The carriage ride back to the London townhome was quiet, at least from me and Lane. Sebastian and Ciel were the only ones talking. As we pulled into the drive, Ciel's eye landing on me before switching over to Lane. Ciel starts talking to us as we exit the carriage, throwing our bags on our backs.
"You will stay here until we return for you. Do not go out in public without me or Sebastian here to escort you. Do you understand?"
Lane nods his head and I just hum in response. This is Victorian London and I sure as hell will be taking a tour around it. I just need proper clothing. I follow behind Ciel and Sebastian, with Lane at my side, as we walk into the townhome. Holy crap balls.
I take back what I said about excitement for meeting the Indian Prince. This purple-haired man ran out and tackled the boy in a hug. Sebastian ignored this, placing his hands together and saying 'Namaste'. Agni does the same gesture with a smile.
Prince Soma pouts as Ciel quickly pulls away and walks past him. Said Prince calls out Ciels sour look on his face to which Ciel turns, yelling at him to shut up. I hold my hand in front of my mouth to try to cover the giggles that are threatening to come out, but one look at Ciels face, and at Soma's pouty one, I burst out laughing. Which turns all the attention to me. Once I calm down from laughing, I look around at everyone with a smile and a small wave.
"Who is this lovely lady and the male behind her?" Prince Soma says, looking me over.
Ciel sighs loudly. "They are guests of mine. They will be staying here for a short time while I take care of business."
I roll my eyes and hold out my hand to Prince Soma, to shake. "I am Chelsea, and this is my friend Lane. It is very nice to meet you."
To my surprise, Prince Soma takes my hand, bending over and giving it a kiss. "Very nice to meet you as well. I look forward to getting to know you."
I smile with a blush before I feel myself being pulled along. Lane is on one side and Ciel had grabbed my other arm and is pulling me up the stairs. He pulls us into his room, Sebastian shutting the door behind us and Ciel throws off his coat, and it lands on the bed. He huffs before speaking "What I am saying is, why did it end up that I was signed up for the circus?"
I roll my eyes as he sits on the bed, next to his coat and he starts pulling at his tie. Lane moves to sit on a chair in the room and I sit on the armrest, leaning slightly against Lane as Sebastian talks.
"You were not signed up for the circus, you were signed up for the entrance test," Sebastian says plainly.
Ciel's eye narrows on Sebastian. "Just you infiltrating is enough, isn't it? Living in a tent. What a joke."
I see Lane roll his eyes, looking at me. I shake my head with a smile as Sebastian continues. "Would that really be alright? Me living to my own free will, rather than your orders?"
Ciel sighs, leaning his elbow on his knee and his head on his hand. "I guess you are right." Sebastian smiles at this before removing Ciel's shoes. "But you need to be able to preform when your in the circus right? I cant do that sort of thing."
"How true," Sebastian says standing up with a smile on his face. The demon moves to the dresser and pulls out some night clothes for Ciel. "Well, as much as you can, please do your best on the entrance test. As your butler, I will be rooting for you from the bottom of my heart." Sebastian turns and gives a smile. Is not slightly and turn it into a cough when they both look at me.
Ciel looks me over and sighs, leaning forward to the floor. "It can't be helped. I'll do it."
I nod my head and stare at him for a little bit. He does still resemble a kid, but not as much as he should. He turns, looking at me and Lane.
"As for you two, you will stay here. You are not to go out on the town, you are not to involve yourself beyond what is necessary with Prince Soma."
I hear Lane agree behind me, yet my eyes narrow, looking at Ciel. He just stares back as if he was indifferent. Who does he think he is? I am a grown woman of almost 20… I guess. Again, not really sure how the whole birthday thing works. Anyways, after a few minutes of conversation, mostly Lane agreeing with what this little brat has to say, we are escorted to our separate rooms. Lanes first, mine last. Sebastian opens my door for me and gives me a smile.
"There are a few clothes in the closet that I believe might fit you, as well as night clothes for you. Let me know if you need anything, and when you do go exploring, please do be careful." He gives me a smile as I stare at him with a slight look of indifference. I nod my head after a minute and walk into the room, the sound of the door closing tells me I am alone. This will be interesting.
