6 Great Family Banquet Invitation (2/2)

”I can't wait for that day as well.”Reed and Reece then started talking about the family affairs and as they were talking, a sound of knocking was heard coming from the door.

”Come in” Reece said

”Vance then came in.

”I'm sorry for the interruption but I have something to give you master,” Vance said as he then gave a letter to Reece. Reece took the letter from Vance and opened up the letter. He started reading the letter. It was an letter of invitation to a banquet being hosted by the Vice Family.

”It seems that the Vice family is hosting a banquet tomorrow night and is inviting us to it. They want to elude themselves by being friendly hoping that we don't suspect them. If I didn't get the information of the cooperation of the three houses working to assassinate me son it would've worked but since I do have the information, this attempt to elude themselves is futile. ” Reece said with a smirk and disdain.

”So are we going to to the banquet? Reed asked Reece.

”Of course we are, if we don't go then the Vice Family will know that we already suspect them. So we should go to keep that from happening.” Reece then kept talking as he placed the letter on his desk and said to Reece

”It's getting late so you should go to sleep and prepare yourself for tomorrow nights banquet.”

”Yes dad, good night,” Reed replied back.

”Good night Reed,” Reece said back with a smile.

Leaving his dads office he then went towards his room and opened the door to enter it. Reeds room wasn't as luxurious as a normal rich kids room. It was a big room but the only thing in it were furniture a normal room would have. Reed changed into his sleep clothe and turned off the light to the room then went to his bed to sleep.

It usually didn't go to sleep but just as he was about to go to sleep he heard his room door opened up. Reed lifted his head up from his pillow and looked towards his room. The person he saw was Aily wearing pajamas.

”What's the matter Aily? Reed asked Aily. He was confused on why she came into the room at this time.

”I couldn't sleep alone and I didn't want to ask mom, so I went to your room to see if I could sleep with you.” Aily replied back in a shy voice.

Hearing what she asked, Reed couldn't help but jump in shock. Even though Reed was a child physically he was older mentally and so thinking of sleeping with a six year old girl really scared him. He tried to think of every way to prevent her from sleeping him but the only thing he said was

”But I'm guy and you a girl. Girls like you shouldn't sleep with other guys.”” It was a terrible excuse but it was the only thing he could think of.

”But you said that we were family, and that you would always be by my side. You pinky promised too. Don't tell me you're going to break our pinky promise.” Alice said as she started to cry

”Oh shit she pulled out that card” Reed thought.

Fine fine, you can sleep with me, so please stop crying” Reed begged Aily

Aily stopped crying and then walked to get on Reed's bed and placed her head on a pillow to the right of him. Seeing Aily putting her head on the pillow facing the other direction Reed started to calm down and placed his head down back on his pillow.

”Hey Reed.” Aily called out.

”Yes Aily?” Reed asked.

”Thank you for everything”
