When Virginia let go of Genevieve's hand, it felt like it had been twisted into a pretzel. "I'm afraid I can't afford a horse, milady. And besides, animals don't seem to take very kindly to me. 'Cower at the site of me, yes they do. Can't imagine why." She poked a finger on her forehead as...

"I never doubted you for a moment, milady." The old butler's feline ear flicked. "I know you have much on your little hands but I believe in you." He began turning and walking away, gesturing the youngest lady of the estate to follow her. They walked for a few minutes, not taking notice of the...

She was curious. Perfect. It was good that she found out first. It would be a headache off her psyche if she shared a clandestine thought with someone "I hired a new made a few months back. Her name is Virginia. You might not have seen her but she's hard to miss. Not very smart, but very strong...

Alfred nodded. This was worse than he thought. She was going through some very complex emotions and didn't have the faculty to address them. Luckily, he had planned for this. "Well milady, I think I might have something lift your spirits." He looked down the hallway to make sure the coast was...

With nothing left to do, Alfred collapsed into the form of a cat. His burden was far from lifted, but it did feel ever so lighter. In this smaller form, he could observe everything with greater insight. His feline brows furrowed when he happened across Genevieve. She must have ease dropped on...

"I beg to differ, milady." Alfred stroked his prayer beads, walking towards the door. "After five generations of employ. You are more likely to sprout wings and have tea with your ancestors in heaven before you make that kind of mistake under my watch. It is my responsibility as a servant of the...

Cecilia's words hit him like a bolt of lightning. He had done his lady disservice. His eyes softened, finding solace in the window view. It was rather scenic. "Cecilia." He dropped the honorific. "I served this family, served you, because it brought my life meaning. The debt I owed to the...

Alfred nodded. There was a resigned look on his face. His life had fallen apart once. Could it happen again? He was not afraid anymore. He was tool old to be afraid. Instead, the frustration that came from the situation manifested itself into something else. Anger. Just another check mark in a...

"I am a hypocrite, lady Cecilia" Alfred explained, but he had a feeling she already understood. "I could live to be a thousand years old and spend every second serving the Solberg family. But I can never be proud of it." It was easier for him to talk now. He found his stride again. "How can I...

"I don't-" He threw is arms into the air at a loss. "I spent my entire life serving the Solbergs. Your father. His father. His mother. Her father. That is five generations of Solbergs!" He realized how uncouth he was being. "Lady Cecilia... My father was a terrible man. He made me miserable. He...

He made it this far. No point in turning back now. "The family that runs Shah and Partners..." He looked back at Cecilia. "I came to England 73 years ago to run away from them. They are..." Alfred sighed again, it was a noticeably shakier sigh. "They are my family. The head will be making an...

Alfred sighed. His gamble at bringing to the observatory had failed. That girl was always straight to the point. "There is a company called 'Shah and Partners' in East Asia. They deal with the same products as Solbergs: Alchemical goods and the like. They have been growing at an exponential rate...

Alfred lead Cecilia to the estate's observatory. A maid was fiddling around with the large telescope out of curiosity, but dropped everything when the two arrived. Normally the old man would have scolded the staff for touching things they weren't supposed to touch, but he made an exception here...

Alfred, shook his head. "Save your confections for the guest, Ms. Jazmine." The retired butler knew the chef since she was a child. He knew the whole staff when they were children. He always loved children. They were as care free as an autumn leaf dancing to the rythm of the wind. Jazmine in...

"Apologies Master Julius." Alfred stroked his beard, willing his shadows to aid him up. Either the man had gotten heavier, or Alfred had gotten weaker. His money was on the later. "As a servant of the estate, it is my duty and privilege to ensure your security. I just didn't anticipate Lord...

"The pleasure is all mine, Lady Alannah." Out of every lord in this generation, Alfred worried about her the most. She was still finding her place in the world after all, something that took the other children not much time at all to figure out. Some days she was happy to see him. Other days...

Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi - Omega - Astra - Human Form @WolfOfProphecys @Kazig The ancient Omega nodded at the Alpha. He wasn't part of the pack, but he was not vain enough to ignore such order. "Behind me children, I l will lead the way." He hurried down the hallway, as fast as his legs...

Spotted. And so very soon... Alfred knew he was losing his touch, but it might also be that Klarion was just very perceptive. He had it in him to be a great leader, but could never be asked to apply himself. Then again, the boy was content where he was at. Many Solbergs before him were the same...

Alfred stepped out of the carriage. The retired butler looked up at the illustrious estate that he called home for so long. He had been gone for a few days now, running some much important errands. He was in a worse mood than usual as he had some very unpleasant news for the head of the estate...

Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi - Omega - Astra - Human Form @WolfOfProphecys @Euaion @VioletShadow Al looked at the painkillers supplied by Niri. He had stalk piled quite a stash, never really bothering to use it. He never asked for the healer to make them for him, she just had pride in her...
