Prologue

I seek out for something, something very special to me. I look for it everywhere around the house.

"Here you are!" I pull out my stuffed bunny and hugged him close. "You're so Kawaii~" I rubbed his nose with mine.

"You're right. I must get going. I'm gonna be late for work if I just play with you." I sat him on the shelf and smiled. I placed on his hat and scurried to get dressed.

I closed the door behind me and hopped happily to the bus stop. After hoping on and paying, I wait until I got there, and hopped off.

"I'm gonna be late." I believe I can do it. I believe I can arrive at work in thirty seconds!!!! I dashed off and ran to the locker room and changed out, turning into a maid. I quickly started working, sweeping the floors and dusting the stair railings.

"Ms. Rose?" A young lass about the age of 16 came up to me. "The mistriss would like to speak to you."

"What about?" I asked as I leaned the broom against the wall. I wiped my hands against my apron and looked at her in the eye.

She shook her head and looked at me with eyes filled with pity.

I knocked on her door and said softly, "I'm coming in." I turned the knob and the mistress was sitting on the couch.

"Close the door behind you." I quietly closed it behind me and I sat down in front of her in her luxurious couches. "I'm afraid."

"Of what, mistress?" I pour her tea and set it in front of her. She took a sip before answering.

"I'm afraid I have to declare bankruptcy."

"You... You're going to...end this?"

"Yes. Thank you for your hard work. I shall pay you at the end of this week. Please work hard."

She left and closed the door behind her, knowing I needed some time. After a while I followed her out and closed the door behind me.

"Ha...now what? I don't have a working place anymore..." My stuffed bunny didn't say anything.

"I should look for hiring ads." I propped myself onto my elbow and searched through my phone.

The doorbell rang multiple times, ruining my mood. I opened the door and plastered a smile across my face.

"Sorry, I'm not interested---" I stopped. "Oh. Do you have any business with me?'

"Come home."

"What do you mean?"

I looked at his face and realize his beauty, the pale face, his sky blue eyes, and the silky black hair. His eyes gazed straight into mine and suddenly all the memories came back.

He was my childhood friend and bodyguard, the one father hired for me when we were little. But now that I see him, he's all grown up.

"H-heinz?" I looked up, he was towering over me.

Finally, he said, "Your father is waiting."
