Hello everyone again :D
Firstly, I'm truly sorry for not updating before, but I am ill again, and I didn't have the power to use my laptop because of my fever ^^'
Fortunately, the fever is over, so I'm here again, with the new chapter, 10 pages long again :D!
As always, thank you for your awesome reviews~ o3o
I won't write the names down again, as there is no change since the latest chapters, if you don't mind, but I still love you all~ C: !
Good news that because of my illness, I will be home during this week, so I will have more time to write, so may update the new chapter soon :D!
Oh, and I just realised that I forgot to the say that Ciel is 17 and Alois is 18 in this fic ;)
Warning: Okay, I know there will be some Sebastian x Ciel parts in this chapter, but don't worry, Ciel is Alois' for sure! And they will meet again soon ;)
When I was 9 years old, I broke my left wrist too (but together with my forearm), so I know how bad it is ;A; The hardest is the bathing, my mother always had to help me xD
Enough of talk, enjoy C: !
When Sebastian arrived to "his kingdom" he couldn't help smiling. It was good to see his home again. The nature and the people were much kinder and in a much better condition. The people loved him as he always tried to do the best for them. His palace was at the end of the kingdom, surrounded by a forest. When they got there, he lifted the still sleeping boy and brought him out of the carriage.
"MISTER SEBASTIAN~!" – came an excited shout of young boy, who started to run to his side.
"Ah, Finnian, good to see you again!" – the prince smiled as the boy reached them – "How did the things do while I was away?"
"As always..." – the boy replied with an embarrassed laugh. Unlike the other palace, this one had 4 servants: a gardener, a chef, a maid and a butler. However, despite the number, they always made a mess. One day the kitchen blows up, and all the plates break on the other one. Why didn't the prince fire them you ask? Well, the servants weren't normal humans. The chef used to be a soldier; the maid had sharp eyesight with excellent shooting skills; while the gardener had inhuman strength. About the butler, he was an old man, sometimes in a small form and acting like Santa Claus, as he always just says: "Ho ho ho". But he was one of the best butlers in his normal form.
"Who is that boy with you?" – the gardener, now known as Finnian asked, tilting his head as he pointed to the sleeping body in the prince's arms.
"Oh, he? Well, let's say that Claude has a rather interesting way of giving job to his servants..."
"He was one of those two servants who you saved?!" – Finnian exclaimed surprised. They were informed about the story, but he wouldn't have imagined that the boy was this young.
"Yes... Well, I still have a lot to do, keep on with the good work!" – Sebastian smiled as he started to go into the palace, where Tanaka, the butler was already opening for him (A/N: he drove the carriage, that's why he doesn't greet him now)
"Thank you Tanaka. Before you do any work, could you call doctor Hulbert? I need this boy to be checked, he is in a really bad condition..." – he asked, looking down at the panting boy in his arms.
"Of course, my lord." – the old man bowed as he went to do what he was told.
Sebastian brought the boy upstairs into his room and put him down on the bed and wrapped the thick silk blanket around his shaking body. He put his gloves off to check the boy's temperature, but frowned when his hand got in contact with the forehead. It has gotten hotter, almost burning. The sharp breaths and the weak pulse of the young servant weren't promising either. He put his hand on the pink cheek, saying in a low voice.
"Everything will be alright, don't give up now..."
"Mey-Rin!" – the prince called his maid as he exited the room.
CRASH
"Y... Yes Mister Sebastian!"
The maid always breaks plates, so Sebastian didn't even frown at the sound when the maid heard his call. In some seconds the maid was beside him.
"Mey-Rin, please look after the boy in my room until doctor Hulbert arrives."
"Understood!" – the maid saluted as she went into the room.
Sebastian went into his workroom, which was on the same floor, but on the other side. The room had a huge dark wooden table in the centre with a huge chair, covered with red silk on it. There was a huge amount of paper on the table, waiting for the prince to take care of them.
"Well... let's get into work until then..." – he sighed as he sat down on the chair and started to read the papers.
After about half an hour, the doctor arrived and Tanaka led him upstairs into the room. Mey-Rin ran into his master's room as soon as the man started to examine the boy.
"Mister Sebastian, doctor Hulbert has arrived!"
Sebastian looked up from his work, but as soon as his mind processed the sentence, he threw the paper, which he was working on to the table and stood up.
"Thanks Mey-Rin, you can go now."
"Yes!" – the maid bowed and went back to her work.
Sebastian waited on the brown leather couch before his room. It was put out for the guest if they had to wait and now it was the perfect for him to wait for the results.
