Butler Service

It was supposed to be a simple job. Pit would serve as a butler for six months. It seemed simple enough. Pit found himself in the service of a woman named Erza Knightwalker. Pit was normally a cocky, prideful guy and would never openly admit his fears. But if there was one thing he'd freely admit, it would be this: Erza intimidated him. Hell, he might go so far as to say she terrified him.

Pit had taken on a genocidal nature goddess, an alien invasion, a being of chaos, and even stared down the God of the Underworld without blinking. Yet out of all the beings he's faced, few have ever instilled more fear in him than Erza. And she was a human at that. She was the polar opposite of Lady Palutena in every way. Lady Palutena was warm, bubbly, friendly, and outgoing. Erza was distant, aloof, ruthless, and cold. It certainly didn't help that she was very demanding and had a short temper. Pit often heard her fly off the handle at other servants for the smallest things. That frightened Pit.

When he first started, the other servants gave him this piece of advice: "Keep your nose clean, and stay on her good side." And so Pit did. If Erza gave an order, he would follow it with no questions asked and with no hesitation just as he did under Lady Palutena's service. Over the course of two months, Pit began to get to know Erza better and started to see a much softer side to her. But he also began to see a slightly more... flirtatious side with her. Erza would often make passes at him or flirt with him in subtle ways. The extra attention creeped him out a bit, but he tried his best to ignore it and continue with his duties.

Tonight, Pit was on his way to Erza's bedroom. She said she had an important matter to discuss with him. Pit couldn't help but be a bit nervous. Whenever he met with Erza, it would always be in the presence of others. But here, he would be alone with her. Also, what was it she wanted to talk to him about? Was a raise in the works? Or was it another matter entirely? Either way, he tried to stay positive.

Eventually, he reached her bedroom and knocked on her door before entering.

"You wanted to see me, Lady Erza?"
