Queen Elizabeta, Adviser Eduard von Bock, Ludwig, Gilbert, Lovino, Antonio, and Feliciano sat at the table with a few other contributors to the arts. A young blond man, Felix Lukasiewicz, was one of the few who sat at the artists' table. Their insane neighbor, Arthur Kirkland, and a young noble named Matthias Køhler also sat at the table, all of them sitting in an awkward silence as they sipped wine. Arthur shot Feliciano a few glances, wondering why the usually hyper man was being oddly quiet. Ludwig and Gilbert also seemed a bit worried, but Antonio and Lovino seemed relaxed and not worried.
"What will you be serving tonight, Feli?" The queen asked, comfortable enough to use the amber haired boy's nick name. Feliciano gave a sad look, remembering it was Alfred who was cooking; and not Lars.
"I don't know, my new cook is cooking for us," Feliciano said, gulping down the wine as fast as he could. He was told by Alfred to not let Arthur know he worked for them, scared the large eye browned man would harass his wonderful employers.
"And what happened to your old chef?" Elizabeta asked, curious on what happened to the young man. Feliciano did not know how to answer her, not sure if Arthur knew that Belle left with Lars. Feliciano eyes Arthur then his brother, not feeling comfortable with the situation.
The large door dinning room door was pushed open to reveal Alfred in a flour covered apron and tomato sauce dripping from his hair. Arthur gave the flour covered maid an odd look, thinking those sapphire blue eyes looked so familiar.
"D-dinner is ready, sorry for the long wait," Alfred said, the heat of the kitchen left a cute pink blush across Alfred. Feliciano smiled ear to ear, glad to know the meal was ready to satisfy their hunger and hopefully kill the awkwardness. Alfred scurried back inside of the kitchen and came out with a cart with plates pre-made for the guest. Everyone watched as the clumsy maid served them their meals, almost tripping a few times. The queen gave the boy an amused look, finding the boy's clumsiness to be funny and entertaining.
"Thank you, dear," the queen said to Alfred, smiling sweetly as the boy placed her plate in front of her. After Alfred placed the plates he made his way to leave, but was given a glare by Ludwig to make him stay by the door incase of emergencies. Alfred did as his boss gestured and he watched as the rich people ate his food, shocked that none of them making a sounds as they ate.
Alfred walked by and placed wine glasses for each person, coming back to pour a rich red wine in each glass for each guest. Feliciano, Antonio, Matthias, and Lovino were happy to have been served a simple, but their favorite, dish. Alfred threw together a simple pasta dish with tomato sauce and cheese. Ludwig and Eduard were quiet, not protesting or arguing against the meal. The Queen and Arthur both poked their food for awhile before eating everything on their plate, which brought a sweet and bitter smile to his face.
Gilbert looked over at Alfred, who was smiling at he looked at the eating people. The albino's staring seemed to draw the attention of the queen, who looked at the happy maid. Elizabeta gave a soft smile, getting an idea brewing in her head. Eduard looked at his queen and saw the twisted smile on her beautiful face, knowing she was going to do something.
"Dear cousin, I am having a party for my son in ten days, and I would like it if your household to come," the queen said, sipping the rich red wine.
"I see, and is this another plot to get Roderich to find a bride?" Ludwig asked, raising a fork full of pasta to his mouth. Eduard gave a soft smirk, nodding from his correct suspicions.
"Yes, I have asked so many young ladies and young men, but he is too stubborn!" Elizabeta complain as she drank the rest of her wine. Arthur looked at the queen with a dull smile, which made Alfred shiver. Alfred walked over to Elizabeta and poured her more wine, only getting a nod and a soft thank you from the older queen.
"I would send my niece, but she has seemed to have run away," Arthur said, passing Ludwig a glare and getting one back from the pale blond man. Matthias was about to ask questions, but he remembered what Lars had told him one night.
"Too bad, but I am hoping you all could some. Mr. Kirkland, I assume you would like to come as well?" Elizabeta asked, getting a nod from the rapist. Everyone at the table looked to see Gilbert, who was usually loud and hyper, looking at the maid, who was looking out one of the windows with a calm and relaxed look. Alfred's blue eyes sparkled as he watched the soft wind rustle the leaves of the forest's trees,
"Alfred, can you please pour me some more wine?" Antonio asked, holding his glass out to the maid. Alfred's looked shot to Antonio and smiled happily. "Yes sir," Alfred chirped happily as he walked over to Antonio to pour the wine.
