The two brothers finally reached the summit of the hill, where a magnificent gate stood before them. Its towering presence hinted at the grandeur that awaited on the other side. Through the ornate iron bars, they caught a glimpse of a sprawling, luxurious house adorned with intricate designs and elegant architecture.

To the side of the main house, they noticed two charming miniature glass structures. On the right, a transparent enclosure revealed a sparkling pool, its azure waters inviting and refreshing. On the left, a meticulously manicured garden stretched out, complete with vibrant flowers, lush greenery, and a tranquil pond shimmering with golden koi fish.

The sight before them was nothing short of enchanting. It seemed like a hidden paradise nestled amidst the mountainous landscape. The brothers couldn't help but marvel at the beauty that lay beyond the gate, their anticipation growing as they prepared to step into this oasis of splendor.

The entire area was adorned with a multitude of blossoming flowers, creating a mesmerizing spectacle. Only three pathways, leading directly to the houses, were accessible amidst the enchanting floral paradise. There was no other way to navigate through, as the vibrant blooms completely encircled the surroundings.

"Damn, the rumors were true. This guy really has a profound love for plants," Kaito exclaimed, his gaze fixed upon the flowers that embraced the gate, adding an ethereal charm to the scene.

"This is no secret, Brother. Even in their Estate, Sir Arryn's house is like a botanical sanctuary," Iko replied with a smirk. Kaito's eyebrows shot up in surprise as he processed the information.

A brief moment of silence passed before Kaito broke it with a chuckle. "Well, looks like we're about to step into a whole new level of greenery. I hope we don't get lost in the jungle!"

Iko laughed in agreement. "Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if we need a machete to find our way around. Let's hope Sir Arryn doesn't mistake us for exotic plant specimens!"

The image of them being mistaken for rare plants in Sir Arryn's lush estate brought a mix of amusement and apprehension to their minds.

"This place is eerily quiet," Kaito muttered, realizing that even the chirping of birds was absent. They were not accustomed to such silence. In their own estate, they were always boisterous, unable to stay still or bear quiet moments. Well, unless they had guests or were engaged in important discussions.

"Brother, should we give the doorbell a good ring?" Kaito looked at Iko, who nodded in agreement.

With mischievous grins, the brothers approached the door, ready to break the tranquility of Sir Arryn's residence with an unexpected burst of noise. Little did they know, their disruptive intentions were about to be met with a surprise of their own.

After several rounds of ringing the doorbell, the distant sound of a door opening reached their ears. Instantly, their full attention fixated on the door, anticipation coursing through their veins.

Curiosity overwhelmed them as they wondered what the renowned eldest young master Evanov looked like. Whispers of his incomparable beauty had circulated, with claims that no words could capture the essence of his allure. However, they couldn't fully embrace the idea that someone's beauty was beyond description with a single word.

Yet, they couldn't resist the allure of rumors that swirled within their social circles. After all, both brothers had a penchant for gossip, and the mysterious persona of Sir Arryn Evanov only fueled their intrigue.

As the door swung open, Kaito and Iko found themselves utterly astounded. Their beliefs and expectations were instantly shattered, crumbling into tiny fragments before their eyes.

Standing before them was a tall, slender man clad in a long, flowing white robe. His appearance was nothing short of mesmerizing. Silky white hair cascaded down his shoulders, framing a small, delicate face. His nose had an elegant, pointed shape, and his eyes were a captivating shade of gray mist. Rosy cheeks and lips as red as cherries added a touch of allure to his enchanting features. To top it all off, there was a beauty mark positioned just below his mouth.

"Truly bewitching," the words escaped their lips simultaneously, their voices filled with awe and admiration.

The man gazed at them curiously, seemingly unperturbed by their stunned expressions. His presence exuded an air of grace and mystery, leaving Kaito and Iko captivated by his otherworldly charm.

In that moment, they realized that the rumors and whispers they had heard about Arryn Evanov's ethereal beauty were not exaggerations. He truly possessed an enchanting allure that defied words and left them spellbound.

Arryn fixed his gaze on the two men, studying their red and black hair, and finally, he recognized them. With purposeful strides, he approached them and swiftly unlocked the gate.

Arryn, though recognizing the two men from his past life, decided to play the part of a stranger in this new existence. In this current life, he had chosen seclusion, never venturing outside or attending any social gatherings. Maintaining an air of unfamiliarity, he approached Kaito and Iko with an amiable smile, masking the knowledge of their previous encounters.

As he neared them, he noticed Kaito and Iko still in awe, their eyes locked on him. Arryn greeted them with a warm smile, his voice carrying a hint of curiosity.

With a warm tone, he greeted them, carefully concealing any trace of recognition. "Good afternoon," he said, his voice carrying a hint of curiosity. "Forgive my ignorance, but may I inquire about the purpose of your visit to my humble residence?"

The two brothers stood frozen in their spots, unable to move even an inch. Their dazed expressions gave Arryn a momentary pause, finding the situation quite peculiar. "This is quite a peculiar sight," Arryn couldn't help but think, amused by their bewildered state.

Breaking the silence, Arryn added with a hint of playfulness, "Are you two perhaps lost? Or have my unruly plants cast their spell on you?" He gestured towards the surrounding flora, emphasizing the whimsical nature of his remark.
