——— • That question seemed to affect the clown, his posture became stiff, and his facial expression fell. Dagger's eyes were wide, like a deer caught in headlights.

"Ara, it seems like I hit a jackpot here with the young lady..."

Lady Moriarty's eyes did not falter, and they looked amused. Her older brother grinned, "That's an odd thing to guess, Eve. They're a traveling circus, they would have to travel at night too." He said. Eve, what a strange nickname.

Joker snapped out of his stunned phase and brushed it off, he laughed awkwardly. "Haha! Yes, I do go out at night frequently." He admits innocently.

The doctor also had a suspicious reaction, but quickly wiped it off when he noticed my stare. The young lady of the circus had already left...

The lady sighs, "You're energetic, so I guessed that you like partying during the evening." She shrugs her shoulders. Joker nods his head with a smile, "Right!"

Dagger calmed down also.

The lady lift a finger, "Then how about this? Since I my guesses weren't detailed, how about I guess your age? I'm quite good at that!", She suggested.

The doctor chuckles, "Well, some people age differently, my lady. Let's see how you do it!", The doctor encouraged. They still treat her as a child, even after that ominous guess? Careless...

"Then go on ahead, young lady!", Joker agreed.

"Hmm... you're twenty-five years old!" She confidently answered. I smirked, of course, they treat her as a child, she's acting like one.

"Woah! That's correct! How'd you know!?"

They continued to interact, they had already forgotten about it. I look at the Earl in interest, he's willingly giving up his sister, most nobles would be strict and look down upon Lady Moriarty's dreams.

They left shortly after that, the lady was fully accepted and would start living with the circus tomorrow. It was only for a limited time though, she'd leave the circus once they leave London.

I walk back to the carriage, still thinking about those nobles. They're so suspicious to me, and Joker might have noticed it too.

"Sebastian, what took you so long?", My master complained as I enter the carriage. I smiled at him, "I've encountered interesting people today, young master."

——— • "Moriarty? I've heard of them before, their mansion burst into flames, and only the children survived," the young master said as I help him to wear his sleeping garments.

"And the oldest naturally became the Earl," I added. "Sounds familiar, doesn't it, young master?", I smirked.

He glared at me harshly, "Shut your mouth, dog."

I chuckled, "But you're also good at playing fetch, master," I teased. That seemed to anger him more as he buries himself in the bed.

"Shut your mouth and start investing those siblings, that's an order."

I obediently kneeled and bowed like the classic butlers of England, my eyes glowed red. "Yes, My Lord..."
