Catherine's POV

"It looks like you had a rough night" I told Ciel, Sebastian, Lau, and Soma.

Ciel had just finished explaining what ensued after I fell asleep last night. My husband had heard something and saw Agni leaving the townhouse. Apparently Agni had betrayed Soma in some manner and this greatly upset the prince.

"Today there's a curry competition I'm betting Agni is entering it to get a Royal Warrant so this Mina can be returned safely" my husband explained.

"That man with Agni last night Harold West mentioned her" Soma added. "I wonder if he knows her"

"I wouldn't be surprised I'm sorry you had to see someone you trusted betray you like this" I apologized to Soma.

Soma shot me a grateful smile before Lau participated in the conversation.

"Agni must have been behind the attacks so the competition could be lowered"

"Boring" Ciel complained. "I traveled all the way to London so I could ease her majesty's mind and gain something out of this"

My brother then looked to Sebastian.

"Make sure you win the competition and get the Royal Warrant"

"As you wish my lord" Sebastian responded in his usual bow and gloved hand on his chest. My husband then kissed my forehead before heading off to work.

"How long have you been married Lady Catherine?" Soma asked noticing my rings.

"Just a few months Sebastian and I have been courting for two years though" I answered.

"He's very lucky my lady I won't lie you are a beauty"

I chuckled and gave the prince a reassuring wave. I then had an idea.

"Would you like to know how to fence? We have some time before we leave for the competition"

Soma blushed before asking.

"Would that be alright with you? Sometimes I'm a slow learner" the purple haired prince confessed.

"My sister is a patient woman to be honest I'll stick around to watch" Ciel stated. Lau had to leave to do some business so it was only me, Ciel, and Soma in the practice room. First I explained to Soma how to properly wield the foil before introducing some basic moves.

After several failed attempts to successfully attack me Ciel took Soma's place so the prince could watch my brother and I fence against one another. A half hour passed before Soma wanted to try again after watching me and Ciel. I lunged at Soma prepping for my attack and Soma successfully blocked me.

After a few more rounds the purple haired royal seemed to be getting the idea of how fencing worked. Sebastian found us and said we should get ready to leave. Since I was going out in public I had to wear a damn dress. I found one made for winter and pulled it on without any hassle. It was long sleeved and it was emerald green which was one of my favorite colors next to dark blue.

"Wearing boots I see" Sebastian teased entering our room.

"Zip it demon I maybe a lady but I like my boots thank you" I pointed out.

Sebastian chuckled before kissing my hand.

At the setting where the competition was taking place there was a good sized crowd and everyone came including Finney, Tanaka, Bard, and Mey-Rin. Sebastian left to prepare for the contest and Soma took off and I guessed he saw someone he knew. When he returned he looked upset about something but I decided to mind my own business.

It wasn't long until the contest was about to begin and the participants were on stage.

"Hey look who's in the contest as well" I teased Ciel playfully elbowing him in the side.

Close to Sebastian was Sadie and Ciel smiled.

"I wasn't expecting her to be here she did mention she liked to cook" Ciel told me.

"She'll be one hell of a wife" I went on.

"Oh hush sister" Ciel replied with a smirk.

"Aw hell not that idiot again" I muttered seeing Druitt. "I seriously hate that bastard"

"Same here" Ciel agreed.

Just as the contest was about to begin music played and this got everyone's attention. My eyes went wide and so did Ciel's. Because the freaking Queen of England was here!

As she was escorted down the red carpet everyone began to sing. I didn't because my singing wasn't up to par and let's leave it at that. The man escorting her highness seemed familiar to me but I couldn't place where I had seen him before. Queen Victoria had her face hidden behind a black veil. After a brief speech by the gentlemen next to her the queen sat down and the curry contest began.

Sadie and Sebastian went straight to work as did Agni.

"Good lord Ms. Sadie is quite the cook!" Finney exclaimed.

My brother's fiancée never lost her concentration as she cooked her curry. Ciel was smiling at his future bride's determination. Sebastian was doing the same and I smirked. Some of the ladies in the crowd were fawning over my husband and that pissed me off.

Easy love remember I only belong to you Sebastian reassured me through the mate bond.

Damn straight you do demon I don't share what's mine I answered.

Eventually the curry cooking came to an end and the judges didn't like the first one. The second one seemed to please the judges but the balance and the smell wasn't satisfactory. Sadie's was next and she used some kind of meat and the judges got excited.

The dragoness smirked before it was Agni's turn and the judges apparently loved his curry. Eventually it was Sebastian's turn and the judges loved his curry as much as Agni's. Druitt made a comment and it was from the time Ciel dressed up as girl. My brother paled and I patted his back in reassurance.

While the judges went to deliberate on the winner the crowd could eat the curry if they wanted to.

"Hello Little Earl" Sadie greeted my brother as she approached us. Ciel smiled before taking her hand and kissed it. I let my brother talk with his fiancée while Sebastian appeared next to me with a plate of his curry.

"Care to try some Mrs. Michaelis?" he asked seductively. I smirked before taking the plate and took a bite of his curry.

"Holy crap this is good!" I exclaimed.

