Sebastian pondered the girl’s proposal. He could have easily lifted the petite child and escorted her out himself. The little human could not have weighed any more than a feather. However, her clear determination was quite amusing. The pitiful little thing truly believed she could outwit him.
The butler sighed. He supposed there would be no harm in a little wager. It would serve as ample entertainment after all.
"Very well." His lips curled into the smallest of smiles. "Name your wager."
Akane grinned triumphantly. She knew he couldn't resist. Of course. He had the look of a gambler about him. It danced in his lurid eyes, the only trait of his that wasn't reserved or modest. The little princess placed her hands on her hips and nodding to herself. She had to think fast. What sort of wager would he be willing to accept? More importantly, what sort could she win?
It couldn't be anything physical. Akane was well aware of her body's restrictions, and pushing it too far in any direction was a bad idea. But while a wager based on strength or endurance was the obvious choice, her selection of mental challenges remained endless. There had to be something she knew more about than he did.
"Okay. I will," She told him pridefully. Her chest buzzed with excitement. "I bet that..."
The little princess hesitated. A finger inserted itself between her lips and a frown asserted itself to her face. The butler looked confident and capable. Outwitting him would not be easy in the least bit.
"I bet...that you don't know my birthday!"
Unfair? Possibly. But he'd agreed to whatever wager Akane put forth. And she'd chosen her own birthdate. The little princess smirked. He couldn't know that date. It was impossible.
