JANUARY 23RD, 1892
LONDON, ENGLAND
“Thank you,” you hugged yourself, wrapping your arms to keep the thick fleece robe secure around your bare figure as Mey-Rin hauled a heavy tin basin of steaming water with two hands. You sat on the edge of your bed, simply watching the maid struggle to carry the basin for the final few feet to the interior of the attached lavatory. She had apologized time and time again for the lack of running water since it was only installed in Lord Phantomhive’s personal quarters and the kitchen, rather than the assorted rooms of the main house. Apparently, they were planning to finish renovations when the Earl made his yearly move to his townhouse in the interior of London, but in lieu of your arrival, both happenings were canceled. However, whether the water was pushed by some innovative pipes, or dragged up the main stairs made no difference to you. After all, you were well adjusted to going through the tedious bathing process without a willing servant at your disposal.
“Ah- of course- Your- Highness-!” Mey-Rin managed through labored breaths, finally putting the basin next to the opulent clawfoot tub.
Nonchalantly, you stood up from your bed, your hand running over the top quilt to smooth the wrinkles that surfaced from your moving. You followed Mey-Rin into the lavatory and loitered beside the open door as you watched her work.
The tub’s feet were constructed with pure silver, holding up the white porcelain body of the appliance. “Are you sure I can’t be of more help to ya?” she asked before quickly pushing up her falling glasses with two fingers. Tucked in her apron was a dry washcloth that she put over the rim of the tub, paired with a bar of ivory soap and a crystal bowl of lavender essential oil. She poured small spoonfuls of the essential oil into the water, the scent of lavender momentarily calming the hyperactivity of your nerves.
“I am quite certain, yes,” you recalled how you had requested a change in scents when she originally offered a combination of rose and honey. The scent of roses never failed to bring you back to the lavatory of the woman you drowned. She decorated her entire estate with red and pink roses, down to bathing in the scent with perfumes and oils. That woman- Agatha Tolton- was the reason you could only bathe in tubs with a little more than an inch full of water inside and meticulously dip your washcloth in the remaining basin water to dab on your body.
“Right, Your Highness. I’ll be back with your tea,” Mey-Rin squealed, pulling a matching beige towel out of the linen closet by the bathroom’s door. She put it on the lid of the toilet (which surprisingly, had plumbing) and showed herself out, closing the door behind her.
Finally left to your lonesome, you picked up the tin basin with a grunt and slowly poured a good quarter of the water into the porcelain tub. You wondered how Mey-Rin was able to haul it up the main staircase and down the winding corridor every other night when all you needed to do was pick it up for a few seconds. Steam now rose from both the tub and the basin, which was hot to touch, leaving your palms red from merely moments of direct contact. After setting it down again, your arms too weak for your preference, you shouldered off your robe and quickly stepped into the tub, the hot water encompassing your feet and drawing goosebumps all over your scarred skin.
Sitting down, the water only came to your kneecaps which was too shallow for drowning. Agatha always liked her water up to her chin and not an inch less. She needed a team of three maids on her bathing service, one to wash her hair and two to lather her body as it submerged in rose water. You had waited two weeks exactly for her servant rotation to put you on the bathing team, and two days to put you in charge of her hair. The maiden charged with Lady Tolton’s hair always entered first and you were efficient- out the window and halfway out of Essex when the two other maids entered, meeting the corpse of their employer.
You squeezed out the washcloth after dipping it in the basin, methodically running it over your body and re-dipping it into the water when it began to lose its heat. The steam from the hot water caused your hair to curl, although you had yet to wash it out yet. You undid the precarious bun Mey-Rin twisted it in that morning, letting it fall on your shoulders in brushed out waves. The least enjoyable part of bathing was submerging, or nearly submerging your head and face. It was left at the very end of your bath for that reason.
The smooth surface of the soap was a sensation that you always focused on while bathing. You found that it kept most intrusive thoughts at bay while you lathered your skin that was long marred by unsoftened water, combat, and self-sufficiency.
With a sigh, you rubbed the bar of soap over each clavicle and back to the middle of your chest- your sternum. The lather left lines of white on your skin, the gentle scent combining well with the lavender oil in the water. Everything from your privacy, the warmth of the water, the dim lamps should have been enough to completely wash the tension out of both your body and your mind, but it made your looming stress even more intense. It was different from the stress that came from sitting through a play at the Globe Theater and proceeding to enter a dark carriage as the late Felix Keating had. Instead, this stress manifested itself as something that was going to happen because of the serenity of the scene you were in. This was everything that could happen, simply because there was a moment of peace.
Quickly, you finished washing and you poured the remaining water from the basin into the tub, dipping your hair by sitting back and keeping your face out of the water. You carded your fingers through your hair and sat up, squeezing all of the water out and standing, since the water level had raised considerably and frankly, flashbacks took too much emotional- and seldom physical- strain. If you could help to avoid the circumstances that led to them, you did everything in your power to. Unfortunately, bathing was, for the most part, unavoidable.
Water ran down your body as you stepped out of the tub, the cold hair causing a fresh wave of goosebumps to multiply across your skin. You wrapped the towel around yourself, trying to catch each water droplet that ran down your thighs and to your legs before it could reach the tile flooring. You then squeezed out your hair with the towel, letting the soft fabric absorb all of the water before dropping it to the floor carelessly. Mey-Rin would take care of it after bathing Lady Midford, delivering your tea, and finishing off the rest of your night routine.
Your robe was warm from the steamy air, which allowed you some comfort before opening the door of the lavatory where Mey-Rin was waiting, her smile toothy. Her eyes were hidden under the glare of her obnoxiously round glasses. Water stained her white apron, likely from having to wait on the blonde noble more than she had a princess. The irony of it was amusing to you, but in Lady Midford’s exhaustion, she would have fallen asleep in her own tub, which would have resulted in the Earl having to wed a prune. “Oh, you’re out so soon!” Mey-Rin commented, fumbling over her words in her haste to stand at attention.
“The brush?” You requested, extending your hand to her as you sat in front of the vanity mirror, the padded stool supporting your bottom.
“Right ‘ere!” she chirped, her tone too excitable for the late hour. Too happy for the solemn moon that hung in the sky. You could see it out the large windows beside your bed. Mey-Rin handed you your brush by the handle and you preferred to only let her touch your hair in the morning when it needed to be braided and twisted about. You watched yourself move in the mirror, your reflection showing your face and copying your every move, but you couldn’t help but feel detached from it. Disconnected from the flawless skin on your face; grime free and blemish-free, the lack of prominence in your collarbones from the food you had Mey-Rin bring you after cutting every major meal short. The female that stared back at you wasn’t the woman the conman had raised- but a product of status and society.
She was Princess Marie-Louise, not you- Y/n Y/l/n.
“Something wrong, Your Highness?” Mey-Rin asked, pulling you out of your thoughts. You hadn’t realized that you stopped brushing your hair and instead, regarded your own reflection.
“No,” you lied, handing the brush back to her so she could tuck it away in one of the dresser drawers. You dipped a cotton ball into the elderflower water that sat in a small bowl before you, which was prepared nightly by the maid. It ran down your face when it was supposed to only go under your eyes on behalf of Andrea’s instruction.
“Well you had quite a long day, yes you did,” Mey-Rin said, unfolding a light yellow nightgown from a drawer and holding it open for you to look. Long day. Please. “How about this one?” she asked, showing you the long ruffled sleeves of it, the satin rippling from her movement. The shade of yellow reminded you of the primrose petals that bloomed in Alfriston.
“Sure,” you stood once again, abandoning the cotton ball on the surface of the vanity. You exchanged your robe for the nightgown in Mey-Rin’s hands, allowing her to sink to her knees and pull the silk that rode upwards. “I suppose you’re right. Salome was a taxing piece,” you added as a truthful afterthought. Salome’s main topic was sexuality and the toxicity of addiction, a sin that you held close to your heart- behind each emotional barrier you erected around the proverbially vulnerable organ.
“Why, yes, Lady Elizabeth recounted all of it for me,” Mey-Rin agreed, efficiently undressing the bed by taking off each decorative pillow and pulling down the bulky quilt for you. Without hesitation, you took your place on the right side of the bed, sitting forward as she put another pillow behind you. “She told me all about the maiden...the gentlemen who loved her. And that ending! Nothing short of a tragedy- I’d have bawled if I was with you lot.” The side-table with your nightly cup Earl Grey tea sat waiting.
“Right,” you answered halfheartedly, like any investment you had in the conversation from moments ago swiftly disassembled to nothing. The citrus notes of your favorite tea were rejuvenating as per usual, which always helped you to put off sleep. Sleep was the most vulnerable point of everyone’s existence, a death-like state and you couldn’t count the number of lives you’ve taken by using this fact. There wasn’t a dagger under your pillow for the angst of it.
Mey-Rin hummed, “if you don’t mind, I will just finish up ‘round ‘ere and be out of your way!” she chirped, nearly tripping over the stool that you failed to push back under your vanity as she started towards the bathroom to clean up after you.
