The Butler & The Suicidal Princess

♡Chapter 2: A Secret Kept From The Dark♡

Cece: ~looks up at Shinozaki as she looks down a bit and sighs lightly as she looks back up at him~

Shinozaki: ~looks at her as he feels worried about her~ "sure...what is it my dear?...."

Cece: ~looks at him as she looks down and looks back at him with tears in her eyes~ "have you ever f-felt so lonely in the world...that n-no one notices you...."

Shinozaki: ~looks at her as he kneels down again and places his hand on her shoulder~ "Lady Cece...is there something wrong?...."

Cece: ~a tear trickles down her cheek as she sighs and rolls up her sleeves, revealing her cuts~

Shinozaki: ~looks at her cuts as he feels bad for her and touches them gently as he looks up at her~ "Lady Cece...why are you cutting yourself?...."

Cece: ~winces lightly as more tears trickle down her cheeks as she hugs him tightly, crying into her butler's chest~

Shinozaki: ~hugs her tightly as he comforts her again and strokes her hair~

Cece: ~pulls away from the hug as she wipes away her tears and looks at her butler~ "I feel alone...I-I don't feel loved in the world....my mother l-left me alone t-to die..I-I'm sorry..."

Shinozaki: ~looks at her and hugs her again tightly and whispers lightly~ "But you shouldn't harm yourself...Lady Cece...."

Cece: ~hugs him back tightly as she feels his warmth and sighs~ "I-I know but I just c-couldn't help myself....I was sad and alone..."

Shinozaki: ~pulls away from the hug as he places his hand on her cheek~ "But you're not alone Lady Cece...I'm here with you and for you when you need me...."

Cece: ~smiles lightly as she wipes away a few her tears from her eyes as she hugs him tightly~ "I'm glad I have you as my butler...."

Shinozaki: ~hugs her back as he smiles and pulls away from the hug as he looks at her and stands up~ "I'm glad that your still alive and that I have you, Lady Cece...to take care of..."

Cece: ~smiles as she un-roles her sleeves to hide her cuts as she holds his hand and looks at him~ "can we go home now?..."

Shinozaki: ~smiles lightly as he chuckles and holds her hand as well~ "of course we can"

*At The Mansion*

Cece: ~heads inside her mansion as she waits for her butler to head inside and takes off her butlers coat and hangs it on a coat hanger~

Shinozaki: ~heads inside the mansion as he closes the mansion doors and turns around as he sees Cece and smiles~ "alright, come on let's get you to bed"

Cece: ~smiles lightly as she heads upstairs to her room and opens her closet as she takes her nightgown out and lays it on the bed as she sits on the bed, waiting for her butler~ "Shinozaki!"

Shinozaki: ~hears her as he heads into her room and smiles lightly as he looks at her~ "yes, Lady Cece?"

Cece: "can you prepare my bath please and I'll do the rest on my own, oh yeah and can you bring a cup of tea after I'm done taking a bath and putting my nightgown on?" ~looks at him as she stands up from the bed and smiles lightly~

Shinozaki: "alright then my dear" ~ smiles softly as he heads into her bathroom and prepares her bath as he puts bubbles into her bath and heads out of the bathroom~ "The bath is ready my dear"

Cece: ~smiles lightly as she grabs her nightgown and get's clean undergarments as she also get's a pair of thin socks and she walks into her bathroom as she closes the door as she locks it~ "Thank you"

Shinozaki: "your welcome" ~fixes his necktie as he heads out of her room and heads downstairs, into the kitchen as he makes her tea~

*few minutes pass*

Cece: ~finishes taking a bath as she puts her undergarments on and her nightgown on as she puts her white frill socks and waits for her tea as she climbs onto her bed and puts the blankets over her legs as she waits and she grabs a book from her drawer as she reads it~

Shinozaki: ~finishes making her tea as he heads upstairs with her tea and knocks on her door, waiting for an entrance~ "Lady Cece, your tea's ready"

Cece: ~hears her butler as she puts her book down that she's reading and places her hands on her lap~ "come in"

Shinozaki: ~opens the door as he heads into her room, with the tea as he sees her in bed and smiles as he heads her tea to her~ "there you go, Lady Cece"

Cece: "thank you" ~smiles lightly as she grabs the cup of tea carefully and takes a sip of the tea as she places the cup of tea on her desk and lays on her bed~

Shinozaki: "Lady Cece, you should really get some rest, someone you haven't seen for a long time is coming over tomorrow" ~puts her to bed as he smiles lightly and places the blanket halfway over he body and pats her head~

Cece: ~looks at her butler, curiously as she sits up and holds the blankets to keep her warm as she yawns lightly~ "wait, who's coming over tomorrow? *yawns*"

Shinozaki: "another one of the highest class but he lives farther from us and I think you two may get along, also he's your cousin" ~looks at her and smiles lightly as he stands up, almost ready to get out of her room~

Cece: "oh okay then *yawns*" ~feels tired as she lays down on her bed and covers herself with the blankets as she begins to fall asleep~

Shinozaki: ~sees her sleeping form as he smiles lightly and grabs the cup of tea as he also grabs one of the candles from her room and whispers~ "have a good nights rest, Lady Cece.." ~blows out the candle as he smirks softly and his eyes glow aqua in the dark as he heads out of her room and closes the room door~
