Blanche and Kieran immediately froze when they saw who was inside the room.
Rather than what they expected to find, what they really found instead was a thousand times more shocking. The two of them had been ready to instantly stop whatever was going on inside, but now, they let their magic disperse naturally.
Inside was a rather familiar face that Blanche hadn't seen in a few years. Although he was older now, Blanche could recognize him at first glance.
"Alec?"
She fully expected to find a guard assaulting a young child, but instead, what she saw was a guard curled up in a foetal position, making high-pitched whimpers as Alec abused him under his feet.
Briefly, she thought to herself that it was no wonder the man was making such high-pitched sounds if his dick was being stomped on like that. No wonder she thought it was a child suffering.
Shocked, Kieran blurted out, "Uncle?"
Alec, who was just as shocked as the two of them, lost control of his strength unintentionally and crunched down a lot harder than he'd been planning on doing. He immediately controlled himself, but it was already too late for the man.
Instantly, an agonized scream of pain came from the guard who'd been suffering under Alec's ministrations.
The lower half of the guard's body was completely flattened by Alec's use of strength, but Alec didn't seem to find anything wrong with that.
Alec was inwardly annoyed at his loss of control. With how much more strength he had than those who usually used magic to boost their strength, he had to be extra controlled with himself lest he hurt those under his care, and he'd actually slipped up because of a measly surprise.
Luckily, the guard wasn't anyone important, and he'd already gotten all the information he wanted out of him.
Instead, he just smiled his usual smile, and the kidnapper who'd been standing behind Blanche and Kieran felt a chill go down his spine at the innocent-looking smile on the teenager's face.
Compared to what he was doing previously, the fact that this boy was still able to smile meant that something was very, very wrong.
"Big sister. Kieran," Alec greeted. He hadn't felt them coming at all. The damned thing they injected into his bloodstream was still working, but this was a rather pleasant surprise.
He had not expected to run into anyone he knew when he was across the continent, but he had.
He supposed it had to do with the fate of Main Characters?
Unfortunately for the kidnapper, Blanche instantly made the connection that he was the one who'd brought Alec here. She didn't forget despite the surprise they got.
She grabbed the kidnapper by the scruff of his neck and shoved him into the room, closing the door behind her.
The kidnapper whimpered, especially when he landed on the guard's previous lower body, which was now completely flattened, but still contained the texture of skin and blood.
The man trembled, but he didn't dare to do anything to set him off.
However, he could tell that was a futile hope when glacial green eyes glared at him.
"So, the 'little boy' you were talking about previously is my little brother?" Blanche also smiled, but unlike Alec, whose smile appeared gentle despite everything, hers was an ice-cold one.
"Ah, wait. I want to kill him myself," Alec cut in. This was the idiot that *dared* touch him while he was 'unconscious'. He would pay greatly for that. Of that, Alec would make sure.
Alec learnt his lesson. Next time, he'd either sneak in another way, or just kick the door down like Blanche had done so with her six-inch high heels.
"Hmph." Blanche wanted to take revenge for him, but her cute little brother was obviously trying to say that he was all grown up now and could take care of his own problems.
It made her reminisce about the time that Kieran and Dietrich grew up as well. "Fine." She threw the idiot over and strode over to the other man.
"Then, I'll kill the one that you were torturing earlier," Blanche said, her eyes glinting.
Kieran slowly palmed his face. He just knew his mother wasn't going to let it go. Seems like she still wanted to do something for Alec.
Alec glanced at the guard and shrugged. The man was already half-dead anyway.
The guard was still gasping lowly on the floor, trying to crawl away even though his lower body was already completely obliterated.
Blanche clicked her tongue and walked up to the man who was still crawling away at a snail's pace.
She was surprised that he was still awake, given the state of his lower body. Alec had crushed everything from his spine down, flattening it. When the man crawled away, he actually fully detached from the lower half of his body.
She was mildly surprised that he hadn't gone into shock or passed out from the pain, but felt a bit of magic lingering in her body, rightly thinking that Alec had done something on that account.
