'Boyfriend?!?!?!' This one word was screaming in every single one of the servant's minds.
The young lady was certainly always outwardly kind and graceful to everyone but she had her walls up. She never grouped up with anyone nor has she ever taken a Friend home let alone a Boyfriend.
The person in question had no idea what she was talking about. But he did owe her so he just went along with it without changing his expression.
"A bbbb-boyfriend? Young Miss this…"
"Well grandfather always grumbled about having a boy in the family and that I will have to find a groom he will be proud of else he will personally choose one for me."
"But…"
"Look he's bound to be very handsome in the future, he's very mature for his age and he's a talent like no other. I doubt there would be anyone better."
"This…"
"Anyways this isn't up for discussion. Come Rin let's have our dinner. Do you like steak?" Sylvia once again very naturally took him by his hand and dragged him off to the dining area.
Gramps stood there stunned for a few seconds before sighing.
"How am I supposed to report this to the master and old master…." The old butler looked around to only find the maids putting their thumbs up cheering him on. Their cheeky expressions as they urged him on could only make him laugh and cry at the same time.
The old butler decided.
Put the call off till the last minute possible.
The combination of the old master and master would surely drive him crazy for a few weeks so…
"Go see if the guest needs anything and tell the chef to cook an extra portion. That lass…."

"Sylvia what was that all about?"
"Hmm? That? Well…. Family issues." Sylvia had a hint of sadness when she said that but her expression quickly changed.
"Why? Are you happy that you gained such a beautiful Girlfriend?" Sylvia said in a teasing tone.
Rin patted her head gently, just the way his little Sister liked it.
"If you ever need to talk, you can come to me."
Sylvia blushed at the softness of his caress even more so because she felt like he was coaxing a child.
It didn't feel bad though so she enjoyed it till they were called for dinner and only then she regained her sanity.
The Butler who saw her face flushed rosy red thought she really fell hard for the lad. The butler thought this couldn't be put off anymore so when after he sent the young lad back to his sleeping quarters he reluctantly took out his communicator.
"Master I have something to report…"
"What is it gramps? It's unusual of you to be calling at this hour. Did something happen? Wait it's not Sylvia is it!? I'm on my way right now."
"No.. I mean yes but you don't have to come, it's not that urgent."
"What is it then? Don't beat around the bush."
"Well… The young lady brought home a.."
"A Friend?" The master tried guessing and was extremely happy if that was the case.
"Well yes but. There's an extra three letter word in front of what you just said."
"Gay Friend?"
"No, she called him her Boyfriend."
"..." the communicator turned eerily silent
After sometime the butler worked up the guts and asked "Sir?"
That night many yelling sounds were heard from the master's mansion and it became a sleepless night for many. While the 'boyfriend' was sleeping merrily back in his own quarters.
