*~~Determine Lizzy~**
His blue eye widen in shock as he read the front page content of "The Times" newspaper. He grip tightly the newspaper and glares angrily at the paper, the editors had done very well on their job for humiliating and taint his family's name by this ridiculous article about him and Amelia.
The Sudden Confession of Lady Winchester to the Queen's Watchdog?
This article states about Amelia's romantic confession to him and speculation of others that if this is going to be affect his engagement to the Marquee's daughter; Elizabeth Midford.
Ciel had become so furious and angry at the same time. No one can't be blame on this scandal but there is a certain person that he will surely blame for all of this.
"Amelia…If it weren't for her stupidity, this wouldn't have happen." He bitterly muttered under his breath. He surely hated her for this scandal but he couldn't blame her for confessing her feelings for him on the crowded party. He knew that she is a type that can do actions without thinking.
He felt so angry and nervous. He was nervous on the wrath of his dearest aunt, the Marchioness herself. He knew that she's going to be angry about the issue about him and Amelia's relationship. He is already engaged to his dear cousin, Elizabeth Midford.
Speaking of Elizabeth, Ciel knows that his cousin will be so upset about this. He doesn't want to picture her sad and angry expression if she had just read the article in the newspaper. He knew how much Lizzy cherish him and adore him that he cannot showed to her because of his cold demeanor, it is his duty as her fiancé, to comfort her even though it is out of character to him because that his promise to her parents that he will take care of her and protect her .
Then, there is a knock coming outside his study. "Come in." he spoke calmly. The door open and revealed his faithful butler, Sebastian Michaelis.
The butler approaches him, "My lord. There is a letter came from the Midford mansion." Ciel tensed. Great... He is going to face the wrath of the great Marchioness herself. He took the letter from the butler and tore the seal on the white envelope and read the letter calmly.
"Sebastian. Prepare the carriage!" He ordered the dark butler.
Sebastian however, knew that there will be some interesting is going to happen and he will look forward to it, "Yes my lord. I will tell Bardory to get the carriage for you." He said with a smile on his demonic face.
Ciel sighed, "Alright. Leave." He said with an authority voice.
As the butler leaved, Ciel continues to read the newspaper with a frown on his lips.
Winchester Household
Amelia read the newspaper's main article with a smirk on her pink lips. It seems that the editor in chief just make a pretty good job on the article. She was currently having her breakfast on the dining room with her handsome guardian, Vladimir Gregoire (if that was his real name? :)
She giggles, "Who would have thought that they made this a huge headline. Vladimir. I mean…After I confessed to Ciel…this had been become the major issue around London." She replied with a dark smile on her lips. She is pretty amused that someone else creating this for her even though it was her plan to make another scandal on Ciel and Elizabeth's relationship.
Vladimir sips his tea, "I agree with you, Lady Amelia and it seems that it is according to your well-known plan." He smiles charmingly at her in which the girl ignores it. She stared at the young man with a frown on her lips, Ever since this man decided to become her guardian, he had been so annoying and it really irks her. He is always protective towards her even though she is a type that never relies on others.
But yet, she seems grateful that he came to her life. Ever since the death of her parents, Vladimir has been beside her and acts as a parent to her. If it weren't for Vladimir, she had never become the female head of the Winchester household and he teaches her everything he knew about paintings since he is a well known young painter around London and Paris and he helps her dealing with the adults in the noble society especially the directors of the London museum.
Her artistic works became popular and she was given the honor from her majesty herself, Queen Victoria to portray the royal queen herself, thus her family name became an élite family under her reign.
Even if she have almost everything that other people desires. She is still not content because of her unrequited love to Earl Ciel Phantomhive.
To her, Ciel Phantomhive is her world and if he is lost to her, her world will be crumbled into millions of pieces just like what happen to her parents. She lost them since she was 11 and she'll vow that she's going to find the bastard who killed her parents and she will make sure of it.
"Vladimir." She slowly muttered his name, the young man glance at her with a serious look; he knew what she is going to ask.
"If it's about the murderer of your parents, I will do anything with my power to find him." he said with an assuring voice. Amelia stared at him with her adorable big amethyst eyes in which he froze, "You promise…that you will find him and if you do…you're going to kill him for me." She ordered with a venom voice. The man chuckles and leaned on the girl's face, "I will…and I will surely…" his mint breath caused the girl to blushes slightly on his good-looking face, "…find him…for you…" he whispered to her as his lips was centimeter closer to hers.
The girl notices that Vladimir's large hand brushes her shoulders gently and with a quick jolt from her seat, she slapped him across his face. How dare he touch her like that!
Her amethyst eyes narrowed at him, "Did I ever told you that you will never touch me!" she growls angrily at the older young man. She forbids him to touch her unless if it's her order, but touching her skin like that without her permission is out on the line.
Vladimir rubbed his red cheek, he gets used to her slapping him when there's something that she disliked or perhaps upsets her.
"My apologies... I forgot. Lady Amelia." he said a deep tone on his manly voice. The girl calm down and quickly leave the young man with a frown pitched on her lips. "I don't want you to do that again. Understand?" she glance at him and shut the door quickly.
Meanwhile, the young man chuckles darkly with his eyes glows demonic red, she is a very interesting human girl. Even if her heart is tainted but her so soul is pure and bright. He doesn't understand why? But all he could understand is that, Amelia Winchester is a complex soul.
"I will not. Amelia." he chuckles darkly.
Midford estate
Ciel gulps, he is surely nervous. His aunt Francis just mailed him about Lizzy's never endless cry on her room when her stupid brother just shows to her the newspaper and she began to cry out loud. So he needs to see his dear fiancé to clarify the misunderstanding.
