Chapter 2: The Chosen One

Hello All! :P It's actually my birthday today as I'm posting this today and I'm so excited because I'm going to see Wicked, the musical! As always I like to rant a bit in my introduction about something in the story. So I thought I'd talk about how I came up with the storyline of Be My Butler. Each chapter is actually associated with a song and I play out the scenario in my head. It creates some problems though because there are some scenes that I have to fill in which requires more time for me to think up. As for the King of Xerxes, I imagine him to be similar to my personality and the previous Lord from Noblesse *Laughs* (Hands up for those Noblesse fans out there!) Anyway, FYI, the songs in this chapter are Rachminoff No.2 Piano Concerto, Swan Lake Waltz of the Flowers and Standing in the Way of Control by Gossip. How do you come up with your stories? Do share with me!

With Love,

We stared at each other in awkward silence.

What did he just say? Did he just say I got chosen? As a princess?! Is that Oji-San playing a joke on me? I knew he was a funny guy but this is no joke. My brothers are more suitable. They are like geniuses in everything. I'm like the youngest. And I know I've done some stuff but…Hell…I can't even ball dance. Plus I'm super bad at maths…I can't even divide in my head, how can he expect me to run a kingdom. I'm gonna SHANK that old man so bad if this is a JOKE. Maybe use an ice knife or something…wait I can't kill him because then I have no choice but to run the kingdom. I'd have to sneak in and changed the will-

"Miss Anna?"

Nobel Michel looked at me worriedly. I must have put on the face of a demon and emitting demonic aura as I was thinking of ways to kill my father.

"Ah…I'm sorry. May I see the letter?". I smiled trying to hide my inner emotions. He nodded slowly and handed me the letter. I tore open the letter, unravelled it and started reading.

XXXXX

To My Dearest Anna,

It's your old man here! HAHA I can imagine your face getting this letter. To be honest I know you said when you were younger that you never wanted to be princess even though I thought you'd be so ADORABLE as a princess! I've already ordered all your dresses! AWWW Your mother would have absolutely loved you in the dresses I got you! Hahahaha

On a more serious note, I did chose you to inherit the throne for a reason. That you are more talented than you think you are. I've heard that you accomplish ballet, mixed martial arts, completing your degree earlier than your brothers. I've been hearing about you from Nobel Michel and he's been sharing to me how caring and loving you are. You really understand people and go out of your way to really care for those people. Those important qualities in order to change our country for the future. I really believe that you'd be able to change Xerxes now as a country.

I mean I like Alex and Jay but man…they are so full of themselves. SOOO I CHOOSE YOU. Haha…It's like choosing a pokemon. *Throw Ball*. I can't wait to see you for your coronation! So practice for your performance well and I will see you in 2 weeks! Stay away from boys as well! They always have some inner motives especially to get in your pants. Father knows best.

MUCH LOVE

DAD

My face darkened so badly after reading the letter. I clutched the letter in anger and exasperation and many thoughts ran through my head.

That baka oji-san. He actually chose me. And whats with this informal letter? He's suppose to be writing an official letter and he's writing to me like a email to his best friend. When will he act his age? He thinks choosing the heir to the throne is like choosing a pokemon in the midst of a battle. It's not like you're choose several pokemon, you choose one forever. And how is this like a pokemon? I know I have siblings but he can't just bitch about my brothers to me like that. JEEZ WHY IS HE SO IRRESPONSIBLE. THAT IDIOT.

"M-Miss Anna?"

Nobel Michel broke out of my thoughts. I must have been emitting a really bad demonic aura because he looked terrified.

"Ah…I'm sorry".

We sat in awkward silence. I coughed uncomfortably and turned to Nobel Michel.

"So…What must I do to prepare for the coronation as a princess? How long do I have before Oji-father arrives?"

Lord Michel chuckled. He gave her a box and a booklet.

"He requires you to showcase your talents. In this case, playing a piano piece-"

I opened the booklet. Rachminoff Piano Concerto No.2. And the box...

"-And ballet since it is your best talent"

Inside were some beautiful silk ballet shoes.

"I'm quite out of practice. I know it's the holidays for university but do you happen to have a piano?"

"You may practice in the main hall. The princes are also there preparing for the national celebration for the six kingdom's alliance which is also at the same time. The event will be in 2 weeks from now"

"Thank you, Nobel Michel"

"I will ask Zain for the necessary equipment and-"

"-Is it possible…", I interrupted,"that we can keep this a secret from Zain?"

Lord Michel looked taken aback.

"Why? He will find out quite soon, Miss Anna..."

"I-I just want to spend some more time as a normal girl to him"

"Miss Anna…"

I smiled weakly and stood up packing away my books.

"Then…I will make the necessary preparations. Thank you Lord Michel. Please excuse me"

I got up and walked away. I heard Lord Michel say quietly,

"Miss Anna...you were never a normal girl to him, no matter what happens…"

May I honestly declare that King Xerxes is my FAVOURITE CHARACTER. As a noblesse fan, why did the previous lord have to go to eternal slumber. He's HILARIOUS. On a more serious note, please review :)
