[Lily's Pov]
The words linger in my ears: "Care to cooperate?"
'What could he mean?! Was he challenging me?! Maybe his parents are desperate? I'll just have to scare him away!'
I stuff my face into my pillow. 'Why does this have to be so frustrating!'
The Next Morning
"Mistress! Time to Prepare for the day!" The opening of the curtains blind me. My hair is ruffled, my dress is covered in wrinkles, and my eyes were taken over by a haze.
I sit up slowly and rub my eyes Once my vision became clear I come to see Fredrick, my personal Butler, with a silver tray.
Fredrick is a tall thin man. He has big pointy ears and gray hair. He also has a mustache the I find hilarious since he curls the ends.
Fredrick has been taking care of me ever since I was born since my parents are always busy.
Fredrick steers a cart near my bed, he sits the tray on the cart which consists of tea, pastries, jam, and many other breakfast foods I enjoy. "...Thank you." I mutter sleepily.
Two of the maids outside of the door begin to chat. I don't think they realized how loud they were being.
"They say that Sir Fredrick has been taking care of the Young Mistress since she was a child, must be a pain." One of the maids gossip.
"Really??? She's such a troublesome girl, I can't see how he can stand to be around her, let alone get her to behave." She remarks.
I pause while sipping my tea.
'They're not wrong, I am troublesome. I can't see how Fredrick puts up with me as well' I try to stop thinking this way and continue to drink my tea. It doesn't bother me.
Someone outside of the door clears there throats and knocks.
