Now onto the Story!
I remember the day as clear as can be, the day where I met two very well known Earls. I'm an Earl myself but I'm not very well known, that's not the only difference I have with these two Earls. You see….I'm female. Yes laugh all you want but yes a Female is an Earl. I'm kinda similar too in a way, I run a company like them, I have a Servant who serves me, and my family had something...tragic happen to them. It may seem rather Cliche but I have a demon maid. Yes a demon maid. But lets stop with the intros for now and lets get on with the situation shall we?
The Queen had sent me a letter one day to help her investigate a crime scene where Jack The Ripper had struck. here is the letter:
Dear Lilian Masasha,
I'm afraid that Jack The Ripper has struck once again in an alley near Big Ben. The victim was found painted in her own blood. I wish for you to help my Guard Dog and Spider investigate the scene. Please try to put a stop to his endless rain of terror on innocent prostitutes.
Sincerly,
Queen Victoria
After reading the letter I questioned myself, "Who are the Guard Dog and Spider and why do I feel as if I have met or heard of them before?" I thought to myself. Just then, Kathy walked in with a cart of tea and sweets. "Hello mistress would you like something sweet to eat?" asked Kathy.
"Oh sure, is there anything chocolate?" asked Lily in reply.
"Yes here." Kathy said as she handed her young mistress a double fudge chocolate cake slice and some Earl Grey tea.
Kathy stood there for about 4 minutes until she decided to break the ice, "Sooo...uh Mistress….anything new today? Something exciting?" Lily was too caught up in her reading though.
"Um Mistress?" She started waving her hands in her face.
"What...huh oh what do you want?" said Lily.
"Oh, just trying to break the ice in here." She responded.
"Whatever I need to read this to finish my work today okay." said Lily with her face buried in her paper.
"How cold…." She thought looking at her young mistress.
"...Done…. what would you like to do now Kathy?" Lily said looking up from the paper.
"Well I thought you would like to go somewhere entertaining, I mean you're always so holed up in these cases I thought you could have some fun for once." She said.
"What kind of "FUN" could we have… I don't know but that sounds nice, we should do something." said Lily getting up from her desk.
"How about we have a ball this evening?" asked Kathy excitedly "It'll be fun we could invite the other Earls or something." said Kathy with a smile.
"...I guess, I mean we could see who these other Earls are. I never got to meet them officially, I met the Guard Dog but not the spider." Lily paused for a minute, "Plus they could be useful as the Queen says."
Kathy's eyes brightened, "Shall I make the invitations or can anyone come over?"
"You can make the invitations as long as you do it quickly because you want to have it this evening right, and if you want we could make it a masquerade ball." Lily said with slight sarcasm in her voice.
She nodded but asked her something, "Well just wondering, would it be alright to invite that family? I mean maybe some but not all of them, after all most of them are pretty rude If you ask me."
"Do you mean the Ashdowns?" asked Lily with hatred in her voice.
"Well yes….I mean the Butler Lawrence, I think, he's pretty decent. He doesn't insult anyone and he certainly has manners."
"Not another word, I hate that Lucian brat more than my sister Luna, he's a pain in my ass and if you want me to have fun he shouldn't be invited." said Lily with pure hatred in her voice.
"...I never said you had to invite him Mistress, maybe just Lawrence. We talked for a bit and he's pretty different than them, just his fear though." She said.
"Well the butler is kind, but what fear?" asked Lily curiously.
She placed a finger on her lips, "I'm afraid I can't tell you Mistress, He told me to keep it a secret seeing as its a weakness."
"Alright I am perfectly fine with not knowing if he's uncomfortable with people knowing." said Lily more calmly than before.
Kathy smiled, "Alright, just don't go near him as much. Along with Rose and Luna, I doubt he could manage a conversation with the three of you." She started walking towards the door, "Is there anything else you need Mistress? I'm about to make the invitations."
"Alright, and I don't need anything else, I will inform my sisters and help Sally get the twins ready." said Lily leaving to the twin's bedroom.
They went their separate ways and Lily went to the twin's room like she said, she opened the door to see the twins chatting on the bed. As soon as she entered they looked at her, "What do you want Lily?" Luna, the youngest twin, asked with anger evident in her voice.
"Don't be like that Moon, I just came in here to tell you that tonight we are having a ball and Butler Lawrence will be there from the Ashdown household and we were instructed not to go too close to him… oh yes I also came to help get you girls ready for the ball since it's this evening and it's 2:30." said Lily walking over to their closet.
"So we're having a stupid Ashdown in our house? Great…. And why can't we go near him? It's not like we're Serial Killers." Luna said with a sigh.
"I wasn't happy about it either… and Kathy told us not to because of something she couldn't tell us and Luna your favorite color is green right?" replied Lily.
"Whatever, and yeah it's green, why?" Luna replied back.
"Well I want you to be wearing your favorite colors instead of something like you always do like white or brown." said Lily pulling out a beautiful long green dress with long sleeves and yellow flowers on it.
"It's beautiful thanks and it'll go perfectly with the necklace that we're never supposed to take off." said Luna pointing at the necklace her mother left to her on her chest.
Lily looked at Rose next, "Rose, would you like any specific type of dress?"
Rose nodded and looked to Luna and made some sort of hand motion and Luna replied "She said she wants to wear the long orange one with the salmon colored gloves."
"Okay, I'll go get the dress for you. I'll be right back." Lily went out of the room and started going to the fitting room and sneaked a dress from one of the models.
She went back into her sisters room and handed Rose her dress. "Here you go Rose, I do hope you like it and it fits."
She smiled and nodded happily. "Th...than..k..y..ou.."
Lily smiled, "You're welcome sister." Lily then went to her room and got ready for the ball, after all she wanted to look pretty when she has fun.
