It was that time of year again when most noblemen and women took their servants to the best clothing store to find their masters a couple of new attires for the cold upcoming weather. During the week it wasn't as busy as the weekends so Lord Hakuseki decided he'd drag out his one and only servant out to visit the best stores in the London area. They have been wandering around for hours now with nothing bought yet.
Lord Hakuseki's servant, named Valshe, had a hard time pleasing her master. He liked nothing that she had offered and she could see his blood pressure rising every time she showed him something he 'absolutely hated'. Such a picky man.. He did not even allow Valshe to look like the lady.. well.. girl she used to be before he bought her. He forced her to cut her blonde hair above her shoulders and made her wear male attire making her look even more masculine than she already was, despite the fact that she's rather skinny. And on top of that he does not refer to Valshe as 'she' any more. For five years straight it has been 'he'.
They have arrived at the last store which one of the highest rating for nobleman attires. Lord Hakuseki let Valshe do all the talking and let her pick out the attires that he might like. It was risky though, this was the last store.. and if Valshe doesn't please her master she'll be punished. She needed a lot of time which she did not have. Her blue orbs scanned over the hundreds of different complete clothing sets and picked a few out, hoping that at least one of them would please Lord Hakuseki.
"No. No. Never in a million years. Are you kidding me? Disgusting." Lord Hakuseki spat as Valshe showed him the clothing sets she picked out in his size. He approached his servant and slapped the clothing out of her hands and gave her a rather forceful push to the floor. She knew what was coming once Lord Hakuseki got a hold of his walking cane. "You're a useless brat." He snapped at the young servant, hitting her with the walking cane while she had folded her arms to cover her face. She did not protest, she wasn't allowed to. She whimpered, groaned in pain. Feeling the bruises on her arms, chest and legs.
Lord Hakuseki managed to hit Valshe against her head once, making her yelp. She could taste the blood.. Why didn't anyone help her? Why didn't the store clerk do anything?
