Chapter 4: Zeroing on my target

Their carriage slowed down as they entered the capital. Serena woke up hearing the noise coming from outside. She slowly detracted herself from Leonard as she shyly glanced at him. Leonard, with his arm free immediately crossed them in front of his chest and closed his eyes to avoid any awkwardness. Serena wanted to speak, but....

'what if I have bad breath? I just woke up...' Serena thought as she opened her silk purse. She took a small tin can containing peppermint rock candies and ate one. 'hmm... certainly I'm not the only one with stale saliva. Perhaps I should feed him one...' Stopping herself from grinning because of her naughty thoughts, she held one candy with her fingers daintily and hovered it in front of Leonard's face.

"Brother Leonard... Say ah......" She said flirtatiously.

Leonard, very much surprised with his sister's sweet as sugar voice opened his eyes with shock. 'What the...' his back hit against the wall in alarm as Serena tried to feed him the candy.

Serena being persistent forcefully fed the candy to Leonard. With the candy being pushed to his lips, he had no choice but to open his mouth.

"for fresh breath" Serena said as she grinned at him. 'Look at that adorable, shocked face, and when he opened his mouth....'

"Serena, please don't do that again." Not being satisfied with ending it with that, he continued. "You need to observe proper propriety, specially between opposite genders, and..."

"I only did that because you're my brother...don't you like me being sweet?" Serena replied slyly as she gave him a close-lipped smile, trying to act cutely.

"It's not that..." Leonard frowned.

"then I guess it's alright." Changing the topic, she pushed the curtain to look at the streets of the capital. In her past life, she has travelled almost all the famous tourist sites in the world, but she still finds the streets of London as one of the most charming.

It seems like they were in Bond street, or whatever the street is called in this fantasy world. Serena saw shops selling different merchandise through their large glass windows, while herds of strolling shoppers occupied the streets.

Leonard looked at his pocket watch, seeing at it is almost noon he asked "Let's take a break. What do you want for lunch?"

"You?"

Leonard raised an eyebrow.

"I mean, what do you recommend? You've been staying here for awhile. I bet you have a favorite restaurant here somewhere?"

"Okay" Leonard replied, then he opened a wooden window to tell the driver to make a stop.

The driver stopped in front of a seemingly upscale restaurant. Leonard went out first then offered his hand to help Serena get off the carriage. Then, he instructed the coachmen of the other two carriage to go ahead of them.

"Why not ask them to join us for lunch?"

"I asked them to leave first, so that when we arrive at the school's boarding house, your room will already be prepared."

"oh..." Serena replied, noting how considerate this brother of hers is.

There were two uniformed men who opened the doors of the restaurant for them. Upon entering, a receptionist welcomed them with a bow.

"Welcome Lord Maxwell, it is our pleasure to have you here with us today."

"Please rise."

The receptionist rose and asked them to follow him.
