As I walked through the crammed streets, I saw crowds of pedestrians, shoppers and others that could be seen walking along the pavements outside the shops or trying to cross the road. I closed my eyes and felt the warm sunlight on my face. As soon as I continued walking, I heard a voice call out for me from behind. 

"y/n!" he said while smiling brightly 

"Tewkesbury, how are you?" I said replicating his expression 

"I thought you came to see me, but you were walking further down the lane."  he said with a small frown on his face 

"I got carried away" I explained while smiling timidly, he chuckled as he held my hand.

"you look like a nincompoop you were born to be" I said referring to his outfit. He smiled slightly as he looked at the sky, the sun illuminating his face

"no, you look good" I said as I looked at his eyes 

"the vote is in an hour. its, um.. quite the thing" he said 

"I'm not supposed to bow or anything, am I, now that you are whatever you are?" I asked genuinely confused.

"Well, arguably you always had to bow, you just...chose not to" he said while smiling sweetly at me

"Enola said she is fine. She found a new lodging with the money your mom gave her as a reward" 

"oh, that's nice. how are you?" he asked. 

"I uhh... i'm fine. I'm going to live with my godmother from now." 

"what about your other 'parents'...?" he asked curiously 

"I talked to them recently, they are giving my parent's money back and I can meet my brothers anytime I want" I said smiling as I told the last part. 

"that's a relief, so..when can I meet you? he asked unsure of the question 

"You are not rid of me yet, Viscount Tewkesbury Marquess of Basilwether" I said lightly while chuckling. He took my hand tenderly and kissed it. 

"so lets meet today in my tree house?" he asked hopefully 

"sure" I said cheerfully and turned to leave. the bustling of the streets gave a odd sense of comfort as I made my way to the tea shop.  

Timeskip

"Hi" I said as I entered the tea shop 

"hello, dear" Edith said looking relieved 

"I have something to tell  you" she said her tone happier than usual 

"ok.." I said intently looking at her 

"your parents had bought a mansion before they died, and now its in your name" she said looking at me for a reaction 

"oh!, do you think my parents items will be there?" I asked hopefully 

"yes, I believe so" she said smiling while handing me a note, which had the address of the mansion. 

"I'm going there now" I said while standing up 

"only after breakfast" she said as she made her way to the kitchen. 

 Now, I see why my mother made her my god parent. I looked outside and saw many people busy with their own life, this time I didn't feel left out. I felt belonged and loved. I finally had a family. My thoughts were distracted as I heard Edith place an apple pie and tea on my table. 

"what are you going do now?" she asked as she took a seat in front of me. 

"I need to complete some things" I said as I clutched the note in my hand
