~ THEYU FAMILY ~

Clank clank

"Daddy, my friend has a new bag, she said it was a gift from her parents for her half-year birthday! Dad! Where's my half-year birthday gift?" Gilda Theyu raised her eyebrows as she complains while eating her shrimps.

Mrs. Theyu frowned, "What's a half-year birthday? Is that even a thing?"

Gilda Theyu's eyes widen from surprise, "What are you? A provincial girl? Of course, every year we have one birthday right? But that's boring! So people nowadays make two birthdays by splitting birthdays into half!"

"Huh?" Director Theyu made a weird face as he could not understand what this child thinking.

Gilda rolled her eyes, "My birthday is in August right? What's half of it? February isn't? Then my half birthday is in February with the same day of my August whole birthday!"

"That's nonsense," Director Theyu shook his head, "It's just a waste of money,"

"Daddy!" Gilda pouted, "Well, at least buy me something! Do you want them to think I'm a poor kid? No way! What do you think they will think about our family?"

Gilda smirked, she knows what her parents' weaknesses are. The family's reputation.

And she was right, her father flinched and so is her mother. "Honey, just buy her something. She can just say we celebrate it privately to show others how much we care about each other."

Director Theyu grunted as he wiped his mouth with a table napkin, "Fine, I'll give you money for it, prepare it and wrap it up nicely, understand?"

"Yes, honey, I will do so." Mrs. Theyu nodded and continue their food.

Of course, Gilda was grateful! She smiled widely and complimented them! "Thank you, daddy! Thank you, mommy! You two are the best!"

Director Theyu smirked.

However, that smirked didn't last as someone came in unannounced. Director Theyu frowned looking who it was, a stunning but mysterious woman whom he recognized, "Mrs. Santiago, what brings you here--- surprisingly?"

"Oh, just came here to give your daughter her belated half-year birthday~" Leila wore black clothes covering her whole body including her hands. As soon as she said those, she wore her prepared mouth mask, tightened her gloves and showed her favourite weapon--- war fan.

With its hidden needles that hold indecipherable poison, with its sharp small knives to serve as baselines, and smooth sheets to fold it. It is perfect for an elegant assassin such as her.

Seeing the polished war fan she was holding, Director Theyu instantly stood up, " Mrs. Santiago, what are you planning? "

"It's Madam for you~ Don't you think?" Leila smirked and rapidly went towards him. In a flash, she was right behind him with her war fan pointing at his neck.

"Nyah!" The wife and daughter went pale and screamed, "Help! Guards! Maids!"

"Anyone!" Gilda shivered and walking gradually but backwardly away from her father. She was hoping that this woman who her father called Mrs. Santiago would only harm her father and won't glance at her.

However, that doesn't seem the case...

"Another step, dear, and you'll meet your ancestors first before your father~" Leila winked at her.

Gilda bit her lip and didn't move an inch. So does her mother, "Ma-madam... W-what brings you here in our worthless house? D-did my husband offended you?"

"Huh! Nonsense! I never offended anyone!" Director Theyu raised his chin that made his neck exhibit for the sharp small knife pointing at him.

"Pft," Leila ridiculed them, "I just told you guys what I am here for yet you asked again. What are you? Your husband's parrot?"

Mrs. Theyu's cheeks turned red and shut her mouth.

Leila smirked at this scene, "Well, this is boring, how about light up our game?" With a single click, the sharp knife was gone but was replaced by a poison needle instead and struck it into Director Theyu's neck.

Soon, his screams were heard that frightened the mother and daughter duo, "Aaagghh!"

Director Theyu fell on the ground and Leila went next behind Mrs. Theyu and their daughter, Gilda. Like Director Theyu, the two were also struck with the poison needles.

"Now, now, we're just starting ~ Stand up ya'll~ "

~ AT THE MANSION ~

Click...

From the bookshelf at the room at the end of the hallway, a woman in black sneaking in... Unfortunately, a toddler was slightly awoken from the noise...

"Hmm? Mom?" Carla moved her body to the side to see who it was. As her eyes blinking, she saw her mother closing the bookshelf.

"Continue your sweet dreams, my dear, it's still pretty late~" Leila gave her a flying kiss and went straight to the bathroom.

Carla listened to her mother and went back to sleep.

The next morning, Carla saw her brother and mother wasn't on the bed anymore but heard a running water sound in the bathroom.

Slightly squeezing her eyes and adjusted her eyesight, Carla yawned and stood up.

However, to her surprise, a blue-green butterfly emerges from her mark on the left palm. "Master!"

Startled, Carla slightly back off, "W-what is it Jade?"

"Master... Last night Madam Leila killed--- well, not entirely yet, but! It's a director from the office and his family!" Jade flying rapidly from and to in front of her.

Carla tilted her head and blinked her sleepy eyes, "They probably did something to mother... Anyway, it's fine, I trust mom, she knows what she's doing."

Jade jaw dropped as she was stunned by her master's reaction! Shouldn't she be worried? But then again what for?

Jade pondered about human's morals. It seems her master's trust is stronger than what normal people's ethics are. She shrugged as she watched her master went to the bathroom with her new clothes from the drawer.

Meanwhile, the Theyu Household turned upside down early morning as the maids, guards, and other workers woke up from the ground and saw their masters lying on the dining area.
