"Hecate Assassin guild?" I asked with confusedly.
My body healed completely a week after I came into consciousness, there was no scarring left in my stomach, but sometimes there's a phantom pain. I was told to not do any extreme physical activity by the doctor, which is fine by me because I get to spend time with my brother
Currently my brother, Ace, and I are in my room discussing the perpetrator of my 5th birthday assassination. Apparently what we thought as a simple failed mission is actually more serious, the assassins were sent by a guild from a mission given by anonymous person.
"Its a special assassin guild, because the members are skilled in magic rather than physical combat, which is rare for assassins. They're one of the best assassin organization, it's not easy to post a mission there but if a mission to eliminate you exist, that means someone with power is targeting you." Surprisingly, Ace explained slowly for me to understand.
"Which mean from now on, you'll be targeted by them, little miss." Ace cheerfully told me despite the grim situation, I kinda want to punch him.
"Does that mean I will get more training?" I inquired, I just couldn't see Ace training me more seriously, in fact I could only imagine him playing around with my Ice magic and poking me to awaken my skill.
"More training will not make you stronger immediately hahaha. You could hire me as your personal slave if you want? You can do anything to me and I'll protect you." A vein popped in my forehead, I don't know why but this infuriating pervert just got a thousand time more annoying when I recovered. His comment kept pissing me off.
"Piss off Ace, so I will be getting a bodyguard, Nii?" I ignored that unbearable bugger and faced my brother. "Yes, I will be searching a trustworthy one for you." Brother nodded in agreement.
"The discussion is finished isn't it, Then please get out of my room, it is inappropriate for a man to be in an unmarried lady room." I stared pointedly at that idiotic knight, telling him to get out of my room.
"Eh? But you're no lady, you don't have the appendage of one?" Ace inspected my chest then scratched his head in confusion.
I attempted to kick his head, but he dodged it with a crouch. He laughed gleefully at my anger, that's until my brother threw his sword at his head, which he barely dodged. He raised his hand, forcing out a small chuckle.
"No need to get angry, we also have another thing I need to inform to missy over here." Ace smirked, Nii glared at him, avoiding my suspicious look. Nii definitely tried to hide something from me again.
"You see, Missy. That blade that stabbed you in the stomach is a pretty rare blade." Ace pulled out a familiar blade from his back, I suddenly felt the phantom pain in my stomach. That blade is without a doubt, the one that stabbed me. It glimmered mysteriously in Ace's steady hold, the edge slightly curved but still sharp enough to cut through human body.
"It has it owns magic core, very unusual, and even thought it does not have sentient it moved by itself to wound you. Meaning, it could actually evolve into a living being. But your brother here want to destroy this blade, a very wasteful move if I say. What do you think missy?" Ace explained his own problem for me to solve.
I understand Ace only want to use me to disagree with my brother, but he does have a point on the sword. Doesn't mean I will make it easy on him though.
"True it would be wasteful to throw it away, but what use could it be to us? Brother and you already have a sword, and I don't need one because I don't like to use sword as my primary weapon. Evolution also takes time, which mean this sword will be useless until then." I argued with him.
"Well there's also other way we can make use of this sword. If your brother agree, he can mold both this sword and his together." Ace gestured at my brother. "What will happen after the merging?" I queried.
"There's a bunch of possibility, but there'll be a high chance that both sword will become an advanced and stronger version, but there's also a possibilities that it wouldn't merge and this sword would just get destroyed."
Merging sounds like a good way to use the sword, there's no drawback form Nii and if it succeed my brother will actually have another strong weapon in his arsenal. I glanced at my brother in contemplation, he was sulking by himself glaring at the weapon with hatred.
I guess I will be the one who make the decision.
"Ok, sure. Where and when?" I simply accepted the offer, causing Ace to smile brightly and my brother to sulk even more. "You brother can do it now." Ace loosely hugged me, showing how much he enjoyed the frustration of my brother.
My brother sighed and stood, he took the blade from Ace's hand and hold it in his left hand, meanwhile his left hand grasped his katana in steady manner. The katana slowly dimmed under my lamp, as if beaming in pride. I do not understand how an object seemed to give an aura like a living being. My brother than said a few word and a subdues light came from both blade.
"Did you know that your brother katana is actually living thing?" Suddenly Ace whispered in my ears. I realized he was sitting close to me, groping my side. I whacked him on his head, and gestured him to continue telling me quietly without disturbing my brother who's now in the middle of merging both blade.
Ace chuckled and continued informing me, "that katana is actually the Reins Family ancient sword, it is one of its powerful treasure and the reason of their status as a noble aside from their magical power as well. The Katana do not have a name, for it have not recognize anyone as its master since it was first made. But it still gave a tremendous amount of power to the owner." Surprisingly Ace can be knowledgeable at times.
Then abruptly fog came out of nowhere and covered my brother, I was anxious but waited for a few minutes. There was no call from my brother, and as time passes I got more and more nervous waiting for him.
Suddenly the fog vanished, showing my brother build and another figure kneeling in front of him. It was a male with dark sea blue hair and sharp yellow eyes, he is in his mid 20s with incredible muscle. His expression gentle yet stern at the same time.
But that wasn't what made me cover my eyes.
"E-excuse me!!! YOU ARE NAKED IN MY ROOM!!!!"
