Last night the butler, Sebastian showed me to my room. I had a room all for myself. The room was rather large too. It was like nothing I had even dreamed of but somehow I felt like I was alone.

This morning I was harassed awake by that damn gardener. I snapped at him and was told to get dress and come down to the foyer.

I dressed in my trousers and button up shirt before appearing in front of a rather daring woman. She wore a shorter skirt than most females. her hair was drawn to the side and a hat was placed on the opposite side of her head.

"Hello, I am Nina Hopkins," she beamed.

"Hello," I answered coldly.

"May, I ask your name?" she grinned.

"No-" I started before I heard that obnoxious deep tone of the butler.

"Our guest asked for your name," he glared at me disapprovingly. "When she asked you say, 'Well, hello Lady Hopkins I am Sebastian Michaelis," he demonstrated giving Nina Hopkins a low bow.

He gestured for me to do the same. I tried to repeat his bow but got kicked in the leg.

"Curtsy, do not bow," he instructed.

"I'm not wearing a dress," I growled.

"Pretend," he said in a voice that made me want to stab him.

I picked up my imaginary dress and curtsied to Nina Hopkins. "Hello, ms.-" another kick.

"Not ms. Lady," he corrected.

"Hello, Lady Hopkins, I am Mey Rin," I answered mad at myself for revealing my name.

"Lovely, Mey Rin let's take you're measurements."

Sebastian escorted us to a spacious room finned with mirrors and steps for standing on when looking in the mirrors.

"Off, with it!" she cheered after Sebastian had left.

"Off with what?" I questioned.

Lady Hopkins ripped open my shirt.

"What, are you doing?" I cried covering myself.

"Why is your chest bond?" she asked.

"I wouldn't fit in this shirt otherwise." I answered.

"Well to make you a uniform that fits we will have to unbind it." she said a little too cheerily.

After unbinding my chest and bloody hours of measuring she drew out a pattern as I rebound my chest so I could put my shirt back on.

"Alright!" she cheered as I was finishing up buttoning my shirt.

"Would you like to see it?" she asked. I walked over to her desk and looked over her shoulder.

I almost gasped. It was a dress! Never had I ever worn something like that.

"This isn't even the best part!" she cried flipping through her sketch book showing me all of the features of my uniform.

I showed my excitement for the garment and soon the woman left. I walked out into the room and was met with a coat less butler.

"What am I to do now?" I asked.

"Training starts now, clean the floor," he said shoving a bucket full of soapy water and a brush into my arms. I made a sound in disgust but moved to do ask I was told.

I only had to do what they said for a short while longer. I planned on obtaining a knife and waiting to take out the Earl as soon as possible.

I just hope that happened very soon. I was wet and cold by the time the floor was done. I stood up to go back to my room when the constant thorn in my side returned.