Half an hour had passed, which felt like an eternity for Sebastian, when finally the door opened, revealing the doctor.
"How is he...?" – the prince asked with a worried voice, but the doctor just shook his head.
"He has gone through a lot, which had a bad effect on his body. He has several bruises on his body, hardening his movements, let alone his broken right wrist. What's more his pulse is rather slow and his fever is in a critical state, so it's a luck we were able to start the healing in time or else he would have died in some hours... Looks like the young boy is suffering from an asthma, which hardens his breathing, so make sure he is getting some oxygen from this bottle regularly while he is ill. He won't be able to talk for some days when he wakes up, because his throat is swollen really badly. However, the worst is his skinny form. It looks like he hasn't eaten properly for days..."
Sebastian eyes widened at the sentences. – 'What the hell has Claude done with this boy?'
"But he will be alright... won't he...?" – he asked with a really worried face.
The doctor gave Sebastian a box, filled with medicines. – "I've given him some injections to help him, but he is still in a very critical condition, but if he takes these medicines and rests for a week, then everything must be alright. But don't let him work hard for at least one month, because his wrist needs to heal properly. You must also give him some cold bath in order to decrease his fever. When it will be under the critical point, make sure he is wrapped in blankets and always have a wet towel on his forehead. If everything goes well, he must be alright again in some weeks. I will come back next week to check his state."
This made Sebastian relieve a little. At least Ciel still has a chance to survive.
"Thank you so much, I really appreciate your help."
"No, mine is the pleasure, your majesty."
"Tanaka, make sure the doctor gets his payment properly as always. And give him some exclusive food as well now with a horse."
The doctor's eyes lit up. – "Thank you so much your majesty!"
But Sebastian raised his hand – "No, you helped a really important person, so this is the least I can do..." – he smiled.
When Sebastian made sure that the doctor was led away in safe with the stuffs he was promised, he smiled and went into his room to check the boy.
Ciel was sleeping on the bed, his breathing still sharp. Sebastian went to his side, put off his gloves and put a hand on his forehead.
'It's still burning... he needs to have a cold bath...'
"Mey-Rin!"
CRASH
"Y... Yes Master Sebastian?" – came the question of the maid as she stepped into the room.
"Bring some clean clothes into my room.
"Yes!" – she bowed and left the room.
The prince carefully lifted Ciel from the bed and brought him into the bathroom. He slowly put off the boy's clothes, causing him to shiver. Sebastian frowned, but knew he had to lessen the temperature of his body. Although he has already seen before, he still gaped at the now naked (A/N: okay, I know Ciel's pants were on last time, but you understand ^^') body, which was covered in sweat like his clothes. He slowly put the shivering body into the tub and started to pour cold water on his upper body from a bucket, then went to his lower parts. Ciel winced at the touch of the cold liquid, but because of his illness, he didn't wake up. His body was too tired and ill.
When Sebastian poured the last drops of the water on the body, he lifted him out of the tub and wrapped a towel around him. After he dried his body, he took him back to his room and put the clean clothes, brought by Mey-Rin on him. He couldn't help chuckling at the sight as the boy was wearing clothes, which were rather big for his small body, but were better than the wet clothes of Ciel.
When Sebastian was ready, he put the boy back to the bed, wrapped the blanket around his body. He put a hand on his forehead again and relieved to see that his fever decreased. He put a fresh wet towel on the forehead and put a hand on his cheek, caressing it.
'Get better soon, little one...'
And with that, he stood up and went out to have some dinner.
When Sebastian got back to his room, he realised that Ciel was shivering visibly on the bed, wincing from the pain in his body.
'My... looks like someone needs some help...' – he thought with a soft smile. Quickly, he went to have a shower and returned with his nightgown on. He carefully lifted the blanket and went beside the shaking boy and wrapped an arm around his small body. He froze as he felt the ribs of the boy, realising how thin he was. When he saw his body, he didn't think it was that bad.
'He needs to have a good meal when he gets up...' – he thought as he caressed the pinkish cheek of the young boy, with one arm still around the body. He remained in this position for about half an hour and to his relief the shaking stopped and Ciel was now in a calm dream again.
'Looks like he is not cold anymore.' – he thought with a smile, but froze when he heard a soft moan from the figure as he snuggled his face into his chest, causing his smile widen.
"Good night, Ciel" – he kissed the cheek of the boy and with his arms around the body, and Ciel's head snuggled into his chest, he let himself drift off to sleep as well.
