Chapter 4 -  [ Chapter 3 : Encounter with her siblings]

In the morning, Viviana woke up, got ready and was escorted to dinning hall for breakfast by servants.

"Villa seems empty, there seems to be only few servants."

[ "Adolf and Leonard went for business trip early in the morning while other members are at school." ]

Viviana observed house for a moment, satisfied with interior, ate breakfast heartily.

"Adolf is quite rich."

[ "...." ]. Silence

"It will be shame to not use it.". Viviane said with playful smile.

[ "..." ] I knew it, she was up to something.

From outside POV, it looked as if a young child eating breakfast with her small hands while smiling, like she is enjoying it very much.

Everyone in their mind : 'cute and clumsy.'

After Viviana finished her breakfast, butler took liberty to introduce himself and other servants working in the mansion to Viviana.

Viviana in turn greeted them politely in acknowledgement as usual by slightly nodding and indifferent face.

Everyone were amused watching little child of 5 yrs old behave like an adult and adjusting so quickly to a new environment and felt pity thinking her loss. They also thought her behaving maturely was extremely adorable with that gorgeous face.

[ "Smile a little, like a child you are, Vivi" ] Alex lamented

"I don't want to." Viviana said with straight face.

"Alex, observe and study humans more. Humans are not that simple as they seem. Right now, this people may be smiling and respecting me but they maybe back bitching me behind my back. I as well save my energy for genuinely good people since energy is limited and precious."

Viviana thought since Alex is newly born, he wouldn't know human nature. So, it comes to her as a responsibility to teach him one or two things about humans since he is her system.

[ "..." ] Logically she is not wrong, Alex thought.

"You are too kind, Alex" Viviana said while greeting and listening to servants.

Alex just rolled his eyes to the 'kind' word used for describing him.

After introduction, Viviana played all afternoon making herself familiar with everything.

In the evening, the other children returned from school and met with scene where Viviana was playing with her toy in the garden.

"hello, What are you playing, Viviana ?" Liam was first to speak.

"..." Viviana just glanced at him for few seconds and continued playing without replying.

[ "...." ]

"Elder brother Liam, she is mute I think so." Derek said while mockingly looking at Viviana.

While, Viviana successfully ignored him like air and continued playing indifferently

"Derek, don't talk like that." Jacob reprimanded.

"Brother, but did I say anything wrong? I haven't seen her speaking anything from she have arrived, isn't it Henry?" Derek said arrogantly while nudging Henry .

"yes brother, Derek is right." Henry complied.

Rose' also hummed complying to their statement while Luca just glanced at Viviana from time to time.

"Don't mind him Viviana he have always been like this." Liam said with smile.

"..." Viviana just nodded slightly in acknowledgement after giving them slight glance.

[ "... Is it normal for child to react like that? Shouldn't you be the one to learn socializing with humans? " ] Alex said indifferently.

"Not interested" Vivi replied to Alex boringly.

"Hey, Brother Liam is asking you something, didn't you hear him??" Derek said angrily to Viviana.

Viviana just looked with her big, pure eyes and cute, innocent face towards Derek and blinked her eyes several times slowly and innocently as if she didn't understand what he was angry about?

"YOU..." Derek was extremely furious with her reaction.

"Just because dad gave you some attention don't be arrogant. Do you think I don't know what's going on in your vicious mind." Derek shouted at her.

"Oh ho! did you look at that Alex? He is just a child at last. I feel pity for him."

[ "Then why not be kind to him?" ]

"First of all, I am not his mother and second of all even if I am kind to him, it will only be seen as a free pass to walk over me . So no, thankyou." Viviana explained.

"And also, support from family head is important, what can this children do to me except for talking down or mocking me."

[ "...." ] having nothing to say against the statement Alex just stayed silent.

"Derek!" Liam and Jacob stopped him from further talking.

Jacob took away Derek, while Liam made sure Viviana was okay and then took her inside the Villa with others.

"So, Alex what was the good news you were talking about in the morning. " Viviana asked after returning to her room escorted by Liam.

Alex appeared in front of Viviana again, wearing black suite looking extremely cute.

[ "The thing you asked for about automatic refilling product." ]

"What of it?" Alex is extremely cute, I have never seen such a cute child before. Viviana thought to herself while observing Alex.

[ "It's allowed but you have to pay double price." ]

"Double price? Well, that's fair."

[ "..." ]

"Make all today's purchase automatic refilling."

[ "Everything ?" ]

"Yes, everything."

Alex disappeared and appeared again after some time,

[ "Ok, it's Done." ]

"I forgot to ask, where do those items go once purchased?"

[ "In system space they are stored. And also anything stored in system space will not get spoiled. or destroyed." ] Alex explained.

