The trip went smoothly, it was almost scary how they never once faced a problem.

After reaching Denmark, they paid a small country farmer to take them to the countryside where they settled in a small village.

With the money left they started a small inn in a village near the station, the town was small but travelers settled there often and lack of accommodations gave them an opportunity. They bought and slowly renovated a small inn near the station.

To the village they were foreign sisters who seemed to love each other a lot.

But behind closed doors they held each other above life itself.

...

During the first few weeks, Arthur was on edge, he yelled and threw tantrums over tantrums.

How could you?

How fucking could you?

He gave you all of his love, a house and a comfortable life, all you had to do was stay with him, was that so fuckinhg hard?!

Was asking for love too much?!

Instead you go and tarnish his reputation and cripple him?!

Arthur was livid, he sent men to track you, tried his best to follow any clue he could find but it seemed as though you had just disappeared, as if you never existed in the first place.

He was starting to lose his composure, he was never a calm man, he'd rather torture his victims slowly but now, now all hell went loose. Torture, beatings, starvation, mental torture, nothing was off teh table.

Every time he was to deal with someone he would imagine that maid in their place.

It got to the point her majesty queen Victoria had to intervene, she prevented Arthur from searching for _____ any longer.

She had tolerated Arthurs 'questionable' preferences for a while now, but as someone who valued love, she could not bear to see such a sight. She stopped the man right there and then.

After this Arthur buried himself in work, people didn't even remember what he looked like from how long he had disappeared from society.

Whatever happened in the Kirkland manor from that day forward, stayed in the Kirkland manor.

Though unfortunately he passed through history only as a detective who ended up falling for an unrequited love, far from the truth really.
