Dating A Nightmare
Ep1
Arletta's office. 10AM. Sunday
Corey
(where is she..? I've been sitting here for hours by now)
Butler
My apologies for the inconvenience but Ms. Arletta will not be able to meet you today
Corey
I'm here by the order of the Emperor... I don't think I can leave.
Butler
this is really hard for me
Corey
Is there any chance for me to meet the Lady today?
Corey
I still have to settle in, sir..
Butler
*sigh*
I'll see what I can do
a few minutes later... 🐣🐣🐣
Arletta
Good morning to you too
Corey
Oh- umm.. good day, your grace..
Corey
(Goodness, she reeks of alcohol)
Arletta
*slumped on the office chair*
Arletta
*rubbed forehead annoyingly*
Arletta
Urgh... seriously why are you here so early??
Corey
...um.. it's 10 o'clock.. mam'...
Arletta
*look at the clock*
Arletta
oh what the actual f-
Arletta
argh my head is killing me
Arletta
can you go get me some water?
*waved her hand at the Butler*
Butler
*sigh*
right away, Ms.
Arletta
aren't you going to introduce yourself or something??
Arletta
stop standing there like a statue
Corey
... If I introduce myself, will you actually listen?
Corey
I can always introduce myself to you when you're feeling better, my Lord.
Arletta
are you calling me a mess?
Corey
I didn't say anything of that kind.
Corey
But General seems to be unwell and I don't want to create anymore discomfort.
Corey
.... are you.. hungover..?
Arletta
Yeah, what else??!!
Corey
Why did you drink so much..?
Arletta
None of your business, you prick
Corey
It will be my business, His majesty sent me to help you with this..
Arletta
tell my brother he can go and suck it
Arletta
I can chop off your head anytime I want
Corey
I'm here to help, if you don't want it, I can always tell his Majesty and leave.
Arletta
Don't use my brother to threaten me
Corey
I'm not threatening, I'm saying it
Arletta
F-ck it, I'm too tired to deal with your attitude
Arletta
tell the Butler to help you or something, I don't care
Arletta
stay out of my way
Corey
I will be out of your sight until you're feeling better
Arletta
get out of my office
Corey walked out of the office
Corey
(Oh my god what have I done???!!!!! I'm so dead!!!! 💀💀💀)
Corey
(she's gonna sober up and send my head flying 😭😭😭)
Corey
(I'm too young to die..)
Corey
*having her life flash before her eyes*
Butler
Are you feeling alright?
Corey
I'm ok, Lord Arletta told me to ask you for help me move in?
Butler
That's correct, please come with me.
The Butler brought Corey to a bedroom prepared for her. A grand bedroom with balcony, walk in closet, ensuit bathroom and a separate desk area.
Corey
(Oh wow.. this is amazing)
Butler
This will be your personal room, Ms. Arletta tried her best to get this room as comfortable as possible for you.
Butler
You had a long trip today, I'll let you rest and settle into your room. If you need anything just ring the bell, a maid would come to help you.
Corey
Oh, wow.. Thank you Mr.
Corey
But.. can I ask you something before you go?
Corey
Is Ms. Arletta always.. like this?
Butler
She's not always.. like that.
Butler
She has her reasons to do the things she does.
Butler
I can assure you the Lady is very kind at heart. You'll see once you get to know her.
Corey
Thank you sir. Please tell Lady that I'm very grateful about the accommodation she has prepared for me.
Butler
Have a good day, Lady Corey.
Corey
(I guess this is it)
Corey
(I'll be stuck here until she gets married)
Corey
The Emperor is such a scheming man sometimes.. hm..
Corey
no matter, I can do this.

Ep2
Butler
Good evening Ms. Wave
Corey
Good evening Mr Butler, sir.
Madam Claire
Oh a new member, how wonderful
Corey
It's lovely to meet you.. Mrs..
