**So, here is the next chapter. I decided to make it where Wynter's chapter takes place in the time before the gala and during the gala, much like Adrien's took place before the gala. Anyways, there will be another Wynter/Adrien P.O.V chapter after another that focuses mainly on all the characters. I hope you enjoy this chapter! Also, side note here, I don't believe I have introduce Elizabeth either so… ;)
Disclaimer: I do not own Kuroshitsuji or its characters. I make no money off of this.**
Wynter's P.O.V
I look around the kitchen, trying to find where Bard had hidden my latest creation. They say that I am an even bigger firebug than Bard himself and I take pride in that fact. I need to find it before we go to the Gala. You see, mother, because I REFUSE to call him Ciel, said that the Viscount Druitt will be there. I need some protection from that pedophile. Mother has told me stories about him and that is all I need to know, though I believe father would kill him before he got to me…
"Found it!" I said as I grabbed my flamethrower from the top shelf in the kitchen, thank goodness I am a demon otherwise I might have died trying to get to it!
"Wynter! Father and Ciel said that it is time to go. Where are you?" Adrien said from the doorway. I stick the flamethrower into my stocking and skip to the door, grabbing his arm.
"Adrien, I was just looking for something but I didn't find it. Is it really time to go? Amazing how fast time flies by. We should hurry and get back!" I take off running leaving a bewildered Adrien behind.
How women walk in these dresses and, for the love of all that is unholy, the corsets I am surprised that the streets aren't littered with the dead bodies of many women. I mean really, if it had gotten any tighter I could have sworn my guts were going to come spilling out of my head!
I sigh as I see father and mother standing by the door. What Adrien said about mind over matter really helped me. I can actually look at them without thinking about… oh crap… the sounds is back. I can feel my face blush as I walk past them and to the carriage that is awaiting us with Tanaka at the front. I get in and take a seat and soon, Adrien is sitting beside me with a book. That is actually not a bad idea, too bad I forgot to grab a freaking book.
I sigh and place my cheek into my hand and close my eyes.
Shortly after, or so it seemed to me, father woke me up and announced that we were almost to the palace. This would be the first time Adrien and I have seen it so of course we were very excited but in the carriage ahead of us was the one person that I had only hear stories about. Elizabeth Midford and Francis stepped out with the assistance of Alexis and Paula. They walked towards the door but Elizabeth was stopped by a certain blonde haired brat by the name of Alois Trancy.
I smile wickedly as my hand inches towards the flamethrower, yet, I am caught by father.
"Wynter, what are you hiding?" He asks. I look up at him innocently and smile.
"Nothing but a small present for our kind friend Alois and his butler, father." I say and hop out of the carriage as it stops.
Adrien sighs but follows me and we stand outside the carriage looking at the castle in awe. It was elegant and large, they could easily get lost in this building.
Sebastian put his hand on mine and Adrien's shoulders, "Be on the lookout you two. There will be some very strange people here and they will also be asking many questions but try to control your temper as well. I don't want to be cleaning up any blood by the end of the night. Also, Wynter, leave the little surprise for Alois and Claude until AFTER the party." He let go and took Ciel's arm and walked towards the door.
Adrien held his arm out to me and I took it as we followed behind Mother and Father. Though we may act insane and quiet at home, we know how to behave in public. I highly doubt that anyone would believe that we are only about nine months old, in truth, I think that the whole demon's aging quickly only applies to certain combinations of demons seeing how mother was short up until he had us.
The door man looks at mother and father in shock before letting us all in. of course, we also know that a male 'sleeping' with another male and making an appearance in public together is against society rules and shall greatly tarnish our family name on the surface world, in hell mother and father are greatly respected because they are not letting this control them. They deal with it head on and that is one of the reasons I love my family.
We walk down an empty hallway to a set of doors at the end. I can hear music from behind the doors and mother and father smile at us before opening the doors. A bright light engulfs their figures as we step inside.
Words cannot describe the scene that we were met with. People were dancing and chatting in a huge room that was decorated in deep browns, oranges, and yellows, all the colors of the upcoming harvest festival held on the 23 of the ninth month. It was truly beautiful. I looked at mother and father and they were discussing something so I took Adrien's hand and pulled him out onto the dance floor.
Though Adrien hates dancing, like mother, he is an exceptional dancer. He is quick on his feet and when we dance it is like we share one mind. We know what the other is going to do before they do it and that is what makes us such great dance partners.
The orchestra begins to play the waltz and we bow before taking each other's hands and beginning the dance. As we danced people stopped to watch and by the time we finished people were clapping for us. We bowed once more and walked back to where mother and father were standing.
I did not realize that someone had caught sight of my dress.
"Oh look at her dress! It is so cute!" I heard the shout before I felt the hands. Time froze right then as I turned and saw that it was Elizabeth, who was now staring right at mother.
"Ciel? I thought you were sick?" She said.
Mother cleared his throat, "Ah…Lizzy…about that."
"Ciel Phantomhive! How dare you show your face here without informing your fiancé?" Francis Midford shouted, walking towards him.
Sadly, my mouth speaks before my brain can process the information, "Why would my mother have to tell you anything that he doesn't wish to inform you about?"
I feel the eyes on me, even as the blush spreads on my face. I look down at my feet.
"How dare you say that? Do you even know who you are speaking about little girl? Go find your parents!" Francis said, turning back to mother and father.
