Purple Villa

"Rather?" he smiled. "Kira handles the foreign relations. The federation is not our business, Anisette. Not until we are asked for our assistance. We'll find out tomorrow. Get some rest."

She giggled. "Okay. Good night, Zane!" she said.

And tomorrow came~

Zared had returned by 12, and was sleeping in his bed. He was up by 6:00 am, got dressed, and put his wig on. He yawned, rubbed his eyes, and finally woke up. He practiced his posture and walk in the mirror.

Zane entered Zared's room. "Going out of the villa's compound without permission, footman?"

She continued to sleep~ :3

Zared brushed his wig. "Whatever do you mean?"

"And now the footman denies his misconduct," Zane shook his head. "Don't play dumb with me."

sleepy~ :3 sleep.

Zared looked at Zane. "Just making sure you didn't mistake me for a criminal."

He bowed. "My most sincere apologies. I know it is not proper conduct, but im used to masquerading during the night. I've done it since forever. Once again, I apologize."

sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepy~ sleep sleep :3

"It doesn't matter to me if that's your previous lifestyle," he said. "You're a footman; a servant of this Household. Don't do anything that'll tarnish its noble name."

"I shall do as you said. but, with permission, may I do so every once and again? I assure you, I do nothing that would tarnish this households name. If not, then I shall stop such activities."

sleepidy sleep xD

"Look, you're a previous member of the Cult. You haven't done anything to prove yourself trustworthy, as you said, and now you ask permission for something so suspicious?" he raised an eyebrow. "Do not think me so lax," he said. "You will be punished for this."

Zared nodded. "I understand. I am sorry for even asking."

OHHH SLEEPING :3

Zared closed his eyes and thought for a second. He opened his eyes and looked at Zane. "What is my punishment?"

"You'll know soon enough," he said. "But for now, prepare for the ball."

Anisette's eyes fluttered open, not fully waking her. "Still... so sleepy," she muttered, not wanting to get out of bed.

Zared nodded, understanding.

"Is there anything else I should practice before the ball?"

She didn't want to get up =))

Zane shrugged. "Practice walking around the villa till lunch time, for now," he said.

"Okay." Zared replied. Making sure his wig and suit were on good, he made his way outside and practiced his walk around the Villa.

"Most people would see lunch as relaxing. I see it as a chore, and a challenge." He said to himself. He laughed to himself. "Not that its not to be expected of a footman."

A knightmare smashed through the wall of the back garden. Alessia supposed she should have been worried about property damage, but didn't let that stop her as she piloted the half-fixed frame across the back yard. She knew someone would come running at the noise, she just hoped it was someone useful, as she came to a halt next to the villa.

She sat right up on her bed, surprised at the loud noise. She stood up and looked outside the window and saw a knightmare at their backyard. "Wow~ I wonder..." she blinked but grinned. "Aw, so cute," she said then shaking her head. "I mean! Who's that??" she asked herself.
