§·Your POV·§

I couldn’t believe it.. The dream felt so real.. Like it was reality. 

“Okay I’m up, I will get dressed. Now please get out of my room!” I said at him while climbing out of bed.

He nodded and walked out my room, closing the door behind him. I walked over to my dresser to see what clothes to put on. I noticed the maid uniform wasn’t there but there was a plain black dress. I took my clothes off and then put it on me. I noticed it was very comfortable, and very agile. 

I opened the door and walked out the room and closed the door behind me. I saw Sebastian's eyes light up a bit. 

“(Y/N), Black suits you very well.” He said to me as he started walking me to the Earl’s office. 

“Thank you.” I said as I blushed a tiny bit.

We then made our way to the Young Master’s office and he opened the door for me. I walked up to his desk cautiously. He looked at me and annoyance and sighed.

“So, Sebastian, told me you came to The (L/N) manor to collect me after I was kidnapped. Is that correct?” He said in a stern voice.

“Yes but I fai-” My sentence was cut off by Sebastian interrupting me. 

“Yes, She fought very bravely at that.” He said while looking at the Earl.

“Very well then.” The Young Earl stated.

“(Y/N) I would like you to act as my guard, You start today. Right now. Is that clear?” He said blankly.

“Wait what?!? Today? You mean your hiring me?! I don’t know if I ca-” He interrupted me before I could even finish.

“Well, You're not up for a challenge? Here I was thinking you're a daring person. I guess I was wrong.” He said with a playful smirk on his face.

“I- Fine. I will act as your guard.” I stated in annoyance. 

“Very well. Later today Sebastian will show you the places I want you to guard.” He said while looking at me in the eye.

“You are dismissed.” He said motioning for me to leave his office.

I nodded and walked to the door and Sebastian opened it for me to let me out.

“Thank you..” I whispered softly and walked out the door.

He closed the door behind me. I started walking off to the garden. I couldn't believe it. I was now the Earl’s Guard. I sighed. The one who I was supposed to kill. And now my family knows.

“What am I to do…?” I said softly in a distressing voice.

“To do about what?” I heard a voice say. It sounded like a teenage boy actually.

I turned around to see a guy standing behind me. He had short, messy, strawberry-blond hair, some of his hair was clipped back with five red bobby pins. Two on his right and three on his left. He wore a plain top with red piping around the collar, and plaid pants, along with black knee-high boots. He also wore a straw hat on the back of his neck.

“Oh- I- I-it’s nothing!” I said nervously. 

“Oh okay Miss!” He said back with a smile on his face.

“My name’s Finnian! I’m the gardener here! And you are…?” He said extending his hand for me to shake.

“O-oh My name is (Y/N), And I'm the Earl’s new guard!” I said, shaking his hand. 

“Oh cool! Well I look forward to working with you, Miss! But isn’t your last name (L/N)?” He said with a confused look on his face.

“U-um Yes…” I said, kinda nervous.

“Well why work here? Your family is practically royalty! And very well known throughout England!” He said.

“I guess I just wanted a change of.. Scenery…” I said as I started to laugh it off. 

“Well Okay.. I look forward to working with you, Miss!” He said and started to go off back to his work. 

This is bad.. If Finnian is wondering why I’m here because of my family.. And our riches.. Then what will the public think?! My family may not respect me, but I don’t think it's right to ruin their social image. And my social image. People might think we're in a huge debt to the Young Earl. Or.. They could find out why my family is so close to the queen.. And the royal family… I sighed and started to walk back into the manor. I saw Sebastian at the door that I was walking back to. He looked at me playfully, and chuckled. 

“I see you met finnian.” He said and chuckled again.

“Yeah… There is only one problem.. He knows I’m from the (L/N) family..” I said, chuckling nervously.

“Well I think that’s because you told him. Anyway, How is that a problem?” He said and looked at me curiously. 

“Well, He asked me why I was here, because my family is very well known for our riches! What will people think; When I’m out in public with the Earl, as his guard?” I said to him explaining why this may be a bad thing.

“Oh. I see the problem here.. Well I will have to see what I can do about that.” He said.

“What do you mean by that? It's not like you can make me look like someone else.. Overnight!” I said to him, confused.

“Well you’d be surprised how much one can get in a night.” He smirked and opened the door for me to go inside, then he walked away from me.

That man is something else… He leaves me wondering, What even goes on in his brain? How could he give me a whole makeover in one night?! Maybe I shouldn’t question it and- My thoughts were interrupted by my stomach growling. I sighed, and started to make my way to the kitchen. I haven't eaten all day. I guess I should start taking better care of myself. I wouldn’t want to get sick.

I opened the doors of the kitchen only to see something… mortifying…