“Alright, thank you, Mey-Rin,” using someone’s name amid a conversation was a sign of attention, making them more prone to like you. The conman always reminded you to use names as often as you naturally could, since it further expressed respect and divided the subject’s attention. Convincing someone that they were more important than they truly were put them off guard and you were open to taking any advantage you could in this environment.
“M-My pleasure!” Mey-Rin exclaimed, scurrying into the bathroom after looking at you. The use of her name always caused her to startle, as if a sudden lightning bolt struck.
Your restless night had begun the moment Mey-Rin left your quarters. As you instructed her, she left every lamp and drape open, which kept the room properly alight, sufficiently keeping the darkness of night at bay. You were left nursing the Earl Grey tea she brought, the remaining contents of the teapot lukewarm as you poured the rest of it into the teacup.
On your lap, the book was open to the Emperor’s New Clothes chapter of the book. You skimmed halfheartedly over the tale, only for the dullness of the task to distract you from your reality and allow you to drift off into a light, dreamless sleep. You hadn’t known the phrase ‘sweet dreams’ since the conman died and you vouched for a violent change in career.
After finishing off the remaining mouthful of tea, you sat back, leaning against the two downy pillows that were upright against the bed’s headboard. The covers of the bed were pulled over your chest and folded at the top, shielding you from the draft from the window. Your own warmth was trapped under the sheets and the sensation along with a sated appetite and fatigued mindset, you succumbed to reluctant slumber.

????
Bethlem Royal Hospital; established in 1247- admitting and torturing the mentally unstable since 1407. It was financed and run by the same family for centuries after Bishop Goffredo de Prefetti. Now it ran under a descendant of his great-great-great-great-great-great grandson, Alessandro de Prefetti, who was particular in ignoring the terms of the 1853 Lunatic Asylums Act as it exemplified the rights of the mentally ill. Under his control, the Bethlem Royal Hospital was a prison for the poor and incurable- a way to dump them off-radar.
The system, at its Greek origin, worked purposely against women which inevitably led to a woman asking you to get her sister back after her husband had dumped her into admission for ‘imaginary female trouble’. Already, you received a hefty sum for organizing a lethal accident involving her sister’s husband, and next, you were off to finish Alessandro de Prefetti and as you promised, clear the falsely imprisoned.
It was raining, the sky a deep grey as the clouds wept. The wind whistled in your ears, blowing the loose strands of hair in your face as you climbed the side of the brick building, the tips of your boots fitting between the worn gaps of the cement. After studying the layout of the entire facility, you knew that entering through the window of the man’s study was your best option, as senteries and doctors roamed through the corridors unpredictably.
You shivered from both the exertion and the freezing wind and when you finally reached the window, your fingers were raw from climbing and you weren't sure you could properly feel them. As you predicted, the window was locked, which made it all the more gratifying to pull your screwdriver out of the soaking wet pocket bag between your petticoats. Your trembling fingers quickly wrapped around the handle as you balanced precariously on the side of the wall, your knees bent. The glass window cracked under the blunt tip of the screwdriver as you drove it into the glass repeatedly, as a miner would drive his pickaxe into the ore of a gem. The crack grew with each hit, splintering off before the entire pane shattered, some of the glass shards falling and hitting you. One particular piece fell into you, slicing a thin cut into your cheek, causing you to spit out a curse as you pulled yourself through the busted window, “Huhrensohn!” (Son of a whore!). You could hear the fabric of your gown tearing as it was caught on the few parts of glass that were still intact.
“Who’re you?” A gruff voice asked, giving you no time to catch your bearings. A man stood before you, years older and dressed finely. He was pointing a gun at you, which made sense, considering you had just pried open the window of Alessandro de Prefetti’s study. However, you weren’t about to risk a bullet in your head, driving you to act swiftly.
“Hmm,” You hummed, dropping your screwdriver back into your pocket bag as you slowly inched closer to the man holding the gun. The lamps illuminated his face, casting shadows over the features that likened him to the praising photographs in the paper. “Are you Alessandro de Prefetti?” you inquired, purposely emphasizing the questioning lilt in your voice. The muzzle of the gun was within range, a few inches from your forehead.
“I asked you a question, girl,” his eyes were fixated on the hilt of the dagger that stuck out of your pocket until both of your hands worked in tandem to disarm him. You turned away, hooking your right arm over the antecubital space of his right arm. Instinctively, he jolted forward, pushing the gun closer which allowed you to turn your body back in towards his, pinning his forearm against your chest with your right arm, your palm flat over your heart. Without hesitation, your left hand forced the gun out of his imprisoned hand, and for good measure, you pushed his face away with the palm of your right hand.
The conman had shown you multiple ways to trap a gun.
Prefetti stumbled back with a yell, bending over and cradling the red side of his face. The metal gun felt cold in your hands and while you considered chucking the firearm out the window and hacking the businessman to bits with your dagger, this mission called more efficiency- especially if you were to liberate as many as possible. You pulled the trigger of the handgun, staggering back from the force of the gun and immediately, the man before you crumpled to the ground, the bullet finding sanctuary in the midline of his stomach area...before he laughed.
“Enchanting,” Prefetti climbed to his feet, his eyes never leaving your figure. His thumb and index finger entered the entry wound, digging around until he found the bullet and dropped it to the floor. Your next panicked shot missed, flying past his head and running into the door behind him.
“H-How?” you stuttered, shooting again as Alessandro smiled at you, a sadistic glint lighting up his onyx hues. This bullet landed in his shoulder while he walked towards you, continuing to advance after picking out the bullet in the same manner.
“Come on, darling. We can help you,” he purred, “it’s unladylike to shoot at your savior.” Blood poured out of both his wounds, but he appeared completely unfazed as it ran down his clothing, staining the carpet under his boots. “We’ll take care of you.”
. . .
You were bound to a wooden chair, rope binding both of your arms and legs. The fibers of it poked at your skin, leaving red imprints from the tightly pulled loops. You were shivering once again, your head down as another bucket of ice-cold water was poured on you. Completely exposed, your entire body was peppered with goosebumps, your fingers fidgeting, your palms facing in front of you. There was a pounding in your head and you couldn’t keep your eyes open.
Another bucket of water was poured over you, each breath you took was laborious and shallow and your whole body tensed.
“I reckon that’ll teach her to not shoot at Master Prefetti,” a familiar voice chuckled, causing you to reluctantly open your eyes. Your vision was obstructed by wet hair that fell in your face, but vaguely you could see the outline of another man, paired with another set of laughter behind you. “That’s right, princess. I hope you didn’t intend to kill us with that shootin’ back there.” His hand pushed your hair out of your face before giving the strands a forceful tug. The pain caused you to yelp and immediately, another bucket of freezing water was violently spilled, causing you to choke on it. “Ha, good one there, James.”
Pete.
“Tell me, how is this one still beautiful after we’ve played with her?” James asked, a bucket in one hand as the other forced you to look at him, the back of your head hitting the top of the wooden chair. “Still so breathtakin’, ain’t she?”
“Quite,” Pete chuckled, accepting the bucket from James to pour right in your face. You squeezed your eyes closed before the water could sting.
“Did our little princess not enjoy that?” Pete cooed, the false sympathy in his voice palpable. “Brat needs her medicine to properly calm down,” he left the room after calling over his shoulder, “I’ll tell Prefetti!” The door was slammed behind him, the sudden noise causing you to flinch.
“Hear that? We’re going to calm you right down,” You were met with James’ smile once you opened your eyes again, blinking as much as you could to keep water out. “And while you’re out, we’ll relax ya even more,” he kneeled at your level, his cold eyes prying, his large hands on your thighs. His fingertips tickled your skin, which was frankly, a more comfortable substitute for biting ice water. “That sound good?”
“Don’t think you’re useless to us when you’re off in that dreamland of yours,” he added as Pete returned, immediately going to your side. Amusement danced in James’ eyes, but he wasn’t looking at you. He was meeting Pete’s gaze and in the same moment, there was a dull sting in your arm. The smell of rubbing alcohol vaguely permeated the air.
Your vision went dark as the hands on your thighs languidly traveled up your torso.
. . .
JANUARY 24TH, 1892
LONDON, ENGLAND
You couldn’t breathe.
The opulent bedroom around you seemed to be a mirage, as your hands pulled at the covers over you. Sweat gathered in your hairline, falling down your forehead and to the bridge of your nose. You sat upright, your heart beating uncontrollably as you panted.
Alessandro de Prefetti had died about two years ago, 1890. The spring rain had made scaling the side of the building challenging and there was a faint scar across your cheekbone from the broken glass of the window. Every element of that dream was accurate until you shot him. His handgun was instead, thrown out the broken window and you had wrestled the skinny man to the floor, pulling the blade of your dagger across his throat to sever his carotid artery. Everything else that you could vaguely recall from that nightmare- the cold water therapy, the rise of the first two men you had ever killed, never happened.
