The door in the main hallway opened a young boy having entered making noise and mess from the mud on his boots from his days ride.
Belle entered her eyes as always low, walking to the middle of the room and as always dropped to one knee. "You wished to speak to me my lord?"

Aurora froze, turning slowly to face him looked up at the new face to her, swallowing hard "M... m May I h h help you"
"Yes I did, about your sister, rise girl rise" he said, as he stood and walked around his desk to the front

"You dare look me in the eye girl? WHO ARE YOU?" The boy shouted rising his hand to hit her though stopping. "ANSWER ME"
Belle did so though kept her eyes fixed on a spot on the floor. "I hope she pleased you my lord. I know that she is shy but it will leave her in time."

She shrieked, falling to the floor cowering, trembling heavily as she did "Aua... Auror... Aurora... The new... New m m maid sir..."
"She does indeed please me, very much so. A fine looking thing, will look good on my sons arm. Though if this shyness persists and she fails to speak properly, you are to punish her else you shall be"

"New maid ha? I take it then you don't know who I am or any better. You're sister will account for your actions then. Get up, find her and get out of my sight"
Belle nodded her head inwardly. "If it pleases my lord I shall teach her and I'm sure she'll find her place on the masters arm. It is my mistake in not helping her better with her manner my lord and therefore the punishment should be mine."
She heard her sister's fearful shriek then worry coming to her face as it turned, for a slight moment forgetting her place. "Aurora?"

"No, please Master, please" she begged, bowing to him fully as she trembled. "Please do not hurt Miss Belle, hurt me, I should have known better, please Master" she pleaded, keeping her head bowed low
"Ah, it would seem she has met my boy already, you are free to return to your duties, just remember to work on the girl"

"You dare now talk back to me?" he looked down at her seeing a bug before him one he'd rather steep on and forget about. "I told you to FIND HER and GET OUT OF MY SIGHT"
"Yes my lord, right away" she said turning and running from the room. "Aurora?" she yelled racing down the stairs and finding her.

Aurora leapt to her feet, running to her sister, trembling so much she constantly fell over as she ran. She clung to her the moment she did, whimpering as she buried her face in her chest
Leroy sighed as he walked out of his office and towards where the noise was coming from, standing where he could see the three of them, clearing his throat

For the first time in her time at the manor Belle forgot about everything else but her sister she held her tightly as she cried wondering what had happened though knew enough to keep her mouth shut.
"Shh easy" she soothed not hearing his lordship only the heart breaking sobs.

"Antony, what did you do to the poor girl?" Leroy asked his son, arms crossed as he looked at his son, clearly unimpressed.
Aurora wept heavily into her sister, clinging to her as she did, looking up at her with large terrified eyes

"Nothing. I've not touched her though someone should be punished for not teaching this girl her place."
Belle's face dropped knowing the Anthony's threat was more then that. The boy had always meant what he said when it came to punishment.
"Please master, what is it that Miss Aurora did to displease you so? I will make sure she doesn't do it again" Belle pleaded wanting to save her sister from any and all pain.

"Belle, please take your sister way for a moment till she is calm while I speak to my son." Leroy said, walking closer to his son, shaking his head slowly
"I'm sorry..." Aurora whimpered, clinging to her sister, eyes large as she looked around her bewilddered almost

"Of course my lord" she said taking her sisters hand and slowly leading her from the room and into the kitchen once the door closed she sat her sister down getting a cloth and wetting it along with a glass of water. The water she handed to her sister as she then used the cloth to clean the tears away. "What happened?"

"WHat happened Antony?" He asked his son, looking him dead in the eye. "The poor girl is nervous enough without you yelling at her for an accident on her first day"
"I was going to the kitchen, like you told me to when the front door opened and he walked in... I didn't know who he was so I didn't look down or anything..."

"Accident? Please. She looked at me, questioned me and worst of all talked BACK to ME. She should know better you struck Belle for far less then that on her first day here so... either you punish her or I will. Less you are going soft now father"
"You didn't look down is that all? You're still trembling so much"
