In a room, a boy of no more than 14 years was lying on the bed while being surrounded by a group of people in the same robe donning over their clothes who were chanting in an unknown language trying to heal the boy.
A beautiful woman with platinum silver hair that seemed to reach her waist who seemed to be in her early thirties said with a sense of concern in her voice "What do you think? When will he wake up? Is he fine?" while her eyes were locked on the boy who seemed to contain some sort of semblance to her.
The man who was standing beside her with black hair adorned with luxurious clothing that seemed to increase his charm replied in a stern tone "He'll be fine. He is our child after all. You should trust him"
The man then walked towards the one who oversaw the group of healers and questioned him "What's going on? Why is it taking so long? Didn't you say he would wake up with just a few low-tier potions?"
The man with grey hair seemingly confused but still replied after thinking shortly "His body is not healing with lowest-tier potions so we asked for low-tier ones but even that seemed to not work so we used higher spells to heal him as the last resort. It seems the drugs he took are stopping them from working. But he should wake up any time soon"
The father of the son, Davin Dawner, relayed what he heard to his wife, Viria Dawner, about the matter as he consoled her "He'll wake up soon, so don't attack him with questions and wait for him to calm down, okay?"
In response, Viria just nodded, and Davin knew she wouldn't listen as she is his mother and has spent most of the time with him even while taking care of business unlike him who had to do more work as the family head and because his father, Nathaniel Dawner, just shirked away the work unto him.

In another room of the mansion, a girl with a striking resemblance to Viria, stood motionless and nervous as, if anything happened to that good-for-nothing twin of her and if they figure out that he has lowest-tier and low-tier potions resistance, they'll surely investigate and it would lead to her.
But she was also elated that her 'genius' brother had gone to the point of drug abuse to commit suicide because then her parents would focus on her and she will get their love as they'd showered her brother with love even after he awakened only D-rank potential whilst she awakened at minimum S-rank potential.
This girl also had striking platinum silver hair like her mother but with goldish tendrils at the end and looked 14 was none other than the twin sister of the boy. Her name was Evelyn Dawner, she was one of the most beautiful women amongst her peers yet no one knew her true nature.

In another room even bigger than the previous two there were 2 people standing opposite,
A butler who looked to be in his late forties with grey hair bowed to the young handsome man who resembled Davin, with black hair and a tall height of 204 cm(6 foot 8 inch) with a muscular build that looked lean and athletic but could not be hidden beneath his clothes.
The young man, Arthur Dawner, was an A+ rank(peak A-rank) at the young age of 21, he was hailed as a genius. He looked at the butler and spoke "Uncle Stephan, how many times have I told you not to bow to me, you have been working here since my father was a child so please stop it"
The butler named Stephan just nodded perfunctorily, as if not hearing what the man said as he spoke in a serious tone "Young master Arthur, it seems like your younger brother's condition is quite precarious"
Before he could continue, a massive pressure from the man in front seemed to emanate to the entirety of the room, Arthur hurriedly took back the pressure and beckoned the old man to continue.
The butler was also an A-rank as he was the head butler from Davin's generation so he didn't mind it and sensing the mood explained quickly "Young master seems to have consumed drugs to commit suicide and the family's secret guards brought him back by the time he had fainted in 'Hailey's Harmonious Inn'. As soon as news reached your father, he immediately concealed it and called for healers. Whereas the Lady of the house was about to go and destroy the inn but was stopped barely by the family head" Stephan finished while wiping out his cold sweat.
Arthur finally lost it and spoke through gritted teeth with anger as his pressure kept increasing while he was listening "I just came home from a dungeon raid only to hear that brat trying to commit suicide, it's not like he was an outcast or hated by anyone. Hell, no one even berated him, even mother and father loved him unconditionally even after his low potential. What's the deal with him? No one should have put any pressure on him and he was going to join the academy next year anyway. We are even trying to find elixirs and potions to increase potential so why did he lose himself? Did he cage himself in his own delusions and lost himself? No, that can't be, he has an exceptional brain to the point that even I was stunned by him when father asked me to test him."
Finally, Arthur issued one command after calming himself down "Find what happened to him and why he took this step, there has to be a reason, a trigger. I refuse to believe he can do such a thing for his low potential, that's just beyond stupid. I am going to meet mother and father"
The butler just nodded and moved on with the task while forgetting whatever he shouldn't speak of to anyone. As it wasn't the first time, he had heard secrets that would make this family the target of many hyenas lurking in the shadows waiting for any chance to strike them down.
He just sighed and left to do the task, knowing he won't find anything but still needed to try his best. He harboured doubts about Evelyn but she was his sister, surely, she wouldn't do anything that serious? He just shook off his uneasy feelings and continued walking.
While Arthur and Evelyn were both worried though for reasons of their own yet they shared the single thought that he should wake up sooner than later and explain his actions as he was still their little/elder brother.
