Place: British Museum, London

I arrived at the British Museum in time, with Wolf Murray and my little sister, Mary. Astor messaged me that he's on his way, due to some office works in their headquarters. Luckily, there aren't too much people outside. I kinda hate mingling with other people....unless, that is, if Professor Lockhart invited lots of people from the inside.

I also kinda left my Aide, Hailie in Kensington Palace, because.... you know, what girls do before they attend. I finally got rid of what happened a while ago about the "restroom incident". I really don't want to waste time about those things.

" Shall we get inside now, Scotty?" Wolf asked me as he calls me in my nickname

As we make our way in, I noticed some recognizable people in the museum. My friends, classmates, batch mates, seniors who knew Professor, and our teachers who were invited in the Exposition.

There are also some unknown people who are also here, maybe some aristocrats, officials, and, of course, some people who participated in this Exposition.

" Do you think the person who made the painting could be here, older brother?" Mary whispered as we were walking

" I think so. Keep an eye out of the people who made the paintings later on, if you want to know who that person is." I was looking suspiciously from the left to right as I mumbled at my younger sister

As we were mingling through the crowds, I can see Professor Lockhart with some of the participants of the Exposition. He seems happy that he had invited them... or maybe not.

" Hey, older brother. I think I should go first with the Professor. So, that you can freely move with your friend, okay?" Mary looks at me excitedly as her voice was quite like a child

" Okay, fine. Just make sure you're inside where I can see you, okay?"

" Okay...." She left me as quick as she can just before I can speak

" Hey, Scotty, I may need to go somewhere first, okay?" Wolf told me as soon as my younger sister scrammed

" Fine, knock yourself out." I gave off a huge sigh, filled with despair

Now, Wolf and my younger sister left, leaving me at the table. Few minutes later, I was looking here and there, they weren't here yet. I maybe thinking they couldn't-

" There you are, your Highness."

I looked at the back and saw someone whom I can't recognize. Who is she? She's wearing an elegant dress that maybe.... just maybe, stands out from the crowd in here.

I looked at her face curiously... and now I can remember her. At first, I didn't recognize her, but I didn't thought about this happening before. Hailie.
