Alois' POV
Even the lowest of classes can find a new start in life. It may take days, weeks, months, even years to begin a new. Some cases it never comes along. A peasant may be a peasant for all eternity. Though some chances come in which you must take. It may just give you a new beginning.

I always enjoyed the feel of a spider web touching my fragile flesh. It felt as a thin blanket that covers me in a layer of comfort from someone who cares. At the moment I met Claude Faustus, I knew he'd be the one who would protect me for all of eternity. Claude Faustus would be my soul mate.
I awake at precisely 8:00AM. The sun's rays shining through the thin curtains. The autumn breeze crept through the slight window crack. It spread ever so slowly around the bedroom. My white sheets held me like a mother holding her newborn child close to stop the shrill cries from continuing on. It was protecting me from the cool chills of fall creeping onto my skin.
My door creaked open, a faint feminine call came to my attention.
"My lord. It is time for you to attend to your duties."
Hannah. My useless, good for nothing servant. Maid is too high of a rank to classify her under. She is slow, fragile, and no good at her current status of labor. Which is why I took her eye out.
"How many times do I have to inform you, Claude wakes me and no one else!?" I threw my pillow at her face, causing her to back away.
"Yes young master," she hurried off the fetch Claude.
I have 4 servants.
"Yes young master," she hurried out to fetch Claude.
I have 4 servants and a butler. Some idiotic triplets, a worthless whore, and a fantastic, wonderful butler. He is the only one who matters. Who I love deeply and dearly. Claude Faustus.
A tall, slender figure appeared at my door. "Good morning, your highness."
"Claude," I uncovered myself, shivering as the chills touched my sensitive skin. "Come, dress me."