After killing Prefetti, you found the woman that you were set to free in the first place and she was treated that way. She was chained to her chair and the men that poured the freezing water over her head were torturing her for bearing an illegitimate child out of rape. Her husband had dumped her into the institution on the assumption that it was her fault. You should have killed him afterward since he took no time to replace her with another doe-eyed lady. Her belly was swollen with presumably, his child.
You pushed the covers off of your body, the heat that they provided was no longer any kind of comfort to you. A quick shake of the cold teapot told you that you finished the last of your evening fix of tea when you needed more or at least a glass of warm milk. The bell that sat on the wall beside your door was tempting, as it would wake the maid and bring her to your room, but you didn’t have the heart to wreck her night of sleep simply because your mind conjured horrid dream sequences.
The wooden planks felt cold under your bare feet as you sulked to the door of your room, opening it and immediately meeting the dark abyss of the corridor. Before crossing the threshold, you grabbed a lantern to take with you as it illuminated bits of the walls, floor, and ceiling around you. The light chased away the foreboding darkness with each reluctant step you took.
Frankly, you had no clue as to where the kitchen was located- if it was near the dining hall, by the servant quarters, or even at a completely different wing. Your only interest was a certain beverage to calm your racing heart, to still your trembling hands. The lump in your throat was hard to swallow down as pitiful tears threatened to fall.
Every door that you passed was closed and there was no sign of light anywhere, except the bit that the lantern emitted. The ruffled sleeve of your nightgown had to be stained with how frequently you wiped your forehead clear of anxiety-fueled perspiration. All you needed was a glass of warm milk and you’d go back to your bedroom, on the assumption you could find it after somehow reaching the kitchen.
The opening door to your side caused you to jump and the yelp that passed your lips was narrowly stifled, causing it to be a diminutive squeak. Your tense back was against the wall, the lantern in your hand brandished as if it was an effective weapon. In a way, you supposed it could be. The iron was heavy enough to cause some amount of damage if your hands hadn’t been shaking as much as they were.
“...Your Highness? Is that you?” Lord Phantomhive’s hoarse voice was octaves lower from sleep. The light of the fire dancing in your lantern showed his face, his black hair disheveled. Notably, there was no black eyepatch over his right eye and instead, his eye was only closed, his long eyelashes kissing the tops of his cheeks. “Did you need something?” His hand fell to his side, his fingers wrapped around the grip of a gun. The sight of it caused the lump in your throat to return with vengeance and while crying in front of your target was lamentable of you, the dam that kept your emotions at bay was only so sturdy.
“I-...” You started, staring at the equal confusion and surprise on his face as tears welled in your eyes, falling down your cheeks as you sniffled. Crying in front of others was an ultimate sign of vulnerability and the conman had you do it on command to play with the heartstrings of your victims when needed while this was different. This was the type of weeping that you couldn’t force down and as a result, you were gasping like a fish out of water before the Earl’s perplexed gaze. Your throat seized with words you couldn’t dare admit. “I-... need warm milk,” your damp sleeve did a poor job of absorbing your tears.
“We can send for Sebastian. Wait just a moment,” he quickly returned to his room, having exchanged his weapon for a white handkerchief, and his eyepatch fastened back around his head. “Silk is never good for anything more than a first-glance appeal,” he commented, handing the cotton to you. He was right; the material was much more absorbent than your sleeve.
Upon rubbing your nose with the handkerchief, the prominent scent vaguely reminded you of the Earl’s- bay leaf with a touch of lavender and ivory soap.
“Wait with me in my room,” you ordered as a ploy to cover your own passing fear of being alone. Walking back down the winding hall in the darkness was a poor idea and even if your temporary companion was the condescending Lord Phantomhive, he was better than no one. Having to actively speak to someone helped you remain present- far away from the pain that you associated with darkness.
“Certainly, Your Highness,” he said, walking with you, but a few short paces behind. You could hear each step he made, otherwise, the impenetrable silence that loitered between the two of you returned. It was a void that neither of you bothered to fill unless there was a need to. But as he escorted you back to your quarters, two hours after midnight, there was no need. He knew his place, and it was far from inquiring as to what had agitated you enough to send you out of bed, wailing silently. Although, the unfazed expression on his face; a neutral frown and unfurrowed brow, you suspected he knew. If Lord Phantomhive killed as much as Doña had claimed, then surely, the theater of his subconscious treated him just as poorly as yours did.
“Did I wake you?” You asked, nodding once to validate his attempt at chivalrously opening the door for you. It was already ajar, and you had been able to see the light pouring from it into the hall from ages away, but he didn’t dare leave you then. The cotton handkerchief was rolled into a crumpled ball in your fist, damp with your tears. Your tears had finally ceased as you grappled for control over your own train of thought.
“No,” Lord Phantomhive responded and you couldn’t tell if he was lying or not. His poker face rivaled yours as it was impassive as a brick wall unless you were deliberately poking fun at him. His grandiloquence needed to be rivaled and by passively vexing him, you took pleasure in offering a semblance of modesty to his countenance. “Unfortunately, the thresholds of sleep aren’t so welcoming to me either.”
“I reckon you could use a glass of warm milk as well.”
You could have killed him right there in your room. There were at least seven completely lethal places on the human body to stab with a blade; the spinal cord, the carotid artery, the axillary artery, heart and lungs, the liver, the femoral artery, and the popliteal artery. Your dagger was tucked right under the pillow you slept on and Lord Phantomhive was merely standing at the side of your bed while you sat down on the edge of it. He was off his guard, making it easy for you to pounce, stab, and make your escape through the window.
However, the mere thought of holding a weapon and covering this nightgown in more bodily fluids was mildly distressing. You knew yourself well enough to be sure that stabbing the Earl would only cause you to freeze up and stare at his corpse, rather than act swiftly and leave. Besides, your eyes were heavy and it felt as if loads of bricks were piled onto your shoulders. Killing him could wait until you returned to top form. Giving Doña such a short time frame was foolish of you, and there was no doubt that she would gloat when you returned after a few days more than a week. There were too many unprecedented factors; such as the able butler and lack of opportunity. The most time you spent with the Earl in a day couldn’t surpass more than an hour, or even less. From accompanying him and his betrothed to the theater to having to wait silently for a glass of milk together, this was the most time you spent with him since your arrival.
“It would be my second of the evening,” he responded, hesitating long enough for you to look at him, rather than the wall across from you. This was the first time you noticed that he was only clad in a long nightshirt, the neckline a deep v-shape with ruffles that matched those on your sleeves. The shirt hugged his thin shoulders, the rest of the garment completely loose around his frame. His arms were slender, the muscles there likely less developed than yours. Against you, any fight he attempted to put up would be pathetic.
The conman made sure of it, although he’d never be happy with this life you picked for yourself. After all, the violence he armed you with was supposed to be ‘last resort’. He would have wanted you to attempt to take his lessons and make yourself into someone legitimate. Naturally, the irony was that he was the most honest man you knew.
“To unwind, milk surely surpasses a two-row malt,” you said under your breath, which the Earl either ignored or didn’t hear. Clearing your throat, you spoke louder to articulate more of an appropriate response, “as many as it takes, Lord Phantomhive.” Alcohol wasn’t proper to discuss for a woman, much less a princess.
“Es ist ziemlich früh zum Aufstehen, Eure Hoheit,” (It’s quite early to rise, Your Highness). When Sebastian entered, he showed no sign of fatigue, unlike yourself or even his master. Out of the three of you, he was the only one clad in more than oversized nightwear. The butler tended to wear some form of a black ensemble, matching with the raven hair that fell in his eyes and cascaded down his neck. Within your time at the estate, you had never seen his bare hands, since they were always covered with pristine white gloves. Sebastian couldn’t have been much older than the Earl, his face was clear of any hints of aging.
“Ich würde den nächtlichen Terror nicht als 'früh aufstehen' bezeichnen,” (I would not call night terror ‘rising early’) your eyebrows knit at the cheeky statement as you took on of the two glasses of milk off of his serving tray. “Mein Bedarf an Ihrer Unterstützung sollte nicht zur Diskussion stehen,” (My need for your assistance should not be up for discussion), you continued, quite sternly. If you hadn’t noticed the Earl’s blank expression, then you would have forgotten that he couldn’t understand German as you scolded his butler. When he was agitated, Lord Phantomhive’s ability to filter his facial expressions was significantly reduced, which resulted in what you christened, the look.
Sebastian chuckled as if he was more amused by your sentiment than taken aback. He closed his eyes, briefly lowering his head as he stood before you. “Sie haben Recht. Ich bitte aufrichtig um Entschuldigung; wenn Sie noch etwas benötigen, zögern Sie bitte nicht, danach zu fragen,” (You're right. My sincerest apologies; if you need anything more, please do ask) he said, practically cooing with the smooth intonations of his voice. That patronizing articulation reminded you of the three men in your nightmare and the sickening reminder caused your blood to boil.
