Chapter 2: The Rose, It's Prickly Thorns

As Rose left Phantomhive manor, the younger butler looked at her as she was looking back at the manor.
"Mistress..."
"Hm? Oh... Sorry, Elliot... Where do we have to go again?" Rose asked as she already forgotten what her younger butler whispered to her back at the Phantomhive manor.
"We have a meeting with Earl Alois Trancy." Elliot answered then Rose sighed softly.
"Trancy huh...? Very well... And after that...?"
"You have a meeting with Sir Barry the flower shop owner from the Northern side of London." Elliot said then Rose rubbed her eyes feeling sleepy.
"Tell the twins and Luna to make the preparations... Hopefully my meeting with Earl Trancy will end shortly..." The girl said as she yawned. After a while they arrived at the Trancy manor.


In the Trancy Manor, there was a young teenage boy with platinum blond hair and icy blue eyes sitting in a chair thinking deep in his thoughts. That teenager was known as Alois Trancy.

Heh, a girl going up against me and the Queen's Guard Dog? Don't make me laugh. This should be real easy; all I have to do is seduce the little bitch and once I get her guard down I'll crush her. I swear even I'm so surprised at how impressive I am of myself. Alois thought, giggling softly.
"Master, Lady Armera has arrived." Alois's butler, Claude announced which brought the teenager back to reality.
"Ah, right. I'm coming." He answered as he followed Claude outside. Rose came out of the carriage along with her butler Elliot as he helped her out.

So this is her huh...? Heh, I don't see much. Alois thought as he smirked.

"Please to meet you. I am Lady Armera, Rose Armera."

"The Queen's Rose, it's nice to meet you." Alois greeted with a smile but deep down, he was obviously lying as he playfully tugged Rose's arm and pulled her into the manor.


Inside, Rose looked around at all of the manor's decorations then Alois smiled as he stood beside her.
"Isn't it lovely? Although, none of these decorations could ever compare to your beauty, Miss Armera." Alois said, sweet-talking Rose. The golden blond hair girl turned her head, but Alois could've sworn he heard Rose giggle a bit.

"What?" The young teenager asked feeling a bit curious, but he knew he must've won her heart.

"I just find it hilarious that what you just said is your way of flirting. I've met numerous of men, younger and older, and their pick-up lines are far better than what you just spewed up."

THIS BITCH! Alois thought as he raised his hand, ready to slap her face but someone grabbed the teenager's arm. Alois turned his head to look and saw Elliot, but he was now taller than before.
How did he get so tall?! The teenager thought then Alois pulled his arm away from the butler's grip giving him a glare. The butler walked and stood beside the Queen's Rose, whispering something to her then Rose looked at Alois with a bored expression.
"I wish I could stay longer, but I have a meeting to attend to... If you'll excuse me, Earl Tran-cy~" she said the Earl's last name in a teasing voice then she and her butler left. As the carriage left, Alois growled gritting his teeth and clenched his hand into a fist quivering in anger.
