A/N: I'm planning on creating a new book about my OCs in all anime and manga fandoms I read. And maybe...add a character sketch if I have time the time hahaha... I'm pretty sure I can't publish most of them as separate books since I have my hands full with lots of stuff.

Oh well, I want to hear your thoughts about this. 〒▽〒

I don't own the pics except for my art.

Happy Reading!!

-----------------------------------------

"I'm home." William said as soon as he arrived in their manor. "Forgive me for being late. I surprisingly got lost on my way here."

Louis was the first person to greet him as he was finishing with their cleaning at the entrance.

"Welcome back, nii-san. It's all right. We were almost done with the cleaning and arrangements." The younger man replied as he sets the remaining books on a table. "It's surprising that you lost your way even though Elise made a map for you."

"Well, I have to admit that she made quite a map for me to use." He chuckled in amusement as he looked at the very detailed map on his hand. "By the way, where's Elise?"

"She's in the kitchen double checking the pantry if the ingredients are complete. She also went ahead and prepared the tea leaves for your arrival. I'll be helping her afterwards." Louis replied with a smile. "She was happy to hear you coming here, nii-san."

As soon as he finished his statement, Elise stepped out of the dining room. Upon seeing that William has arrived, she beamed and approached him in an almost excited manner.

"Ara, William-nii-sama, welcome back." She smiled at him and bowed. "I am glad you found the place."

"Yes. Though please don't put too much detail in the map next time, all right?" He told her as he placed his hand on her cheek.

She smiled sheepishly as she leaned on his touch. "I understand. I apologize for the trouble it caused you."

"My lovely little sister would never cause me trouble at all."

And that, is something he cannot lie about. He finds her small mistakes quite endearing, and it made her more human than what commoner and nobles alike would describe her as a perfect deity without flaw.

His eyes landed on the camellia hair ornament tucked on her hair. "It seems that you still have this, Elise."

He caressed the flower gently, his fingers brushing lightly on the white petal cloth of the ornament as he smiled. The young woman giggled as she touched the ornament on her hair.

"Of course, nii-sama. This ornament was your gift to me before you departed to university and I carefully treasured it."

Louis stifled a laugh. "Elise always has it on her hair, even if we are inside the house. She says that it felt like nii-san is with us when she's wearing it."

An embarrassed smile grew on her lips when the younger blonde exposed her in a teasing manner. William couldn't help but smile fondly to the young lady in front of him.

Elise took off his coat and hat and hung them on the coat rack next to the stairway "How was the walk to here, onii-sama? Was it pleasant?"

William recalled his encounter with a fruit vendor and a married woman on his way to the mansion. It was, for him, an interesting encounter which piques his interest.

"Yes." He replied with a smile. "I heard that you prepared tea leaves for my arrival. Shall we go and take a rest for the day?"

The tea leaves she prepared where a mixture of the ones they brought from their former home and ones from the market Louis bought earlier. The younger blonde prepared the tea while she prepared a small entremets to go with it.
