Chapter 18 (The scandal in the British empire Part 1)

Emilia and Mycroft were inside the carriage as they made their way to Baker Street. Emilia sighed as she remembered the last conversation they had, the invitation was surely a surprising one but she accepted it.

"Is it uncomfortable for you?" Mycroft asked noticing her stiffening. She shook her head gently and replied, "You don't have to worry about me Sir Mycroft. It's just that the invitation was too sudden for me."

"I thought you were uncomfortable with me ridding in the same carriage as you for a moment after all you are already married. I apologise for the sudden invitation I asked you for" he glanced at her scarlet ring which she was carresing at the moment.

They soon reached the Baker Street so they got off and walked towards Sherlock's apartment. "Sherlock's?" Emilia questioned him as Mycroft knocked on the door. "Yes, I have some business with him" he replied.

The door was soon opened by Watson. "Yes, may I help you?---" he proceeded to ask but paused when he saw Emilia waving sheepishly at him. "Emilia-sama?" he blurted out surprised.

"Good morning Watson-san" she greeted him lovingly and she was reciprocated with the same lovely greeting. "This man is...?" Watson whispered in her ear but unfortunately his voice was louder than he thought it to be.

"I came here to meet Sherlock" Mycroft made a loud ahem sound and spoke as a reply to his earlier question. "Yes you must be one of his clients, let me take your coat" Watson helped Mycroft with his coat.

Emilia giggled at the sight as she told them that she will be going ahead to Sherlock's room. They nodded so she set off, once she reached the room she found him having his breakfast.

"Emi!" Sherlock waved happily at her motioning for her to join him. "I am glad you are in high spirits today Sherlock" she smiled at him, though politely declining his offer earning a pout from him.

"So what did you come here for?" he asked her. "Well I--" she was unable to complete her sentence as Mycroft barged in with a gun and tried to hit him while Sherlock dodged it until Mycroft's bullet finally managed to hit him in his forehead.

"Sherlock!" Watson rushed towards him hoping he wasn't dead. Sherlock woke up soon rubbing his forehead mumbling curses at Mycroft. Mycroft laughed smugly at the sight while Emilia sweatdropped at them.

"Now it's 673 wins and 0 losses for me, Sherly" Mycroft scoffed. "Damn you brother go and die!" Sherlock bursted at him out of anger. "Brother?! Why didn't you tell me before Sir Mycroft?" Emilia pouted and crossed her arms looking away from him.

"I thought this situation was the best way for you to find out Lady Emilia besides I wanted to see your reaction" he grinned and proceeded to tease Sherlock about his new gun which released paint when triggered.

"That's why I felt something was similar about you and Sherlock when I bumped into you earlier" she rubbed her forehead soon letting out a smile about how she was tricked. "You have got a good brother Sherly" Emilia teased Sherlock causing him to flinch at her words.

"You too Emi?! Don't hang out with brother anymore you will become like him one day and you won't be fun anymore and stop calling me Sherly" he crossed his arms and pouted like a child. "It should be fair enough no? You call me Emi and you call William, Liam" she replied back leading him to be speechless.

Sherlock and Mycroft had their chat before Mycroft turned it into something serious. "Beware of women" he poked Sherlock's head earning a 'huh?' from him.

"I wonder how I should feel about that? After all I am a woman" Emilia spoke out of the blue turning Mycroft to be speechless. "Looks like you got Shershocked" she teased causing Sherlock to pout more. "I thought I told you to not make puns from my name!" Sherlock scoffed earning another laughter from Emilia and Mycroft.
