Reunion of two evil looking ladies

Running through the hallways Liliana could only be mesmerized, everything was pristine. It had been so long since she saw the palace so neat, although she hand’t seen it for the better part of the last three years mind you.

When she reached the tea room, she was awfully out of breath, the guard outside the door saw her and made himself stand even more straight, a scary little girl was panting in front of him and he only thought about looking like a decoration.

“Her highness Liliana Storm has arrived.” The other guard said and opened the door.

Inside the room, sat a lone girl with red hair, drinking from a cup with gracefulness, she also looked about the same height and age as Liliana.

“Your highness” Eclair said and stood up before bowing and lifting her skirt a tiny bit.

“E-Eclair! You’re alive!” Liliana said as she ran towards the other girl and knocked her over.

“Eh? Y-your highness? What’s wrong?” Eclair was utterly in disbelief, her highness had never been one to be all touchy with someone.

“Ah- sorry, Eclair. I…Had a nightmare” Liliana said and stood up while helping the other young lady as well.

“My! Is that so?”

The pair sat down and drank in silence after that for a bit before their conversation continued.

“Has her highness tried this tea before? I bought it thinking it would be a nice surprise, is it to her highness’ liking?” Rosetta said in a most formal way.

“Eh? Yeah…I guess I like it, how you know?”

“Her highness hasn’t stopped staring at it.”

“Oh…well, didn’t thought I would get something as nice as this again” Liliana said while stirring the tea.

“mhm?” Eclair tilted her head.

“Eclair, this might sound weird but…How old am I?”

“huh? My, Your highness of course I know! We’ve known each other for far too long! You’re turning fifteen this year, right?” Eclair said with all smiles.

It would be important to note that, contrary to Eclair’s name she wasn’t a sweet and warming looking girl, she was beautiful but her eyes, just like Liliana’s, looked mean and ferocious,  her voice sounded  mature and collected (not that she was) and in the future just her laugh would make a weak minded person cry...
Saying that, she was not being mean or having any double meaning on her answers or anything, Eclair proudly answered the odd question without hesitation.

 You see, she genuinely respected her highness…almost too much.

That’s right, in the tea room sat two mean looking girls, from very high and noble families.
In the future of another world, they would be called the villainess and the villainess’ side kick. But at the moment, they were just a bratty pair of girls who had never been scolded for anything.

“That’s right! We’re going to the academy in a couple months, right!?” Liliana said as if she found some answers as to the time period.

“My, is that why her highness invited me today? Is something the matter with the academy?” Eclair asked.

To Liliana, it now made sense, at least Eclairs behavior, calling her in such a formal way, they had not yet gone to the Academy, it had been there where she gave Eclair permission to call her by name, a nickname rather.

“That’s right, Eclair, I…Yes, I wanted to talk about the academy…” It was a complete lie, but it wasn’t untrue, she honestly didn’t remember why she had called Rosetta in her previous life, but maybe it did had something to do with that.

“I heard that Lord Gawain is going to attend this year as well, wouldn’t it be wonderful if the two of you got closer?” Eclair seemed excited for the idea but was taken by surprise when Liliana dropped her cup, breaking it with a splash.
