Omg guys :(

I'm really sorry for the sudden not updating or anything with all my stories. Writer's block hit me really hard, and that coupled along with stress and school really made me forget about .

Here is a shorter chapter, but don't expect regular updates, but I'll try my best to keep typing :(

Enjoy :) Part 5 is coming up!


Anais looked down at the overly-frilly dress she was wearing.

How in the world did she get into this situation?

With a slight sigh, Anais rubbed her forehead, ignoring the pleading urge to go home and stay there for the rest of the day.

"Anaaaaais!"

A loud and ear-piercing made her wince for a second, but a smile crossed her features.

Marchioness Midford had told Lizzy about her identity and sternly sworn her to secrecy...

Anais smiled as Lizzy flew into the room and let out a happy squeal.

"Aw, you look so cute, Anais!"

Anais let out an uneasy laugh as she surveyed herself in the mirror. She could not shake off the weird feeling.

She had not dressed like an actual girl for what seemed to be forever, and now, when she needed to, she could not feel more weird.

(Not to mention the corset. Gosh, the corset. Lizzy was too enthusiastic at times.)

Smiling for Lizzy's sake, she sighed inwardly at the mass of frills and lace she was currently donning.

Her dress was a black colour with dark green-coloured lace. It had long sleeves and ended around her ankle, and she wore black heels. On her head was a black hat adorned nicely with flowers, and her dark hair was neatly braided and fell on her left shoulder.

However, Anais smiled at Lizzy's compliment. Lizzy was wearing an adorable little pink dress with white frills and a pink bonnet.

Looking at the younger girl, Anais could not help but smile, despite the reasons she was dressing up in the first place.

On the other hand, when Anais thought of Lizzy's brother, Edward, all she felt was a massive headache.

Anais wondered if she had done something to offend Marchioness Midford.

But on the other hand, Anais wondered what was it that made her accept the offer.

There was a sudden poke on her cheek as she glanced down in mild surprise. Lizzy was looking at her with a slight pout to her cheeks.

"Why do you look so down, Anais? You're going to be engaged, smile for a bit!"

Anais sighed at Lizzy's happiness.

It was then Lizzy remembered that she had to give Ciel his 'cute' outfit for the party at his mansion later, and with an excited laugh she rushed out the door to find him.

Seating herself at a nearby chair, she sighed once again and wondered how she got into this predicament.

Was it not because of her telling Marchioness Midford the truth about herself?

How...

How did she get herself engaged to Edward Midford?!


Anais sighed. She knew it was a bad sign that she was getting used to acting like a boy when she was a lady. And it was good reason for her to panick when Marchioness Midford decided that she would be a good bride for her son.

Apparently, she had not told Edward about her cross-dressing as her brother, and tonight, she will be going by the story that 'Anais Kane has been feeling better lately, and decided that she will be able to attend her own engagement party. Anubis Kane would not be able to attend but he sends the couple their best regards.'

Anais secretly wondered if Ciel had been plotting this or something. What the public knew of Anais was that she was supposed to be sickly and lying at home sick. What they didn't know that it was her brother that was currently in hospital, unconscious.

Oh, the irony.

Briefly, Anais recalled Marchioness Midford's proposal after Anais told her of the truth.

...

Marchioness Midford frowned disapprovingly at Anubis Kane, now revealed as Anais Kane.

She disliked the fact that Anais had been deceiving many, however she could tell that it was the only option she had. As a lady would not be allowed to be the heir until adulthood, the girl probably had no choice in the matter, considering that there was always money-loving ruths who might claim to be a part of the Kane House just to earn some credibility. The girl had probably wanted to avoid that sort of situation so she took her matters in her own hands.

Anais had told her her plan: If Anubis wake up, be it before she was 18 or not, he would be the heir to the Kane House. However, if he was to pass away before she was 18, she would continue to pretend to be Anubis until she was 18, in which she would fake that as Anubis, she died, before taking over the position as heir.

However, as Marchioness Midford noted the grimness in which she said her plans, she could tell that the girl desperately wanted her brother to wake up. After all, she was forced to grow up and take her own responsibilities.

Marchioness Midford was a perceptive and fearsome women, and she immediately spotted a flaw in the girl's planning.

If she masqueraded as a man, she would not be able to find herself a husband. Most girls got engaged since young, and Anais was already 15 years old, her engagement with Ciel already having been broken off. It would be difficult for a girl her age to find a husband, should she not having gone through her public ball where she is presented to society. When she would be 18 in 2 years, and without a husband or fiance, she would be shamed by society.

And so, Marchioness Midford had thought up a solution. After all, she was a Phantomhive through blood, and Midford through marriage.

With a serious look on her face, she turned to the girl and told her of the implications, before proceeding to calmly propose her solution.

"I propose, that you are engaged to my son, Edward."


And with that, Anais found herself attending her engagement party as herself for once, to be held at Ciel's mansion as Marchioness Midford claimed that he should hold more social events.
