---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You walked down the dirty streets of London's poorer area. This neighborhood was where most of the less wealthy lived, though you wouldn't really call it living. You were homeless, not even able to afford one of the shitty and disgusting rooms in the broken down buildings.

You were young with little education so not many people were willing to hire you to work. Not to mention you were also dirty and wearing a ragged stained shirt and trousers. You couldn't afford shoes either. Ever since your parents died when you were eight you lived like this, and somehow managed to make it to thirteen.

Your only means of survival were stealing and begging, mainly stealing since you were quite good at it. When you begged you used a little tricked you learned to get more money, you pretended to be a girl. You were young so your flat chest didn't matter, and your face was more feminine along with your voice. Though you didn't do this often, people were more sympathetic to women. It helped that your H/C hair reached your shoulders too, not like you had the money to get it cut anyway and that's why it grew out.

People were stupid in your opinion, they all easily could mistake you as a girl when you really tried. You didn't like using that to your advantage, but you have to do what you have to do.

--------

You've made your way to the market place, where all the rich folk came to buy their goods. You tired not to stick out, but your clothes were dirty, your hair that was in a pony tail was tangled and your E/C eyes were dull and almost lifeless. Yeah you looked like the type of person to steal and few people noticed that, tugging their bags and coin pouches closer to themselves.

"Dammit, I'll never get anything if I look like someone who's gonna mug everyone" You thought bitterly to yourself as you continued down the street. You kept your head down, not really paying attention and just expecting people to avoid you. That was until you collided with someone's chest causing you to fall backwards. You groaned and looked up to see a young boy, his hair was blond and neatly brushed, he wore a purple coat and vest with very...short shorts. His icy blue eyes starred down at you with a emotion you couldn't describe.

"Rich boy" You thought before helping yourself up and mumbling a apology. You tried to walk away but was stopped by the boy pointing a finger at you and shouting.

"I want her Claude! She can be our new maid that we so desperately need!"

Your eyes widen hearing his words and you raised a eyebrow at him.

"What?" You questioned, wondering if you heard him right. He wanted you as a maid? He obviously thought you were a girl too.

"Where are my manors! I'm Alois Trancy and your going to be my new maid at my manor" He stated making you scoff. Like he could just make you work for him! But...you would have a place to stay, food and clean clothes.

"Fine I'll work for you" You said making him look surprised at your cooperation. "I'm Y/N L/N"

You hoped your name wouldn't give away your gender, he wanted you as a maid not a butler so you would have to pretend to be a girl if you wanted a job.

"Well lady Y/N follow me to my carriage" He said while grabbing your hand and dragging you to the said carriage. This kid was denser than you thought, he really believed you were a girl. Well if it got you free living then it was worth pretending until he found out.

 Not like you were gonna get a word in to even say you were a boy with how he was chatting your ear off on the ride to the manor.