I feel the tears burning in my eyes and my hand itches for the cool metal of the flamethrower in my stocking as I inch myself to fathers side. I grab his pant leg, "Father, who is she and how does she know mother?"
Father smiles down at me while mother covers his face and Elizabeth and Francis look from me to father, "Why Wynter, this is Lady Francis Midford and Lady Elizabeth Midford. Ciel's aunt and cousin, also, Ciel's e-fiancé."
Mother glares at father then, "S-Sebastian!"
Elizabeth looks at Sebastian then at Ciel, "I-is that t-true Ciel?"
Adrien steps forward, "Ah, I hate to see people cry, especially females. Please do not cry, it was not you who is at fault but it is more like Ciel's lineage that is at fault."
I watch as Francis crosses her arms and takes a closer look at the boy. He is almost an identical copy of Ciel yet he has fathers smirk and eyes. Understanding dawns on her face, "Ciel, are these two children…yours?"
Elizabeth looks at him in shock, "It cannot be true! How could you have children that are a good five or six years of age when you yourself are only fourteen?"
Mother sighs, "It shall be simpler if I explain it to you all at once instead of individually. Wynter, take your brother and go dance some more."
I nod and pull Adrien after me, a thing to which he sighs at. I smirk and we begin a second dance. Shortly after we hear a glass chime from above and look up. There is the Queen, we all bow, and standing beside her is mother and father.
The Queen steps up to the edge, "I shall like to announce that the Earl Phantomhive is getting married."
People mumble out their congrats before they are stopped yet again, "Let me finish. He is marrying not Lady Elizabeth Midford but his butler, Sebastian Michaelis."
This is when I hear people shouting about what a scandalous act this is.
"Two men cannot marry! It is not right!"
"How can the Queen allow such an act to take place!"
She silences them, "This is something that I hold no control over and shall let Earl Phantomhive tell about himself. Ciel." She steps back and mother steps forward looking down at them all. It seems they had long since gotten used to the ears and tail.
"Yes, yes, I know, how can we be getting married and such but seeing how you pitiful humans cannot comprehend what I am about to say, I may as well go right ahead with it. I am Prince Ciel Phantomhive of Hell and Sebastian is my mate. The marriage is already in motion and since this isn't something that the Queen can control you shall all have to deal with this as the fact that I do not quite care what you all think of me. Through the years you all think I have not heard the comments about the ears or the tail but I have come to find that they are actually the marks of me being a young and inexperienced demon. Seeing how I have much to learn, father has allowed me to stay here for a little while longer to get, how shall I put it, my ducks in a row. If any of you try to commit harm unto me, my mate, or my children I shall kill you myself. Do you all understand?" I had never seen my mother look so cold. It seems that when it came to family he was extremely overprotective.
I heard footsteps walk up behind me, "Ah, and Ciel, would your two children happen to be these two here?"
I feel myself get pulled back along with Adrien and I turn around and glare right into the eyes of Alois Trancy.
Mother smirks at him, "Ah, Alois, you know, it seems that Wynter has a little present for you. Wynter, you may continue with what you had in mind."
I smile evilly and reach under my dress and grab the mini flamethrower and point it at him, "Thank you mother. You know Alois, since you showed your face at our house last time I have been working on this. Though I am only, technically, nine months old I have surpassed Bardaroy in the range of pyrotechnics. I was able to build this hand held flamethrower in only about an hour. It was most difficult to get the supplies though. Now, I truly hope that you will leave our family alone or I will test this out on you and your butler."
I smirk as Alois backs up a few inches before laughing and soon enough the flamethrower is snatched out of my hands by Claude. As he dances away though we feel a surge through the air, making many people shiver but me to smile widely, "Grandfather is here!"
A portal appears behind me and I turn to await grandfather. He steps through the portal and smiles while people gasp.
"Vincent Phantomhive?"
"I-It's V-Vincent Phantomhive!"
"I thought he had died in the fire years ago?"
Grandfather raised his hand and silenced everyone, "I have come to get my son and his family. We have much to discuss. Where are they at?"
I run up to him and hug him, "Grandfather!"
Adrien sighs and walks forward to pull me off of Grandfather, "Wynter, keep your cool please, we are still in public."
I sigh and back off as Mother and Father Step forward, "Father, it is good to see you. I am guessing that the arrangements have been made?"
I see him nod and he winks at me from the corner of his eye, "Yes, they have been made. Now, all we have left are a few small details that I must discuss with you and Sebas-"
"Wait! Who are you and why do you look like Vincent Phantomhive?" I turn and see that this came from Francis.
Grandfather smiled at her, "Ah, Francis, it seems that mother and father never told you that I showed up one day and that we were never really related it seems. I look like Vincent because this is one of the forms that I chose to take. Though, I guess the appropriate word to call me would be Satan. I don't mind, whichever you wish to call me. Now come you four. We have things to prepare."
I step into the portal and disappear only to reappear back at the house and soon I am followed by everyone else. Mother frowns as we appear in his office.
He looks at me, "Wynter, may I borrow that flamethrower for a moment?"
I raise an eyebrow but hand it over to him. Mother opens the window and kicks the desk out, lighting it on fire in mid-air.
Mother sighs in relief, "That is much better but I will soon need a new desk. Also, father, next time you and Grell get together, don't do so on top of my desk if you don't mind."
I start to laugh, doubling over from the force of it while Mother frowns at the fact his favorite desk was now gone.
Yes, just a normal day in my life…