"I'm pleased you like it my love" Sebastian purred before kissing my forehead. The man who was Queen Victoria's escort asked for my husband and after kissing my cheek he headed off. A few minutes later my mate gave the queen's escort the curry bread and after taking a bite she seemed to like it. As her servant praised the curry bread on her behalf a woman's voice rang out.

A woman dressed up in Indian garb was surrounded by a purple aura and her eyes glowed red. This had to be the woman Mina the prince had been looking for. And she was currently under possession. A man who I presumed to be her husband ran over trying to calm her down but she simply punched him hard and he went flying into the air due to her possessed superhuman strength.

The police tried to even restrain her but the woman overpowered them like she did with her husband. Then one by one some of the other crowd goers began to become possessed as well. Worried for the queen Ciel ran forward but was stopped by two possessed men. Just as my brother was surrounded Sadie jumped in.

She used her fists to send three men away from her mate before giving the others a well deserved round house kick.

"Filthy half breed"

I was suddenly surrounded by my own possessed group and using my psychic power I sent them away from me using my thoughts. Then Sebastian appeared behind me and he was blocking a woman holding a silver knife. My mate slapped the knife out of the woman's grasp before pushing her away from me.

"Good timing my love" I praised my husband.

"I won't allow anyone to hurt the woman I love" Sebastian said looking to me making me blush like a fool. "Now my love please keep up your fighting because I must act on my masters orders"

Sebastian then charged at the possessed Mina who was proving to be a difficult opponent for my mate. Those who weren't under possession fled for safety and I continued to use my psychic ability to protect myself while Sadie used her martial arts to protect Ciel.

Nearby I saw Agni and Soma talk. The prince tasted some of the curry and I heard him identity the culprit as curryma. It was a spice made to respond to the darkness in a person's heart. Soma seemed to share a heart to heart with Agni and soon he was helping Sebastian against the possessed crowd.

Ciel suddenly commanded Sebastian to feed the possessed crowd his bread and Sebastian began to feed them one by one. My eyes widened as the possessed people return to normal after curry bread was thrown onto their mouths. Even Mina was back to normal and she passed out due to exhaustion.

Later.

As expected Sebastian's curry won the contest and Ciel obtained the Royal Warrant. Mina ended up being taken into the Queen's custody and her servant promised she wouldn't be mistreated. Soma and Agni parted ways with us on good terms and they now viewed as friends. Soma also promised he would work on his fencing skills. Tomorrow we would be returning to the manor.

Sadie stayed to visit with Ciel for a bit before she headed home. Now everyone was asleep well except me. I couldn't bloody sleep and I had no idea why. Sometimes this tended to happen since I was half vampire and vampires didn't sleep at night. But I was also half human and I was getting annoyed.

Sebastian must have felt my annoyance through our mate bond because he came into our bedroom a minute later.

"Having trouble sleeping Little Dhampir?" my beloved asked.

"Yes and it's bloody annoying" I complained.

"When was the last time you had blood?" my husband asked coming to my side.

"Earlier this morning"

There always a human blood supply for me whenever I needed it. Sebastian took off a glove and felt my forehead.

"I'm not sick demon just very irritable" I growled.

"Just double checking" my beloved reassured. Then like lighting I grabbed his hand and my fangs elongated. An amused smirk came to my husband's lips. "It would seem you want my blood"

"I do but the choice is up to you husband" I responded.

"Then I'll satisfy your demands wife"

I released Sebastian's hand and watched as my mate undid his tailcoat. My eyes glowed with hunger thinking of the demon blood flowing through my mate's veins. Soon Sebastian wore nothing except black pants and he guided me onto his lap. His eyes glowed and he intertwined my hand into his.

Then he gave me access between his neck and shoulder area and I looked for a vein before finding the spot I wanted. My tongue licked his flesh before I pushed my fangs into him. A moan escaped my husband and he held my hair softly as I fed on his blood.

Demon blood was more delicious than human blood and I always enjoyed it's taste. It was stronger too and even feeding from on a demon's blood was considered intimate to them hence why Sebastian moaned. Eventually I had enough and I released my fangs from my mate's flesh. I licked his bite and it would heal by itself shortly.

"Are you less grumpy now Little Dhampir?" my mate asked.

"Very much so" I confirmed. I then yawned and I felt sleep coming to me.

Sebastian chuckled before laying me onto my back. He slid beside me and licked away the blood away from my mouth before claiming my lips into his. It was a gentle kiss and bloody hell I began to blush like an idiot. My hands explored his muscular arms and the rest of his well toned body. My husband snuck a hand underneath my gown and rubbed my thighs.

"Okay Romeo enough" I teased Sebastian after he released my lips.

"You were jealous of the human women fawning over me earlier weren't you?" the demon asked with a smirk.

"Hell yes I was your mine Sebastian" I growled. "And I don't share what belongs to me"

"Now you understand how I feel whenever Grell flirts with you"

"You got a point there" I agreed.

"And whenever he flirts with my wife I don't like it so in that case I too get jealous"

My husband then kissed my forehead before pulling my body into his.

"Sleep my love"

No sooner had he said that I was out like a light.
