Hey everyone ^_^! Nora here! Here's the newest chapter for Sovereignty (obviously xD)!
I think my update rate isn't that bad :3. And So please, enjoy my story and thank you for reading!
Also, reviews make me want to update quickly D -gets happy and inspired!-
Oh and if you didn't notice, Italics= Seychelles thinking. Or speaking French.
Update: Fixed format due to a review! Thank you! I totally forgot to seperate them! But now I won't make the same mistake again!
"Oh, Ms. Seychelles? It's a bit past time for your afternoon tea with Sir Arthur. I suggest you hurry post-haste, his patience is thinning!" One of the maids exclaimed.
As soon as she interrupted my thoughts, panic spread throughout my entire being. Arthur would never let me forget this little mistake! I made a run for it towards the door and into the hallway. Arthur is going to punish me for being so late! Ugh, I am such a fool. I self-scolded myself while I hurried through the halls. Wait…where did she say that Arthur was? Sh-she didn't even tell me where he was! Oh my, if I'm even just one minute later I'll sur-
"Ms. Seychelles? If you'd actually pay attentio-.. oh forgive me! I know it is impossible for you, but do try to pay mind to your surroundings for once in a while".
I cringed on the inside as I turned around and saw the devil himself, Arthur. He seemed rather amused at how I almost just passed him and would have had to search around his manor for maybe an hour or so. I decided to hold my tongue for once; I was already in enough trouble being as late as I am.
"Forgive me sir, I do apologize for being so late," I proclaimed with a gentle voice.
Arthur seemed his sarcastic usual self as he said, "My my! Ms. Seychelles! Such manners! You are indeed in rare form today? Pray tell of why, if I may ask?" I let him capture a glare for a second, then returned to my normal state as I explained, "Oh, I am in no different form as I am any other day Sir. What made you think in such a way?"
He seemed to consider this as he sipped tea. After 10 seconds of consideration, he simply stated, "If you say so, Ms. Seychelles. Now please, pour yourself some tea," and motioned to the tea set in front of him.
As I got up to pour myself some tea, Arthur turned to the scenic view on our side. I couldn't help but to look out as well. The manor was beyond gorgeous itself; the lush verdure and gardens just enhanced it beyond belief. Soon after, I couldn't help but stare into Arthur's eyes as he gazed into the endless plain of green. His eyes were of that same green, alluring and radiant. I felt myself getting lost into them until he turned back to face in my direction. Those same green eyes diluted as he tried to grab a certain someone's attention. After I realized that person was me… it was too late. The tea had already over flown from my cup, enveloped the table, and was now spreading on the floor beneath us! Arthur seemed enraged; although he seemed angrier about the wasted tea rather than the mess I made.
"SEYCHELLES! You made this mess! You are the one who shall clean it up! Furthermore, I expect you to be in my study tonight at 8 PM sharp! You'd better come, or else your punishment will double!" Arthur scolded. Putting my head down to avoid his gaze, I quietly said, "Yes, Sir Arthur. I shall clean the mess and meet you at 8 for my punishment".
He huffed while he sat down. I made my way for the doorway and sighed. Great… another night of lecture by Arthur! Seychelles… pull yourself together! You know that man loves it when you make mistakes! It gives him pleasure by how much of an imbecile you act in front of him! What kind of gentleman is he…? I just hope that tonight's lecture isn't as long and boring as the ones in the past have been.
