"I heard she's coming back sister Margaret."

"Really? She hasn't died yet, sister Kayla?"

"Nono, she was even given treasures and gifts by his highness the emperor."

"My! Do you think she will share it with us?"

"Share with us? Pff, sister Nichol she doesn't need to share it. We can just take it."

"That's right Sister Darla, all we need to do is whisper some words to father and all is set."

Scarlet stood before the entrance of the huge wooden gate that had a sign at the top.

ASHEGREY HOUSEHOLD

There was no good memory of this place ever since her father and mother passed away. The owner of this body suffered greatly from her uncle and his family.

Scarlet smiles slyly to herself. The only secret she knows and advantage she has against them is that they don't know that the one in this body is not Scarlet Ashegrey, but Scarlet Snowfall. The worst criminal in the future, and one's whose cultivation is vastly in the upper high levels. Freely she shall live and with amusement while looking for her lost memories.

Scarlet pushes the door open. Servants at the door jumped at her entrance thinking that it was a thief that had come, but what kind of thief would come through the front entrance. Taking a better look, they saw that it was just Scarlet. They shrug at her and walk away. Even the servants treat her like this. How interesting.

[Scarlet? Where did you get that wound!?]

[Nowhere... Someone wanted a fight so I gave it to them...]

[...Did they pick on you for your hair color again?]

[...no...]

[... Why don't I teach you a trick in getting back at people who are mean to you without them knowing?]

[There's such a thing?]

[Of course.]

Scarlet grabs a rock from the ground and throws it at the servants head. They all turn around and look at each other.

"Did you hit me?"

"No, you're the one who hit me!"

"You!"

As she watches them hit each other, the head servant comes out from hearing all of the ruckus. He saw Scarlet and quickly yelled out, "How dare you fight in front of Miss Scarlet!"

All of the servants stopped fighting and quickly went in a single file line before the head servant. The head servant's name was Benjamin, but was nicknamed Ben. He turns to Scarlet with a bow, "Forgive us for giving you such a shameless sight, Miss Scarlet."

"Shameless fight? No one knew who I was and didn't even come greet me like you did, Ben. What's there to see when I am invisible to them?" Scarlet said with a gentle but chilling voice.

Ben fell on his knee right before her. The other servants did the same. Ben had heard about what Scarlet had done in the war, and how the emperor had praised her. If they so much even upset her, their life that is already like a dog will only become a pile of shit. Only Ben knew of the consequences, while these other idiots didn't. They didn't know the seriousness of the situation until they saw him bowing before her.

"Please calm your anger Miss Scarlet," Ben finally manages to breath out.

In her memories, Ben was a shrewd person who would also suck up to the one with the most power in the household. Why wouldn't he when he wants to live as humanly as possible. No one wants to be a servant their whole life.

Scarlet looks at them in silence before saying, "Where are my uncles and cousins?"

"At the main hall, Miss Scarlet," he answered.

Scarlet nods and leaves. Ben breathes out in relief as soon as her figure disappears. One of the servants went up to him, "Why do we need to show respect to that useless person?"

Ben glares at the servant who asked him such a foolish question. He kicked him hard on the stomach causing him to puke out the food he had eaten. The servant crawls around the ground trying to breath.

"Fools, all of you! There's words saying that the emperor is willing to grant her one wish! If we so much get on her bad side, what makes you think she won't tell him to just murder us!"

The servants crowded away in fear. He snarls at them and quickly heads over to the main hall as well.

As soon as Scarlet was at the entrance of the main hall, chatters and giggles were heard. She peeks through the wooden door. There was a very fat man sitting in the middle where the head household sits. Beside him was his wife and mistress. Next to them was their daughter. The oldest Margaret, the daughter of the main wife. Second oldest, Kayla, third oldest Darla, and the youngest Nichol, the three daughters of his mistress. Beside the daughter was the oldest son of the main wife, Lenard, and the second son Milo, son of the mistress.

All of the players of the house were there except for one. Scarlet smiles to herself, as she looks forward to the entertainment they were going to provide her with. She knocks on the door, catching all of their attention. The giggles and chatter suddenly stop from the sight of seeing her. Interesting indeed. She walks up to them and stops at least seven feet away from them.

"Greeting to Uncles and cousin," said Scarlet without a bow.

Her uncle, Brett begins to get irritated at her manners. His daughter giggles among themselves, seeing an opportunity to have Scarlet get in trouble. Brett swallows his anger and welcomes her.

"Welcome back my dear niece, how was the war?"

Scarlet smiles at his questions, "As a war should be. Chaotic and filled with enemies that want to kill you. It's either kill or be killed."

As Scarlet said this, she looks at each one of her Uncles kids. This sent chills down their spines. Margaret coughs out, "That must have been horrible for you."

Scarlet shakes her head, "I felt like it was the only place I could be true to myself."

Margaret's eyes twitch, "What do you mean, sister?"

"Fighting until the other dies from either being beaten to death to a bloody plump or begging for mercy for a quick death," said Scarlet with an innocent smile, "It was very basic human nature that anyone could understand."

"Enough!" Her uncle hollars out, "What's the point telling us this!?"

Scarlet blinks at them, "Cousin Margaret asked, so I answered."

Kayla clears her throat to change the subject, "I heard that the emperor granted you gifts?"

"He did."

"...."

Kayla clears her throat again, "Did your sister not think of us to bring some?"

<Why not be more honest into saying that you just want the treasure I received from his highness like you always do?>

Scarlet took a while to answer, "I completely forgot."

The girls look at her in shock. How could she say that! Margaret grinds her lips, "Father... it seems that sister forgets who her family are..."

"Scarlet, it is good you brought honor to the family, but leaving your sisters out of it is asking too much."

<Wow, how shameless are you people...>

Scarlet smiles at them, "Dear cousins, I did want to bring something back, but when General Ridrick and Vice General Christ requested his highness to share it among the soldiers, would it not make Ashegrey HouseHold look greedy and selfish if I didn't do the same?"

They all look at her shocked and bewildered. Except for one person, Nichol. She was a spoiled child and wanted all the jewelers there for herself. When she heard that Scarlet had received treasures, she would act like a child who only wanted to borrow things but really keep it. But now, Scarlet is telling her that she shared her jewelry with peasants and commoners, her whole head boiled with anger.

"How could you do such a thing! If I were you, I would have just kept my mouth shut and kept it! What the hell are they going to use it for!" Nichol screams out.
