It was a perfect afternoon. Corrin's army had a day off from training and engaging in combat. Odin was screaming about his sword hand or something, Leo was eating tomatoes, and Camilla was coddling Corrin again. Felicia, on the other hand, was not having a great time. She had attempted to balance a tray of tea and mini-sandwiches to bring to Corrin, but, like always, she came crashing down. She was soaked with tea, and had accidentally broken Niles's bow! It had a clean snap down the middle, but the string was still intact. Her mind was spinning, what was she going to tell Niles? She didn't want this situation to ruin her status with him, for she had a little school girl crush on him. She had always had a strange and mysterious infatuation with him, even though she never understood his sexual innuendos. Every single one of them fly right past her, and she doesn't even know.
Then, she stood up and brushed herself off. She had made a complete mess. Her dress was stained with tea, something that would be a nightmare for her to get out because there aren't washing machines, and even if there was, Felicia definitely couldn't figure out how to work them. While she pondering what to do, Niles appeared pretty much out of nowhere. After seeing the mess, he had assumed Felicia had done what she does best: tripping, falling over, and breaking shit.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Niles asked in his usual seductive tone. "Have you made another disarray?"
Felicia couldn't maintain her composure and began to sob.
"Oh, Niles, I didn't mean to break your bow! It was an accident! I-I tripped! I'm so
sorry!"
Felicia continued to wail and attempt to explain herself, while Niles sighed and interrupted her.
"It's not the bow I'm worried about, those can easily be replaced. Someone as vulnerable as you, cannot be replaced. Are you alright?"
"Yes, I'm fine... but Niles, your bow..."
Niles couldn't help himself, and slyly remarked with:
"Yes, it's nice, isn't it?"
Felicia had no idea what he was talking about because she's just an innocent little baby.
She then continued with what she was saying.
"How can I make it up to you?"
Niles knew exactly what he wanted, but he decided to mess with her. It was a test, of
some sort.
"First, we have to get you out of those clothes. They're absolutely soiled."
Niles smirked. He was ready to spectate Felicia's reaction.
"Oh, Gods, you're right!"
For the slightest moment, he thought Felicia was going to start stripping her clothes off.
Not that he would've minded, he just would've been very surprised. But, Felicia picked up the tray and rushed off, without saying another word. She was already embarrassed enough for one day! Niles then stood there, baffled at how Felicia completely disregarded his comment.
"What a strange girl..."
Then, he returned to his normal perverted self that can find a way to enjoy even the weirdest stuff.
"I'm going to have FUN with her."
~Later~
Felicia sat in her room, in fresh, non-stained clothes, thinking about the event that had just transpired. Remembering the humiliation of her incompetent maid ways, she sighed heavily. She had always wanted to be a great servant to Corrin like Jakob, but it hurt her even more to embarrass herself like that in the presence of Niles. She looked around her icy-cold room and closed her eyes.
"Why am I such an idiot...why am I so clumsy...?"
She reverted back to sitting in silence, and pulled out a book given to her by her sister before she got DEAD. After a while of reading, she heard a knock on the door. She prayed to the Gods, one possibly being a giant spider god, that it wasn't Niles. Then, she walked over to the door and opened it.
"Niles?"
Then, she whispered to herself:
"Damn you, spider god."
Niles didn't hear her strange and concerning comment and began to speak.
"Yes. Were you expecting someone else?"
"W-well, no..."
"Good. I wanted to talk to you about what happened earlier. I have a way you can make it
up to me."
