[Eric POV]
It's been a while since me and my family had to stay over in someone else's home, it was a bit hard to get used to but I was able sleep last night.
My father sent me to fetch Lily from her room for a rescheduled meeting. One of the butlers offers to lead me to her room. I nod accepting his offer since I am not familiar with the layout of the mansion. All the halls had elegant pillers attached the walls with pictures of past and present family members. There was a couple of family portraits with Lily's and her parents. All the pictures seemed really bland. None of the characters were smiling and Lily looked tense in all of them. At Lily's door stood two maids holding clothing and grooming supplies. Must be the maids sent to prepare her for the day.
They begin to chat, as I get closer I was able to hear more of the conversation.
"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." One of the maids remark.
Ah, useless gossip, what a pain. I go up to the tall door. I clear my throat and knock.
[Lily's POV]
"Whoever could that be?" Fredrick says as he walks towards the door. He opens the door hesitantly. Looking down he See's Eric.
"Ah, Sir Eric, I was informed of yours and the Young Mistresses meeting of this morning." Fredrick smiles politely.
"Yes, I am here to retrieve her. Is she ready?" Eric responds.
"What do you mean about a meeting? I already told you there is no need!" I remark. I have no idea what is going through his mind.
Eric steps closer to the door frame. Fredrick moves out of the way hesitantly.
Eric walks into my room and comes closer to my bed.
He picks his knee up over the bed with one leg still on the ground and uses one of his hands to grab my face.
"Your a stubborn one aren't you. Haven't i already told you my intentions? Didn't I tell you to cooperate? You don't want to make me upset." The boy smirks with an intimidating look in his eyes.
I gulp nervously trying to comprehend the situation.
"Sir Eric...." Fredrick mutters with an irritated look. "It would be splendid if you'd let go of Mistress." Fredrick's teeth were clinched and it seemed as if a vain was piping out of his forehead. He was clearly annoyed.
Eric stared at Fredrick for a bit and then smirked mischievously. He let me go and walked up to Fredrick.
"Get the messy girl ready. Make her presentable." Fredrick gives the boy a annoyed look as he exited the room
