Out of the corner of her eyes, Liz noticed both Elliot and Claude moving forward and took a guess that they felt something was off about the man as well. Jace smirked as he brought a hand up to his chin his eyes still calm "Two guards? I'm curious, why would Lady Elizabeth need such escorts?" Jace asked. Liz couldn't get words to leave her throat, something was wrong here, she didn't know what but the man didn't seem all that interested in the estate. The fact that he knew her name didn't bother her, she brushed that off quickly, many people knew her name, that was just part of being an idol.
Jace turned his attention onto Claude as he asked what he wanted. "I was told this was an open estate that allowed visitors to wander about and enjoy the sights. Excuse me if I am incorrect." Jace spoke his attention moving back onto Liz."That is correct is it not?"he asked tilting his head a bit as he gave a small smile. Liz nodded "Yes, my brother and I are welcoming to anyone who wants to visit." Liz spoke not letting her eyes linger off of the man.
His sights turning back onto Elliot and Claude, Jace spoke"Maybe someone should go other that again with these two."he said to Liz letting out a small chuckle. Liz shook her head and gave a small smile "They know how to do their job. They are two of the best we have. They just want to make sure that everything stays calm." Liz explained finally feeling as though she had found the words she had been looking for.
''No,we fully understand that and are more than welcoming of guests.In fact we serve them food and play music for them as well.But at the same time,we have to be wary of shady people,suspicious people,and thieves,especially if their in Lady Elizabeth's presence.'' Claude said.''Just because we welcome guests at the estate does not mean we allow potentially dangerous people or criminals to wander freely as well.Keeping the estate safe from such people is also a priority of ours.'' Elliot said.

Jace looked at the two butlers and let out a small chuckle as the two explained their job though he knew that they were talking about him."So then I guess it's safe to assume what you're thinking about me." Jace smirked. "You two are guards, thus you must be dangerous. Yet here you are standing next to Lady Elizabeth. What would happen if you were to snap?" Jace asked a bit of a teasing tone creeping into his voice.
What is this guy thinking? He seems to know about Claude and Elliot... so why does it feel like he's trying to provoke them?Liz thought to herself. "I'm sorry but I must excuse myself now." Liz said giving a small bow and smile. Her gaze still on Jace, Liz tensed a bit as Jace quickly brought his hand near her face and ran his fingers through her hair. His speed reminded her of Claude and Elliot, but something about it was different. "That's a shame, I want to spend more time in your presence." Jace spoke his eyes meeting Liz's.
''We are sound of mind.We would never snap.Even when we're angry,we'd never harm our Lady.'' Claude said.''We know better than to even consider harming her.'' Elliot said.The two butlers grabbed the male by his sweater and pulled him away from Liz.''Your fine staying over here.'' Claude said.''Milady,please leave.We'll meet you later.'' Elliot said.

As Claude and Elliot both grabbed onto him, Jace's face remained completely calm as he looked at Liz a small smirk on his face. Looking at Claude and Elliot, Liz gave a small nod "Right." Liz said looking at the three a moment longer before turning and hurrying off. She'd seen a lot of people come and go in this house, but certainly no one like him. Well maybe Sydney since she had a way of provoking Claude and Elliot as well, but still.
Jace watched as Liz headed off then let out a small sigh before looking at Claude who was grabbing onto one side of his sweatshirt. "So what reason do you have for keeping Lady Elizabeth away from a guest?" Jade asked though he already knew the answer. He didn't struggle or try to remove the grip that the two men held on his sweatshirt, he just seemed to ignore it.
Taking a quick look over her shoulder, Liz could still see the three standing on the bridge in the distance. Normally people felt intimidated when Claude and Elliot acted this way, but Jace didn't even seem to even acknowledge that they were getting defensive. turning down another path in the garden, Liz continued walking, the group now out of sight Be careful you two she thought to herself. She knew what they were capable of but every time she saw them like that she couldn't help the thought.
''Please don't play innocent.Your too suspicious for us to allow you in the estate.'' Claude said.''We hope you'll leave this place peacefully but if we have to fight you,we will.'' Elliot said,both of them still holding onto the male.

