As invited by Rosalie to the Bluet family's house at Veranda, Garrick has reordered the jobs for William to come there. The street of Veranda is located by the sea Loitonous, and it's very lovely. There're a lot of beautiful flowers. Cattleyas, violets, irises, poppies ericas,... all over the street. William then decides instead of going on the Brougham, he and Garrick will go on foot to their house, as he wants to enjoy the scenery.

" This street has so many flowers. Wonder why the Bluets live here, they're all related to flowers. ", William says to Garrick. " Yes, master. To be honest, I don't really know why do they have that tradition. But I see all they Bluet ladies are extremely beautiful just like the flower that they're named after. ", Garrick replies. " Have you met face to face with any of them before ? ", William asks he curiously. " I think I do. Maybe Lady Violet, Lady Camellia, Lady Jasmine, ... I think that you know them as well, since they're famous artists. ", Garrick replies. " Yes, I do. But I haven't meet them yet. ", William replies. 

Finally they arrived to the Bluet's mansion. It is a big mansion, but something about it makes William feels that it is like a school. Big way, a clock up high, few benches, big building, trees,...

" Welcome, Mr. Lumiere and Mr.Luotettava Jr., our family is waiting for you. ", a middle-age man, seems to be their butler, welcomes them. He leads them to the main hallway, the big main hallway. Rosalie is standing up on the stairs, looking down at them. " Well, well, little Garrick and Mr. Lumiere has arrived. Father, here are our guests. ", she says. Mr. Bluet then appears and walks down the stair along Rosalie. Mr. Bluet is an elderly man with grey hair and a mustache. He seems a little overweight but he has a warmly smile. " My honor to meet you, young Lumiere. My name is Richard James Bluet, head of the Bluet family. ", he says, " Rosalie, where are your mother and your sisters ? ". " I'll call them right now. ", Rosalie replies, as she is walking to the stairs. " Benedict, where are the teas ? ", he says. " Master, the maids are bringing it on. ", the butler, now whose name is Benedict says. " Good. Now Mr. Lumiere, since the day my youngest daughter Ivilina was born, June 7th I believe, it's your first performance right ? ", Mr.Bluet asks. " Yes, sir. It is also the first song that I made on my own. ", William replies. " Yes, I was in the hospital with my wife and our children. One of the nurse turn the radio on and I really like the song. Since that day I always hear your songs and become a great fan of you. ", he says. " My honor, sir. ", says William. " It has always come to a question that I cannot answer by your family. Your father, Alexander Lumiere, a great musician and your mother Ayame's products, the songs and the stories, now come up to you, they always share some unique vibes. They get along well I must say. My hobby is listen to you and your father's song and read your mother's books at the same time at my garden. I think that my wife share the same hobby. ", he says. As Mr. Bluet finishes his words, Rosalie brings up her sisters and Mrs.Bluet. " Well, Richard, I prefer to read his aunt Yomotsu's books. His mother did well but I still prefer her sister's work. ", says Mrs. Bluet. " William, my name is Helena Rose Devod Bluet, his wife and the mother to these girls. Nice to meet you. ", she says. Mrs. Bluet has a refined, elegant, beautiful despise her age. She wears her blonde hair, but it almost turn to grey in a bun style and she has light blue eyes. She herself created a upper-class atmosphere due to her style, clothes and beauty. She smiles warmly just like her husband. Her daughter, Lily says, as she bows before him, with a beautiful smile : " Mr. Lumiere, my name is Liliana Jane Bluet, second daughter of Richard James Bluet and Helena Rose Bluet, sister of Rosalie Olivia Bluet, Austrolebi's artist. ". He comes to her and greets her : " My honor to meet you. The name is William de Lumiere, nothing much but Austrolebi's musician. ". She giggles. " My family loves your music, very delicate, elegant and lovely. ", she says. " I wonder where are your wings, you just like an angel, extremely beautiful and elegant. ", he says. Garrick over there is laughing to tears in quiet. She smiles and giggles. " And this beauty over here, you must be Ivilina ? ", William asks the little girl. The little girl is around 8 years old. She has long wavy chocolate brown hair as long as her hip which she braids it up. She has light blue eyes, just like her sisters as they share common traits for the face. Overall she looks just like a doll. " How do you know my name ? ", she says, with a really cute and shy voice. " Oh I told him, sweetie. ", says Mr.Bluet. " Ivilina, even your father said that, I believe you should introduce yourself to him too. ", says Mrs. Bluet. " My name is Ivilina Charlotte Bluet, youngest daughter of Richard James Bluet and Helena Rose Bluet. ", she says. " Master the teas have already arrived and still don't you acknowledge that ? ", Benedict says. " Oh my goodness, we are so dump. ", says Mrs. Bluet. 

