Drocell's Heart Chapter 1
It was a peaceful afternoon at the Tear's family estate. The young master, Amulet Tears, was about to have her afternoon tea in the mansion's fairly large library, which means she was thinking of something to do, or she just enjoyed the view of the garden from the library window. Amulet sat straight in her chair, her legs crossed and back leaned against the pillow that was placed behind her for comfort. The young master was a proper lady but her appearance was not of her personality.
The doors of the library opened "I've brought your tea and your tart" a tall slim lady said as she wheeled in the trolley that carried the mentioned items "What is the tea for today?" she asked the lady as she looked over to the trolley. "Today's tea would be a subtle apple tea, served with a chocolate truffle tart" the lady says, pouring some tea into a teacup and placing it onto the small table that was in front of Amulet, she also placed the tart on the table, along with a small fork that was fit for the tart.
The lady was who served the tea was wearing a butler's outfit that was in a form of a dress, she had long charcoal blue hair that was fixed in a braided bun, her eyes were the color of golden ore. The lady was Amulin Aerhart, she was no ordinary butler, but a demon butler.
"Mistress, please refrain from getting the sweet on your dress" Amulin scolded the young master. Amulet was a true lover of anything sweet, especially chocolate; she loved chocolate so much that she sometimes forgets her manners when she eats. The mistress just huffed, slowing down her pace as she ate the tart, though it was finished rather quickly. After taking the last crumb had disappeared, Amulet took the cup of warm tea in her hands and took a sip "As good as ever" she complimented, licking her lips of the sweetness.
Amulin was about to leave the mistress to enjoy her tea, until she was called back "Yes mistress? What is it that you need?" she asked, making her way back to the young lady's side. "I have a task for you to complete" Amulet answered, handing the butler a small envelope "Please do complete the task before supper" the master says before dismissing Amulin to leave the room so she could enjoy her tea.
The butler read the contents of the envelope and understood what she had to do 'A visit to that mansion, rumored to be haunted by ghosts and living puppets' she thought as she made her way to the front door 'Sounds interesting' Amulin was gone from the mansion's grounds as soon as she exited the front door.
The large wooden doors creaked open as Amulin entered the large hall. The floors were dusty and there were dolls everywhere 'As I suspected, this place hasn't been touched since the visit of the queen's Black Dog' Amulin walked quietly through the halls, her heels making hollow sounds against the wooden floor. Once she reached an open room, she found an open window and an 'army' of dolls with broken necks on the floor 'this is definitely 'his' fault' she thought as she made her way to another open room, almost stumbling on something.
'A doll?" she asked herself, as she stepped over it and rolled it over so she could see what it was. Vibrant purple eyes met with her golden ones, making her step back "A human?" she assumed until she saw the split in it's head with stray coming out, which made her assumption false, but she had a strange feeling about this puppet... like it used to be alive?
Amulin shrugged it off and finished her investigation of the mansion, picking up a small doll, which was also part of the mission...
'…. also, bring back a doll, one with brunette hair, so I can add it to my collection...'
"She really is still just a child" the butler smiles, looking at the dolls porcelain features. Amulin was just bout to leave until she heard a noise, footsteps? Mice? She did not know, but it did not bother her, since she had completed her mission.
Amulin arrived at the mansion, just before the sun began to sink behind the tall trees that surrounded the estate. The supper was served just in time "Did you bring back what I requested?" Amulet asked, taking her seat at the table, her eyes sparkling with excitement "Of course, how could I forget" Amulin replied handing the doll to her mistress. The doll looked brand new, it's skin was polished and it's face repainted, the green dress was also remade, and the hair was restored as well "I love it!" Amulet squealed, holding the doll in her delicate hands.
A puppet moves his hand to his face "ngh..." he groans as he tries to move his stiff limbs. He sits up as he gets control of his body "what...?" he questions, looking around as to where he was "I remember..." he says, standing up. He soon realizes the damage to his head "... such a bother" he says, trying to stuff the stuffing back into his head. The puppet remembers his name as he continues to fix the damages to his head and body, he remembers his name is... Drocell Cainz.
