During the night a figure walked through the mansion and greeted a guard by patting them on the shoulder as they performed their duties to guard the mansion.
The guard noticed the man and smiled. "Is it your turn now?"
The man smiled upon hearing the other guards question and spoke. "Yes, it's time to switch over. You can go rest now and I will take over."
The guard yawned upon being told he could get some rest and stretched his body a little. "Alright, wake me up when it's my shift again."
The man rolled his eyes and answered. "Sure. Sure. Go sleep."
After the guard left the man began his rounds of checking around the mansion for intruders.
After checking that there were no movements the man smirked and went to a room which had 4 other men who he worked with. "It's completely clear. We can begin now so be quiet and do not cause any problems, I will go with one of you to the sons room while the rest of you go to the daughters room. Be as quiet as possible and place this cloth over their mouths so that they do not wake up."
These men were employed by the Bombyx family for different tasks including as a guard, they had been approached by the village head and the blood sect members and had been coerced into taking part in a scheme to weaken the Bombyx family.
They had been given a cloth which had been soaked in herbs which help to put people to sleep when breathed in.
Their heirs were the weakest part of the family so once they went missing they would begin to panic and make mistakes.
During the chaos the village head, the blood sect members and the people inside the mansion who had betrayed the family could attack the already weakened family.
The man walked down the dark halls followed by his men quietly, their footsteps were light and they dressed in darker clothing which covered their faces which helped to blend into the darkness of the mansion.
The man and the the man following behind finally reached a door, the man slowly opened the door and stepped inside while surveying inside the room.
He then turned to the other and nodded, they began to enter the room together and looked towards the bed where a young boy lay in a deep sleep.
The man smiled upon seeing the young boy and made his way towards the bed with a cloth in his hands ready to place it over the boys face.
The man behind took out a large sack and opened it up to place the boy inside when suddenly a shadow flickered across the walls in the room.
A large figure pounced out from the other side of the bed, it jumped across the bed onto the man who was ready to place the cloth on the boys face.
As the large figure moved the boys eyes jolted open with visible fear in his eyes, he quickly rolled out of the bed to escape his captor.
The large figure landed upon the man and bit into his throat as the boy trembled in fright.
The boy remembered his sisters words and began to place his hands under his bed and grabbed a small sword from a box underneath the bed.
He placed the sword before him in a defensive stance while watching the other man inside his room.
The other man had not yet reacted to the leader of them suddenly being attacked by an unknown figure.
Within another room the door began to open in the same manner, a large hand appeared on the door as it was pushed open.
The other three entered the room and one of them carried a sack and another held a cloth in hand.
They did not have much time to react before they looked over to the bed which was already empty.
A small figure rolled off the bed and crouched down behind the door.
Once the men entered her room, Ki stabbed a dagger into his side and before anyone could react she threw another dagger towards the man at the back who held the bag.
Once the dagger was removed from the man's flesh it then entered the next man's body as her small body agilely moved in the darkness and the cover of the larger figures of the men.
The first man collapsed while clutching his side to stop the bleeding. "Guh.."
"Ah.." The man at the back fell out of the room into the hall with a dagger in his chest, his face began to display visible fear as he tried to get up from the ground after being knocked down but lacked the strength
"You.." The man in the middle was slashed in the leg so his body dropped down to the floor, his knees were touching the floor and then a dagger entered his throat.
The remaining living person was the first man who entered the room but soon Ki turned around to look at him clutching the wound on his waist.
She removed the dagger from the other man's chest outside of the room and walked back inside.
Ki raised her daggers and stabbed both of them into each side of his neck from behind.
All of the bodies were bleeding out so Ki quickly activated her mystical arts before leaving her room to run towards her brothers room with a murderous look in her eyes.
The man was filled with rage upon seeing his companion being mauled to death by a figure that looked like a wolf.
By the bed a white wolf savagely ripped the leaders throat apart with its teeth and it's eyes glowed with murderous intent and looked over towards the man by the door with hostility.
The man saw that the boy had picked up a sword and wished to defend himself and also saw the figure of the wolf in the darkness and had to make a decision in order to live.
He chose to run towards the boy and try to take the sword from him but the Leon quickly defended himself by slicing at the man's outstretched hand.
"Gah!" A bone deep cut appeared on the man's wrist and he stepped back to hold his wound to stop the blood but suddenly a large figure pounced onto his body pushing him to the ground. "Ah..ahhhhh.ahhhh.ah…"
Leon stood looking at the blood and gore at the scene while sensing the feelings of the white wolf which was savagely killing the man.
Ki appeared at the door and walked over to Leon and hugged him while covering his frightened face.
She lightly lifted his body up and protected him as she left the room.
Soon everyone in the mansion was woke up and everyone was alarmed about what had just happened to the children of the Bombyx family.
Many people were filled with betrayed and rage towards those men.
The next morning their heads were displayed outside of the mansion on wooden pikes as a warning to others.
