Assassin's Secret

chapter 16

Astralea's POV

Another family dinner that might end with violence. Yesterday Enzo figured out that I am Luna, I haven't seen him since then.

I know he isn't going to tell anyone because I'll kill him the moment he tries, and I believe he is smarter than that.

And he is just like me, he loves playing games.

One thing I do not miss about my home is food. Their chef is immaculate. I'm taking him with us when we are going back whether he likes it or not.

Today we are having risotto. Nex already had an argument with Demarco about how it's just spiced rice. Who knew he is so passionate about it.

"Maurizio what happened to you? You look beat up." My sister said.

She woke up and chose violence. I told her what happened, she is just here for the drama. And to be honest this dinner is getting kind of boring so I'm here for it.

"Oh, I just got into a fight with a few men. Nothing serious, they got worst of it."

Liar. He would much rather say that he got jumped than that a girl beat his ass like that.

"Huh, I guess they were wrong when they said that you are a good fighter. " Jesus Christ Mira, you really want to fight someone here.

Adron gave her a look indicating to stop, but she looked at me. I can tell her to not do it, but where is the fun in that, so I smiled back at her, and she proceeded.

Adron saw the whole thing and drank more of his wine. Father put his fork down knowing that the dinner is most likely over.

"I am a good fighter. "

"Oh really, then why are you covered in bruises?"

"There were a lot of them. All grown strong men" Yeah, sure.

"So you got jumped?"

"Something like that."

"Really? Because what I heard is that you went to a fight club of some sort and got your ass beat by one person. "

Alessandro and my father both drank whiskey. Enzo poured his mother another glass of wine. Neither of them wanted to be sober for this.

"And where did you hear that?"

"Your guards. They talk when they are bored. Mentioned you going to a club, 'Rosa' I believe, and get your ass beat by one person. And not just a person, a woman to be more specific. "

Alessandro's eyes got big. Adron took another sip of his drink and put down his fork and moved plate to the side. He was ready for what's coming.

"You couldn't have heard some nonsense like that from our guards. They speak Italian. "

"E anche io, puttana." what a queen. (And so am I bitch)

Everyone at the table froze but me. I knew she could speak Italian, they didn't. Wait till they find out that so do I.

Mira and I are fluent in multiple languages, and when we striked a deal with Italians we decided to refresh our memory.
