His Caged Owl

Down to Business

~Your P.OV~

I stood on the steps that lead to the second floor of the estate looking down at the three new possible servants Sebastian brought, they consisted of a female and two males "This is all you could find?" I questioned my demon butler "Yes, sir." He nodded "Fine then, listen up cause I only want to say this once." I paused collecting my words before continuing "I have no idea what you did or what you were doing before you all came here, and I don't care, I have brought you here for a chance to become a servant under the Phantomhive name. But being a servant under that name means more than cleaning and attending to a garden, no... to be a Phantomhive servant means putting your life on the line to protect this very Estate and myself. It-" "You want us to protect you while pretending to be servants! Ha what a joke." The tall blonde male interrupted me "Nobles these days I swear, they think they own the world." He chuckled looking at me "I wasn't finished." I huffed while puffing my cheeks out "I was going to say you can live at the estate, be paid for your services and have 3 square meals a day, you are free to do whatever you want when off duty as long as it isn't illegal of course." I sighed "Any more interruptions?" I asked looking down at them. The little blonde boy raised his hand "Yes?" I asked him "Do you really mean it?" He asked "Mean what?" I questioned "That we would be free when not on duty?" He looked at me with slight hope in his eyes, Sebastian leaned down to my ear and whispered "He was experimented on and held in solitude he basically always desired freedom." He stated before straightening himself up "Yes I mean it." I looked at the boy as his eyes lit up "I accept then!" He cheered.

After a few more minutes of being asked a few more questioned they all accepted, May-rin, the only female, was a maid, the moron that interrupted me  was Bardroy, the boy Sebastian told me about was Finnian but he said to just call him Finny and he was the new gardener, as both Tanaka and Sebastian were training them I stood in the library  looking at all the new books, glancing at them closely till I picked one at random heading over to the couch I plopped down and began reading.

~Time laps~ (2 years ahead)

 "5 more minutes." I mumbled into my pillow "Sorry but you have a tight schedule today, you need to get up now." Sebastian chuckled lightly while trying to pull the covers off my mummified form "No." I groaned only for him to finally pull the covers off "There come on now Miss, get up." He grabbed my arm gently and pulled me up "Fine but only because you are annoying." I huffed running my hands through my un-brushed hair letting out a yawn "Here is your morning tea." He handed me the cup before heading over to the closet.

"Why do I have so much paper work!?" I groaned while bashing my head on the desk "Because you thought it would be a good idea to take a break yesterday." Sebastian chuckled "Why did you let me do that?" I looked up at him "Because you ordered me to leave you be, I had no choice." He looked down at me with amusement in his eyes. "Never allow me to take a break if I am healthy again, ya hear me!" I growled at him "Of course." He bowed "Also you have a letter from her Majesty." He handed me the letter "Oh great." I mumbled opening the letter scanning over it quickly. "She needs me to attend another party... to keep an eye on Viscount Druitt... great..." I sighed "It seems you are more of a babysitter then an underground guard to her majesty." Sebastian stated "Don't mock me!" I stood up in a rage "Whatever orders I get from the Queen I have to follow through even if I don't like it! So don't!" I glared at him "Of course." He smiled down at me only mocking me more.
