The fire in their eyes

Chapter 4 The Kalos wars

"My young Lord are you awake?" Sebastian was fully in the room.

Hannah groaned.

"I'll take that as a yes" Sebastian threw open the curtains. Rain poured on the balcony. Next he threw off each of the 3 duvets on her bed. Hannah lay flat on the bed face under the pillow. The pyjamas were a silk dress-shirt complete with a collar and some fleeced pants that came down to Hannah's ankles. Both of her socks had been lost in the duvets. Somewhere. "Young master what can I do with you"

Hannah muffled something under the pillow.

"I'm sorry I couldn't hear you could you repeat that please?"

Hannah lifted the pillow and rolled on to her back. The king sized bed was perfect for those sort of manoeuvres "You can start by bringing me some tea"

Sebastian stared at her then realised. "Sir you have to get dressed first before you have breakfast"

Hannah groaned again still lying on her back.

"Sir I promise I'll be swift and I will follow the same terms that Edward established." Sebastian's gaze was very persuasive.

"Fine"Hannah muttered.

"Don't worry Sir I'll pick out something decent"

Again Sebastian was true to his word he had picked a suit similar to one Hannah had seen Gary wore.

When they were finished a butler came up with Hannah's breakfast. He looked very old and tried to hide the hunch on his back by walking in a very uncomfortable posture. He slammed the tray on the side table. "Hey buddy watch it!" Hannah shouted.

"I'm sorry your majesty" The butler said sarcastically while cuertseying.

"I'd watch your tone Peter!" Sebastian snapped.

"Oh piss off Sebastian" Peter shouted.

"She's just a kid you don't have to be so violent. Also I don't think you should curse in front of your superiors"

Peter snarled then left.

"Who shoved a stick up his ass?"Hannah asked

Sebastian sighed heavily. "Before your father was on the throne and master of this household his older brother was and Peter was his head butler. However when your uncle died and your father took the crown and made me and Edward his head butlers."

"Is that what that silver badge is?"

Sebastian nodded. That day was much quieter Hannah had no contact with her father so she went down to the palace library. There were books everywhere. Sebastian, lieutenant Ross and lieutenant Irwin followed her everywhere as annoying as that was for both ends they did serve quite useful. Lieutenant Ross wore her female army uniform even though they were only guarding a child in the most protected building in the region. Lieutenant Irwin wore the male counterpart to Ross' uniform. "Sebastian"Hannah shouted.

Sebastian looked up he had his nose in a book. "Yes young Lord"

"I want you to tell me everything about Kalos history"

Sebastian raised his eyebrows "So you crave knowledge your highness"

"Well I have no where else to go so this palace is probably going to be my home for a while. So I might as well learn a bit about where I'm staying. Plus I'm bored so you might as well entertain me"

Sebastian smiled the similarities between Hannah and her father was astounding. "Oh young master don't you want to read through the books and find it yourself?"he had a very sarcastic voice when he wanted it to be.

"No I've never been a big fan of reading plus you work in Kalos so you're bound to have some knowledge of your region"

Sebastian sighed."Well about 3,000 years ago there was a battle that emerged over the rights of pokemon. After the king became very lonely as he forgot to love. As a massacre of men and pokemon. Apparently his most precious pokemon left him."

"Hey! Wasn't their some sort of giant weapon and a legendary pokemon involved too?" Ross shouted from a corridor of bookshelves.

"Some is just speculation it happened around 3,000 years ago many records have been destroyed since then"

Hannah sat on chair clinging to Sebastian's every word.

"Have I peaked your interest Sir?"

"mph" This small noise made it seem like she didn't care when really it was amazing but she wasn't going to let him know that.

Sebastian smiled. He explained Hannah's great ancestors how Kalos once had an empire. More wars and how Parfum palace

was built. "Wait so your saying the king that won the war 300 years ago built this palace?"

"Absolutely right your highness"

"So your saying it just mysteriously ended just a flash then over a full on war just ended"

Sebastian nodded it was 4pm and they hadn't had lunch and yet Hannah was still here listening to Sebastian ramble on about Kalos history.

Edward came in through the door."Seb?"

"Yeah?"Sebastian replied

"Shifts over"

Sebastian stood up then bowed at Hannah."Well we have had quite a pleasurable time haven't we your highness" With that Sebastian left.

"What we're you guys doing in hear?"clearly intrigued by the stack of books Irwin and Ross had collected.

"Researching Kalos history"Irwin said he sat on the floor with his legs crossed like child his nose in a book. Ross sat next to him also with her nose in a book. "Not reading your highness?"

"No what's the point I need to collect information and I have two bodyguards who won't leave me alone so this works."

Edward smiled. That was something her father would have said. "Sir have you had lunch?"

Only now Hannah had noticed her hunger. She shook her head. Edward brought in a servant with a sliver tray with a plate of sandwiches. Edward took of that plate and offered it to Hannah. Hannah took the plate and ate the sandwiches ravenously. Edward figured she would be hungry but not this hungry. Edward took the napkin out of his front pocket to wipe her face he bent over and leaned towards her. "What are you doing?"Hannah asked reluctantly.

"I was merely going to wipe your face"

"You're not my mother"

"No, but you are my responsibility"

Hannah didn't have the effort to make a come back to that. Edward wiped her face clean. "Edward"

Edward turned round after dismissing the servant.

"Where is my mother, my real one?"

Edward kneeled so his eyes were level with Hannah as she was sitting on a chair. "You don't know?"

Hannah shook her head.

He placed his hand on her knee. "If I tell you please don't hate me Sir ok?"

"Fine"

Side note:To clarify Lieutenant Ross is a woman and Lieutenant Irwin is a man.
