The Watchdog and the Lap Cat

Chapter III

Recap:

I rolled my violet eyes and sheathed my katana, though keeping an untrusting eye on the male who walk in front of me.

My eyes stayed on him as he knocked on a large white door.

"My Queen, Count Acilia has arrived...."

My teeth chewed on my lips as I heard the reply.

Well here it goes....

ACACIA P.O.V.

I walked into the room with a smile on my face.

"Dear Acacia!!!" I was quickly engulfed into a hug, my face pushed into a chest.

"Your Majesty..." I was able to mumbled out, even when my face was completely covered.

The elderly lady pulled away as she gave me kisses on each of my cheeks.

"Look at you!! You've grown so much since the last time I have saw you!" Queen Victoria happily chirped as she examined me closer.

"My, the similarities between you and your parents is astonishing, it won't be long until you would have men lining up in front of your mansion asking for your hand in marriage!"

My mouth twitched as I forcefully smiled at the powerful person in England. At the corner if my eyes, I noticed Ciar chuckling into his hand, as he gave me a amused look.

I gritted my teeth as I gave the queen an closed eyed smile.

That cat is enjoying this too much...

"Oh dear, what am I doing making you stand!" Victoria gushed as she ushered me towards a table filled with finger foods and tea, "Come here my child, I had all these food prepared for us." The gray haired female quickly pushed me into a soft cushioned chair and started to pile a plate up with food. When no more food could be added, she placed the plate in front of me and smiled.

"Eat child, you seem skinny as a stick!" I sighed at the queens pushiness but did not refuse the elegant sweets in front of me.

When I noticed her pick up a tea cup, I send Ciar a look, silently commanding him.

With long elegant strides he stood behind the queen and softly stopped her movement.

"Please your majesty, let me do the work, my mistress was very excited to come and see you today, please enjoy your conversation," Ciar charmingly stated as he professionally started to pore the tea.

"Oh my, child, Ciar is magnificent as always, always so proper and charming," Victoria giggled as she took a sip of her tea that Ciar pored.

I gave my butler a small smile and nodded in thanks. The shaggy haired male lightly bowed before walking towards me, standing behind where I sat.

I brought a cookie to my mouth and bit into the sweet, chewing on it slowly.

Though I stopped when I saw the queen look at me seriously, "Child, I do believe you know about the multiple murder cases...."

Slightly amused, I nodded before picking my own cup of tea and sipping it. Immediately I recognized the tea as one from my company.

"The murder of the prostitutes, I've heard the police and them call the murder, Jack the Ripper," I state the information I know.

I leaned back into my chair playing with one of my many curled violet strands of hair.

My amethyst eyes examined the older woman's worried looks.
