"Thank you my dears. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your help." Ann smiled and began emptying the box in front of her.
"After all you have done for me, if I could not help you with this task, what kind of son would I be?" Sebastian set down the small wooden chest and opened it.
"Grandmother?"Ann turned her attention to the child.
"Yes Rowan?" She replied softly.
"If you have servants, why are you cleaning the storage room?"
"Because there are objects in this very room that have a lot of sentimental value to me."
"Can I please look with you?" Rowan sat down and tilted his head curiously.
"Of course you can sweetheart." Ann held up a leather ball and showed it to her grandson.
"This was your father's, he got into quite a bit of trouble with this when he was small."
Rowan's mouth dropped open in shock.
"You were small?" He asked Sebastian.
"A very long time ago, I grew up just as you are now." He explained.
"Do you have a mum and dad too?" Rowan moved closer.
"Yes, your grandmother is my mother."
"do you have brothers and sisters?"
"Rowan, your uncle Mordred is my brother, though I may very well deny it to the public.-"
"Sebastian!" Ann said warningly.
"I am sorry mother, but after all that has happened, I am deeply, very deeply I should say, ashamed to call him a relative of any sort. Your aunt Beth is my sister."
"Mommy, mommy look at me!" Rachel shouted from behind. Ciel turned to find his daughter beside an empty box.
"Are you looking mommy?"
"Yes Rachel, I see you." Ciel called back. The young demon stepped into the box and giggled.
"Rachel in the box-' she leapt from the box grinning.
"Rachel out of the box!" She laughed, her brothers joined in.
Ciel wasn't sure what to think of her new game.
"She gets that from her father." Ann whispered in his ears. Ciel smiled.
"What was that Mother?"
"Nothing son, I was just speaking to Ciel." Sebastian sighed.
"About me surely." He mumbled before going back to work.
"Can I please play with Daddy's toys Grandmother?" Rachel asked sweetly.
"Yes, how could I possibly say no to such a sweet child." Rachel hugged her Grandmother.
"Thank you, I will be very careful with them I promise." She said before skipping over to a clear spot on the floor and pulling out the ancient toys.
"Grandmother, what is it, it is very pretty." Evian said pointing to an antique mirror hanging on the wall, its elegant wooden frame showed signs of aging and the glass was covered in a thick sheet of dust.
"That Evian, is a special mirror, You ask it to show you something and it will. It belonged to my mother." Ann explained.
"Will you show us please?" Vincent asked.
"Well, I'm not sure if it still works or not, We can try it when we're finished here i suppose."
"Yay!" The children shouted.
"Sebastian, would you mind asking Tani to clean it up for us?" Sebastian stood up and carefully removed it from the wall.
"Certainly mother, I shall return shortly." He said exiting the room.
"Can we ask it what I will be when I get big?" Rowan asked.
"you could, whatever you choose to ask, think about it carefully because sometimes the answers are not what you hope for."
