Claris peeked from the window of the Freesis manor, just in time to see the prince exit his carriage and notice that Ann was not present.<span style="font-style: italic">Where is she?</span>She looked around for her friend and noticed that she was standing outside behind the family which owned the manor. Potentially dangerous. Claris changed her mind, somewhat dangerous. She opened the main door and stalked to Ann and pulled her by the arm. "What are you doing? We have to do the laundry!" She tugged, "Before-" she glanced over her shoulder, "before Mary sees you..." It was lame attempt to get Ann in the manor as Mary was already outside and running towards the prince.<br/><br/>******<br/><br/><span style="color: #6296ff">"H-H-Hey Kyle!" Called a voice just as Kyle stepped out of the carriage and was immediately hugged around the torso by a girl, no older than ten.<br/><br/>He pried her hands off gently and set the girl down. "And who might this be?" He asked in mock curiosity.<br/><br/>"I'm Mary. Don't you remember me?" the child pouted.<br/><br/>"Let's see... Oh, I remember you! You were so small when I last saw you!" Kyle laughed, even as the girl started beating him with her hands before running back into the house, past two maids. Kyle nodded at the both and turned his attention as Keel Freesis walked over.<br/><br/>"Welcome to Elphegort."<br/><br/>"Thanks."<br/><br/>"I still remember what your mother said when I suggested for you to come to Elphegort."<br/><br/>Kyle grunted and smiled, following his friend into the mansion.</span><br/><br/>******<br/><br/><span style="color: #fff962">After the initial welcome ceremony, they were left at part of the palace where accommodation for both the princess and her servants. Allen had immediately set the servants to check the princess's would-be quarters and to remove anything which was deemed foreign. He left to check the kitchen and left Vesta with the princess, vaguely hoping that she would be of some use. Less than five minutes, after the quarters were checked and tidied (not much effort was needed), Allen escorted the princess to her rooms, forcing Vestas to stop outside the antechamber and closing the door behind him.</span><br/><br/>******<br/><br/>Vestas was still staring daggers into Allen's back when the door closed in her face, causing her to jerk and leave, resolving to wander the quarters until dinner was served in the servants' rooms.
