"Aniue…"
A tiny voice belonged to a boy not more than 6 years old could be heard from the other side of the thick wooden doors. To be more accurately, an almost troubled and confused voice was heard behind the doors. And of course, all those emotions in the voice had indeed made the maids in the Aries Imperial Palace who was supposed to be doing their chores to stop and lean on the doors softly, curious to find out what happened and what was going to be happened inside.
And so, on this fine bright day, one innocent maid serving none other than Her Highness Empress Marianne was casually walking along the corridor until she heard a familiar voice. The girl halted in her tracks and turned her head towards the origin of the sound. If she said that she could not recognize the owner of the brilliant voice, she was indeed lying. She could swear that she heard the voice of one of the three people she served in this palace. Slowly and softly, she took a few steps towards the chamber and stood there, unconsciously trying to avoid making any sound that would alert the people inside.
"No worries, Lelouch… I assure you this would be done in a short moment," another voice was heard, filled with confidence and tender.
She stood there, recognizing the owner of the second voice. Not that she was surprised to find His Highness Prince Schneizel to be around the young prince because said prince did went through something traumatizing around two years ago. She knew that the blonde prince always spent time with the latter whenever he was free even though when the little princess was born. However, curiosity just could not help but to draw her to find out more about the on-going activity inside the chamber.
"Schneizel-aniue…just…please be more careful when you put it in…"
Her eyes widen with shocked. When she heard His Highness Prince Lelouch vi Britannia said this, the innocent maid was not suddenly not so innocent anymore. The basket of curtains which were supposed to be cleaned was lowered slowly to the marble tiles because she found herself requiring both her hands to steady herself on the wooden doors while her one of her ears was put on the surface of the wood, desperately trying to pick up more sound from the soundproofed doors.
"Emily…are you not supposed to be cleaning those curtains instead of eavesdropping here?"
Said girl quickly turned around and looked at her fellow friend who was holding some sheets that were needed for cleaning. And her first reaction to the query was to quickly held a finger in front of her lips, signaling her friend.
"Shh…. Lower your voice! Lelouch-sama might hear us!" Emily whispered to the other maid, almost angrily as if her friend was spoiling the wonderful moment. Hastily, she motioned her friend to come near her and tried to explain everything to the latter in a voice as soft as possible, almost like how the servants behaved in the nursery of the new-born princess. And when the second maid too positioned her ears on the wooden surface of the door, she could totally understand her friend, Emily's sudden enthusiasm to eavesdrop the master and prince they served.
"I promise I will put it in slowly so stop worrying, okay?" the blonde prince assured.
The two maids turned and looked at each other, face flushed and coincidently, each holding a hand over their lips to prevent a squeal from escaping. No conversations were needed for both of them knew clearly the same thing was crossing their minds. Though they had to admit the 11th prince of the Britannian Imperial Family was rather young for that kind of activity that they visualized in their minds, still, it was still something worth to be witnessed by them, or more precisely, to be heard. Thus, within a few minutes, a few servants could be seen creeping towards the doors and gathering there, each trying desperately to stand as close as possible to it. Of course, the gathered servants included a patrolling guard who just passed by and a gardener who was curious about the scene where everyone gathered.
And yes, the servants of Aries Imperial Palace were known by their unwavering loyalty to Her Highness Empress Marianne and their enormous curiosity about just everything that happened, things that were happening and would happen in near future.
The amount of people gathering in front of the chamber did not lessen even a bit. In fact, when Her Highness Princess Cornelia and His Highness Prince Clovis passed by and saw them, they too just casually asked what the servants were doing before joining the others in the eavesdropping line.
"Hmm…it seems that the hole of yours is so much smaller than I had imagined," Schneizel said with a light chuckle.
"I am so sorry…Schneizel-aniue…" Lelouch said with a soft voice, feeling guilty that his well respected elder brother was facing this difficulty due to him.
"It is okay, Lulu..." the servants could imagine the elder prince to gently pat the silky raven haired like he always did. "I'll just make sure that I aim properly on the hole before I put it in."
