"Mother?!" You asked, your eyes wide as you felt Ciel's arm around your waist loosely.
"Oh, my darling! You look so pretty...what happened?" Your mother asked, causing you to watch Ciel's reaction.
"She's always pretty." Ciel corrected, giving your cheek a light peck.
"No...she hasn't always been pretty, though you wouldn't know, would you, Lord Phantomhive?" She asked, causing Ciel's jaw to harden.
"Are you saying that I don't know my own love?" Ciel asked, his voice hardened.
"Ciel..." You said with tears in your eyes as you wrapped an arm around him to soothe his anger.
The door opened to reveal Sebastian.
"Is there a problem, Young Master? Young Mistress?" Sebastian asks as he always does.
"Young Mistress? Whose Young Mistress?" Your mother asks, her arms crossed over her chest.
"Why, (Y/N) is, of course." Ciel replied, his bored tone showing through but a faint smirk on his lips.
You blushed somewhat, batting your eyelashes at Ciel.
"Since when is she Young Mistress?" Your Mother screeched.
"Since the Young Master fell in love with Young Mistress (Y/N)." Sebastian chuckled as he says this, causing both you and Ciel to blush.
"In love? (Y/N), sweetheart, since when are you in love?" Your mother asked, causing your eyes to widen.
"I'm in love with Ciel Phantomhive, Mother!" You exclaimed finally, covering your mouth from shock when you finally met Ciel's eyes.
"Sebastian, please show Miss (L/N) to her room. I'd like to speak with (Y/N) alone." Ciel said calmly as Sebastian walked your mother out.
"Ciel..." You said once the door shut before he touched a finger to your lips.
Ciel's mouth gently touched your own, causing you to smile into the kiss...before the door opened.
Ciel's betrothed, Elizabeth, stood in the doorway, frozen in shock.
Yourself and Ciel pulled away quickly, your eyes wide.
"C-Ciel? What's going on?" Elizabeth asked, stepping forward.
"Elizabeth, this is...(Y/N). The love of my life." Ciel explained softly, causing you to smile at him.
"How?!" Elizabeth screamed, losing her composure for just a moment.
"Excuse me?" Ciel asks the girl, stepping protectively in front of you.
"How could you love her and not me?! I could help you keep your title...she would only taint it with lies!" Elizabeth roared, her annoyingly squeaky voice permeating the air.
Your eyes looked to the ground, whilst tears ran down your (s/c) face.
"(Y/N), whatever is the matter?" Ciel asked gently, taking your hands in his own.
"Is it true, Ciel? Would I just mess up your title? Tell me now, is Elizabeth right?" You asked with tears running down your face.
"Of course not, my darling. Elizabeth, that is enough. Stop this nonsense right now. I cannot marry a woman I don't love and who is a drama queen as big as you!" Ciel said, first to yourself and then to the blonde.
Both yourself and Elizabeth's eyes widened, tears still falling out of your own.
"Fine then, Ciel. Be that way. Marry the girl who can't do anything for your title, but don't come crying to me when it all comes crashing down around you." Elizabeth said bitterly, tears in her eyes as she ran from the room.
Sebastian decided to come into the room at that moment.
"My my, Young Master. Whatever have you done?" Sebastian asks with a teasing tone.
"Never mind that, Sebastian. Please do stop this teasing. Anyway, decline all plans for my wedding with Elizabeth. We will make new ones as soon as possible." Ciel said to the butler.
"Of course, sir." Sebastian said before leaving the room.
"New...Ciel? Was that what your preparations were earlier?" You asked, staring into his cornflower blue eye.
"I was hoping you wouldn't find out until we were both absolutely sure we wanted to go through with it." Ciel responded, taking your chin in his hands.
"I don't care! I love you, Ciel!" You exclaimed, wrapping him up into a hug.
He chuckled somewhat, his own arms wrapped around your waist to keep your weight up. "And I you." Ciel stated quietly, whispering into your hair.
Your face blazed red from the compliment, your arms still around him.
"Ciel, do you really mean it? You really...you truly love me?" You asked, your voice taking on a somewhat nervous, squeaky pitch.
"Of course I do. I did just tell Elizabeth that, did I not?" Ciel asks with a smirk.
You pull away from him, raising your hand up to touch his cheek.
Halfway through, Ciel grabbed your hand and kissed it multiple times, on the inside and out, including your wrist.
"Do you believe me now?" He asked, his voice softening as he started into your (e/c) eyes.
You couldn't say anything, your breath was caught as the door opened.
"Young Master, there seems to be a problem in our mist." Sebastian said, bowing his head apologetically.
"What kind of problem, Sebastian?" Ciel asks, gripping onto your hands.
"All of Lady (Y/N)'s belongs have disappeared. It seems to be that someone has broken into the Manor and taken her belongs, as if to erase her from existence completely." Sebastian explained, causing you to squeeze Ciel's hands.
"This was no accident. Sebastian, I want the Manor searched for Elizabeth. Once you find her, throw her out and do not let her step foot back here. I will also either have (Y/N)'s belongings returned, but if that isn't possible, I will buy her more." Ciel directed Sebastian, his one eye never leaving your own.
"As you wish sir." Sebastian answers, bowing apologetically again before leaving the room once more.
"Ciel, are you sure about this? If you protect me, she could be after you." You said with tears in your eyes.
"You have no reasons to worry about me. I love you and I swear if Elizabeth lays even a fingernail on you or breathes in your direction, there will be hell to pay." Ciel stated, taking your hands into his own.
"You would face her...for me?" You asked, a dashing of red painted on your face.
"I already did it once, I would happily do it again just the same." Ciel assured you, kissing the outline of your jaw.
And so ended surprises, the broken engagement, and Elizabeth's wrath.