Arthur's eyes widened and shot over from a soft look to a hard glare, remembering the lovely name. "Alfred?" Arthur asked in a bitter voice. Feliciano and Lovino felt their blood freeze, seeing Arthur stand up and look at Alfred carefully.
"Do you know him, Herr Kirkland?" Ludwig asked, placing his drink down and looking at Arthur with a curious glare. Gilbert and Elizabeta could see the fear wash over Alfred; he made it obvious the way he froze and his eyes got wider. Antonio seemed blind to the situation, still holding his glass up and now waving around the empty cup.
"N-No, just an interesting name," Arthur lied, looking at Alfred with hungry and angry eyes. Feliciano passed his lover a worried look, not wanting to make Alfred feel uncomfortable anymore than he already was. Arthur sat down with a dark smirk and picked his wine glass up, raising it to his lips and sipping the red drink happily.
"It is, it is certainly one I have never heard before. Where did your parents come across such a name?" Eduard asked, sipping water instead of wine
Elizabeta finished up her food and wine, clapping her hands loudly together and looking over at her cousins; drawing their attention. "That was delicious, I assume you have an equally good of a dessert to serve as well, Alfred?" she asked with a sweet smile, making Alfred blush and unfreeze from Arthur's hungry look.
"Y-yes, mam'," Alfred stuttered as he retreated to the kitchen. Arthur stood up and wiped his mouth, keeping his sick smile on his face. The head of the house, Ludwig, raised his eyebrow and looked at the butter blond with a curious look.
"Mr. Ludwig, do you mind if I use your loo?" Arthur asked, keeping his smile plastered on his face like a sick mask for a play. Ludwig nodded and waved Arthur off, knowing the man knew where and how to get to his restroom. "Thank you," Arthur said as he left the room.
Feliciano turned to his husband with a glare, same with Lovino to Antonio. Ludwig and Antonio were both clueless to the situation and both raised their eyebrows at their beloved. Elizabeta did not bother to get involved in their personal issues, though she was curious about the maid's sudden reaction.
-Line Break-
Alfred was pinned to the counter of the kitchen, his body being held by Arthur and his mouth being covered by Arthur's gloved hand. Arthur was whispering horrible things in his ear, telling Alfred how he was going to get revenge and force Alfred to become his slave.
"And don't you dare plan on going to the Queen's ball. I will come during the night and you will come home with me, or else I will kill your family, Bonnefoy," Arthur threatened, licking his lips as he watched Alfred squirm under his body. "It was your mistake to tell me your family name, now I can find them and slaughter them," Arthur chuckled evilly.
"You will behave and when I come to get you, I expect you to be no less then willing," Arthur said moving his hand and replacing it with his lips, forcefully entering Alfred's warm mouth and kissing the young maid. Alfred was shaking, scared that the man was going to finish what he started that horrible night which seemed like yesterday.
Suddenly Arthur pulled away and smiled at Alfred, one that reminded Alfred of the sick smile of the demon who followed him. "I must go now, I will come in ten days and you will be waiting for me," Arthur said as he let go of Alfred and turned to leave, joining the other aristocrats in their conversations.
Alfred began shaking violently, fear and confusion kept rushing through his body like the blood through his veins. Alfred walked over to where he had the pudding stored, pouring them into small glass bowls. Alfred grabbed nine small silver spoons for them to eat the pudding with, placing them on a tray with the bowls of pudding. Alfred picked up the pudding and walked back to the dinning room, looking at the ground so he did not have to make eye contact with Arthur.
The queen smiled as Alfred began to place the off-white pudding in front of everyone; though it was obvious he tried to avoid Arthur. Feliciano was the first to start to eat, and he ate the whole bowl in record time. Feliciano turned his head to the door, which is where Alfred would normal stand while they were eating.
"Vee~ that tasted nice~" Feliciano said, but saw Alfred was not standing there. The people in the room, besides the queen, looked around the room for the messy maid. Sadly no one saw him, but the queen had a nice and large smirk on her pink lips.
"He left, leave him be. Eduard will clean up after are done, right?" she asked her adviser, who looked at her and sighed. It was not a question or even an option; he had to do what the queen requested. "Yes, your majesty," Eduard said with a smile, the corner of his mouth began to twitch.
"Now, Lovino, tell me more about this painting-" Queen Elizabeta said, taking Lovino from his argument with Antonio. Lovino nodded and let go of Antonio's neck, which was a relief to the tan soldier.
