Reincarnated as a Son of the Sword Saint and the Sage

Chapter 18 18: Mother's Genes



Me and my sister keep practicing the tango and it is already the eve of her birthday before we knew it. We practiced our dance almost everyday that I can see myself doing tango in my dreams.contemporary romance

I am currently roaming around the mansion and observe the surroundings. I walked by a wide corridor and stopped in front of a huge double door. I can hear the clamoring of the servants inside the room here from the outside. I opened the door wide enough to fit my head. The peek out my head first before my whole body. Then silently close the door for me not to disturb the busy servants.

The room that I just entered were the Great Hall and the largest chamber in the mansion. It takes up two floors just to grasp the ceiling. It had 15-foot wide hall at the second floor with staircases at both ends that allows you to access the balcony.

There were doors at each sides of the chamber. First was the door I used. Adjacent to it was the door to the outside where the vast garden was. To my right was the kitchen. Lastly was the parlor then the dressing room.

The hall were already filled with tables and chairs for the guests. I turned my head to the right to see the platform where the orchestra will perform. It was at the right corner of the hall. A black grand piano were standing at the center of the orchestra.

I moved my foot on the marble floor and went straight towards the adjacent door. Some servants noticed me but a gave them a gesture to ignore me and continue working. I pass through the already opened door and walked towards the garden.

The flowers in the garden are neat and well-maintained. These flowers just opened its petals and bloomed this season after surviving the cold winds of the winter.

After I observed the flowers in the garden, I examined the surroundings and find a thorny flower that was under the shadows of the gazebo. And that thorny flower was my sister, Louise.

She was not the only one under the gazebo, our maid Mary were also in there. But what I am seeing right now was rather different from the usual. Instead of servants always stays behind their master, sister was behind of Mary.

"Young Lady, I have many things to do right now. Will you let me go right now?"

"No. You stay here."

Sister refused Mary's demand while wrapping her arms around Mary's body. They are currently sitting on one of the stone chairs around the gazebo's circumference. That's right, sister is hugging Mary from the back.

My sister right now had her eyes on and likes women. This is one of the notable changes that can be seen in my sister. She must have inherited mother's geh genes.

"Looks like there are wild lilies in our garden."

"R-Raphael?! Don't just appeared out of nowhere!"

"Young Master! Please forgive me for my indecent appearance."

"I came here looking for a single stem of rose but I found a flowerbed full of ambrosia."

"What are you referring to that?

"Flowers. Just flowers."

I silently approached towards the gazebo to butt in. My sister got startled from my sudden arrival and hugged Mary more tightly. Mary excused herself for showing me her vulgar appearance.

By the way, ambrosia was a legendary flower and it was really hard to find. Legends said that ambrosia was the main ingredient in making the Resurrection Potion. It had the highest healing process among all of the medical herbs known to mankind. Even a single petal of it can heal serious injuries.

Sister started to like women a few years ago. One day, she told our parents that she was too old to have bath with our parents. And she said that she would take a bath in women's bath.

Exposure to young women's bare skin awakened the hidden geh blood flowing throughout her veins. Since then, her lust for women grew stronger day by day to the point that she sexually harassed some of our servants under the context of accidents.

She eventually confessed to us about her sexuality and our parents released of sigh of relief as if there suspicions were true. Then we heartily accepted her true self with flying (rainbow) colors.

"Enough with the jokes. What are you doing here?"

"Well, I just came up with an idea on how to deal with your problems without relying on the Eternal Apple or making her a vampire."

"It's that true? Can you really prolong her life without relying on those?"

"Yes, but it takes a long time to attain."

The atmosphere of the gazebo suddenly changed as I opened the problem that my sister keep thinking. I sat on the metal chair that surround the metallic table in the gazebo and my sister and Mary follow suit.

"Tell me the details."

"Okay. But the words that I spout must keep confidential and stays between the two of us."

Sister and Mary looked at each other and nodded in agreement. Mary stood up from her sit and exited from the gazebo then disappeared behind the Great Hall's door.

After the confession that she was geh, she said that she loved Mary and want her to be her concubine. And Mary slowly fell in love with my sister too.

My sister's problem started when she knew that our parents decided to use their High Human Racial Skill and live together forever.

Mother and mom halted the maturity of their bodies when they reach the age of thirty. They were almost at their forties but they retain their youth and beauty and they still looked like in their late twenties in their prime at first glance.

My sister wants evolve into a High Human to acquire the Longevity skill and live in eternity with my mothers, the same for me. But the problem was it was almost impossible for Mary to have an eternal life.

There were a very few ways to have an eternal life. One was to acquire a rare skill called Longevity. The only way to obtain it was to evolve into a High Human. But evolving from a Human into a High Human required to have a minimum level of one thousand. This is how my parents got their eternal life. You can also steal it if you had a skill stealing ability.

The other way was to eat the Eternal Apple. Eating this fruit will give you a skill called Eternal that permanently stop the maturity of the consumer's body. It is the fruit of the World Tree, which was located in the Elven Country.

The World Tree only bear Eternal Apple once every century. So it is impossible to request one from the elves. And if you want to take it forcefully, you have to deal with the powerful High Elves knights first before even reaching the World Tree's sanctuary.

The last resort was to convert yourself into a vampire. But the consequences were great and not that good. You must first find a True Vampire to make you their kin by turning you into a Lesser Vampire.

Lesser Vampires are the weakest vampires and had many weaknesses and needs for survival. Their skin burned when exposed to sunlight and touched silver materials. They need to drink blood just to survive for everyday, but they still eat human foods. And their lifespan were not as difficult the normal humans. That's why they need to level up until they reach Level 300 just to evolve into a Greater Vampire.

Greater Vampires had longer lifespan than normal humans and they can live up to a few centuries. They can stand under the sunlight for hours and reduce the damage taken from silver. They drink less blood and only consumes it like wine.

These were the ways for making Mary to have an eternal life. Well, there was a Dark Magic spell that can transform you into an undead but it requires life sacrifices. We cannot commit such crime just to eternalize our servant. And sister do not want Mary to have a rotten body.

"Then, I'll tell you one of my secrets. I have an Unique Skill called Bestow which allows me to bestow one of my skills to an object or a person."

"Did you hide that skill all along?"

"No, I just recently acquired it. It's the combination of the Item Enchant, Weapon Enchantment and Enchant Skill."

"Then how in the world did you combined those skills?"

"Guh!"

Her words hit me with a bullseye. I didn't think of the words that I will say. I forgot that combining skills was a phenomenal feat. Even mom, holding the title of the Sage, didn't have this skill.

"Tell me, Raphael."

"Well… I have another Unique Skill called Skill Synthesis. It allows me to synthesize compatible skills to make an improved one."

Sister ordered me to spill the truth. Her intense glare combined with Intimidation made my mouth move and told her the truth.

"You said 'one of my secrets' just now. Will you please tell me some of it?"

She smiled like an innocent curious child as she said that. But in my perspective, I feel like cornered rat begging for mercy. And this is how my give and take conversation turned into my interrogation.
