After I agreed to become the representative of our company to perform on the stage performance at the party, we left the music studio and head towards the living room. Though it seems like they pushed their responsibility to me.
"Then, it is decided! Theo will participate in the performance. The last thing we have to worry apart is the ballroom dance. Both Gaius and I already know how to dance on these occasions. As far as I know, this is the first time you will participate in the [National Party], Theo and Rafaela. This only happens every 5 years and we already participated in it once. Only people who are 12 years old and above can participate. You guys are 11 and 9 years old at that time, am I correct?" Big sister Lily said as we walked inside the room where I never entered.
The Ballroom Hall.
We looked from left to right and I didn't notice at first but there is a man on the very corner of the room as if he was waiting for us the whole time. 'I didn't notice him...' I thought as I stared at my sister.
"That guy with blonde hair and blue eyes is the dance instructor that will teach you alongside Gaius" Big sister introduces as my brother become dumbfounded.
"Wait, why am I included in teaching them?!" He yells as my big sister replies, "Well, that man will teach Theo while you will teach Rafaela. You are a dance genius, right?"
"I'm not!" Big brother Gaius denies.
"Well, Gaius, teach your sister how to properly, dance. You guys are all geniuses in different areas and it is just a coincidence that you also have the talent for dancing, Gaius" my father said as he left the room alongside mother and big sister.
The door closes and everyone in the room went silent. 'Then, I can't play Olympus today, If my sister hired an instructor, it will definitely go well but we will reach night or worse, midnight... The party will be held at 7 AM and to arrive there, you have to drive 5 hours...' I thought as I remember the instructor that taught me aura who thought me from 7 in the morning until 3 in the morning the next day...
"Young master, Gaius, Young master Theo, and Young mistress Rafaela. Let's start to learn" The man said. "The mistress Lily forget to introduce my name to you, I am Falcon" he continues.
"Well, what kind of dances we should learn today?" I asked as my brother immediately closed my mouth.
"Every dance that we know from basic to the hardest based on your sex" he replied as I regret that I asked him.
And since that time, we started practicing insanely.
At first, I had a hard time performing the stances of every move but later on, I realized that it is similar to fighting.
From proper slow dance to the hardest form of ballroom dance such as foxtrot or quickstep.
After we learned every basic of every dance, we will start performing with a sound later. We are currently taking a break.
I sat down beside Falcon as I drank the water that my mother distributed to us earlier.
I stared at him for a moment and I know that he already noticed it. "What is it, young master Theo," He asked as he smiles.
I decided not to beat around the bush and immediately said with a low voice, "May I ask just what are you? Ever since earlier, I haven't felt any presence from you as if..." I stared at him intensely as he chuckled.
"You have great instincts like your big sister told you, huh?" He said impolitely. He continued replying, "I am what you think it is. I am impressed that you found out. Even your sister didn't notice it!"
He is a real assassin.
The people who are cruelly killing anybody for money, in short, mercenaries. They always have the ability to hide at any time of the day and even remove or disguise their presence.
'It seems like he disguises his presence to fool us but not me' I have this kind of feeling where I can feel and see their REAL presence. I can even see through illusions. Though, my family didn't know about this ability of mine that I called, [True Eyes]
'I am aware that he might be an enemy. I must prepare myself in that case' I said to myself as I stared at his smiling face that gives me creeps.
"Don't worry, I am already done with this job. Plus, they exiled me on the organization, after all," He said as he looked at the ceiling as if he is reminiscing his past.
"Is that so?" I replied as I am not convinced and I am still alert to his presence here at this household.
"Well, I am actually here to find a suitable candidate to become my successor as an assassin," He said as he continued, "I became a dance instructor because several famous people such as your parents and sister are finding a dance instructor for the event that will take place tomorrow."
"So? You found one?" I asked as I lowered my guard and he brightly smiled, "I just found one now" he said as he stared at me intensely.
'Don't tell me.'
"Your face is telling me that you found out, you are intelligent!" He said as he pats my head. At first, I want his hands to get out of my head but he has the same feeling that I got from my big sister when patting me.
I am not a cat to get comfortable at this but it really feels nice.
"Then? Do you want to train under me as an assassin? Of course, it is hidden from your family!" He whispers at my ears and I said to myself, 'I don't want to but I have to feel that I have to experience killing a person for a certain thing but I don't remember.'
I started to remember some things which made my head hurts. I can see clouds everywhere and a silhouette of a man. Even though it is just a silhouette, I am sure that he has red eyes and there is a scar on his cheek. He is saying something but I can't remember hearing a thing.
I hid this pain but it seems like Falcon noticed the changes in my mind through mental fluctuations.
"Are you okay?" He asked as I replied with a nod and replies, "I actually want to because of some circumstances but my sister has good insight, she might found out!"
"Don't worry, she only has the ability to sense something was off and she will deduct what might happen or what might is the answer. It is not insight but knowledge! She is very intelligent" He said as he continued, "Then, it is decided! You will become my successor and~" He immediately noticed Rafaela who is walking towards us.
"Umm, sir Falcon, we're done eating!" Rafaela abruptly said.
"Let's talk later at midnight, I will always be with you from now on, For now, let's continue practicing," He said as I saw something in his eyes flashed.
We resumed our dance lessons until 10:00.
Falcon left immediately after finishing our lesson while we are currently walking down the hallway. "Is there something wrong, Rafaela?" Gaius asked Rafaela who is behind us. "Brother Theo, what did you talk about?" She said as I keep my straight face.
'So she is suspicious of us! She seems to heard something!'
"I have him enlighten me on dancing. That's all. Why?" I replied as I smile.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'What is wrong with these two?' Gaius asked as he also found Theo weird since earlier.
'He is still charming but at the same time, his presence is different. He might be hiding something' Gaius continued staring at Theo and said, "Are you sick, brother?" He asked as he touched his forehead.
"No, I just remembered something from earlier, don't worry about that!" Theo said.
Theo continued walking silently and Gaius asked Rafaela, "What do you know?"
"Well, you are far away from brother Theo and instructor Falcon but when I walked towards them, they are talking in a low voice as if they have a secret. When I continued walking towards them, I heard the word "successor" and then instructor Falcon noticed me. They also didn't talk the whole practice. I found it suspicious, that's all" Rafaela stated.
'Successor? What is that about? Is it from the game?' He thought as he continued walking towards his room on the second floor next to Theo.
"Yo!" Gaius said as he opened the door of Theo's room. Theo is there but silent.
"Is there something bugging you? And also what about that successor thing?" Gaius said as he said straightforwardly. Gaius is a very straightforward and honest person, you can even trick him because he always trusts everyone.
"Successor?" Theo replied speechlessly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'She really heard it but luckily, it seems like she only heard the word successor' I thought as I stared at my brother.
"Well, about the successor thing, I found out that his class in the Olympus is the successor of a king but he doesn't know what to do and asked me for some tips because I said that I am already level 21 while he is still 14" I lied and continued, "About the first question... Did I met a man with red eyes and a scar on the cheek from the past?"
"No, you've never met one. If you met one, we will recognize it immediately because it is very rare to have red eyes, after all," He replied and I said subconsciously, "I see"
'Then, who is that person?'
"Well then, I will leave. You have to rest for now. We will start to prepare ourselves past midnight" He said as he stood up, walking towards the door.
"Good Night" I replied and he replied, "Good Night too"
