They were led to quite the sightly Manor. Although it was easy to take note that it was not nearly as big as Duke Constantine Rousseau's Villa, it was still all too glamorous for Elizabeth.There were rolls of flowers that led up to the large, black gate of the house.Two men stood in front of the mansion. Elizabeth's stream blue eyes eyed the sigil printed on the chest of the armor. A red shark fighting for dominance with white one.These men were odd. They were aloof, and menacing, but Elizabeth could still tell that they were not Werewolves perhaps just highly trained individuals."Come, Please." Said Oliver already walking towards the Manor.The men descended their eyes down on Oliver in front of them. "37. Welcome back, the butler seeks your presence." The man with black pupils said to Oliver.Had it not been for spending too much time with high ranking Werewolves Elizabeth would have shuddered.Oliver nodded. "Come, Sir and Madam." "Wait…. Who do you have with you?" The guard w
“And here we are, the second parlor,” Butler Clement said before stepping to the side.Oliviér didn't have any impression of the luxurious Manor but Elizabeth was engrossed by the impressive wooden door with a brass, shark shaped knocker. The butler opened the door with a small bow. The sight that greeted both Oliviér and Elizabeth was a kneeling girl.The girl was nearly as young as Oliver. What was actually surprising was that she was not as malnourished and dirty as Oliver. She had light skin for one, and looked to be dressed in a nice pair of clothes.Elizabeth believed she was something like a handmaiden? Though she was the prettiest handmaiden Elizat had ever seen, granted Elizabeth had not met many handmaidens.The girl was kneeling to a lady. The lady was lean. It was not an exaggeration, for Elizabeth could see the drastic dip in her collar bone. The lady was clad in a smothering red ankle length red dress that enunciated her lean stature.The lady had curly red hair that em
A man stared out his window with a glass of red wine in his hand. Classical music played smoothly as he stared aimlessly out the window. He ran a hand through his silver curls while taking a sip on the wine which was as thick as blood.A lone look filled his face, and his hand squeezed the glass cup hard. Suddenly the sound of glass breaking resounded around the room. "Oh, oh, oh no…. Master Rousseau I— I don't know what happened-"A small face girl knelt down on the ground and scrambled to pick up the shards of glass fallen on the ground.Someone barged into the spacious room, breaking the serenity that filled the area. The butler didn't even flinch in his cold expression upon meeting the scene of the small faced girl scrambling around. The butler Marcel simply blinked and said. "Such a foolish mistake…. Has it been too long since you were disciplined?"Constantine didn't bother looking back at the commotion in his room. "Master Constantine…. I apologize- I-"The girl cried out, try
As if he had not caught everyone off guard enough he continued by saying. "I know you murdered your husband."The Lady looked like she had worked very hard to not choke on her saliva from Oliviér's words.She finally managed to gather herself back, and straighten her slouching back once again with a small smile on her face."My Lord, what do you mean?"'Is he here to investigate the death of Mallory?' Adrienne was confused by Oliviér's words. 'But how can a merchant be worthy of attracting the hand of a master detective?'Oliviér tapped his fingers upon his knee pad, with nothing but a resting expression on his face as he said. "I needn't repeat myself again, it is of no cause. Miss Buford, I would like for you to narrate the manner of your husband's death to me."Adrienne's poised figure nearly cracked from those words. "My Lord, is this an investigation?"Oliviér let out a small life lackluster of a humor when heard before glancing towards Elizabeth and shaking his head as if making
Truly a man entered the room. The man oozed of a different air from Oliviér. When Oliviér entered the room he sucked the life out of the room, leaving only the sour and scholarly air.As thick boots hit the floor, it left thudding noises in it's wake. The moment such a huge person entered the room instead of sucking the life out of the room he left only a domineering aura that spread throughout the room.Elizabeth's eyes widened. Hair that was a fine blonde, so short that it was trimmed along his forehead. Thick muscles building up his buff mass, and red eyes. He was wearing what looked like a jacket built from a cattle's skin— leather. His trousers were built the same as well, and his shirt was a plain white that showed too much chest skin.The dressing to, Elizabeth was strange. She had seen Commoners put on anything in the name of shielding their nakedness if they had nothing to wear, but Elizabeth had never seen this style before.She was frankly bewildered and intrigued. She wan
The Duke's Mansion this time was strange. They seemed to be noises coming from the parlor before they even reached the parlor."It seems the Duke has guests." Oliviér said when hearing the noises.Elizabeth who was curious asked "Well then, should we go meet them sir?" Her eyes even sparkled as she asked.Oliviér looking down at her could not help the wonderment he felt. Was it truly that sometimes she did not think straight? Oliviér shook his head, raising a hand up at Elizabeth. "Do I truly need to take you over to Yabba Left mental asylum? It would be a shame if yet again another assistant had to be checked in there."Elizabeth bit the corner of her inner mouth, looking away from him, then did she think…. What did he mean by yet again another assistant?"Besides I was merely thinking aloud, you are returning to your room, you are not coming anywhere with me."Elizabeth cocked her head to the side. Why did Oliviér always aim to confuse her? What was the point of going back to her
Night had come once again in Hara Nation. Elizabeth stared at the ceiling with wide open eyes unable to catch any sleep. She had known that coming to Hara meant quite the change for her but who really would have thought that it would have been so eventful.For the first part, being placed as Oliviér Fóix's assistant did not come to her mind. She was optimistic about the job but she also remembered other Commoners who had gone to Hara Nation to find work but were met with alienation and degradation, that even with the proper certificates they would be unable to find work.Never had she thought her identity as a Myriad would propel her into such a viable position on her first day in Hara. Although speaking of Oliviér Fóix he was the handful.Thinking of her Superior, the rush of color that appeared on her face could not be helped. She did not turn around but she could feel his presence very close to her, so much so that his clothes brushed against her back.She nodded in response. "How
Making her way to the parlor she was met with several voices. She popped her head into the parlor and was met with the sight of Lord Rousseau, Jamie, and Lord Fóix seated around.There seemed to be an ongoing discussion and when Elizabeth turned her neck she realized that Sebastién was just leaning against the wall, a small distance between them and the blonde man.Oliviér's eyes moved from Jaime, finding their way towards the pink haired girl that was peeping from the parlor's entrance.Oliviér was dressed in a dark attire, and this time around his hair was tied into a loose ponytail, one that still relented to his front hair playing on his face.What was surprising to Elizabeth was that everyone in the room was dressed in professional attire as if they were suited for travels. Well it was everyone besides Sebastién who was wearing something similar to what he had on yesterday except this one was in a darker shade of brown."Good morning," Elizabeth greeted, attracting the attention