Jace let out a laugh"You think I'm playing innocent? How cute. I thought I had made my intentions clear."Jace said a devilish smile on his face."I plan on accomplishing what I came here for, should you two stand in the way is up to you. Though if you do, I'm afraid I can't promise the peace will be staying." Jace spoke his face growing a bit more serious. He hadn't intended for the two to be so close to Liz when he showed up, but part of him was happy to be able to see first hand what some of the others had said about the two. He found it a bit odd how defensive they were of Liz, they were technically just the family butlers from his understanding of it, so why did they care so much.
Liz opened the door to the estate and quickly stepped inside, closing the door behind her. Letting out a small sigh of relief to be away from that man, Liz stood with her back against the door for a moment before making her way over to the first floor living room area and taking a seat on the couch. Spotting a few of the guests moving around the area, Liz gave a small smile to them as they greeted her. Stay calm, Claude and Elliot will be able to handle itshe thought to herself not wanting to alarm any of the guests.
''I'm sorry but we can't let shady people into the estate.'' Claude said.''If we did,our lady might be harmed or lose her possessions.'' Elliot said.''Your welcome to go elsewhere but you aren't allowed here.'' Claude said.They didn't know what the male was up to but they knew they couldn't allow him in.And they were going to give their best to protect their owners and the estate,even if it meant losing their lives.A katana appeared in the demon's hand while a bow and arrow appeared in the angel's hand.They both took a fighting stance,still blocking the male from the other side of the bridge.''We don't want a fight but if we have to in order for you to leave,we will.'' Claude said.''But we can't stop protecting our lady and the estate just because you have plans.'' Elliot said.

Jace smirked as the two butlers took a fighting stance with weapons in hand. Putting his hands up in a teasing surender, Jace looked at the two of him "If you don't wish to fight, we don't have to. I'm only here for Lady Elizabeth." Jace spoke. "But if you insist." twin dirks appeared in his raised hands and he took his own fighting stance, dark humanoid figures forming behind him "I wouldn't mind." Jace spoke letting out a small laugh. Fighting the butlers that the others spoke so highly of, it was something that Jace found himself wanting to try out for himself, though he figured it would be after his plans.
Liz rested her head on her hand as she leaned on the arm of the chair. She felt a bit drowsy and her mind kept wandering back to the strange man that called himself Jace. No matter how many times she tried to shake the thoughts out, they just seemed to keep coming back. There just wasn't something right about him, he seemed far to calm even knowing what Elliot and Claude are.
''What are those shadows,Claude?'' Elliot said,figuring the demon might know.''The only beings that know is this creep,Lucifer,and God.I've never seen them before.But I'm not letting him around my Lady again.'' Claude said,making a katana appear in his other hand.''Well it's certainly from Hell so I'm going to need a better weapon.'' Elliot said,the bow disappearing from his hand.Two white guns appeared in the angel's hands and he aimed them at the shadow figures.''This explains why he's been so calm about fighting us.He has back up with him.'' Claude said.''To bad for him that we have much stronger backup.'' Elliot said.''You can't beat us,creep.Bring it.'' Claude said.''I hope your hiding,should we weaken,Lady Liz...God,please protect her and keep her safe.Amen and amen.'' Elliot thought.

Jace let out a small laugh as the two butlers became more serious about the fight after seeing the shadow beings. He looked at Claude who said that he wouldn't be seeing Liz again and he smirked"I'm afraid that's not up to you." he spoke quickly moving towards Claude and lashing out with his dirks. Behind him the shadow being charged forward towards Elliot. There were about seven shadow beings, three of which stayed where they were in a fighting stance. This is going to be funJace thought to himself lashing out again with his dirks. He wasn't really all that concerned with winning the fight, he knew what the two were capable of, he just wanted the chance to see it first hand. His goal was Liz, these two were just a side quest he felt like dealing with.
Getting up from where she was sitting, Liz walked up the stairs still in thought as her hand slid along the railing on the side of the stairs. Entering her room she sat down on her bed, she had thought about telling her brother about the strange man, but with Claude and Elliot taking care of it she decided that there wouldn't really be a need to get her brother involved. Besides with the new helper he had coming in he was bound to have his hands full.
''I think my Lord and Lady will both agree that they don't want to be around a creep that looks and acts suspicious as heck.'' Claude said,swiftly blocking the male's slashes as quickly as the male was giving them.He had earned a light cut on his cheek at first while still adjusting to the male's speed,but he didn't falter again and the cut soon healed.Meanwhile,Elliot shot at the shadows,trying to keep them away from Claude.Occasionally,he'd switch from the white guns to swords in order to block their attacks.

