Milaine immediately prepared for his return to the Lysander mansion. A driver was assigned to pick himself up. At first, the entire journey to the mansion went smoothly. However, when at a deserted crossroads, suddenly a group of people stopped the car that Milaine was riding.
“Please excuse me, Miss. I can't continue the journey because we have been surrounded,” said the driver.
Milaine clucked in annoyance, one by one the men started hitting the car glass. The noise from the screams and the batons they used drained Milaine's patience.
“Hey, dog*n! Stop ruining my car!” milaine yelled as she got out of the car.
The group of men look like thugs paid to target Milaine. Without being told, Milaine already understood that it was the work of one of his brothers.
“At last you came out. Don't waste my time just killing this little girl!”
Milaine tilted the corner of her lips, she grabbed a piece of wood lying near her car.
“Why is everyone so impatient to see me die? Really troublesome. Let's go ahead! Try to attack me,” challenge Milaine accompanied by a burning eye.
They attacked Milaine simultaneously, the girl moved swiftly dodging every kind of attack that led to her. Milaine's hands look agile, he's been quietly training for the past five years to prepare for a day like this to come. The group of assassins was easily defeated by Milaine. It did not take long for him to subvert the group of assassins who were considered to be very weak.
“That really sent them to kill me. Don't make me laugh.”
When Milaine was taking a breath for a moment, the man who acted as his driver suddenly settles from behind Milaine's back. He had a knife in his right hand. It seems he tried to stab Milaine in the back.
“Death to you, crazy girl!”
The driver tried to pull Milaine's back. However, just before the tip of the knife touched his skin, Milaine twisted his body and twisted the driver's hand.
“I guessed it, you were indeed the man who was ordered to kill me. It's worth taking me to a lonely place like this. I don't care who sent you, but it seems you were misdirected.”
Milaine increased the strength of her hand grip to the point of causing the man tremendous pain.
“Arrgghhh! L-let go! Let me go, Miss .. I was just told, s-I have no intention of killing you. T-Please a-pardon say—”
“Toooooooo!” Milaine turned the driver's hand, he forcibly grabbed his knife and stabbed him in the stomach three times.
Milaine threw the knife away, the mini dress that wrapped her body was now full of bloodstains.
“Do they think I won't be able to return alive to Lysander's residence? So naive. I'd better make them pay for this later. Though I intend to return in clean clothes,” muttered Milaine grumbled.
***
At the Lysander residence, everyone seemed to be working as usual. They did not welcome Milaine's return. Precisely the atmosphere of the mansion felt burdensome because none of the workers wanted Milaine back to the residence. Naturally, it was because they were afraid that Milaine would threaten their lives.
“Nigel, when are you going to sit on the terrace? The weather is cold. How about your pain relapse again later?”
Fiona admonished Nigel on the porch of the pavilion. The younger brother of Milaine was waiting for his brother's arrival. However, due to her weak body, Fiona always forbade her from being exposed to cold air for too long.
“No, Mother. I'm waiting for Brother. No one in this residence welcomes Brother besides me,” Nigel said.
Fiona gave a rude snort hearing Nigel's reply, she didn't even expect the child to return to this residence again. Fiona also prays that Milaine is stricken on the way so that she can hold a funeral for her daughter.
“No need to wait for that crazy girl. Better get in now. There is no point in welcoming a killer like her,” Fiona said speaking in a soft tone.
“I've said it repeatedly. Brother is not a killer, he never—”
Nigel's eyes were perfectly rounded when he saw the figure of the woman he longed for appearing before him.
“Kakak!”
Suddenly Nigel got up from the chair and immediately ran to hold Milaine. To be honest, Milaine was stunned to see her brother grow taller than her. They did not meet for five years because Nigel was forbidden by Fiona to meet him. Moreover, Fiona always put a bodyguard on each side to keep an eye on Nigel's movements.
“How are you, Nigel? Are you healthy?” ask Milaine.
“Yes, as Brother saw. I am now also much taller than five years ago.”
Milaine commented a thin smile, she rubbed the top of Nigel's head. Five years passed by without giving him a chance to witness Nigel's growth.
“I'm glad to see you grow up. From now on let Brother take care of you. Understand?” milaine.
Nigel nodded enthusiastically. “Yes, I get it.”
Nigel did not stop smiling, Fiona could not do anything because this was the first time after five years she saw Nigel so cheerful.
“But, Brother ... Why are your clothes covered in blood? Did something happen on that trip?” Nigel asked after consciously seeing blood spots on Milaine's mini dress.
“Yes, there was a little problem on the way, but I managed to overcome it. Now let's go inside. I have something for you,” Milaine said.
“Something? Did Brother prepare a gift for me?”
“Yes, think of it like that. I'll show you later.”
Milaine took Nigel into the residence. When he set foot on the terrace, his steps were immediately stopped by Fiona.
“Who let you in?” Fiona intercepts Milaine with a cynical look on her face.
Milaine took a deep breath. “Nigel, you come in first. I have to speak seriously with our Mother.”
Nigel planned to stop the situation. However, it seemed that the atmosphere between them was not something he could prevent.
“Alright, I'll wait for Brother inside.”
Milaine folded both hands on the chest, now she was as tall as her mother. Unlike five years ago, he was still a child.
“Why am I not allowed in? Though I am Miss in this residence.”
“I don't care about that. Your existence will only threaten Nigel's life. Why do you have to go back? I'd rather you rot in a mental hospital,” press Fiona.
“If I die, who will protect Nigel? After all, my existence is still needed by Nigel. Even if you are my mother, you have no right to ban me or expel me from this residence,” Milaine replied.
Fiona is speechless, unexpectedly Milaine grows up to be a very brave girl. Though he had never looked straight at Fiona or said presumptuously.
“I don't need you to protect Nigel. You're just an unlucky child, I'm afraid Nigel gets hurt with you.”
Milaine glared at Fiona and said, “Mother, you are weak and have no power in this residence. So, what can you count on? Nothing is it?”
