When Athena entered her newly bought residence, she saw a telegram laying on the floor. It must've been delivered by the mailman. She picked the envelop up and saw the Ashford seal in front.

"I already told them not to contact me unless one of them is dead, damn it." Athena strutted towards the living room and ripped the envelop and read the letter. When she read what was said in the letter, at first, she had this look of annoyance until her eyes shone excitedly and smiled brightly.

"Hello to you, dear sister!

I, your handsome brother, have a special news for you. But first, how are you? I heard that you've finally found your long lost Cinderella. Were you currently stalking him? Oh wait. Of course you are. How could you not? Your obsession is scarier than old hag Robart.

Hell, you even bought a residence near him.

Well, setting this aside, Your precious personal Servant has come home. She had to bring her mother home first before coming back here at the Ashford residence. So if you want her by your side, I'll tell her to go to Durham right away.

Oh, I almost forgot. In a few weeks, since mom and dad are going to be busy, The two of us will be attending to the Ballet performance being held in a big ass boat. Noahtic? Was it that name? Or is it Titanic? I'm not really sure, Since I don't particularly care anyway. Don't say no, sister. Or else...

PS.

Bring Durham goodies at the boat.


From yours truly,

Allen the Handsome."

"Who the fuck is handsome again?" Athena chucked the letter to the side and sighed before smiling in nostalgia. "It's been a long time, Uriel..."

She could remember it as if it was only yesterday when the two met.

She met the girl a few months after William and the others left. Athena didn't know she was a girl back then because she wore something similar to what Louis had worn when they were children, the difference was hers is a lot more dirty and tattered. Uriel was also wearing a shawl to cover her head, preventing anyone to see her face. She also look about the same age as Athena.

Athena got this feeling that she had seen this kid more than once before it suddenly hit her when she saw Uriel about to steal a loaf of bread.

That was the kid who she bumped against right before she met Albert. The kid who stole a bread roll that she paid for later on. They had the same clothes and the same stature.

Before Uriel could successfully snatch the bread, Athena beat her to it by placing a few coins, startling both Uriel and the baker.

"Two loaves of bread, please."

The baker nodded and gave her the bag of bread. Athena took it and faced the little thief, who  was looking at the ground next to her. "What's your name?"

The child hesitated before answering. "Uriel..." Athena was surprised to hear her voice being so meek and timid and quite high pitched for a boy. No, this kid isn't a boy in the first place. It's because of the covers that the kid wore that made it hard for her to know her real gender.

"Well Uriel, here you go."  She gave Uriel the bread.

"U-umm... You... Don't have to do this." 

"This is much better than stealing from the baker, you know?" Then she shoved the bag to the kid who spluttered a sound of surprise. "Besides, I also paid for the bread you stole months ago."
