Hajimemashita! I'm not an expert author but I've been in here long. However, this is not anything serious.
I just kept on thinking about Gaul-sama having a girlfriend...so I wrote this for fun. But if it catches your eyes, do review and tell me what you think. Flamers are welcome too! and also, constructive criticism.
CHP 1: Arranged Meeting
The thirteen-year-old girl was busy cleaning up the front of the Fuugetsu Lodge, like she always does every day. She was a silver haired cat girl, taken in by Lady d'Arquien, the female samurai dog who works under Biscotti Republic. She has soft blue eyes and a sweet smile is always plastered in her face.
"We're back!" the child of god, Yukikaze announced as she stepped into the front lawn which they used as their training ground.
The blue eyes female dog with long braided brown hair: Brioche d'Arquien stepped in after that. The girl turned to them.
"Welcome back, my Lady, Yukikaze-san," she said.
"Awww, Silver! I told you not to be too formal with me!" Yukikaze said as she hugged the girl.
Silver mumbled, "Well…I don't feel like I have the right to call you by your nickname…"
The blonde puffed her cheeks at Silver's reply. The familiar small fox for Biscotti Knights Secret Squad jumped into Silvers hand. Konoha was the fox's name and it started to lick her face. She giggled as it tickled her.
"Silver, let's go take a bath in the river!" Upon saying that, she quickly grabbed the girl by her hand and dragged her to river which further into the forest.
"Those lively kids…" the Lady sighed.
"Would you like anything to drink?" the brown haired female rabbit working under them asked.
"Ahhh...yes! Green tea would be nice," the wolf demon sealer replied.
"By the way, my Lady…a letter came this morning, asking your presence along with Yukikaze at Biscotti Castle the next day after tomorrow…" the young women said, handing the letter to the dog.
"Hmm…regarding Silver?" she mumbled to herself.
That night, Lady d'Arquien spoke to the two about the matter. Silver was somewhat confused at why the Princess of Biscotti wished to see her. She is but a mere cat.
"So, you have to look at your best tomorrow," Yuki said to the girl with a smile.
Brushing her silky hair, the girl nodded. They went to sleep after that.
"Well, here we are," Brioche d'Arquien announced as she stepped down from her large cerkle.
Silver rode with Yukikaze. The two got down from the yellow cerkle. The cat girl stared in awe at the large building in front of her. Most of the walls were so sparkling clean that you could see your reflection through it.
"Welcome, d'Arquien, Yukki!" a girl, about Silver's age who has short green hair with dropping dog ears welcomed them.
"Éclair, it has been awhile!" Yukikaze beamed, seeing her old friend.
"This is Éclair Martinozzi, commanding officer of the Imperial Guards," d'Arquien explained, getting a nod from the younger girl.
"Nice to meet you. Please call me, Silver," the girl bowed.
Éclair smile and nodded. She told them that the Princess was waiting inside. The three nodded and followed her to meet the Princess. She was in the meeting room. Her pink hair was neatly tied to the back as a pony tail. She was wearing her usual gown. The four bowed to her.
"Hello, how have you been?" Princess greeted them.
"We are all alive and kicking, Millhi-sama," d'Arquien answered on behalf of the three.
They sat on the right side of the meeting table while Éclair sat on the left side. Princess Millhiore beamed to them and explained why they were here.
"I told Leo-sama about Silver being a cat that lives in our country," she started.
"Huh? Why? If I may know…" Silver asked, confused.
"Oh, i-it's not like I h-hate it or a-anything! I'm sorry if I've offended you!" the Princess apologised, waving her hands up and down as she did.
Silver smiled and shook her head. "No, you didn't. I was just confused…" she said.
Millhiore sighed, relieved. She continued, "Well, Leo-sama would like to hire you as her maid."
"Maid?" Yukikaze was next to be confused.
"Why is that so?" Brioche asked.
"It is because she seems interesting and she is as old as my brother," a voice answered.
