Once again, Thank you, Kazekeru1307
The blonde girl looks at Alois with wide eyes. So what Hannah said was right. Bluebells really affects him. Alois reaches out for a bluebell and his tears continue to fall on his cheeks. It reminds him the bond between him and his brother, Luka.
Alice wanted to comfort him but deep inside she won't since she fears his bipolar personality. Who knows what will happen if she does that. Maybe, he will hurt her again. The blonde boy looks at her, furious. Did she do this on purpose?
"You! Where did you get these bluebells?" he shouted angrily. Her guess is right. He will be furious.
"I found these in the woods earlier and somehow, I see that you seems affected with this flowers." She replied. Alois narrows his eyes at her. She really did it. She just wants to see his weakness that's why she gathers this bluebells!
Hannah was behind them and the triplets all curious. Alois notices her and his anger rose. He approached the maid and yank her long lilac hair. Alice gasps. He's hurting Hannah again!
"I saw you two earlier together. Tell me? Did you know that bluebells are related to my past?" he asked angrily at the maid with a psychotic face.
Hannah winces in pain and just replied, "Yes. Danna-sama." Alois couldn't help but to kick her stomach and punch her in the face again and again. Alice's tears form as Alois abuses Hannah in front of her and Claude and the triplets just watching not doing anything.
"Please! Stop! Don't hurt her! Alois!" she yells with her tears forming in her eyes. She doesn't want to see others being hurt by Alois himself. Alois ignores her as he continues to beat the poor maid and throws different objects towards her. Hannah has blood on her mouth and on her head. Alice doesn't understand why Alois is so mean towards Hannah. The dark-skinned maid is kind and gentle and why does he treat her that way? Just because of a flower? The only words she could use to describe him is:
Bipolar
Mad
Psychotic
Freak
Lawrence hears the noise from outside and decides to invade the Trancy mansion with his bodyguards. He could hear Alice's screaming voice upstairs, which makes him, worry. Did something happen in this household? He turns toward his bodyguards.
"Search everywhere." He said to them, "Yes, Your Grace." They bow in unison.
Alice continues to plead to Alois to stop hurting the dark-skinned maid but Alois won't listen to her plea.
"Now, you bitch. This is your punishment for revealing my past life!" he grabs a flower vase filled with bluebells. Alice's eyes went wide. She knew what he going to do. As Hannah's eyes widen and the triplets tried to intervene but Claude stops the three of them. Alois raise the flowers vase up and throws it at the maid.
-Crack-
Blood pours from Alice's head dripping towards her face, Alice just save Hannah Anafeloz's life. Alois' screams in horror of what he just done. Claude's and Hannah's eyes widen and the triplets gasp in surprise as the broken doll fell to the floor unconscious. Blood scattered on the floor. Alois glares harshly at Hannah and punches her in the face. He yank her silver hair extremely angry.
"This is all your fault! Hannah!...You killed her!" he falsely accused the innocent maid.
"Alice!" A male voice screamed. Alois froze as he turned to see Alice's fiancé, Lawrence. His eyes widen with shock. He approaches and crouches down at Alice's unconscious form and glares at the blonde boy.
"What did you do to her!" he yells angrily. Alois flinched.
"I didn't-"Lawrence's angry glare rises.
"You idiot. I saw everything. You hurt her! You bastard! I won't forgive you!" his anger boils and scolds the blonde boy. Alois froze, he can't escape the accusation towards him. He did see that he threw the vase at Alice unintentionally. But the truth is, it was not for her but for that bitch maid.
"Don't just stand there! Call the doctor immediately, Hurry!" he said angrily. One of his bodyguards calls the doctor as Lawrence and Claude helps the unconscious Alice up on her bed. Hannah wipes out the excess blood off the girl's forehead. Somehow, she feels guilt. Alice Trancy had just saved her from Alois and she ended up wounded. She turns and sees Alois motionless and his head staring at the bloody floor. She is heartbroken. Danna-sama
The physician came immediately and was shocked to see the unconscious Trancy girl. He examines her head and he carefully cleanse the wounds and bandages her injured head.
He sighs, "Lady Trancy's injury is severe. It will take a while for her to recover and for now, she needs a long rest."
Lawrence approaches him, "Will she regain her concious?" he asked with a worried look. Alois is speechless standing away from the crowd staring at Alice worriedly.