-Line Break-
Alfred ran past the garden and jumped the white fence, his legs pushing him towards the forest. The sun set was among him, slowly the lands grew darker and darker; but this did not stop Alfred from going to the edge of the forest. He had ran out so fast that it started to cramp his muscles up, since he did not need them for such a burst of energy and movement. Alfred fell to his knees in front of the edge, looking down at the night covered grass below him.
"I-…Demon, are you there?" Alfred called into the dark forest, wanting the beast to come to him. Alfred sat there, hearing nothing but the leafs beings rustled by the cooling winds. Alfred sighed and sat there for five minutes, getting no response from Ivan.
Alfred stood up and turned to leave; but was met face to face with an enraged Ivan, his eyes were shining even more and his fangs were easily seen in the fading sun. Alfred said nothing, looking at the demon just stood in front of him. Ivan was breathing deeply, his large chest rising and when he exhaled it released a horrible low growl. Nothing was said between the two; they just looked at each other and waited for the other to make the wrong movements.
"Demon…" Alfred said, forgetting what the demon's name was. Ivan growled lowly as he glared at Alfred, making the mortal boy shake in his shoes.
"Call me Ivan, not demon," Ivan ordered before he took a few steps closer to Alfred, extending his arms for Alfred. The scared mortal took a few steps backwards, placing himself in the dark forest. Ivan smirked and walked closer, watching Alfred back up as well. Alfred back up into a large tree, which made him scream in shock and fear. Ivan took that time to speed up and pin his beloved human to the tree.
"Why…why did you not come to me when he touched you?" Ivan asked his cold breath against Alfred's warm ears.
"I didn't need you, I still don't need you!" Alfred spat back, trying to seem brave as Ivan glared at him. Ivan sighed and pressed him body again Alfred's, their clothed chest touching.
"Then why come now?" Ivan glared, mad that his beloved flower dare let another man touch him twice. He knew Arthur was harassing Alfred; and the only reason why he did not save Alfred was because he wanted Alfred to come to him on his free will.
"I-I don't know, I was scared I guess," Alfred said looking away from Ivan violet eyes, though he knew Ivan was still watching him.
"And you have all right to be, and now you must be punished," Ivan said, kissing Alfred's ear softly and began to caress the human's body. Alfred let out a pained groan, looking at Ivan now that the demon was touching him slowly roaming his large hands over his body. Alfred began to wiggle and beg to be released from Ivan caring hold, thinking Ivan was going to take him now.
"Relax, I am not going to take you just yet; but I know you came here for a request, da?" Ivan asked, pulling his icy cold lips away from Alfred's body. Alfred was shocked, to say the least, and looked at Ivan with a confused look on his beautiful face.
"W-why did you stop?" Alfred asked, his face was a sweet shade of rosy pink. Ivan chuckled, finding he sweet flower to be too innocent.
"Would you prefer me to take you against a tree?" Ivan asked, seeing Alfred shake his head violently. "Good and I just told you I was not going to take you; and yet you still seem scared," Ivan said, hugging his human,
"You're a demon, how was I suppose to trust you?" Alfred asked, making Ivan move away with a smirk on his pale face.
"I have not lied to you before, and if I wanted to I would just kidnap you and make you my sex lave; but I have not and I do not plan on doing it to you, unless you want me to," Ivan said, sitting down on the forest floor and looking up at Alfred's shocked face. Alfred studied Ivan's face, not seeming a reason to not trust the demon' other than the fact that he killed his step-father.
"So what is it that you would like, Alfred, unless you came here just for a friendly conversation with a demon," Ivan asked, watching as Alfred's eyes scanned him and the area around him.
"I was wondering, if I did ask for something, how much would you charge me?" Alfred asked, rapidly rubbing his arms with his hands. Ivan felt his smirk be replaced with a genuine smile.
"Depends on what you want, my little flower. If you want wealth, then I would have to ask you to give much more than a few little kisses. Or if you want revenge, I would have to ask you to do something almost as equally sinful as killing, like being my pet for a few weeks. Or if you want to, possibly, go to the queen's ball and keep your family safe from that Kirkland fellow-" Ivan started to say seeing Alfred's eyes were wide with shock that Ivan knew and fear for the other payments.
"The last one, what would be the payment for that one?" Alfred asked sitting on the ground, but his back against the large tree. Ivan looked at Alfred's body like he was sizing up prey or a nice piece of meat.
"Nothing bad, just you have to sleep with me for two weeks," Ivan said, licking his lips as Alfred began to freak out from his price.
