Women has always been treated as fragile objects, replacements and most of all, weaklings.
"Okaa-san!"
A young girl in a tattered beautiful gown, cried in distressed as she was taken away from her mother.
It was supposed to be a happy birthday for me...
She was abused, tortured and experimented. She screamed all she can but no help did come.
Until, a syringe was struck to her. Did she stop.
It was a traumatic experience for a young girl like me.
Every night, it would come back and haunted.
She looked at herself in a pool of blood. And she was shocked to see a monster in the reflection.
She was no longer her beautiful self.
I thought it was the end for me.
Nobody could save me from this side.
Then her mind go blank, as white as sheet. Unknowingly, her fingers started to move on their own.
Creating circles, drawings of a forbidden occult summoning.
At least that's what I thought.
Words were spoken, and spells were casted.
Came a demon of serpent.
I had to do, what I had to do.
I want power...
I want strength...
I want control...
For My mother...
For My step-mother...
And
For My step-sister...
"If that is your wish."
For the people who disrespected us! I vowed to become an inspiration to women.
"I want you!"
"I want your power"
Blood were shed, uncontrollaby. Excruciating pain filled my left eyeball.
Once I reopened my eye...
Blood Red Faustian Contract is embedded on my left eye.
The bright sun rises up, shining around the palace-like mansion, along the area of clean grass, to the glitter reflecting of the waters from the fountain centring the terrain.
The Head Butler prepared a complete breakfast for her mistress, giving her the utmost hospitality that every lady needs.
As silent as he was, as to not distured her sleep, he entered her room,
From the left side of the room, a beautiful indigo master's bedroom, the right side of the bed is a large recatangle window, the right side of the bed is a small desk with three oval mirrors and from the right side of the room is full with cabinets and closet.
He was a bit suprised to see the lady has awoken. She stands infront of her large window, bare footed on the floor.
"My This is a very rare sight to see, Indeed." He whispered.
Then he make her favorite tea, as he was done making it, he went over to her side.
"It such a nice view up here" the Countess spoke softly.
The butler lose his smile, intently staring at his master.
"If only I could have a day without work, that would been nice" she continued.
"There is no time for dillydally, my lady, for now, you have to work" The Butler informed him.
He crouched his body slightly, matching her master's height, handing her tea.
"Today, I have prepared you favorite, Darjeeling Tea" The butler spoke firmly
The Countess take her tea, shaking it slightly before she took a sip. She sighed in the taste while closing her eyes.
As she took another sip, her off shoulder nightdress looses slightly, exposing her smooth neck among her pink hair.
The butler moved his radiant green eyes trailing down to her master's neck. His blood rushed up suddenly before he could clear his throat.
"Milady, I have prepared your bath" He told her in his husky deep voice.
"Is that so" The Lady said. She handed back the tea to his butler.
The Butler assist her in walking to her bath. On his other hand, holds the towel as he gave it to her.
"I will call on the maid" The Butler bowed down, he waited for the lady to enter the bathroom.
Before he leaves the room, then he proceeded to find the maid, first thought in his mind is, The Kitchen.
And so when he heard the pitter platter sound coming from the kitchen.
"I figured I found you here" The Butler guessed.
"Milady is in need of your assistance"
A blonde young woman in an early 20's is a maid who is in charge of the cooking, cleaning and sometimes household chores.
Her bright orange colored eyes stared daggers at the smiling butler.
Katana.
The maid and the butler relationship is... not so good. She respect him but she also dislikes him.
"Of course" she replied in her emotionless voice. Wiping her hands dry then she went upstairs.
After the maid had help the milady bath herself, then she helps her dries herself. And put on her robe.
"Is that everything Milady" She asked gently, brushing smoothly her milady's pink long hair.
"Yes, you may go now" The Milady ordered her
The Maid places the hairbrush back, and bowed to her. Along the way, the butler and the maid collided on the door.
The maid glared at the butler "Her Milady ask for you" she spits at him.
The Butler not affected by her frightening figure, rather he was amused by her, "Thank you for your kindness"
The maid walked out of the door grumpily, dark aura clouded her whole body.
The butler chuckled, he then closes the door,
"Did you anger her again, Ethel?"
Lady
"On the contrary ma'am, the feeling's mutual between us" the butler confessed.
He walked over to his mistress, as he take over brushing her straight hair.
"For Today you will have your paino lesson with Ms. Bourgois in the morning,
And you'll have the whole afternoon free."
"Right, Mrs. Buorgois" the milady giggled evilly, looking straight at his butler through the mirror.
The butler knew that look but he grinned, he kneeled on one knee with a hand on his chest and said "Yes, Her Mistress"
The Countess wores her signature look, consists of white undershirt, Long Indigo jacket, Black ribbon, black evening gloves and short pencil skirt.
Then the milady sits comfortably sits on the side of her bed, while the butler crouches down facing her barefooted legs.
He gently place her legs on top of his lap, for him to put on the marron see through stockings neatly.