The next day Sebastian woke up with Ciel still snuggled into his chest, his breathing now steadier. The doctor informed the prince that because of his illness, maybe the young boy will sleep for some days, but that will be the best for his health.
Sebastian smiled at the sight of the boy being so vulnerable like that. He has already heard rumours about the two boys' actions, and seeing him in a state like that made him chuckle.
Following the doctor's order, he always checked on the boy in case something happens. The servants were surprised to see their master like this. Although they wanted to help, Sebastian ordered them to just continue their job as he wanted to take care of the boy. He didn't understand why, but he felt a need to care about the child. He was informed that he is an orphan, but the cause of the death of their parents was still unknown. But what most got the attention of the boy was his determination about keeping the secrets about his past. It wasn't a matter how hard they tried, he wasn't willing to say anything about his life before he became a thief. This made Sebastian's curiousness grow even more. He wanted to know everything about the boy and don't let him be the servant of anybody.
'Why... why am I so concerned about this boy...? He was just a thief saved from execution. He is still an ex-criminal! I can't let myself take care of him too much! But still...'
Despite his will, his caring seemed to be more powerful. He always spent the night with the boy in his arms to keep him warm.
He was just about to concentrate on his work more, when on the second night he was suddenly woken up by scary coughs from the young boy. He knew that he had a problem with his throat as well, but this coughing wasn't promising, especially when they didn't want to end even by the morning.
Sebastian informed the doctor about this, who told him not to fear, it was just a new symptom of his illness as his system wants to defend against it and that he would be alright in some days when he wakes up and takes his medicines.
On the fourth day, the servants finally were able to convince their master to concentrate on his work as a lot had accumulated during the days. However, in return, the prince asked them to always be one person who takes care of the young boy.
Mey-Rin was cleaning the prince's room, as it was her turn during the afternoon, while Bard made dinner and Finnian took care of the garden. She was humming some song with a smile as she dusted the shelves in the room, but frowned when she heard some moans.
She turned to the source of the sound with a questioning face, but froze when she realised that it was the young boy, squeezing his eyes tightly before he was finally able to open them. It has been a long time since Ciel last opened his eyes, so they had to get used to the sudden light.
"Wooooah, looks like you are awake!" – the maid ran happily to his side immediately.
Ciel looked up at her with a still tired face, wiping his eyes. When he was finally able to gain his senses, he froze and got up with a gasp as he realised that he was in a new place with an unfamiliar maid beside him; but immediately regretted his action as a sudden pain shot into his head.
"Don't try to move hard, you are still ill..." – the maid ran to his side and put her hands on his shoulder to make him lay back down.
Ciel opened his mouth to say something, but froze when no voice came out just felt the pain from his sore throat.
Mey-Rin shook her head with a sad face. – "Your throat is in a very bad condition, so you won't be able to talk for a while... But wait a minute!" – her eyes lit up as an idea got into her mind. She knew the room like her own as she has already cleaned it hundreds of times. She opened a drawer of the table next to the bed and took out an empty notebook and a pen and gave it to the boy with a smile – "Here. If you want to say something, just write it down!"
Ciel just nodded in agreement and immediately started to write. It was hard with his right hand in a plaster, but he was able to write with his left one, then gave it to the maid.
'Thank you miss...?'
"Mey-Rin, just call me Mey-Rin!" – the maid replied with a huge smile. – "I'm the maid in the palace of Mister Sebastian."
Ciel's eyes widened, causing a questioning face from the maid as she gave him the notebook back – "What's the problem...?"
'You mean... that I'm in prince Sebastian's palace now...?'
Mey-Rin looked at him with a confused look as she read the note, but remembered that the boy was unconscious when Sebastian brought him here.
"Oooh, yes, that's right, maybe you don't know it. I'm sorry, the prince told us that you were in a really bad state so he has took you away from Prince Claude in order to save your life..." – she explained the situation, but the boy still just laid there frozen, extending his arm to show that he wanted to write something.
'What are you talking about...?! Why did he take me? And where is Alois then?!'
Mey-Rin could realise that the young boy was getting both angry and confused from his face. She could understand from the prince's report how he felt by losing his best friend and not even knowing about it.
Her face changed into a sad one as she read the sentences. – "He... was left with the other prince..."
Ciel froze. It wasn't enough that he was in a totally new place without his consent, but also he lost his best friend... no lover. Yes, Ciel now admitted that he could call Alois his boyfriend, although they weren't able to go on dates. It was enough for them to understand each other feelings. Some tears appeared at the corner of his good eye and he immediately bowed his head, his bangs covering his face. He didn't want the maid to see him like this.