“Wenn ich sehe, dass Sie Ihren Zweck erfüllt haben, würde ich sagen, dass Sie sich rar machen dürfen,” (Seeing that you've served your purpose, I would say you're cleared to make yourself scarce). You took a sip of your milk, the warmth of it providing a new sensation to anchor your presence onto. The glass between your palms was also warm to touch.
“Natürlich. Gute Nacht, Eure Hoheit,” (Of course. Goodnight, Your Highness), Sebastian responded, tucking the serving tray under his arm. “A goodnight to you as well, my Lord. I presume you can show yourself to your bedroom when Her Highness requires privacy once again.”
The Earl was slow to respond, likely having allowed his mind to drift some with the foreign conversation that excluded him. “Evidently,” each syllable of the word was pronounced with malice from the haughtiness in Sebastian’s condescending countenance and the conversation that was completely lost to him. Once Sebastian closed the door behind him, he turned to you, his upper lip saturated in milk before he pursed his lips to get it off. “Of all the skills he’s mastered, Sebastian still hasn’t learned the art of holding his tongue. My apologies.”
“He answered for himself,” you stood with your glass in hand, and looking back at your disheveled bed, you had half the mind to ask the Earl to stay until you fell asleep. The conman would do that for you when your nightmares were far tamer; consisting of missing an important event, or simply falling from an unknown height. However, scratching a subconscious itch wasn’t worth shredding the carefully crafted exterior you had put on for this charade any more than you already had that night. “You should retire now. It’s late.”
“So long as you attempt to as well,” Lord Phantomhive said, giving you a long look, devoid of pity. Instead, there was a tentative awareness, an insight that was dangerously convincing. “Sleep well,” his parting timbre seemed octaves lower, causing you to pause and look at him.
“Sleep well,” you reiterated, quickly putting your glass on the side table with your empty teacup, sliding back under your warm covers. He shut the door, twisting the knob slow enough to leave a soft click, rather than the louder bang that sounded when the door was shut normally.
The next bout of uncertain sleep you fell into was light and fortunately, dreamless.
. . .
JANUARY 24TH, 1892
LONDON, ENGLAND
“It was an honor to meet you, Your Highness!” Lady Midforf dawned a new dress for the fresh day. It was another baby pink shade that strategically brought out her big emerald optics. You had left breakfast early that morning, but as kindness towards her, provided her and the Earl your permission to continue to dine. You had retreated to your room with the hope of catching some final moments of rest, despite being completely dressed in a deep blue gown, your hair pulled into another intricate bun.
At your request, Mey-Rin brought a tray of Earl Gray tea and two little squares of butterkuchen, or butter cake, paired with assorted berries. You were in the process of nursing your tea and slowly picking at each cut of cake with your dainty dessert fork. They were easiest to maneuver in your small hands.
The moment the door opened, you stood and quickly brushed crumbs off of your lap with your hands. In order to eat your breakfast, you were sitting at the desk in front of the large window. Merely watching snow fall lazily was enough entertainment for you, since it gave your mind the proper space to wander.
“The same to you, Lady Midford,” you said. Her title came out awkwardly as you tensed in surprise when the tall blonde caught you in a tight embrace. She was a handsy girl, judging by the way she clung to her betrothed, but you had assumed that being royalty, she’d grant you mercy. However, her (surprisingly strong) arms squeezed your middle with the same insistence that your corset had that morning. You couldn’t imagine having to endure uncomfortable contact multiple times.
Reluctantly, you patted Lady Midford’s back twice, which she took as a gesture for her to release you. She didn’t know her own strength and you couldn’t help but wonder where it came from exactly. “I very much hope to see you again,” Lady Midford continued, her smile beaming at you. It reached her eyes and you had no doubt that it was genuine; your only question is- how is one so happy?
Although you sincerely doubted the likelihood of you crossing paths with the noble, you pretended to have a desire to. After all, if you did see her again, it would mean that Lord Phantomhive was still alive and you were still shouldering this heavy charade. You hoped to be out of the estate days ago and at this incredibly slow rate of progression, you were sure that you’d be stuck there for at least a few more days.
“Safe travels,” you said, watching as she stepped back towards the open door. She proceeded to retreat, until she stopped at the door, her face suddenly quite serious.
“Your Highness,” she said, her voice lower. “Ciel is very dedicated to Her Majesty. As long as you’re here, he won’t let a single thing happen to you,” she continued, her stare prying into your soul, it seemed. “He’s...a bit distant, but you can trust him if my word means anything to you.”
Your face softened and for a passing moment, you felt sad for the girl. You were going to kill her betrothed- her cousin that she seemed to care dearly for. She was merely collateral damage- considering Lord Phantomhive was responsible for the deaths of many innocents.
Your hand rested on the top of the chair that you were previously sitting in. “Thank you, Lady Midford. That is very reassuring to hear,” you lied, moving your hand over heart for a shallow curtsey. “My grandmother has done nothing but sung his praises. I trust him with my life,” you continued, properly standing to your feet. Lady Midford’s eyes were glassy as if she was about to cry from the sentiment. Hopefully, she’d get on with leaving before you had to deal with that.
Lady Midford nodded, her high pigtails moving as she returned the curtsy. Hers was deeper and much slower than yours had been. “The pleasure is completely mine. I must go now- before Paula comes up to fetch me herself,” Lady Midford made an effort to joke, her laugh was a little wanner than it normally was. She sniffled and quickly left your room, leaving the door open after.
. . .
“Your Highness...might I ask why are you are so invested in these...children’s tales?” Lord Phantomhive’s voice sounded behind you, causing you to nearly lose your footing and fall off the short stool that you were using to look for more Brothers Grimm pieces. The sound you made wasn’t as strong as you would have preferred it to be, your hands quickly flying to the shelf for stability. If you had been holding a book, it would have certainly fallen to the floor. “My apologies. It wasn’t my intention to startle you.”
Normally, you would have heard his footsteps, the sound of the door opening and closing, but you were too invested in finding the story that Hanna used to tell you from memory. Hanna was a maid that worked in the Glücksburg Castle for your family. She took you in the kitchen from time to time and you’d help her bake as well as a little girl could; until Governess Lydia fired her for teaching a princess a skill of a middle-class woman. Hanna had every tale from the Brothers Grimm memorized and she’d recite each story to you, particularly one that featured a mother, a murder, and a bird. You couldn’t remember the title for the life of you, but out of a lack of agenda (besides plotting an impending murder), you set out to locate it within the expansive collection of books.
You took a large inhale, closing your eyes for a moment. From having them open for an extended period of searching, you had forgotten to blink. You released the air in your lungs after it grew stale and stepped down from the short stool to properly face the Earl. The height difference between the two of you wasn’t severe with your heels, but it was enough to force you to look up at him.
It took you a moment to realize that the bulk of his words were completely lost on you. “I beg your pardon?” you asked, dutifully ignoring his reliable deadpan.
“You’re going to read...yet again,” Lord Phantomhive pointed out rather astutely. You were positive that his statement was much longer than that simple comment, but you didn’t push the matter.
“Unfortunately, the options in the estate are rather limited for me,” you responded truthfully. You meant this by way of interesting things to do as well as the opportunity to complete your assignment. Sebastian was always hovering around the Earl and in the rooms where he is alone, there are no clear routes to leave through. You weren’t in possession of any thallium which was last resort in the first place. “I can do almost anything at home, but here,” you mused, playing into your role, “...here, I’m essentially under a house arrest. It’s quite boring.”
Lord Phantomhive’s eyebrows furrowed as he watched you. The action always caused the bit of skin between them to wrinkle and paired with his parted lips, he resembled a gaping fish. This was the look of exasperation and disbelief you met multiple times per day- enough for you to start calling it the look.
“I’m looking for a particular story by the Brothers Grimm. Are you familiar with their work?”
“I was-” you cut off his budding sarcasm with a glare of your own.
“A stepmother kills her stepson and bakes him into a pudding,” you explained as you turned back to the shelf to skim over the titles on the spines of the books.
“The Juniper Tree,” the Earl named almost instantaneously. At your questioning stare he cleared his throat, “my late aunt would read that one to myself and Lizzie all the time...there’s no copy here.”
You frowned and turned to look at Lord Phantomhive again. How could he be so sure? There had to be a few hundred books in the library to keep track of altogether...how could he be sure of one particular tale? The tautness in his shoulders told you not to pry. “Very well. Did you need to speak to me?” you asked since the Earl only approached you outside of meals when he needed to inform you of something particular.
“Yes. I have a dinner meeting with the head of a trans-Atlantic shipping company this evening. For your safety, I’d like to request you remain on this level of the building while it proceeds,” Lord Phantomhive’s poker face was quite nonchalant as he more or less ordered you to keep hidden from the other businessman. You understood that given his own instructions from the Queen, he had a certain degree of authority over where you went, or who you saw. Besides, you could use the time on the second floor to your advantage.
“And what of my dinner?” You were quite open to the prospect of eating alone because it meant that you could eat more than a few measly forkfuls.
