You ran out of Noctis's room, and walked through the hallway. You turned many corners, and opened doors hoping it was your room. How big can this hotel be..  you sighed "Welp, we're lost. What are gonna do now Puma?"
Puma turned her head so she was looking up at you, her eyes said there was no hope. While you stared into Pumas eyes, you didn't see the person in front.

Bump, "Heyy! Watch where your going" You grumply said, you still haven't eaten and became even more agitated. You looked up to see the same boy with glasses that you bowled over, the height difference was largely extended. The boy towered you, he had a mildly deep voice "You, young girl must be taught some manners."
Your eyebrows twitched, "You, old man should get some better glasses." You huffed and Puma growled, this wasn't yours or Pumas normal behavior around people, you were quite shocked to hear those words come from your mouth. The boy scoffed and folded his arms, "I beg your pardon? I am not an old man, I am Ignis Scientia and I am an advisor for the royal family. And It seems I am just a few years older than you." The boy spoke with pride, his accent giving him a more mature statue.
"Yeah whatever four eyes, just get out my way" you moved around him and started to look around, you still had no idea where to go.

Ignis sneered and watched you open random doors, most were locked. "Lost are we?" Ignis mocked while smirking slightly, you growled and continued, "No, I'm just checking if the door knobs work" You stopped at one door and jiggled the handle, "This one is working fine" this Ignis person started to make your blood boil, you looked at him and stucked your tounge out, which again was out of character.  The boy shooked his head and walked towards you, "I can help you find your room." You thought about the offer, it was either help or your pride. But then again your pride wasn't  gonna get you out of trouble. In defeat you looked away from the boy "Fine, help me" The boy just stood there, crossing his arms and his chin up. "What?" You argued, the boy just stood, now tapping his foot on the floor. You rolled your eyes, "Can you help me find my room PLEASE."
"Much better, tell me your name and the caregiver you came with" The boy spoke, while looking down at you.

"Y/n L/n, and my mother's name is M/n L/n.." You had your suspicion, but if the boy ever told on you, the boy would have to catch these hands.

"I see, so your the one that came here in the middle of night. Very well, follow me." The boy then turned around and head in the opposite direction you were taking. It was a silent walk, maids greeted Ignis, and continued working. Your stomach grumbled loudly, Ignis glanced at you then back to his frontal view. You didn't like the awkwardness, so you tried to start a conversation. "So you work here? This hotel is pretty big, must be alot of work"
On of Ignis's eyebrows lifted, "Hotel? This is the Royal palace of Lucis."

"Whaat?!" Why didn't she tell me such important information,  now I probably looked like a savage running around, you facepalmed.

A few minutes went past and you now recoigzed the area, the large windows you saw before glistened from the setting sun. You arrived at your door, slowly opened it and exhaled, you didn't realize that the mess was so bad. Ignis gasped, hand to his heart "What happened here?"

"It was that stupid rabbit! If he wasn't Noctis's friend I would've thrown him off my balcony." You crossed your arms as well did your eyebrows.

"How do you know Noctis?" Ignis voice was serious as he questioned you.

"I stumbled upon his room while chasing that creature, but I gave him one of my treats to say sorry, its from Tenebrae, it's his favorite." You truthful told Ignis, only leaving the part where Puma nearly chewed off the rabbits head.

"Well since you were nice to Noctis, I will help you."

You sighed with relief " Great, start picking up the books."

Ignis helped you clean the entire room, you were glad you didn't have to clean it by yourself. The room was sparkling, Ignis was ready to leave you told him to wait by the door. You grabbed one of your treats from your bag and handed it to him.
"Bye Ignis, thanks for helping me"

"Your manners have improved, goodbye Y/n" Ignis padded your head and left, and told the entire story to his friend.

~~

"Haha, I can't believe it! I really want to meet this little girl." The older boy laughed, amused by the story. He was actually quite impressed.

"Maybe she could spar with you Gladio." Ignis replied with sprinkle of sass.
~~


Approximately 30 minutes after Ignis left, your mother barged through the door. Her face was lit with jolliness and with a distinctive implication of depression, she skipped towards you and stroked your head. You thought the affection was odd, but you just shrugged it off.

"Y/n are you and ready to have dinner?" She cooed and held your shoulders.

"Ooh, food" You fantasized of the deliciousness meat melting in your mouth, you stared into the abyss and drooled.

Somewhat terrified, she just chuckled "I take that as a yes, oh and I forgot to mention. We're having dinner with my friend and his son. So no misbehaving!"

"Whatever you say." You didn't really listen to your mother's nagging, you just agreed.

"Puma has to stay here" Your mother order, Puma whined and dropped on the ground.

"Bu-" Your mother cut you off before you could say anything.

"No buts."

"Don't worry Puma I'll bring you some left overs" You padded Pumas head, and gave her some of your treats.

"Alright, come with me." She grabbed your hands and lead you out the door.

This place is like a maze, how can anyone live here. You and your mother walked deeper than you did earlier, but finally both of you stopped at a large wide door that spilt in half. The door was dark blue, the handle embroidered with gold patterns. Butlers on both sides opened both doors, your mother smiled and thank them. As the door widened, you saw a long table decorated with flowers and a buffet of food. Your mother bowed, but you were distracted by the sweet aroma and sight of the food. Your mother turned her head slightly, she reached her hand to your head and gently forced it down.

A man stood up from his seat and walked towards you and your mother, the man's voice was strong anc powerful "M/n, please take a seat." Your mother stood straight and walked towards her chair, she also greeted another person, you didn't know if you should look up or not, he kneeled in front of you.

"And you must be Y/n, the last time I saw you was when you were very young, my name is Regis. Please take a seat." You stood up, the man wore all black, and a some sort of Cape that went over one shoulder. You knew that this man was very rich, he went behind you had placed his hand on your shoulder to guide you to your chair. You gazed around the room, the table was long and black, it was placed horizontally in the middle of the room. Large windows on the other side of  the room, maids and guards were standing near every wall. The walls were covered with rich dark marble that glistened with cleanliness.

You were now seated in you chair, you gazed opon the many entries of food. The food distracted your field of view, you didn't notice a certain boy on your left.

"Y-Y/n?" The boy shyly spoke up, you fixed your gaze where the voice came from. You were taken back, you didn't expect him to be here.

"Noctis?"
