"It's okay to admit your lonely milady."
Miku glanced over her shoulder at her maid Luka. She couldn't believe the words that were coming out of her maid's mouth. Lonely? There was no reason for her to be lonely. She had two maids to keep her company. Loneliness involved being alone. Which, Miku obviously wasn't.
"Luka," Miku said rolling her eyes, "I am not lonely. What would even make you think such a thing?"
The pink haired maid looked at the ground and shrugged. "The way you get so pleased when you have a guest."
"I merely am pleased others get to see the wonders of my mansion," Miku absently started to rearrange the contents of her vanity. She was not lonely. There was no way she was lonely. "That doesn't make me lonely. Besides, I have everything I could ever want Luka."
Luka shook her head. "Not everything you want milady. Excuse my disrespect."
"What do you mean no everything?" Miku raised one eyebrow. She was honestly intrigued by her maid's comment. "I have beauty, riches, magic, and power. What else could I want?"
"Love, milady," Luka met her mistresses gaze.
Love? Miku threw her head back and laughed. Love was for youth. Love was for fools. There was no such thing as love. There was a sense of need people had for each other, or perhaps reliance and maybe even lust, but Miku stopped believing in love long ago. "You are very confused my dear. We have discussed my feelings toward love."
"I know, I know," Luka said a bit irritably. "You have told me multiple times milady. You shouldn't close your heart so quickly though. Our new friend seems to have a complicated story of his own."
"Indeed he does," Miku agreed. "I look forward to us playing a bit."
"Playing?"
"Oh I know our friend will be having a bit of a power struggle with me." Miku grinned devilishly, "I enjoy a good fight Luka. It makes things so much more interesting."
Len was awoken much earlier than he desired. One of the maids woke him up at sundown. He almost struck her because of the fright she caused.
"Good God," Len said as he pushed himself up. "You can wake up a man more gently you know."
"Yes, but you're not a man," it was Meiko. "The mistress demands you come down and see her immediately."
He groaned as he kicked off the blankets and rose up to his feet. Len noticed a set of clothes lying on an armchair in the corner carefully folded. He walked up to it and studied the clothes then laughed.
There was a formal white collared shirt with black pants and he assumed a black coat was in the stack. He picked it up and rolled his eyes. "What the lady wants the lady gets." He rolled his eyes as he threw his shirt onto the ground.
He quickly pulled on the white shirt and changed from his ratty brown trousers into the formal black pants.
"Well look at that, there is a matching coat," Len picked it up and shook his head. He refused to wear it.
He walked down the steps and saw Miku standing there impatiently.
"Where is your coat?"
"Upstairs," Len said with a shrug. "I'll wear the stupid shirt and pants but I'm not wearing a coat."
Miku walked toward him and made a ridiculous pouty lip. She ran her finger underneath his chin and shook her head a bit. Then she leaned in toward his ear. "I love war games Len. I will win. I've got all eternity to fight."
Short sorry.
I kind of was starting to get writers block. So I gave you all a cliffhanger.
It was originally going to be even shorter but I managed to extend it =)
I'm pretty busy with school and other projects.
Also I will be participating in NaNoWriMo this year.
So throughout all of November no updates.
I might be able to update this one last time if I get any ideas.
Don't get your hopes up though =/
Or I'll write up a short something in November just to keep interest.
