with people. The protector of the Djage Empire, Franklin Djage, sat upright in a sofa with Viviana and Shad next to him. As for Monalisa, she stood behind Shad like an obedient servant.

In front of them were two young women who looked exactly the same yet very different from one another. They were both supreme beauties capable causing downfalls of a nation. However, one of them had a cold and confident demeanor. Her body was unconsciously emitting a powerful murderous intent as though she was always in battle mode.

As for the other one, she looked very mature, calm and innocent compared to the other one. Despite looking the same, her appearance alone would brighten the eyes of others. She was very modest and elegant. She didn't look arrogant, nor snobbish with an oppressive aura. Instead, she was very polite and had great manners befitting a lady. There was no room for criticism unlike the other who looked like she could kill someone with the look on her eyes alone.

With soft brows and charming eyes, she had a gentle feature. She looked very tender and soft as water, Unlike the other one who looked like a walking weapon. She was the definition of an alluring beauty.

Currently, the gazes of everyone within the room were locked onto the two young women, and these gazes carried curiosity, surprised, jealousy. Obviously, they were interested in the two young women.

" So, you two are really sisters." At this moment, the fiery temper Viviana couldn't help but ask the two young women with a surprised expression on her face.

Even though these two young women looked exactly the same, they were like two different persons. One was cold as ice while the other was gentle as water, generous and considerate. They were like day and night, fire and water, yin and yang. If it wasn't for the fact that they were twins and looked exactly the same, no one would have thought that they were sisters.

They had nothing in common except for their look. One was a powerful cold-blooded assassin while the other was a weak innocent young woman who spent most of her time reading books and likes to research ancient relic and ruins.

" Of course, we are twins." Answered the two young women in unison, one with a cold and melodious tone while the other used a gentle and alluring tone. One had an emotionless arrogance while the other was like a blooming peony in the spring.

The cold looking one had a weird expression on her face as though she couldn't understand why these people doubted that they were sisters despite looking exactly the same. Were they blind?

As for the gentle one, she chuckled a little before answering Viviana's question. Unlike her sister, she clearly understood why these people doubted that they were sisters.

These two young women were none other than Nina and her long-lost sister Mina. Apparently, the young woman that was captured by one of the members of the Eye was none other than Mina, the second descendant of Henry and the person capable of reading the Diary left behind her ancestor.

Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

After Mina was captured by the Member of the Eye, Hegel who is Shad's Grandfather had intercepted him and took her away from him after a long battle, and even captured 5th Eye as well.

After capturing the high-level member of the Eye also known as 5th Eye and Mina, Herald brought both of them to the Imperial Capital of the Djage Empire. However, as soon as he made it to the capital, 5th Eye had escaped leaving the girl behind. Since then, the young girl was under the protection of the old man and that's why he brought her with him to meet this little great-grandson of his which led to this fortunate encounter.

At this moment both of them were very happy after finally reunited. Ever since her sister has been captured by the 5th Eye, Nina has spent all of her time looking for her all over the continent. Her sister was the only family member she had left and the reason for her existence. Unlike her, her sister was very pure, innocent and weak. Even though they were both twins and were born on the same day and year, she was forced to act like the older sister due to her sister's naive temperament.

Without her protection, her sister would have been dead or sold long ago. Furthermore, It was the main reason that she had quickly agreed to become Shad's servant or retainer after being defeated by him or failing to assassinate him. She really didn't want to die or turned into a brainless zombie by the Brain Devoured insect. She didn't want to leave her sister behind, by becoming the servant of the 4th imperial prince, at least she would have a chance to protect her sister but if she was dead, then all would have been lost.

As for Monalisa, she was quite surprised due to the arrival of Nina. Even though she was a little sad and happy after hearing the story of the two sisters, she was still a little jealous, especially after knowing that Nina was her young master's servant as well.

Both Nina and Mina were quite beautiful and were brilliant in their own ways, so she felt a little threatened. Their beauties were at such a supreme level that it could incite calamities. Especially Mina, who has been looking at her young master with such a flirtatious and charming manner.

" Little Mina, I am glad that you finally found your sister. I was planning on looking for her for you as you always talked about her but it seemed like fate has brought you two together." The old man was rather happy for Mina. Even though he was just using Mina to translate the book left behind by Henry and was not related to her, but after spending a few days together with her, he began to like her like his own granddaughter.

Not only she was a very intelligent young girl, but she was also very pure and innocent as well, unlike a certain someone.

" Thank you, grandpa Djage." Answered Mina with a pure and innocent smile on her face.

" Well, I know you guys have a lot to talk to talk about and need some privacy, why don't you go to your room and catch up." Said the old man while looking at the two of them before he shifted her gaze to Monalisa.

Without saying anything, Monalisa quickly took Mina and Nina to their room. She knew that her young master and the old man needed some privacy as they were about to discuss something very important. Vivianna also followed them as well, even though she had a fiery temper and act like a tomboy all the time, deep down she was very smart and know when to fool around and when to be serious.

As soon as the four girls left, the atmosphere within the room completely changed. Both the old man and Shad a serious look on their faces. It was as though they were two completely different people.

" Even though I am not sure why you called me here, but I have a pretty good idea why. If my guess is correct, this must be about the treasure left by Henry in the forest. But what I can tell you is that you don't have to waste your time looking for it, Henry had left all of his treasures in the most dangerous place within the continent, the Great Tower. Right now, I need your help because not only the Djage Empire but the whole Egul continent is in danger. We have been fooled by the Eye." Said the old man with a solemn expression on his face.