"Your milady, Breakfast will be held outside in the pavilion. I have prepared your favorite." The butler stated.
After he put on her black heel boots, he grab her hand to lift her up.
"Ms. Buorgois, will not be coming until later?" Milady asked.
The butler answered "Precisely" Neatly placing a floral hat to her head, moving it a bit to look nice.
"Now the-" Milday was about to say something but his butler cut her off.
"But there is still something missing.." The butler said, not even intimitated by her mistress narrowed eyes at him.
He took out a peacock feathered fan out of his coat, then giving it to her milady.
"Your fan, milady" grinned widenly
She chuckled, she take the fan from him, and smiled.
"You always never forget, Ethel" she spoked with a seductive voice, grinning so madly
Ethel nodded. With a devilish grin, the same as his milady.
Outside the Rosseau Manor, a beautiful pond with fishes is situated the right side of the manor.
A beautiful pavilion, surrounded by green bushes, where Milady is taking her breakfast quietly, as she listened to the birds chirping around.
With her butler around, serving her favorite tea, Everything was perfect, until...
A loud crash noise was heard not too far from the pavilion. And then smoke come out from the bushes.
Milady dropped down her tea to the table, creating a loud clank that almost spilled the tea.
"What had he gotten into now!" Milady angerely said.
"Ethel, stay here" She ordered
"Yes, Her Mistress" He bows down slightly
She goes over to where the commotion is, and she met with Katana, her maid.
"Katana, What's going on?" She asked with a stern voice
The maid, shocked at her mistress voice, began to feel nervous.
The Countess had never seen Katana so nervous, she was always so blank and expressionless, now she's showing emotion?
She passed her, not even listening when her maid started to speak, then she saw in front of her.
All of her precious roses are all dried up, the supposed red color was is now brown. She gently carresses the petals.
"Mistress! I'm terribly sorry, I have forgotten to water the roses, I'm terribly sorry." An tall old man at the age of 70, tried to apologize with all his might.
He know not mess with her mistress. But he never intented to forgot it.
"You know how important this to me, and you dare apologize to me" she said in a quiet and scary voice.
Her right hand clenches tightly, then she strongly slapped the old man's cheek with the back of her hand.
The old man stumbles, and dropped into his knees. He touch his cheek and was horifired to see blood.
Her mistresse's bronze ring on her right hand, ring finger created that gash on his cheek.
"Now look at this, you even dirtied my ring" showing her hand covered mostly in her ring finger. An heirloom bronze ring that been passed on by her family.
"I'm...sorry" the old man apologized once more, this time he was more sincere.
Her maid, Katana, she quickly take out a napkin and went to her. But her Ethel was already at Her mistress's side.
"Katana, Escort him outside" The butler ordered Katana.
Katana groaned, but nonetheless, abide to his orders. She help the poor helpless old man and went to the kitchen, to aid him.
Ethel was supposed to hand her out a napkin but her milady stop her.
She forcely take out her ring that is covered entirely with blood.
Her butler was confused, at her milady's action.
She hand it to her butler and ordered "Clean it out first"
She let the ring fall onto his butler's palm.
"Yes, Her Mistress"
As soon as the butler spoke, a gush of wind came to her. Her butler was no longer by her side.
Sigh.
Then the milady, went inside to her manor and washed her hands.
Ms. Bourgios, is the youngest female pianist in the whole of England. Although she had not known everything yet, there is a reason for why milady chose her.
The Milady is currently playing a song, while Ms. Bourgois watched her.
She had changed her clothes awhile ago, instead of a dress, she wears a men's dress. Her hair is tied in a bun hiding behind her brown hat.
Making her more like a young boy rather than a young girl.
Ms. Bourgois wanted to ask her about her weird clothing for she have seen nobles wearing decent gowns and dresses, but she never mind it.
As the milady hits the final note, she had finish her play.
"Magnifique darling" giving her a short applaude "now this time, just follow my lead, mistress" Ms. Buorgois requested.
The countess placed her fingers to the piano, as Ms. Bourgois started to play, milady follows also.
They were creating the perfect harmony, it was a beautiful sound.
Ms. Bourgois was so into it, her eyes closes in satisfaction.
The countess saw her face, and the she looked at her hands. Then she had devilish look on her face.
She slowly place her hand on top of Ms. Bourgois's hands, which makes the tutor stops playing and she opens her eyes.
"Do you ever wonder why I've dressed like this?" Milady spoke with a deep male voice.
Ms. Bourgois was quite shocked, but a little confused so she answered "No"
The Countess suddenly stood up and went behind her tutor.
Then She held Ms. Bourgois chin and lean down to her face very closely.
"I like a women with a very beautiful face" the milady confessed, giggling.
Ms. Bourgois face become pale, she was disgusted by this young lady.
Ethel had finished replanting her young mistress's favorite roses, cleaning the ring. And tending the other flowers, cleaning the pavili9lon and done.
As he went to the entrance of the manor and saw Ms. Bourgois hurrying to get inside the carriage.
It soon took of within a second, it was already far from the manor.
