Chapter 7: The Trancy Servants
I was awoken when the carriage slowed down and then was pulled to a stop. So, we were finally here. I opened my eyes and strecthed my arms and looked at what stupid manor this brat lived in.
"HOLY CRAP!?!" I screamed as I looked at the huge estate. I was in such shock at how large it was that I flung myself to the side of the carriage. This lead to me falling over the side and smacking into the stone driveway.
"Owww....." i groaned as I turned over in pain from hitting solid rock. An unsympathetic butler stared over me with that same emotionless expression.
"You must really watch your step, one false move you get you killed." He said almost to calmly as he walked around to the side of the carriage to open it for his master. I pulled myself off from the ground and stood up, smoothing out my dress.
"Are you alright?" The blonde earl questioned me.
"Yes, I'm alright." i replied giving a shy smile.
"Good!" the boy said as he trotted by me, "claude, please carry her things inside."
"Yes, your highness." He replied mechanically. Claude went to the back and pulled out my suitcase. Before I could grab it from him, my arm was held in the trap of the Earl's hands.
"Oh, I think you'll like it here!" he said as he dragged me into the giant manor, "As you have already figured out, my place is a little larger than ciel's."
The boy all of a sudden stopped and his gripp became avice around my wrist. I could feel the blood as it tried to move past the grip on my vein. My hand started to turn sligtly blue.
"And you don't have to worry about that vile butler anymore, and you can try to forget all the vile things he has done." the earl said becoming dark and serious. Was this kid bipolar? His mood changed so quickly....... Well, being around demons, I am no stranger to sudden mood changes, for demons can become easily angered. But, they could also be easily calmed.
"Thank you very much for what you have done for me. I did not deserve such kindness." I said soothingly, rubbing his hand that encricled my wrist. He grip relaesed and became more playful once again. The blood happily rushed back in my fingers.
"Of course you deserved it! Every one deserves kindness!" He replied happily as he dragged me through large mahongony doors.
"Hannah! Hannah!" He yelled energitcally. Hannah..... the annefellows sword. i had almost forgotten she worked for him. this proved to be more of a challenge becuase I would also have to work along side her and not show a single thing to cause suspicion.
"Hello master, you have returned." she said sweetly as she entered the main hall. Aloisquickly let go of me and ran full speed towards her. She opened her arms wide into which he jumped into. The embraced each other with such happiness. This would be very unusual for a maid and master pair. Which meant, to play along with my part as a simple maid, I would have to question their relationship.
"Is she your nurse?" I asked.
"I think you mean nanny. The term 'nurse' hasn't been used for quite a while." Claude corrected me. Shoot, a nanny was called a nurse way back when. only someone who lived then would only call a nanny a nurse. Claude quickly glided towards the befuddled maid and master.
"But, to answer your question, yes, Ms. Hannah did raise and care for my master when he returned to his father after being kidnapped." Claude said unaffected by the phrase exiting his mouth. I could tell this story was burned into his memory because he had to have made an alliby for Jim being Alois. Jim..... that's what his name was!
