The Duke's Madness(Victorian,Slave RP,Semi-Lit)

[Queen of Spades]

Leon had gone to the library, and had also overheard bits and pieces of the conversation between Shadow and Cecily. He went down the stairs and to the servant's quarters, waiting for Shadow to leave, and finding the tray in front of Cecily's door. He read the note, and narrowed his eyes at it. Great, she was instigating against him without even knowing it. He picked up the tray, and went to the library with it, where he placed it on the the table, hoping to maybe examine it a bit further. If it really did as she said it could do in the note, this would be dangerous.

Shadow came home her arms stuffed with things for Alice's party. She still needed to get gifts but that would have to wait until tomorrow. She had rushed back because she didnt really want Cecily to be alone too long and the potion makes you remeber quit quick she drank it when ever she wanted to remember her parnets. She dropped everthing off at her room put up a 'Do not enter' sigh and closed it tightly. She walked back to Cecily's room and was happy to see she ate and drank everything, She knocked and walked in. " Cecily what do you remember?" She asked hoping she had made her feel better. She knew the sighs when someone couldnt rememeber and it hurt their heads cause they tried to remember so hard and she also knew the sighs when someone remembered something they forgot.

Leon had once again started scouring the bookshelves for information that could be helpful. Psychology books which were very few in number, herbology books, medical books, anything that could possibly tell him more about a mind-altering herb or drug from an herb. He had never heard of such a thing, and was quite curious. Of course, once he finished, he would have the place scoured for such an herb and have every stalk, leaf, root, and seed of it burned, and keep tabs on his guest to make sure she made no more of the tea. He couldn't have any uprisings, now could he? He supposed he could always threaten the girl, and if she told any of the others, their "undying love" would completely overshadow any doubts they had of him, and even if they did, he could refresh the spell. And he could always feign innocence, say she's trying to steal away his servants, trying to somehow take him down from the high social status he acquired from his parents. Yes, that seemed like it could work well. He brought at least ten more books to his table, sliding the others to the ground for a moment. There was something new that needed to be researched.

Personality-
The House of Howard is the center of all the gaiety and merriment in London. This is all made sure of by the Lord of the house, Sir Daniel Rodger Howard. Daniel has always been a lively spirit. As an attractive wealthy young man, Daniel has always had an easy life. He is never in need for money, his entertainment is usually care for by the many parties he tends to throw, and his health is well as he is living his prime time. Daniel tends to be very ambitious to others. He likes power, although when he does posses it he does not tend to enforce upon it. Daniel always just thinks that what he has just isn't enough, and although he isn't greedily taking things, he does like to have a little more, bit by bit. Daniel is also a huge flirt. At his parties Daniel invites many beautiful woman that he has come to know and openly and shamelessly shows romantic advances to the public; although Daniel can never see himself ever being serious enough for marriage. Daniel is easily smitten by a pretty face and once he sees someone he likes he pursues after them. No one can call him a bastard though, for he never gets serious enough with anyone to cause any real trouble. All of Daniel's closest friends can say one thing about him without argument, and that is that Daniel is just so affable to all of whom he meets. He is a man of poetry and intellectual wit. He's a charmer, but not a sinner; a lover, but in no means is he not a fighter. Daniel surrounds himself in festivities of all sorts and is really only serious when it comes to the matter of business. Daniel is quite fond of all forms of art and admire those who can perform these arts. Daniel especially likes singers. As a poet, Daniel's poems could be set to music, and its those singers that bring his works to life.
History-
Daniel was the second oldest of three Howard children. After his father died when Daniel was but eight-teen, his older brother, the original heir to the Howard's estate, lived out his days at their large house until he died at the young age of twenty-two. He had been married to a lovely little creature named Claudia, a pretty little French girl, whom which he had two daughters with. Daniel paid for his sister-in-law's and nieces' trip back to France to live with Claudia's relative, as any respectable gentleman would do. Daniel then gained full ownership over the Howard estate and the rest of the family's fortune. Daniel's little sister, Victoria, had been married once under Daniel's careful eyes; but it was a short marriage as her husband died months after their wedlock. Victoria moved back into the Howard's estate and even though she is very pretty, her looks give everyone a pit of sadness as she plays the part of the grieving widow very well. Victoria is the only girl Daniel is serious about, since childhood they had been friends and he cares deeply for her well being. Daniel is determined to have the beautiful twenty-one year old married to a good husband, and consults frequently on his closest friends on the matter. Daniel tries to kept his family's woes out of the way by throwing lavish parties. This of which he does a lot.

-Cecily Anne Kirkland-

Cecily had almost fallen asleep as soon as she laid upon her bed. Her dreams were empty, and surprisingly lonely. Something that was dear to her was missing, but she did not know what it was. She sat in her mind, thinking. She was content as anyone could possibly be at master's side. She had times to play, and times to admire. Yet here she was, thinking an empty dream. Innocence, it was a pure state, but also a foolish state of not knowing. Cecily felt as if she were stuck in such a state. When she heard the knock outside her door, she woke up slightly and looked lazily over at the door. There felt to be a zap in Cecily's energy, and she did not care to get up and see. Her eyes closed again and she empty dream returned. She felt as though it were a nightmare. Cecily's eyes fluttered open when she heard Miss Shadow's voice. What seemed like a second to Cecily as she had drifted to sleep was more like an hour to reality, seeing that Miss Shadow was back from her shopping. Cecily smiled, glad to see a friend. Then she got slightly flustered, looking so sloppy as she was thrown across her bed. Cecily sat up straight quickly and smoothed her skirts as Miss Shadow spoke. The words that came out of Miss Shadow's mouth though, they were truly confusing. "Remember? Remember what? Have I forgotten something you have requested of me?" Cecily said, her eyes widened in slight alarm. "Oh please forgive me Miss Shadow! I should not have dosed of like that, I'll get what you need right away!" Cecily said as she sprang up from the bed and dipped her head a few times over.

