~Hours later~
There was a loud knock on the door. My lids fluttered. Another knock. „Excuse me.", I heard a deep voice say.
I untangled myself and slowly walked towards the heavy door, opening it to see the face of this households butler.
Once again he stared into my eyes, as if he was looking right into my soul. I wondered why I get this feeling every time.
There was something about him, something dark, devilish, vicious. „Do you remember what I told you yesterday?", he said after I gave him a questioning look.
I nodded as a response. Sebastian gave me a small smile and handed me a cream colored dress, nothing fancy but fancier than anything I had worn before.
„Wear this for the time being. After a few weeks we'll call a certain lady over who will tailor you something prettier."
I simply nodded and gladly took the dress. Spreading it out I looked at it. I saw Janet wearing something similar to that dress.
I looked over to the butler who turned around, his back now facing me. „Put that on.", he said to me in a calm voice. I picked the dress up and looked at it.
I still didn't quite get how to wear dresses, the red-haired maid helped me last time. Ok, first I should remove the dress which I'm wearing at the moment, I thought and pulled on the edges of the dress. I somehow managed to pull it halfway up, revealing my pale skin, but I couldn't manage pulling it up any further.
Needing help I walked over to the tall butler and tried to make him turn around by gently pulling on his sleeve.
Surprised, he tilted his head to look at me and I noticed his eyes scanning my body while sighing. „I guess you need help?", he asked while raising one brow.
Nodding I made my way back to where I put the dress down and the butler followed me. „I shall help you this once, you should be able to dress yourself after that.", he said and stood behind me. „It's easy, take your hands, put them here and there...", he said in a low voice while grabbing my hands and placing them where they belong.
„Now just pull..." He pulled my dress upwards and his engloved hands brushed against my delicate skin. My breath stopped for a second and I got goosebumps all over my body. „Now take the dress and just put it there.", Sebastian pointed towards an empty basket and I nodded. He turned around and picked up the other dress; turning back towards me while holding it; looking at me he said: „I will show you how to put on a dress once only, got it? A lady shouldn't expose herself in front of other men."
He made me hold my arms upwards and slid the dress over my slender body. Adjusting it in a few places he said: „Okay, that should be enough. Follow me."
I followed him through the corridors, walking right behind his wide shoulders until he stopped in front of two heavy doors which he opened quietly.
„This is where I'll be teaching you from now on.", he said while keeping the door open, „Enter." I nodded and slowly entered the wide room.
The walls were creamcolored and had royal blue stripes. Fancy furniture was placed all over the room. Sebastian walked over to a rather long object black in color.
„We will meet here every morning.", he said slowly. I approached the object and eyed it closely while Sebastian watched me.
Sliding my finger across the black surface I looked at a white powder which stuck to the surface. As I swiped my index finger across the white pattern the powder got smudged and suddenly stuck to my finger. Rubbing my thumb and index finger together I watched the powder falling off of my fingers and slowly onto the wooden floor.
The butler which had observed me ever so calm suddenly raised his voice again. „Do you know what that is?" It made me twitch out of surprise. I looked at him and shook my head slowly, averting my eyes from his face. „I see." When I looked at his slender face again his pale lips transformed into a smile. „Chalk", he said. „It's chalk."
I looked at the white powder again. „And this", he approached and reach out for the black object. „Is a black board. We will be working a lot with that from now on."
I nodded slowly, feeling excitement rising in the depths of my heart. I nodded, warmth enveloping me all around.
„Then", the butler walked towards a single table, grabbing a chair which was placed right in front of it and said: „Sit down, miss..."
He smiled, it didn't seem like a sincere smile, it was rather cold, seemed like a mask.
Walking towards the chair I sat down, facing the huge black object - „Blackboard" … was it?
