Chapter 10
Sam's POV
Back at the mansion...
These servants... Will be the death of me. Half the kitchen had disappeared, don't mind the garden which might as well never had existed. Sebastian wouldn't be happy when he got back...
I left the kitchen, hearing a crash in the next room. For the first time in my life, I had to admit that there was someone more clumsy than Aria... That's saying a lot if you really knew her. Thinking about her, I wondered if she had feelings towards Sebastian. She had never dated in her life, and I have never seen her cry before either, despite being rather sensitive. Pondering about this he went to check up on Meirin, hoping she did't hurt herself.
Aria's POV
This was not happening...But no matter how much i wanted to deny it, it was real. Sebastian was distracting Luke and his wife while i went through their bedroom. The room was spacious and filled with many things, but it was not beautiful, unlike the rooms at the Phantomhive mansion. The room stunk of smoke, and i opened the windows, despite the cold air and the snow that greeted me. Searching around, I felt insecure wondering if it was just the guilt of snooping into someone else's belongings or the fact that this could be the murderers room. Pulling the closet doors open, i saw rows of expensive dresses. I turned and whacked my head on some shelves.
'OWWWWW' Rubbing my injured head, i saw a picture frame wobble and fall. I dived, grabbing it before it could hit the floor and placed it back in it's position, i noticed Luke and his wife in the image. It showed them to be just married. Sophie looked solemn while Luke smiled brightly beside her. Was there a reason she wasn't happy? Could it be because she did not like this dominated society and her husband made her feel this way? I thought about it as I kept exploring the room.
I opened a drawer and well... lets not say anything more... I kept searching, trying to find whatever clue i could. I thoroughly went through each drawer when i found something. Bingo. I hid it in my dress pocket when I heard some voices.
'Yes, your highness.'
Honestly... Why me!Trying to find a place to hide, i felt a hand covering my mouth. There was a slam, and i was pulled out onto the balcony. Snow kept drifting down, covering me in white. I was pressed closely to a warm body. Looking up, i met a pair of vivid red eyes that captured my gaze and stopped me from breathing, scared that this was a dream.
One's POV
Honestly, what was taking that girl so long? Sebastian thought. Luke Darcy and his wife had just left him to greet more guests, leaving him standing there. Their son, Henry, was laughing within a group of ladies. He decided to see what the heck she was doing and quietly, snuck up the stairs and down the hallways, looking for the right bedroom. He heard some voices and thought to himself.
'Well well... It seems as though the spider has also been invited to this party.'
Sebastian could sense Aria panicking within the room that Claude stood outside of. He quickly opened the door to another room and ran out onto the balcony jumping onto the next one.
The window was already open, and he rushed in and grabbed Aria pulling her outside. He felt her shivering and pulled her closer, glancing down at her she looked up into his eyes. It made him uncomfortable for some reason. Her clear blue eyes so innocent and pure, boldly staring up at him. He thought of something knowing she'd look away if he said it.
Aria's POV
'My love, you are being much more obedient now. Perhaps my devilish looks have finally captured your heart?' He looked smug as he said it. I scoffed.
'As if!'
My cheeks burned as I stared down at my feet, mentally screaming to myself. Remembering what I found, I pulled it out and quickly gave it to Sebastian. It was a intricately decorated dagger, it's hilt had an emerald stuck inside it. The blade was still covered in dried blood. He smiled at me.
'Nicely done' He commented me.
'Really?' I beamed. Glad that he praised me... Wait... HE praised me... Sebastian. There was giddy laughter inside my head.
'I found the dagger inside Lady Sophie's drawer, so it could be hers...'
'Really? Well all the evidence points that way.'
'For some reason, I don't think she did it.'
'Hmm? And whys that?' He whispered in my ear, tickling it.
'I've been thinking about it. When i saw her and Darcy together, I could tell that she really did love him from the way she looked at him. There's also another problem, and it's that Sophie isn't left handed. Shes right handed. I saw her pour a drink for her husband.'
Sebastian raised an eyebrow and smirked.
'You are more observent than i thought miss Aria.'
He said no more and left it at that, as he held me and led us back towards the ballroom.
