Anatolya woke up early the next morning and called for her brother in the greenhouse. Given it was a nice rainy day and the temperature was perfect she decided to go out to the greenhouse. When Anatolya's brother, Taner, arrived Anatolya told him to sit down and got straight to the point.
"Taner" she continued, "I'm going to leave the house to become an assassin". Taner stayed silent. Seeing that, Anatolya continued, "I want to kill the stupid Mistress. I want revenge. Not only for our parents, but for the other nobles who had to suffer by her. I will become an assassin, sign up for that wanted poster, and even if it takes years, I will do it. I will kill her.
Taner started to speak up. "I want to come too. I will help you and-", Taner was cut off by Anatolya, "NO". Anatolya raised her voice. Taner flinched. She was scared, scared that her brother might die. Scared that they will both die. Scared that their bloodline would end. Anatolya realized that she scared her brother so she calmed down for a moment and told her brother, "See the moment I raised my voice, you flinched, you're not suited for this." Anatolya tried to convince her brother.
Taner stared at her dead in the eye and said, "I will practice then, I will make sure not to get in your way. So please let me come with you!"
Anatolya sighed and looked at her brother, "And who would take care of the household affairs and mansion?" Taner instantly answered, "Hands and May! They already told me that as long as you allow me to be an assassin they will take care of everything!". Taner was excited. He was so sure he could go now.
And he was right, Anatolya couldn't think of anything else to say. So she agreed. The siblings came out of the greenhouse and Hands and May were standing there saying that the carriage was ready to go.
Anatolya was surprised as she hadn't told anyone but her brother, but realized when she and her brother were conversing that Hands and May probably already knew and told Taner in the first place.
