Mister Von Ryker was always a gentle and kind man, someone people within James’ position would love to have as employer. Not only was his master kind to him but he was to his sister as well, even knowing his backstory and what he and his sister went through, Mister Von Ryker was willing to give both of them a job. James proved his loyalty to his master and became a valued member of the staff, much like his sister in her department of the maids.

James, ever keen on the world around him, caught the nervous glance in his direction and, with a straight face, he provided Freya with a small but reassuring nod. Out of everyone in the room, the only person who wasn’t tense about the situation was James. He understood just how important this was to her and had no doubt in his mind that her father would react in a negative fashion. As he stood there he simply waited for the relief to move across the young Miss’s face. 

The relief took longer to arrive than he had expected, mainly because the Master took long to read the paper. However he couldn’t argue with the man wanting to take it all in, his daughter worked hard to be accepted and receive a full ride along with it. It was worth the intense read and attention to celebrate the fact that his daughter made it into such a difficult college.

Upon hearing the request from Mister Von Ryker, James placed an open palm against his heart and bowed his upper body. “I will make the arrangements and the party can be held tomorrow.”


[b]“Right, the term begins on Monday. We’ll have the party tomorrow, you can pack Saturday and we’ll have your things and you settled in at the dorms on Sunday evening.”[/b] A chuckle left the maids; the Master seemed as excited as the Miss, to their chuckling James shot them a look only to hear the Master chuckling as well. [b]“I guess I do get excitable from time to time. But how could I not? This is such an accomplishment for my daughter and her life has only begun!”[/b] At that James excused himself from the room to begin the preparations. 

As he promised,  Friday evening arrived and the manor’s garden was in full swing for a party. 200+ people arrived to celebrate the Miss’s acceptance into one of the most prestige college’s in the country. Friends, family and business partners arrived with gifts and goodies to help her make it through her time in college. After being spoken with by the Master and agreeing, James ventured back into the house and knocked politely on Freya’s door. “Miss, I’m here to escort you to the party.”
