The Flowing Domain

Interactions are actions

Maids were crowded inside a huge castle. Seemingly, it was early in the morning, and no one knew what was happening and seemingly maids seemed excited. But for what? No one really knows, except the maids that were constantly chattering with each other. "Have you seen him? He is just so amazing, he has beautiful bright blue hair and straight posture, confidence flooding within him..." Maids practically drooled as they discussed a particular individual inside the huge castle. Castle was indeed huge and beautiful, it wasn't adequate at all. It was elite, covered with rich stones and diamonds, walls were filled with elegant pictures from richest painters and of course, the hallways were vast. At the beginning of the hallways, there was a grand staircase, and stairs were made out of thick bright blue diamonds, making people's shoes clink against them, which was satisfying to hear and feel. The castle in general, it was so clean, so tidy and organized. There were many, many rooms within the deep walls, being a maid, let alone being a royal felt too good to be in this humongous castle. Maids wore a specific attire, they had a maid clothing with black dress with a white apron over the black dress and a hairband or cap of some sort that was worn on the head of the maids. Their hair should always, I repeat, always be tied in a bun or a low ponytail. 

Soon enough, the chatter was broke down by the top butler which would squeeze himself in the crowd. "Alright, alright. Cut down the chatter, you're going to bother the princess and the queen. But princess should be awake right now, right?" The top butler asked as he looked at the maid that recently cleaned up princess' room. The maid would nod as she spoke up. "Yes, yes. I have recently cleaned up her room and saw her go downstairs to the garden. She didn't even eat her breakfast." Maid remarked, looking slightly worried since the princess would never skip her breakfast. She loved the cookies and andromedian deliciousness, as well as a sweet cup of herbal jasmine tea. "Oh, that's dreadful... We should send someone to give her a few snacks here and there, and who would be the lucky one to serve the princess today?" Maids seemed to be quite alarmed, they started looking at each other and giving some small glances, just trading some as they all sulked. No maid was ever in direct contact with a royal, the princess or the queen (which they especially don't want to encounter) the head maids and servants usually had the small talk, but maids; not once in their lifetime. 

The top butler looked around as he would notice that a pretty well dressed blue-haired male would start walking towards the crowd, his hands that were hidden in the white gloves. "I'd like to accompany the princess." The mysterious butler had a deep and stern voice which made everyone to turn around and look at him for a second. He had a suit on with white gloves, tidy combed dark blue hair with bright blue highlights, bright blue eyes and a gentle smile on his face. His pointy ears twitching as he waited for an answer from the dumbfounded maids and butler. 

"Aren't you...the knight trainer or something?" One of the maids asked as they arched a brow, and looked at the individual with a perplexed look. "I am. But I am also a butler. Which makes me princess' personal helper." Maids and the butler would look at each other, clearly more confused than ever. Who was this man? And all of a sudden he became princess' personal butler and guard. But he seemed familiar, so much more familiar. "You do remind me of someone...I feel like your father was working here right? As a knight trainer and also the queen's personal butler.." The butler remarked, crossing his hands as he eyed him. "That's right. Nico Hajime. He used to work here, then he left.. for personal reasons of course. I'm Kanno Hajime, nice to meet all of you." He said as he kept his slight although formal smile as he looked at everyone in the hallways. He did a small little bow, making all the maids blush, feeling like they were the princesses in this case. He rose back up to his level, pushing his hair back as one of his hands were over on his abdomen, and his other one was behind him. The head butler pushed his glasses back, clearing his throat at the process, narrow his eyes as he looked at the young man in front of him. "Okay, Kanno, since you are the son of Nico Hajime, you can meet the princess now. Although I should warn you, she is a little saddened from her father's disappearance, as you are very well aware." Butler said, slightly looking down, he seemed sad because of the king's disappearance that was years ago. The maids also rubbed the back of their nape, staying silent as their gazes shifted to the corners of the room; they all grieved king's death. Anyone would, of course. That mysterious king was kind and cunning, anything a person would want their king to be. Kanno simply nodded as he would part his lips to speak.
