Nicholas' Pov
"Nicholas? Is that you?" I heard her asking me as I gave her a hug. I couldn't believe it. She was right here, smiling at me as she returns the hug. She was a tad older now, probably 15 years old. She wasn't the Anne I knew back at the castle."Milady? Anne? H-How did you find me here?" I asked her as she smiles, not saying any word. "Milady?" I asked her again but she quickly walks away.
"Milady, where are you going?" I asked her as she walks to the street, disappearing in the crowd. I couldn't see her anymore. Though, I quickly tried to at least find her before giving up. I saw a shade of pink haired girl and went towards a building.
I then followed her, going into some sort of school. I wasn't really sure what the school name was but I knew it was at Finland by the looks of it. She was there, laughing with some other guy. I don't know who he was but he just gave me a stare like he had won.

The next thing I knew was he was kissing her. Kissing my lady. I stared at the scene, not moving an inch as Anne pulls away, a satisfied smile marked on her face. She then looks back at me and waved.
I was about to wave back at her but then, I wandered off into another scene. It was Brice and Azaila, arguing as Brice storms off irritably and Azaila crying as she wipes her tears with her hands. I quickly went to follow Brice but I couldn't see anyone on the hallway. Not even Quincy was there.
Though, I saw my lord smiling like a madman as he walks to the hallway. He walked past me like I was some sort of ghost and then went to Brice's room. I went back and saw Augustus and Azaila fighting and arguing about something. The last thing I knew was I saw Azaila's unconscious body, laying on the floor.
"Nicholas Marshall! Wake up! Nicholas!" I heard someone calling me. I looked around and saw nothing but black. I tried to reopen my eyes but it just won't open. "Nicholas!" I then felt a hard slap, making me jump out of shock.
"Nicholas! Hey! You alright mate? You look like you've seen a ghost. That was quite a sleep ya' got there," I heard someone telling me as I rub my eyes, adjusting to the brightness. We were still in the chopper but Casvielle was staring at me, back and forth as she was still holding the cyclic control of the chopper. The ambassador looks at me and gave me a smile. He quickly pats my shoulder as he mentions me to look down.
"Look down Nic, you'll see Finland in an aerial view. It's quite beautiful too. I'm sure you wouldn't want to miss it," he said as I look down, seeing the buildings and some boats going to the clear water. It was quite stunning since I haven't been out that much. I looked at Casvielle as she quickly tries to lower down the chopper, making it a bit clear for us to see. Some people were walking in their normal attires, enjoying their day as we went to their landing area which wasn't really that far.
I could see some people waiting for us down at the fly zone and they quickly gave us a smile. I smiled back as the chopper landed safely on the ground. "Good job Casvielle. Not too bad for the first time." I heard the ambassador say as she cheered. "Woohoo! Vohdoin!" I gave her a shocked look as she quickly smiles at me. "It's your first time ever flying a chopper?" I asked her as she sighs in relief. She nods and looked at the people who's probably the general and waves to him, greeting him.
"Yeah. Not too shabby ain't it? I even thought that I'd blow up the whole thing but here we are! Good thing I didn't do. It was really hard to manage but it was fun. Sorry for rambling," she said as she wipes her hands with a towel. I nodded in approval. "Nothing to be sorry milady," I said as she gave me a chuckle.
"We really need to work on that 'milady' thing. In Finland, you can stop calling every girl that and call them their names. Besides, you're not going to be a butler here. You're gonna be a random civilian studying here, alright?" She said as I nodded in approval and looked around. It looks like a base camp or some sort. I wasn't really sure.
"Ambassador Gunter, this is Harvor. He'll be the one to contact the school that Nicholas would be going," I heard them talking as Casvielle quickly approaches them. So, I followed. "Ey mate, mind if I ask you a question? Also, tell the truth, alright?" Casvielle told me as she faces me. I looked down to her as she embarrassingly look up.
"How old are you?" She asks as I look at her, shocked. "M-My age? It's 17," I said, lying as she furrows her brows. "Are you sure? Are you telling the truth? We need these for the school's database you know. Also, you don't look like 17 to me. Just a tad younger though. 16?" she said making me look away. I have lied once and that was a long ago.
"So?" She asked, waiting for my response. "I'm just 12. Believe it or not," I said as she looks at me dumbfounded. "What?! Where's your birth certificate?! I need to see it!" I heard her telling me as I shook my head. "It was burned a long time ago," I said as she paced back and forth. "How was it burned?" She asked me as I looked away.
I looked down, ashamed. "Nicholas? Geez, sorry mate. I didn't know that it was confidential," she said as she pats my shoulder. "Anyways, you're qualified to be in school but one question," she said as I looked up.
"Does Prince Brice know this?" She asks me as I looked at her, not talking. Did Brice knew? I'm sure he doesn't. After all, I just lied to my lord to accept me as his butler. I didn't have any job whatsoever and no family to take care of me. Of course, I had to do something.
"I hope my lady doesn't mind," I thought as I looked around.
"It might take awhile but I'm sure destiny will call us. I'll find you soon, my lady,"
