Butler David straightened his tailcoat before knocking on the Madame's door.

"Madame, I have the recent records of the--"

"Yes, yes. Come in," Lucy's voice sighed.

He slowly opened the door, and walked up to the her desk. However, the stacks of paper piled up on the desk, hid Lucy's face.

"M-Madame...--"

"Just leave them on that pile over there," She mumbled, as the sound of her ink pen scratching paper became louder.

"Madame...I don't think this is something we can just cast aside," Butler David hesitated.

Lucy looked at him through the crack of the piles. "Go on then."

He heaved a sigh of relief. "We have received a report on the conditions of the local orphanage."

"Alright, bring it here."

. . .

"What's the meaning of this?" Lucy asked.

"A-ah...the Emperor is meant to check the local orphanage one or twice a month to check it's condition. However, the Emperor, he..." David dwindled off his sentence.

Hey, hey, hey, hey! I know the Emperor is domineering, but I thought he was doing his job! How irresponsible!

Lucy peered at the documents Butler David handed over to me. She glanced over it once again.

Baring her teeth, she clenched the paper in her hands, causing it to crinkle.

"M-Madame--?"

Lucy shot up, and glared at David. He flinched as she hastily gathered all the documents in her hands, and stormed her way to the Emperor's office.

The two guards, who were leaning lousily against the wall, straightened up quickly as the Madame came into sight.

"M-Miss, you can't enter right now, the Emperor is busy with some important matters at the moment," the left guard spoke.

"And why not? I have something to consult with the Emperor," Lucy glared.

"I'm sorry Miss. But these rules were set by the Emperor himself," the right guard sweat nervously.
(A/N: Yes, sweat is past tense for sweat :>)

"I'm sure if the Emperor had any respect for me, His Wife, and dignity for himself, he'd let me in---!"

"It's alright, she's allowed to enter," a voice boomed.
