Mia was sleeping soundly on the soft bed when she suddenly felt something soft rubbing against her face. She opened her eyes in a daze and saw the snow-white belly of the hammerhead shark plushie.
"Oh, is it time to wake up?" Mia rubbed her eyes and gently hugged the hammerhead shark plushie. "Good morning, Sharkie," she said in a sweet voice.
She sat on the bed and stretched lazily. Then, she took off her only nightgown and stepped barefoot on the soft carpet. She opened the closet and looked at the dazzling array of clothes inside. Suddenly, a thought came to her, and she put the nightgown back on. After freshening up and tying her hair into two ponytails, she went to the dining room on the second floor.
Two girls were already waiting for her, and the maids had already laid out a nutritious breakfast on the table.
One of the girls noticed Mia coming down the stairs and quickly stood up. She had a pair of long, pointy ears, and waist-length, pale blue hair. Her body was slender and graceful, and her features were so exquisite that Mia was a little jealous of her. She was wearing a suit and a pleated skirt, and a pair of black knee-high socks. She looked dignified and beautiful, and it was obvious that she came from a wealthy family and had received a good education.
The girl walked to the staircase and stood there respectfully. She smiled at Mia. "Good morning, Second Sister."
"Good morning, Xiao Wei." Mia smiled back. Using the stairs to make up for her height difference, she rubbed her cheek against the girl's.
The girl's name was Bai Vye. She was the daughter of the Fairy and Baiyi. She had just turned 16 this year. She had inherited the Fairy Sylvia's beauty and her father's maturity and steadiness. She had received the strictest elite education, and even though she was only 16 years old, she was already the brightest of the Empire's princesses.
After Bai Vye and Mia rubbed their faces against each other, Bai Vye took a step back, revealing a black-haired girl who was slightly shorter than Mia. Her hair was neatly combed, and her body was not as pretty as Bai Vye's, but she was very malleable. Even though her facial features were not fully developed yet, it was clear that she had the potential to bring disaster to a nation. Compared to the dazzling Bai Vye, this girl had inherited her mother's unique, cold temperament, which made her look more reserved. It made people look forward to her beauty in the future.
"Good morning, Little Yuu!" Mia stepped forward and rubbed her head against Baiyi's fourth daughter.
"Good morning, Second Sister." Bai Yuu squinted her eyes, feeling her sister's soft skin. "Xiao Ying isn't here yet. Do you want me to call her?"
"Eh? Are you still sleeping? "Mia's expression was a little awkward." Sorry to trouble you, Xiaoyu. "
"Ah ~ right, did big sister come back last night?" Bai Yuu, who was about to go upstairs to wake up her youngest sister, suddenly stopped in her tracks and turned her head to ask.
"Nope. She texted me very late last night, saying that she's too busy with work and won't be coming back …" Mia waved her phone and said regretfully. She hadn't seen her eldest sister, Tisdale, in a while.
"Don't tell me she's in love?" Bai Vye asked quietly, a mischievous smile on her face.
"That's impossible! If that's the case, she'll definitely tell us. Besides, Dad's here —" Mia paused. She grabbed Bai Vyne's hand and pulled her over to the table. "Did Xiaowei receive any love letters from boys at school?" She asked. "Did Xiaowei receive any love letters from boys?"
"There were a lot at first, almost every day. It was pretty annoying. But then, someone revealed the situation at home, and there were no more letters. It's weird, too …" Bai Vye said. Suddenly, a series of squeals came from the second floor.
"Ouch! Ouch! Be gentle, Fourth Sister! "
"Boohoo! Don't tie your hair in a ponytail, okay? It's so troublesome … "
"Can I not wear a skirt, Fourth Sister? The boys in class always stare at my legs … "
A few moments later, Bai Yuu led a little girl downstairs. She was the youngest sister in the family, Bai Yin, who was only twelve years old. She was the daughter of Baiyi and the assassin, Hem Hem. Unlike Bai Vye, who was devastatingly beautiful, and Bai Yuu, who was on the verge of being devastatingly beautiful, Bai Yin, like Mia, was adorable. Her figure was also influenced by her mother, making her look petite and adorable. Like Mia, Bai Yin tied her hair into two ponytails, making her look like an exquisite doll.
"Woo ~ Sis ~" Bai Yin, who was still sleepy, walked to Mia's side and rubbed herself against her. Then, she hugged her sisters and sat down at the dining table beside Mia. However, she did not touch the breakfast that had been prepared meticulously. Instead, she pulled out her phone and started tapping on it with her little finger. "Sis! Sis! Sis! Sis!
