A few weeks later after the funeral, Anatolya started to wonder why the bandits hadn't been found yet and hired private investigators. Another week later as Anatolya was waiting for the results to come, she heard a knock on the office door. Anatolya asked who it was and after hearing it was her brother she let him in. Taner, a slightly tan boy with dark brown hair matching his dark brown eyes, Anatolya's little brother who still hasn't had his debut yet, as he was 16, came into the room. Anatolya looked up from her papers and asked why he came.
"Anatosh, I found something." Taner said to Anatolya, using her nickname that only her family would call her, and showed his sister a wanted poster.
"What is that?" Anatolya asked, eyeing the piece of paper suspiciously. "A wanted poster." Taner replied. "Of who?" Anatolya asks, and takes the paper from her brother's hands. "It's a wanted poster of the Emperor's most favored Mistress." Taner said as Anatolya glanced back at the photo on the poster, there was a beautiful young woman with light blond hair, to match with the hair the woman also had bold and yet beautiful soft blue eyes. She had skin as white as snow and lips as bold and red as blood. "She's been responsible for many noble's deaths in the past, and rumor has it that she likes beheading people who disobey the rules she makes. She might've been the one who murdered our parents-"
"Where did you find this?" Anatolya interrupted. "The bar-" Anatolya interrupted again, "Why are you at the bar without my permission? You aren't even at the required age to drink-"
"I wanted to help." Taner started to yell, "I want to avenge our parents!"
"I hired private investigators for a reason, what if bad rumors came up about our family?" Anatolya said, her calm voice slowly rising. Taner screamed "I JUST WANTED TO HELP! THEY PROBABLY WON'T BE ABLE TO DO MUCH ANYWAYS!" Anatolya glared at Taner, Taner started to calm down and lowered his voice,
"All they do is investigate scenes without the Blue Sneetch Knights even knowing. All the information they got was probably already found out by the Knights, and the Knights are more experienced so they probably found out more than the investigators anyway. Instead of waiting for them, it would have been better if we investigated it ourselves." Taner, finally calming down, explained.
Anatolya sighed and looked down at the wanted poster in her hands again. She thought for a moment and looked up at her brother. "I forgive you this time, but if you do this again there will be consequences," Anatolya continued, "and I think your thinking was better than mine, you're right we should've investigated ourselves."
Taner nodded without saying anything and before leaving, the siblings looked each other in the eyes. At that moment they both thought the same thing, they wanted revenge.