As they're talking, William asks about the mansion : " Mr.Bluet, I wonder why does the mansion looks like a school ? Did you purposely design it like that ? ". Mr. Bluet then answers : 

" Well yes, before we live here it was an art school for public founded by our ancestors. The school teaches arts like drawing, fashion designing, architectures and many other sides of art. But then my grandfather decided to live here and move the school to other part of Delphia, Leidous I believe. " 

 " But I see that it is still very beautiful " 

" Yes, sure. As it was a school before we have plenty of empty rooms. We haven't decided what to do with it much, as our family only focus on sides of art. "

" So who is the principal of the school now ? "

" My sister, Heather. She is also the art teacher of my daughters. " 

 " So the school was kind of an inter-school ? "

" Kind of it, yes. The elementary are only for extras, the secondary and the high school are official school. Ivilina is yet a secondary student so she is studying at that school over there near our house, but Rosalie and Liliana has passed and graduated at that school for top grade."

" That's wonderful. "

" Master, my bad to interrupt you during your conversation, but unfortunately it has come to the time that you have your meeting with Mr. Werlando ", says Benedict.

" Oh dear we talked so much that we didn't care about the time.",  says Mrs. Bluet " We are gonna need Rosalie, too. Well then my daughter, could you give our guests a walk around Veranda ? The sky is beautiful today, Liliana. "

" Yes, mother. " - says Liliana. 

So Liliana takes William and Garrick while holding her sister's hand out of the mansion and come to the street of Veranda. Veranda is wordlessly beautiful and lively. Its beautiful flowers and the smell of cafe just all around the streets. As it being located nearby the sea, the wind from the sea is very relaxing and it's very comfortable. Liliana takes them to a coffee shop nearby the sea and enjoys the view. The coffee shop has beautiful a view and it has many beautiful flowers. Beauty, like an angel, in a coffee shop, she is drinking a cup of hot chocolate. She says, " So... you are from Belguma... right ? ". 

" Yes. "

" How is it ? "

" A beautiful land full of fields with flowers. "

" What about the oak trees ? Oak trees only grow in Belguma right ? "

" Yes. The oak trees, they bring so much memory at Belguma. "

" I see. So you must have miss your home a lot. "

" Maybe. "

" What do you mean ? "

" I feel a little sad because I have to be far from my family. But I think I am excited because this is the first time I go to other cities, prefectures, lands... I always love adventures. "

" I see. " 

" Yes. "

" Well... since you love adventures... do you want to travel around Veranda ? I can show you around. "

" Sure. But let's ask Garrick to see if there is no busy schedule today. "

And Garrick says no, today is a free day. Liliana then decides to gets a trip around Veranda with William and Garrick. 

Veranda is located near the sea, but luckily it doesn't have much effects from the sea like storms or hurricanes. Besides, it has the easy atmosphere and winds of the seas. Loitonous, the sea, it always seems peaceful and it helped a lot with the salt productions here. " Besides from paintings and our school's normal salaries, we also produce salts. But unlike normal salts, we use normal sunlight from at that mountain, which is very hot and as the seawater goes there, it shall  be boiled up and we have salts. Very clean and naturally created. ", Liliana explains about her family's side business. " So your family is located by the sea for generations until they named the city Veranda ? ", William asks. 

