"Do I have to?"

"It is only formal for a lady like you to attend."

Groaning, you buried yourself under the thick sheets of your canopy bed. "Victoria, it is way too early to do such." you protest, your voice muffled by the feather pillows.

"My Lady, it is almost noon. Now, I suggest you get dressed and not keep Alois waiting." You waited until Victoria, your maid, left the room. Reluctantly, you rolled yourself out of the bed and onto the lush carpet.

"Well, if Mister Alois Trancy is so smart, why doesn't he wait until after three P.M. to schedule an invite?" you growl, marching to your closet. You chose a navy dress with a white high collar and white ruffles at the waist. Hastily, you slipped on a black peacoat style cardigan.

Now for the shoes.

Huffing and trying as fast as you can to get dressed, you slipped on matching navy socks with black lace on the ankles.

You chose your best black shoes, and fitted it on. Buckling the buckle around your ankle, you stood and rushed out of the door.

Your heels made a muffled sound against the carpet as you ran as fast as you could down the corridor. You abruptly stopped at the staircase and slid down the mahogany banister.

As you reached the landing, you jumped off and your shoes hit the marble with a loud clack. Your butler, Matthew, stood in the dining room as you sprinted in. He held a gold pocket watch, watching the hands tick.

"Lucy! Anabelle!" you barked, sliding into a chair at the dark cherry table. Two maids rushed up to you with a brush and numerous ribbons. They tugged at your (h/c) locks as you wolfed down your breakfast in the most graceful way possible.

Matthew and Victoria watched you eat and the two maids attending to your thick hair. Victoria grinned. "(y/n)'s getting very good at this.." Victoria remarked. Matthew nodded, keeping his eyes on the watch.

"Done!" Lucy and Anabelle say in unison. You stood up, finishing the last bite, and holding your chin up high. Anabelle tied a navy ribbon around your neck as a finishing touch, and you gulped down the last of your food.

Then, you examined your hair, patting the back of your head and feeling the curls. The front section of your hair was tied back with a ribbon.

"STOP THE CLOCK!" you gasped. Matthew's thumb hit the button and the hands stopped moving. "Seven minutes and twenty two seconds." he claimed. "Yes!" you said gleefully, high fiving Anabelle and Lucy. You had beat your best time by a full eight seconds!

"But, you get time added for the completely unladylike entrance down the banister. Ten seconds." You sunk defeatedly back into your chair. "Aww..." you said, dropping your happy, childish grin.

"Let's get a move on!" Victoria claimed, clapping her hands. Slowly, you rose form the chair. Even slower, you waked toward the giant doors of the mansion.

"Get a move on, or we'll add time to tomorrow." Victoria said. Picking up your pace and suddenly alert, you held the skirt of your dress so you wouldn't trip as you made your way into the mansion courtyard.

Matthew escorted you into the coach, then went to the front of the coach to control the reins. Victoria made her way in, sitting across from you. "Remind me why I'm going." you sighed.

"Alois' butler thought it'd be good for you and him to get to know each other."

"Why? It's not as if I'll be impressed by him." you growl. "A young lady like you needs to start communicating with the other nobles." Victoria chastised. "I have parents to do that for me." you protested.

"Yes, but as your position of an only child in the Evans family, your appearance would do good to your family's reputation. Plus, as you know already, your parents are very busy."

"I know..." you said in a depressed tone, gazing out of the window. Both of your parents were managing the booming family company, and you rarely saw them anymore.

"Look, we've arrived!" Victoria said excitedly. Warily, you looked out of the window on Victoria's side. What you supposed was the Trancy Manor stood facing the coach.

It was huge! Trying not to sound impressed, you said, "Not bad." It was roughly the same size of your manor, but it was elegant in a jaw-dropping style.

Victoria smirked. "You like it already," she teased. "Shut up." you snapped. Matthew opened the carriage doors, and you took his hand, stepping out. Another butler stood aside to Matthew, and he bowed once he saw you.

"Welcome, Lady (y/n)." he says. "My name is Claude Faustus, the highness' butler." You curtsied politely. "It is a pleasure to meet you."

Claude escorted you, Victoria, and Matthew into the large estate. "Do forgive the young master, he tends to forget what time it is." said Claude. Victoria nudged you. "Remind you of anyone?"

You shot her a glare, turning on your heels to face her. "Alois!" Claude called up the grand staircase. "I'm coming, don't get your knickers in a twist!" barked a voice from upstairs.

You contained a giggle. A blonde haired boy with icy blue eyes hurried down the stairs in a long violet coat. Once he caught sight of you, he gasped and rushed down the stairs even faster if possible.

Alois jumped the last two steps, landing almost right in front of you. You stumbled back, slightly surprised. "Hi there!" He beamed childishly down at you. "Hello..." you shyly say.

"How old are you?"

"Thirteen." you answer blankly. Alois grinned at you, then at Claude. He snatched your wrist and marched over to the back gardens. "Hey!" you protest. "How would you like to play a game of hide and seek?" he asks.

You turn your head back at Victoria and Matthew, their smirks shrinking as Alois drags you further back into the manor. "Hide and seek? That's a children's game!" you retort.

"Aw, come on. A little fun never hurt anyone, right?" he said, stopping to turn and smile at you. You were taken aback by his answer. Was this lord serious? When you inspected closer, he was.

You couldn't possibly say no to him. Giving in, you sighed an "Okay." With that, Alois dragged you into the lush gardens where your first adventure would begin as actual friends.

With many more adventures to come.
