Unscrupulous Lady Of A Criminal {MORIARTY THE PATRIOT}

Act 8: The Performance At The Noahtic (2)

Looking at the two siblings cowering onto each other and to the fellow Ashford butler who is whistling as if he didn't do anything stupid, Uriel's hollow smile remains as she spoke with a sweet voice that contrast greatly to the look on her face most especially when it was shadowed by her fedora. "Looks like the three of you are having fun making a fool out of yourselves."

Luke flinched as he tried to reason with her. "W-wait! We did this because we were worried!"

Allen nodded. "Yeah! Our sweet and soft spoken Uriel has never made any intimate male contact outside the Ashford family and it really made us a bit concerned!"

Right after Allen spoke, Athena suddenly pushed aside the two men without a single fuck for them and hugged Uriel protectively. "They're right. Plus you're not like me who had absolutely give no fucks about being close to a guy. A timid person like you won't let a man get close with you unless it meant business. So-"

"Is that so..." Uriel's face still did not change.

Reasoning? Failed!

The three silently cried in their hearts.

Since when did our sweet little sister Uriel become so scary?!

Several footsteps then approached the group. They turn their heads to see three noble ladies get close to Sherlock.

"Come on, let's try the upper deck now!" One of them said as she lock her arm with Sherlock's.

Uriel Flinched slightly at the sight.

"Are we still doing this?" Sherlock smirk as they dragged him away.

"At this point, I want to see how many times in a row you can guess correctly."

"What's a fellow to do?" Just before he could leave, Sherlock look back at William and said, "Well, see you around, mathematician." Then he moved his gaze to Uriel, who had a sad and disappointed face while staring at him. He chuckled at her adorable look and winked at her then turn around to continue his pace.

Athena saw what Sherlock just did and glanced at her personal servant before smirking.

The look on her face... Indeed.

"The look of a person who fell in love at first sight~!"

Uriel jumped in surprise at her lady's statement.

"Ooohhh~? Is that so?" Allen crept behind the poor girl with a sly smirk. She swore she saw devil horns and tail on the man.

"L-lord Allen-!"

"Our sweet Uriel has finally grown up! I suddenly feel old..." 

"Mr. Luke! I'd appreciate it if you don't cry like a father sending his daughter away!"

"Shut up! I'm not that old!"

While the three continue to focus their attention to the poor Uriel, someone approached William and conversed with him quietly.

"Did something came up?" It was Moran dressing up as one of the crew.

"No. This should pose no great hindrance to our plan." Then he gave a serious side glance at Moran. "How are you fairing?"

"Our target is becoming considerably agitated, right on schedule."

"Good. Keep it up." William then look towards Athena's way while continuing. "It will not be longer before he nears the end of his endurance."

Moran nodded before looking at the direction William is looking.

"That woman, Athena."

"Hm?" The blonde raised a brow, still staring at Athena as she hug her servant with a big smile on her face.
