10 Guardian Families of the Empire (III)

"How about Alik and Liam? Have you told them?" Sanyi asked.

"Those two knew about this a long time ago as part of their family's job," Aleksio answered.

"So what message does Lexine mean that you send them Skylur?" Olek looked at Skylur seriously and waited for his answer.

"Well-," As soon as Skylur replied to them, we saw Garrin ushered two kids inside.

"The Heirs of the Amintah and Sashura Family have arrived."

"Hi, guys, what's up!" The boy greeted cheerfully while the girl beside him smack his head,

"Manners Liam! I am sorry for everyone for my brother's behavior." The girl pulled his brother's ear and greeted us.

"Now, now! Welcome Alik and Liam, everybody was just discussing the message that Skylur did not send to me, Olek, and Anael."

Lexus explained and it seems the other two turned from being cheerful to being serious.

"Let me explain about that," Liam said and started explaining.

"The reason why you did not receive the message is that we told Skylur it is not safe. We received a piece of information that your houses seemed to have been infiltrated by a spy."

"Spy? There is a spy inside our houses?" Anael asked with a surprised expression.

"Are you sure about this Liam?" Olek questioned.

"Yes. We have confirmed it and that's the reason why are we late." Alik answered.

The atmosphere suddenly turned heavy. I read the last information from Zero's report. Alik and Liam are heirs of the Amintah and Sashura families.

These two families are also known as the shadow behind the imperial family. Both of the families have a Marquis title. The Amintah family are the descendants of Ismat Amintah, The Information Curator.

He was one of the first emperor's closest aides. He built the empire's Information Guild and was able to make it the top guild when it comes to finding different information.

A lot can be assumed when you first see Alik Amintah, but when you finally understand her personality you can see that she is very intelligent and keen on details.

She is also a brilliant strategist which is why she will be a very difficult opponent if you ever cross her line.

She will use her enemy's weakness to her advantage. But on the outside, other people sometimes overlook her personality based on her looks.

While Liam is the heir of the Sashura Family, which is known to be the descendants of the famous assassin that served the first emperor.

Stu Sashura, The Death Cerberus, became a famous name when he successfully assassinated Tragrir, who is the right hand of the Ancient Demon Branath.

Stu entered an unbreakable bond ceremony with the first emperor to show his loyalty and to let his future descendants know his deep-rooted respect for the imperial family. To this day, the Shura family follows the emperor's orders.

Liam, as the Sashura family's descendant, is known for having a playful but deadly personality. His skills as an assassin were discovered when he was 5 years old. Now it is known that he already started accepting missions given to him by the emperor.

By the way, Alik and Liam are cousins since the current head of the Amintah family married the younger twin sister of the Sashura family. That's why they are always together, because Alik is the one that provides the information to Liam.

As the imperial family's shadow. Their family started to train them at a young age so that they can grasp their duties.

The two of them also started to follow the crown prince Aleksio as he is the heir to the emperor.

"Okay, now that everyone has gathered, I would like to start discussing some very important things." Aleksio started speaking.

"Aleksio, can little sister Evangeline listen to us? She may hear some unpleasant things." Anael interrupted.

"No, because she will be also a part of our discussion. Plus, this is also to inform you what Skylur was supposed to tell you through his message."

"Understood."

When I look around and observe each in every one of them, I can hardly believe that we are just kids that still did not have a come of age.

"Ok, little Evie introduced yourself," Aleksio said.

Everybody's head turned around at the same time and looked at me.

"Hello! I am Evangeline Antoinette Kraevia Evernight, the youngest child of the Duke and Duchess of Evernight."

"Holy cow, Skylur is your little sister have Cuvean's blessing?" Anael asked Skylur with a shocked expression.

"Oh my god! Little sister Evangeline is so cute!"

"Yes, yes! You are correct Alessia and her voice sounds calming." Lexine praised.

"Is this what are you going to tell us Skylur?" Lexus fondly smiled while asking Skylur.

"No, it is about what happened to Bathor's yesterday."

"I thought so. The message you send contained about what happened and not about your sister's blessing and also base on the girls' reaction." Sanyi said while nodding his head.
