I Need You; Alois Trancy x Reader

Chapter Twenty One

My Sweet Alois,

It has been boring at my manor as well, even though Yuma has been trying to keep me entertained.
I can't help but to think that you are having more fun then me, what with destroying your kitchen.
And yes, I do cook from time to time but I can't say I'm very good. Yuma usually ends up having to help me even though he insists that I'm fine on my own.
Set the time and place and I'm all yours.

Your dearest, Y/n

Alois grinned, reading the letter Claude had just delivered him.

Her sweet Alois? He couldn't help but to giggle with glee at the thought. She thought he was sweet? He wished she was this expressive when they were face to face.

And of course she knew how to cook. Alois doubted there was anything that she couldn't do. She can sing, play piano, knows how to ride a horse, and now he is aware of the fact that she can cook.

The finishing line almost had him falling out of his chair. Did she even realise how promiscuous that sounded? Alois felt like she was smart enough to know, but if she had realised it he doubted that she would've just left as it is. She would have rephrased it.

Alois dropped his head to the table, letting out a long groan. Either he was over thinking this or women were confusing as hell.

Alois' mind wondered and he couldn't help but to grin once more.

She thinks I'm sweet... Alois giggled once again at the thought.

"Claude guess what!?" He stood from his chair in excitement, Claude appearing at his side. Alois danced around his butler happily.

"Y/n thinks I'm sweet!"

"Congratulations, my Highness." Claude said, his voice calm and monotone.

Alois collapsed back into his chair, still grinning like a love sick idiot.

"I need to write her back." Alois grabbed a sheet of paper, ink, and a quill.

"I also need to figure out when our next date should take place. I really want to see her now but I have to be patient," Alois frowned. "I hate being patient."

He sighed and stared at the blank paper. "Maybe in three days? That should give her plenty of time to  prepare and do whatever girls do before they go on dates."

Alois thought it over and nodded.

"Three days. Now date ideas."

Alois went through a mental list of date ideas, trying to pick out the best option.

We could go to the chimera perhaps? Alois frowned at the thought, Scratch that, going to see a movie is sooo overused.

Alois pondered a bit more, leaning back in his chair as he thought of some more ideas.

How about star gazing then? That would mean staying up late and I'm not sure is Y/n is up to that....

We could go on a hike? That sounds like a bit too much though...

Alois groaned once more. It shouldn't be this hard to pick something to do! He can't remember a time when he was this indecisive.

If only he had someone to help him decide, not Claude. Claude would be the last person he would ask for advice when it comes to dating. A woman would be ideal, she would have better ideas then him and therefore give better advice on where the date should take place.

Wait, Alois perked up. That's it!

"Hannah!"

Not even a minute later a gentle knock sounded at the studies door. Alois quickly gave her permission to enter.

Hannah walked into the room, avoiding eye contact with the blond Earl.

"Yes, my Highness?"

"What is a good date idea?"

Hannah tried to hide her shock when Alois asked her the simple question. He was seeking her advice? She thought she would never live to see the day when he wanted her help with something.

"How about a picnic? There is this lake in the forest that is quite beautiful this time of year. I think Mistress would like the view it provides." Hannah spoke quietly but loud enough so that Alois could hear.

Alois thought the idea over then nodded. "That is a great idea! I've noticed that Y/n likes nature with how much time she has spent in my garden! Will there be any flowers at this lake?"

"There should be a few wild flowers still in bloom, but if not the trees are still lovely to look at."

Alois frowned. "I suppose that will have to do. You are dismissed."

Hannah bowed and quickly left the room.

Alois turned to the still blank sheet of paper. Now all he had to do was write the letter and send it out.

My Darling, Y/n

Our date is set three days from now on the 22nd. I will pick you up in the evening.
I am not going to tell you what we are doing and where we will go but I will tell you this. Dress comfortably and prepare to be amazed.
Also, do not eat dinner, there will be food provided.
I can't wait to see your lovely face once more.

Your sweet Alois~

I think this is my worst chapter yet. Sorry that it is short but I couldn't really figure out what else to add. Anyways, see you in the next chapter.

Ciao~
