I calmly strode into the Varia leader's office, hands at my sides and my [H/C] locks out of my eyes. My [E/C] orbs scanned the room with little interest as I waited for the Boss to say something. My wandering gaze locked onto a blond haired boy sitting in the corner on a luxurious chair, his legs were crossed and his head was supported by his hand. I could feel him staring at me with interest, even though his eyes were completely covered by his fluffy blond hair. I quickly looked away, not wanting to be seen staring at each other and looked for something else to contemplate. Just then, my head spun around to see Lussuria, Levi, and Squalo burst into the room. Squalo and Lussuria seemed to be bickering about some nonsense that they had started in the hallway while Levi quietly made his way to the Boss's side. My eyes followed Levi and were soon on the Boss again. His chair had been turned around so the back would face me, but I could tell that this man had spiky hair, almost like Levi's. "Voooi! You still never answered me, you brat!"

Not wanting to waste my time arguing with the human megaphone, I simply stated " [F/N] ", not even looking back at him. I let out a sigh of boredom as I waited for the Boss to face me, my eyes a little more than half-lidded.

"Neh, Boss-chan~, little [F/N]-chan looks like she's getting sleepy~"

I let out a lazy 'hn' and smoothly swiped a strand of [H/C] away from my face. Just then, the boss spun around and look examined my figure, his deadly eyes piercing right into me. "I've heard that you're not as weak as you look, is that true, trash?" His harsh voice hadn't moved me, unlike Levi, who had flinched at the sudden question.

"You could say so~" I bluntly said, bored by the Boss's room. Something clicked in my mind as I saw a dark figure flash in the corner. My [E/C] orbs widened a bit with slight interest as the focused on that spot.

"Trash, pay attention when I'm talking to you" The man rudely spat, letting out a menacing growl that would've made any average person shiver in fear. Although, I wasn't just any person, I was much more, and that was exactly why the Varia wanted me.

"Yes sir~" I voice still kept its bored monotone, but was also laced with what may have been a bit of sarcasm. This probably ticked of the boss because soon after I made my smart alack comment, he viciously threatened me and told Lussuria to take me to my room. While following behind Lussuria once again, I heard the boss-man dismiss the rest of the Varia, but right before I stepped out of the door, I heard an odd laugh from behind me.

"Ushishishishi" You looked back and saw the blond standing behind you, with a huge Cheshire grin plastered on his face. "Neh Lussuria~ I'll escort our guest while you start making dinner~"

"That'd be wonderful~ Oh, I mean if you don't mind [F/N]-chii~"

"Whatever~" I had already started down that hallway when I replied, knowing where my room had been so Lussuria walked in the opposite direction, heading to the kitchen. As I turned the corner, I heard footsteps behind me, and felt the same stare from when I was in Boss's office. Waiting for the right moment, I spun around on one heel and looked at the blond with my bored expression, with one hand on my hip and most of my weight on my left leg.

"Neh~, when escorting a lady to her room, you must be the one to lead" I paused for a moment then added, "Like a gentleman" As I stared at him, I noticed his smirk getting wider as he repeated that one-of-a-kind laugh.

"Ushishishishi, Looks like the Princess has spunk~" When I heard the odd nickname, I wondered for a moment, but realization hit me. My eyes wander to the top of his head and pointed out the shiny silver tiara placed atop his head. I had heard before, that a member of the Varia had been a Prince who fought with knives, appropriately called 'Prince the Ripper'.

"Hm~, if you want me to be the Princess then shouldn't I get the name of my Prince~?"I played along with his Prince-act to see if anything interesting would happen. It was as if I were testing his royalty.

"Belphegor~, but you may call me whatever you like. Now, if you'd kindly, I'd like the name of my lovely Princess"

"Well Bel~, as a Prince" I paused as a playful smirk dawned my face, "You must earn the right to know your Princess's name~"And with that, I turned to face the door to my room, and walked in, locking it behind me. "Looks likes this isn't going to be so boring, after all~"


Karina: I'm so tired... I hope these are liked just as much as they were on Quizilla. :[