"That's really good service"

[ "That's for sure. But space have limit. Every user is given 20 spaces where any 20 items could be stored, beyond that you have to purchase with points. " ]

"That's Alright." Viviana said while laying on bed while Alex sat on the bed beside her.

There was brief silence. No one spoke. Alex begin to wonder around room curiously and touching everything and observing or studying everything.

"Alex"

[ "Hm?" ]

"Good night....zzz"

[ "..." ] She slept quite quickly.

She is extremely lazy, sleeping whenever she gets chance and also quickly. Alex thought disdainfully while rummaging through Vivi's room.

After who knows how much time, Alex looked towards empty space on bed for some time then kept things in his hands aside and just slept near Viviana with his eyes open thinking of something and fell asleep unknowingly while thinking.

Time skip -

10 yrs later, At the start of school after summer vacation, Manchester Villa

Slender figure of a teenager girl was standing in front of the full length mirror wearing school uniform and applying something to her lips.

"This system item – rose tinted lip balm is just wonderful." Viviana said while applying what she called red lip balm.

"It not only nourishes and hydrates my lips, also retains its natural red color all day long with slight fruit fragrance."

[ "Of course, it's only natural since it's system item and you paid heavy price for it, even if they are on loan." ] Alex said while observing her doing her makeup.

"Hm, and not only that, my other products are also bomb, I don't even need to go to spa for any treatment. Like hair serum gives my hair keratin treatment & nourishment making it grow faster, healthier, stronger, silkier, shinier."

Alex observed her hairs after hearing this, which were long till her waist and healthy as she said having natural waves to it. They looked soo soft that even he wanted to touch it.

Viviana kept chattering while getting ready.

Viviana observed Alex through mirror, who remained in the child form even though she herself has grown into beautiful and gorgeous teenager.

"Alex"

[ "hm?" ] Alex replied, while reading a coding book which he started reading at some point.

"I thought you would also grow with me but you..." Viviana awkwardly stopped mid sentence.

Alex face blushed, but his face still retain its calm and coldness.

[ "Well, I am different than humans, don't you know?" ] He said coldly with little anger in his voice.

"Yeah, yeah" Viviana said amusingly, holding her laughter back and continued her work.

Viviana's figure in the mirror looked extremely gorgeous, with long brown hair as if silk, beautiful brown pupils with long, curly thick eye lashes making her eyes look like deer. Her soft facial features and red lips. Alex observed for a while and asked Viviana,

[ "According to my information, in every world only 25% changes would be made to your facial natural features that is to adjust according to that world's beauty standard." ]

"Hm.. therefore there isn't much difference. huh" Viviana was surprised with new information.

"Let's go Alex. I have to eat breakfast and then go to school. Other's are waiting for me."

Viviana took her bag and started to run downstairs. Where along the way she met Luca and Liam.

"Good morning, Vivi." Liam wished her happily.

"yeah!, Good morning!" Luca also said with a smile.

"Good morning!!, brother Liam and Luca" Viviana said with a beautiful smile on her face.

Liam and Luca have also grown during this years. Liam has become a gentlemen of 21 yrs old while Luca is of my age of 15 yrs old. And same goes with other children, Rose' have turned into a beautiful 20 yr old woman whereas my half brother Jacob turned 22 yrs old young man and helps Adolf in his business. 

And twins they are one year senior to me. Everyone of the male in the house is taller than me, right now except for Rose'.

"Did you made your our own breakfast and tiffin today, again?" Liam asked curiously.

"Yeah, I woke up early and made myself breakfast, now I just have to microwave it."

Viviana explained.

"You are really a good child, Vivi" Liam praised her while Vivi just smiled.

They went downstairs while chatting happily,

Downstairs everyone where already present. Viviana went to kitchen, microwaved her breakfast and brought it to the dinning hall.

"Good morning, Papa, Uncle Leonard, and everyone." Viviana greeted everyone on the table with slight smile.

Adolf and Jacob paused and nodded in acknowledgement while twins and Rose' just glanced at her.

"Good morning! My dear Niece Vivi." Leonard greeted her in return.

Dad and Uncle have aged like a fine wine, like time hasn't left any mark on their faces or body. Viviana thought while observing Adolf and Leonard.

After that, only twins and Rose' spoke with each other about school and classes and teasing each other while Luca and Liam joined them from time to time and others where silently eating there own breakfast.

Elders where first to finish their lunch and go to their office. Viviana was next to finish her breakfast and she hurried to her car leaving others behind.

After she returned to car, she arranged her bag neatly and sat comfortably, leaning on couch.