With a single step, his head completely exploded under her high heels, sending blood all over the place.
His body twitched a little before falling limp.
Blood splattered over her white heels and stained her pale green dress, some of it even landing on her face.
The blood and brain matter splattered about in a truly gruesome and horrifying way, coating the walls and everything around him.
Some of it landed on the kidnapper, causing the man to whimper as his eyes showed the deepest amount of fear, his pupils dilating.
Kieran disdainfully shielded himself from the residual gore, wrinkling his nose in disgust.
Some of it also landed on Alec, but not as much, and he obviously wasn't perturbed by it.
Blanche smirked as if she was telling Alec to get on with it.
Alec smiled back at Blanche and started systematically killing the man. He would not allow him to die so easily.
While Alec tortured the man, and Blanche gave a few directions, Kieran was silently standing at the side.
While he himself didn't partake in torture, that didn't mean that he didn't condone it. He just didn't have the taste of doing it himself. Some people deserved it and so much worse.
He reflected back on the changes his mother had gone through since meeting Alec for the first time.
While his mother had always been cold, she'd always shown her love in little ways that weren't too obvious. After she met Alec, she let herself go more, and Kieran knew that his father was thrilled about the change.
His mother used to keep herself shackled down with rules, as if they were iron-clad, attending tea parties even though she hated them with a passion. Nowadays, she didn't go to any tea parties unless she wanted to do so.
Not to mention, his mother finally revealed to them that she was a Sin.
To be honest, it wasn't a surprise at all, and it didn't make them love her any less. It was just that she showed her love in different ways. They'd always suspected, really. There were only so many years you could go before you started to notice things.
Many things had changed since their first meeting, and for that, Kieran was always grateful that she had a chance to meet Alec in the first place.
Grateful enough that he would actually call Alec his uncle even in company that wasn't direct family.
There were many ways that his mother seemed to relate with Alec, and sometimes the Bright couldn't help but wonder whether or not Alec was really a Sin instead. It certainly felt like it at times.
It really did feel like his parents had another son, giving them another brother that seemed too act way too old and mature for his age, despite the little act he put on.
Gentleness was what Alec wore like a mask, and he'd never been more wary of people smiling at him like that than he had been after meeting Alec for the first time.
With the mandate on Sins being removed by the new emperor, there were many Sins that started to reveal themselves, but even so, there were many more that remained in hiding.
His mother was one of those that remained in hiding.
When Kieran asked why, she said, 'Why should I reveal my upper hand?', and Kieran couldn't help but agree.
With a final squelch, the man finally died. The silence almost seemed to ring in the absence of the previous scream.
"So, big sister, what are you doing here?" Alec asked.
"We're tracking down some errant members of the branch family that escaped to this continent." Blanche paused, raising a brow at Alec. She didn't even hesitate to reveal something that was potentially sensitive. "What about you? I don't believe you managed to get yourself caught by these fools of all people."
Alec smiled. "Of course not. I was faking it since it seemed like it would be easier that way, but I don't think I'll be doing that any time soon. How many people are you looking for?"
Kieran pulled out a handkerchief and used it to scrub at Alec's face. He wanted to do so for his mother as well, but he didn't have a death wish, thank you very much.
Blanche felt amused at her son's fussing, but still answered Alec's question with a scowl. "There's at least ten of them that are involved in this shenanigan. I fully expect we'll have to track more of them down if they get wind of us here."
"Let's go together, then."
Kieran felt distressed when he realized that he was only making the blood spread more on Alec's face instead of cleaning it off.
Alec's smile twitched, and he lightly grabbed Kieran's hand. "Don't worry about it. I'm sure I'll end up getting a lot more stains, so there's no point in cleaning it off."
The Bright paused. Right. How could he forget that this was the little boy that had killed with a smile on his face back in their family mansion?
Blanche walked off first, her heels still not producing any sound at all, showing off her masterful control over her body.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
