You slightly pant in distress and want to reach for the man, but he's long gone.
You sniffle and hold a pillow to your chest, trying not to break into a sob from all the memories.
"Milady, I've come to take you to your room." Claude says as he enters the room. You quickly turns your tear stained face away from him and nod. "Alright..."
He picks you up bridal-style and starts carrying you to your room. You hate to lie, to look at his face and say those dreaded words of bond.
"I love you." He says suddenly. You merely breathe in response, frightened.
Claude notices and glances down at you, stopping his trailing to your room. "Are you sure you are okay?" He asks with emotion laced in his voice, surprisingly. You only give a small nod in return. He sighs and brings you to your room, setting you on your bed. He kisses your forehead and turns out the lights. "Rest well,"
"my flower-"
"Don't call me that!" You yell. He blinks in a state of surprise. You cover your mouth in shock. "Claude...I'm so sorry....I don't know what that was..." You say in your shyest voice. You obviously had that outburst on purpose, so why should you truly apologize?
Claude's raised eyebrow hints at suspicion, he nods. "It's quite alright, milady. It was crude of me to call you by a nickname." He responds as he fixes his glasses. You stare for a moment before twisting your body to lay on your side, facing the wall. "Goodnight Claude.."
"Goodnight Milady."

You wake up with a pressure taken over your body, you look down to see the earl himself, Alois Trancy is laying on top of you, his arms crossed across your chest, his face ten inches from yours. He grins. "CLAUUUDDEEE!! Y/N'S AWAKE!!~~" He shouts with joy. You wince at the noise and gently nudge him off, resulting in him hugging your chest. "I was so worried..I mean, you just came inside passed out in Claude's arms..I thought you were dead at first..." He says south a sniffle. You look down to see your clothes wet with his tears. "I'm sorry to have worried you..." He buries his face in your chest. You gently lay a hand on his head.
A moent of utter silence passes, before
"Y/n..." His head shifts so he can glance up at you.
"are you not wearing any undergarments?!" He asks loudly and curiously. "Your body is so soft.."
Your face heats up at the suddenness, thankfully, Claud​​e comes in before the earl says anything more. His face perks up as he straddles your waist. "Claude!~"
You look at Claude. "Good morning.." You speak softly, holding back a giggle.
"Your highness, you should get your breakfast. It is waiting for you in your study."
Alois claps his hands in amusement. "Alright!~" He says before getting off your waist and leaving the room.
You finally let out that giggle that had been burning in the back of your throat. Claude fixes his glasses before speaking.
"I see his highness has taken a liking to you."
You sit up with a slight smile, not noting at his jealousy. "So it seems.."
Claude shuts the door and pounces over to you on the bed, pinning your arms to the sides before you can process what just happened.
"He needs to stay away, since you are mine and mine only. "
Your face heats up with embarrassment as your blood runs cold. He licks up the side of your neck as you reply with a useless squeal of shock. Claude then puts his hand along your thigh, stroking and caressing it, moving higher with every stroke. You squirm in fear, shuddering at his every touch, wondering if this is what hell was. He moves his hand to under your nightgown, and before he can process what he was going to do next, you scream in distress.

"SEBASTIAN!"
