Outside your windows, it’s a dark yet moonlight-filled night. Even for an all-powerful being such as Claude himself.īut powerful or not, you find yourself raising from your spot on the bed and crossing the room to get to him. And from what you’ve come to know of little Alois Trancy, you realized that it’s a perfectly valid feeling. His head hangs low and his shoulders sag as he’s finally releasing the weight of the entire world from his aching grip. The door to your shared bedroom in the servant’s quarter closes behind him as he slumps against the mahogany. The furthest thing.Īt your soft coo, he instantly deflates. That is the Claude that the whole world knows. Perhaps they have no idea of just how accurate they are when they insult him with their hushed whispers and their fearful side eyes. And perhaps when they say demon, they think that he is so in the most literal sense of the word. This is the man they see- only occasionally- running errands with a look on his face that told the commonfolk that this man was not to be trifled with. This is the man they see taking utmost care with his duties with the deepest of frowns on his face and sharpest of eyes that have ever been shaped by the creator’s hands. No matter how much the most insufferable of men try to best him. No matter how much the most spoiled of brats try to torment him. With every drop of professionalism and patience in the entire world.īecause He’s the only man capable of handling the Earl Trancy and all his attitudes and fits. For the sole purpose of following orders.Īnd he does that.
For the sole purpose of being a doll, a toy, a friend to be pushed around day in and day out by a dreadful charge. It was as if he was born and bred for the sole purpose of being able to butter the bread of an entitled child. He every single one of his i’s and he crosses every single one of his t’s without fail and without complaint. His manners, his words, and the absolute and utter perfection of his every action are enough to tell you of his supposed upbringing and his grooming. He’s the intimidating butler of the Trancy family home. The Claude everyone knows holds a permanent grow on his face.
