"My cute little baby~!" Jasmine's mother hugged her younger brother.
Jasmine thought to herself for a moment, thinking that a baby's cheeks must be very soft. She suddenly stopped herself in the middle of these thoughts by slamming her head on the table, reminding herself that she should get too used to the peace around herself
"Come to think of it, that will be happening soon right?" Jasmine's father stated.
"Yeah, it's so soon,"Jasmine's mother responded.
"Is something happening tomorrow?" Jasmine asked while holding her brother.
"Huh? Did you not tell them?" Jasmine's father was confused.
"Ah! I forgot! It's because my daughter made me worry so much!" Jasmine's mother told them.
Jasmine thought about her recent events, her mother must've been talking about the body breathing method the Jasmine had practiced recently. Jasmine's mother must've endured a lot considering her personality.
"I'm sorry..." Jasmine apologized.
"Your mother is alright knowing that nothing happened to her daughter," Jasmine's mother reassured her, "But if you keep pushing yourself like you did that day... your mother might break down in the middle of the hallways because she would be so upset..."
"I apologize, I won't do something like that again." Jasmine apologized again.
"So what's going on soon?" Jasmine asked.
"Hoho, we will be attending a ball soon!" Jasmine's mother cheered, "Both of you have not attended a ball before, but you've grown to an age where you should be going places! Your mother is so excited!"
After hearing this, Jasmine only had one thought on her mind, she was going to lose her precious freetime!!!
Skip to nighttime...
"Blair!" Jasmine called and Blair appeared on her shoulder, "Let's go pay those two guys a visit!"
"Bi Bi!
After a bit of flying and walking, Jasmine eventually arrived at a warehouse, this storage place was where she sensed the presence of her two subordinates.
"Master! You've arrived!" They both said in unison.
"That's right," Jasmine took her hood off to let her long emerald hair slide down, "Did you do what I asked you to do?"
"We're sorry, we have not found out anything about the Zenith Church as of yet. The church was established not too long ago..." Philip reported.
"Alright, I didn't expect much. But what about the other task?" Jasmine asked.
"He's here." Jance brought over a man with a gag on his face, his limbs were also tied together, tight enough so that he couldn't escape.
"Mmmph! MMPH!!" The man's cries were muffled by the gag.
The man stared at the girl in front of him, she had sparkling emerald hair, just like the Earl of Haiss. The man was taken aback by her appearance, wondering if the Welton family had already found out about them.
"He is one of the members of the organization," Philip informed, "He knew that we would be assassinated by Han ni. Which also means he's a member of the inner circle."
"But apparently nothing that he knows about." Jance added on.
"I'll interrogate him." Jasmine sighed, "Undo his gag."
"...Please spare my life! I really don't know anything! If you let me live I'll get you any information you need!" The man shouted.
"Child"
"!!!"
"I have no plans to kill you, I just need you to run an errand." Jasmine stared at him coldly.
"I'LL DO IT!! I'll do anything you ask me! If you ask me to find my boss I'll do it! So please spare my life!" The man continued to shout.
"You're too loud."
"There's only one thing I'll need you to do," Jasmine told him, "Go to the Earl right now and report what your organization has done." Jasmine ordered.
The man lifelessly stood up and began walking towards the door to go carry out Jasmine's command.
"..."
"Don't pity him. He won't be chased by the organization. The Earl will deal with him first anyway." Jasmine sighed, "Both of you should leave the city and hide as well." Jasmine ordered.
"Yes Master." The two men bowed.
"..."
"You're not going to ask me why?" Jasmine asked.
"Master's orders are absolute. We only follow them."
"Well, I suppose so." Jasmine sighed, "I'll be away for a few days, keep a low profile until I come back."
"Yes Master!"
With that, Jasmine put on her hood and proceeded to leave, then Philip decided to call Jasmine back for a moment.
"Master!" Philip called.
"Yes?"
"W-what have we become?"
Jasmine tilted her head, "What exactly about that are you curious about?"
"Our strengths have increased exponentially compared to when we were alive. Could it be that we've become high class undead?"
Jasmine couldn't help but laugh at this question, "Pfft-"
"Sorry, was that an idiotic question?"
"No, no! I laughed because it was funny! Normally people ask if they've really become an undead! You guys are good! Most people don't adapt to this quickly!" Jasmine smiled.
"Ah... thank you..."
"You guys are just regular undead, it's just that you guys somehow retained your looks even as an undead! Most people just start decaying!" Jasmine laughed.
"I... I see, just a normal undead..."
"But you never know~ Depending on what you guys do, you might become high class undead!"
"!!!"
"Anyway, I'll get going now, stay hidden." Jasmine left with a smile.
"Yes Master! Please return safely!"
"Ppi!"
"Don't call them pathetic. I think they're interesting. They behave just like your uncle... Anyway, I've spent too much time here, let's head back."
"Biyaa!"
Skip to the next day...
In the morning, there was a huge stir at the Welton residence. A member of Lival, a large crime organization rooted in Haiss, has accused his own organization. The Earl had to delay his departure due to this incident. Therefore, only Jasmine, her mother, and her brother headed off to Regen, where the ball was being held.