The butler chuckled, wondering what did the mistress do to her 15th tutor.
Meanwhile, milady is quite irritated, with her back and shpulders leaned against the piano keys.
It wasn't the first time this has happened.
Then out of knowhere her left wrist started to throb, she tried to massage it but the pain is still there.
Her newly cleaned bronze ring sparkles as the light shines through. She gazes at her ring with a deep thought.
Memories of her past flashes in her mind... her mother... her sister... her father... the fire...
"Milady?"
She snapped out her thoughts and came back to reality. Gasping her breath, her eyes widening in shock.
"Shall we be going?" Her butler asked with a worried look on his face
"A-a yes, of course." Milady stuttered still manges to speak with a baritone voice.
Its 5:30 p.m.
The sun descend from the sky, creating a beautiful ray colors of yellow, orange, red and violet.
Meanwhile, The Countess had work hard every hour, signing every sheets, her wrist started throb every second she write.
Her brain cannot take the writing anymore, all the while staring at the letters and word for many hours. Her eyes started to hurt also.
When the butler opened slightly ajar, he could see her mistress massaging her eyes and her forehead.
He figured the milady could use little break perharps?
Then he closes the door quietly and began preparing a tray of, consisting of ceylon tea, and a small plate of fresh baquettes.
After that he entered her milady's room, the tray was held both in his hands and a black folder stuck between his shoulder and chest side.
She was ordered by the milady to research on the informatiom about the Queen's Watchdog, Ciel Phantomhive.
"Young master, after a long hour of working, you deserve a cup of tea and newly baked baguettes" The Butler suggested it.
"Thanks Ethel, but I'm not in the mood to eat anything" the mistress tiredly said
"Oh, but you have your baguettes, milady. Its your favorite" the butler teasingly said.
The Countess managed to glare at his butler, her appetite seems to be gone in the last 20 minutes.
"This is all I could manage to for the information of the Phantomhive Earldom" The butler gave the black folder to his milady.
She had been waiting to get her hands of the information.
She turned the page, and read the information loudly
"13 years of age, he's younger that I thought it could be.
Owner of the Funtom Corporation, such a succesful business he had."
"I've also obtained information about his past" The butler added
So Milady turned the page 2, and read aloud most of it.
"On the ninth of his tenth birthday... The manor was set on fire...after a month of excruciating torture and rape...
We're the same
He returns to the Phantomhive household with an enigmatic black-clad butler with incredible supernatural abilities..."
"Like you" Milady looked at his butler in the eyes.
He nodded along
"He had solved many crimes plaguing the london..." she finishes and closed the folder.
She thought for a second before she speak in a deep voice
"Perharps we might need more information... including his servants" her eyes darken
"I thought you might say that" the butler said, with a anotherblack holder held in his hand, handing it to her.
The Countess tsked, she angerly take the black folder
"Why didn't you just tell me you already had it" she demand him.
The butler just grinned.
She sighed in exasperation, But before she could read what's inside, she let out a short yawn, rubbing her eyes.
"Mistress Its time for your bed" The butler reminded her
"I guess... I could continue this tomorrow" Her milady spoke with a soft voice.
After the Countess shower herself, she changed into her white frlliy nightgown.
She climb into the bed, then layed down into the soft pillow, closing her eyes and released a comfortable sigh.
The butler placed the Fleur Heirloom ring inside of an ancient small box.
Then he pulled the bedsheet stopping below the neck. After that he held the large candlesticks which had three candles lit up the room.
The Countess opened her eyes, and stared intently at the butler's deep blue eyes.
"I will be going, My Mistress. Sweet Dreams" The Butler bid goodnight to her, before leaving the room.
He was about to turn the knob, when he was stopped by a sound of needing.
"Ethel?"
The butler secretly grinned.
"Yes, Young Mistress?" He asked
"Uhm... Can you guard my room." She requested.
The butler was shocked at first but then he smiled
"Milady, This manor is impossible for trespassers or bad people to come in. You know that right"
Even from the darkness, he could see her milady grumbled
"Or You just want me by your side."
"JUST DO What I said" she yelled at the first words but then soften the rest.
Silence surround the room for long.
"Yes" Ethel whispered.
He goes around over to the large window, placing the candlelights over to the desk. Then he slowly sit beside her sleeping form, back facing him.
His eyes wander around until he saw the full moon shining over through the window.
Hour passed, Ethel leave the room. He stands still at the door for a minute...
His smile turned upside down, and he blows all the candles, darkness filled the hallways.
And then...
The sound of heels clanking to the floor was heard.
Dark Aura envelop the whole entire body of that person. It wore entire black torned up dress.
And from the darkness, a white fanged teeth smiled, and a pair of pink glowing eyes.
"I cannot bare to wait, I wanted to eat her sssssssssssoul" Ethel declared.
A long snake like tongue came out from his mouth.
Ssssssssssssssssssss
The demon laughed evilly and laughed louder, it echoes through the hallways.
And that night, the butler has shown his true colors, his true form.