" Yes. "

" And what brings so much flower here ? "

" Our family. We have the tradition to name the girls after flowers. Like Rosalie after the roses, me after the lilies, Ivilina after the ivies,... The people live here know our family as the family of flowers, and then they started to plan flowers all over the street after us. "

" Do you know your family tree well ? "

" Yes. Do you want to here some ? "

As William agrees, Liliana tells them about her family. Her ancestor, Lady Daffodil, was originally a member of the Royal family. She then married to an earl, Sir Arthur and gave birth to a daughter which her husband also named her after a flower, Antonio. Then the daughter married and also gave birth to a daughter, and once again named her after a flower. After that, generations named their daughters after a flower or a beautiful herb species. It turns out, besides from arts, the Bluet family also famous for their beauty, specially the females member. 

" Ivilina is a little special. Unlike most of us, she is named after a plant. But our father hopes that she will be beautiful and cute, forgiving, down to earth, great to be around. It seems that she granted his hopes. "

" Indeed "

The deep street of Veranda is lovely. They aren't much people here, so it always has a peaceful and easy atmosphere. There're many flowers here, and their smells are around the street. People are noticeable beautiful, as it may seem that they're distant families of the Bluet family. The streets are also able to see a small part of the castle, but it's blurry and foggy.  

" Actually beside from drawing, I also open an eatery. It's right over there. It seems that it's lunch time right ? Do you want to try some food ? "

" Yes, please. "

She takes them into her eatery. Ivilina seems to happy and excited to go in her sister's eatery. The eatery is called " Fleurinda ". It seems a medium- sized house, has a balcony, and like William's expectation, it's full of flowers. The eatery has the fragrant smell of cakes. 

" Is this a eatery or a bakery ? ", asks Garrick. 

" Both. My sister is great at both. ", says a happy Ivilina. 

" A coffee shop as well. ", Liliana says.

As they walk in, a beautiful woman welcomes them, " Welcome to Fleurinda. Whatever you want, we will have the meal perfectly cooked for you. Oh, welcome back, my lady. ".

" Thank you, Annette. ", says Liliana. 

" What brings you here, my lady ?  "

" We have these special customers. "

" Oh I recognize you. The famous musician William de Lumiere and his butler Garrick, and our little Ivilina. "

" Yes, I want to represent them our eatery as well. Let me do the guide, just do your other work. And how is our business today ? "

" As lovely as always, but I guess there'd be some girls come in. Mr. Lumiere is very famous and attractive. "

" Indeed. "

And William secretly blushes. Like her boss, Annette is a beautiful and attractive woman, but somewhat of a folk beauty, unlike Liliana who has a noble beauty. She has long wavy blond hair which reaches her waistline, she ties it back in a low ponytail. She has pale skin, green eyes and fairly tall. She wears a white dress which has sleeves that reaches her elbow and a small brunette coat. She also wear a brown beret and high heel boots. She seems sweet and welcoming, also energetic and optimistic. 

The eatery is in a medium sized house. It has the sweet smell of foods and everything seems very peaceful and quiet. It's like a new world 

" Do you want some buche de noel, or some apple strudel ? Or maybe you want some opera cake ? ", Liliana asks her guests. She seems more lively and energetic.

" Do you have something more lunch - like ? Like spaghetti or pizza ? "

" Hmm... we do have it. What do you want then ? "

" A bolognese spaghetti then. As for Garrick, he wants a margherita pizza. "

" Sure, right away. "

And then food arrive after like 5 minutes, quite fast. 

His spaghetti is decorated as if it's for the Queen, elegantly and perfectly. The smell is pretty nice too. It seems that Garrick's pizza is very delicious as well. Liliana gets herself a ordinary beefsteak and a bowl of soup for Ivilina. The way she cuts the meat, the way she eat, the way she treats others, the way she talks, everything is very delicate, and most important, so generous and kind. Liliana has always been like an angel. She is beautiful, kind, and somewhat of a smart woman and draws beautifully. William now officially likes her. 

