"Claude! Come here now!" Alois yelled from the table in the garden. You were currently picking white roses for the manor, near where Alois was sitting. You were about his age and worked as a maid for the Trancy manor. He had picked you out of the streets about a year ago after his father's death. You were terrified of him, seeing what hadhappened to Hannah and her eye this morning. 

The tall emotionless butler came to his side and waited for his master's orders. He stood from his seat and walked over to you. 'Oh no. Please don't tell me I've done something wrong.' You thought to yourself, feeling a wave of fear go over you. "(Y/N). Come with me and Claude. We will be going to wait for my dearest uncle to come over to the manor." He says looking down at you. "Yes, your highness." You bow your head and bring the roses you have picked out.

Suddenly out of nowhere, Alois pulled you by your arm and hugged it while walking up to the manor. "Claude. Put the roses in a vase and set them in (Y/N)'s room." Claude bowed to Alois Then takes the roses from you. "Yes, your highness." He stands and walks off. "Thank you, your highness." You whisper to yourself. "What was that dear, speak up." Alois asked. Though it sounded more of a demand. "I-I said thank you. Your Highness." You stuttered. He stares at you and pulls your face towards his. "You're better than that bitch Hannah. And so, you are allowed to call me Alois. Not your highness. Am I clear." He says. You nodded, and he let you go as the door rang.

Claude came out and opened the door. "Welcome to the Trancy Manor. I am Claude Faustus, the butler of this estate. Do come in." Claude moved aside and let Alois's uncle inside. "Uncle Arnold! I'm so happy to see you!" Alois smiles and runs up to the man. You watched the two talks and followed them back inside.

[Time Skip To The Day Ending]

You were cleaning up when all of a sudden you hear the young master yelling and throwing papers out the window. You run to the nearest window and see the papers flying down from the balcony. "Wait! Come back, Uncle Arnold! I know you only came here because you wanted money!" Alois yelled. "So here...you can have this! I've no use for them!" He continued. They were deeds to the land, manor, everything. You were disgusted at seeing his uncle accepting all of it, greedy bastard. You felt a bit sad for the young master though, sure he was insane, but all he ever wanted was to be cared about.

It was about time for you to slumber when there was a knock at your door. You were in your nightgown and it was pretty late. You opened the door only to see Claude standing with a candelabra in hand. "His Highness wishes for you to be at his chamber." He says keeping that blank expression. Both of you walked until you made it to the young master's room and Claude opened the door. "(Y/N)...come here now." Alois demands. He was in his nightwear in bed and gestured for you to sit next to him.

"Yes, Alois. Is there something wrong?" You asked and sat next to him. What happened next caught you completely by surprise. He got up and wrapped his arms around you in a desperate embrace. His grip was firm as if his life depended on it. He looked into your (E/C) eyes, with those icy blue ones. "Promise you will never leave me. You will stay and never go no matter what." Your heartfelt a bit heavy at these words. You could see the hurt in his eyes. He is nothing more than an innocent, yet devilish soul. "Yes, your Highness, I will stay for as long as you want me to." You answer as he tightens his grip around your torso.

'I promise'.
