Pardon the wait, I just graduated and there was a lot of stuff to go along with it. So here's the final chapter. :) I recommend that you don't translate any Italian in this chapter either...

The money that they talk about can be read like this:

1d=1$

1s=10$

1 livre=100$

One Year Later

"Check."

"Che cazzo!"

A wealthy Italian nobleman was playing chess in the parlor with a young French novelist. Currently, he was losing.

"Watch your temper sir." His butler, Alfredo, called from the kitchen.

The man rolled his eyes and made his move. "Your turn."

"Checkmate."

"Porca troia!" The man threw up his arms and leaned back in his seat. "That's eighteen bloody games in a row!"

"Are you going to demand a rematch? Or are you going to challenge Koriandre to the game?"

The angel looked over from her seat between the two. "I would not recommend it. No one has beaten me yet. Not even Raven."

The man sighed. "I think I'll just wait until the jester comes home to gain my confidence back."

The girls chuckled.

"Dinner is prepared Master Bruno." Alfredo came in and bowed.

"Thank you Alfredo," Bruno smiled.

Halfway through dinner, the front door opened and a loud, "we're home!" echoed through the house.

Kori was the first one out of her chair, knocking it over in the process. She bolted into the room and ran to her husband. "Richarde!" She bowled him over.

"I missed you too." He said with a chuckle. The rest of the family came into the room. "Welcome home." Raven smirked.

"Baby! Darling! It's been three days! Let me kiss you!" Gar reached for her.

She held up a hand. "No way, who knows where that mouth has been?"

Victor nudged Richarde. "I sense another wedding soon."

At the word 'wedding' Kori grew sentimental. Living in a church, she had witnessed and rang the bells for multiple weddings, but she never imagined having one of her own. Not until she met Richarde at least. The ceremony was conducted at dusk, when the sky was painted a vibrant red. Richarde wore a suit that Bruno had gotten made for him. Kori wore a simple white dress, one that almost touched the floor. Blue ribbon laced the neckline and tied her hair back.

Victor was allowed to conduct the ceremony, despite his recently revoked status. Raven acted as maid of honor, and Garfield as best man.

As per tradition, the announcement of marriage was posted on the church door to notify the town if anyone would object. Richarde and Kori both expected the ceremony to be private, not having close contact to many in the city. To their surprise, the church was full, with the rest of Paris waiting outside.

A rumor spoke of Slaed watching from the balcony. A genuine smile on his face.

"So how was the trip?" Bruno brought the angel out of her reverie.

"Oh, Venice was beautiful. You were right about the master craftsmanship. Those woodworkers know their stuff."

"So did you get it?"

"That and more, come out and look!" Garfield cheered.

The group headed out the door to find a double sized carriage sitting in the drive. It was ornate with 'The Titans' painted on the side. Two horses hooked up to the front to pull it.

"Oh my...goodness..." Kori went speechless.

"I thought we agreed on a simple carriage." Raven raised an eyebrow.

"We did, but those Italians can be so persuasive..."

She sighed. "This is why I should have come along, as manager; I could have been beneficial to financial decisions."

"Too late now! You gotta check this thing out!" Gar jumped and went to the door. "It's so awesome! And there's a ton of room!"

Resigned, the girls entered their new home. The coach was divided into three different segments by curtains. One large hammock was on the far wall, a small one in the corner, and two stacked hammocks on another wall.

"The big one is ours," Richarde told Kori. "The one in the corner is Raven's and the two over there are Victor's and Gar's."

"Nice set up." Raven acknowledged, looking out the window. "So...'The Titans' huh?"

"The Titans are from Greek mythology, they are giants, masters of different elements and revered." Kori explained.

"I thought it sounded cool." Richarde shrugged.

"And have you figured out what we all are doing?"

Garfield rubbed his hands together. "Raven, you get to be behind the scenes. You collect money and manage our shows."

"Yes, I know, what about everyone else?"

"I'll be the master of ceremonies. In charge of announcing us." Victor explained.

"Makes sense." Then she looked over to Kori. "What about the angel?"

Richarde smiled, but didn't answer her. "Hon, I got a present for you. Why don't you put it on in the carriage?" He gave her a parcel.

"I love presents!" She squealed, snatching up the parcel. She pecked him on the cheek, hopped into the coach, and locked the door.

"Whatcha get her?"

"You'll see." He rubbed his knuckles. "But I think this will be the crowning feature of our show."

"Are you going to have her dancing and singing again?"

"That'll be a part of it, but anyone can dance and sing."

"Are you going to have her bring people back to life?"

He didn't even smirk. "No."

"Ringing bells?"

"Carving wooden figures?"

"Beating people like crazy in chess?"

"Standing and looking pretty?"

"Guys!" He interrupted. "Just wait, she'll be out in a second and we'll show you. We've been practicing."

"Oh! Is that what I hear you guys doing at night?"

There was a long stretch of silence where the acrobat turned progressively red. "N-no, that's something else."

Victor snickered at his friend's stupidity while Raven just bit her lip.

"Oh...oh! OOOHHH!" The light bulb finally clicked in Garfield's tiny mind. "...never mind."

