Okay so you guys asked for a second chapter and here it is! Thanks Paxloria for giving me the idea about the reactions and stuuufff I put that into mind while I was writing this chapter. Also Awkward Chick, you will see that what I write down on paper is just and outline and what you read might be totally different than what I typed….sorry other people out of the loop, you have no idea what we are talking about, but honestly I don't think very many people read the authors note, I know I don't sooooo I'm going to get along with the story and stop boring you :DD
"My Lady, it's time to wake up." Yasu's voice stirred me from my deep sleep. I tighten my eyes hoping she would go away, but she just repeated her words a little more sternly. I was also hoping that my journey here and the engagement were just one big nightmare, but unfortunately it wasn't; I woke to dull blue-ish, gray curtains and dull furniture.
Yasu dressed me in English attire and tied a black velvet chocker around my neck like she always did, ever since I met her. My stomach made the noise of a dying whale, "Maybe it wasn't a good idea to skip dinner last night." I held my stomach looking down at it.
Yasu laughed slightly and helped me up, "Come, my lady, I will prepare you a big breakfast." Yasu led me down a case of stairs and into the dining room, she then disappeared into what I presume was the kitchen. Minutes later she returned with a large tray carrying all kinds of English foods, like scones, tea, and much more; she set the tray down in front of me and filled it with all kinds of things. I picked up my fork ready to dig in, but I stopped to think for a moment.
"Yasu, I'm going to have to get used to this way of life aren't I?" I asked twiddling my fork as I looked from the plate of food over to her.
"I'm sure it won't be as bad as you except it to be, my lady, if anything it may be a fun new experience for you and this man might be very nice and carrying." Yasu was trying to brighten my mood about being here, but I don't think all the tea in China could make me happy about being here. "You need to eat, my lady, today is going to be busy."
"Oh goody, sounds like fun." I huffed and went straight into eating and I have to admit it was pretty damn good. Then came a knock at the door that made me jump and Yasu looked up suspiciously.
3rd P.O.V. (The Night Before)
"Young Master, a letter from her majesty the Queen." Sebastian walked across the study over to the 15-year-old earl and placed the letter in his hands. Ciel took the letter from him and carefully opened it from the top; he carefully took out the neatly folded piece of paper and began to read:
"Dear Ciel Phantomhive,
A young princess from Cambodia has come seeking my help, after much thought and decision making, I have decided to help her and take over Cambodia. But for her to become a citizen here I need to marry her off to someone I can trust to keep a close eye on her. I have decided that you would be the perfect person to do that, since your engagement to Miss Milford ended. Her name is Shimabukro Chi Cambodia and she has a maid with her; she is staying in your home located here in London. We should have the wedding in just a few week from now, I will have a wedding planner handle most of the decision making, thought there will be some decisions you will have to make, but I will talk with you further on that later.
Sincerely
The Queen"
Ciel was quite shocked, but knew he couldn't refuse his Queen. If she wanted him married to this princess and to keep a close watch on her, then he would do in the name if his Queen. He began to construct a letter to his knew fiancé. Ciel quickly scribbled down as much as he could onto the piece of paper and folded it ever so neatly. After putting it into an envelope he called Sebastian in.
"Sebastian, take this to the two women staying in my house in London tomorrow morning." Ciel ordered handing Sebastian the letter.
"Yes, my lord, don't mind me asking, but why are there two women staying in your home in London?" Sebastian asked Ciel ever so slightly tilting his head, with the same grin he always wore plastered on his face.
"One of them is my new fiancé, declared by her majesty, and the other is her maid, they are staying there awaiting me to come and meet them and take them to their new home." Ciel explained to his butler dully.
"Oh a new fiancé, didn't you just end your other engagement with Lady Elizabeth?" Sebastian dropped his grin and looked at his master.
"Yes, I did, but we will no longer speak of that. Now go make sure everything is ready for her arrival." Ciel was getting slightly irritated.
Sebastian's smile returned on his face, "Yes, my lord."
Shima's P.O.V.
