Chapter 6: Interior Design

Integra walked into her office at ten the next morning to find to large binders sitting on her desk.

"Walter, what are these?" she questioned the Angel of Death as he brought her tea in.

"One is filled with wallpaper patterns and the other with cloth samples that come in the widest rage of colors I've ever seen," commented the butler as he placed the tea service on her desk.

Integra glared at the binders with distaste, as thought they were the undergarments of Enrico Maxwell, "Why are they here? I didn't send for them."

"No, you didn't," said Walter, "Her Majesty sent them over this morning with her gold card. She insists that she pay for the nursery and set up a trust fund."

Needless to say Integra was quite taken aback, "That's very generous of her majesty, but why so much?"

"She also sent over a note to remind you how long she and the other knights have been waiting for a Hellsing heir." said Walter removing a small white envelope, bearing the royal seal, from his pocket and placing it on the desk.

"Since I came of age I'd imagine," said Integra dryly as she sat down behind her desk.

"Quite," said Walter as Integra pulled a stack of papers in front of her and shoved the binders off to the side, "Will there be anything else?"

"Yes, tell Alucard to bring Seras Victoria to my office when she wakes up," said Integra, "I have neither the time of the energy to deal with redecorating."

"Very good, Sir," said Walter as he gave a slight bow, then left.

------------

Seras woke up later, in the evening, and much to her disdain she found Alucard waiting for her at the table.

She rolled her eyes; didn't her master have better things to do with his night?!

Alucard chuckled at her annoyance.

After Seras finished she was about to go over to Wedge's tank when Alucard grabbed her arm and led her up to Integra's office.

"But Master, what about-" Seras protested.

"That ridiculous creature in your room," Alucard cut her off, "one of the soldiers will handle it."

Integra's Office 5 Minutes Later-

"Excuse me-" Victoria was in shock, "You want me to do what?!"

"Design the nursery." Integra stated.

"Is there a problem, Police Girl?" asked Alucard.

"I don't know anything about designing a nursery!" yelped Seras.

"What could you possibly need to know?" her master pressed.

"How about what it is!" exclaimed Seras.

"I don't know what it is," said Integra pushing the binder of wall paper patterns and the binder of cloth samples across the desk.

"What's my base color if I can't use pink or blue?!" asked Seras.

"I'm sure you'll figure something out," assured Integra.

Victoria reluctantly lifted the catalogue, "Anyone have a problem with black and red?"

(How ironically appropriate-sigh-)
