Along the way to the front yard, as usual, the members greeted Ainsley warmly.
"Boss! Morning!"
"Boss. Where are you going? We will accompany you!"
"Boss, boss!"
Some kids even secretly followed behind Ainsley while giggling here and there.
"That lil sister is our saviour!"
"She's even younger than us, but she's so incredible."
"We owe her!"
With Ainsley's keen hearing, she could hear the kids' chatter, and her face unknowingly stiffened.
She recalled the war reports about the casualties they suffered.
Among them, a lot of kids from the Sloan Family died in the hands of smaller families around the Sloan Family's mansion.
These families didn't join the war but secretly colluded with the Aretha Family to kidnap the Sloan Family's kids.
Just recalling this report alone made Ainsley's face sink.
'Just you wait. You guys….all of you that dare to attack my family…'
Ainsley clenched her fists as she walked out of the mansion. The sun shone upon her purple hair and the wind blew her skirt.
This is my counterattack!
Ainsley finally arrived at the front gate along with Cellino and the invisible spirits behind her. She had just gone out of the gate when she noticed two huge stone tablets not far from the gate.
The two stone tablets were as tall as the gate itself, and they sandwiched the gate at the centre.
The tablets looked like they had just been built crudely because they didn't look like neat tablets. Just a huge rock that one could find at the mountain.
However, Ainsley's eyes didn't focus on how crude the stone tablets were. Her eyes were glued to the small carvings on the stone's surface.
If one looked closer, the left stone tablet had this sentence at the top.
"May your heroic deeds burn for eternity."
The right stone tablet had this sentence at the beginning.
"May you rest in peace."
When Ainsley read the words on the stone tablet, she realised that the left stone recorded all the names of those family members dying in the war.
Whereas the right stone recorded all the names of the villagers and innocent people who died in the Sloan Family territory because of the war.
Ainsley couldn't count how many people were recorded there, but it was more than 100 names for sure.
Seeing such a scene, Ainsley's eyes unknowingly reddened. Tears started to gather in her eyes.
'These are the people that I failed to protect.'
The baby clenched her fists as she stood in front of the towering stone tablet.
The tablet was so tall that it even blocked the sunlight coming to Ainsley's face.
'I...am responsible for you guys' deaths.'
Ainsley bit her lips as she slowly lifted her head. She took a few steps closer to the tablet and stretched her hand.
It's cold. And rough.
The baby stroked the stone's surface and tried to touch one of the names carved there, even though she was too short to do that.
She didn't care if the dust and dirt...smeared her pink uniform.
All she cared for was how she could somehow touch the names.
'Everyone…'
Ainsley stroked the stone tablet a few times before she backed off. The baby dusted off her blazer and skirt, tidied up her appearance before taking a deep breath.
"Twank you for your service." Ainsley suddenly bowed 90° in front of the left stone tablet that recorded the deceased Sloan Family' fighters.
Tears were already threatening to pour out of Ainsley's eyes, but the baby bit her lips to endure.
"Twank ywou for protecting us."
Ainsley kept her bow for several minutes before she walked to the right stone tablet, where they recorded the names of innocents who died in the war.
The baby also stroked the tablet, backed off, and made another bow.
"I'm sowwy. Pwease. Rest in peace."
This time, Ainsley bowed at the stone tablets a few times before she straightened her back. The baby wiped off the tears that dripped down her cheeks as she turned around sharply.
Her hair fluttered in the air, and the pink tie that she wore also danced wildly.
With her back facing the stone tablets, the baby tottered to the distance.
The morning sunlight shone upon her lonely back as she became smaller and smaller...until she disappeared into the distance.
[...are you okay, lil lass?] The Godfather, who was silent all this time, suddenly asked Ainsley while travelling in the air.
Ainsley mounted Cellino, and since Cellino could ride the wind, their journey became much faster than usual.
[...I am owkay, Godfathel. Don't worry.] Ainsley paused for a bit before forcing a smile at the Godfather.
Even though she told herself to stay strong, she still couldn't get rid of this grief. She would only feel satisfied after she eliminated those scums through this revenge.
Ainsley didn't plan her revenge out of the blue. Before she fainted, she had already thought of doing this.
Others could casually attack my family and get away with it? You wish!
The Godfather saw the fire burning in Ainsley's eyes and couldn't help but sigh.
[Alright. Just don't overuse your energy once more. Remember, you're here not to destroy the Aretha Family but to annoy them, right?]
[Correct! I'll only destroy the mid-ranked families and the low-level families. No worries.] Ainsley was all smiles as they headed to the Aretha Family's main territory.
It took them an hour to arrive since the Aretha Family's main mansion was so far from the Sloan Family and the Walter Family's territory!
It was 9 a.m when Ainsley finally saw a towering castle surrounded by lush forests and military bases.
It was the Aretha Family's main mansion!
Ainsley squinted. A smirk appeared on her face.
Aretha bastard...here I come!
