The Young Master in the Shadows

Chapter 35: Shopping

Victor took the girls to a nearby mall next, he intended to buy them some clothes but the girls were very shy, and although they liked many of the clothes they kept refusing him, as he kept insisting that he should join them in the dressing room.

Lily who seemed to have got a little annoyed decided to step in,

“Young master, why don’t you let me do the shopping with them, we can’t delay any longer as we have a party to attend to tonight. So can you wait for us by in the cafe at the corner?” She said pointing to a nearby shop.

And without waiting for his approval she snatched his credit card from his pocket, then winked at him and grabbed the twins' hands, and walked away leaving a lonely young master standing by himself.

Victor shook his head and laughed. It seems that Lily is feeling a little jealous, but it’s a good thing that she took them shopping, it would be beneficial for them to spend some girl time together. And that was his plan all along.

He needed to get some things ready for tomorrow, and having them by his side was inconvenient.

Now, What should he do first? He walked around the market watching the stores and the people going in and out when he noticed an antique store with many old and exquisite treasures displayed on its front.

“That’s the first step,” He thought with an evil smile.

He entered the antique shop and started browsing his goods until he found an Old bronze decorated Chalice, It looked like something from a Gothic movie set. This is exactly what he was looking for, so he bought it immediately then paid a little extra and instructed the shopkeeper to send it to his mansion immediately while giving him the address as he didn’t want the twins to see it.

After that, he went to some variety shops and ordered a few sets of hiking equipment and some other gadgets for tomorrow.

Then he finished by entering a small traditional pharmacy located in a faraway corner.

“Can I help you?” Said the old man who was behind the counter.

Victor looked at him and smiled, this one is a player,

This shop specializes in PLAYER medicines in addition to normal drugs and natural remedies,

“I need these few drugs,” he said as he gave the old man a piece of paper he prepared in the office earlier.

The old man looked at them and frowned his brows,

“These are for easing the birth for pregnant women and might cause miscarriage if given before the right time, are you sure these are the correct ones? The black rose petals are not a medicine for commoners.” he asked Victor, who nodded in affirmation and whispered one word “a Player”.

Usual drugs do not work well with players, so additional special materials should be added like the black rose petals to strengthen its effects. But those same materials would be dangerous if ingested by a normal human. So Victor clarified that they are for a player.

The old man nodded his head and immediately prepared the materials.

“Do you know how to brew them? Only let the patient drink one cup.” He told Victor.

“Yes, how much are they?”

“Three thousand for the Black Rose petals and 200 for the rest,” he answered.

Victor quickly paid and took the materials which the old man packed for him in a paper bag.

He should now find someone to send them back to the mansion, as he can’t go around walking with a paper bag all day, not good for the image.

…

Lily took the girls through many shops and to the twins' astonishment brought everything the twins admired,

The twins were very embarrassed,

“Sister Lily, is it really okay for us to buy all of these using the young master’s money?” Mina asked

“Don’t worry, he won’t go broke even if we would have bought this entire mall a thousand times” she said with confidence, making the twins wonder just how rich is their young master.

“And consider this as compensation, didn’t he sleep with the two of you last night?” she asked with an evil grin, she has learned how to tease little girls from her bad young master.

“The young master did nothing to us. He only used us as hug pillows,” said Mana in a soft voice and a light blush.

Lily took a sigh of relief, she was afraid that her young master would have lied to her and slept with the twins first.

“I can’t tell you why, but you don’t have to worry, he will not touch you in the near future anyway,” she said with a smile, assuring the girls as they were very nervous about this subject.

Then Lily went and continued her shopping spree with them. She didn't bring any luggage or extra clothes with her to the mansion, so she needed some extra clothes in addition to underwear and pajamas.

She would be too shy to shop for these with Victor, that is the reason she chose to betray her young master and go with the girls alone.

Next, they started shopping for a gift for Tom, this didn’t take a long time.

“Now that we bought all these things, let’s find a hotel room so we can have a bath then change and do our hair, we can’t look like this at your friend's party,” she said to the girls who nodded their heads in approval.

They didn’t notice it, but they have been opening up more and more to Lily who was acting like their big sister.

There was a small hotel next to the mall so they rented a room and the twins took a quick bath.

When they got out of the bath they found Lily in the room, trying different clothes but there was something different, she did not have her veil on.

Although they were girls, they could only look at her in amazement. They have never seen such a beautiful girl before. Not even the movie stars and models they saw today in the company could rival her in beauty.

Lily smiled at them, then quickly helped them put their new clothes on, and when they finished Mina suddenly turned to Lily.

“Ms. Lily, I wanted to ask you a question, What is your relationship with the young master, You seem rather close?” Asked Mina

“I am his first maid, but I don’t think that we are that close as I only met him two days ago,” said Lily making the girls feel very surprised.

“But you just helped him put on his clothes and you didn’t seem to be embarrassed,” Mina asked unconvinced.

“Didn’t you help him get dressed in the morning? Don’t worry about such things, the young master is very good to us, I can promise you that. Two days ago he confronted his elders to save my life and grant me my wish. So I decided that he is the only man I would serve in this life.” Said Lily then packed her things and left the room making the girls quickly follow her out while wondering, He did save our lives too today, should we do the same as her.

Lily asked the hotel to send their newly acquired luggage to the mansion then left the hotel with the girls. It’s time to reunite with the young master.

…

It was already sunset when the girls returned, The Twins were dressed in a fashionable red dress and seemed to have had their hair done, while Lily was dressed in a blue sundress.

Victor glared at Lily with who lowered her head in shame as she seemed to have realized that she might have made her young master wait for too long.

He gave them a long inspecting look,

“You look beautiful,” He said to the blushing twins then walked to Lily who was looking at the twins with little jealousy, and whispered in her ear,

“You look the most beautiful of them all. So don’t be jealous,” he said.

She lowered her head in shame, but he could see that her ears had turned red.

Then he took Lily’s hand and told the girls to follow him. They have a birthday party to attend.