"Alex it's been 10 f*cking years, where is my target?" Viviana said coldly

[ "Well, are you saying I am hiding him from you or something ?" ] Alex was also angered by her cold statement.

"You are my system, I think you are supposed to know everything and help me" Viviana complained while coldly looking at Alex siting next her, who appeared at some point.

[ "Yes, I am system and not some god, Viviana. I know my job better than you." ] Alex said furiously with calm face and cold voice but anger could be seen through his eyes.

"...." Viviana just stared coldly directly in his eyes.

[ "Well, best of luck if you think you could do better." ] After saying this, he disappeared from her sight.

And then he appeared in his own system space. He was extremely furious.

What does she think of me? Am I her servant? Let's see if you could complete the mission if I increase her difficulty level. Alex thought mockingly while making her mission even harder.

"sigh.." Viviana calmed down herself after his disappearance.

"Alex?"

[ "..." ] Now, for what is she calling me? I am not going even if she begged me. Alex decided.

"Look, I am sorry! I was impolite. You know I didn't mean it. You are the best system I could get ."

[ "..." ] Liar! Alex said angrily In his mind and continued as his request was processed.

Alex seemed to really hurt by me this time. Viviana thought.

"I wasn't angry on you but administrator at first, but then you were cold and rude to me and my anger flared up more. And I misspoke. I am really sorry." Viviana said pitifully.

Alex hesitated for a moment and then sighed. He cancelled the mission upgrading level request but he found out he couldn't. Alex was extremely panicked.

Suddenly,

[ Ding ! Your mission has been upgraded to Extremely Difficult Level. All the best tasker! ]

Suddenly system notification sounded in silence.

Viviana was surprised by sudden change while Alex slightly panicked and felt guilty.

"Alex? what is this about?" 

[ "..." ] Hmph you deserve it. Alex thought while ignoring Viviana.

He is hiding now after making my mission difficult. Viviana thought angrily.

Well I deserve it.. sigh, I shouldn't have angered him in the first place.

"At least, I would get reward according to difficulty level of mission, right? " Viviana asked pitifully and with crying voice.

[ "Of course!" ] Alex hurriedly replied and then regretted it.

Viviana smile slightly on his response.

"So, it is like that?"

[ "..." ] no response.

"Alex, I know you did it and I deserve it. So, please don't be angry anymore." Viviana tried her best persuade her angry system.

[ "hm" ] Viviana heard his voice again.

"That's great! " Viviana said happily.

Soon, they didn't have time to chat because,

"Hey fool, what are you smiling alone like that?" Derek mockingly said, as he opened the car door and saw Vivian smiling by herself.

"yeah, tell your elder brothers also the joke" Henry said mockingly.

While Luca seemed panicked, "You three don't fight, and you two be little polite. Vivi, don't mind them."

Viviana : "You both want to hear the joke, you say?" Viviana asked with a innocent smile like she is eager to tell them her funny joke.

Henry and Derek looked at her in surprise, and then looked at each other and snickered.

"Of course, tell your brothers !" They both said in tune with innocent smile

"Um... could you come a little near, its a little secret " Viviana said with in low and soft voice and with extremely innocent face.

Twins were curious as to why usually aloof and indifferent Viviana behaving like that. What exactly was she planning?

So, they enter the car, one in front seat and one in back seat near Viviana.

"Come little more closer." Viviana signaled them to come near her.

Luca also entered the car and as he watched both twins taking their ears near Viviana's face as if gossiping something important. And felt relaxed thinking at least they are not fighting.

But soon his illusion was broken, when he heard an extremely high pitched scream that can be heard from a km away.

"aaAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Viviana screamed in their ears with her outmost throat and lung capacity.

They all were scared like little rabbit by sudden change in Viviana but soon came to realization.

Twins were extremely furious and before they could do anything, someone interrupted.

"What's going on?" Adolf appeared with files in his hand. Seemingly returned to retrieve it.

He also looked quite surprised.

All four of the children were stunned in the car by his sudden appearance, but before anyone could tell what happened, Viviana was one step ahead of them.

"Papa, they scared me." Viviana said with crying voice. Soon, her eyes turned red and crystal clear tears started falling from her eyes making her look extremely pitiful and innocent.

Everyone were shocked by her reaction, they didn't expect her to be so good at lying.

And Adolf just stared angrily at twins and told Luca to sit in between Derek and Viviana giving twins warning with his angry eyes not letting them speak.

"It's ok ! If they do something like this again, tell me and I'll cancel their pocket money for 3 months next time. And Luca teach them how to treat their sister." Adolf said sternly and returned to his car since he was busy.

Everyone stayed silent throughout the journey, glancing once or twice towards Viviana in between, until they reached their destination that is their school.
