Chapter 115: We’ve Missed You, Master

Inside a dimly lit room, a bald man was lying on a large mattress, his back resting against the wall, while two servants fanned him from either side as he casually enjoyed the meal from his tray in front of him.

In front of the mattress stood Gildhart Von Highstatus, a barely concealed frown on his face as he cast angry side glances at the ladies kneeling beside the mattress and looking very repentant.

Behind Gildhart stood Kylian, his expression the same as always.

"So you are saying... this object was able to incapacitate you all ?"

Chancellor Dongwhisper asked Gildhart casually as he picked up the gas canister from the corner table by his mattress, observing the object with quiet interest.

"Yes, it did..... It was horrible, the worst thing I’ve ever experienced. He’s... he has to pay for this!"

"And they!...." Gildhart voiced with growing annoyance as he pointed at the kneeling twins.

"They were not only satisfying his sick whims when we saw them; they even went as far as reporting to the young lady."

Gilhart scolded with spite, looking at the twins with eyes that screamed betrayal.

Dongwhisper observed the canister with growing interest for a few more seconds before slowly turning his gaze over to the twins and saying calmly as he bit into a large piece of juicy meat.

"And what do you have to say for yourselves, girls?"

The twins shared a quick look, then, nodding, Kiara took the lead in explaining....

"It’s true that we were playing around in the pool with our mas.....with the healer mahji when young man Gildhart found us...."

"We also called the young lady to come to his rescue, but master..."

"We were only doing the mission you assigned us," Kiara added passionately.

"You were?....how so?"

Dongwhisper intoned, throwing a piece of meat into his mouth, his gaze drifting casually from his feast to the twins.

"Well, master, you told us to gain his trust..... What better way was there to gain his trust other than showing we really care when he is in trouble?....."

"He’s so easy to fool, Master....."

"Now we have him wrapped around our fingers," Kiara said to Dingwhisper with a smirk; Ryn also nodded, reiterating how dumb the young mahji healer was.

"I see... "

"... and I guess playing around in baths with him was also part of the plan."

"That’s right, master..."

"We hated doing it, and we even felt disgusted through it all..."

"...but we had to do it, so we could carry out our master’s mission."

Kiara explained, visibly looking repulsed by the suffering they endured of having to pretend to have fun with their target.

"Hmm... my girls must have gone through a lot... come here,"

Dongwhisper called to them warmly, and the twins rose from the kneeling position, smiling and climbing over the mattress to rest on either side of Dongwhisper, while he caressed their heads gently as they melted lovingly into his arms.

"You heard them, young man; they were only carrying out the mission I assigned them..."

"Whereas you..." Dongwhisper began saying slowly as he directed his scrutinizing gaze at Gildhart.

"You went ahead and caused yet another problem that could have ended up badly if that person had actually taken more interest than she did."

"But that isn’t my fault!. It was the twins who went and called her, and how was I supposed to know that the bastard would possess such a powerful weapon?" Gildhart retorted indignantly, pointing his fingers at the twins.

"Lower your voice when in my presence."

Dongwhisper growled, causing Gildhart to instantly stop talking as he met the man’s intimidating gaze.

The man wasn’t releasing any aura, yet Gildhart could still feel an invisible pressure pressing down on him.

"Listen here....."

"Your shenanigans have to be put on hold for the time being while I assess this new threat..."

"Though your father has been quite generous, it isn’t enough to allow you to jeopardise my plans... so, tread carefully, young Highstatus."

Gildhart had veins popping on his head; he looked like he wanted to say more, but he swallowed the words and stormed right out of the room, leaving just Kylian, who remained in place, his expression never faltering from that passive smile and squinting eyes.

"So, what have my girls discovered about him for the past few days..."

"Don’t tell me you haven’t been able to gather any useful information... that will make me very unhappy."

Kiara and Ryn shared nervous glances from either side, then Kiara closed her eyes for a couple of moments, drawing in a deep breath as she answered softly....

"Of course, master... we’ve discovered something."

"Good girls... now tell me... what did you find?" Dongwhisper inquired with a satisfied smile.

"Our mas....that person, he.....he gave us a strange box."

"A strange box ?"

"Yes, master. He told us to deliver the box to the mistress. "

"Really?.... and what was inside this strange box ?. Don’t tell me you didn’t open it to check."

"We did, of course we did... and what we found was indeed surprising, Master."

"What was it?" Dongwhisper intoned, growing curiosity in his tone.

"It looked strange, quite exquisite.... beautiful in fact. A design we’ve never seen or heard of before....but we could tell when we observed closely enough...."

"It was a type of women’s undergarment, master." Kiara announced, her cheeks flushing red in embarrassment.

"What ?"

"Did you just say....women’s undergarment?" Dongwhisper felt like he had misheard, so he had to confirm with Kiara again.

"Yes, master, it was certainly that." Kiara reiterated.

"Hmm..."

Donhwihispere was quiet for a while, gently stroking the twin’s hair, as his eyes periodically drifted to the canister now resting on the wooden desk.

"And is there anything else you girls have noticed... "

"....anything else that’s weird or unusual ?"

This time, Dungwhisper asked, looking down at the twins, as if expecting them to say something in particular, but surprisingly, they both shook their heads, staring at one another, Kiara responding....

"Nothing else, Master."

"He plays a lot..... and is a little too naive, but nothing else stood out in particular," she assured, appearing very candid in her expression.

"Hmm...I see."

Dongwhisper murmured, his brow folding a little before smoothing out again, as his tone turned a little more casual, with his hands slowly drifting over the twins’ thighs, pulling upward through their mid-thighs in a rubbing motion as he intoned.....

"And how have my girls been?....have you missed me?"

"Hmm!... "

"Yes... We’ve missed you, master," the twins chorused softly.