“My staff is fully prepared to serve you in the foyer- or wherever you’d like on this level,” the Earl said, shifting his weight to his other side in preparation to leave you alone once again. “If there’s anything you need-”
“I won’t hesitate to ask,” you finished, finding the spiel more patronizing by each second it carried on. “Thank you,” you added as a half-hearted afterthought, pairing it with a strained turn of your lips.
A few seconds of silence followed as Lord Phantomhive composed himself. Irritation flashed in his exposed eye and his hand clenched at his side since he wasn’t carrying anything with him. The subtle movement caught your gaze and when he noticed that you were looking, the same hand opened. The blue gem on one of his rings shined in the light, just as yours did. Was it a family ring as well? The band was silver instead of rose gold, but there was no doubt it had a hefty fortune behind it.
“Of course, Your Highness.”
. . .
While Lord Phantomhive focused on his meeting, you took the opportunity to get into his study. A nagging voice in the back of your mind demanded concrete evidence that the boy was truly a criminal, considering you failed to pry into Doña’s motivations. She was a shrewd woman and went as far as to unapologetically provide you with an alias. Doña translated to lady or madame, a tidbit that you learned through finding a Spanish to English dictionary tucked in a shelf of the Phantomhive library. You didn’t actually know her name, and for all you knew, her deceased family resided within a crime ring that your grandmother could have asked her guard dog to eradicate. Although the likelihood of finding evidence, either way, was slim, there was cause to try.
Your hand twisted the knob of the door, but before you could apply any pressure, Sebastian intervened. He stood behind you after his stealthy approach, silent, almost waiting for you to speak first. Sebastian’s steps were too quiet- the conman taught you how to make yours as indiscriminate as possible, but the old wooden floor always whined beneath your heels. You let go of the knob after trying to give it a twist. However, it didn’t budge.
“Kann ich Ihnen helfen, Sebastian?” (May I help you, Sebastian?) You turned around to face him properly, his face predictably smug, no matter how he tried to maintain his respectful smile. Although his poker face was far superior to his master’s, no facade was perfect; not even yours. Marie was much more genteel than you; following the customary guidelines to pretend to be nice, or pretend to enjoy having her whole middle shoved into a restricting torso. She shoved her feelings so far off, you doubted she had the complexity to frown- or think- by the second time you ran away. In that way, you were failing to personify her- the perfect princess she was.
Sebastian ignored the question, “Mein Meister ist derzeit in einer geschäftlichen Besprechung. Wenn Sie ihn gesucht haben, erlauben Sie mir bitte, eine Nachricht entgegenzunehmen,” (My master is currently in a business meeting. If you were looking for him, please allow me to take a message) you figured it would be best to pretend as if your conversation with Lord Phantomhive had simply slipped your mind (or didn’t take place at all), since Sebastian was notably absent.
“Ach ja, richtig. Dann werde ich mein Abendessen jetzt im Foyer einnehmen, vielen Dank,” (Oh, right. Then I will take my supper in the foyer, now, thank you). You hastily left Sebastian standing alone in the hall to show yourself to the exact foyer in the west wing of the estate. The fireplace reminded you of the exact brick pattern that the fireplace in your own home had, which was a vague comfort to you. Furthermore, eating alone was a relief because it allowed you to fully let down your usual restrictions and eat until you were completely satiated- to take bite after bite until your corset felt even tighter than it had that morning. Your empty stomach rumbled at the thought.
. . .
Finny brought firewood inside the foyer and started a warm blaze in the fireplace at your off-hand request. Once again, his strength took you aback when he effortlessly hauled in multiple thick logs, the dirt on them staining his yellow shirt.
Since Sebastian was too occupied in serving the Earl and his other guest, the other servants on the estate were left to tend to you. The table that you were sitting at was pulled in from the library, the white cloth that ran over it was pristine and pressed to size. Your utensils shined, likely polished recently. The atmosphere was much more comfortable, as opposed to the cold silence that you and Lord Phantomhive tended to sit in. Moreover, the other servants- Mey-Rin, Finny, and Baldroy were simply less...presumptuous and sly.
You particularly appreciated Baldroy- not for his work or lack thereof, but his scattered presence. The vague scent of cigars that followed him reminded you of the conman, just as his laid-back drawl and leadership tendency did. There was hardly any commonality between the respective appearances of the two men, but the way Baldory carried himself oddly...helped you to remember the conman’s voice. His phlegmy laugh and snide grin.
“We’d be doin’ a fine disservice to you in tryna pronounce the names of these dishes,” Baldroy said, emerging through the open doors of the foyer with several small plates of distinctively different German plates. They were small enough to be considered canapés, but the summation of five plates made up for their portion. You assumed it was a bid on Sebastian’s part to waste less food in attempting to please you.
At Baldory’s side was Mey-Rin as she held a small basket of bread rolls, with one little glass bowl tucked within them. It was one type of jam- likely the quince that you had been favoring over your last few meals. Even as a girl, it was one of your favorites, being almost exclusive to Germany.
Your smile turned one corner of your lips upwards- barely there, but completely genuine. “That’s fine. I do find Sebastian’s introductions quite tedious to sit through,” your shoulders jumped when you laughed shortly, unable to help your reaction to their surprised faces. Baldroy wasn’t accustomed to your dry humor and Mey-Rin’s shortcomings were rarely validated with a semblance of amusement.
“Oh- well, alright, then-” Baldroy started, placing the tray that carried all the dishes before you. It was clear that he wasn’t experienced with table service, (Mey-Rin none the wiser), but in a way, you found the informality strangely comforting.
“-This is spätzel,” you interrupted, gesturing to the first plate with egg noodles nearly twirled. It was usually quite heavy for your preference since the noodles could sometimes be considered ‘dumplings’. “Käse, cheese,” you couldn’t name the exact type of cheese that was cut on the next plate. Each slice was paired with a different cracked and knowing Sebastian, you felt safe in assuming that this was on purpose. “Katenspek...teewurst” you continued, mostly naming the food in front of you for your own memory’s sake. After spending the most recent nine years of your life in various cities in England, you were more accustomed to bangers and mash and heavy cottage pies.
Quickly looking up at the two servants, you cleared your throat. “Is this all?” you asked impassively. It seemed to be more than enough already.
“Yes!” Mey-Rin responded, “this is all. I’ll be right back with your tea, ‘scuse me,” she rushed out. Her basket of bread was still in her hands and with her short attention span, there was no way she’d realize it until she reached the kitchen. However, the scent of freshly warmed rolls continued to linger around your table, just as Baldroy’s scent of smoke did.
The combination reminded you of the desperate day you met the conman- after you swindled an upper-middle-class couple out of a great sum of their money. With that man’s wages...Baxter purchased a loaf of bread, under the logic of conserving what the two of you rightfully earned. He laughed in that alleyway, praising your acting skills until his face was shades darker than the cold air made it. No one in Germany praised you- not once and within a single week of relocating across the sea, you had garnered someone’s appreciation. As a girl, nothing (besides a full stomach) was quite as satisfying. That was when he offered to take you in, and evidently, the rest was history.
You hadn’t noticed Baldroy leave, but after looking up from the plates of food before you, space across from you was empty. Once again, you were left alone, the only prominent noise in the foyer was the soft crackling of the fireplace and the chime of your fork and knife against the bowl that the spätzel was piled in. There was a sprinkling of parsley on top, but you brushed it out and onto the plate under the small bowl. Amongst many moving parts, the food that was involved in this particular operation was both a vice and a virtue- sitting in front of delectable meals multiple times a day, but due to social codes, only being able to eat a few bites while with company. Your circumstances reminded you of the Greek myth of Tantalus, though you were much better off than the deceased king of Sipylus.
After reaching the bottom of the bowl, you moved on to demolishing the tasting of pre-cut Katenspek, which was smoked pork belly. It would have been salty for your liking, had there not been some kind of cranberry sauce pooled at the bottom of the stack of thin strips. You were about halfway through finishing them off when Baldroy returned. By the surprise in his eyes, it was safe to assume that he expected you to have returned to your quarters instead.
Baldory didn’t wait too long to speak as he raised an eyebrow at you. “Huh, I was beginning to doubt me cookin’,” he mused, sharing your bashful half-smile. You dabbed your lips with the edge of the folded napkin on your lap. The action stained the white cloth with the red cranberry sauce that loitered on your lips.
You sat back in your chair, finding the corset you wore much tighter than it felt before you sat down to properly eat. Relief bloomed in your stomach as you regarded the chef in front of you, the euphoria of finally having a full stomach causing you to smile again. “It was delightful, thank you,” the idea of someone of importance witnessing you so content sent shivers down your spine.
. . .
There was a knock at your door, the sound too strident to be Mey-Rin’s and unnecessary for it to be Sebastian’s. Mey-Rin had finished her nightly duties, this night’s routine much more simplified, since you had only just bathed last night, and rather than Sebastian, she brought up your Earl Grey tea with a hefty slice of Black Forest cake- the best dessert to grace the earth. The recipe was native to Germany, chocolate layers of cake with a cherry and cream filling. The cherries in the filling were soaked in cherry schnapps that originated in the Black Forest, a mountain range in Germany. There was still more than half of it on the plate as you pried small bites from it every couple of minutes.
