The fight of the century, Claude vs Bankotsu

Chapter 1

I was just sitting in my room for who knows how long, just writing, when my supposed loving mother came in and demanded I make her lunch. Stupid mother. Why did I get stuck with you of all people? I thought. I went downstairs to the kitchen and I started preparing my mom her food.

I made her ravioli with meatballs and for her beverage, I gave her some bourbon. I hated living with my mom, for you see, she was the very person who took me from my father. I miss my father and I hope to someday get out of here.

She treats me like a servant.

I have always loved my father more than my mother. After I gave her the food, I went back to my room and went back to my writing. Later that day, I decided to go out for a walk to try and find my father again.

I wasn't even ten seconds out the door when my mom ordered me to clean the whole castle from top to bottom. Come on mother, gimme a break. Oh yeah that's right, you never give me a break. I would rather be with dad right now I thought. After cleaning the whole castle, she made me clean the servants quarters and by the time I was done with that, I finally got a chance to relax.

Relaxing didn't last long because it was time for me to make dinner for my mom and I don't see why the servants can't make dinner. My only friend is our royal barber, Sweeney. He came in the kitchen and he could see the bags under my eyes. "Melody, you look exhausted, allow me to help you make dinner" he said. "Thanks for your help, but the fat cow wants me to make dinner" I said.

He helped me anyways. I appreciate his help, I really do and he was the only one who has been there for me and I think he's more of a parental figure than my own mother. Now I think that's saying something.

"Stupid fat cow" I mumbled under my breath. "Did you say something, Melody?" Sweeney asked. I told him and he howled.

We talked about how much we hate my mom. "I can't believe that she has you doing this all the time" Sweeney said. I nodded in agreement. I brought her out her food and I then went to bed. "Am I done with everything, mother?" I asked.

"You are done for the day, now, go do whatever you want, Melody" Mother said. I nodded and went to my room and grabbed my book bag and I booked it out of there. I knew where I was going, I was going to the Noah's Arc Circus, where my big brother is.

My brother is the best big brother in the world. I love him so much more than our mother. He is the ring-leader of the circus, you know.

I love my brother.
