As I rode to the Trancy Estate I leaned against the corner of the carriage. Sebastian was at the front, driving the horses. I fingered my ring and began to think. Alois Trancy couldn't harm me. After all, he was only a year my elder and just slightly taller. Our builds seemed to be the same, and I was almost positive he lied around as much as I. I fiddled with my tie as I waited to arrive at the Trancy estate. I just couldn't shake the feeling that something would happen at his house, however I simply could not give Sebastian any reason to believe that I was a coward. I couldn't let him know that I was, after all that I've said, afraid of Alois Trancy. The small blond was a pervert! I shuddered at the memory of his tongue gliding over my ear. I wouldn't let him touch me, I vowed. Never....

Alois's POV
"Oh, Claude~!" I chimed. I giggled as he entered my study. He looked at me in his calm demeanor.
"Well?" I said. "Dress me!"
Claude nodded and bowed. "Yes, your Highness."
He went through my wardrobe, searching for an outfit. He held up a bright, about 6 shades darker than lime green, outfit.
"No," I said, trying to be difficult.
He held out another. This was a purple jacket, green vest, white dress shirt, and black short-shorts with socks that came up just above my knee. There was a black bow tied around the collar of the shirt. I smiled in approval. Claude dressed me quickly and dug my black boots with purple bows at the tops out if my wardrobe. He slid them on my feet and I stood, looking in the mirror and smiling. Claude adjusted his black glasses and looked at me for approval.
"It's perfect~! " I chimed. I spun around and noticed my unruly hair. I pointed to my tangled blond locks. "Fix it."
Claude guided me to the bathroom and retrieved my purple and black hair brush. He carefully ran it through my hair and sat it down when he finished. "Alright Claude, now shoo! I told him you would be gone and he'll be here any minute! Take the triplets and Hannah and leave!" I said Hannah's name with disdain. She annoyed me in particular. The little sod was always in my way. Claude soon left and the doorbell rang. I danced my way down the stairs and opened the door for my 'special guest.'
