Chapter 8: Fallen Angel
Ciel was still on his mission assigned by the queen. He misses Rose greatly. On the other hand, Rose was only staying in their manor but sometimes pay visit to Lizzy. She doesn't want to go out for now until Ciel comes back. Five days have passed and Ciel is still not returning on the Phantomhive manor. Tomorrow, she will have a tea with Alois and she will be accompanied by her brother Stephen.
"Hey sister, what's with that face?" Stephen asked
"Nothing brother, I am just worried." She replied
"With Ciel? Am I right?" Stephen said
"Yes." Rose replied
"Sis, you must not worry about him. He's one of a kind kid, I know he's safe." Stephen said
"That's not it brother, I admit that I am worried about his safety but I am more worried about having tea in the Trancy manor. You know that I am not comfortable with Alois. He's somewhat scary." Rose replied
"I see. So that's the reason. I guess you should tell Ciel to make the publicity of your engagement earlier." Stephen said
"Can it help?" she asked
"Maybe, because if the public knows that you're the future wife of the Queen's Watchdog, those nobles who have interests on you will be force to take retreat." Stephen said
"That's a bright idea brother! I will tell Ciel as soon as he come back home." Rose replied
She left her brother and she goes directly to her mother. She saw her smiling mother from a distant. She is just silent there watching her. She comes to her like a child who always finds comfort.
"You know mother, I was so happy and excited. I never expect that someday I will become the wife of the Queen's Guard Dog. It's a pleasure to become Ciel's future wife." She said
"Rose, what are you doing here?" her father asked
"Just talking to mother, father." Rose replied
"I see. Well Rose, it is about time for you to have a rest." The duke said
"Yes father." Rose replied
Rose goes to her room and lie on her bed. She feels very uneasy this time. She walks to the balcony to breathe some fresh air. When she opens the balcony, she saw a mysterious figure behind the trees on their garden. She runs outside and goes to the garden. She slowly walks towards the trees and found nothing there. On her surprise, someone tap her on her shoulder.
"M- miss Angela…" Roseamanelle said
"I'm sorry if I startled you, my lady." Angela said
"Miss Angela, what are you doing here?" Rose said
"I want to have a talk with you, my lady." Angela said
"For what?" Rose asked
"Something very important." Angela replied
"I see. So what is it?" Rose said
"My lady, I wonder if you know something about the Earl Phantomhive's doing?"
"Ciel's doing? Well, he is somewhere for a mission." Rose replied
"Not that, my lady. I mean are you familiar about his wrong doings." Angela replied
"What do you mean his wrong doings? Ciel didn't do anything wrong." Rose said
"Seems that you're really innocent about the earl's works." Angela said with a smile on her face
Roseamanelle doesn't get the point of what Angela is trying to say. She knows that Ciel doesn't do anything wrong. She thinks that she should not believe Angela's words about Ciel, she must ask Ciel personally about this issue.
"I think Ciel will not lie to me, Miss Angela. I think that Ciel will keep secrets away from me but there must be a reason. Ciel is a very secretive person but I trust Ciel." Rose replied
"I see, so you trust Ciel with all of your heart. Well, I just repeat this to you my lady, be aware of the things around yourself." Angela said
"I will Miss Angela, thanks." Rose said
Angela was escorted by Roseamanelle to the doors. As she leaves, Angela was still disappointed that she still not manages to have Rose in her hands. On the other hand, Rose was still thinking about Angela's words. 'Do I need to have doubts about Ciel? What does Miss Angela is talking about? I wish Ciel is now here.' Rose thought
