I followed the well mannered butler down the hall may-rin ran down. By the time we got to the room she had already finished. I guess my injury is really slowing me down more than I thought.
Wail we were walking I noticed something strange, the butler seem a bit stiff wail walking it was vary slight. My guess is that he has a poeticize, but something telling me that's not it. It seems like he is just getting use to walking again, not that he had forgotten but that is had been a while. I dismiss the thought as he turns to me to speak.
"This will be your room for the time being," he doesn't seem overly happy about me staying, "their are bandages and a clean set of cloths for you, I hope you enjoy your stay here," he finishes with a smile. He whispers something to may-rin and they hurry off.
I remove all my weapons; five kuni in a pouch on my thigh ,a katana strapped to my back , twin pistols at my hips ,and my boot knife. I'm honestly surprised they let me in with all but the boot knife in plain view. I quickly wrap my wounds and change into the dress they left me. A simple maroon dresses nothing fancy but better than what I was wearing. My wavy dark hair hung around my shoulders; I promptly start looking for something to tie it up with to no avail. I decide to leave it as is for the time being. I quickly slide my boot knife back into place, better safe than sorry. I approach the door.
As I place my hand on the door handle a knock come from the other side startling me. I jump back "na," escaping my lips before I could think. realizing my mistake my hands fly to my mouth. One hand slowly reaches up and feels the top of my head. I let out a sigh of relief knowing my secret is still safe.
" miss Kikiya," comes the butler's , Sebastian I think, voice from the other side of the door "are you alright?" he sounds vary concurred, more than some random stranger should.
I straiten up and smile as I open the door " I'm alright ,but thank you for the concern" he looks a little taken aback ,but by what I'm not sure.
He recovers quickly and says " if your ready, the master is ready to speak to you," it wasn't an invite it was an order, it would make sense that they keep a close eye on me considering I announced that I'm an assassin when I walked in the door.
I am escorted to the earl's study. He is sitting calmly behind his desk waiting for me. " I would say 'lets get strait to business' but I would appreciate if you would remove your weapon"
"I'm quite sorry," I pull out my knife and set it on the table " ,but you cant blame a girl in an unfamiliar environment for wanting to protect herself. What puzzles me , my lord, is your knowledge of my weaponry."
" it was quite obvious my maid and yourself are acquainted, so she told me of your tendency to carry hidden weapons whether you feel threatened or not" the small child is so cute I almost forgave him for killing my closest friends.
" that's clever, so then what questions do you have for me. I'm sorry but I'm not the patient type."
"alright" he smiles " ill make this quick then I want to know your story, the whole thing,because , to be honest I'm curious about you. Namely your American accent the authentic Japanese weapons, and how you got to London."
I cant help but smile " I have been waiting for someone to ask me that question for a long time,"
