It was a snowy night. The moon was really beautiful. I was looking at the moon. I was lying on the snow. Blood was coming through my body. It was a bloody snowy night. It was really cold. But I could not move a little inch of my body. It's as if I was going to die. I felt really relieved that time. If I die, I would be able to get out of this hellish life. Yeah, that's what I thought. I was having a hard time keeping my conscience. Everything was becoming dark. The moon was becoming red. I was wondering if I would be able to meet an angel if I died.
At that moment, I saw something. I don't know what it was. But I think it was a beautiful lady. I don't really remember how she looked. But I can say that she was the most beautiful lady I have seen. She was flying. Seeing me lying, she came toward me. She looked at me and muttered with a beautiful voice,
"I have never thought that I would see such a beautiful child here. How can a child like you possess such an amount of chaos? You have already able to become fateless. It would be waste just to let you die here. It's not really that much of a late. I can still modify you. But what about your chaos? I don't think anyone can modify it. Umm... There is a way to calm your chaos. But you're still too weak for that. Besides, I didn't really know you would be able to reach the Upper World."
She became silent for a moment and again started muttering,
"I like gambling, so this time I will bet on you. My purity."
Saying that, her face came before my face. My vision became completely dark. At that moment, something soft touched my lips. It was a wonderful feeling. The last thing I remember her saying,
"I will be waiting for you in the Upper World, my cute darling."
I lost my conscience. Then when I woke up, I was already in my bed.
I have always thought that it was a dream. A dream where I met an angel and an angel who was pretty and beautiful. Maybe she was the angel of death. Or she could be a Goddess. I don't know who she was. But she was the one who stole my first kiss in the dream or it could be in reality too.

"Simon-san pushed you down from the cliffs. He came up with a story that he and you had gone on a long drive and while you were playing you accidently fell from the cliff. After hearing that your mother felt like she was about to lose something important. That was the first time your mother understood how important you were to her. She went to the spot like a mad man and tried to search for him. When she found you she noticed that there was a lot of blood and you were unconscious. She felt like her heart had skipped a beat. She became somewhat like a mad man at that time. But after confirming that you were okay, she started feeling relief. Well, seeing you're completely okay, Simon-san was surprised. He realized what he had done was a bad thing. So, after that, he never did that kind of thing again. But he did beat you over simple things though," Rei-nee explained.
After explaining that, she sighed and leaned back on the seat.
"By the way, how did you know that much? Isn't it too specific?"
I asked. Because I felt it was strange. She said it like she was present at that time.
"I heard most of it from your mother and guessed other simple things," Rei-nee replied.
I don't know if she lied to me or not. But it looks like she is saying the truth. Oh, what happened to my real father? I mean, she didn't tell me about that.
"By the way, what happened to my father after that?"I asked.
"Oh, I skipped that part. Let's see, it started after my father, I mean C got disinherited. He felt like he was in danger. He got jealous more and more. And thought of taking revenge. He used his wife and other methods to get close to some high-ranking nobles. He forced my mother to work as a prostitute and he took that advantage to get close to some nobles. Mother couldn't endure herself after a few times and she hanged herself. Then he thought about using me as a prostitute. You were two years old at that time and I was 14. He was the first person who tried to rape me. But aunt Valerie saved me. She was a friend of my mother," Rei-nee said.
While saying that, Rei-nee shivered a little but she smiled while saying Valerie-san's name. Which proves that she really trusts Velerie-san more than anything. Wait, Valerie, is she the famous one?
"When you said aunt Valerie, did you mean that S-ranked one?" I asked.
"Yeah, that one. She even threatened dad not to let his filthy hand on me. She was really cute." Rei-nee blushed.
Eh!? She blushed? Why?
"Do you have a crush on her?" I asked.
"Oh look, somebody jealous." Rei-nee replied with a seductive voice.
"Like hell, I would. I was just asking because you blushed just now." I shouted.
"Haha, I am not into girls. But let see, she might have been my first love. Well, it can't be helped. She was really cool. After that incident, I started living with her. One year after that incident, our grandfather passed away. He was poisoned. At that time, my uncle was on a foreign trip with his children. His wife, I mean Yumiko-san, was in her father's house. We got news that uncle Saad died with his son and daughter in a traffic accident. Four of my family members died in a single day. Even a cow can understand what's going on. My father became the family head. I understood that I can't let this keep going. Aunt Valerie took Yumiko-san under her care too. Otherwise, dad would have killed her too. I slowly started to take control of our companies. Dad was bad at managing. So, he has to rely on me. I took that chance to become more and more powerful. By the time, I realized I was the one who was controlling everything. Dad was having fun raping and turning them into a prostitute. While ensuring my position, I started killing every person who helped my father with his wrong doings. He was so busy doing bad things that he stopped caring for those who were his underlings. Then you know what happened yesterday, right?" she chuckled.
"I understand. Wait, you were living with Valerie-san, right? So, are we going there?" I asked.
"Nope. We are going to Silverstorm's main house. I am the head after all. I have to live in that place," Rei-nee replied.
"That's true. But you used to living with Valerie-san, right? Isn't it hard to live without her?" I asked.
"Nope. Because she will be living with us. It's just me, you, Yumiko-san, your mother and sister, aunt Valerie, Luna and, lastly, my darling Keren. Well, we have some servants too. I will introduce them to you." Rei-nee informed me.
"There are some names that I haven't heard a single thing about," I asked.
"Luna is somewhat like my personal maid and Keren is my darling," she said.
"But it didn't explain everything."
"Keren is famous, you know," Rei-nee said with a smug face.
"Don't tell me, he is Keren the silent devil." I was astonished.
Keren is a famous adventurer. He is really handsome. He is S rank too. He is really famous with ladies. I do know that he is the son of Valerie. So, it's normal for him to be with us too. I will be able to learn a lot from him, I guess.
Wait a minute, she said that Keren was her darling, right? Wait, does that mean Keren-san will be my brother-in-law?
"Rei-nee, Keren-san is your husband?" I timidly asked.
"Hahaha. Nope. He is my darling." She replied.
Maybe he is her boyfriend. I guess, fair enough. Rei-nee seemed to be happy. She had been through a lot too. I just hope her happiness lasts forever. I may not know very well. But I started to feel like she is my family.
