Inside the library, Levi is reading a part of the book to Quinn when Madison entered the room .
"You guys won't go to bed yet?" Madison asked them .
"Nah . Am doing a bedtime story as you can see," Levi's looked up and wink at Madison . It sounded teasingly, with this it made Quinn twitch his brows upward . Madison giggles then sit beside Levi .
"Then better to do it in the bedroom, is it?"
Levi glanced at Quinn with a smirking face . He scowls at the couple then rolled his eyes . It's not his fault if he can't touch the book . If only he could, he won't need someone to read him a few chapters a day like a small kid .
"How was Cassie?" Levi asked Madison afterward .
Madison rested her head on Levi's shoulder, then replied, "She's now sleeping after the talk . She mentioned attending Miss Loura's class every weekend, and she said, she seems familiar with Papa visiting Mr . Larry's school these passing years she lives in Paris . "
"Hmm . . . the Quinn of that lifetime . One of the fateful events in their lives . Strange they never cross paths," Levi commented, his eyes stay on the book but arms put around his arms around her shoulder .
"That book? Which chapter you are guys reading?" asked Madison, then borrowed the book from Levi and flip the pages .
The book is about the past . She re-read that chapter and imagined the scene inside her head .
"Madison!" Levi screamed when the book fell on the floor, and she fell slowly on Levi's lap as she lost consciousness .
Quinn sat up from the couch and quickly came near them . "Madison! What's going on?"
"Maybe she time travel, brother Quinn!" Levi assumes . He and Quinn met gazes .
"Come, put her on the carpet," Quinn ordered Levi, then he runs toward the door . "Butler Leroy! Informed Butler Pete, we have to travel time, watch after Cassandra!" His request then went back inside .
He saw Levi already lost consciousness beside Madison, holding her hand . He also lay beside Madison and took her hand, with this, his consciousness dragged somewhere .
Butler Leroy and Butler Pete entered the room . Bringing a blanket, Pete covered his master's body, including Madison and Quinn . As for butler Leroy, he makes sure that the heat of the room is enough to warm them up . He adds more woods on the fire . He looked outside the window and rain continues pouring down .
"I will guard Miss Young's bedroom . She might suddenly be woken up by the heavy rain," Leroy told the other butler . Pete nodded while dialing his phone to call certain people to make a report .
In the hallway trailing toward Cassie's room, butler Leroy called Chairman Nicholas to give his report of the events . He sighed . Since his young Master Quinn born into this world, he already knew that strange things will happen . What he did not foresee is how depressing and complicated it will be .
As the days pass, things get complicated between his master and the Miss . However, being one of the Watchers; all they have to do is sit and watch .

Quinn opens his eyes . Which time did they travel? He hopes it's not the time before . But to his disappointment, they travel back to the 18th Century .
Why have they traveled here again? He asked himself . Why they can't connect to the time, where Cassandra now?
"Papa?"
He turned around, and he saw Madison walking towards him . "Madison, I am glad you are fine . Where is Levi?" he asked .
"He went to get us clothes . "
"Oh, I see . . . " he keeps silent . They were hiding in a hut . And he could remember this place . Carlisle and Marivella spend a night here . Probably not only one night, and no one knows but only them .
"Papa, are you okay?"
"Yes, I am . " He nodded . "How about you? Are you feeling all right?" he returned the question .
"I'm okay, Papa . Don't worry about me . " She smiled but studied Quinn's feature . Dark circles and tired eyes . He looks frustrated but keeps his calm . She strides closer to him and gives Quinn a warm embrace .
"Madison?"
"We will see her one day," she began crying .
"Shush . . . don't blame yourself, okay?" he comforted her despair .
"But I wished I could bring you to the time, where is Mama right now . "
"But she is here . "
Madison let go of him, then lookup . Quinn wipes the tears in her eyes .
