Disowned for being a human, Vivian was taken in as a maid at the age of seven by the Carmichael household. Serving one of the most respected and elite pureblood families in Bonelake, there were rules. Rules that must be followed by all servants and maids. Like everyone else, Vivian was repeatedly reminded not to disobey the rules. But before she could learn to blend into the background like the other servants, the Duke's young son calls to her, “Bambi.” And all hell breaks loose. ----- "What? Never seen a bruise before?" Leonard scoffed at the girl. "Does it hurt?" Vivian asked, gently kneeling beside him and examining the several bruises covering his face. "Not that much." Remembering what her mother used to do when she got a bruise, Vivian brought her sleeve to her mouth and blew warm air on it before placing it on the boy's cheek, taking him by surprise. Leonard swatted her hand away, a hint of pink appearing on his cheeks embarrassed, "W-what are you doing?" "Mama told me this will make the pain go away," the girl held her hand close to her chest as she shared her past memory. "I’m not a child!” Leonard huffed at her. “I don’t think you’re a child,” she stared at him with a crystal-clear gaze. Taken aback, Leonard locked eyes with her for two seconds before shaking his head. “Don’t worry about it. They’ll heal in a day or two anyways," he reassured her before getting up and taking a seat at the table where his books were placed. "Odd girl," he muttered to himself as he pulled the top book from the stack and lost himself in it.
The head council came to lean forward, his hands on his elbows with his face blank as he looked at them. The girl seemed knowledgable like he thought the first time he had met. He still remembered that day when things had turned chaotic in the council and the lands. The escape of the black witches they had caught finally had been devasting before getting the news of them being killed.
It tingled his mind that how this girl knew about the case which had taken place before the time of her arrival here in the council.
Lord Nicholas and Leonard, on the other hand, kept their stance ready if anything were to happen in the court. Leo didn't know how and when Vivian had gathered all the information to expose the man in broad day light. He would have guessed that she would first want to talk to him. When did she change her mind?
