Lady Varian’s Manor And The Lord’s Visit

(Lady Varians Manor, Hallway)

Jack sighs as they walk through the hallway which is surprisingly empty considering it's almost noon, Jack approaches a door and knocks on it twice "My lady are you awake, your mother asked for you?" They get no response so they open the door to find the young lady sleeping. Jack marvels at her beauty before sighing "I wish I didn't have to disturb her but her mother will punish me if I don't" they gently nudge the young lady "My lady it's time you woke up" her eyes flutter open Jack smiles and steps back a few paces to allow her to collect her bearings "Good afternoon my lady" the young woman's eyes widen "Oh my I slept in, I guess mother sent you to wake me" Jack nods "Yes my lady" the young woman sighs "I apologise for giving you more tasks to take care of especially since the neighbouring lord is visiting soon" Jack smiles softly "It's ok my lady just make sure to sleep a little earlier next time" the woman nods "Right, I better get dressed, would you mind giving me a hand Jack" Jack nods and begins helping her into her outfit.

"Jack can ask your opinion on something?" Jack nods "As long as it stays between us my lady" the woman nods "What do you think of the suitor that came to my mother the night before" Jack helps her into her tights "I find him rather...abrasive" the woman nods "As do I he's far too flashy for my taste" Jack pulls her corset tighter "How's mother treating you as of late...she still making you wear one size below your actual?" Jack nods "Yes though, it's only the gloves as we didn't have time to finish making them" the woman smiles "Nice to hear" Jack fits her dress, shoes and gloves and finishes her makeup. "There we go, you're sure to make an impression my lady" she smiles "Thank you Jack now let us hurry I don't wish for you to be punished more" Jack nods and follows her downstairs.

(Downstairs, Main Hall)

The two walk into the hall where Lady Varian sits with a few other maids doing chores around the hall "Ah my daughter I see you are finally up" she nods and sits on the chair beside her mother "Jack I believe you are needed by Angelica" Jack nods "Understood" they head off to Angelica.

(Upper Level, Hallway Near The Maid's Quarters)

"What does my mistress want with me? I hope it's nothing negative. I don't wanna walk around in chains again". They approach the door and knock "Come in" Jack opens the door to reveal Angelica who smiles upon seeing Jack "Ah just who I wanted to see, do sit down Jack there's something important I need to tell you" Jack shuts the door and sits down "What is it Mistress?". Angelica "It's wonderful news you're being promoted to Lady Aria's lady in waiting" Jack gasps "What?" Angelica smiles "Yep you aren't a maid anymore". Jack thinks for a few moments "I can't believe...me a lady in waiting to a woman like Aria" Angelica smiles seeing Jack's shocked look "Of course you must look the part so Lady Varian has been kind enough to gather you an outfit, it's in your quarters after you finish changing report back to Lady Varian so you and Aria can be informed of what comes next". Jack nods and heads for their quarters "I wonder what my clothes look like".

(Downstairs, Main Hall a few minutes earlier)

Lady Varian sips her tea "I should also inform you my daughter that Jack will be your lady in waiting for these events from now on" Aria gasps "Really?!" her mother nods "Yes, I know how much you two get along so I figured they would be the best pick" Aria smiles "Thank you mother" she smiles "No problem dear...also my daughter promise me something" Aria nods "Anything mother" her mother gets close and whispers in her ear "If the lord try's flirting with you brush him off, his son is a fair better man then he will ever be" Aria nods and her mother smiles "Good, now we just need to wait for Jack to finish changing and come down then we can begin with your schedule for the visit".

(Jack's Quarters)

Jack opens the door to their room and finds a beautiful blue and black dress on their bed matching their braided hair along with a pair of black and blue elbow length gloves, black and blue tights and a pair of fine black and blue heels as well a blue and black lingerie set. Jack gasps and thinks "Thank you Lady Varian" they shut the door and remove their maid outfit, tights and shoes before starting to change, first putting on the lingerie then the tights then the gloves then the dress and finally Jack braids their hair into a single long ponytail. Jack finishes up by applying blue and black makeup and lipstick before posing in front of the mirror for a few seconds before opening the door and heading down to the main hall with their hands on their chest.

(Downstairs, Main Hall)

Lady Varian and Aria hear footsteps and Aria fidgets nervously wondering what her mother picked out for Jack to wear, Jack walks in and Aria jaw drops "What do you think my lady?" Aria grins "That looks beautiful, wouldn't you agree mother?" Lady Varian nods "Indeed, Sara never ceases to impress me with her outfit designs" Jack blushes "Thank you so much Lady Varian" Lady Varian smiles "Thank you Jack, now please take a seat we have a schedule to discuss". Jack sits while remembering the time when they arrived at Lady Varian's manor.

(Flashback, Hallway Near The Maid's Quarters)

Jack fidgets nervously while Lady Varian leads them to their room, they stop at a door and she opens up and Jack steps in to reveal a beautiful brown and yellow room with a wardrobe, vanity table, double bed and a desk, "This room is yours Jack" Jack gasps slightly "T-T-Thank you Lady Varian" she smiles as Angelica appears behind her "Angelica here will be your mistress when I'm not present as maid you'll be expected to do as instructed and not mess up otherwise there will be a consequence which will be carried out by either myself or Angelica. Am I understood?" Jack nods "Yes Lady Varian" Lady Varian smiles "Good, Angelica help Jack into they're outfit and show them around the manor after that send them back to me so I can give them their tasks".

Angelica nods "Of course Lady Varian" she goes into the wardrobe and pulls out the outfit which consists of a white and black lingerie set, a black and white corset, a black and white dress with a frilly apron, white arm length gloves, a white and black frilly headband and headdress, white tights and a pair of black flats. Angelica helps Jack undress before starting to help her into her outfit. She pulls the tights up Jack's legs "I'm glad you accepted her offer of working here, I assure you you'll be looked after well here as long as you don't misbehave" Jack nods "Understood Mistress" Angelica smiles and finishes pulling up the tights before helping Jack into the lingerie "Your assets and body are quite voluptuous, I'd be careful around the knights you may very well blind them with your beauty" Jack blushes "Thank you" Angelica smiles and clicks the lingerie into place "Don't mention it" she eases Jack's foot into the flats but has to force it in somewhat earning a small Yelp from Jack. "Ow" Angelica sighs "I wouldn't start yelping yet" she leans Jack against the wall and begins tightening the corset earning hurried breaths from Jack, she gives it one final tug before sitting Jack down. She then begins pulling the dress down and making sure it fits before then pulling the gloves up Jack's arms before finally putting in the headband and headdress. "There you go, now all we need to do is braid your hair and finish your makeup" she moves the chair to the vanity table and grabs a blue lipstick and applies it to Jack's lips before doing their lashes and adding a dark blue eyeshadow. Then she begins brading Jack's hair "How do you want this brading, pigtails or ponytail?" Jack thinks before responding "Ponytail" Angelica braids they're hair into a ponytail. "Their you go all done now let's go take a tour" Jack follows her out of the room".
