Sebastion carries Michael down the hallway, stopping next to a light fixture. Sebastion pulls on the light fixture, revealing a hidden door and walks in quietly. He walks down the hidden hallway into a room of cells and sets Michael in the cell and chains his wrists to the wall, shutting the cell door and locking it, before walking out of the room quietly. Michael lays on the ground of the cell, passed out, as Sebastion walks out of the hidden room and down the hallway.
Talya runs back to the estate, realizing she left her family crest in Michael's room. She runs into Michael's room but doesn't see her crest anywhere. She looks around and notices that Michael isn't in the room, "Where did he go?" She sits down in the middle of the floor for a while before getting up and opening the door to the hallway, sneaking out, trying to figure out where Michael is. She walks down the hallway and stops to the side of Ciel's study; making sure the door isn't open before sprinting past it.
She continues down the hall, noticing that a light fixture was tilted slightly and the wall had a small opening. She pushes it open and slips inside quietly walking towards the hidden room. When she reaches the room and sees all the cells and notices Andrew sitting in the corner of the room. I should have looked before I came in. Andrew looks at her quietly before looking away. I slowly start to wake up, sitting up on the floor of the cell, holding my head lightly.
Talya walks down the rows of cells, looking in each, to see if I was there. Michael stood up quietly and walk towards the edge of the cell, trying to see who was coming. Talya walks into Michael's range of view, and he walks up to the bars of the cell. Talya notices him and walks over as he smiles weakly. "Why?...," she said, sighing and looking down. "You're in a cage."
Michael nods slightly, looking down, "I am." Talya snaps her fingers and the bars of the cell disappear. He looks up at the disappearance of the bars, and moves his hands across the space where the bars were, making sure they were really gone. Talya notices the chains and snaps her fingers, the chains dissolving into sand and she walks out of the hidden room, coming face to face with Ciel. Michael starts to walk after her slowly, stopping in his tracks as he sees Ciel, looking down immediately.
Talya looks Ciel in the eyes. Ciel glares, "You again?"
"I told you, I don't care what you say."
"Obviously," he said, walking past her to Michael, grabbing him by his neck, pulling him down the hallway. Talya grabs Ciel's arm, squeezing tight enough to hear his bone crack. Ciel looks back at her.
"Let him go."
"What I do with my son is my business; I believe I've told you this."
"It may not be mine, but it is the business of the council."
"This doesn't concern them."
"It does if you're dieing and basically killing your son because then your clan won't be around anymore; and that is the council's concern."
Ciel glares at her as Michael looks up at Ciel, "Y-you're dieing?" Ciel tightens the grip on Michael's neck and he winces slightly.
"They've already been talking about it and they have embassaries coming by in a week. I know you don't want to admit it but you know it's been coming for years now," she said, releasing his arm.
"I suggest you leave now."
"I'm just a messenger; if I were you I'd hope your heir wasn't in such a bad shape when they get her, because they will have a skills test for him."
"Leave now!" Ciel said as he pulled Michael down the hallway.
Talya looks at Michael worried before she disappears and reappears at a giant palace. She sighs and walks in; heading towards the council room. She walks in and tells the council what she saw and heard. The council members nod and three of them and their guards leave; heading towards the mansion.
Twenty minutes later, Michael is lying in his bed: his chest, left elbow, right hand, neck and right leg are bandaged with small Band-Aids in various other places, chained to the wall. As he is lying in his bed, someone knocks at the door. Michael looks over, confused. "Wh-who is it?"
Three council members open the door and walk in quietly. Michael sits up quickly, wincing as he holds his chest. They walk over to his bed and start to unchain him. "Come on, we will be taking you away from here."
"B-but I'm not allowed to leave."
"Your father can't stop us he has no right to." One of the guards picks him up. Michael looks at his father and then at the council member. He opens his mouth to say something, but changes his mind and looks down. "You will see your father again; but after you get healed and stronger." The council's guards take him away; back to the council's palace, while the council members talk with Ciel.
The guards set Michael down in a bed in an empty room and start to heal him. Michael looks down quietly. This is weird, what do I do?...