Yasu cautiously walked to the door and opened it slightly looking it out, once she saw who it was she opened it more. I strained to see who it was, from what I could see it looked like a really tall man dressed in black. Yasu and the man exchanged small talk and he handed her an envelope. She exchanges a few more words and closed the door. Yasu walked over to me with the letter in her hand.
"It's from your betrothed, My Lady." Yasu handed me the letter and I gently opened it.
Dear Lady Shimabukro,
I am sorry to say that I cannot stop by until tomorrow; today I have a very busy schedule. I cannot wait to meet you and start discussing the wedding plans the Queen wishes to marry us in just a few weeks prior to now. Tomorrow I will be stopping by around noon to see you and take you and your maid to your new home, here at my manor.
Sincerely,
Ciel Phantomhive
"He will be coming for us tomorrow." I told Yasu looking down into my lap. He sounded nice, but also it felt like he rushed it. 'Maybe he was just a busy man, and he wouldn't be at the manor a lot so then I wouldn't have to see him! Oh, that sounded cruel' I was having a small conflict with myself in my head.
"That's wonderful, milady, you can finally meet him, until then why don't today we go out and explore the city? It might help you get your mind off things; we can go right after breakfast." Yasu piped up happily.
"Yes that sounds like a good idea, but I'm not so hungry anymore; let's just go." I said pushing back my plate of food.
"Milady, you need to eat, you haven't had much to eat since we started this journey." Yasu looked at me with worried and stern eyes. I knew she was right, but at the moment I felt that if I were to eat I wouldn't be able to keep it all down.
"I know, Yasu, but I just don't feel too good. Let's just go explore the town." I pushed myself up from the table and flatted out my dress. Yasu sighed and picked up all the plates and went to the kitchen with them. I waited for her to finish cleaning up; when she returned we headed out the door. We went from shop to shop, candy stores, dress shops, fragrant shops, candle shops and fruit stands. There were all kinds of business here and a lot of people, too. I spotted a small child talking to his mother about the new Funtom toy company toys.
"Yasu, that's a Funtom toy store, let's go look inside." I leaned over and whispered to Yasu.
"Yes, milady." We walked across the street and into the toy store; there were all kinds of things: building blocks, stuffed animals, and pretty dolls. I quietly crept over to the display with cute bunny stuffed animals; it was wearing and eye patch, a vest, and a top hat.
"YASU!" I sort of whispered and sort of yelled.
"What is it, my lady?" Yasu appeared next to me and it made a shiver go up my spine.
I looked all around to make sure no one was listening, "I want you to go buy this for me." I said with the most serious face I could.
"My lady, are you still into the little stuffed creatures?" Yasu sighed at me and placed her hands on her temples.
"Why yes I am." I said matter of factly and huffed, "They are so very cute." I squealed.
Yasu sighed and laughed and took the bunny and bought it up at the front. After that she rushed it home and dropped the bunny off. The rest of the day went by quickly and a little too quickly for me.
I sighed as Yasu dressed me from bed, "He is going to be here tomorrow."
"Yes, milady, and that's why you need plenty of rest and a good, whole, breakfast tomorrow." Yasu scolded. I lay down in the bed and began to drift off to sleep.
When I got up the next morning I was still hoping this all would be a dream, but again I was proven wrong by the dull interior of the house. At breakfast I ate most of my food and then afterwards went upstairs to a room that over looked the town.
Right as the clock struck noon, I heard the front door open. "My lady, they are here." Yasu said opening the door. I got up and dusted myself of and took a deep breath, "Here goes nothing." We walked to the top of the stairs were I got my first glance at him. He couldn't have been, but a year or two older than I was and he had an eye patch covering up his right eye, but his other eye was the most beautiful shade of blue I had ever seen. Our eye(s) met and never broke as I descended down the steps. When I reached Ciel, he took my hand and kissed it, "Forgive me for saying this, but I didn't expect you to be so beautiful." Our eyes were still locked as he spoke, "Lady Shimabukro."
I could feel my face flush a shade of pink, "Thank you Earl Phantomhive, but please call me Shima."
He smiled slightly, "And you can call me Ciel."
I have a small feeling I may not mind being with him.
