Chapter One- The Red Pen
Standing behind me Prince Wilfred of Philip's butler, Claude, marked out yet another costume idea. This had been going on for the past hour, I was trying to decide on a costume for Prince Wilfred to wear in the Halloween parade hosted by Nobel Michael and every time I wrote something on my notepad Claude would take one look at it and cross it off with his red pen. It wasn't like I had suggested that his highness go as a fairy princess. After two more of my ideas were viciously marked out I had enough.
"Alright give me the pen." I demanded turning around and holding my hand out. Claude looked positively rattled, as if he didn't believe he was doing anything wrong. "You're constricting the creative process so you've lost pen privileges. Hand it over."
Claude gave me one of his signature looks and refused to give it up. Standing up I made a grab for the pen but he held it just out of my reach. The 'butler of propriety' played keep away with a completely straight face. After a minute or so of this an idea hit me.
"Fine, keep the pen. But don't be surprised if you find yourself dressed as a butterfly on halloween," this statement, serious or not, shocked him enough for his arm to lower slightly, giving me the ability to snatch the pen from him.
"Aw, it looks like I've been jealous of the wrong man in Philip, eh, Wills?" I heard a familiar voice laugh and became embarrassingly aware just how close Claude and I were standing. I take a hasty step away from him.
"P-prince Roberto," I stammer bowing quickly my face flushed. I didn't look but I was sure Claude's face was similar to mine.
"What were you two arguing about this time?" Prince Wilfred inquired. It wasn't uncommon for Claude and I to be at each others throats over something and by his tone it was apparent that this fact amused Prince Wilfred.
"We were merely discussing a few costume choices for your highness to wear in the Halloween Day Parade." Prince Wilfred's face seemed to fall for a second as Claude said this but his usual guarded smile returned.
"Oh, what are some of your ideas?" Prince Roberto asked excitedly. I couldn't help but smile at how much fun he always seemed to be having.
"There is nothing definitive yet." I answered closing my notebook so they couldn't see all the red marks on the pages. i turned to Prince Wilfred "But I do have some masks designs for your highness to look through when you have the time."
