~The String of Fate~ discontinued... Well, continued on another account ??

Chapter 12:

"Oi, oi, oi! What are you doing?!" Avis yelled in caution as I shoved him into the bathroom before calling out to Vidoro. "Vidoro! Get in here too!"

"Eh?! Why me too?!" Vidoro exclaimed though he was already making his way to the bathroom anyway.

"Cause the apple never falls far from the tree!" He was walking too slowly so I also grabbed his arm and yanked him into the bathroom.

-----

I figured out soon enough, that the reason Avis hadn't been able to come to the imperial ball and had to drop out last minute was probably because of the state his skin was in. He probably got an acne attack.

And there's no way in hell Luden would ever let him show his face in public like that sonce it would taint the family's reputation. Let alone an imperial ball. However, even if that wasn't the case.

There's no possible way in the nuclear universe I could have ever let this slide, not as a proud Korean citizen. Never. So I now have yet another reason to be glad that skincare still exists in this world.

Though I should've honestly expected it. It's not like anyone would go so in detail to change all the names and skincare products in this game, they wouldn't even have to in the first place.

"Honestly... Why are you doing this...?" Avis let out an exasperated sigh as I continued to apply the mud mask I had just had Ardeat bring over to his face.

Avis was currently being forced to sit on a chair in the middle of the room with a skincare headband with a bow holding his bangs back as I applied the mud mask to his face.

He looked ridiculous but at the same time hilarious.

"Because. Despite your shitty, petty, absolutely trashy personality. You've got an awfully pretty face that I can't allow to be destroyed over this." I responded as a knock was heard from the door.

"Ardeat. Whoever it is, tell them to get out." I ordered as Ardeat showed no hesitance as she made her way to the door, though she seemed a bit hesitant once she had seen who it was.

"My lady... You might want to see who this is-" "I don't care if it's the emporer himself. Tell them to get lost." I cut Ardeat off making it clear that I simply did not care.

"Understood." Ardeat responded gently shutting the door behind her as she proceeded to carry out my order as I turned to Vidoro to apply the mud mask on his face as well.

"Why must I go through this as well?" Vidoro questioned with a heavy frown on his face, along with a big fat pout. He was also currently in the same position as Avis.

"Stop pouting. You'll thank me for this later." I grabbed his cheeks and yanked on them to get him to stop pouting before poking his temple with the back of my brush to get his brows to relax.

"Relax your facial muscles." I instructed before applying the mud mask to his face while he groaned but obeyed anyway as I heard a click from the door, indicating that Arceat was back.

"Ardeat. Get me turmeric, honey, and yogurt. His skin is so good and bad that I can already see the ache starting while it's trying to hold them back." I instructed as Ardeat opened her mouth to speak.

"Ah... Right away." Ardeat responded trotting out the room while you layed cucumbers on the two brothers' eyes, guess she had decided not to. Or simply forgotten.

Soon enough, Ardeat returned with the items and I had both the brothers wash their faces again to remove the mud mask with a hydrating cleanser.

"Remember! Use your knuckles and GENTLY massage your skin in circular motions!" I reminded them while I made another face mask from the ingredients making sure to emphasize on the word "gently".
