Bella's hummed to herself getting ready for the day ahead for the last half year she had been working as a maid in one of the richest family's home. While the work kept her busy she had been rather alone in the chores of the day though in her short time and the manor she was ranked the highest of servants. Today however would be her greatest test of all, that of the task of showing her youngest sister the ropes. If something went wrong Belle knew she would be the one the master blamed.

Aurora swallowed hard as she knocked on the door or where her sister lived, the servant quarters beneath the large manor house of her employers. She smoothed out her uniform which had been given to her as a birthday present, ensuring her hair was neat and tamed as well as the fact she had a clean face.

Having finished dressing Belle opened the door smiling when she saw who it was. "You look wonderful sister, come in and I'll give you the list of your chores for the day then show you around. Now, mind the lord of the manner and always remember to greet him as such. NEVER look him in the eye save when he demands of it."

"Thank you Belle" she said, walking in as she put her small suitcase down, nodding at what her sister said. "Yes sissy... Erm how do I greet him, and what of his son?" She asked, looking up at her older sibling with large nervous eyes, her fingers twirling together as she did

"Here you must call me Miss Belle, as for the lord you call him "My lord" his son..." she rolled her eyes and the thought of him. "You call him 'master' you can look him in the eyes but I never do. He's... well he's different from the lord but..." she trailed off shaking her head. "You'll see for yourself. Now, have you eaten yet or shall we get started?"

Belle placed a hand on her sisters shoulder smiling softly. "You'll do wonderfully, as with everything you do in you life. You make people happy just by being in the same room as them. Now follow me, his lordship will want to meet you."

She looked up at her, smiling ever so slightly as she nodded, looking back down at her feet with a slight blush "Thank you Sis... Miss Belle..." SHe paled slightly, looking up at her scared at her last words. She swallowed hard, nodding. "Please... Lead the way"

"Easy, just remember I'm not just your sister here but also...y...your boss. Man that sounds strange, telling my sister what to do isn't going to be easy." she paled herself a little knowing what might happen if she didn't. "Just take a few deep breaths and we'll get on the way. I just hope the master isn't back yet."

"See you at least remember your mistakes and to hold your tongue to correct yourself." Belle assured before stopping. "H...he's not worse per say....just....well..." she couldn't think of the right words. "To me his lordship is worse though I think it's the fact that I am under his watch that makes me think so."

"Oh, I see..." SHe said, breathing in deeply as she followed her sister up the stairs which led from what was now home to both of them and up into the actual house itself. Aurora fought the urge to look around and admire the many priceless objects on display, her mind too busy panicking over what this meeting would bring

"Beautiful aren't they?" Belle asked as she moved through the large house. "Most of the objects here belonged to the lady of the house before she died. The master never so much as looks at them anymore but refuses to sell them and be very careful if needing to handle them" She remembered having nearly broken one and the scares she had earned because of it.

"Oh yes they are Miss" she said softly, swallowing hard as she heard a knock at the door before a strong male voice called "Entre"

"Let me go in first, he'll be much more pleased if you see to him alone. Though I'll let him both know that we are here and check to see if there are any other chores to be done. Remember what I said and you'll do fine"
With that Belle hugged her sister quickly before turning and walking into the room her eyes cast low and curtseyed low waiting for her lord to speak before she did.
