Chapter 24: Ella Goes To The Mansion (1/2)

”Address?”

The masked man asked.

”Pickup.”

Aleshia replied. There were 2 ways she could get her orders, she could either have it delivered to an address or pick it up directly. If she was to have it delivered to an address, it would have to be accepted by her, and waiting for the delivery to arrive is a pain. So picking it up is the most convenient option.

”Credit or Gold?”

”Credit.”

Aleshia paid using credits. It was like a currency but only usable in the branches of the Blood Flower Assassin Organization.

The masked man silently nodded and Aleshia left the Lanika Branch of the Blood Flower Assassin Organization. She sighed in relief after leaving that place. The people inside are very cold and full of bloodlust. It was suffocating being around them. Especially that receptionist, she was sure that he could easily defeat her.

Two days quickly passed by and Aleshia was back inside her home at the slums. She was fixing Ella's clothes as they were about to go to the Horiel mansion. She at least had to make sure her little sister looks presentable.

Aleshia was wearing a new green dress that Lawrend had gifted her a few days ago. It was something custom-tailored for her. She was amazed at the beautiful design and she liked it very much. She didn't have to leave the mansion wearing a maid uniform anymore.

”Big Sister, where are we going?”

Ella asked Aleshia with a face filled with innocent curiosity. Aleshia had yet to explain to Ella that she was gonna live inside the Horiel mansion while she would go on a long journey.

”We're going to where I work.”

Aleshia smiled and replied at Ella. To be honest, she was still very nervous about this. She prepared a lot of stuff just in case things went wrong.

”Big Sister, you haven't told me where you work yet.”

Ella was downcast as she spoke. She was really curious about where her big sister is working but Aleshia never mentioned any details about her new work to her. She didn't mind as her big sister was already doing something similar in the past with her assassin missions, but it still made her sad.

”You'll see. It's inside a big~ mansion. The Young Master said that you can play there. There's even a soft bed for you to sleep at.”

Aleshia explained to Ella with a big smile on her face. Her little sister is really such a gem. She was so curious and so innocent. She wondered what she would have become if she also had a big sister she could rely on.

'It must be nice.' Aleshia's thoughts wandered around aimlessly as she fixed her little sister's clothes.

Shortly after, Aleshia stood up and smiled in satisfaction.

”Beautiful Ella!”

”Hehehe, thank you, Big Sister.”

Ella's face burst into cuteness as she fidgeted from her big sister's praise. If you look at her small and cute face right now, you would think that she was the cutest thing in the world.

Aleshia patted Ella on the head and held her hand. They left the slum district, passed through the busy merchant district, and arrived in the noble district.

The city guard from before was still stationed there and he smiled at Aleshia when he saw her enter. By this point, he was already used to her coming in and out of the gates of the noble district. He could be said to have developed a good relationship with her.

They soon arrived in front of the Horiel mansion and Ella's face was full of amazement. She opened her mouth wide as she looked at the largest mansion in the city of Lanika.

”Wooooooooooow! That's where you work, Big Sister?”

Stars were sparkling in Ella's eyes as she looked up at Aleshia.
