Assassination System

An unknown amount of time passed and Grace's consciousness gradually awakened.

The first scene that she saw when she woke up while holding her aching head was Juliet sweetly smiling while calling out to her parents. Dan and Natalie arrived as fast as lightning and the worried expressions on their faces softened Grace's frosty countenance.

Taking a bowl of congee from a nearby tray, the young girl Juliet quarreled with her father about the rights on spoonfeeding Grace and it ended with Juliet's victory. Juliet stuck her tongue out and teased Dan while the two girls chuckled at their antics.

Juliet blew on a spoonful of congee before stretching her body out and lifting it before Grace's lips. The little girl's sweetness and cuteness dissipated all of Grace's exhaustion before she could even rejuvenate herself with meals.

"Here, Mama Grace, say aaahhh..."

Suffusing a sweet smile, Grace chomped down on the congee and Juliet lightly laughed before taking another spoonful and doing the same motions as she did before placing it before Grace's lips.

Natalie lifted her head momentarily stared at Dan before darting her gaze away, seemingly afraid that Dan may misunderstand something. Licking his lips, Dan tightly embraced her waist and pecked on her forehead.

Natalie acting so ambiguous like this meant that she wanted to be doted on. She also returned Dan's gesture with a peck, but Dan could see that she was clearly holding back her desires for the sake of looking after Grace.

Rubbing her head and ruffling her hair, Dan whispered words into her ears which made her explode into a furious blush, "Be satisfied with this, okay? Once everything is over and done, we can have more time together..."

Natalie laid her head on his chest and Grace along with Juliet who witnessed every action that they made stared at them with stern glares. Grace felt neglected and Juliet puffed her cheeks.

"Papa, don't just focus on Mama, give some to Mama Grace, too!" She placed both of her arms in akimbo and Natalie lightly laughed, "It looks like my daughter is favoring her second mother..."

Juliet turned towards her and said, "I'm not favoring anyone, but since Mama Grace is sick, I think that she deserves more from Papa..."

"Okay, okay, that's enough arguing. Juliet, go and take more bowls of congee from the kitchen, we're gonna eat here together..." Dan sent the little girl off leaving the three alone inside the room.

Dan stared at Grace for a moment before tightly embracing her body. Grace's figure froze but she didn't push him away and savored the sensation of his body pushing on her own.

"I'm sorry that you have to suffer through that..." Dan apologized with all his heart. Because he insisted that Grace should take the Inheritance Trial as soon as possible, she became injured and even fell into a coma.

Grace gently pushed him away before smiling, "What are you saying, young master, ever since I became yours I was already prepared to do everything that you want me to do so. Ever since you saved me from that horrendous fate, I was completely yours..."

Dan's movements froze, it was the second time that she heard such an unwavering loyalty and devotion for him coming from a young woman. First, it was Natalie and second it was Grace. Tightly clenching his fists and suppressing the tears that threatened to fall from his eyes, Dan embraced her again and said, 'Grace, there are several things that you definitely need to know, and once you know about everything, I won't blame you about your decision..."

Grace nodded her head without hesitation. Ever since she woke up and noticing the deep-seated guilt within his eyes, she knew that Dan had an idea about what happened to her earlier.

Several minutes later, Grace wore an expression of utter disbelief regarding what Dan had exposed to her. She couldn't believe everything that she said in such a short amount of time. Though the evidence was there, in the form of a strange mark that she could easily manifest with her will.

Second only to the fact that she belonged in such a prestigious clan that was the Longinus Clan's greatest nemesis, what shook her soul the most was the fact that she needed to slay people to achieve an increase in cultivation.

Although Grace didn't mind slaying those that attacked her, she wasn't inclined into killing someone that didn't do her any harm. Witnessing her complicated reaction, Dan didn't force her into doing anything and continued displaying his affection for her.

He even took his own spoon and personally fed her some congee. And of course, Natalie also jumped in the fun and Dan had to spoonfeed four mouths including himself and Juliet.

"Hey, as long as they're happy, I'm completely fine..." Dan shrugged, taking all the dishes away, Dan transformed into a wolf before leaping towards the flock of sheep in the figure of Natalie, Grace, and Juliet.

With Dan's fierce and relentless tickling, the laughter of the three women continuously echoed throughout like bells throughout the entire pavilion.

But of course, when the darkness of the night descended, a different kind of noise which could make anyone shy away from the source, reverberated throughout the entire pavilion.