The physician looked at his medical notes and sighs, "Probably. But the injuries has damaged her skull but not that big and it will take a long time for her to heal. But I suggest that she will taken care of. May I ask what happen?" No one dares to speak out including the witnesses. Lawrence glares at Alois , the one responsible of the accident.
The physician ignores the fact that no one wants to tell him what exactly happened. "Very well, I just give you this prescription and when she wakes up, let her drink this three times a day." He explained to Lawrence and he bows to the young duke, "Please call me if you need my help, Duke Montague." The bodyguards escort him out. "Thank you, Doctor." He told the physician.
As the physician left, Lawrence sat on the edge of the bed next to Alice's sleeping form. He brushes her silky blonde hair and touches his forehead on hers.
"Alice…Please wake up." He murmurs. He is really worried about Alice's condition. He hopes that she'll wake up. Alois leaves the room the blond boy feels guilty on what he did to her.
This is so annoying.
Hannah couldn't help but pity her mistress. She just saved her and now the Trancy girl is in a severe condition. She stares at the young man beside her mistress. It seems that he cares for her a lot and he has a good heart.
She approaches the young man and Lawrence notices her. She bows to him apologetically, "I'm deeply sorry for this, young lord. It is my fault that the Mistress is in this condition." She said with an apologetic look. Lawrence sighs, "It's not you're fault. I saw what happen. Alice just saved you from Alois Trancy. Seriously this girl." He said sadly while staring at the unconscious girl. Hannah didn't speak and just looked at him.
Lawrence stares at Alice sleeping form, "Alice is a good person and a strong girl. She is different from her family." He strokes her curly blonde hair gently." She was never greedy for power and doesn't use it to hurt others. She never uses her status to make herself well-known instead, she uses it to help other people. She doesn't want violence which is why she saved you." He smiles at Hannah. The demoness smiled weakly. She already knows that Alice Trancy's soul is pure and bright which means she is a good person.
"I understand now that your feelings towards my mistress is strong. You care for her, don't you?" she smiles. Lawrence flushes.
"Yes. That's why I loved her but-"his expression seems bitter and upset and Hannah notices it.
"But, Alice attach to Earl Trancy, somehow." he said with a hint of anger on his voice.
Alois was in his office, screaming and throwing random objects. His body trembled both frighten and anger. It's not his fault that Alice is injured! He wraps himself around Claude's torso.
"Claude! Tell me! It's not my fault right?...I didn't intend to hurt her! It's her fault that she protected that whore!" he said with teary eyes. Claude however, just stoically stares at his young master. Truthfully, he wanted to tell the boy that it was his fault in the first place. If he wasn't so impulsive, this wouldn't have happen. But thinking about what happened earlier, gives him the reason to want Alice Trancy's soul so badly. Her blood spilled on his cheek and it really shocked him. The scent of her blood is so irresistible and it feels like a drug. He wanted to taste her blood and eat her soul. He wanted her soul instead of his young master's. A soul that is tainted and dirty and a soul that is so innocent and pure. He wanted it and he needs a plan to create a contract with her. But for now, he needs to calm his bipolar young master.
"Yes. Your Highness." He patted the boy's blonde hair to comfort him. Alois rests his head on Claude's chest for he needs his support and comfort.
Midnight.
Alois is already sleeping and Lawrence was in a guest room because he wants to stay with Alice for a while. Claude decides to check on the Trancy girl. He opens the door and finds the sleeping maiden. He removes his glasses and leans towards her angelic face.
He sniffs her neck and sniffed her delicious soul making him smirk. It is really addicting and he wants it so bad. The girl continues to sleep peacefully unaware of the demon butler's inappropriate acts. According to the physician, it may take a one month for her to recover. It makes him feel frustrated. He sees she wearing her white sleeved nightgown and he stares at her feet. In the moonlight, he kneels down and gently holds the sleeping girl's feet. His eyes glowing pink and smirking.
"Cupio te ardenter, domina." He kissed the girl's feet. The sign of his sinful desire towards his mistress. The thought of it, makes him excited. He will put the blonde girl's name on his list on devouring souls including his young master and Ciel Phantomhive.
He stands transforming himself into a spider, watching her with lust.
Translation means: ~Italic~ I greedily desire you, my mistress.
