Dimension System: SSS Rank Talent Awakening

---

One day later after the conversation with Tessa Asterius about Dabi's parents.

Eli and Mira came to the Asterius family state with kora Asterius. Today is Sunday both the siblings school is off today.

After Dabi make sure everything is alright. There's no treats for now. She called his siblings Eli and Mira.

They will live in Asterius family state for some time. Dabi took his siblings to their room, butler Beriz was carrying their luggage.

Butler Beriz said little your masters this your room. Both Eli and Mira was very amazed by the luxury of the house.

Now they are at their room. It's also very luxurious. They are in awe. The rooms are very bigger than what they expected.

Mira sat on the edge of her bed, her expression conflicted. "It's so... nice. But it doesn't feel like home."

Eli nodded in agreement, tossing a golden cushion onto the floor. "It's too perfect. I don't trust it."

Dabi crouched in front of them, his tone firm but gentle. "We're here for answers, not comfort.

Keep your eyes open and your guards up. If something feels off, tell me immediately."

The siblings nodded, their trust in him unwavering.

Later, while wandering the estate, Eli and Mira stumbled upon a neglected corner of the gardens.

Unlike the pristine grounds elsewhere, this area was overgrown with ivy and wildflowers.

"This feels more real," Mira said, running her fingers over a cracked stone bench.

Eli crouched beside a patch of flowers. "Mom loved these dabi told us do you remember Mira?" he said softly, his voice tinged with nostalgia.

Mira smiled faintly, placing a hand on his shoulder. "She did. Dabi said they reminded her of home."

The moment was bittersweet, a reminder of what they had lost and what they were fighting to reclaim.

After some sightseeing Dabi and his siblings had lunch alone in their room.

"They were resting in their room till evening."

That evening began with a summons to the grand hall, where Dabi and his siblings were formally introduced to the extended Asterius family.

The room was a spectacle of wealth and status, its high ceilings adorned with intricate murals depicting the family's legacy.

Members of the royal bloodline, clad in luxurious garments, filled the space, their eyes fixed on the newcomers.

Dabi stood tall despite the weight of their gazes, his siblings at his side.

Mira clutched his arm lightly, while Eli's curiosity flickered behind his wary expression.

"Well, isn't this quaint," a voice sneered from the back of the room. The speaker was a tall young man with sharp features and an air of entitlement.

Lord Cedric, one of Dabi's cousins, stepped forward, his smirk widening as he looked Dabi up and down.

"So this is the so called heir," Cedric continued, his tone dripping with mockery.

"Raised among commoners, no less. Tell me, do they even teach manners in the slums?"

The insult hung in the air, drawing muffled chuckles from a few relatives. Dabi met Cedric's gaze, unflinching.

"They teach resilience," Dabi replied evenly, his voice steady. "Something you might find useful."

Cedric's smirk faltered, but he quickly recovered. "Resilience won't help you here. Royal life demands more than just surviving."

"Then it's a good thing I'm not here to impress you," Dabi said, his tone calm but cutting.

The tension in the room was palpable. Several family members exchanged glances, and a few even smiled subtly, impressed by Dabi's composure.

Cedric opened his mouth to retort but was interrupted by Tessa's sharp voice.

"That's enough, Cedric," she said, stepping between them. "This is neither the time nor place for your petty games."

Cedric huffed but fell silent, retreating to the back of the room. Dabi felt Mira squeeze his arm, her silent show of how tense they are.

Dabi said don't worry you two, everything is all right. The event ends after some time.

Later that day, Dabi sought a moment of peace in the estate's extensive library.

The room was a sanctuary of knowledge, its walls lined with shelves that stretched to the ceiling.

He was skimming through a book on ancient dimensional gates when a soft sound broke the silence.

"Dabi received a call from someone."

He looked up the communication stone and find Althea Illyrian who calling him.

Dabi answers the call.

"I have something to tell you Dabi."

Dabi nodded, I am listening. Setting the book aside.

"I've been thinking," she began, her voice soft but steady. "About you ...."

Dabi frowned slightly, unsure where this was going.

