Inside of the large property of the Silvercrown Family, within a small hall, four figures sat down around a circular table.
Above the table, there were all types of sweets, pastries, cakes, and more, alongside many types of herbal teas, and the four women sitting around here were enjoying the delicious sweets and the relaxing aromatic tea while chatting leisurely and carefreely…
Their smiles seemed inherently malicious as if they were always like this.
Usually, it would be hard for someone to make an evil smile, but their faces seemed to always have a sadistic smirk to them, which would greatly disturb anyone except themselves… and well, the man of the family, Joseph Silvercrown Astram.
For some reason, he was fine with his two wives and two daughters to always look inherently perverse…
Perhaps he lacked some common sense.
"Fufu, just as we have finally become B-Rank, your father has become B-Rank as well… Now we need to explore more dungeons and finally raise to A-Rank after a few years, we shall become yet another glorious family of A-Rankers," said a silver-haired woman with sharp aquamarine eyes and a beautiful semi-transparent dress, Agatha Windbrand, one of Joseph Silvercrown wives and the mother of their daughter, Anna Silvercrown Windbrand.
"That's right, mother. With the annoying Clementina outside of our family for years, we had never felt this happy before. Just the four of us and daddy… We don't need any wrench like her with us… I hope she's rotting somewhere else…" laughed Anna Silvercrown Windbrand, a beautiful young woman of around 18 years of age, her pale-white skin and beauty was almost unparalleled, and she shared the same features as her mother, but had a long ponytail instead, with silver hair and sharp aquamarine eyes.
"Hm? Clementina? Ah, I had almost forgotten about such a distasteful name… Well, without her things had finally become way better. Daddy gives us more attention and had stopped neglecting us… With her gone, things had really been way better… She was really an annoying little whore…" sighed Julia Silvercrown Luckstrand, the daughter of Guinevere Luckstrand and Joseph Silvercrown, another of Clementina's stepsisters. Her appearance was like her mother, with twin-tailed crimson red hair and glowing emerald eyes. Despite being of a family of high society, she talked rather loosely behind her father's back.
"Fufu, it was so easy to kill Juliette… Really, the imbecile always trusted us so blindly. I guess it was part of the family to be an idiot. That's how her little whore was so easy to deceive… She went so berserk! Julia did amazing work!" laughed Guinevere Luckstrand, a beautiful and mature woman with long crimson hair and bright emerald eyes, wearing a bright red dress, she sipped some tea and kept smiling deviously, as if she were some kind of cliché villain… there were such people in this world.
"Oh yes, it was so delightful to crush her head ad splatter her brains out… Every time I remember that I have a good night. I hated her since the moment she took away the attention from our beloved…" said Agatha.
"Indeed. Although she was there before us, that didn't make her worthy of Joseph… Her screams of agony as I sliced off her legs always brings me a good night's sleep~" said Guinevere.
"Hmmm. Maybe we should have done the same to Clementina?" laughed Julia.
"Oh, that would have been so sweet!" said Anna.
"Oh yes, it would have been lovely, isn't it?"
"Haha! Of course!" said Anna.
"Anna, I didn't say anything…" said Julia.
"Eh?" asked Anna.
Anna suddenly stopped talking, alongside all the three other women around the table, as they felt a chilling presence as if winter itself had entered the room as if the cold winds of the south pole were caressing them with its cold and deadly embrace.
This chilling wind… this horrible, heart-wrenching chilling wind was something they had not felt for a long time… However, unlike that previous time, it was intensified multiple times now.
They felt paralyzed as if the ice had grown a thin layer over their skin and they felt suddenly stuck in place.
A presence which they had not even detected emerged at their side, walking towards them, the lights had suddenly turned off before they moved their eyes towards her, so they could only see the figure of a woman walking through the darkness of the room.
Agatha and Guinevere braced themselves as they began to exert energy into their bodies, quickly shattering the layer of ice over their bodies… they already knew who this was.
"This ice…!" muttered Anna.
"It can't be…! You… How did you get here without us realizing it!?" asked Julia.
"Hm? Can't we have a family reunion from time to time, Anna, Julia? Don't you like to be with your beloved sister?" asked the woman in front of them… a beautiful azure-haired woman with gleaming crimson eyes… her figure was slimmer and even more mature than they remembered as a few years had gone by since they saw her.
But it was undoubtedly her…
"Clementina…" muttered Anna and Julia at the same time.
"Oh my. It seems that my dear sisters remember my name. Come on, where is your strength at? Don't tell me you are going to let me freeze you to death… That wouldn't be fun. And it wouldn't be fulfilling either…" she said coldly, as Anna and Julia began to sweat, although their sweat quickly turned into ice.
The two stepsisters gritted their teeth as they were about to explode and use their powers, however, their mothers were quicker to act!
CRASH!
The two broke their icy prisons, as Guinevere and Agatha confronted Clementina!
"I knew that one day you would come for us, little girl…! Do you have a death wish to dare do such a thing to us?!" roared Agatha, as emerald winds began to flow all around her, like small gusts of slicing airs.
"It is good that you came here for us! We'll crush you as we did to your damn whore of a mother!" roared Guinevere, as several golden strands emerged from below her nails, glowing brightly… these were Golden Strands, the special ability that her family had in many versions.
Clementina's veins suddenly popped up from her forehead and were flowing with blood, as if it were about to explode.
"I always knew it was you who killed her… And since then, since I was exiled, I have been waiting for this moment… And now, I can finally go all out. Don't expect a quick death…" said Clementina, her eyes gleaming with crimson red!
FLASH!
Suddenly, an enormous cold aura emerged out of her body, as she glared coldly at the two women in front of her, and at Anna and Julia who had managed to free themselves from the icy layer keeping them in place.
She kept using her aura until a domain emerged around her, and the entire room was covered in ice!
Guinevere and Agatha were almost blown away by the storm of icy winds and snow, without even understanding how she could have grown so strong in just a few years!
Until they realized that this aura… wasn't even B-Rank like them.
Their eyes almost popping out of their sockets, the two mothers and their daughters would have pissed themselves out of fear if it weren't because their own piss would turn into ice.
"A-Rank?!"
