I had only been to the order once, but it was enough for me. I was going to stay here with my daughter and husband as long as they were both welcome. So far, central didn't know I was here and didn't know I was the wife of a Noah and that I had a daughter that was half Noah. She may have been given the strand of original Noah gene, but she would never be a full Noah. It would have been a curse but she was still compatible with the innocence.

"My love?" Tyki asked. I looked up at him and sighed.

"Love, are you alright?" He asked me.

"I was just thinking." I replied.

"Rose will be just fine." He soothed, caressing my cheek.

"I know." I replied.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"Did you see the scar on Rose's shoulder?" I asked him.

"Yes." He replied.

"Our daughter has been through so much and we haven't been there for her." I sighed.

"She is a strong and beautiful young woman. Just like you." He replied. I smiled and kissed him lightly. He held me closer to him and kissed me back. I pulled away and looked into his eyes, Rose's were almost exactly like his. The only difference was that her's were confused and slightly depressed.

"Rose has your eyes." I smiled.

"She has your smile." He told me, a bright smile on his face.

"I have you." I smiled in return. He chuckled a little bit and his eyes took on a slightly yellow color. He was a Noah, but I didn't care. I loved him enough to run away to be with him, and he loved me enough to turn on the Millennium Earl and join the order.

"It is going to be hard convincing central where your loyalties lie." I whispered.

"I know, but as long as I'm with you, I don't care." He whispered back, his breath tickling my ear. I giggled and saw his smile. I could never be sad around him, ever.

The beginning of train ride was filled with the sound of Daisya's charity bell and Tiedoll sketching on his art pad. I leaned against Kanda with Ko'lae in my lap and Unmei curled up on Ko'lae's back during the train ride. I didn't care what anyone thought, and I guess Kanda didn't either because he put his arm around me and held me close to him during that time too.

"You two have gotten close." Tiedoll smiled.

"Yes we have." Kanda and I replied together.

"Florence is the place that you masqueraded as a noble at isn't it?" Tiedoll asked me.

"Yes it is." I replied.

"She is an amazing actor." Kanda said.

"She pulled off that lie for several months." Daisya explained.

"It wasn't hard. Noble's normally have the same schedule daily." I replied.

"What did you tell them what you did that day?" Daisya asked me.

"Which day?" I asked.

"The day we were thrown out of the noble's home." Kanda clarified. I chuckled slightly at the memory.

"I told them that Cross, Allen, Daisya, and yourself were trying to kidnap me and would kill them if I didn't go with you. Something off the top of my head really." I explained.