"Little Yin, didn't I tell you not to play with your phone during meals? If Dad finds out, you're going to get scolded again, "Mia said kindly. She used a knife to carefully cut a fried egg into small pieces. She did not eat it herself, but instead, she placed it on Bai Yin's plate. Then, she used the knife to smear honey on the bread — it was Bai Yin's favorite flavor. "That's right," Mia said, trying to comfort Bai Yin.
"I know ~ I'm just scrolling through my friend circle and asking who did last night's homework …" Bai Yin reluctantly put away her phone and mumbled, but she accidentally spilled the beans.
"What? You didn't do your homework last night? "Mia asked anxiously.
"It's not that I didn't do it … I just didn't finish it …" Bai Yin said guiltily. She did not dare to raise her head as she munched on the fried egg that Mia had cut for her.
"But you slept late last night, didn't you? Have you been playing all this time? "Mia was even more anxious now. She put down the knife in her hand and asked with a serious face.
"It's okay. It's all very simple stuff. I've learned it a long time ago!" Bai Yin said nonchalantly. She reached for the bread that Mia had smeared with honey. She knew that it was Mia who had prepared it for her.
However, she could not reach it. Mia's face was livid as she moved the plate to the side.
"Little Yin, you didn't even pass your last exam. I had to beg your homeroom teacher not to tell Dad. Didn't you promise me that you'll study hard?" Mia said sternly.
"I'm studying hard. I just didn't do my homework once. Why are you so mean to me, Second Sister?"
"You didn't do your homework? You're studying hard? "
The two sisters began to quarrel. Bai Vye and Bai Yuu did not dare to interrupt. They could tell that their Second Sister, who had always doted on them, was really angry this time.
Bai Yin, on the other hand, felt wronged. Tears welled up in the corner of her eyes. She jumped up and said angrily, "I hate you, Second Sister! You're not even Dad's biological son, but you have to control me! "
Mia's heart felt like it had been hit by a sledgehammer. She froze on the spot, tears pouring out of her eyes and dripping onto the tablecloth in front of her.
Bai Yin also realized that she had said something wrong. She immediately covered her mouth, and her cute little nose twitched. Suddenly, she disappeared on the spot.
The little girl's academic performance was mediocre, and her talent in all aspects was mediocre. However, she had inherited her mother's talent in stealth. At the young age of twelve, she had already mastered a superb stealth technique. Compared to the Hitmen who had lived for thousands of years, she had already reached the point where Mia's magic and Psychic Energy could no longer detect her presence.
"Little Yin?!" The remaining two older sisters panicked and hurriedly rushed over. However, they pounced on empty air. The white shadow was no longer there.
"Huh? She's invisible again? "Bai Yuu said helplessly." What should we do now? Should we tell Dad? "
"No …" Mia sat where she was, wiping away her tears. "Dad's a busy man. Don't let him worry about such a small thing."
Of course, that was not the real reason. Mia just did not want Baiyi to know the truth. Otherwise, Bai Yin would be bedridden for days on end, and Mia could only listen to her sister's sobs and cry with her in silence.
"But little sister … What should we do?" Bai Vye asked worriedly.
"Let's search the house slowly. She's probably hiding in one of the cupboards," Baiyi said. Mia sniffled and finally stopped crying. She looked at the clock on the wall and said, "We have to hurry. You guys still have to go to class, and I have an important Mass today."
So the girls and the maids who were in charge of taking care of their daily life got busy, searching for the youngest sister all over the house.
Out of Baiyi's three biological daughters, Bai Vye was the most outstanding and the most dazzling; Bai Yuu, the youngest, was the most considerate and the least worrisome; and Bai Yin, the youngest, was the most mischievous and the most spoiled.
This had to do with the fact that she was young and cute, so everyone took good care of her. It also had to do with Lady Assassin Walker's education.
Baiyi was born at the end of the New World's reclamation and the establishment of the New Empire. It was the busiest period of Baiyi's life. The migration of people, the establishment of new systems, and the enactment of new laws … There were so many things that he did not even have time to care for his biological daughter. He rarely returned home, and Bai Yin was basically raised by Lady Assassin Walker alone.
But with Lady Assassin Walker's personality, she didn't have the awareness of being a mother at all, so it wasn't hard to imagine how difficult it was to raise a child. Furthermore, this daughter of hers was the crystallization of her love, so it was only natural for her to dote on her like a mother. Bai Yin had been pampered far more than her sisters since she was young.
When Baiyi was done with his work, he would treat his youngest daughter with the mindset of making up for what he had missed. Bai Yin, on the other hand, had always been the center of attention.
Mia, Bai Vye, and Bai Yuu had all been scolded and beaten when they were young. Bai Yin, on the other hand, had never been scolded or beaten before. She had only been beaten once, when she was six years old. She had snuck into Baiyi's laboratory behind her mother's back and played with the Void Crystals like they were toys. Her mother had fainted from anger.
