Episode 45 - Assassination at the Royal Palace 15 'Assassin Origin'

2 small short legs appeared from underneath Aeselak's dress.

"WHAT'S THAT THING!!!"

Crown Prince Ren's eyes almost popped out of his eye socket, screaming in shock and quickly stepping backward while pointing at the 2 weird legs underneath Aeselak's dress.

"WHY? WHY? WHAT? WHAT!!"

Running over to Louis to hide away from the foreign object that suddenly appeared out of nowhere!

Ignoring the Crown Prince's cries of terror and warning to move away from the foreign entity, Aedelak pulled the two legs out, further revealing the body of a kid who everyone completely forgot about!

Everyone was dumbstruck by the child who appeared out of nowhere!

"Wha.. What is that?"

Crown Prince Ren was still confused at the situation, the situation not at all sinking into his head.

"My brother"

Louis got rid of Ren's hands that were tightly plastered to his own arm, and walked to his youngest brother, picking him up and carefully inspecting him from head to toe.

It wasn't as if he wasn't surprised, but more like he was beyond flabbergasted! Never thinking Aernest would still be with them! He thought Ramon had taken Aernest with him, but thinking back, it was impossible for Ramon to run that fast holding onto someone.

'So he was hiding the whole time…'

Relief washed over him to see Aernest not having a single scratch or bruising, seemingly never enduring any hit.

'Was that why she didn't defend herself, always crouching so that the man's hits won't touch Aernest?''

He wondered as his sight slowly went towards Aeselak.

"Very reckless! If the man found out, Young Master Aernest would have been in immediate danger!"

Aedelak quickly reprimanded Aeselak! But then regretted it, wanting to hit herself because of her habitual naggings.

"Ha…"

Deeply exhaling, Louis frowned. His family is surrounded by good and loyal people. In fact, they might be too good!

Sighing again, he then realized something was wrong with Aernest since earlier today! Glancing back at his younger brother, he pondered with many thoughts.

'He was supposed to be incredibly sensitive with sounds so why…'

Why was he so quiet? He was someone who absolutely detested anything loud! Yet!

'He looks unbothered..'

Aernest huge pink eyes staring straight into Louis' eyes, like nothing, ever happened.

......

"...."

Wanting to see how Aeselak was doing, Eugene flipped herself over, watching Aeselak and Aedelak with her head awkwardly tilted upwards.

"Heehe?" (Euria)

"..." 'Why is reality so…'

Eugene could feel every single pound of her heart beating, goosebumps rising on her skin, as she stared at the harsh reality of this world..

'Why..Why her?'

That bloodied person wasn't just some random person passing by her on the streets, but someone whom she saw everyday! Someone who was somewhat annoying, yet bothered to care for her.

No matter how cautious Eugene was around people of this world, she still understands the types of people around her! They weren't people hiding behind a fake mask but people who were genuine about everything they do!

Yet… What kind of fate does Aeselak have to deserve this?

And…

'What is this emotion I am feeling?'

Eugene tightly clenched her small tiny fist. An uncomfortable feeling budding in her chest.

For the first time really questioning why she reincarnated. -What was the point? Was it to relive being assaulted? Or was it to watch someone close to her going through the same torturous things?

-Badum-Badum-

As her heart thumped fiercely in her chest, she was suddenly reminded of the dream she had previously during the day.

"It's time to wake up."

"Remember, and fight."

'Was my dream a premonition?'

Was it telling her something? If so, that was really vague.

'Was it…. about my former life?'

If she truly connects the dots, the premonition dream wasn't about the dangerous situation today, but rather about her former life…. no, her former family.

Her late family were assassins who worked legally for the country. But even if her entire family members were people who kill for a living, that doesn't mean she herself was a part of them. In fact, she was the only one out of her hundred aunts, uncles, and cousin, who wasn't a contracted killer.

Not only was she the only one who didn't follow her family's roots, she never practiced a single ounce of Martial Arts. It wasn't as if she herself chose not to, but that she was forbidden to.

Her grandmother wanted to end the curse that runs in the family, but that resulted in her being the 'abnormal' one in the family. The only thing she was allowed to do that contained 'fighting' was reading their family heirloom, which was her family's own style of Martial Arts.

'Was this what my former self wanted her to remember?'

Feeling like her chest was stripped out of the air, she tightly clenched her hand that was intertwined with Euria's hand. Her eyes slightly waver as she choked on her thoughts, shaking her head lightly to calm down.

"Nai?" 'Eugeneia?'

Euria called Eugene, slightly feeling nervous to see her eldest sister being anxious. She wanted to see Eugene's face, but she was not able to flip her body like Eugene, so, therefore, can only feel Eugene's emotions through their tiny intertwined hands.

"Hmm.."

Eugene answered Euria who woke her up from her trance.

That's right. She was also a baby. She was way too weak to even do anything, let alone practice self-defense. There was still time to carefully think and remember.

Right now, her brain was the only functioning body part! She shouldn't overload it with impossible things.