"We've known each other for a while now," Althea continued, "and I've come to admire your strength, your determination.

You're unlike anyone else in this family."

Dabi's eyes narrowed. "What are you getting at, Althea?"

She hesitated, then took a deep breath.

"What if we form an alliance through marriage."

The words hung in the air, their weight sinking into Dabi's mind. He stared at her, momentarily at a loss for words.

"A marriage alliance between you and royal family would strengthen both our positions,"

Althea explained, her tone earnest.

"You'd gain influence and resources, and I'd have a partner I trust. Together, we could bring stability to the our name."

Dabi's initial shock gave way to resolve. "Althea," he said carefully, "I appreciate your honesty, and I respect you. But I can't agree to this."

"Her face fell. "Why not?"

"My focus is on my siblings and my goals," Dabi said. "I'm not interested in politics or alliances not right now. My priorities lie elsewhere."

Althea nodded slowly, disappointment flickering in her eyes.

"I understand," she said, though her voice was tinged with sadness. "Thank you for your honesty."

The problem is when we attended the party previously. Remember I make you pretend to be my boyfriend.

Dabi replied, yes I remember.

She replied, My family finds about it. Now I don't know why they are asking me too Marry you.

I told them it was fake but they didn't listen to me. They said they will talk with your family. I was very confused.

As far as I remember your parents were missing right. Dabi finally get what happening.

Althea listen, Dabi said. I am currently at Asterius family state. Its not a secret, but I am related to this family. Or you could say my father was.

I think your parents find about that.

That's why they are asking you for marriage.

Listening to Dabi, she is in shock. After few seconds. I get it now. Dabi don't worry I will try to solve the problem.

After some chit-chatting they end their conversation. Dabi return to his room.

It's been quite late. Eli and Mira might have fall sleep. Dabi thinks.

When he reaches their room. Dabi see's

They were still wake waiting for Dabi too tell what they did the entire evening.

The events of Eli and Mira-

While Dabi grappled with the challenges of integrating into the royal family, Eli and Mira found ways to navigate their new environment.

Despite the tension among the adults, the siblings' innocence and humor endeared them to many.

In the estate's stables, Eli bonded with the stable hands, asking endless questions about the care of the family's prized horses.

One of the stable hands, an older man named Gareth, chuckled at Eli's enthusiasm.

"You've got a good heart, lad," Gareth said, ruffling Eli's hair. "These animals can sense that."

Mira, meanwhile, discovered a hidden talent for diplomacy.

During a tea gathering with some of the younger members of the family, she managed to diffuse an argument between two cousins by sharing a funny story about Dabi's early cooking attempts a tale that had everyone laughing, even the sternest of the group.

"You've got a knack for making people smile," one of the cousins admitted.

Mira beamed. "It's a skill that runs in the family."

The siblings' charm extended beyond the family. They befriended the estate's staff, who appreciated their kindness and lack of pretense.

The head chef, impressed by their curiosity, even invited them to help prepare a dessert for the evening meal.

For all their adaptability, however, Eli and Mira remained grounded.

In quiet moments, they shared their observations with Dabi, offering insights that often surprised him.

"You were right about being cautious," Mira said. "Some of these people act nice, but they're not."

Eli nodded. "But there are good ones, too. Like Gareth and the chef. They remind me of home."

Dabi smiled faintly, their words reminding him why he was fighting so hard to protect them.

You both have quite the adventure.

Now it's very late, time to sleep.

That night, after the siblings had gone to bed, Dabi was summoned to Ravier's study.

The room was a stark contrast to the rest of the estate, its walls lined with books and maps rather than gilded decorations.

Ravier sat behind a large oak desk, his expression unreadable. "Come in, Dabi," he said, gesturing to a chair.

Dabi sat, his posture relaxed but his senses alert.

"I've been observing you," Ravier began, his tone measured. "You've handled yourself well, despite the challenges you've faced.

You've earned the respect of many, including those who were initially skeptical."

"Is this leading somewhere?" Dabi asked, his voice calm but direct.

Just tell me what you want to say...
