"The Seventeenth of April, a day that I will forever cherish and yet I will always hold a certain amount of anger for the events that took place on what should have been the best day of our lives . Thanks to my older brother Mordred, that day was ruined. I nearly lost my beloved Ciel and my eldest son who was at that time only four months old."
"That's so sad, how could anyone do something like that to a baby?" Lizzy asked.
"Mordred is jealous of all that I have. When Ciel became pregnant with Evian, the position of future king was given to me. He thought that he should have the crown. This is why I hold mixed feelings for that day. Ciel and I were married and then I nearly lost my family." Sebastian explained sipping from his wine glass.
"I always meant to renew our vows and give Ciel the wedding he should have had. He refuses."
"Awe, it's really sweet that you want that for him."
"He is my world,how could I not want more for him?"
"At least I can understand why you're so sad now. That would be a darling anniversary gift. I'd love to see what it's like."
"You would certainly be invited Lady Elizabeth, you are our family."
"We have to get Ciel to agree, did you have anything planned?"
"certainly, I was also hoping to take him away for a few days, just the two of us."
"A honeymoon, oh how wonderful." Lizzy practically shrieked.
"Indeed." The demon took another drink.
"Oh I bet you're planning to go to France and see the beautiful sights right Sebastian?"
"Not France I'm afraid we have both lost our liking for that particular destination."
"Oh." The young girl became quiet.
"I was thinking perhaps Italy to see the waterways of Venice, or to a beautiful white sand beach where we could watch the waves crash against the shore. Take long walks under the clear, moonlit night sky, even still, watch the sunrise and set together."
"You're such a romantic Sebastian, are all demons like you?" Sebastian smiled faintly.
"I am one of a kind, a love such as the one I share with Ciel is nearly impossible to find. As with humans, not everyone of my kind knows how to romance their mate."
"He's very lucky then."
"Some have said so, I believe that I am the fortune one."
"I think you should ask him."
"I have, many times, I wanted to do it for our first anniversary but he said that we were already mates and there was no point. Lately he's seemed so unhappy and he won't even tell me why."
"Do you want me to try?"
"Lady Elizabeth, I appreciate your offer but I don't know if it will do any good."
"We won't know until we try."
"That's true." Sebastian said
"Who knows maybe he'll say yes this time."
"I hope so, I also hope that whatever it is that is causing him to feel like this, will soon pass.
"I'll see if I can get him to talk about it . Then we can go from there. Why does it scare you so much?"
"One of my greatest fears is that he will tell me that he is unhappy in our marriage and he wants to leave.I would of course let him go if that is what he needed to be happy. It isn't uncommon for those who marry young to regret it."
"He couldn't possibly, he loves you and the children."
"You don't have to be together in order to raise children. He would never abandon them, I'm certain of that. I did make him a mate at a young age, Before that, he was a mother. If I pushed him- if he somehow felt obligated to be with me, I-"
"Sebastian, I know my cousin. He loves you. You should know that it's not easy to push Ciel into something he doesn't want to do.. What made you think that?"
"Our deal was for his soul, i didn't take it, he could have agreed to be my mate out of guilt, or-"
"That's rubbish and somewhere in your mind you know it." Alois said, in his arms Lenora slept peacefully.
"I suppose you know what caused it then?"
"You'd be wrong. Maybe he's upset about what happened too."
"He could be Sebastian, Alois, will you help us figure it out?" Lizzy asked hopefully.
"I could try but I've been talking to him and he hasn't said anything about it. But if that was the case, i mean if he didn't love you, wouldn't you know the difference when he feeds you?"
"Not always, you can love someone without being in love with them."
"I guess we'll have to find out. I'm sure it's nothing like that, and maybe you'll get to have your second wedding, I'll help you and -"
"This information is a secret. If you say one word to Ciel, you will find yourself banished from this castle for the rest of eternity do you understand Alois?" Sebastian said sternly noticing the look on his cousin's face.
"I understand, That might be difficult for you though, You know Ciel and I have been best friends for a long time now. He wouldn't let you banish me."
"what makes you think that regardless of what Ciel wants i will not do it?"
"Because you hate it when he won't talk to you, imagine an eternity of that. Not only would you be taking away a friend, but I'm a member of your guard, i help protect your family, he won't go for that."
"you are very arrogant and I will not-"
"I have no idea what you're shouting about in here but you're scaring the children. I suggest you stop before I get angry." Ciel warned but left no time for anyone to speak before he returned to his little ones.
Sebastian sighed and put his head in his hands.
"I'm losing him."
"No you're not, we're going to fix this and when we do,you're going to have the wedding you wanted to give him." Lizzy vowed, she had no idea how to pull it off but she was determined to reach her goal.
A/N I continue to be amazed that i have people asking for more of these stories, I never expected for one of my stories to be liked so much that it would become all this. I'm honored by the requests i get for more stories of our family. I can't thank you enough.
