"Address?"
The masked man asked.
"Pickup."
Aleshia replied. There were 2 ways she could get her orders, she could either have it delivered to an address or pick it up directly. If she was to have it delivered to an address, it would have to be accepted by her, and waiting for the delivery to arrive is a pain. So picking it up is the most convenient option.
"Credit or Gold?"
"Credit."
Aleshia paid using credits. It was like a currency but only usable in the branches of the Blood Flower Assassin Organization.
The masked man silently nodded and Aleshia left the Lanika Branch of the Blood Flower Assassin Organization. She sighed in relief after leaving that place. The people inside are very cold and full of bloodlust. It was suffocating being around them. Especially that receptionist, she was sure that he could easily defeat her.
Two days quickly passed by and Aleshia was back inside her home at the slums. She was fixing Ella's clothes as they were about to go to the Horiel mansion. She at least had to make sure her little sister looks presentable.
Aleshia was wearing a new green dress that Lawrend had gifted her a few days ago. It was something custom-tailored for her. She was amazed at the beautiful design and she liked it very much. She didn't have to leave the mansion wearing a maid uniform anymore.
"Big Sister, where are we going?"
Ella asked Aleshia with a face filled with innocent curiosity. Aleshia had yet to explain to Ella that she was gonna live inside the Horiel mansion while she would go on a long journey.
"We're going to where I work."
Aleshia smiled and replied at Ella. To be honest, she was still very nervous about this. She prepared a lot of stuff just in case things went wrong.
"Big Sister, you haven't told me where you work yet."
Ella was downcast as she spoke. She was really curious about where her big sister is working but Aleshia never mentioned any details about her new work to her. She didn't mind as her big sister was already doing something similar in the past with her assassin missions, but it still made her sad.
"You'll see. It's inside a big~ mansion. The Young Master said that you can play there. There's even a soft bed for you to sleep at."
Aleshia explained to Ella with a big smile on her face. Her little sister is really such a gem. She was so curious and so innocent. She wondered what she would have become if she also had a big sister she could rely on.
'It must be nice.' Aleshia's thoughts wandered around aimlessly as she fixed her little sister's clothes.
Shortly after, Aleshia stood up and smiled in satisfaction.
"Beautiful Ella!"
"Hehehe, thank you, Big Sister."
Ella's face burst into cuteness as she fidgeted from her big sister's praise. If you look at her small and cute face right now, you would think that she was the cutest thing in the world.
Aleshia patted Ella on the head and held her hand. They left the slum district, passed through the busy merchant district, and arrived in the noble district.
The city guard from before was still stationed there and he smiled at Aleshia when he saw her enter. By this point, he was already used to her coming in and out of the gates of the noble district. He could be said to have developed a good relationship with her.
They soon arrived in front of the Horiel mansion and Ella's face was full of amazement. She opened her mouth wide as she looked at the largest mansion in the city of Lanika.
"Wooooooooooow! That's where you work, Big Sister?"
Stars were sparkling in Ella's eyes as she looked up at Aleshia.
"Mm!"
Aleshia nodded her head and Ella became even more excited.
"It's so big! I want to work here too!"
Ella became interested in working here after seeing the extreme size of the mansion. It would be about 2 hectares in size. A very big size of land for a mansion in this city.
"After you grow up."
Aleshia smiled at Ella's innocent thoughts. She couldn't just say that it was not possible because that would just make Ella sad.
"Yey! That's a promise, Big Sister."
Ella was overjoyed after hearing her big sister's confirmation.
"Come, let's go inside."
Aleshia beckoned Ella and they entered the mansion gates together. The guards recognized Aleshia and opened the gates for her without any problems. Ella kept looking around in curiosity. She saw a huge expanse of garden. It was even larger than their home in the slums.
All the way till they reached inside the mansion. Aleshia started to grip Ella's hand tighter and tighter. Her eyebrows were also creased in worry.
"Aleshia? Is that your little sister?"
Albert saw them enter and was surprised. He had already been filled up on what would happen by Lawrend.
"Yes, Mr. Albert."
Aleshia bowed slightly seeing Albert. He was her superior in this mansion. He was also the one who taught and guided her on most of the work here in the past few days that she had been here.
Ella looked at her big sister and saw her bowing her head so she also followed suit.
"Ahahaha, what a polite child."
Albert's eyes were full of smiles as he looked at Ella's clumsy bow. It was nice to have a polite kid instead of an unruly one.
"Hahaha, I'm proud of her. Right, where's the Young Master?"
Aleshia laughed embarrassedly and asked.
"The Young Master is resting inside the lounge."
Albert replied. The lounge was the same place where Lawrend first saw Aleshia wearing her maid uniform.
"Thank you. I'll go change and meet the Young Master."
Aleshia politely bid her farewell.
"Don't worry about it. The Young Master can wait."
Albert said as Aleshia left for the changing room.
After winding a lot of hallways, they finally entered the changing room. Aleshia entered it together with Ella while Ella looked around the room in curiosity.
