Chapter 2: Breakfast of Luxury

The both of them were similar by blood, but also treated very different just due to a difference of age. This world was home to four large kingdoms, however our family resides in Zena, the kingdom of flowerful ice.

Or rather...

The kingdom of memories.

"c-claire..."

It was an eerie sound but was gradually growing louder.

"Claire..."

The soft voice grew sharper and ringed through her ears.

"Claire!!!!"

Snow white hair, peaking into her vision as it fluffed up and down. Our lady was worried or ecstatic. Claire's head tilted down and stared with a stoic demeanor with a hint of slight surprise. Only after a moment , did she speak and slowly at that.

"Lady....Lave"

It was soft spoken and brought along a brief pause.

"Your scheduled t-"

Cut off abruptly, a small thin finger was placed on my lips. As though they knew what was going to be spoken, she stated. " Breakfast, Etiquette lessons, History lessons, Lunch.." and paused.

"Was that everything?"

A curious young lady wondered and a brief nod was given along with a sure placed finger removed from her lips. Claire's gaze slowly followed her ladies visage as they were walking to the exit while humming. Following shortly after, she escorted the Lady down a long hallway.

The walk was accompanied by a one sided conversation. Though uninterested, they listened to her excitements and worries.

Some person named Lord James and Some fool named Lord Adam.

The plight of her lady was ever so dense. This caused the stride in their walk to be slow and calm.

"He had such a nice voice..."

"I see"

"Nice brown hair"

"brown?"

"Yes, kind of. I may have forgotten because of his Emerald eyes"

"Oh..."

"He was definitely charming"

"I...don't know Milady, the snow has yet to melt"

Her hand reached for the door knob once she neared the dining room. With a twist it opened and she entered behind Lady Lave who seemed to cover her mouth laughing shyly with a hint of elegance.

Following behind her lady, she pulled out the chair a bit for them to sit down. It being mostly loud and talkative as the two young masters talked boasting about the accomplishments.

After a while, Puffed snow white hair accompanied with a red ribbon seemed to peak out of the chair to the right and golden hues full of life stared needlingly to Claire. The strong allurer lured her to her lady and she leaned forward close to listen to her words

Her eyes looked to the two assigned butlers of the young masters. Ageil and Minta before looking to the head butler Dilmun.

She spoke "The Young lady has ordered the servants to exit the room."

The servants looked angered and left the room, perhaps because it was being relayed through herself. They all exited the room, after making sure , she was about to follow suit when her sleeve was pulled.

"Claire.."

Lady Lave motioned her to come closer and she listened once more to her whisper.

"Lelivon Tea and Vanilla Cake?"

Clare stared for a moment and thought for a moment. However it felt like a long silence or long awkward moment for those surrounding the table.

She whispered back " Chocolate " and Lady Lave replied. "Cookies?"

Claire responded with "Tarts".

There was a brief pause between both women. Claire then nodded meaning the contract was sealed. During her interaction, she scanned the table. The young masters looked angry and disgusted, the mother was more curious to why her youngest daughter was wasting her time with a disgrace and a father who was indifferent but looked on with distaste.

She rose up, turned to walk towards door and later exited the dining room.

Claire walked away, the luxury of laughter returned and muffled from behind a slight closed door.
