4. Xander's Return

"How does the outfit fit?" Camilla asks.

You fidget slightly and smooth out your dress. It was rather tight and very frilly, more so than the other maids Flora and Felicia. Something told you that Camilla had you dress like this to make you cuter, as Selena had made a comment to Beruka when they shoved the dress to you.

Corrin walked by and saw you. "Hey, (Y/N). You look like a doll."

You huff in annoyance. "I'm not a doll."

Camilla shook her head. "I know someone who would disagree with you."

"Who?" You ask.

Before Corrin or Camilla could answer you, a little girl dashed towards Corrin and knocked her over, causing Camilla to laugh and you to stand there in shock.

"Big sis!" The little girl yelled.

"Hi Elise," was Corrin's muffled response. She then looked at you to explain. "(Y/N), this is our youngest sister Elise."

You curtsied. "Hello, Lady Elise."

She looked at you and smiled. "Hello, (Y/N)!" She jumped off of Corrin and dashed behind you, grabbing onto your back.

Corrin raised an eyebrow as Camilla helped her off the floor. "Why are you using (Y/N) as a human shield?"

"I'm not here," Elise replied stubbornly.

"Please don't tell me that you didn't do something to Leo before Xander arrived." Corrin muttered.

"Who's Xander?" You ask.

Camilla smiled. "Why, he's our older brother and the Crown Prince of Nohr."

You nod. "Okay." Then realization hit you. "Crown Prince?"

"Yes," Corrin replied.

You freaked out. "Oh my- I'm so sorry!" You exclaim! "I didn't know that you were royalty! I thought that you were merely nobles!"

Elise laughed. "That's funny." Corrin shook her head. "It's fine, (Y/N)... We didn't exactly tell you, and you can still treat the same way you did earlier."

You slowly nod, flustered at your behavior. As you began to regain your composure, you heard Niles laughing down the corridor.

"You look fabulous, Lord Leo!"

"SHUT UP!" Leo yelled at his retainer.

Corrin frowned. "This can't be good."

Within seconds, Leo burst into the room, angry and out of breath. You tried your best to not burst out in laughter. Leo was now wearing a maid's dress, similar to what Flora and Felicia wore. His hair was also wearing the cap that maids wore, and he was none too happy at the moment,

"Elise," he said in a low voice. "Where did you replace my clothes."

Elise didn't respond. Leo spun around, causing the dress to spin around. Corrin and Camilla began to laugh, causing Leo to eye them suspiciously.

"Do you know where Elise is?"

"No," they replied simultaneously.

Leo growled in annoyance. He looked at you, and before he could you about Elise, another blonde man entered the room. He looked older than Camilla, and had a tall and regal figure.

"Camilla. Corrin," he stated simply.

"Hi there Xander," Corrin replied while Camilla nodded her head. After Xander nodded, he turned to Leo, and he was completely thrown into shock by Leo's appearance.

"Leo... Have you developed a new hobby?" He asked incredulously.

"SHUT UP! ELISE SWITCHED OUT MY CLOTHES!!!" Leo yelled, completely losing his cool.

Xander shook his head. "Elise, you know better than to make Leo crossdress."

Elise popped out from behind you. "Sorry Leo...."

Xander turned to you. "Who are you?"

"I'm (Y/N). I came here to seek shelter, but I wound up hired as a maid."

Xander sighed. "Camilla, stop randomly hiring people on the spot."

"But she is an accomplished alchemist," Camilla responded stubbornly.

Xander paused. "Alchemist?"

You nod. "Yessir. I specialize in sleeping draughts, antidotes, maladies, and the odd potion to curse people."

Xander frowned. "Why would you curse people?"

You twirl one of your fingers in your (h/l) (h/c) out of nervousness. "Normally it's used with those who commit crimes."

Xander laughed. "Now that is understandable. Maybe we could use your talents in the future."

You curtsied. "Thank you, Lord Xander."

Xander then turned to Leo. "We're about to have dinner... You might want to change..." Leo huffed and walked off, leaving you alone with his siblings.

20 minutes later

"Where's Leo?" Elise asks as you pour her some red concoction into her glass. You were the only one serving her, as Niles had creeped out all of the other female servants, forcing Jakob to chastise him in another room. There were supposedly other retainers, but you didn't see them anywhere, forcing you to serve the Nohrian siblings.

"I think he's sulking," Camilla replied as she waved for you to pour her another glass. You approach with the pitcher and slowly fill up her glass.

"(Y/N)," Corrin asked. "Can you check on Leo?"

You nod and place down the pitcher. "Yes, milady." You curtsied and walked off to Leo's room. After a few minutes, you knock on his door.

"Odin?" He asks, muffled.

You shake your head, only to realize he can't exactly see you. "It's (Y/N), Lord Leo."

Leo growled. "What is it?"

"Your siblings are worried about you."

"I'm fine," he grumbled.

You sigh. "Lord Leo... Lady Corrin is worried about you."

After a few minutes, Leo replied, "Enter." You hesitate before opening the door. Leo was laying on his bed, looking up at the ceiling. He was wearing his normal clothes, but the maid hairpin was stuck in his now messy hair.

"I can't remove this thing," Leo muttered.

You slowly approach him. "Bobby pins."

He glances at you. "Bobby- what?"

You sit down next to him and gingerly remove the offending hairpins. "Lady Elise placed this bobby pins in to keep this item on your head."

Leo seemed relieved when the last bobby pin was removed. He grabbed one of his headbands and placed it on his head. "Thank you, (Y/N)."

You smile. "You're welcome." You then get up and walk back to the dining area. "Leo will be coming soon," you announce.

Corrin smiled. "Thank you."

You curtsied and grabbed your pitcher. As you begin to refill the drinks, Leo entered the room.

"I'm glad that you graced us with your presence," Xander stated.

Leo nodded and looked at you. "Since when did you learn how to serve nobility?"

You shrugged. "I had to do this occasionally at the local pub. My best friend would get sick occasionally, so I would do this at the pub."

Leo nodded and approached his chair, only to trip on a piece of uneven rug. He flailed around to grab something, but the thing he grabbed was your arm, forcing you both down.

"Leo! (Y/N)!" Leo's siblings jumped up and ran to help you guys. Leo was fine, but you were now covered in the red liquid.

"You can get changed," Camilla told you as she saw your outfit. "And take the night off."

You smiled and get up. "Thank you."
With one last curtsy, you run to your room to get changed as soon as possible.

Reina: Another chapter done! How many people want to see more of this? Or do you want to see what the "mystery liquid" is?

I need five votes to write the next chapter, but if I get more that six...

Leo: Don't you dare include that Hoshidian!!!!

Takumi: Include me!!!!

Reina: I wasn't going to say Takumi!!!

Leo and Takumi: *start fighting*

Reina: .... *leaves* Until next time, I guess....
