Thankss guys for the much needed support on this story! I love getting feedback. I have a few of you that have been following and reviewing the story since I started and I can't thank you enough and truth be told, I honestly think this is my worst writing ever: 33 only because I haven't really planned it out and I'm going off of ideas on the top of my head, so it means a lot that you guys are sticking around to read the next chapter, it makes me want to continue writing the story. So again thank you and now to get on with the story! Oh also et12356 I actually have plans for Yasu and Sebastian, but I don't wanna spoil them XDDDD ANND once last thing, please know that I try very hard to keep all the characters in character, but it's very hard to do that so I'm very sorry if there is some OOC, okay now I'm done(:

"See, my lady, today wasn't so bad, it could have gone a lot worse." Yasu said and she began to dress me in my night gown. I sighed as she buttoned up the front.

"Ciel is an interesting; he will definitely keep me on my toes. What about you, what was your day with Sebastian like?" I asked, Yasu walked me over and sat me down in a chair across from a vanity and I kicked my legs as Yasu brushed my hair.

"It was like any other day, except in a new house, with new people, and a second master. I'm not used to it, so when Sebastian was talking to himself about all the meals and the details I kept correcting him; I had kept forgetting that he works for Ciel and not you, milady." Yasu laughed remembering her story and I joined her in laughing.

After we were done laughing, I again sighed, "Your so used to ordering around the people at the palace that your still not used to me not being in charge anymore." I said with a sad smile.

"Milady, I know it's hard on you, but just think now that the queen in ruling over Cambodia your people will have the things they need and it's not your fault; you're only fourteen years-old and you weren't even married, you had to do it all on your own, you shouldn't have had to do that at your age, so it is by no means your fault. You hadn't even finished your lessons in ruling an empire." Yasu gave me a stern yet gentle look.

"Thank you, Yasu, but still I wish I was able to prove to myself that I could do it on my own and that I didn't need anybody's help. I guess in the end it really doesn't matter what I feel, so long as my people are happy, it doesn't matter how feel." I got up from the chair, walked over to the bed and got in. "I'm going to bed, please turn out the lamp."

I heard Yasu sigh, "Yes, milady."

The next morning after Yasu dressed me in grey dress with a high collar and long sleeves, I went downstairs to join Ciel for breakfast. When I entered the dining room Ciel was already there waiting with a plate of food in front of him and a plate of food sitting in front of and empty chair, which I'm guessing is a hint for me to sit next to Ciel. I took my place in the empty chair next to Ciel, "Good morning, Lady Shima how was your room? I assume everything was to your liking and you found the clothes I supplied in your wardrobe." Ciel greeted.

"Good morning, Lord Phantomhive, and yes it was quite comfortable; the room is very nice and so are the clothes, thank you." I smiled over to him.

"Lady Shima, I've already asked of you to please just call me Ciel and I'm glad to hear that everything went smoothly last night. After breakfast we can go dress shopping for tonight's ball." At first Ciel was giving me a hard stare, and then broke into a small slightly awkward smile.

Ciel's P.O.V.

I was somewhat glaring as Shima as I replied to her, then I remembered what Sebastian told me last night after she left for bed.

*flashback*

"Young Lord, you must try to be gentle and kind with Lady Shima, Yasu has told me that she has had a very rough time moving here. It would be nice of you to show her that she is welcome here and that she is safe here. You should know how she feels; she just lost her parents not to long ago." Sebastian lectured me.

"Yes I know, Sebastian, I guess I could keep that in mind when we go out tomorrow." I yawned at the end of sentence and stretched out a bit.

"Let's get you to bed, master." Sebastian smiled walking me out of my study.

*End flashback*

Shima seemed a bit shocked as I smiled at her, now even though I hate to admit it to myself she truly was beautiful; she was unlike any other girl I had ever seen before. I had also realized I didn't know much about her and she was so shy it seemed like. I knew I had to somehow break her of it; and today presented the perfect opportunity.

Shima's P.O.V.

After breakfast, like planned, the four of us headed out to the streets of London to look for a dress. The first dress shop we tried was just too over the top for me, too many pink and frilly dresses, the second shop was okay though nothing really caught my eye, and it was the third one where we found some really good dresses. I had tried on a few blue ones, green ones, and lilac ones, but it wasn't until the store clerk came to me with an amethyst colored gown that I felt confident about trying it on. It had long sleeves, a low cut, the front went straight down, and the back went down in four layers. The cuffs and neckline where made with black lace and the front showed the crisscrossing lines of the corset. "It's perfect." I breathed out, taking in a large breath and slowly letting it out. I walked out to where the others were waiting patiently for me to choose a dress, "This is the dress I've chosen." I came out with a large smile on my face.

"Milady, you look beautiful!" Yasu gave me a sweet smile.

"You look very eloquent, Lady Shima." Sebastian had that same Cheshire grin on his face.

"You're perfect." Ciel said softly, with a gaping mouth and wide eyes, once he realized what he said, he then said, "I mean it's perfect." He cleared his throat and I also caught a slight blush gracing his cheeks.

I began to blush madly, "Do you guys like it that much?"

"Young master, it might be hard keeping others away from her tonight, no doubt all the men will want to talk to her." Sebastian laughed turning to Ciel, which made Ciel and me blush even harder.

"Well they will have to get throw me first." Ciel mumbled, which caused the rest of us to laugh. I had a feeling that tonight, might be really interesting.

I had no idea how 'interesting' the night was going to be.