“Hereinspaziert,” (Come in), you mumbled, hardly looking up from the page of the new book you picked up before retiring to sleep. This was a compilation of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Poems, each in native German, and translated on the next page over. Along with theater, poetry tended to enervate you enough to allow you to rest some for a night. This particular poem was called “Night Thoughts”. The title was ironic enough to catch your eye in the glossary at the beginning of the book.
‘Ihr, von denen der Seewurf die Matrosen angezündet hat…’ (Ye by whom the sea-toss'd sailor's lighted…)
The door opened to reveal the Earl at the threshold. He was still dressed in his posh number, his jacket, and trousers a matching forest green while his shirt was its predictable white. You pulled your covers up further, holding them up to your chest under your open book. The neckline of your nightgown was much lower than you were comfortable with exposing and keeping the bits of dignity you had was more than preferable.
“Yes?” you urged Lord Phantomhive to state his case for interrupting your reading- not that the poem made much sense to you anyhow. The male’s face was terse as if the meeting hadn’t played out the way he had wanted it to. Considering he had only shown himself in your, it was hard to believe that you coaxed out the look with a single syllable.
“You called this estate boring,” he stated nonchalantly, loitering in front of the open door. Behind him, the hallway was alight with the dim glow of lanterns, a gesture that you duly appreciated.
“I did,” you replied, matching his level of care in his articulation. Lord Phantomhive was nothing of a utilitarian in a sense of parlance. He used too many posh words most of the time and appeared to believe that studying Latin was a productive use of time. Yet, he seemed too peeved to care.
Furthermore, fun wasn’t something you were well acquainted with, but you could confidently say that sitting through a tragic play with your intended victim and his betrothed did not qualify. Vaguely, fun was supposed to be stimulating or engaging in some way. Lord Phantomhive was close to your age, but he acted several years older with a lack of interest in anything that resided off of some variant of paper.
“Let’s go horseback riding, then. I know a private trail,” he suggested. Learning how to ride a horse was about the only interesting lesson you had as a girl, although you were constantly scolded for refusing to sit side-saddle. It was considered a way to preserve a woman’s modesty. For a lady to spread her legs outside a marriage bed was a complete sacrilege and you made the most out of standing in the stirrups of your horse when you could.
You couldn’t remember the last time you held a pair of reins in your own hands since you had only learned in the instance of an emergency. In any other case, you had to sit behind a man while he directed the horse for you. Besides, the January cold had to be too much for the horses to bear for a winding trail in the countryside.
“Well?” Lord Phantomhive asked arching an eyebrow at you. If the trail was private, it made a good setting for killing him, hiding the body, and leaving with the horse. Especially if Sebastian was going to be the only accompaniment on the trip. Judging by his slender physique, you doubted that he’d be able to put up much of a fight against you if there was no way to be furtive.
“Fine,” you cut a slice out of your cake with the side of your fork, momentarily breaking eye contact with the noble as you let the hunk of chocolate cake and tart cherry marry on your tongue before meticulously chewing and swallowing. “You know, you are ambitious in your pursuits, my Lord.” You added offhandedly, considering this proposal came from a vague challenge from you.
Lord Phantomhive shrugged, the corner of his lips twitching to form his elusive smirk. “Hm,” he paused, the thought clearly facetious when it was supposed to be a simple observation from you. “We’re human beings, Your Highness. Always after our own self-interest.”
“Then it’s within your self-interest to both protect and entertain me?” The conversation was quickly evolving into a clever, existential turn of phrase, rather than an invasion of your time alone. You closed your book after putting a little piece of paper inside to save your page.
“Of course. The Phantomhive name is known for the standard of care we give our guests- particularly-”
“Particularly grandchildren of Her Majesty,” you finished smugly, although he would have used a less blunt way to state your title. The coy smirk on his regrettably prepossessing face dropped, quickly replaced by the look, once again. If the Earl couldn’t admonish you verbally, he was sure to show you his irritation with his face, whether he meant to or not. At least he was to be reasonably humbled before you ended him.
The Earl cleared his throat, “Tuesday is my only free day this week. I’ll have Sebastian make preparations for then.”
“And what am I to do in the meantime?” You questioned, playing up your impertinence to bother him further. Marie would do the exact same and more likely, she would have demanded more from the Earl. You were much more acquiescent and you merely kept to yourself, save for your attempt to get into his study to pry. Gaining access was crucial to your morality and since you intended on striking at the end of that trail, you’d need to enter before Tuesday morning.
“I trust that you are capable of entertaining yourself, for the time being, Your Highness.”
You took a long sip of your tea, the floral notes of the Earl Grey mingled nicely with the remnants of cherry on your tongue. The heat of the beverage caused you to cringe as it ran down your throat. The teacup remained in your hands as you regarded the noble, who had inched his way to the foot of your bed for ease of conversation. Naturally, he loitered at the respectful distance, keeping his gaze proper and away from the covers that fell from your chest. You didn’t have the hands to readjust them, or the peace of mind to notice.
“...Fine. Sleep well, Lord Phantomhive,” you dismissed, putting the teacup back on the nightstand with the remnants of your cake. You had a feeling that he wasn’t done with the conversation, but you weren’t shy in expressing that you were. The night was a complex time and while the presence of another in your room was somewhat soothing, it reminded you of the episode you had that morning. The bruise to your pride was somewhat fresh, making it uncomfortable to think about or dwell on. At least in that way, you understood Lord Phantomhive. His pride made for a sturdy defense around the vulnerable- terrified- subconscious as yours did. You each protected your weaknesses fiercely and that's what made this particular assignment so complicated.
“Sleep well, Your Highness. I’ll sort out the rest of the details and keep you up to date,” the sound of the door shutting behind him caused you to jump. You put your book on the nightstand, using it to push the tray of refreshments further away. This night would do well to be kinder to you.

Steel is extremely concerned, it lasts a very long time, needs little upkeep (at some point none), as well as it radiates a specialist appearance. When the Sky Ways Roofing group executes steel roofing system repair services, we eliminated the harmed location, and also tidy the repair work place meticulously. We take a matching steel "spot" of the exact same shade, reduced bigger compared to the initial place, and also secure it right into location with a block to consider it down. After that, we solder each side. Then, we utilize an additional, bigger steel spot compared to the one we simply made use of. After that we use roof concrete to layer the whole location.
Asphalt shingles - The most significant benefit of utilizing asphalt tiles is their price. Firms like the loved one inexpensive, the toughness that shingles give, and also a wide array of shades as well as designs. When you begin discovering some dripping inside the structure (or watermarks on top of a few of the wall surfaces), that suggests a prospective roof covering fixing. For business homes, it's a great idea to evaluate the roofing system yearly for any type of issues, to make sure that the repair work could be done prior to any kind of dripping start. If it's simply a crinkled or torn tile or 2, we could fix or change the roof shingles reasonably conveniently. If the roofing system reveals indicators of fractured or badly harmed tiles, or missing out on tiles, the roofing system is most likely nearing completion of its valuable life.

Training, networking, inspiration and more
Stopcocks founder, Hattie Hasan, wows delegates with her inspirational speech.
The inaugural Women Installers Together (WIT) Conference took place earlier this month, receiving a positive reception from female installers who travelled to London to attend the very first conference of its kind, designed to celebrate and inspire female installers in the industry.
Hosted by Stopcocks Women Plumbers and supported by a variety of sponsors including leading plastic piping manufacturer Polypipe, the event saw an impressive 93 delegates register to attend.
The day kicked off with a conflict management training session by Jazz Jones, training officer at Polypipe. Jazz gave guests a masterclass in recognising their own conflict management style and dealing with conflict in the workplace positively.
Next up was Katie Beesley, account manager at SLG Marketing, who offered an insight into the importance of branding for female installers to differentiate their services, forge their own personal brand, and in turn build their businesses.
The final session featured headline speaker Hattie Hasan, the founder of Stopcocks Women Plumbers, who gave an inspiring speech about her experiences in the industry and making it as a female installer in a man’s world. Hattie revealed that the best piece of advice she ever received was from a technician at the Leeds College of Building, who advised that when faced with a problem you think you can’t solve, you should take a step back and look at it as though you’ve never seen it before. It’s advice that Hattie has carried with her ever since, over the course of nearly three decades in the industry.
Hattie also offered her thoughts as to how the industry can keep encouraging and inspiring women to join the profession, stating that female plumbers need to remain visible and support those women trying to get into the industry.
“If it’s not unusual to see a woman plumber, it won’t be unusual to choose to become a woman plumber. Female professionals in our industry, all of you here, are the ones who will become role models and support the next generation of female installers,” Hattie said.
The afternoon saw the drawing of the raffle, in which Joanna and Emma of Able Girl Plumber won a weekend in a luxury cabin fitted with underfloor heating, courtesy of sponsor Polypipe.
Able Girl Plumber offers a range of services, from minor repairs to full bathroom installations, and delegates Joanna and Emma were delighted to win the top prize in the conference draw.