Hearing that, young Cornelia turned a shade redder. Although she was just in her teenage years, she knew clearly what was going on behind those doors and it took every cell in her body to refrain herself from barging into the room, pulling her dearest younger brother in her arms. Cornelia turned to look at Clovis, deciding whether she needed to block the latter's ears with her hands but Clovis looked too interested and absorbed into the conversation. The second princess found out a lot of shocking characteristics of the brilliant second prince and she would have to admit that she was indeed very shocked. Worse, she found herself wanting to pull away from there and leaning closer to hear more at the same time.
At least, now she could confirm the fact that her elder brother Schneizel indeed had a perverted and a side that she could not grasp all these years. Perhaps, in her wildest dreams, the so-called perfect prince of Holy Britannia Empire even had a double personality.
"Schneizel-aniue, please be careful when you pull it out. If it dripped everywhere, mother will find out and we would have to clean it with a cloth later…"
"Oh, don't worry, Lulu…" Schneizel assured the younger prince once again. "I did it so many times by myself before this. I will just make sure that all of it is dripped inside the hole before pulling out."
"Really?" chirped Lelouch.
"Of course, it would be a waste if it dripped on the floor!" replied Schneizel with an equally cheerful voice.
Some servants lowered their hands that were supposed to be covering their mouth and muttered a soft yet audible 'Aww…' while others continued to be in a state of shocked, unable to pull themselves into the reality of hearing the prince that were so highly praised by His Majesty Emperor Charles himself saying words that they could only imagine in their dreams.
And that was it.
Cornelia could no longer hold herself back from bursting in. So, the princess yanked the wooden doors and barged in. All the servants tried to stop her, but did not dare to do anything other than holding out a hand and opening their mouths in a big 'O' shape. Clovis did the same to stop his sister but she was far too quick and agile for him to catch even her sleeves in this case. However, the shapes of the servants' mouths did not change even after they saw what was beyond the doors that they were leaning on just moments before. Instead, Cornelia and Clovis found their mouth in the same shape as the servants.
"Cornelia…Clovis…and the others…" a surprised Schneizel standing next to a young Lelouch in front of a table said. "What a pleasant surprise to see you all…here…"
The scenes and images that were burning in their minds just now vanished into thin air within moments. What they saw was way too different from what they thought it was. All clothes were intact and both were standing on their feet. Well, technically, Lelouch was standing on a chair next to Schneizel in front of the table. At least, Schneizel was not hovering over the younger prince and that particular organ they imagined was no where to be seen.
Instead, they saw Schneizel holding a dropper and a fountain pen, currently engaging in an activity that looked like refilling the pen. And of course, Lelouch was standing close to the blonde prince, looking attentively how the latter did it until the group of servants including a royal prince and princess barged in.
"T-The door m-must have been broken for it to be opened suddenly…" said Cornelia suddenly, in the most convincing way that she could managed right now, hoping the lie would get them through.
"Hohohoho…" the attempted ladylike laughter of the princess failed miserably as far as she could tell. Nevertheless, she needed to get out of this embarrassment and this awkward moment she found herself engaged in. Cornelia quickly grabbed Clovis and turned around, dashing out of the chambers and pulling the latter quickly away to refuge.
Before Schneizel or Lelouch could say anything, the rest of the servants apologized and excused themselves swiftly from the room, closing those wooden doors back again with lightning speed.
Confused and troubled, Lelouch looked up at the elder prince and asked, "Do you think they will tell mother that I finished the ink in her fountain pen?"
Schneizel chuckled, looking into those brilliant violet eyes. It did not took him long to notice the steps that were slowly gathering on the other side of the door, and how softly those footsteps all of a sudden. And it did not took him long to realize what was going on in their minds when he saw the red tint of blush on the servants face and the most visible shade of red on Cornelia's face, either out of thinking erotic things or sheer disappointment followed by evident embarrassment.
"I can assure you that they won't since they enjoyed themselves so much when we were refilling the pen," he answered.

AN: It has been a while since I wrote anything that makes sense. But my addiction to Schneizel and Lelouch has not lessened even a little bit.
Hope you enjoyed reading it! :D
And sorry, if my attempt on trying to scar your soul forever failed miserably!