"You see... the prince is a very kind person and he was the one who took care of you until we warned him about his work..." – Mey-Rin tried to calm the boy as she saw how broken he was.
Ciel extended his arms for the notebook and started to write and Mey-Rin's expression turned into a sad one as she saw the teardrops on the paper given to her.
'I... wasn't even able to say good-bye to him... How can you call your prince kind?!'
Mey-Rin wanted to say something, but knew she would reach nothing with the current state of the boy.
"I will inform the prince that you have woken up..." – she bowed as she left the room, looking back one last time with a sad face.
Ciel just laid there frozen and tried to fight against the tears, without success. He slowly sat up not minding the headache and raised his knees to his chest then put his head on them, now crying without any fight.
'Alois...'
Sebastian was sitting on his silk chair working on a paper when he heard a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
"M... Mister Sebastian..." – came the shaky voice of Mey-Rin as she opened the door.
"What happened Mey-Rin? Is something wrong...?" – the prince asked with a frown, causing a blush from the maid as she bowed her head.
"N... no... actually..."
The prince sighed – "Mey-Rin tell me already. I have a lot of things to do and-"
"The boy has woken up..."
Sebastian froze, but his eyes immediately lit up as he stood up – "That's splendid! Is he in the room now?"
"Y... yes... but..."
"Mey-Rin, what's the problem?" – the prince started to get worried. The boy has been out for four days and finally he was awake. What could be better than this now?
"I think we should let him be alone for awhile..." – Mey-Rin replied with some tears appearing at the corner of her eyes.
"W... what do you mean?"
"Mister Sebastian, the boy seems to be awful... he has been crying when I left him...!" – the maid looked up with a teary face, causing the prince to froze.
"I will check him NOW!" – he declared as he wanted to exit the room, but the maid grabbed his forearm. – "Mey-Rin...?"
"Please... Mister Sebastian..."
The prince sighed. He knew that must be a big problem if the maid was so serious, so he smiled – "Alright, but I will check him after an hour."
Mey-Rin looked up with a happy face – "Thank you Mister Sebastian! I'm sure he will be better by then!"
The prince smiled – "Thanks for your help Mey-Rin, you can go now."
"Yes!" – the maid bowed and left the room.
Sebastian sat back onto his chair with a concerned look. He knew it would be hard for the boy, but this much...?
When the prince finally was able to finish his work around dinner time, he decided that it was time to check on the boy. He slowly went to the room and knocked on the door, but when got no answer entered the room.
Ciel was still staying in the position as before, his head snuggled into his knees.
"I see, you are awake, it's good news!" – Sebastian smiled softly as he approached the boy.
Ciel looked up with an angry expression, trying to scare the prince away, who just chuckled and put a hand on the boy's shoulder.
"Don't worry I won't h-" – but he was cut off, when Ciel slapped his hand away hardly.
"Oooh, looks like someone ate lemon~" – Sebastian commented with a teasing voice, causing a pillow being thrown to his head, which made him chuckle more.
"Oi, you can't pout all day... Come, dinner is ready!"- he extended a hand with a soft smile.
Ciel was firstly hesitating, but the growling of his stomach made a decision instead of him as he accepted the hand and stood up; his face still unchanged.
Sebastian noticed the notebook and the pen and before they left, he put them into his pocket in case they need them.
Ciel was just sitting on his chair, making circles with his fork on the plate, not eating from his food.
"Ciel, you need to eat something... you are in a very bad condition and you need some food to heal..." – Sebastian looked at him with a concerned look.
The young boy looked down at himself and realised that the shirt was rather big on him, maybe the prince's.
"Finnian lent you some clothes, but you are too skinny for those clothes too, so eat!"
Ciel still continued his "game" with the fork, not even looking up. Although his throat hurt like hell, Bard made him soft foods to be able to eat them. However, he was too angry to eat something. He couldn't help thinking about his friend. To his fortune, almost all of his tears left his eyes during the hours he was in the room, thus he didn't show that side of him to the prince.
Sebastian just sighed as he looked at the pouting boy. – "If you don't eat, I have to use force..." – he declared as he got up from his seat, making the boy's eyes widen as he dropped his fork and tried to get further from the approaching prince. He was stopped when an arm was curled around his chair and another grabbing a spoon. A huge red blush appeared on his face when the prince's face was just inches away from his and whispered into his ears:
"I will feed you then."
Sebastian's smile never left his face as he was putting some food on the spoon and brought it to the boy's mouth.
