A/N: I'm so, so sorry for not updating for like, more than 10 days.
I just had the biggest writer's block ever experienced and the stress doesn't help at all with thinking.
I already have the flow of the story laid out and the only thing needed to be done is to write the chapter and... let's just say I have trouble expressing lately in words and poured my time in drawing as a means to vent out. Gomene... I hope you understand.
Happy reading!!
-------------------------
Albert's face was grim as he called everyone over to the study room one rainy night in their Moriarty Manor in London.
"I've always wondered if this day would ever come...." The elder Moriarty pondered while staring outside the window. "I'm sure that some of you have already heard about this."
Thunder flashed outside when Albert glanced back at them with a serious face. "This situation has become extremely worrisome... This is the first of its kind of crisis that the Moriarty family has had to face...!"
And in that instant, lighting struck the tree outside, its bright light gave emphasis on the serious faces of everyone in the room. The air was tense as dread crawled up to their spines, but they had no choice but to face it, like what Albert said.
"Let's work together in order to build strength..." He clenched his fist with his eyes burning with seriousness. "We'll overcome this situation, no matter the cost...!"
Moran, Jack and Fred gathered around and placed their hands in the middle, and even Louis followed suit.
"Is everyone ready?!"
"All for one! One for all!!"
"Let's go!!"
Just then, Bond entered the room in the middle of it all. "Sorry, I was late – The hell...?!"
His surprise (and disbelief) was answered after they explained the situation to him. Fortunately, the thunder outside seems to have ceased, except for the rain.
"Tea party...?"
"That's right, Bond." Albert nodded in affirmation. "As you now, tea parties are held by different families on rotational basis."
Elise recalled her own experiences when she attended these occasions. "Tea parties are held during the day and are different from nighttime parties where information is exchanged in some extent. The main purpose of this party is to "please" the ladies, I believe so..."
"I've done a good job at holding off on hosting a party at our manor so far..." He adds with a sigh. "But the other day, Count Rockwell finally called out to me... I was reluctant, but it was decided that we would hold a tea party at our manor this weekend."
"Apparently, we've been avoiding the topic about hosting a party for too long..." She leaned on her hand and recalled her previous interactions with other nobles before letting out a sigh. "Not to mention, the ladies kept asking me when we are holding one and the requests just keeps on increasing..."
Seeing the two siblings sigh in synch, they couldn't help but think how they express their lamentations with the situation forced upon them so alike to each other.
"Acting as Albert's manservant... I can't say that I don't hate it from the bottom of my heart..." Moran broke a sweat at what their roles are going to be.
"It will be held this Sunday..." William says as he checked the paper. "We don't have any time to spare."
"Preparations are normally easy but since this is our family talking about... I'm afraid we have to do more effort than others..." Elise adds as she looks at the paper on the blonde's hand.