All eyes were at the door. There stood a young lady with grey locks, lion ears, yellow eyes and was wearing a blue uniform. She was Leonmitchelli Galette des Rois. She was half smiling and half smirking with her hands on her waist.
"I'm sorry to barge in on your meeting. I just can't wait to meet this girl," the Ruler of the Galette Lion Territory explained herself.
She turned to Silver who sweat dropped immediately. The girl froze when Leo approached her. The young lady touched her face and stroked it. Silver felt somewhat calm.
"Nyaaaa…" she uttered.
"When can she start working?" Brioche asked the grey haired.
"As soon as possible...but it's her choice. I'm sure it'll be hard on you two…to let her. Besides, I have a little plan for her…" Her Highness Leo replied with a soft smile.
Yukikaze and Brioche d'Arquien turned to look at each other. Silver didn't say anything. She was absorbed In Leo's stroking. The Ruler of Galette left after dinner that day. Yukikaze noticed the change of mood in Silver.
Silver was still thinking about the offer. It would be really hard to leave the comfort of Fuugetsu Lodge. However, she knew that she shouldn't be burdening the two anymore longer. Ever since she lost her parents, all she did was cling onto the two knights. She seldom went outside and would only do so if Yukikaze or d'Arquien invited her.
"I'll head there the next day after tomorrow," she spoke up.
They were back in their lodge, enjoying their green tea. The fox stopped her intention to sip her tea.
"So soon?" Yukikaze asked, turning to the cat.
"I'll come and visit sometime. I promise!" the younger girl said.
"Well, since she had decided it, we can't stop her," the older woman sighed.
Yukikaze gazed at Silver as she took a sip of her tea. The young cat bit her lower lip and looked down. She nodded to what the Lady said.
"Hey! Get back here!" a loud shouting voice was heard throughout the corridor of Galette Palace.
"Catch us, Prince Gaul!" another voice was heard.
They were actually from one of the trios in Genoise, Jaune, a young feline knight of Galette. Along with her were the other two of Genoise, Noir, the black cat and Vert, the quite clumsy blonde haired rabbit. It seemed that Gaul, the prince of Galette was chasing after them to get back his favourite cloak, given to him by his sister on his 12th birthday.
"I'm gonna kill you when I get you!" he shouted.
Meanwhile, Silver had arrived at the front gate of the palace, alone with her very own cerkle given to her by Princess Millhiore. She gazed at the gigantic blue painted palace.
"It's much bigger than the Biscotti Castle…I think…" she mumbled.
Suddenly, she heard footstep coming towards her. She turned to her right and saw three girls running in her direction. Silver panicked, but the three jumped over her on time, as if they knew she was there.
"Get back here!" a shout was heard.
"Huh?" Silver was confused.
She saw a grey haired boy with lion ears and yellow eyes, the same as Leo's, ran towards her. He was surprised to see her blocking his way. He tried to stop but due to him over speeding, it was too late.
"Out of the way!" he shouted.
THUD!
The boy fell onto her, causing her to topple backward. Lucky for them, Silver's cerkle was behind her, so they didn't fall hard onto the ground. The boy widened his eyes at the result: his lips were right on top of hers and he was holding her right hand up. If anybody saw them at that time, they would probably think that he did it on purpose.
"Ah…Silver-chan, you're…here?" a maid with blue hair came to greet her.
She froze when she saw the state. The red-eyes girl blushed and giggled at the sight. The boy quickly stood up. He looked away from the two. Silver stood up with a very visible blush on her face.
"Gaul-sama, you're so clumsy!" the maid scolded him abruptly.
At the back of the gate, Leo and the Genoise were smirking.
"The plan is a success! Way to go, you three," the Ruler said.
"It was really fun. Gaul-sama was so embarrassed!" Jaune grinned.
"Rouge did a great job too," Vert smiled happily.
"The timing was quite nice," Noir gave out a satisfied smile.
At the same time, Gaul was scolded by Rogue. Silver only listened. She couldn't help but pity him. However, as she thought of him being a prince, she blushed furiously. What would Leo-sama think of this situation?