"Open."
The boy tried to protest, but he was stopped by the prince grabbing his chin and lifting it, his eyes facing him.
"Open up please~"
Ciel still wanted to get out of the prince's touch, but the growling of his stomach started to grow, thus he couldn't help opening his mouth and letting Sebastian put the food into his mouth.
"Good boy~!" – the prince declared with a huge smile, closing his eyes.
Ciel's face was now covered in a red colour as he grabbed the spoon and took it out of the older man's hand. As his right hand was in a plaster, he had to use his left arm to eat, ending up with dirt all over the plates as he tried to lift the spoon.
Sebastian chuckled as he took the spoon back – "I'll help you, don't worry."
The rest of dinner continued with Sebastian feeding the flushing Ciel. When they finished, Sebastian finished his own food then led the boy back upstairs.
"You can take one of the guest rooms. Go and have some rest, you are still ill and need some day to heal properly."
Ciel nodded, but before he left, he extended his arm. Sebastian looked at him with a questioning face, but when the boy started to point at his pocket, he realised what he wanted. With a chuckle he gave the notebook and the pen to the boy, who grabbed them and with the help of the wall he started to write then gave the note to the prince with a blush appearing on his face again.
'Thank you...'
Sebastian's face turned into a surprised one as he read the words. They were just two simple words, but still it made his heart beat faster. With a smile, he ruffled the flushing boy's hair (on the top).
"You are welcome. Now go and sleep well."
Ciel nodded and went into a room, at the other side of the floor (storey), causing Sebastian to chuckle.
'Does he hate me that much...?'
"Mey-Rin!"
The called maid ran to the prince immediately – "Yes?"
"Go, help Ciel out in his room. I'm sure it will be hard for him alone. I still have some things to do..."
"Understood!" – the maid saluted then ran to the room she was shown to be Ciel's.
She slowly knocked on the door and entered.
"Excuse me... I came to help you..."
Ciel was trying to make his bed with one hand, when the maid ran to his side.
"D... Don't try to do it! I... I will help you!" – she declared as she took the pillow the boy was holding and started to change the bedclothes into clean ones.
Ciel was sitting on the chair in the corner of the room, watching the maid doing her work.
"Here, it's ready now! Can I help you with something?" – she asked politely.
'Could you please bring my belongings into the room? I need some clothes...'
"Of course, I will be back in a minute!" – she smiled and ran out of the room.
Ciel couldn't help smiling too. Although he felt anger for the prince, he still knew that he can trust at least in the maid and the other servants.
Mey-Rin was back in some minutes with the luggage in her hands. – "Here."
'Thanks'
The maid smiled as she read the notes. – "I think you should take a bath as well. I'm going to get some water ready and bring a pouch for your right hand to protect it from the water." – she said and immediately ran out of the room again.
Ciel was glancing at the closed door, sitting on the bed. It was much different here. He started to feel safe. However, he still didn't forgive the prince for taking him away from Alois without any word.
Mey-Rin stepped into the room not later with a pouch in her hand, which he put on the plaster on the boy's right arm forearm and put a knot at the end to prevent the water from coming on it. After she finished, she looked up with a blush on her face - "Do you need any more help...?"
Ciel looked at her with a smile and shook his head.
"Ah, yes!" – the maid raised her finger as she remembered something. She took out a little silver bell from her pocket and gave it to the boy. – "Just jingle if you need something!" – she winked.
Ciel's eyes lit up as he looked at the small thing in his palms. He nodded with a smile still on his face as a 'thank you'.
"Then, if you apologise!" – the maid bowed and she left the room.
Ciel's smile widened as he wanted to enter the bathroom, but heard some crashing noise from downstairs. One thing he has already realised that the servants were really clumsy in the palace despite the old butler. While he was sitting on the bed earlier, the old man went into the room to check on him, but Ciel just shook his head and asked him to leave him alone for some time in a note.
Ciel slowly took off his clothes, but it was really hard with just one arm. However, he didn't want anybody to see him without clothes, especially the prince. The thought itself made him blush hardly. Judging from the dinner earlier, he was sure that the prince could do anything, not bothering about the other's embarrassment. He was determined enough not to let the prince come into the room so he locked it with a key beforehand.
