The same night a teenage girl that wore a black cloak entered the brothel doors and addressed the first person that she saw. "Hello, pass this on to the manager and arrange a meeting. She will know who I am."
She handed over a note and waited in the waiting room until an elderly woman appeared.
She looked like she was beautiful in her youth but her old age and her environment had been hard on her.
The old lady frowned as she looked at Rayleigh and asked in a cold voice. "What are you doing back here? Don't you know that your father is here? I promised your mother that I would look out for you, this is the last place where you should be."
Like most women in the brothel, once a women loses her youth and beauty they will no longer have any worth left so they have very few options.
One would be to marry someone wealthy and settle down, two would be to accept being thrown out or the third option would be to become a manager or worker within the brothel and use their experiences to keep the new girls in line and teach them properly.
The old woman was once her mothers teacher and had promised to look out for Rayleigh after her death but she did not have the strength to fight against the Wraith family who were practically her owner.
Rayleigh coldly smiled and replied. "Do not worry. I have a plan that can end this once and for all so that I no longer have any connections to the Wraith family but first I need your and the girls help."
The old woman weighed her options but her promise still weighed heavily on her heart so she could only agree. "I will help but I will not risk you life for this plan to succeed. Promise me that you will flee at the first sign of failure."
Rayleigh nodded calmly. "Do not worry. Just find a way to slip this into a drink of his and pass this note to him. Make sure that he finishes the drink before you pass the note. That is all you need to do then I will arrange everything else."
The old woman held the small glass vial in her hand and stuffed the letter in her pocket. "Do not worry, I will not fail you."
Rayleigh nodded as she left the room and continued out of the brother disappearing into the night.
Just as she was leaving, the old woman stretched out her hand to stop her but pulled it back in the last moment as she whispered softly. "Little Myra.. have you been well? Has it been hard for you all these years? I will have to do this myself even if it risks the remaining years of my life to do so."
Suddenly her sorrowful eyes turned determined as she wiped away the tears and headed out of the room.
She knew that the Wraith family head was a monster and a horrible father but she had no power to protect Myra or Rayleigh and her mother but also the other young women that he had taken in or the other children that he had sired.
Now that the young girl had returned and wished to avenge herself, even if she becomes a pawn in this father and daughter fight she does not mind sacrificing herself so that the girl can live a happy and free life.
Perhaps in her previous life Myra was still tied to her family that wished to get revenge on or exploit her so she looked for a safe place to seek shelter but she found herself becoming a pawn of the Emperor that could not escape his grasp.
Even with her vast strength she was always alone and if she lost her support and was revealed to the world, the Unorthadox alliance and her family would hunt her relentlessly.
She also had to leave behind many old friends and acquaintances just to keep them safe but also protect herself so she never knew that there were people out there that wished to help her like now.
When she was standing tall in the previous life she would never of asked for help from someone below her or so weak but perhaps her way of thinking had changed after meeting Ki.
As she left, under her cloak she had a small smile on her face but nobody noticed it.
It was the first genuine smile that had appeared on her face since she was a child.
No amounts of strength, riches or influence could possibly make her feel as she had in that moment.
Within a private room, the Wraith family head was sleeping after indulging in women and alcohol.
Suddenly the door was opened and the old woman came in with a lit candle lighting up the room. "Family head, there is a matter that requires your presence right away."
She looked outside of the door towards a young lady holding a bowl of some kind of medicinal soup and took it from her hands then placed it in front of the family head who was still half asleep and intoxicated. "This is your usual medicinal sobering soup I hope you enjoy. Afterwards I will inform you of why I have woke you up."
The family head frowned with his eyes half open and retorted. "So rude and without proper manners.
A small sign of anger appeared briefly on the old woman's face but like usual she put on her business smile and replied. "Master, this seems to be urgent and important so you may need to be in your best condition."
The family head snorted as he raised the bowl to his mouth and drank it slowly then afterwards placed it down as he licked his lips.
He looked towards the old woman as if looking at an ant then spoke coldly. "Hurry up. This better be important or you will suffer for this."
The old woman took out a piece crumpled up paper and passed it over to him right away.
The family head looked at it and then looked up at her while smiling cruelly while his eyes became like a predator seeking its prey. "You have done well. If this is true then I will reward you."
The old woman put on a grateful face and bowed quickly. "Thank you master."
The family head quickly ran out the room so fast that the old woman did not have enough time to respond but as he passed her he knocked her to the ground and alone within the room.
She looked at the crumpled note on the desk and got back up ignoring the pain then read it. [Father I have returned. Please take me back into the family and I promise to hand over what I got from the Divine Ice Sect. If you agree then meet me in the back alley behind the brothel as soon as possible. From your daughter, Myra Wraith.]
The old woman saw that the girls name was used so to avoid anything leading back to Myra, she burned the note by placing it near the lit candle.
She sat within the room silently awaiting the final outcome, although she knew that Myra was risking her life by meeting the family head there must be some sort of plan in place and she had already completed her part.
Now she could no longer be of help for the rest of Myra's plan so she could only sit and wait for the outcome whether it be the family heads demise or his wrath that would soon come down upon her.