"B-But I want to stay a virgin till I get married!" Alfred yelled, not wanting to be taken every night for fourteen days.
"Oh flower, I would not dare take you unless I tell you I will. Just come out here every night before the stroke of twelve and I will bring you to my den and we will sleep in each others arms," Ivan explained looking at his sharp claws like he was about to sharpen them to be blades to slice something.
"N-no sex?" Alfred asked, seeing Ivan still smiling happily. "Da, I know you're not ready just yet, my flower, I will take you when you have fully ripened," Ivan said, looking at Alfred.
The young blonder shivered at the choice of words, "Just actually sleep, right?" Alfred asked, only seeing Ivan nod his head. Alfred bit his lip, thinking if this was a smart decision or not. He wanted to go to the queen's party so badly, but he did not want his brother to be in danger or Arthur to take him.
"I assume you do not want to risk your brother being harmed, or let Kirkland rape you as much as he pleases to, you have to be like their hero and sacrifice only fourteen nights," Ivan said, making Alfred's face drop into a sad look. Ivan hated making Alfred sad, but he had to get his point across and make Alfred agree.
"Very well, demon, I accept!" Alfred said, holding out his hand to shake Ivan's. Ivan looked at Alfred's and shook his head, chuckling softly at the human's offer.
"On the lips, flower," Ivan said, pointing to his own pale lips. Alfred's face turned bright red, but he nodded. He already had kissed this demon before and it was actually a very nice kiss, though Ivan did seem to shove his tongue down his throat. Alfred crawled over to Ivan and got very close to the demon, which made Ivan smile. Van saw hoe Alfred had his lips puckered and slowly leaned forwards, which was almost like a tease for the lustful demon. Ivan soon felt Alfred's warm lips on his own, which sent a wave of warm through his cold body. He leaned into the kiss and wrapped his arms around Alfred, bringing Alfred
Down so that he was resting on the demon's chest.
Alfred felt his body being picked up, making him break the kiss and look into Ivan's glowing violet eyes. Alfred felt the wind surround him, which made him look away from the beautiful demon and at the changing surroundings. He saw Ivan carrying him while he ran through the forest, jumping over any obstacles in his way. Alfred screamed as Ivan almost ran into a tree, which Ivan had planned too do to scare Alfred. He stopped at a cave, one with vines growing over the mouth like a current so no one could look inside of it. Ivan carried Alfred inside, holding the warm body close to his own.
Ivan placed Alfred on a mat of furs and snapped his long fingers, making a few candles light the small den up for the night blind human. Alfred gasped at Ivan's use of magic, but he should have suspected that Ivan had some other abilities.
"Go to sleep, flower, and we will count this as day one," Ivan said as he began to strip of his human clothes. Alfred could not take his gaze away from the muscular demon, finding the imperfections on Ivan's skin to be beautiful. The scars decorated his age old body, and seeing Alfred look at him without fear made the demon feel nervous. "Good night, Alfred," Ivan said with a smile, only seeing Alfred nod and burry himself under the fur of the many dead animals.
'I told you that you would want something, my flower,' Ivan thought as he blew out the candles and cuddled up to his beloved. He pulled Alfred's warm body close to his, happy to finally feel warmth after so long.
-Line Break-
The prince sat outside on the balcony, looking at the bright move over the city he would soon rule. How lovely the pale orb sat in the sky, imagining how he would give the one he shall love this orb. He knew he would dress his beloved in the finest of everything he could offer. He would give his true love everything they were without, even the moon if they asked for it.
He knew that the perfect person for him was lying down and waiting for him to swoop him away from the clutches of bad people and demons. Roderich was not far from the truth, not knowing the treads of fate had him intertwined with a peasant who was truly in the claws of a demon and a mad man.
"Prince Roderich, your mother has returned," Eduard's vice said from the door, making the prince turn his head and nod.
Elizabeta burst into Roderich's room with a wide smile on her old face, making Roderich raise an eyebrow at her. She ran over to her son and embraced him tightly, seeing her son's confused face made her chuckled lowly at him.
"I am throwing a party soon, and-," Elizabeta was cut off by her son's hand over her mouth.
"I already know, I will find the one I love, blah blah, same thing every time," Roderich said as he pushed away his mother and walked over to his bed, throwing himself onto it.
"But this time will be different," Elizabeta said before leaving her son in his loneliness. Roderich sighed and look out the balcony door, seeing the endless night sky over his land. 'How?…' Roderich asked softly to himself.
