Bambi and the Duke

Disowned for being a human, Vivian was taken in as a maid at the age of seven by the Carmichael household. Serving one of the most respected and elite pureblood families in Bonelake, there were rules. Rules that must be followed by all servants and maids. Like everyone else, Vivian was repeatedly reminded not to disobey the rules. But before she could learn to blend into the background like the other servants, the Duke's young son calls to her, “Bambi.” And all hell breaks loose. ----- "What? Never seen a bruise before?" Leonard scoffed at the girl. "Does it hurt?" Vivian asked, gently kneeling beside him and examining the several bruises covering his face. "Not that much." Remembering what her mother used to do when she got a bruise, Vivian brought her sleeve to her mouth and blew warm air on it before placing it on the boy's cheek, taking him by surprise. Leonard swatted her hand away, a hint of pink appearing on his cheeks embarrassed, "W-what are you doing?" "Mama told me this will make the pain go away," the girl held her hand close to her chest as she shared her past memory. "I’m not a child!” Leonard huffed at her. “I don’t think you’re a child,” she stared at him with a crystal-clear gaze. Taken aback, Leonard locked eyes with her for two seconds before shaking his head. “Don’t worry about it. They’ll heal in a day or two anyways," he reassured her before getting up and taking a seat at the table where his books were placed. "Odd girl," he muttered to himself as he pulled the top book from the stack and lost himself in it.

Behind the floor- Part 1

When Leonard had given out the information on the second Lord's death, he had told it to be a natural death but at that time it had seemed that he had hidden something from her. Was it a confidential matter which was not to be told to anyone?

The council had cleverly put the new examines to take up the test and try to solve the case which they couldn't. Without giving out more than necessary details, the exam was given to solve where all the nine of them had started to work on without knowing where to start. As she pondered on it, she heard a commotion start outside and she hurried there to see what had happened.

She heard the councilman ask an examine, "When was the last time you saw him?"

"I think it was this early in the morning before the dawn broke, though my memory isn't quick as I had gone to sleep late myself," the lowly vampire answered.
