The Butler and the Schnee

1 ~ That Butler, Orientation ~

"... and that is why I commend you all to give it your all during your stay in Atlas!" James Ironwood, Headmaster of Atlas Academy and General of the Altesian Military, commanded atop of his lungs.

All around the world of Remnant, the four Huntsman Academies, where aspiring Huntsmen and Huntresses learn and prosper to combat the Grimm.

Altas Academy in particular, also served as the headquarters to it's Kingdom's military. Hence the reason why orientation was held early in the morning, it was following military protocols. Even then, it was considered second to Beacon Academy in terms of accomplished huntsmen and huntresses. But despite this, it was still an accomplished academy on its own right because of its advantage in technology.

Including today's speech, Winter had heard this same speech for around the thousandth time already, but just for this one was the only one where she felt restless. She could hear some of the female students within the crowd whispering about her butler, who took it upon himself to stand a few feet away from her to maintain professionalism.

She would have made a mental note of the female students who were speaking in midst of General Ironwood's speech, to give them a suitable punishment later on. But she also heard whispers amongst the female cohort of the 'hot butler', referring to her butler, as well as the 'perfect spec ops', clearly referring to her, being together.

When Ironwood dismissed the assembly and allowing the new students to attend to their first classes, Winter and (Y/N) exited the auditorium to attend to Winter's schedule for the day. As they walked by through the hallways of Atlas Academy, the female students consistently whispered of the two of them being together. Winter fidgeted in place for every small talk she heard of her butler and her, she didn't need to turn to see her butler smirking, who clearly was taking enjoyment of her reactions.

Winter faked a cough to grab her butler's attention, with clear intent to do anything else and not hear anymore talks. "What's next in the criteria?"

"Of course, my Lady." (Y/N) responded. From atop his head, having memorised Winter's timetable for the day down to the T, he stated. "Next before we meet up with the graduates for possible recruitment, we must see Lady Weiss off before her flight to Beacon Academy at 11AM sharp."

"Ah, that's today? Let's head off." Winter said, ordering her butler to lead them to the bullheads.

11:00AM.

Once master and servant arrived, Weiss Schnee was still loading her luggage onto her bullhead, which directly leads to Beacon Academy.

Weiss was also the current heiress of the Schnee Dust Company after Winter abdicated her inheritance rights. Why Weiss was the one to inherit the company instead of the first born son, Whitley Schnee? It may be due to Weiss being the elder sibling, but who would know why Jacques decided on Weiss.

"Oh! Winter! You came to see me off?" Weiss yelled out in midst of her luggage loading; meeting up face to face with her sister. Immediately after, her expression dropped from one of enthusiasm to one of disinterest once she saw (Y/N) along with her sister. "And ugh, (Y/N)."

"A good morning to you, Lady Weiss." (Y/N) responded, bowing in response.

Weiss did not trust her elder sister's butler, and for good reason too. He appeared out of nowhere and suddenly he was her beloved sister's personal butler. She could not find any past details about him too no matter how much she tried to dig, which roused even more suspicions from the younger Schnee.

Even if Weiss could trust her sister to fend for herself should her butler do anything suspicious, his choice to stick with her sister would've been more then enough to take back her decision to study in Beacon instead of Atlas. The gossip between the female students she heard during Ironwood's speech irritated her to no end as well.

"Hrmp. I don't trust you (Y/N), nor will I ever." Weiss stated, although the Butler easily towered over her Heiress, it proved amusing for someone of such short stature to show such face.

"Your words wound me, Lady Weiss." (Y/N) stated while raising his hand towards his chest, acting in exaggeration as if he was hurt. He had heard his master's younger sister stating her distrust to him many times beforehand, but for every time he brushed it off out of amusement.

"And I don't trust you being around Winter when I'm not here."

"There's no need of concern, I have 'no' interest with my mistress."

"Wha--!" Weiss stuttered. "How dare y--."

"Now, Weiss. No need for hostilities, maintain your composure." Winter interrupted, separating her butler from her sister. "Now are you sure you don't want to study in Atlas? Whatever you choose, I'll give my upmost support."

Weiss shook her head in disagreement. "I want to stay as far away from father for a while."

After Weiss loaded her last suitcase of luggage onto the bullhorn, once again she faced her sister for the final time. "Well, I'll be heading off now Winter."

Winter nodded. "Take care Weiss. Prove father wrong and succeed in Beacon."

Weiss reached out for a hug from her sister, she complied; knowing it may be a while until they may meet once again. A sincere moment between siblings, ones whom cared for each other, unlike the rest of family. When the sisters separated, Weiss entered the bullhead.

It's engines begun to run, and moments later it took off into the sky. As the bullhead begun to fly to its destination, Weiss waved at her sister, which Winter returned in in kind.

When the bullhead became too far to see for the human eye, Winter heard a snicker came from her butler. "Not such an Ice Queen after all are you, my Lady?"

"Shut it (Y/N)."

Sup, been a while.

Huh, there's a lot of popularity with the Prologue.

Either everyone in the RWBY fandom was more desperate for a Winter book then I thought, or this was an interesting idea.

Regardless, I've already written myself into a wall. No idea what to write next, leave some ideas down.
