The fight of the century, Claude vs Bankotsu

Chapter 4

I smiled at him and told him that he didn't have to do that. He turned his head and I saw a hint of pink sweep across his face. "Claude, are you blushing?" the boy asked his butler. He combed his fingers through his hair and he stood straight. "So, Melody is it?" the boy asked me.

I nodded and Claude opened the door for us and I let the boy in the carriage first, then I went inside the carriage. "What's your name?" I asked him. "Alois Trancy and your going to be my new servant, but seeing as your dress is that of royalty, I cannot make my servant" Alois said. "Then what are you going to do with me?" I asked. He only giggled and looked at Claude and then me and lightly pushed me over to him.

Claude caught me and my face turned a little bit of pink. "Are you alright, my lady?" Claude asked. I nodded. We got to the Trancy Manor and were greeted by three boys dressed the same and there was also a woman who had a bandage over her left eye. "Welcome home, my lord" the woman said as she was staring at the ground.

The three boys helped Alois out of the carriage and Claude helped me out of the carriage. I took a look at the Manor and it was huge. "Lovely isn't it?" Claude asked offering me his arm.

I nodded and placed my arm in the crook of his and we walked into the Manor. The woman asked if I was a princess. "I am a princess. I'm sorry, but I never caught your name" I say to her. 

"My name is Hannah" the woman Hannah said.

Hannah was told to show me to my room but Claude said that he would show me to my room. Alois whispered something to Claude and he turned a hint of red. "It would be unfitting for a princess and a butler to sleep in the same room, Your Highness" Claude said. I looked over at Hannah and she only shrugged. Alois didn't seem to care, so he demanded Claude and I stay in the same room.

"With all due respect, I would like to stay in a small room, if you don't mind, Lord Trancy" I said giving him a kind curtsy. "None of that, I shall see that you shall have a room fit for a princess and my butler, Your Royal Highness, and call me Alois" Alois said. Claude noticed Alois' very kind gesture and he unknowingly smiled at me.

"Ok then, I'll call you by your name and you can just call me Melody" I said smiling. He bows and I curtsied. I followed Claude and he waited until I was by his side and like he did when we were in the driveway, offered me his arm and I placed my arm in the crook of his until we got to the room.
