----------------------After 2 hours----------------------

The same carriage stopped in front of the shelter and there she was

Lee, my sister ran out of the carriage dressed so beautifully. Behind her was the guy that came earlier and,

'Isn't that the duke and his son!'

Lee came up to the window to look inside, I went to the door and opened it slowly.

Lee's back was turned to me as she talked with them. I closed the door and started walking towards them. They saw me but didn't say anything Lee hugged the duke and then his son.

"The name 'Lee' will stay in this house and warm the children here."

Saying such sweet things is so much like that flatterer butler.

"You said well, Zion," Duke laughed.

his son said then said

"Oh, I was looking for a kid named Walter. I sent someone to ask the children and they said they left town some time ago."

"...I see,"

"Would you like to find him?"

She shook her head.

"Walter is a kid who will do well anywhere,"

I smiled as I looked a Lee who said just what I was thinking. I lifted my head and made eye contact with the duke.

He smiled at me, then turned his head and looked at Lee,

"We found your sister, honey"

"REALLY!! Where is she?!"

It took them all by surprise when Lee shouted. I couldn't help but giggle at the dumbfounded look on their faces.

'It seems like she never shouted at them before

*insert very cute giggling noise*

"Lili *hehe* you shouldn't shout like that in the middle of the street.*hehe*...*huuu*"

Lee quickly turned around and saw me walking towards them, I had a soft smile on my face as I approached her. I halted for a moment when I saw tears in her eyes threatening to fall. I quickly ran to her and cupped her cheeks. And started panicking

"Hey, hey, hey. Lee, Lili, Sis, Angle don't cry. I am sorry I didn't come back on time as promised. Sorry I missed your birthday"

I hugged her and patted her back and head. She then broke the hug, holding my hand tightly she pouted and said with a glare

"OUR BIRTHDAY."

I chuckled this time

'My sister is so cute '

"Right, our birthday... I am sorry I missed it."

She looked at me suspiciously, then turned to the duke and said,

"Dad, can Seli come home with us?"

"If that's what honey then sure."

Lee grabbed my hand and pulled me inside the carriage. She sat me beside her as the duke and young master took their seats.

the carriage started moving and Lee pulled me in a tight hug, She whispered to me.

"'Something happened ?"

She sounded half certain this caused me to flinch a little, it didn't escape anybody's eye.

"There was a lot of work so I missed our birthday, Sorry."

I said as I tried to get out of her hug, but she just held me tighter.

"I am not talking about that. Something happened before you came here right."

I grew silent, last night memories that I tried to bury in my mind, started to surface themselves once again, as Lee said. My body was shaking as I tried to bury myself in Lee's hug.

Leticia understood that I couldn't talk and just said lighthearted,

"We Will talk about this later, you know that even if you don't want to talk about things I can still figure it out." 

I didn't have any energy left, I felt safe when Leticia held me. My mind was at ease, my body relaxed and I fell asleep.

I woke up, feeling someone stare at me. Still half awake a question reached my ear. 

{[Authors note: being half awake often causes people to be truthful,the state which i am talking about is when the conscious has not woken up , but your subconscious is wake]}

"How old are you?"

"nin"

"Are you Lee's sister?"

"Ys"

"Who did you work for?"

"maid..  De dat"

"Why did you flinch when honey asked you a question?"

This question jolted Sel awake but being sleepy she automatically answered, but tears were falling from her eyes.

"he touched me."

She tried to cover her mouth with her hands but was unable to, she could see the duke holding the wrist of both of her hands. She looked up her hands and looked at the duke. The duke's face showed nothing, but his eyes were glowing. 

"Who?"  He asked in a very low voice.

It sent shivers down my spine, I was scared but remembering how Liticia smiled at him and called him dad. the fear subsided.

"Hazel De dat-"

I collapsed AGAIN!
