Everyone in the room was silent as Roxanne spoke, even Shin had calmed down to stare at her with wide eyes, before Jeremy stood up.
"What do you mean, he's poisoned!? Who would poison a mere butler!?" He yelled in confusion, glancing around the room frantically.
"Butler?" Shin scoffed, rolling his eyes even though he still can't move. "You fucks must be delusional if you think I'd work for your sorry asses." He finished with a huff of amusement.
Dion looked over at Shin with a raised brow before speaking. "You lost your memories, a lot has changed in the last three years." He says to the paralyzed man.
"Who would poison Shiro, anyway?" Jeremy asked as he sat back down, crossing his arms with a slightly annoyed huff.
"Shiro?" Shin questioned and then glanced at Dion. "Why the hell do you know my name, and they don't?" He asks in slight confusion.
Dion paused and tilted his head a bit. "I found out by accident." He says simply, not explaining further, and before Shin could continue talking, Lant spoke up.
"Shiro isn't your name?" Lant asked, his face as stoic as usual, but he seemed a bit curious.
"No shit it's not my name." Shin said with a scoff. Everyone was silent for a moment, as if asking him to continue. He rolled his eyes. "It's Shin, dumb fucks."
Everyone continued to stare before Jeremy spoke up once again. "Why the hell would you need a fake name?" He asked with obvious confusion laced in his voice.
"Cause I'm an assassin, obviously." Shin said as if that was the only explanation, making Jeremy immediately falter in his step. He was the only one who looked surprised.
Lant looked as if he already knew, same with Dion obviously. Roxanne had her usual calm smile. While Jeremy had wide eyes and his lips parted.
"I see." Lant said, nodding his head with his arms crossed. "I suppose I was right, then." He finishes without giving an explanation, making Shin stare at him as if he was a bug on the road.
"Alright, I'm not even going to question that." Shin said with a slightly annoyed sigh, shaking his head. It seems the poison Dion gave him wore off.
"Why's this bastard know me?" Shin finally asked, pointing a thumb as Dion.
"I saw you kill a few guys in an alley way." Dion answered as he looked down at Shin, his expression neutral, but his eyes showed an emotion Shin couldn't place.
"And you didn't rat me out? Are you stupid?" Shin asked bluntly as he looked up at the other man, his brow raised in a confused expression.
"You interested me." Dion said with a small shrug, not seeming bothered at all.
"Dumbass reason." Shin muttered with an annoyed sigh, turning towards Roxanne. "You look like the only competent one, do you know what poisoned was used?" He asked as he crossed his arms.
"I do not, unfortunately." Roxanne said with her normal, calm smile. "It seems it is a new poison. Though, from what I can tell..." She paused and glanced around the room. "I'm almost certain it could be deadly."
Everyone in the room was silent after that, almost everyone looked surprised besides Roxanne and Shin.
Lant looked as if he hadn't predicted such a thing, Jeremy just seemed shocked, while Dion.. looked as if his world shattered right before his eyes.
His eyes were wide and body tense, staring down at the calm Shin as if he wanted to cry and scream at the same time.
"Why are you all freaking out so much?" Shin questioned as if he didn't just hear about his possible death. "I'm an assassin, it's not like its a surprise."
No one said anything to that, just staring at him as if he grew two heads, making him suck his teeth awkwardly.
"Aren't I just a butler?" Shin questioned with a raised brow.
"No." Dion said immediately as he stared down at the other man, making Shin raise his brow at the other before his eyes flashed with recognition.
"Oh, shit." Shin muttered before letting out a laugh of slight disbelief. "You're fucking in love with me, aren't you?" He asked with an almost amused grin.
Dion didn't say anything, making the rest of the Agriche family stare in shock at him. The only one not shocked was Shin who laughed again.
"Wow." He muttered with a snort, shaking his head. "That's fucking crazy."
Dion looked down at Shin for a moment before merely shaking his head and walking out of room silently. He looked almost heartbroken as Shin continued to grin and watch.
"Dion.. my brother Dion, sick crazy bastard Dion, is in love?" Jeremy muttered, more to himself, his eyes wide as he watched his brother leave the room.
Shin snorted one more time before turning to Jeremy. "Crazy bastard? Is that his nickname?" He questioned in amusement, though the other didn't answer.
Shin gave a huff before crossing his arms again and leaning back in his chair.
"Shir- Shin.. how old are you right now?" Lant questioned, turning towards Shin with a raised brow.
"I'm 15. Though, apparently 18." Shin answered casually with a small shrug. "Can't believe I'm working as a butler." He mutters to himself with a small hum, tilting his head.
"You've worked for us for a few months now, Shin." Roxanne informed him with a smile and nod.
"I see." Shin nodded along with her, putting a hand to his chin. "And in those few months, I already got found out." He says, slightly annoyed.
"Did I get dumber?" Shin questions, scoffing to himself and waving his hand.
Jeremy then looked over at Shin. "So.. you're an assassin? And at.. 15?" He asked, his tone quiet, as if he couldn't believe it.
"Yeah?" Shin said with a raised brow, glancing at Jeremy. "Have been since I was a child."
"You're a child now, are you not?" Shin asked as he glanced over at Shin, who frowned at the words.
"I haven't been a child in a long time." Shin said and flipped the older man off. "Can I child kill a grown man? Can a child withstand most poisons? I didn't fucking think so." He scoffed.
No one responded to his sudden aggression, but Lant did tilt his head. "I suppose you're right." He said with a small nod, putting a hand on his chin.
"Now that we got that out of the way, anyone wanna tell me why I fucked that crazy bastard, or whatever his name is?" Shin asked bluntly, making Lant immediately choke on his tea.
