The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World
71 Learning More About Her
While Aiden was doing the Parkour Challenge in the Everheart Manor, someone was knocking on his door in the slums.
Tapping her feet on the door as she waited impatiently for Aiden to open the door but30 seconds later, she grew tired and simply entered the house.
This person was obviously Emily, Aiden's maid.
"Aiden, you there?" she said out loud in a reasonable tone of voice that could easily reach the entirety of the house.
But, unsurprisingly, there was no answer.
"Stop hiding and come out," she said almost sure that he was currently hiding somewhere inside this house.
After all, she knew that he wasn't doing anything in this place, he always slept on his bed not even going outside.
But she couldn't hear even the faintest noise inside this small little shack.
She decided to search for him inside since there was only a single place where he could hide, the closet.
But as she opened it, there was simply nothing inside of it which meant that Aiden had either gone outside or he had left this place.
Knowing that he wasn't there, she decided that he probably went out.
Even if it was odd she didn't have much of a choice since she needed to tell the Nightshade family about any changes.
A couple of hours later, it was now the night and Aiden still wasn't there.
She started to lose patience and simply left as it was pretty much obvious that Aiden wouldn't be coming home.
She didn't care enough about him to search for him, so she simply left as she would go back to the Nightshade Territory which was quite far away.
'I'll just tell them that he disappeared, it shouldn't be that big of a deal,' thought Emily, knowing that the family didn't care that much about him.
She then left the Slums and went back to the Nightshade territory preparing herself to announce this news.
Emily was happy that she hadn't found him since it mean that she wouldn't have to come back to this dirty place ever again.
Well, that's what she hoped.

Back to the training grounds of the Everheart Family
"So, are you the famous Emma Everheart?" asked Aiden who kept looking at her blue eyes.
As he pronounced those words, members of the family kept looking at them, intrigued by how she was going to respond to Aiden.
After all, it wasn't every day that people went to talk to the daughter of the Matriarch openly.
Most people found her unattainable as she was talented, beautiful, and strong. She was simply perfect, from the outside she just seemed like the perfect person.
But to reach that state, she had needed to work her entire life as she didn't want to disappoint her mother.
She knew that Maelis would support her even if she wasn't the best but she knew that would put pressure on her which is why she decided to try her best to support her as best as she could.
"Yes, I am and you're Aiden, right?" said Emma as she had obviously learned his name as she kept trying to beat his record.
"Yep," said Aiden nodding before opening his mouth once again. "So, what did you think? Am I as good as you thought?"
Those questions kind of stunned Emma as she didn't think that he would simply go right into the subject before doing a proper introduction.
But she didn't mind as it would simply save both of them time.
However, the problem was that she didn't really know how to answer.
But, after thinking it through a little, she found what seemed to be an alright answer.
"I thought you would be a little better, with some practice I should beat you easily," lied Emma without showing any signs of it.
The crowd hearing that declaration was getting more and more excited as some sort of rivalry was starting to be created between the two of them.
But Aiden didn't really care about what she had just said. After all, he didn't think it meant much, in his mind, she simply said such a thing because she thought it was the truth.
He just couldn't pick on those small hidden messages, he didn't have the capabilities to do so.
Living his life isolated without any friends had made him this way and there was nothing he could do about it as he wasn't aware of what was wrong with his understanding of general matters.
"Alright, I guess, want to go talk in private?" he asked as he didn't want everyone around them to hear about their conversation.
"Sure," said Emma as she also wasn't comfortable being observed so much.
Then, the two of them started walking toward the entrance of the training grounds as they kept discussing.
The crowd which was watching had understood the message and left them alone not wanting to anger Emma.
"So, what did you want to talk about?" asked Emma, not really having an idea what to talk about.
"Well, I heard that you were Maelis's daughter, how much do you know about me?" asked Aiden as he wanted to understand the information Maelis had revealed about him.
"Nothing much, she just told me that you came from the Slums and that you had some talent in many things such as parkour," said Emma as Aiden could still feel him beating her in something that had hurt her.
It seemed like she was competitive not wanting to lose at any cost, but that wasn't the problem of Aiden who had simply participated to reach first place on the Rankings, but also to prove that he still had a good mastery over his movement techniques.
"So, what do you think, I proved my talent right?"
"I already told you with some practice I will easily be better than you," said Emma once again not acknowledging Aiden.
She didn't want him to think that she was inferior to him.