"Now to think about it . You will get to see your mama before she will give birth to you . "
Madison's eyes sparks . That's right! Her first life sounded sad . She grew up without a mother . If she's not reincarnated, for the second time, she won't have an experience having parents in the form of Allison and Marco . And she never regretted that they who became her parents . Plus, she also meets her first parents from her past life .
She has more parents to call, and this she never anticipates she could have .
"Why we're brought back here? Can you tell me what chapter of the book we are now?"
"I can't tell, yet Papa . I'm sorry . I don't know how to use this ability properly . "
"It's okay . Don't think about it . Since we're here already, we better keep our presence low . "
Not long after, Levi came back with clothes from this century . They get change their clothes and blended with the crowd . Levi also found fake beards they put under their nose . Quinn hesitant at first, but they need to disguise as much to avoid people of mistaken them as Carlisle and Charles .

Royal Military Base, Paris
"Captain Carlisle Williams and Captain Klein Williams . I've been waiting for the both of you," Major Alexandre Berger began .
"The second Prince of Korea is visiting France . I want to ensure his safety while he is in the country . Captain Carlisle, your voyage toward the New Found Land will have to delay . "
"I understood, Major Berger, sir!" Carlisle replied .
"However, as for you Captain Klein Williams . You have to go back immediately to bring supplies for our soldiers . "
"Copy, Major Berger," Klein responded .
"Captain Carlisle, assemble your soldiers and prepared them for the Prince's arrival . "
"Copy, Major Berger!"
"All right, you can leave now . "
"Thank you, sir!"
The Williams twin stepped out of the office . Everyone that they passed intimidates by their presence, and as of the women, they were trying their best to notice .
"The aristocrats are coming to Paris," Klein who first broke the silence .
"Hah . . . "
"Including your fiancée . "
Carlisle pressing his lips and say no words . The gatherings will be attended by Royal families . Including the Dukes and Lords of many nations . Who is this Prince of Joseon? Carlisle was pondering things when Klein tapping his shoulder .
"It seems, the elders counting on you, and so, do nothing that will ruin our family's reputation . " Klein's meaningful words .
Carlisle clenches his palm and darkened his expression . He hasn't seen Marivella again, after that night . He woke up alone in the hut, and she's not showing up anymore . And it's been a month now . He is worried if something happens to her .
'Do nothing? Hah!' Even he wanted to run away, but how he should do that? When Marivella turned him down?
Marivella broke up with him . Although they were barely like a couple, their relationship exposed and his family against it because of Marivella's family status .
He wanted to elope with her . He is ready to give up everything, but she's afraid that his family will turn to her family, and they would suffer because of her . And so, Marivella turned her back on him .
Carlisle is walking the street absent-minded . His foot brought him to the place that he and Marivella often met . He comes here almost every day but been a month since Marivella did not visit the grave . Carlisle turned around to leave . . . then, his heart thumping happily .
"Marivella!"
It also surprised her upon seeing him in the graveyard . Marivella bows at him as a respect, but then she walked past him . Carlisle tempted to follow her, but he doesn't want to bother her visit to her deceased older sister . And so, he just suits himself waiting outside the graveyard Arc as an entrance gate of the Cemetery .
Not long after, Marivella finished her visit and walking with a hasty, ignoring him . Quietly, Carlisle follows her . He just followed behind and suppress himself by holding her inside his arms . It's been a month and so, he misses her .
They were trailing the riverside . Sadly, the beautiful sunset does not harmonize with the moods . There were no more wonderful moments; watching together like before .
Carlisle halted his steps as Marivella stops walking . A minute had passed before he strode closer at her then throw his arms around her . She's crying . And so he tightens his embrace and buried his face on her shoulder blade .
Watching from the distance, Madison crying inside Levi's arms . She's feeling too much despair . For 300 years, their love never has a happy ending yet . There is always a wall that keeps separating them . Until at the present, all they have is like a secret affair .
She was aware, that every time Cassandra came back to their present life, she and Quinn spend the night intimately . But then, she will disappear again .
What they should do, so they finally have the fulfillment of their love?