" So, how long have you been opening this eatery ? "

" I opened it since I am 24 years old. It is nearly a year now, and actually I think I want to celebrate a birthday for it. "

" Wow, you are the same age as I do. I thought this eatery would had been more famous. You are famous at Veranda after all. "

" Yes... but I want to be peaceful at somewhere. This eatery is very comfortable and relaxing...  It is located in a small and peaceful street, and I only bring people who I really comfortable with. You see, there aren't many waiters or waitress here, only Annette and her brother Matthew, Mr. Howard and Mrs. Margaret, his wife and . They're all understanding, down to earth people. They are all in a difficult time with their economy so I hired them in, specially with Mr. Howard and Mrs. Margaret, their son has lost after war. Our customers are often kind and easygoing. Some of them are poor and live in poverty, so we often lower the bill for them. There is Mr. Gary, our common customer. He is an elder man too.   "

" Life is difficult after all, right ? "

" Indeed. Actually, I often play the violin here, along with Annette who plays the piano for Mr. Howard and Mrs. Margaret. I actually enjoys it. And we often play your music productions. "

" Really ? "

" Yes. They are very beautiful and relaxing after all. "

" If you say so, I think I will compose for this lovely eatery a song. "

" No... that's not needed. You don't need to do that. "

" You are special to me. "

" Pardon ? "

And William blushes. " WHAT IN THE WORLD DID I JUST SAY?????? Garrick... bury me somewhere please... ", William thinks in his head. Garrick is laughing like crazy, but he laughs silently. 

" I must have heard it wrong. "

" No. You brought me here as if I am a person like Annette or Matthew, or the old couple Howard and Margaret. I feel very honored. As a musician and as if you are a friend to me, I want to compose an extravaganza to you and your eatery. "

" As if ? Oh dear, William, you are a friend to me now. Just call me Lily, I prefer to be called like that by my close people. "

" All right, Lily. "

And she smiles beautifully. She also tells Garrick to call her like that, which overjoyed him. 

" Ivilina, why don't you go and play with Annette ? "

" Sure. ", a cheerful Ivilina replies. 

As she leaves, Lily says :

" The truth is, I don't really have much friend. Rosalie and all of the staffs here are my only friends, and now you two, you and Garrick. Ivilina is yet able to understand my worries, since she is still a child though. I have a lot of admirers, but I wonder if they truly care for me like a friend, or rather they have me as Liliana to raise their fame, that's why I prefer to be called as Lily. By the first time I see you two, it has developed a special feeling for you two. Like as if you two are not looking for fame, you two are friendly, outgoing, friendly and have sense of humor. And I wasn't wrong, you two are very kind and friendly. I wanted to know more about you two. Next time, will we meet each other like this again ? But with a special person, my grandma. Would you mind ? "

" Garrick ? "

And finally Garrick says. " Master, you have already done your jobs but I haven't. You have free 6 days and I still have some business with Her majesty. You and Ms. Lily can get along the day after tomorrow. ", he says. 

" How great it is. I am also free that day, too. Meet me at Veranda, and I will lead you to her house. I haven't see her a while and I miss her a lot. ", Lily says. 

" I am happy with that, too. ", William says.

" Well then that's it for today. Great to meet you, Lily. It seems that it's time for my master to get home. ", Garrick says.

" Thank you, then. Don't worry for the cash, it is free. "

" No, I will pay for it. I don't want to do that to the staffs here. ", says William. 

" Thank you... ", Lily says. 

And then the eatery's staff says goodbye at the front door to him, as he walks out.

" Hope you can come back next time, Mr. Lumiere. It's such an honor for us to have you here. ", Annette says. 

" I am sure will come back when I can. ", William replies.

He says goodbye and waves everyone. 

The people of the eatery are very nice and welcoming. William hopes greatly that he will be able to come back here soon. He is overjoyed that Lily considered him and Garrick as friends. 

" So you like Ms.Lily ? ", says Garrick. 

" Yes, I saw her in the Arrocamacian bakery and immediately I have a special feeling for her. She is like an angel. Perfectly beautiful as if there's nothing else to compare to her beauty, as kind as if she is not human anymore, as if she is a goddess who reborn and lived as a normal woman. Her voice, her actions, her movements, so delicate and it all catches my eyes. She also reminds me a lot of my beloved mother. That's why I like her so much. "

" I see. Then I think I will have your schedule more scientifically to have more time with her. You are very hard working after all, so I think it would be easy. "

" Thank you. You are so understanding. I am blessed to have you as my butler. "

" My honor, sir. "

The two man keep walking on their way to their Brougham, and travel together home.