As well as providing a speaker and raffle prize for the conference, Polypipe also offered all attendees free membership to its Registered Installer Network, a nationwide association of professional underfloor heating installers who can benefit from support including lead generation, free website listing, an online quotation tool, and information on new products and events.
Overall, the event was a great success, with many commenting on how inspired they felt following the day’s sessions, talks, and networking opportunities. More events are now in discussion for the future – watch this space.

How to Start a Plumbing Business
Getting into the plumbing business can potentially make you a lot of money. Charlie Mullins, for instance, became famous for becoming Britain’s first plumber millionaire, even though he had no formal education.
Business leaders and government officials are also encouraging regular people like you to become plumbers (or members of other skilled trades) to avoid the ever-increasing costs of a college education. Those who build successful businesses in the sector can often make a lot of money from the outset and avoid the burden of student debt.
Starting a successful plumbing business requires guile and cunning. It is not easy. But despite the challenges, it provides substantial rewards. You don’t have to build a £70 million fortune and turn over £18 million per year like Mullins to make a success of it. Even a relatively small operation can provide you with stable employment and an impressive income that far outshines what you could make in the traditional graduate professions.
In this post, we’re going to take a look at the specifics of starting a plumbing business so that you can enjoy a level of success approaching that of Mullins in your own life. Here you’ll learn how to get your business off the ground, take it to the next stage, and what it takes to build a world-beating plumbing brand.
From humble beginnings, you can grow an enterprise that delivers financial rewards beyond your wildest dreams.
Step One — Become A Self-Employed Plumber
Before you can do any form of plumbing work, you must become a certified plumber.
In general, you have three routes you can take:
Complete a traditional plumbing apprenticeship course.
Work as a plumber’s mate.
Take a fast-track plumbing course.
Once you become qualified, you are then free to set yourself up as a self-employed plumber, working with your clients according to a schedule you create.
Step Two — Build Your Skills
The next step is to build your skills and become a true master of your trade. While this might sound a little daunting, you’ll be amazed just how much you can learn from a couple of years on the job. As you go through your work, you encounter new and exciting challenges that allow you to hone your talents and build up a significant repertoire. Tasks can be tricky at first. But once you deal with an issue, it becomes easier to solve in the future.
The skills you need to become a competent plumber, however, are quite different from those you need to set up a plumbing business. The former relies on having excellent technical skills and decent customer service. The latter relies on having people skills and business acumen.
Being a master of your trade can help. Taking advanced courses, for instance, allows you to become an example to the people you bring into your firm. But you also need other skills, such as the ability to hire quality staff, market your plumbing services, and manage your finances.
Unfortunately, there’s a big difference between learning these skills and doing them. You can read all the books you like, but there is no substitute for getting stuck in and doing the hard work, just as Mullins did back in the 1980s building Pimlico Plumbers.
Fortunately, you don’t have to wait until you hire people to practice many of these skills. Nothing is stopping you from marketing your services through your website or on social media right now. Similarly, you can become an expert in managing your finances if you want, ensuring that you’re accounting for costs and minimizing tax take.
Step 3 — Set Up A Private Limited Company
Once you feel you’ve built up the requisite skills, you’re ready to take the next step and set up a private limited company.
A private limited company is essentially a legal entity that limits your liability if things go wrong. So, if your plumbing business loses a lot of money and goes under, creditors can’t repossess your assets, like your home.
Private limited companies are also an excellent structure to adopt if you want to take on employees. Remember, if you remain a sole trader, you limit the amount of money you can make. If, however, you start employing other licensed and accredited plumbers, you can complete more work and generate additional revenue.
Setting up a private limited company in the UK requires registering your name with Companies House and submitting regular financial statements and returns to HMRC. It sounds like a lot of work, but you don’t need to do any of this yourself – accounting firms can take care of the process for you.
To set up your business with Companies House, however, you’ll need to do the following:
Choose a name for your company.
Designate a company secretary and name the directors.
Prepare documents stating how you agree to run the company.
Identify people with significant control over the business.
Name the shareholders and guarantors.
You can register your new business here. Once you’ve done that, HMRC will send you letters requesting accounting details and information annually.
Step 4 — Market Your Plumbing Company

Once you have the administrative details out of the way and you complete your training, the next stage is to market your company. If you’ve worked as a sole trader for a few years, you will already have some experience reaching out to customers. Marketing a limited liability firm is similar in some respects, but it requires you to think more broadly.
Search Engine Optimisation
If you want to start a plumbing business, having a visible website is critical. You want people to be able to find you when they type relevant terms into the search box, such as “plumbers near me” or “leaky pipe in London.” Search engine optimization or SEO is a bundle of techniques that you can use to help your website rank higher in Google search results for specific keywords.
You can attempt to carry out this work yourself, but you do better working with a digital marketing agency. These guys already have all the knowledge, tools, and connections you need to promote your business and improve your ranking. Typically, you pay them a monthly fee, and then they get on with the work of building links and creating written content. Over time, your position in the ranking should improve. And, if you choose the right agency, you’ll start outranking competitors in your local market, grabbing business from them.
Set Up Your Google My Business Account
Google My Business is a service the search giant offers that allows you to display vital business information on Google Maps and in regular search results. All you do is apply for an account, and then Google sends you a code in the post, confirming your business address. You enter this code into the console, and then Google automatically registers your firm, giving local users critical information, such as location, opening times, and reviews.
As you might expect, Google My Business is a powerful SEO tool. It drums up substantial amounts of local traffic for your firm. You should notice a trickle of customer inquiries in the first few days following setting it up. As you combine it with other marketing techniques, a stream of customers can soon turn into a torrent.
Create Memorable Signage
Of course, back in the 1980s, Mullins couldn’t market his services over the internet. Instead, his main tools were signage and paint jobs on his vehicles.
Even today, memorable signage remains invaluable. You want to create a brand image that people can instantly recognize and remember when in their hour of need.
Plumbing companies, therefore, often choose bold names and even bolder brand design themes to complement their operations. Mild, classically professional schemes don’t usually generate results unless the firm is well-known in the local area for other reasons.
Create A Website With A Conversion Funnel
Go on the average plumbing company website, and you’ll be treated to a menu of services and copy attempting to draw attention from search engines.
This approach is standard in the industry, but it isn’t state-of-the-art. The best approach is to create a series of funnels that convert customers from passing interest to paying customers.
A sales funnel is essentially a system of targeted, guided marketing. You attempt to capture prospects at various stages in the buying cycle and then use specific marketing techniques to push them further towards conversion.
Let’s suppose, for instance, that you have a customer who thinks that they might have a leaky pipe, but they’re not sure. Typically, they will search around for helpful content that provides them with quick answers before taking the plunge. Here, therefore, you could help them with an educational article peppered with links to your services.
Another scenario type of customer might be one experiencing a plumbing emergency right now. Here you can use your homepage as a funnel to direct customers to your contact hotline. It could be something as simple as a button that says “click here for immediate emergency assistance.”
Hopefully, you get the picture. You want your content to act as a kind of conveyor belt. It should direct various customers at different stages in the buying cycle to your services, depending on their current needs.
Make Your Brand Unassailable
Pimlico Plumbers is perhaps the best-known plumbing brand in London and a name that people trust. When customers order the company’s services, they know that they’re going to get a guaranteed, minimum standard associated with the name (and usually a lot more).
Thus, brand capital is perhaps the critical ingredient in building a successful plumbing operation. You want your name to become known far and wide to build a client base. People should be confident that if they come to you, they’re getting the best.
Unfortunately, there are no easy short-cuts here. Building an unassailable brand requires years of dedication to the cause. To pull it off, you’ll need to put in place robust, quality control processes and thoroughly vet your staff. Branding relies on a combination of effective marketing, backed up by genuine competence.
Step 5 — Create A Compelling Price Structure
Customers want to know that when they come to you, they’re getting great value for money. Setting up a transparent pricing formula, therefore, is vital.
Here, you have two options. You can charge by the hour or a fixed fee for generic services. (Most plumbing companies do a mixture of both).
Being consistent in your pricing helps to build trust. Customers know that when they come to you, you’re not going to slap them with unexpected fees. Instead, you explain to them at the outset what the work will cost, and stick with your quote (unless something unexpected comes up).
Being consistent helps you to gain word-of-mouth business too. Commercial and residential clients tell their colleagues, contacts, associates, and friends about your services in regular conversation, helping to generate further interest.
Step 6 — Set Up Your Office
Source – DepositPhotos.com
Finally, you’ll want to set up an office that isn’t just a room in your home.
At the start, you may not be able to afford commercial premises. But once you move beyond a dozen or so employees, it is something you will need to consider from a practical perspective.
Offices are a place where you can field calls and reach out to new customers. Eventually, they’ll become a place where you store your paperwork and even entertain clients.
Whether you set up an office at home or a separate premises, you’ll need desks, chairs, telephones, computers, WiFi, cabinets, printers, and a supply of stationery.
