His Butler, Important
After lunch, the master thanked me then went to his office, a little grouchily, with Sebastian. I took the dirty dishes and sent Bard, Finny and Mey-Rin back to work. All that was left was to take care of was Lady Elizabeth.
"Lady Elizabeth, is there something you'd like to do while we wait for the master?" I asked, bowing and she smiled, pondering it for a moment.
"Can I pick out your dress?" she asked me and my eyes widened.
"Uhh, well, you see-"
"I mean you are going to dance with Sebastian!"
"I know, but, well..." I took a deep breath. "Lady Elizabeth, we do not have the same style. Thank you for the offer but I am not a fan of pink."
"Aw, okay. Well, at least let me help you with your hair." I smiled and held out my hand.
"Yes, I would like that." she and I walked to my room and I sat at my vanity. Lady Elizabeth brushed my hair and pulled it into a high ponytail with a black ribbon. She took some silver glitter and sprinkled it on. I smiled as I looked at myself in the mirror.
"Thank you, Lady Elizabeth." I said "You did a wonderful job." she smiled at me and walked back downstairs to wait. Lady Elizabeth dressed everyone again and was about to help Mey-Rin when the master walked in, wearing a dark blue suit with a top hat. Lady Elizabeth grabbed the master's hand and spun him around like mad, telling him how cute he was. She stopped and her eyes narrowed when she saw the master wearing his usual ring.
"Where is the ring that came with the outfit, Ciel?" She asked in a dark tone and he snatched his hand away.
"This ring is fine, Elizabeth." he said and she pouted. Then oddly enough, she smiled. I didn't know why until she took the master's ring and sang "Now it's mine~!" I bit my lips, getting worried. That's the master's most valuable possession. Father left it for him...
"GIVE IT BACK!" I flinched just like everyone else at the master's shout. Lady Elizabeth began to tear up but I could tell she was also angry.
"Why are you angry with me?" she asked "I just wanted to make you happy. his ring..." my eyes widened as she lifted her arm up. "I HATE IT!"
"No!" I breathed as she slammed the ring on the ground and it shattered. The master was angry, no furious. He raised his hand up and Lady Elizabeth coward in fear. The master swung his hand down and would've done something he regretted, if Sebastian hadn't cause his arm. Master looked behind him, at Sebastian and Sebastian handed him his cane.
"Young master, you've forgotten your long awaited cane." he said and the master took deep breathes. Sebastian bowed slightly to Lady Elizabeth, her tears pouring,
"My deepest apologies, Miss Elizabeth. That ring is very important to our master. It's been passed down through the Phantomhive family for generations. There was only one in the world."
"Eh?!" Lady Elizabeth exclaimed, "That sort of...important ring...I...Ciel...I" before she could finish, Ciel had taken the ring and threw it out the window. Everyone stood in shock as Lady Elizabeth raced to the window, asking Ciel for his reason.
"I don't care...about that old thing." he said, "It's just an old ring. This ring is proof that...the head of the Phantomhive house is "Ciel Phantomhive."" We were shocked. I was shocked. I couldn't believe he did that.
"What's with that face?" Ciel asked Elizabeth, while he took a napkin from his coat and wiped her tears.
"But...but!" Elizabeth cried
"It's a terrible face. I wouldn't want to invite a lady with a face like that to a dance, would I?" he held out his hand and smiled. "Let us forget the bad things and dance the night away with evening party etiquette, shall we? Milady?"
"...Yes." Lady Elizabeth smiled and she and the master danced. As I watched them, I smiled and listened to the music. So proud for a 12 year old, my master.
"Ai," I turned around and faced the butler who had his hand held out, bowing. "I believe you agreed to be my partner, yes?"
"I guess..." I said and I placed my hand in his. He led me to the dance floor and put his hand on my waist, while I put mine on his shoulder. We danced along with the master and I hate to admit, I actually enjoyed it. Sebastian smiled down at me and he spun me around. I ended with my back against his chest and he smirked, making me blush.
"You're a wonderful, Ai." he said and I bit my lip, a habit when I am nervous.
"Thank you." I whispered and he chuckled, spinning me around again so my chest was against his. I blushed more and looked down, cowering into my hair.
"What's wrong, Ai?"
"Nothing."
"Why hide then?" I didn't answer so he chuckled again, leaning so his lips were by my ear. "Nervous?" he breathed
"N-no.."
"Then why are you blushing?"
"Just..."
"Hm?" I shook my head and looked up at him.
"You just do this to me. Don't ask me why." he smiled and nodded, spinning me in a full circle. a
