Early the next morning, Heis had just finished breakfast and was reading a book in his study when Florin’s soft announcement came from outside the door.
“Young Master, Miss Rafina has arrived at the mansion with her sister. They are waiting in the front hall.”
“Take them to their room to drop off their luggage first. I’ll be there soon.”
Heis closed the book, adjusted his mindset for a moment, then got up and headed to the room prepared for the sisters.
The room door was not closed.
Heis lightly knocked twice and walked in.
At that moment, Rafina was sitting on the bed, listening to Florin explain the work precautions.
Beside her sat a little girl who looked incredibly obedient.
“Heis Master, this is my sister, Ni Wei.”
Seeing Heis enter, Rafina quickly stood up and gently tugged her sister’s shoulder.
“Ni Wei, quickly greet Master Heis.”
“Hello, Master Heis.”
The girl said timidly.
[Today’s Flash Report! “The Blackstone Family Welcomes Twin Maids! Something Strange About the Younger Sister?” For details, please pay 100 gold coins to unlock.]
‘It’s here again? What is this? Could it be my own system? The sister’s appearance is strange… probably like Rafina, caused by mana disorder.’
“You’re all part of the Duke’s mansion now. No need to be so formal. Please, sit.”
Heis waved his hand, deciding to ignore that message for now.
“How is this room? If you’re not satisfied, we can change it.”
Rafina looked around.
Although it was just a suite, it was larger than her previous home.
Two single beds were placed in the room, with brand-new sheets and quilts that looked soft and inviting.
Sunlight streamed in through the French windows, making the room warm and bright.
“Master Heis, how could we be dissatisfied? But wouldn’t it be too wasteful for us to stay here?”
“Wasteful? Not at all.”
Heis said nonchalantly.
“This room has been empty all along. Now that you’re living here, it actually makes the mansion more lively.”
Rafina nodded as if she understood.
Since Master Heis had arranged it, she would follow his wishes.
“Florin, take them to get a few sets of clothes tailored today. We’ll talk about work tomorrow.”
Seeing that both girls were wearing ill-fitting clothes, Heis instructed,
“As for Ni Wei, her body is still weak now. Let her recuperate in the mansion for a while before starting treatment.”
“Yes, Master.”
Florin had just stood up when Rafina quickly interjected, “Master Heis, clothes are not necessary. Our clothes are still wearable…”
“You are now maids of the Duke’s mansion. Your appearance naturally represents the mansion’s image.”
Before Heis could speak, Florin began to explain,
“To prevent visiting guests from laughing at us, your clothes must be custom-made uniformly by the mansion. Of course, this expense will be covered by the mansion…”
Eventually, under Florin’s persuasion, Rafina accepted Heis’s arrangement and took her sister to the Commercial Street with Florin.
From the balcony, watching the three receding figures, Heis’s mind suddenly flashed with several other popular female characters from the original game.
He realized a problem.
In the original, these beautiful girls were intended as recruitable characters for Feng Aotian, and naturally joined the protagonist’s group for various reasons.
As a player who had unlocked all endings, he knew all the crises and misfortunes these beauties would encounter.
Didn’t that mean that if he intervened early to help them resolve their crises, he could make them join his side, like Rafina?
Heis’s eyes lit up.
What was that saying? The best defense is offense.
The highest level of lying low should not be blindly avoiding risks, but actively turning all potential risks into one’s own assets!
The more Heis thought about it, the more feasible the plan seemed.
He became completely excited.
***
Night.
After a refreshing bath, Heis walked to the bed, ready to sleep well.
But as soon as he lifted the covers, he was so startled by the sight that he almost screamed.
A petite silver-haired girl was lying on his bed, staring at him expressionlessly.
“Li Nuo Er?! What are you doing?”
After confirming the face of the girl on his bed, Heis deliberately checked the direction of the bedroom door and lowered his voice to ask.
Li Nuo Er had been adopted by the Blackstone family since childhood and was the family’s specially trained Shadow Guard for Heis.
She was also one of the few female characters in the original game who did not enter Feng Aotian’s Harem Group, which had sparked a protracted war of words between the players and the production team.
After all, who could refuse a Three-No Loli?
Although Li Nuo Er had the appearance of a loli, she was a genuine Killing Machine.
In the story, she could even single-handedly hold off Feng Aotian, buying Heis some time to escape.
“Heis Master, what are you saying?”
The Three-No girl asked, her voice devoid of any emotion,
“Didn’t you personally order that, worried someone would assassinate you while you sleep, I should sleep by your side every night starting today, and leave at dawn?”
“This…”
He remembered!
This was indeed an arrangement he had made before awakening his past life memories.
Of course, the worry about assassination was pure nonsense.
His thinking at the time was simple:
He just wanted to enjoy the Bed-warming Service of a beautiful girl!
The reason he chose Li Nuo Er was also simple, because she had absolute loyalty to him.
In other words, she was obedient enough.
If it had been Florin, he would probably have been summoned for a talk by his duke father the next day.
“Well… Li Nuo Er.”
Heis put on a friendly smile,
“I was too sensitive before. Who would sneak into the Duke’s mansion to assassinate me in the middle of the night, hahaha…
Go back to your room and rest. Don’t worry about me.”
Li Nuo Er blinked, showing no sign of leaving.
Heis rubbed his forehead.
“Ahem… you…”
Just then, a rapid knock on the door startled Heis.
The only person who would come to see him this late was probably Florin reporting work.
If she saw Li Nuo Er on his bed…
Heis shuddered and quickly pulled the blanket over the Three-No girl.
“Li Nuo Er, hide first. Don’t get caught.”
Li Nuo Er nodded and then covered herself with the blanket.
“Florin, I’m about to rest. The work matters can wait…”
Heis walked to the door and opened it, but instead of Florin, he saw Ni Wei with her head down.
A brand-new off-white sleeping robe was loosely draped over her, accentuating the girl’s thin figure.
“Huh? Why is it you? What’s the matter coming so late? Where’s your sister… Whoa!”
Before Heis could react, Ni Wei suddenly lunged, pushing him into the room.
