One day in Paris, 1910, an elderly woman by the name of Katyusha was taking a ride back to her home in her carriage, led by her butler, Roderich. They were heading close to home, when Katyusha picked up one of her three cat's kittens. She stroked it's head and smiled.
"Natalya my little one, you're going to be as beautiful as your mother, isn't she Elizabeta?"
Elizabeta meowed in agreement.
Katyusha watched as one of the kittens jumped on Roderich's head and started batting at his large cowlick. "Careful, Lukas!" she laughed, "You're making it very difficult for Roderich."
Roderich placed the kitten down and continued to steer the horse. "Woah, frou frou, woah, steady girl." He said, pulling the horse to a stop.
Roderich got up out of his seat and walked next to the carriage, holding out his hand for Katyusha to take so he can help her down. "Thank you, Roderich." She said.
The horse gave out a loud nay.
"Oh. Of course, frou frou, I almost forgot." She walked over to the horse and+ gave it a small apple, which the horse gladly took.
"Madame, uh, may I take your parcel, Madame? It uh, it really is much too heavy for you." Roderich asked.
"Now, don't fuss over me. You work hard enough." She grinned, making Roderich smile.
While this was going on, the kittens jumped off the carriage and began to pad at the horse's hooves. Elizabeta calmly sat down.
"Mathias, come back here. Haven't you forgotten something?" She stated. Mathias turned to frou frou and smiled.
"Thank you, miss frou frou for letting me ride on your back." He grinned happily.
The horse chuckled. "You're quite welcome, young man!"
Mathias turned to his mother, his chest puffed out with pride. "How was that, Mama?"
"Very good, darling, very good." She mewed.
"Come along Duchess, kittens, come along!" Katyusha called stepping inside. Suddenly she whipped her head around to Roderich. "Oh and Roderich, I'm expecting my attorney Romulus Vargas. You remember him, of course?" She said, walking inside.
"Of course Madame. How could anyone forget him?" He gave a fake smile.
….
Not too long after, a rambunctious car swerved up the street and parked itself in front of Katyusha's mansion. Out came out a singing old Italian man, and cheery as well. He walked up to the house holding a large briefcase. Upon hearing the car stop, Roderich dashed to the door and opened it for the man, who walked in.
"Ah good day, sir. Madame Katyusha is expecting you." He said, hanging up the man's scarf.
"Evening, evening Roderich!" He cheered, "Catch!" And he threw his hat to Roderich, which landed clean on the Austrian butler's head. Roderich took it off and hung it up on the rack.
"Ah, another ringer sir. You never miss." Roderich grinned, getting the hat on the rack. He flinched when he saw the old man walking upstairs in front of him. "Come on, Roderich, last one upstairs is a nincompoop!"
"Uh, could we take the elevator this time, sir?" Roderich asked with hope and worry in his tone. What? An old man going up a large set of stairs he could hurt himself!
"Oh be quiet, elevators are for old people-whoops!" Romulus yelped falling downward, only to be caught by Roderich.
"M-may I give you a hand, sir?" He asked.
"You haven't lost your speed, eh Roderich? Ha ha ha ha ha!" Romulus laughed. Roderich joined his laughter nervously.
Ah, yes. That always gets me sir, ha ha; every time. Woah!" Roderich cried slipping from the stairs.
"Don't panic, Roderich! I know exactly what to do!" Romulus cried. He unexpectedly leaped on top of Roderich's back, making the butler squeal with pain and surprise. Piggy back ride!
"Am I going too hard on you, Roderich?" He asked.
"Oh, no." He snarled.
Meanwhile upstairs, Katyusha had dressed herself up nicely, and was now putting on a boa scarf. "It's perfect, Elizabeta. We must look our best for Romulus. He is our oldest and dearest friend you know." She said, rubbing the cat's head.
Elizabeta meowed her approval. She turned swiftly to a knocking sound on the door.
"Come in!" Katyusha called.
Roderich walked in, looking weak and sweating and all the meanwhile panting. "A-announcing…Romulus…is here…." He panted.
The old man walked in, the kittens padding at his feet.
"Oh my goodness, Roderich, I apologize for him." She said.
"Evening, Katyusha!" Romulus laughed. Katyusha smiled.
"It's so good to see you, Romulus!" She smiled, holding out her hand. Romulus took the hand and kissed it. He looked up and chuckled.
"Ah, still the softest hands of Paris, eh?" he said.
Katyusha rolled her eyes playfully. "Heh, you're a shameless flatterer, Romulus."
Suddenly music began to play. They looked and saw Mathias spinning a record playing old music from the play Carmen.
"Hey, that music; it's from Carmen isn't it?" Romulus asked.
"Yes, right, it was my favorite role." She said happily, thinking of her days when she acted as Carmen in the opera.
"Yes, yes! Wonderful job you did!" Romulus cheered, taking her hand. He began to sing along to the music and dance with her, making her laugh.
Jumping up and down on the record was Mathias, smiling at his success from jumping do high. Suddenly he slipped, stopping the record. "Oh my." Katyusha sighed with a smile. Mathias looked up from the record and smiled nervously in apology.
"Ah, just in time." Katyusha sighed, sitting down on her couch. "Ah, Romulus; we're just a couple of sentimental old fools." She chuckled.
Romulus continued to dance and sing.
Katyusha laughed softly. "Now, Romulus, do be serious. I've asked you to come here on a very important, legal matter."
Author's note!
Save the rest for tomorrow! So, this is my second Nekotalia story huh? I'm proud. I've wanted to do this for a while, and I'm happy I finally got the chance. It's just hard to get the dialogue right, cause finding the movie to type the dialogue from was hard. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed.
See you in the next chapter! ;)
