Chapter 7:
Ciel's P.O.V.
Time surely pass fast. I have never seen Aria for a month and I am still in depression. I feel like I lost all the things. I am now walking around the busy streets of London with my servants. I am sure they are pleased that I am bringing them here.
While I am walking, I suddenly heard Mey- rin's girly squeal. I look irritate to her and my eyes grow wider.
"Lady Aria looks like a princess." Mey- rin said
"Yes, she looks like one. Lord Arthur looks like a real prince." Finny said
"You two quiet!" Bard hissed at them
Finny and Mey- rin look at me and their faces turn into a sad one. I don't need their sympathy. My gaze is still locked on Aria and indeed she looks like a real princess. It seems that Arthur is making her a real one. She is smiling happily to Arthur and it seems she doesn't notice my presence here. I walk away so that I can't see how much affectionate Aria is to Arthur. In fact I am not on the right to place to feel jealousy towards Arthur.
When we are done, I decided to go back to the manor. I don't want to walk around in the same place with them. As we get there, I go to the study and I saw Prince Soma and Agni inside. Another cheerful thing to deal again.
"Ciel!" Prince Soma said
"What?" I asked
"Are you not happy to see me?" he asked
"What do you like?" I asked
"Lizzy told me about a lady named Aria. I want to meet her." Soma asked
My heart beats faster as I heard the name. I try to hide it by acting cold to Soma so that he will never suspect.
"Where is she Ciel?" Soma asked
"She's on her own manor." I replied
"Can't we go there?" Soma asked
"We can't. She is living in Brighton's castle so it is hard for us to meet her." I said
"But Lizzy told me you are friends." Soma said
"We are only acquainted." I said
"Liar Ciel!" Soma yelled and then pout
"I'm telling the truth." I replied
"Don't lie to me Ciel. Liars go to hell." Soma said
Soma is another narrow- head human. I indeed will go to hell after my contract to Sebastian. That is a fact to admit.
"I am only acquainted to her but I consider her family as close friends." I replied
"What is her name again?" Soma asked
"Aria Francesca Sophia Hofmann." I replied
"She had a cute name." Soma said
"Can you get out now? I am busy." I said
Agni and Soma go out and I am alone again. I sighed in defeat. Forgetting Aria is the hardest thing to do compare to the dangerous jobs that the queen wants me to do. I pick a book to my shelf and a book drops revealing a ribbon inside. I can say that the ribbon is Aria's. Maybe she wasn't able to finish the book so she marks it with a ribbon. I pick up the ribbon and put it in my pocket. I think it is now harder for me to do it since I am keeping a thing that reminds me of her.
"I'm sorry, but I can't forget you easily." I whispered to myself
Arthur's P.O.V.
Since the day I come back, my heart is full of happiness. I have Aria on my side but she's not acting normal. Something is bothering her. Is Earl Phantomhive the reason?
When I meet Earl Phantomhive, I feel competence to him. And his butler, it's a demon same like Richard. For me, Ciel is not a good company for my little princess though grandfather likes him. I actually don't like that I have a competition for Aria's heart. She is mine and that thing will never change. I am ready to kill Ciel Phantomhive if needed but if I kill him, Aria will be sad and I don't want that to happen.
"My lord, it seems that you have a competition for the young lady's heart." Richard asked
"That will never happen. If I need to kill him, I'll do it." I said
"But Lady Aria will be sad if that happens." Richard said
"I know but I will make sure Aria will forget his very existence." I replied
"You're one hell of a selfish man, my lord. I never failed in choosing you." Richard replied
"Richard, please prepare me a carriage." I said
"May I know where are you going?" Richard asked
"I will just go to London to buy Aria a dog." I replied
"Yes my lord."
When the carriage is done, I was about to go inside the carriage when Aria came. Her eyes are pleading so I let her in.
"Where are we going?" she asked
"London." I replied
"What are we going to do there?" she asked
"I'll buy you something." I replied
"Really?" she asked
"Yes, anything for my princess." I replied
Yes, it's anything for my princess. I will be her faithful servant while she will be my queen. I will do anything she wants. Anything that can make her happy. Her happiness is the reason why I am here. I want to stay by her side forever that's why I form the contract. To protect her, to cherish her and to marry her, three valid reasons why I am doing this. If it is to kill someone who is on my way, I'll do it. If someone makes her cry, I'll punish them.
"Arthur, are you alright?" she asked
"Perfectly fine." I replied
While we are walking to London, I saw Ciel with his servants. His eyes are full of undying and unconditional love. I think Aria had captured his heart while I am gone. He even kisses her so that's unacceptable. He leaves immediately and same with us after I bought a puppy for Aria. Her smile is the most important thing. Whoever dares to take it away from her, will suffer to the greatest pain.
My possessiveness might sound greedy but mine is mine. So no one is allowed to take what is mine.
Thank you for reading everyone. Please review :)