The butler glances at his master and snicker, "Relax. My lord, I don't think the Marchioness or Lady Elizabeth herself will strangle you if they see your existence." He teased
Ciel shot him a glare, "Shut up you pompous bastard, I will fix this immediately and this will be over." He said with a cold voice.
As the doorman opened, Ciel greeted by his cousin, Edward Midford's death glare.
He saw that one coming and he knows it.
"Just what on the devil are you doing here, Ciel" His older cousin Edward gives him a cold dirty looks. He was really annoyed that his so-great-cousin Ciel Phantomhive just came here to their mansion and most of all; he is really pissed about a certain article.
Ciel ignored his older cousin, "Where is Elizabeth?" he asked nonchalantly. The older young man glared at him, "Lizzy is not in a mood to see you, Ciel. Would you please leave the mansion…now?" he ordered the boy.
Ciel grit his teeth, He twitches angrily "You…"
Then, Sebastian approached Elizabeth's brother, "Forgive me, Lord Midford but the young master insists on seeing Lady Elizabeth, will you please tell us where she is?" He asked with a smile at the young man.
Edward scoffed, "As if a mere butler like you will order me around" he glared at Sebastian. Ciel sighed and somehow annoyed of this cousin of his.
Could this day get any worse?
"Ciel?" a small feminine voice spoke behind the three males above the grand staircase. Ciel froze seeing his fiancé's melancholic expression towards him.
Edward startled, "Lizzy, What are you doing here? You suppose to be on your bed to have a rest." He said with a worried look on his dear sister.
Lizzy shook her head, "I'm fine. Brother." She then, noticed Ciel's presence and approached him. Sebastian and Edward noticed an intense atmosphere around the main hall of the mansion, mainly around Ciel and Elizabeth.
Edward stared at the young teenagers, during their breakfast together with his family including Lizzy, he accidentally mentions the article about a mysterious girl just confessed to his male cousin. That is somehow shocking and intriguing to him, but deep inside, he felt lighten and relived that maybe his cute little sister and his so-great-cousin-of-his will break off their engagement. But he knew how much his sister, Elizabeth cares so much for that cold and bratty Ciel Phantomhive, so he just wait and watched what's his sister's reaction.
Sebastian, however, found this encounter a bit amusing to him. He sensed how Lady Elizabeth is so upset deep inside her soul. Learning that your fiancé is been confessed by some other girl could be this so…hurtful on his point of view.
"What are you going to do now, Young Master?" he thought amusingly.
Ciel cleared his throat on Elizabeth's nonchalant expression. He had never seen that kind of expression from her for almost of their time spending together. Usually, Elizabeth approached him with her cheerful expression and tackles him with her death hug.
This is just awkward.
"Lizzy." He muttered his fiancé's name. The blonde girl bit her lip and clenched her fist, "Ciel…" she whispered his name; Edward flinched on his little sister's scary aura.
"This is not good." He thought.
On Elizabeth's perspective, that girl who claims as Ciel's childhood friend, she is serious on her feelings towards him but the rumors keep spreading and this might be affecting their engagement. Deep inside, she is so angry but she doesn't know who she's going to get angry at; To Ciel or to Amelia?
She remembers Madame Red's advice….
What girl's made of? Sugar and spice and everything nice, they're made out of this and that
A lady…should be super weak and cute in front of her lord. It's the most important thing to be innocent, naïve girl.
She cleared her throat.
It's your job to smile and be surrounded by nice things, just like in the nursery rhymes.
But it doesn't change the reality that she is not that kind of girl. She was born as a swordsman and vowed to follow her mother's footsteps and to protect Ciel.
Should she pretend that there is nothing happen and return to her world of happiness and naïvety? But seeing Ciel and Amelia Winchester together makes her whole world crashes, No. She will not let any other girls steal her fiancé! Including that mean girl who is Ciel's friend from the past.
That's right. No one will take Ciel away from her!
"Ciel…I…will not give up on you!" she confessed. Ciel's eyes widen in shock and blushes at the same time. Edward jaw dropped and Sebastian smiles widely.
"Eh?" Ciel exclaimed, He never see that one coming. He thought that Lizzy is going to cry and angry at him but what is he see is a different and a determined…Lizzy.
She grabbed his hand, "No matter what will happen Ciel! I'm going to stay with you because that is my duty as your fiancé." She grinned at him.
Ciel surprise and just nodded at her, but deep inside he felt so very happy that Lizzy still believes in him and how she is faithful to him.
"Lizzy…I thought that you're going to angry at me?" he told the blonde girl.
Lizzy giggles, "No silly, that girl…" she mentions Amelia, "She is just confessing to you so there is no problem with that "she smiles at him, but deep inside it felt so painful in her chest.
Ciel relieved, he finally gets in peace about the issue, just then, Edward approached him with a frown pitch on his lips.
"Listen Ciel, If you ever hurt my sister, I swear in the name of her Majesty that I will ripped you apart, got it?" he scolded the boy. He felt defeated, but for the sake of his sister, he must accept Ciel as her fiancé even if he hates him.
He told the three that he had other business to do.
Sebastian approached Lady Elizabeth and his young master, "Pardon for the interruption, my lady. But the young master is here to ask you about something." He smirked at his young master.
Ciel realized what his butler said. He focus his attention to his dear fiancée with a red face, "Lizzy…will you…. come with me…. to the park?" he asked shyly. This is out of character of him but who cares? It's for his fiancé after all.
Then, the blonde girl tackles him and rubbed his cheek, "Yes, of course! Ciel! Thank you!" She beamed. Finally, Ciel offered her to spend time with him.
This is really makes her happy.
Behind the young couple, Sebastian snickered at his young master's plea to release him from Elizabeth's death hug.
Humans are really so interesting….
