A/N: A little warning about this chapter. Some of you might be confused because the scene from the anime and manga are different in this part so I used the manga scene where Lady Moriarty is present. Warning for the blood and murder in this chapter.
Btw, I made another art of young Elise. (*^▽^*)
Happy Reading!!
---------------------------------------
Elise and Louis worked together in finishing on putting a small amount of water on every candle plates in the hallways as instructed by the genius blonde.
"Ah, he really is not here, like what nii-sama said." Elise looked at the room where her older brother William is supposed to be sleeping. "Mother, as well. She was not in her room with father."
"Elise-sama, are you...regretting this?" Louis asked her worriedly. Over the year he and his brother stayed in the estate, he had grown to see and care for her as a little sister. Seeing her participate in something that might be as well be called a crime, he was worried that she might be forcing herself and his older brother told him that if she's regretting her actions, she can stop anytime.
She shook her head and exhaled "Following my older brothers' path is something I don't regret. You, nii-sama and Albert-nii-sama are more of a family to me than my blood-related family. If so...my only regret is that, I was born in this cruel family."
"Elise-sama, nii-san and I are happy that you think of us that way." Louis smiled sheepishly.
"Louise-nii-sama, I always think of you two as a family ever since we first met each other." She smiled back and grabbed his hand. "Let's go back to nii-sama now that we finished our part."
"Yeah."

Inside the small room in the servant's quarters, two silhouettes were attempting to open the drawer carefully without a sound. The smaller figure checked the insides of the drawer before placing something inside.
"Here is fine, right?"
"Let's hurry."
The blonde genius stood by the doorway and spoke. "Did you need something? Madam and William-sama."
The second son clicked his tongue in annoyance when he caught them red-handed while the woman did not expect him to be there since they were forced to work past the usual working hours of the other servants.
He saw the fork peeking behind William as he attempted to hide it behind his back. He smiled in cold amusement "Ah, I see. I remember telling you this afternoon. "I won't be stealing anything.""
"Heh." William sneered at him. "Whatever you say doesn't mean a thing. What's important is that the silverwares are in your desk! We'll testify that you were caught stealing a noble's silverware!"
How ridiculous.
Lady Moriarty started accusing the blonde boy. "You're deceiving Albert and you're trying to take over this house, isn't that right?! Your presence itself is affecting Elise as well! As if I would let you do such a thing! Hurry up and leave!"
Grabbing a chair next to them, William smashed it in front of him to show the peasant his place. "Yeah! Get out! As long as we have the nobility's power, making you into criminals is nothing! If you don't leave this instant, I'll drag you in front of the Scotland Yard!"
"Then do it."
A new voice spoke and this time, it was Albert, and behind him was the youngest daughter of the Moriarty, Elise. The look on the young lord's hardened when he saw what his family was attempting while the girl glanced away in shame when they stooped this low to even frame the blonde siblings of thievery.
