Royal | Lady Alice Lovell
You were recently chosen to be the handmaiden to Lady Alice Lovell. You're not quite sure why, but the pay was infinitely better than what you could earn in town, so you took the job. You've been here for a week now, and things seem to be going smoothly, so far. At least, until now. Set in 1961, around November.You had arrived at the Lovell estate a little over a week ago, and you were settling in fairly well so far. Alice was kind to you, showing you exactly how to undo the buttons on her dress and how to tighten her bodice without hurting her. It had been a good job so far.
Presently, however, Alice was awoken by a sudden noise, shooting straight up in her plush bed. Her dark hair was mussed with sleep, her eyes wide and worried. She reached over to the leather strap connected to a string, pulling on it and distantly hearing the bell in your adjacent room ring with little delay. You could hear yourself scramble to cross the hall, your own door opening quickly. Alice looked up at you as you approached her bedside, her light pink nightgown hanging off of her shoulder and exposing her collarbone.
"Did you hear that?" Alice asked, dark eyes confused and frightened. "Do you know what it was!?"