Shadow looked horrifide someone has her drink. " Cecily sit now." She barked out. she gasped for air and looked around.." Did you eat and drink what i left?" She asked looking around She need Cecily to drink the potion if she didnt Shadow would get very sick. " Cecily please go get Jenny I'll just stay here for a moment to catch my breath." Shadow said, It all ready started. She was turning older not in looks..yet but it was happening. Who could have taken the drink she thought to herself jenny wouldnt and if Cecily did i would not be acting like this, Alice isnt back yet so not here and the drink is still vebrent which means that no one has drunk it yet. She sat on Cecily bed to rest.

-Cecily Anne Kirkland-

Cecily had a fearful look in her eyes. Cecily was a gentle girl, or at least in this state she was. Being yelled orders at made her a bit skittish, although usually she was a brave girl. Cecily had always known how to avoid being yelled at. Be scolded was different, but being yelled at was something she mad sure never happened. Cecily bit her bottom lip again as she began to back up a bit. Her hand brushed by the door handle and she replied back timidly to Miss Shadow. "R-Right away." Cecily then quickly opened the door and rushed out. By the time she had made it to that grand stair case, her headache had returned. This time it was not of the confusion of her own memory at least. She gathered her skirts a bit and quickly began the climb up the stairs. She bit her bottom lip a bit harder. Cecily now felt stressed. A girl like Cecily should never be too stressed, for when they were they could easily break down. Cecily had to do what Miss Shadow asked of her though, so she defied the teas that wanted to flow and refused the throbbing of her aching head. She was almost to the top of the stairs now, and if it weren't for a great deal of determination Cecily would have already crumpled to the floor.

I soon reached the stone wall that blocked off the end of the land"wow I can't believe I reached the end."I say and turn Alexander around to head back and I began to think about my dream but when I did I got a massive head ache. I stopped Alexander and held my head"Ow ow it hurts but why does it hurt so much to remember certain things" I say holding my head and breathing try to ease the pain hoping it would go away soon.

Leon had already scoured one book, finding nothing, then looked at the cup. He slowly picked it up and inhaled the aroma. He had nothing to remember, he doubted, so he took a sip. It wasn't horrible, but he didn't feel any effects. He placed it back down, and picked up another book, flipping through the pages. The scent of the tea made him almost a bit dizzy, but that was normal; he often was affected by smells. He heard someone tromping up the stairs, and stood up, walking to the door. At the sight of Cecily, he raised an eyebrow. "Is something wrong, m'dear?" He questioned, wondering what had caused her to act like she was in a panic.

((Ok they are accepted))

I was still sitting there my head now pounding as the dream plagued my mind. I soon became dizzy and passed out falling off Alexander,he slightly nugged me and when I wouldn't move he took off back to the mansion. Once he got to the back yard he began to rear and neigh making a ton of noise. I laid on the ground still passed out and the same dream ran over in my mind again and again, each time I still couldn't see anyone's face or hear what that man was saying.

Cecily almost jumped when she heard the sound of another human being. Seeing that it was indeed the master, Cecily bit her lip nervously, knowing that being seen in such a hysteric manner was unacceptable. She instantly bowed, formalities still came easy to her in her state of panic at least. Before she looked back up again she took a few quiet deep breaths. It was the job of the servant to handle the problems of the house, not to dump them upon their master. Cecily was a bit calmer now, but when she began speaking her averts averted to the floor, which not only is a trait of a liar, but also something Cecily never did. She was not known for ever being shy or inverted, but for rather being bold and right in the middle of things. "No sir." Cecily replied quietly. "Miss Shadow is not feeling well and told me to get Miss Jenny...I...I'm sorry if I disturbed your work." Cecily said apologetically as she cast her head down a bit. Behind her back her hands were gripper each other tightly as they forced Cecily to stay under control. Cecily was easily excited, and only on a few other select occasions at this mansion had she ever gotten worked up like this.

-Daniel Rodger Howard-
Looking out the window with a bored expression was a young man. His broad face which should have been alight with laughter was now drawn back in a sigh. Daniel was a social creature. He loved dinner parties and guests and dances and all that could be associated with such matters. Of course his own troubles and business affairs hung over him often, and that was a matter of which the lively young man should attend to. Daniel looked back from the window to the work that was piled upon his desk. Paper. Daniel thought of the subject with such utter disgust. There were too many laws and too much paperwork. In all honesty Daniel could swear that all this paperwork meant absolutely nothing. Does signing ink of a piece of ground up wood really mean you're going to do as it says? That hasn't stopped many villains in past. Paperwork was a waste of paper in fact. If paper should be used for anything, it should be used for either poetry or songs. Daniel's stressed face lightened at the subject. Yes, poetry and music, nothing more could bring a smile to Daniel's face, and a healthy laugh from his throat. Nothing more could entertain the frivolous nobleman. Daniel then looked over to the date on his calendar. He smiled, knowing that he would be free of this work in a few days and have a while to do something he liked. Perhaps, I'll trow a party; thought Daniel. Yes, that would be most splendid indeed. As he thought to himself his mood and body language became more content then stressed.
