The seaport in London


Ahh yes... The sun. The sky. The sea.

"And this big ass boat!" Both Athena and Allen exclaimed in joy.

The siblings marveled at the sight of the Noahtic shamelessly like toddlers, all while ignoring both the looks of distaste from a few nobles and the embarrassed faces of Luke and Uriel.

"Miss Athy, Lord Allen, I beg you please restrain yourselves." Uriel tried to calm them down but Luke held her back by gently grabbing her shoulder and shake his head.

"Don't bother. Let those idiots do what they want. We can't afford to waste our energy on their playtime."

"Mr. Luke, you do realize that you sound like a single parent whose so done with his children, right?" Uriel sweatdropped.

Luke on the other hand gave her a dark smile. "The times where you're not there to hold the lady back was hell."  

Uriel could only laugh nervously at his scary smile. She can't blame the guy. He truly felt like he's a father of some shitty brats who doesn't know what "limitation" means.

Amongst the people that the Ashfords know, there are only four people who are able to control the siblings' chaos. Namely, the duchess, the old head maid- Robart, Uriel, and William. Though the last one only applied to Athena. Uriel was able to calm them down with great effort and verbal skills but as soon as she is done, energy had been sapped away from her. That's why Luke can't have Uriel tired so soon in order to do her duty as Athena's personal servant.

"But I wish they could at least worry about their public image right now..." Uriel sighed as she tilted down her fedora. Ever since she came to Durham to reunite and serve Athena, she was subjected to listening everything that happened to her, including her reunion with the Moriarty brothers and the confession.

Most especially the confession.

Oh God, she could almost hear Athena screaming a bunch of angry "I love you's" to the poor lord. If he's here, she'll need to remember and apologize for her lady's forceful confession.

"Hey Athy. Where's my Durham goods?" Allen asked after he's done admiring the ship.

Athena shrugged. "I'm not sure where. I guess it's within one of my luggage, but if not, then its gone." Then she walk away from him as the male shout her name.

The weather is pretty good. Could she be able to find a good drinking buddy while sailing the vast, beautiful sea? She sure hope she does 'cause Athena is already getting tired of having her shitty brother drink some booze with her.

"Tch." Athena heard an annoyed sound beside her. She turn her head to see a nobleman, who also look like a fucking bastard in her eyes.

She secretly look at him with a judging look as he continue speaking while covering his nose. "Why is there so much refuse here? This is a maiden voyage of a luxury cruise liner."

What the fuck is his problem?

"They're all passengers, sir." Both the nobleman and Athena look behind them to see...

Holy shit! Freddie my little cinnamon roll! Is that you?! Why the fuck are you wearing a crew's uniform? So cute!

Wait. If Fred is here, that means Cinderella is also here right?

Right?!

Fred already knew that Athena is nearby, but he didn't bother to acknowledge her presence and remained his gaze to the man a few meters beside her. "There are different classes of passenger cabins, and a number of the rooms available are moderately priced."
