( Sorry everyone chap 4 got magically deleted somehow and I don't really remember the exact details of the original chap. This is a bit different so think of it as the updated version. Thanks for understanding. )
Sitting near the window Lily drank her milk and stared at Noct opposite where she sat.
'I remember I agreed on bringing 'escorts' so what the hell is with this army?!'
Noticing Lily's frowning expression Noct paused and asked with worry.
"Sister are you ok? what's wrong? do you feel tired?"
Looking at Noct's concerned face Lily replied with a smile.
"No, nothings wrong. I'm just thinking about what to buy next. If there is something you want just buy them. Mom and dad did not raise money just to let it all rot. We should, as their children, spend them however we want. You got me?"
Smiling brightly Noct nodded as if Lily's words were as good as gods.
"I got it sister."
'If she says I can spend more then I'll buy her more jewels embedded with protection magic!'
Noct excitedly chewed his dessert at the thought of buying his precious big sister jewels with protection magic.
Seeing her little brother looking all lovely chewing the dessert Lily was so overwhelmed with cuteness that she forgot to ask about the jewelry Noct demanded her to wear before leaving.
After half a day was finished there was two full carts of goods that Lily and Noct bought waiting for them outside along with her 'army' and a messenger from home.
"Butler...... go back..... important......"
The messenger reported in great detail about what the butler said to tell her. After a long while Lily reluctantly nodded.
"Haaa.... Alright I got it. You can go now."
Quickly retreating the messenger gave a respectful bow before leaving.
"Sister is the matter at home serious?" Thinking about his sister's current health Noct was worried that she would overwork herself with the business matters.
"Well, its just some bunch of papers there is no need to concern yourself with it.
Although it is a pity that we need to go back now I can't just ignore this matter."
'Sigh, my precious shopping time with my dear little brother..... sigh.'
Lily couldn't ignore the business matter or they will have no money to spend. Just thinking about their time together is about to end Lily was filled with sadness that she'd want to eat all the paperwork for the next decade.
_______________
"Welcome back master Lily, young master Noct."
The servants and the butler all greeted in unison upon their arrival. Although in Lily's previous life she did not experience such respectful greeting with the help of her 'received' memories she felt it as natural.
Walking up to Grandpa butler Lily looked as if her soul went missing.
Sensing her mood the butler couldn't help but feel sorry. It was rare that Lily acted cute like last time to get his approval on going out but only half a day was spent before she had to force herself to go back and work again.
"Sister are you hurt? you look pale!" Noct asked as he tug Lily's clothes.
"I'm alright. I'm just sad that we had to come back quickly...."
'If it weren't for that damned paperwork I should be at the stores shopping with my little brother!!'
Lily already decided that she would dote and pamper her cute little brother that she never had in her last life but things kept blocking her dreams! As if her soul has awakened she rolled her sleeves up in a very energetic manner.
"Wait till I finish them all then we can spend the whole week not to mention a day with each other! Let's get going then shall we?"
Sigh.
"Yes master." Grandpa butler shook his head and winked at little Noct.
'I'll make sure she doesn't overwork don't worry young master.'
As if reading each others mind Noct gave a thumbs up.
'I'll leave her to you grandpa butler. If something comes up please do tell me!'
Nodding in his head grandpa butler smiled.
'No problem young master.'
Within a days time words of Lily spending her remaining time with Noct spread like wildfire. There was all sorts of versions of the rumor that it became the talk of the town.
Lily who was climbing stairs sneezed so hard that she almost lost her balance.
"Are you alright? should I call a magician to levitate you?" Grandpa butler asked with concern.
"I'm alright. There is no need."
'Besides a magician just to help me walk up the stairs? I'll look like a spoiled brat if someone sees it.
Sigh, I did not know that my body is so weak that it seems like I can't finish this endless looking stairs.'
Although her master bedroom has its own working table, her study room is a much more convenient place for work.
"Right, how is my brother doing? he left immediately after eating lunch."
"Young master kept practicing swords with the knights under the first knight order. Master do you want to go and check?"
'Thinking about it, am I allowed to have private knights and magicians? being in the Era where there are king and queens shouldn't the imperial family be watching my every move?'
"There's no hurry I'll check on him later. By the way why are you all calling me master again when I was finally called miss when I woke up?."
'Strangely, Lily of this world doesn't want to be called 'master' too.
I've been having some doubts but how is it that I'm able to come here? I know for a fact that magic does exist but I've asked some of my people but all they said that traveling through space and time was impossible because the gods will not allow it.
God huh?'
Sigh.
Shaking his head the butler gave up and agreed on calling Lily miss when it's just them.
"Sigh, that was because we thought you might wake up if we called you miss, miss."
