It was a sunny afternoon. The Castle of Beclala was at peace. Not a single sound could be heard. Our faithful Duke was in his study writing a letter. But not just any letter, no, it's a love letter to his maid. That's right, folks, The Duke, that is feared throughout the kingdom and all over the world and is known as the most deadly wolf in the land is in love. After writing that first letter about his sweet looking maid, he's been writing letters about her and what he likes about her and even more than that. As he was in the zone of writing another letter he heard a knock on the door of his study. He got spooked a bit and hid the letter in his drawer along with the others. After he hid the letters, He fixed his desk and acted normal "Come in." Said the Duke. The door opened and revealed to be Aspire, his butler. "Hello, Sire, I have come to discuss a couple of things with you." Said Aspire. "Oh, Alright, Well then, Proceed." Said The Duke. "Okay, Well, the new uniforms for the maids have arrived and are ready to be worn." Informed Aspire. "Oh, Good, Now they don't have to look completely old fashioned." Said The Duke. "I agree, and I was looking over the letter you wanted me to send to one of the other overlords, and… I think you have made a mistake. You are very lucky I caught that, otherwise, this would have been very awkward." Said Aspire. "W-Wait, What do you mean? Did I write something wrong?" Asked The Duke. "Uh… No, Sire, y-you gave me a letter that is describing some very… explicit details that are admiring about Miss. Evie." Said Aspire. The Duke went wide eyed and red in the face. His blush was so red that he could have been mistaken for a tomato. Aspire returned the letter back to The Duke and The Duke grabbed the correct letter and gave it to Aspire.
"C-Can you just.. f-forget what that letter said or that it even exists, P-Please?" Asked The Duke who was trying to cover his tomato red face. "It will be our little secret, Sire." Said Aspire. "T-Thank you, A-Aspire." Said The Duke. Aspire then left The Duke's study. Once he left The Duke dropped his forehead to his desk in embarrassment wanting to have that moment erased. "Why can't I just get her out of my mind, She's all I've been thinking about! Even when I sleep she's running through my thoughts. I have never felt this before!" Thought The Duke. Then he took a moment to compose and collect his thoughts and realized something. " Is…. Is this… what falling in love is like? How my old heart beats for someone else? Do I truly love Evie?" He Thought. He lifted his head and stared at his wall while she continued to race through his mind. Then he got up and left his study to continue his duties. He inspected to new maid's uniforms for his helps around the castle. As he was inspecting, his mind then imagined how Evie would look in it. His face then turned bright red and then shook his head to stop thinking about that. He got himself together and went back to his study. He sat in his study chair and was thinking of what else he needed to do. Just then, he heard at knock at the door. "Come in" said The Duke. The door opened to reveal Evie with the new maid dress on. "Hello, Sire, I was tasked with cleaning the study but it seems like you are busy, if you want I could wait for you to… Um.. Sire, Are you alright? Are you running a fever your face seems really red." Said Miss. Evie. The Duke was red as a tomato again but he shook his head and stopped blushing. He cleared his throat so he can get his words together. " I-I am fine, Miss.Evie. And Yes, you may clean the study now but please, stay away from my desk and documentations. I need them to be as they are." Said The Duke. "Oh okay then. Sire!" She said with a smile and got to work on cleaning the study while The Duke left the study. The Duke left to go to his bed chamber and rest for a while. He was reading but ended up falling asleep.
