Being a Butler to the Trancy estate isn't easy.
Everyone calls my Highness a 'Brat'.
He isn't a Brat. He's my Highness, my only Highness.
I don't regret our contract. Honestly, I'm happy with it.

*Sounds of shattering glasses*
"Claude!!!"

I know... even if he does so many things on purpose he only does them to get my attention.

*walks formally into the room seeing spilled juice and shattered glass everywhere*

"Claude! You came!"

His smile is big and lasts for as long as I'm there. He gets excited to see me any time anywhere.

*he gets off his chair and runs to hug me*

"I'm sorry I broke another glass today"

He even apologizes when he's my master but he treats me as if I'm his master.

"I will take care of it your highness " I said sternly as I am.

"That's my claude!"

Whatever I do, he never seems to get bored of it.

"Claude can I see you tap dance again? You really have the moves to it maybe dance with me and show me how to do it!"

It's like I'm something more than a butler and teacher to him.

"You have to take the tap dance lessons today after all your highness "

"We do this once a week! Why not everyday? Don't you like to dance with me Claude?" He would stare at my golden eyes and wait for my response but I wouldn't say anything but ignore it.

"Let's start--"

"NO! Tell me and don't you ever ignore my questions you dumb-ass!!!"he would yell over small things.

"...."

"DONT JUST STAND THERE WITH YOUR FILTHY MOUTH SHUT ANSWER IT!"

"I do not care if we dance, a demon butler is not to show or tell my master anything or express my emotions, I only teach you how to dance and you learn from it you're a human I'm a demon I don't have same emotions as Humans do" I would always lecture him for a bit when he just won't understand what it's like to be a demon butler.

"Forget it..." he would always look away and in the corner of his eye I would see his tears forming up. And he will just walk away.

"Don't come to check on me until tomorrow Claude " he wouldn't turn around but keep walking off until he's gone.

"Yes...Your Highness"

I can't express my feelings to my master... I'll break the rule and never see him again...
I don't want that to happen... I want to stay with him until the end.
