Hitomi POV

I coughed as I laid on the futon in my room. This house is old mansion my mom got built due to my weak sickly body. Much to the daughter of the crown princess princess Nara, my mother and millions of others in this mixed era couldn’t find out the cause. My mom found the best doctors yet they could amount to nothing in front of my sickly body. As far as I can remember my body is physically weaker than even humans. I also have a fiancé who loves and spoil me but I don’t exact love him. Then there’s my sisters whom are overly worried about me.

“Are you hurting anywhere.”

“Nope I’m fine, though what I heard was funny. Mom said you got lost in the grass plain when the giant tower was the meeting spot.”

3rd person POV

Niana flinched when she saw the hanya mask behind her sister. Hitomi watched as her sister fidgeted with her fingers avoiding eye contact. Her thoughts on this were sister isn’t exactly the brightest person. She’s a straightforward person yet sometimes forgetful.

Hitomi POV

I’m sure sister forgot about using her wings again. This person is a klutz for life, which reminds me she forgot to close the sliding doors. Remembering this I couldn’t help but chuckle.

“It’s the typical right sister.”

Sister didn’t say anything but nodded to my words as I looked out the sliding door. Which reminds me my fiancé had over stuffed my futon saying I’ll probably feel better. But I’m use to it already the idiot is a weirdo in his own right. Just that I, a pure angel yearn for the outside world. To fly in the skies openly like the rest of my race. Right my sister is also 13 years old.

1st elder sister Fiona Ulsra is 230 years old, 2nd sister Kana (their mother named her after the cheerful optimistic death goddess Kana) Ulsra is age 150. 3rd sister I will not go into detail she’s creep the heck out of me. Yet my sisters say it’s just me, but I’m sure my intuition isn’t wrong. Kana is a weirdo according to the maids rumors about her from outside. I mean she’s a kind sister to all of us so those rumors can’t be true. Makes me think they’re slandering her beauty due to jealousy. She has light blue hair, beautiful green eyes and a gentle figure. Anyway the image is the opposite of what she is in the house. (That’s because her hobbies are: slaughtering, torturing, massacre and enslaving others.)

I mean it goes against our ancestors teachings making it impossible.

“Hitomi you seem out of it now.”

“No I was just pondering if I can ever be in the outside world.”

3rd person POV

Niana sat in silence in seiza as she stared at her sister nervously. Hitomi sat up from her futon which made Niana freeze not knowing what to do. This eyes staring back at her were neither kind nor warm. She knew Hitomi wasn’t kidding around about wanting to go out. It had been her sister’s goal all her life.

“Sister you calm down please. The maids can help you walk since your so weak physically.”

Hitomi glared back at her sister knowing her sister meant this out of worry but she also wanted to do things herself. Niana couldn’t help but shift uncomfortably while she was being glared at. It was saying in mocking manner to Niana no need to point the obvious to me. As a girl she too dreamed of freedom in the outside world. She felt nervous when she saw a transparent reaper like existence behind Hitomi which made her run for dear life on the sliding door to her right. Fiona, the red haired sister of hers popped out her head laughing at the two.

“Why must this body be born so weak I can’t even do something as simple as sports.” (Hitomi)

Her condition was unique, unstable making her unable to go far from the house. A sigh escaped her when she knew Niana wasn’t even in the hallway anymore. Hitomi just stared instead at the night sky through the sliding door on her left. This was the same door Niana came through to get here. She couldn’t help but admire the stars in the night sky.

“Here’s your dinner.” (Fiona)

Hitomi didn’t respond to her setting the tray next to her. But she knew her sister who hide her 2 wings longed for the outside more than a normal princess would. Because they (her sisters) had more freedom than Hitomi themselves. Her sister would also go on individual walks by herself so her legs wouldn’t get paralyzed. That was why she was angered by Niana’s wording though she (Niana) meant goodwill to Hitomi. Instead she got up and stretched herself as Fiona gave her a wry smile. Then she (Hitomi) quietly remembered her mother put up a barrier so she wouldn’t run off worrying the family. She only remembered this due to seeing Fiona next to her with her tray of food. It reminded her futile attempts at age 5 of running outside. Being young she couldn’t believe her mother that she was ill.

It wasn’t that she had her health deteriorating it was rather she couldn’t even do a thing normal humans did. It upset her at first that she couldn’t do much but sit in bed. She felt helpless as if she’s loitering around as a freeloader but she knew she’d be instant killed if she went to the outside world.

“Sister must I be caged like a wild bird. Yearning for the outside though I see it. For what reason must the bird be caged until the bitter end of its own life. Why must I have a body that won’t even listen to me. I can’t even train besides knowing the knowledge of how to use a knife.”

She turned around when she heard a drop of a tray. Seeing who it is Fiona and Hitomi are stunned to see Kana. There was a awkward silence as they watched Kana cry.

“No need for those things in the outside they’ll just taint our cute little Hitomi.”(Kana)

Fiona couldn’t help but frown at Kana who showed up unexpectedly.

“By the way your kimono makes you look like Kaguya. Just that your too sickly to move around.” (Kana)

“Yet wasn’t she sacrificed by her villagers to a demon. Only to be eaten and turned into a vengeful ghost out for revenge.”

Kana cried as she patted Hitomi’s head comfortably to calm her sister down. Yet the one she was really assuring was herself. But Hitomi turned quiet because she was only 10 years old. Yet her mental age is older than her physical age due to being sickly. In her spare time Hitomi can be found in the library. Niana brought a third tray of food. Nara watched the heart warming scene, it had been a long time since she saw her granddaughter Hitomi. 5 years since her daughter laughing so care freely with her sisters. The former crown princess frowned as she looked on at them worried. This unknown sickness was something her granddaughter had at birth. Yet the good news was it was neither a curse or poison. She couldn’t help but scoff as she remembered her father announced her as crown princess only to exile her.

Elsewhere in a modern city cafe, Ling Yue choked on her food upon seeing Zenith’s report. She was eating her suishi with her tea. Instead she glared at Zenith as if to say you allowed the idiot to approach my brother like that. Her best friend was supposed to kill Blade not flirt with her target. Anger was clearly seen on her face as she looked at the report. From what she heard the two idiots were making out in front of a store. Instead she facepalmed, as a assassin her best friend had just fail.
