Welcome to the first chapter of Be My Butler. May I serve you some tea, madam? If only we all had handsome butlers from Be My Princess but I worry that I won't be able to do any work since I'd stare at their faces all the time XD I don't know why but I love the classiness of butlers…the suit, the smooth actions and the way they talk and are obedient. I think it's interesting since a lot of the guys I met so far just don't act like that in real life…Except maybe Tom Hiddleston 3 Okay enough ranting…Let's begin! ^^

Soft, beautiful pink petals fell slowly to the ground and the sun shone brightly emitting a pink reflective glow around me. In front, the fountain bursting forth with water that glistened in the sunlight. To each side of me, a rainbow of assorted flowers beat slowly in time with the wind. A gentle wind blew and the trees breathed a sigh that echoed across the whole garden. My hair flew out of place which I quickly moved behind my ear.

I sat in the patio of the garden of Nobel Michel Castle enjoying the scenery and reading from an old, leathery, red textbook called 'History of Altaria'. I looked up at the grand building and it's astounding architecture that had lasted for hundred of years. Nobel Michel.

I began to start reminiscing about the past year and all the events that had occurred: meeting the princes, the ball, my apartment burning down last year, Nobel Michel inviting me to live here and meeting Zain. I felt awful for having to stay here for free but Mike didn't seem willing for me to leave and gave me some excuse that I was here to keep him company. Though I actually thought he told me to stay here because a certain 'somebody' asked him to. I smiled remembering the adventures Zain and I went through…the missing royal stamp, meeting his father and the rebellion of the no man's land. I only have a couple of months before I graduate and yet here in this moment I felt blessed. The sun shone brightly in the sky and I felt like a flower absorbing the heat it emitted. My muscles relaxed and I felt the stress slowly seep away as I closed my eyes.

"Your tea is ready, milady"

I glanced up to see a familiar pair of mischevious, green emerald eyes looking back at me. A man that I both hated and loved at the same time. I loved him. Yet I hated him because he made with his simple actions, he could quite simply send me into cardiac arrest (although I would not mind the mouth-to-mouth) and give me an inability to think like a duck. In addition to that, he was quite capable of controlling himself so easily.

"Zain. Thank you."

He poured the tea carefully and swiftly prepared my tea. I gently lifted it up to my lips and tasted a sweet yet bitter taste. I gave him my best smile.

"It tastes perfect"

He placed his hand on his chest and bowed.

"I'm glad it is suited to your taste"

I took another sip and then narrowed my eyes looking suspiciously at him.

"W-Were you spying on me just now?"

"It is in my best interest to be aware of Miss Anna's presence at all times"

"So…You were?!"

"I do not use the word spying. That would imply that I am looking without your knowledge. I was merely admiring the garden that you so happened to be sitting in"

I stared at him and looked away exasperated inside. Isn't that the same thing?! He was totally spying on me. That closet pervert and he doesn't even realise it. He's always doing this ever since that time I got …I guess I don't mind it that much since I get to see him so often…Okay! Stop ranting.

"Are you free right now?", I asked nonchalantly.

"I am here to cater to your needs, Miss Anna".

"Then…Please come and join me"

I gestured to the patio garden seat next to me. He looked momentarily surprised before giving me another bow.

"As you wish…Miss Anna"

He sat down poured himself a cup of tea. A couple of minutes passed as we sat in silence admiring and relaxing in the moment. I rested my head in one of my hands and smiled. A pink petal slowly fell landing into my hand.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?", I asked.

"Yes...it is..."

I looked over at Zain. He was staring at me and smiling gently.

"I meant..."

Zain leaned forward holding my face gently. I sat up surprised before becoming lost as he gently kissed my lips. Softly, slowly and bit gently on my lips. It felt hot and I began to feel overwhelmed. His smell. My hands lost in his soft black hair. I stopped thinking. And almost as quickly as it came, he sat back leaving me in a shocked position and wanting more. He sipped his tea. His eyes gleamed mischievously and grinned.

Damn it. Why did you stop? N-No not even that…Why did you even start? Now I want more…and he knows it. That evil butler…

"I hate you sometimes", I muttered as I sat there sulking.

"And why is that, Miss Anna?"

"Because", I blushed," Here I am losing all my senses and you sit there so calmly"

"A butler has to be able to carry out tasks efficiently and without distraction"

"Yet you seek to make Miss Anna lose control of herself. Ho Ho"

We looked round to see Mike standing there chuckling at the sight of us. Zain stood up and bowed quickly and I followed suite.

"Forgive me. It was inappropiate-"

Mike held a hand to stop him.

"Ah...I do not mind your extracurricular activities that you do in your free time. It seems to make Miss Anna very happy"

I blushed embarrassed.

"Oh Nobel Michel..."

"But I profoundly apologise Zain, I have some important matters to discuss with Miss Anna. So I might ask you to do your other duties whilst I have a little chat with her. I will call you back to spend more time with Miss Anna after I have finished talking to her"

Zain looked momentarily confused and suspicious but then replied,

"As you wish, Lord Michel"

Zain bowed again and left.

Lord Michel waited until Zain was completely out of view and then sat down.

"Lord Michel. It's rare for you to talk to me about private matters. Is it something about me staying here?"

"Miss Anna. I have no problems with you staying here. But I do have a message from your father".

"My father?"

What could that old man call me for? He hasn't contact me in 15 years.

Nobel Michel looked at me with a blank expression before holding up a red envelope encrusted with a royal seal.

I inhaled surprised and My eyes widened. I looked at Nobel Michel in shock clutching the letter.

"W-wait…this letter. W-wait…W-what does this mean?"

It couldn't be. It's can't be. Why would this happen?!

Nobel Michel bowed gently.

"It means…Miss Anna, you have been chosen to become Princess Anastacia Kravinska Mariana Xerxes, heir to the Kingdom of Xerxes".

Boooooooom. Bombshell. Sorry my dear readers, you'll have to wait till next week to find out what happens next. Until then, much appreciate any reviews you have. Motivates me to write faster and better.