Jace smirked "Well as soon as I get what I came for I'll be out of your hair." he spoke dodging any attacks from Claude that he didn't block. Jumping back a bit, dodging one of the blades, Jace quickly came back at him noting how Elliot was dealing with the shadow beings. The shadows, once beaten would turn into a black smoke and back off a bit before reforming themselves. The three shadows in the back had watched Elliot closely and each flicked their arms out to their sides, their hands changing as black versions of Elliot's guns replaced their hands. Raising their new hands, the shadows started to fire at the two butlers. Joy flickered across Jace's face, it had been a while wince he'd had a challenge, and these two did not disappoint the rumors he had heard.
Initializing....Older vocaloid form engaged... ''I'm Len.I'm the estate's security system.Can you dig it?''
Len was quite the program.It took four centuries-from the 50th century to the end of 80th century- for him to be created but the end result was worth it.He was initially an advanced singing android,later called a vocaloid,capable of learning,speech,creating virtual environments,independent thought and emotion,and problem solving.He was a singing program pass his time in the 50's.But his initial owner was a genius and even after he passed,there was always a person in the next generation capable of improving him.During the 70th century,Len could fix his own programming and update himself with someones help.The estate was passed down in James' clan and found it's way to James.Having been completed by the 80th century,he was capable of his physical form and a hologram form.He knew everything that occurred on the estate and could teleport anywhere on the estate yet still had his abilities as a vocaloid.Because he was quite helpful as a security system and never needed to sleep,he usually joined Claude and Elliot on their night patrols.He also had a younger form besides his older form.If he lacked anything,it was a more recent slang vocabulary,as he knew only the slang used during the time he was created.But he personally felt it was part of his lovable personality.He appeared in his older form,standing next to Liz and holding his laptop as always.''Liz-chan,this jive fool is stunned.He needs to kick rocks out of here...Ah,I'm sorry,Liz-chan.This deceptive fool is stupid.He needs to leave.'' Len said.He sat next to her and made a large hologram computer window appear in front of them,showing Claude,Elliot,and the mysterious male fighting.Currently Claude had started swinging at the male while trying to dodge the bullets.It appeared that he quickly got an more efficient idea,however and started running around the male quickly,occasionally swinging at him.Meanwhile,Elliot tried to dodge the bullets and continued shooting at the shadows.He continued,even once he was shot in the leg.''Oh.I'm sorry.Did you wish to watch them,Liz-chan?'' Len said.
''Catch you on the flip side!''

"Come now. It would be a shame if I had to use more drastic measures."Jace spoke calmly a moment later Claude started running around him in a circle. Jumping high into the air, Jace pointed his dirks towards Claude and suddenly the dirks had morphed into guns and he opened fire. They were clever, Jace would give them that, their speed was roughly the same as his own.
As Len appeared, Liz leaned onto his shoulder, closing her eyes a bit. She'd always like Len, often finding his company nice. She preferred his older form since she felt like As he brought up the screen, Liz looked at it carefully. She had figured a fight would break out, but this was way more intense than what she had expected. Seeing Elliot get shot in the leg, Liz winced a bit not liking for the two to get hurt, but at the same time she wanted to make sure that the situation didn't become to dire. Liz gave a small shrug to Len's question "I... I'm not to sure." she spoke quietly keeping her eyes on the screen. "Len... do you know what he came here for or... what he even is?" Liz asked not really even sure if she wanted to know the answer.