When he was finally able to take off all of his clothes, he put one leg into the warm water, firstly wincing from the temperature, but put another leg into it and he slowly started to get used to it. When his whole body was in the water – except for his right hand – his muscles started to relax in the warm water. He even sank his head until his nose into the water, enjoying the warmth. He knew that it would be hard to wash his hair, but he realised that somebody has already done it while he was asleep, so he just cleaned his body after some minutes of relaxing in the water. He slowly got out of the water - in order not to slip - and wrapped a towel around his waist. The hardest part of the bathing was the drying of his body. However, he still didn't want anybody to see him like this, although he was sure that somebody had already showered him while he was unconscious. He couldn't help a blush appearing on his face when he thought about the prince taking his clothes off and showering him.
'Ciel calm down... It could have been a servant too... Yes, it must have been! The prince has a lot of work to do...' – he shook his head to ease the thoughts, but ended with a deeper blush – '... doesn't he...?'
To his fortune, putting his nightgown on was much easier as it only consisted of one part, going through his body until his knees. Although he felt better, he knew that he was still ill, and his sudden dizziness just confirmed it. With the support of the wall, he was able to get back to his bed. He lifted the sheets and snuggled into the pillow, wrapping the blanket around his body. He was cold and he was sure he still suffered from a fever as he put a hand on his forehead. He sighed, but let his eyes close slowly and drift off to sleep.
Ciel woke up when he heard his door opening with a creaking voice. He slowly opened his tired (good) eye. He was sure it has just been some minutes since he fell asleep.
"I... I'm sorry, but the prince asked me to make sure you take your medicines..." – he heard the apologising voice of the maid, who came in with a box in her hands, filled with bottles and pills.
'Do I really have to take this much...?' – the boy looked into the box with a frown. - 'A dying old man must take lesser than this...!'
Mey-Rin noticed the frowning of the boy and put a hand on the boy's shoulder – "You have to take them if you want to get better..."
Ciel took his notebook and gave a note to the girl, whose face changed into a sadder one as she read them.
'Is my condition... that bad...?'
"Well... you see... your fever seems to have gone down well, but you were in an almost dying state when you got here..."
Ciel's eyes widen. He was sure that he must have slept a huge amount of time.
'How long have I been out...?'
He wrote the note, although he didn't really want to know the answer, little bit fearing of it.
"Four days..." – the maid sighed, causing a bow of head from the boy in acceptance.
"B... b... but don't worry, the doctor said that you would be alright in some days if you take the medicines! He will come back to check your state in 3 days." – Mey-Rin tried to calm the boy with a stuttering voice, waving her hands in the air quickly, but the boy still didn't look up.
"He said that you also have to eat a lot, because you were so skinny that he had to give you capsules to help you or else it would have caused worse problems... However, he said that the worst is your right wrist..." – her expression returned to a sad one as she looked at the plaster on the boy's forearm.
Ciel looked down at it with a smirk. Of course he knew why it was broken. He was now sure that Prince Claude wasn't a human. No, he must be something inhuman, which he thought wasn't even existing.
A demon...
Mey-Rin froze. Why was the boy smirking? It's a miracle he is alive, and still...
However, she was sure it was good if she didn't ask it, especially with the boy not being able to speak at the moment.
"Now, I will help you take the medicines then..." – she tried to drive the theme away as she took out one bottle and put some ointment on a spoon.
Ciel looked at her with a sigh as he accepted the medicine.
When they were ready, Mey-Rin let the boy go back to a deserved sleep and exited the room. She leaned to it with her back after closing it, bowing her head.
'Why...?'
"Mey-Rin, is there a problem...?" – she was waken up from her thoughts by the concerned voice of the prince.
"Aaah, Mister Sebastian! N... no, there's nothing! I... I just gave the boy his medicines!" – she stuttered. She was happy that her glasses hided her eyes, covering her fake smiling expression.
The prince frowned. He still realised from the voice that something was wrong, so he sighed.
"What happened?"
Mey-Rin stopped her fake laughing at the question an bowed her head. – "I... I don't know the reason, but when I informed the boy about his broken wrist he just grinned all of a sudden..."
Sebastian froze. Judging from the injury, he realised that Claude was the one who caused the break, but he didn't even think in his worst nightmares that Ciel had already find out the truth.
"Mister Sebastian...?" – the maid looked at him with a concerned face, realising that he has been lost in his thoughts.
The frozen expression turned into a grin – "Thank you Mey-Rin. You helped a lot, you can go now."
"Y... Yes!" – she bowed and went to join her friends for a deserved sleep.
'Ciel... looks like you have realised things you shouldn't have...' – the prince thought with the grin still on his face as he glanced back at the door of the room of the boy one last time, before he went into his own room.
Okay, so this is the new chapter, hope you enjoyed ^w^!
