It's a little longer this time. I hope you still like it so far!
"Good morning, Your Highness," I said as he sat up. "Claude," he acknowledged me. "Your Highness, today-" "Shut up," he interrupted. That damned brat. "I would like my bath first today, Claude." "Whatever. I mean, yes, Your Highness." I grit my teeth and carried the lad to the washroom, he demanded that his feet royal feet don't ever touch a dirty floor such as this one unless he wore his shoes. Even though a task of mine is to scrub the floors until they shine. The ground here is so clean you could eat off of it!
Trust me, I would know. I was ordered to do so once.
As that blonde imp slipped into the warm water I rolled up my sleeves, preparing for a very messy bath. Sure enough, shortly after I knelt down to reach him better, he splashed me right in my face. I know what this is. It's his stupid way of trying to force a reaction out of me. But it never works. It never has and it never will. But I do admire his determination. Most humans would have quit trying to get me to react to something as childish as these antics years ago.
"Now what was that for?" I asked him. He shrugged and splashed me again. "No reason." No. There was never a reason was there. No reason except for that fact that he's spoiled rotten and has no respect for anyone or anything. It's a shame that a demon is teaching this boy how to treat others. That really is sad.
After about an hour of trying to clean the child I gave up. Promptly removing him from the tub and carrying him to his room, as he'd put it, I "threw him" onto his bed. "You should be more gentle, Claude," he scolded. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes and hold a pillow over the boy's face. I still might do that later tonight.
I looked at the clock. My, we're so off schedule. We can't have too much of that. I quickly grabbed the boy's shirt and placed his arms into the sleeves. Now here was the fun part, buttoning the thing. As I carefully did the buttons on his crisp white shirt, once I got down to the last one, he undoes the top 3! I look up at him and he sticks his tongue out at me. That damn seal starring me in the face. If only it weren't for the contract. I could kill this boy, steal that Phantomhive child, kill his demon, and have that delicious soul all to myself.
But I sighed and just re-did the buttons he'd undone. After a bit of that I was faced with the trouble of getting this idiot's pants on.
"Ah yes. How I love these effeminate shorts you wear, Your Highness," I mumbled under my breath, pulling the "pants" up his pale, slender legs. After I laced his shoes, I left to finish making breakfast.
I suppose that wasn't too hard. I thought.
"Oh, Claaaaude~!" It seems I spoke too soon. "Yes, Your Highness?" I ask, kneeling.
"I believe you've missed a few buttons." The blonde child said. I looked up, faced with Alois standing over me with his shirt completely unbuttoned.
I was definitely going to hold a pillow over his face tonight.
And, Chapter 2 is over. A review would be greatlt appricated! \(^_^)/ ~xoxo~