Madam Claire
Call me Madam Claire
Madam Claire
I wonder if Ms. Arletta will join us today
Butler
She was in her office just now, she said she'll join us in a bit.
Corey
(´｡• ᵕ •｡`) I hope she's feeling better, I still haven't had a great chance to get to know her yet
Madam Claire
Oh you're a very nice young lady..
Corey
•-• ... is something wrong..?
Butler helps the maid to set up the dishes for dinner
Corey watches as the maids set up 2 extra dishes on the opposite sides of the dinner table.
Corey
May I ask something, Madam Claire?
Madam Claire
Go ahead, child.
Corey
Excuse my curiosity.. I understand one extra plate is for Lady Arletta but what about the other one?
Madam Claire
Oh it's just a family tradition..
Corey
a little bit wasteful if no one is going to eat it...
Butler
Ms. please don't say that
Corey
Oh I am so sorry (;;;・_・)
Madam Claire
We understand your view, we just can't change it
Corey
It's Ms. Arletta's order?
Arletta
So what if it is my order?
Corey
Lord Arletta.. (• ▽ •;)
Arletta
Do you have a problem with how we do things around here?
Corey
No, no, of course not.
Arletta
Nothing to concerns you
Arletta angrily sits down at her plate and everyone has dinner in the awkward silence
Arletta
Madam Claire, have you been out in the garden yet?
Madam Claire
Oh yes my lady, the flowers are blooming.
Arletta
Good then, you should water them more. They are yet to be at their full potential.
Arletta
I need a new set of fabric and could you visit the antic store like you said you would?
Butler
I'll do that first thing in the morning, mam'
Arletta
uh huh, don't let me down this time
Corey
(what is she, dictator?)
Arletta
And you, girl. What's your name?
Corey
My name is Corey, Corey Wave, my lord.
Arletta
Yeah yeah whatever
Arletta
you are going to be my assistant, correct?
Arletta
Right, I'll send you some paperwork tomorrow so you can somewhat grasp the work I do.
Corey
Yes, I'll do my best.
Arletta
I don't want your best.
Arletta
Your work, my standards.
Corey
(aaaaahhhh I'm doomed x-x)
Arletta
If you're going to be my assistant you need to be the best, I can't allow mistakes.
Corey
Yes Mam' I will be extremely careful
Arletta only had half of her meal and quickly retreated to her office.
Corey
... she eats so little
Butler
*sigh*
she never finishes her meals..
Madam Claire
That's just how she is
Corey
Ms. Arletta is very strict and um.. grumpy..
Butler
*chuckle*
that's a nice way to say it
Madam Claire
She's a grumpy lady
( ´ ▽ ` )
Corey
(• ▽ •;) oh I didn't mean it to be bad..
Butler
it's alright Ms. Wave
Butler
Her grace is always a bit harsh in her words and work ethics.
Madam Claire
She's such a darling when it comes to people she knows
Corey
(｡・ε・｡) she was a bit harsh to you too, madam Claire.
Madam Claire
oh no, I love gardening. Her grace brought a lot of new flowers back for me to grow.
Madam Claire
She's very thoughtful
Corey
will she um.. kill me tomorrow if I umm.. (• ▽ •;)
Butler
*chuckle*
of course not, my lady
Butler
Her grace won't be that unreasonable.
Corey
(• ▽ •;) that's good to know, I was about to have a heart attack just now
Madam Claire
*laugh*
oh you're one funny kid.
Madam Claire
You look just like-
Butler
like a wonderful comedian, we used to know
Butler
Ahem... it's getting late, you should return to your room soon.
Corey
Oh no, let me help you clean up the table.
Madam Claire
It's fine, little one. You'll need lots of rest for tomorrow's work.
Madam Claire
You'll do great
Butler
You'll be just fine
Corey
Thank you for your comforting words. And a very wonderful dinner.
Butler
Goodnight, lady Corey
Corey returned to her room, before she left the dinning room she glanced back at the extra meal that was left untouched.