Kori stepped out of the carriage. "How do I look?" She was garbed in a purple suit much like Richarde's. The color was rich and deep like royalty. The neck line was cross shoulder, and trimmed with silver. A silver sash decorated her waist.

Richarde smiled and pulled her close to him. "You look beautiful."

"Exquisite." Victor followed up.

"Very nice." Raven smirked.

"You look fine!" Everyone turned and looked at the jester. "What?"

"So, are you going to show us now?"

"You wish to observe our routine?" Kori smiled. Without another word, she effortlessly hoisted her husband into to air where he flipped. Again and again, she threw him into the sky so he could perform fantastic flips and twists. At the end of the routine, he balanced on her hand with one arm. The small audience clapped.

"Fantastic job Master and Mistress Serieux." Alfredo smiled coming out of the villa. "I saw your performance through the window. Excellent work."

"Grazie, Alfredo."

"I can see it now! We'll be rich! The whole world will know us! Our names will be legendary!"

"Relax Gar, we're not doing this forever."

"And I believe you will not have to after all." Alfredo spoke up. "This came for both of you by page boy. Seems important."

Richarde took the envelope. "What did you do? Hold it up to the light?"

"Heaven forbid, Master Richarde. Do you think I have no self respect? I used steam."

Richarde chuckled. "Grazie Alfredo."

"What is it?"

"I don't know." He shrugged as he opened it. His eyes scanned over the letter that was inside. "What's that word?" He nudged Kori.

She observed where he was pointing. "Bequeath, it means to give."

"Ah...wait..." He scanned the rest of the parchment. "Holy Last Will and Testament!"

"What? What is that?"

The rest of the team gathered around. "A will? Whose?"

"It looks like Slaed's, but why would he..."

"He was Kori's legal guardian."

"But she didn't have any papers."

"Doesn't mean he can't leave anything to her. May I?" Raven took the letter.

"Richarde, you know how I am with legal matters, what is going on?"

"Slaed...is dead."

"Oh..."

"But you know, when people die, they leave all their wealth and possessions behind."

"Yes."

"They write these Last Will and Testaments to show who they want to give their stuff to."

"And if they have no Will and Testament?"

"Then someone comes in and sells all the belongings."

"So, we have received Slaed's Will, does that mean he left us something?"

"Hard to believe, but you were his only heir."

"No, that is incorrect. Slaed has three blood children. Each with a different mother."

"Whoa! What?!" Victor jumped in on the conversation. "He had three kids with three different women?! How did no one know about this?"

"He went to great lengths to keep it a secret. I met one when I was still little, his name was Joseph. Slaed had him enter the clergy and one of his duties was to check in on me. Fortunately for him, he ran away about a month later. He was a very sweet boy."

"Well, he was his father's favorite biological child." Raven provided, finished with the document. "But as for the favorite over all...he could have left his assets equality between the four. But...just let me read it to you. In the name of God, Amen. On 17 May, 1514, in the 12th year of the reign of Louis XII, I, Slaed de Wilson, citizen and Judicial Vicar of the city of Paris, being of sound mind and memory, make and set out my testament concerning my moveable possessions, in the following manner.

"First, I bequeath, my eldest son, Grant Wilson, 40 livres. 10s.4d. and pardon from the sin that binds him if he should pray for my soul.

"I bequeath to my second son, Joseph de Wilson, my purchased seat in the catholic tribunal. Also 60 livre, 20s. If he shall forgive my transgressions.

I bequeath my youngest child, Rose le Noir, and her husband, Salam le Noir, 40 livre, 50s. 35d. if she grows to be as beautiful as her mother.

"The remainder of all my moveable goods and chattels and whatsoever of my estate, after my debts have been paid and my testament fulfilled, I wish and bequeath to my charge and ward, Koriandre, and her husband, Richarde Serieux. May the sum of my wealth, 87381 livre, 345s. 200d. be a gift onto them if they forgive my sins and pray for my soul.

"In this I attest to, on the aforementioned date, by my executioner."

Richarde the boys stared in shock at the reader.

"So, what did we receive?" Kori asked timidly.

"Darling, you know what my savings were, correct?"

"No." She stated. "The concept of currency is mostly lost on me."

"I had 2000 livre to my name. That was enough for two people to travel the world."

"Yes."

"Just his money, not his estate of anything else, is 44 times my wealth. Are you starting to get it?"

"I believe so...after we have done our tour, we can then retire to a villa in Austria as you promised?"

"Absolutely."

"Sounds like fun." Raven smirked.

"Count me in!"

"Let's do it!"

Richarde stood proud before his friends and family, a smile gracing his face. "I can't begin to explain how thankful I am for all of you. The friendships that you have given me have changed my life. I wouldn't rather be here with anyone else then you guys, you're my family. Over the next year or so, things may be hard. We may be ridiculed or ignored, but as long as we support each other, we'll be fine."

"Aw man, you're making me cry!" Victor sniffed.

"Pack your bags and get a good night's sleep, tomorrow our new lives begin!"

And they lived happily ever after
