BTW FROM THE AUTHOR: This Chapter will be basically split in half (MARCO.) because the next two chapters HAVE A LOT in store as in, I planned this a month ago specialty.

"Oh Claaaaaaaaaaaude~" An all too familiar voice sparked through the air.

"Looks like I can't," Claude said, disappointed that he couldn't spend time with Hannah today.

"Maybe next time then." Hannah smiled, walking to the supply closet in the corridor.

"Maybe next time..." He said to himself.

Alois skipped over to Claude, "Claude dearie, can I ask you for a favour?" The blonde boy asked his butler.

"But of course..." Claude said.

Meanwhile, Hannah begins dusting the vases and archives.

"Hannah?" She hears three voices say in sync.

"Oh, hello." She greeted the triplets, with a smile.

"Did you need help?" The triplets ask, each one of their heads tilted at the same exact angle.

"No I'm fine, you should be tending to whatever Alois had asked you to do." She says.

"But Alois has not given us any orders..."

"Occupy yourself elsewhere then, I would prefer to be alone." Hannah's cold voice expresses.

"Okay Hannah." The First twin, Canterbury says.

"But of course Miss Hannah." The Second twin, Thompson says.

"Not a problem Hannah." The Third twin, Timber says.

"Thank you, Triplets." Hannah sighs as they leave her be.

Meanwhile, Alois is discussing his favour with Claude.

"Claude dearest would you be ever so kind as to attend an event in my place?" Alois asks.

"Of course, but what and when is this 'event'?" Claude tilts his head.

"It's the annual Indian Cultural Festival, the prince staying with Ciel is hosting is this year~"

"Very well, but if have one request." Claude says, an idea sparking through his head.

"Oh~? What is it?" Alois replies.

"Will I be able to bring another person with me?" Claude exclaims, eyes full of hope.

"Well sure, whatever you desire, Claude, just be back whenever you want I'll have the triplets do whatever your duties were."

"Thank you, Master Trancy." Claude bows and walks away.

Claude smiles brightly for once instead of being his old uptight and just plain serious self as he walks around the mansion in search for Hannah. As his eyes land on the woman he was looking for she seemed to notice him first.

"Oh hello Claude," Hannah turned to him, smiling tenderly.

"Greetings, Hannah." Claude greets Hannah, glad to see her smile.

"Did you need something?" Hannah asks.

"Well I was going to ask you, would you like to accompany me at the festival next week?" He offers.

"I'd love to go, but what about my duties here?" She sighs.

"Alois stated that he'd have the twins do our work the day of the festival." He explains.

"Well I guess there's no declining an offer like that, I'll go, just because I want a little time off of work, okay?" Hannah giggles.

"Whatever you say Hannah." Claude rolls his eyes.