Concluding Remarks
Setting up a plumbing business is a way to transform a regular trade into a lucrative money-spinner. By building an enterprise, you’re no longer dependent on exchanging your time for money. Instead, you’re creating a brand and scaling it, allowing you to generate profits, even while you’re not working.
Charlie Mullins made an enormous amount of money by going down this route. With the help offered in this article, you can too.

The best method of building plumbing in 2020
Building plumbing best practices and methods in 2020
Due to the variety of building plumbing methods in this article we intend to inform you about how to plumb the building from top to bottom and determine the best building plumbing practices. First of all, we explain the different methods of water piping in the building and examine the pros and cons of each.
Traditional building plumbing
Water piping has been traditionally used in building construction, and it can be said that most buildings used to be piped in the past. At that time, most of buildings plumbing were done by metal pipes. But for reasons such as high installation costs due to hard work, long-term rusting of the pipes, and heavy metal pipes, they are no longer used in building water piping.
Picture: Sample of branched plumbing with the help of polymer tubes by our expert team
Branched building plumbing
In water plumbing, the water pipe splits across the entire building from the main riser, and there is no difference in how hot and cold water is plumbed. In this method, the main pipe is used directly after the meter is installed inside the building where it has entered the street. The main use of indoor water risers in the branching method is that for each consumption point a branch is taken from the pipe and in the end the whole pipeline route is connected. That is why this type of plumbing is called branching.
Emergency Plumber London | plumber east london | hotel plumbing | Plumbers in my area | city plumbing near me
Building Plumbing Method A
For hot water piping, a branch of the main riser enters the thermal device and drains the hot water out of its outlet. This was a general description of branching plumbing. Now, the shape of the branched pipes is divided into two categories according to the branch plumbing. In fact, we can say that the best method of building plumbing in the split method is based on these two models.
If the pipes pass through the main riser from under the building material, the plumbing shape will be built in, and yet this type of plumbing cannot be implemented in residential buildings without carving. However, if the hot and cold water pipes are radiated onto the outer surface of the wall, the piping procedure will be in the form of a surface.
Collector Plumbing:
The reason this type of building plumbing is named collector is the use of a collector device in this model. This type of plumbing is modern and advanced and does not abide by the traditional plumbing laws, because unlike split plumbing, this model of plumbing can also be run on a single building. In this method, the main water riser enters the collector after entering the street into the building where the collector is to be plumbed. It is then used in different locations as needed.
Plumbing note: “The number of collectors inside the building varies by a number of places of consumption.”
Collectors are available on the market with a number of different outputs and inputs. We have included more comprehensive information in the collector’s article. Now, apart from the variety of collector models, we need at least two separate collectors for hot and cold water piping in building plumbing. Because the main water regulator does not directly enter the heat exchanger, we need a separate collector to split the hot water pipe out of the package between the heat exchangers, such as radiators.

Picture: Collector plumbing of a multistory building
Unlike traditional plumbing or branch plumbing, the collector cannot be lined up, as the tubing is only built-in after leaving the collector box, but in this way, the pipes can be in two different states base on drawings in the building. In some buildings, pipes pass through the floor like a branch pipe, but in more modern buildings the collector piping method is applied subcutaneously, that is in case the pipes of a building pass under the upper floor.
Building Plumbing Method B
An example of a collector plumbing whose pipes are also directed under the roof by our co-workers, The best way of plumbing a building can be found by examining factors such as the speed of execution, cost of work, quality of work and maintenance of water plumbing in the building. Of course, the shape of the structure is also very important in finding the best piping method. The form of the structure means that the building is under construction or is in residence. This factor plays an important role in choosing the type of plumbing for a building that cannot be easily overlooked, especially if you are planning on plumbing on a separate floor.
Building plumbing best practices conclusion
From the above, we can conclude that the best way of plumbing a building is depends on the type of building structure. So this article just tried to give information about all types of water piping in the building, and the advantages and disadvantages of each. Hopefully, we’ve been able to help you make the right choice for your building type.
Finally, we refer to the services provided by our partners in the 24-hour facility group. In a project under construction, our colleagues used a five-layer collector piping. A separate collector was also installed in the building to run the boiler. The five-layer hot-water piping in the building is used as a floor plan. If you would like to know more about how to use water piping in buildings, please ask for professional plumbers in London area or contact us.

Superb Providers from Expert Roofing Fixing Specialists
When your roofing system is harmed or tired out to the factor of leaking, a choice to fix or change it has to be made. We'll perform a totally free assessment to figure out real problem of your roofing system to ensure that you could make an educated choice based upon realities, not conjecture.
You might be amazed to discover that a lot of the roofing systems we are contacted to change can, with appropriate fixings, be recovered to offer several years of extra solution.
In picking in between repair work as well as substitute we take into consideration just how old the roofing is as well as the sort of roofing that remains in area (some roof products last much longer compared to others). Having actually been a reputable London roofing contractors for greater than 25 years, we understand precisely just what to seek, so we could usually find a roofing leakage quite rapidly. Bear in mind, water is consistent as well as it could take a trip rather a range prior to you see it appearing on your ceiling. By the time you observe it in the inside, the real roof covering might have begun leaking weeks or months prior to that. It is very important to call us as quickly as you see an issue-- the earlier we capture the issue as well as care for it, the smaller sized as well as cheaper the repair work will certainly be. If you wish to examine your roofing on your own to see if you have to obtain it changed, have a look at the indications that suggest you require a brand new roof system.
Prior to our roofing company could carry out any kind of roof covering repair work London location house owners demand, we should initially find where the damages are. Often times, we could do that merely by strolling the roofing system and also looking very closely at a few of the most likely "problem places." In various other instances, we have to examine the attic room or leading flooring for indications of water access, and also track the leakage.
Below are a few of the usual areas where we discover issues on a residence:
Chimney: Your Chimneyhas numerous areas that could need a roofing system repair service. The probability of a trouble relies on exactly how well the initial roof instalment was done. Your Chimney has 4 sides, and also each side has blinking, which is exactly what shields the line where the side of the Chimney fulfills the roofing. Additionally, each of those 4 sides might have a various sort of blinking, depending upon where the Chimney lies. Also the smallest fracture that permits water to obtain in behind the blinking could transformed into a significant roof covering leakage. This is why the Chimneyis just one of the top places we inspect.
Plumbing Vents:An additional feasible place for requiring repair work, a pipes air vent needs to really appear via an opening in the roofing system. Whenever an opening is made in the roof covering, it needs to be secured correctly. Sometimes, such as a pipes air vent, the opening might be secured penalty at the time of setup, yet after that the rubber boot around the air vent pipeline could end up being solidified or split in time as well as end up being jeopardized.
Wind-Blown Rain Leak:This is not in fact an issue brought on by a damaged roof covering or a negative setup. Below in Florida we could have solid winds as well as rainfall, and also the rainfall could essentially be blowing side wards. This occurs frequently in the summertime. Your roof product is made to draw away water that originates from above, not from the side. When rainfall is blowing highly, it could be increased as well as under your tiles. Then, the only point in between the rainfall as well as your home is a layer of tar paper. This kind of roof covering fixing typically simply indicates changing any type of tiles that were jeopardized. If component of your roof covering usually encounters the wind, we would certainly additionally attach down the tiles on the brink with some roof concrete. This decreases the opportunities of the very same point occurring once again.
Missing/Damaged Roofing shingles: We could identify this very rapidly once we mindful the roofing system. Every missing out on or harmed tile is one much less layer of defense in between your home and also the rainfall. Every tile is very important, so if one or a number of are missing it is certainly time for a roofing system repair work. This is just one of one of the most usual roofing system leakage incidents, as well as is more than likely to take place if your asphalt roof shingles roof covering is greater than 15 or Two Decade old. That's standing up in years for asphalt tiles, specifically under our solid Florida sunlight. We could consider the roofing and also see if it makes good sense to fix the place of the leakage, or if it would certainly be much more inexpensive to change the roof covering.
A Nail That Has Backed Out:In a tile roofing, you could discover that a tile nail has actually in some way backed itself out and also punctured the leading tile. You would certainly be stunned at just how much water could go into in via that little nail opening. In time this could imply a fair bit of water damages; capturing it very early is an economical repair.
Bad Flashing Installation:Flashing is the steel item that secures up the location where the roofing system satisfies an upright surface area, such as a smoke shaft or a wall surface. If this is not set up effectively, water will certainly locate a method ultimately. Nails could likewise function themselves from blinking.

Steel is extremely concerned, it lasts a very long time, needs little upkeep (at some point none), as well as it radiates a specialist appearance. When the Sky Ways Roofing group executes steel roofing system repair services, we eliminated the harmed location, and also tidy the repair work place meticulously. We take a matching steel "spot" of the exact same shade, reduced bigger compared to the initial place, and also secure it right into location with a block to consider it down. After that, we solder each side. Then, we utilize an additional, bigger steel spot compared to the one we simply made use of. After that we use roof concrete to layer the whole location.
