The Young Master in the Shadows

Chapter 17: Lili’s thoughts

Lily does not remember much about her early childhood, she was sold to the Von Weise family at a young age.

They took her with other children and began their training right away. They sent them to a huge camp on one of the archipelagos island, there were many children like her there. they were taught basic knowledge at first like reading and writing, with some martial arts, then when they seemed to have learned those, they would be castled to one of the families numerous halls.

Lily had a petite body, and a high aptitude in martial arts, so she was sent to the Assassins hall, where her suffering began.

All the children in the assassins’ hall had to suffer through very harsh training, where they even had them kill people and fight criminals, causing many of them to die early.

Whenever one of the young family heirs comes to the hall on missions or for training, she would look at their princely look and yearn like every little girl, that someday one of them would take her away on a white horse. but she knew in her heart that these are mere dreams.

She still persisted, hoping that one day she would finish this training and be able to roam the world.

The worst day in her life came when the hall master’s son Guy decided to create a special assassination unit under his command, so she and a few of her sisters were chosen because of their nice looks. Especially her.

She could see the perverted look in Guy’s eyes, so she made sure after that to always smear some dirt on her face so that she would not attract his attention.

Guy was a monster, he enjoyed torturing them in various methods, under the excuse of training them, they still persisted hoping that one day this will be over. Until that day when Guy made Lily and her sisters watch as he brutally tortured one of them to death, saying that he is training their mentality. That girl was her best friend.

He seems to have regretted killing that girl, but for the wrong reason, as he wished to sleep with her first. so he asked for permission from his father to sleep with the girls before their final test as they will become agents of the family when they pass, The family will not blame him if a few trainees died, on the other hand killing an agent of the family is not a small offense.

But his father refused, telling him that he can do what he wants after the Ceremony, as for the girls, he will delay their test.

Hearing Guy brag in front of them about how he will fix every one of them, she made a decision, she is going to sacrifice herself for her sisters as she was the best assassin amongst them, she is going to enter the ceremony and take Guys life there where she might get a chance.

So she volunteered to be one of the servants in the ceremony, but Dick refused, as he knew his son had his eyes on this girl.

Left with no other choice, she took advantage of the situation on ceremony day and secretly boarded the ferry headed to the central island. she was prepared to die, and she will take Guy’s life with hers.

But she underestimated the family’s preparation, as after reaching the Ceremony hall she was caught by the guards and she had to fight with them and although she was able to defeat many of them, more kept coming, but she was finally subdued by a strike from an elder who showed up out of nowhere.

She knew she was going to die. but she did not want to, not before killing that monster, and just when she was planning to make her last struggle, someone grabbed and pulled her head and then she heard his arrogant voice “I like this girl.” He said.

Looking at the boy’s charming face and grayish-purple hair she felt her heart beating faster,

“is this my prince charming” she thought, but then she shook her head, she should not hold much hope, she told herself.

But to her surprise, this young master, who she did not know was able to get her out of trouble with ease. and he even called her his own.

After entering the hall, the young master made her sit on his lap, this made her feel very ashamed, but she had to persist, it will all end when she kills Guy.

He asked her about her reasons, she felt ashamed as she had to tell him a lie, but she couldn’t tell anyone about her objective, but somehow she was able to divert his attention to Guy who was there staring at her with murderous eyes, maybe he can help her, she thought, she has become ‘his’ anyway.

But the young master’s reaction exceeded her wildest expectations. He did not get angry at her but gave her a weird method to kill Guy, “That can’t be true, can it?” she thought.

After entering starting the ceremony, he helped her sit in a place where she would be able to target Guy, so she decided to follow his crazy plan, if it failed she will try after the chaos starts. She has heard that many people will die, so she can use the chaos to act at that time, but still, she held a some hope in the corner of her heart. Maybe her young master’s plan would work.

The ceremony started and it was like something of a fantasy tale. She kept her eyes open despite the pain and stared at the guy for one minute just as he told her to, and she could feel a wave of light going between her and Guy. Then after one minute, the pain was so unbearable that she was forced to close her eyes, and her ritual began.

She succeeded, but that did not matter at that time, only one thought was kept in her mind, To Kill Guy.

When she opened her eyes, she quickly started looking for Guy who was there, dead on the floor, with blood rushing out of his seven orifices.

“It worked!”

Her young master told her the truth. he did really help her, she looked at him and he looked at her and smiled. she fell in love at that moment and she knew it.

After that, he stood against his family’s interests and helped her again and again. It was all like a dream for her.

She was ready to repay him with her body tonight. When he saw her he was so astonished by her true beauty that his nose bled. She saw it, but she acted as if she did not see a thing. And then he forgave her for lying to him, and in the end, did not agree to sleep with her so that she can become stronger later.

she does not know if he loves her, but she knows that he cares about her.

Looking at the morning sun out of the window while feeling her young master’s faint breath on her lap.

She looked down at him who was drooling while using her thighs as a pillow, and smiled. She had decided, from this moment onward, she is his property, and no matter how he feels about her, she would spend every moment in her life in his service.
