Wow I think this is the fastest updates I've had since I first posted this story and I just had to do it because of last chapter's reviews. I loved the comments that you guys left and just thought what would happen in next chapter then wallah there you have this lovely chapter. Last chapter probably gave me a favorite group reviews, cause seeing simple questions are still loved but I get excited and my mind starts whiring for the next chapter. This is an achievement for me this month, I haven't updated like this since like June or July. Thank you guys and I hope you stay till the end.
Disclaimer: I don't own a thing except for my plot and my characters.
Jones was working me to the bone right now with combat training right now it was me against him and Ignatius. I was becoming more and more exhausted with both of them hovering above while I was in a terrain. I gave heavy pants trying to compose myself before another round of attacks. I started thinking for a while and thought back to last night.
" So you got out because of a mistake your parents made and you came back because..." I said drawling out the s. He looked towards me as I saw a small tug on his lips.
" I have you with me."
I felt my cheeks heat up just remembering him say that to me. Why should he even say that to me it's not like he really likes me. It's all because of this stupid contract on my left eye. If I didn't have it he might have left me on a street corner her in hell and let me be eaten by those lower ranking buffoons.
Ignatius just threw a disintegrating spell right next to me as I hear him call out, " Hey Cerulean, pay more close attention!" I groaned as I heard another explosion in the training grounds.
" Hey I didn't hear you were having a bomb party Ciel I wanna join in on the fun!" I heard a feral growl as I saw Alfred move from the sky and drop somewhere behind me.
" Porcupine!" He growled out. I heard a collision from behind me as Ignatius landed next to me with a sigh.
" It looks like today's combat lesson will be cut short today Ciel." Ignatius said as I turned to look and saw Axel and Jones fighting with one another. " Why don't we start on your casting spells instead I think you'll like this one better than combat. I've read into your records and since you are a nobleman I think this is much more easier to master for now." Ignatius said as we headed back into their home as the two rumbled.
Three hours later I'm back at Head Quarters after the session with Ignatius and he was right about this one being easier than combat. Right now I was doing paperwork, so far just with the three hours with Ignatius I was able to get more done than combat. I was looking over a proposal for a new building in the fourth ring, when someone burst through my door again. I rolled my eyes since I was used to the two. I didn't look up as I continued reading the was probably Roxanne cause Axel was still fighting Jones when I last left him. She probably go lonely and wanted someone to talk to.
" Roxanne, why don't you just go play with Des for a while I'm busy. Besides I thought you'd be with Demitri." I sighed. I heard someone take a sharp intake of breath.
" You're close to Roxy and Demi!" the voice said. I looked to see That Thing at my doorway. I frowned and put my papers down.
" Can I help you with anything?" I sighed in frustration. Her eyes went wide and rushed towards my desk slamming her hands on it as she glared at me. "Excuse me but I'd rather that you didn't ruin my perfectly good desk thank you very much." I said making her more pissed.
" Where is Sebastian." She growled. I pushed her off my desk.
" If you're here for Sebastian then why are you in my office?" I asked.
" This is suppose to be Sebastian's desk when he's home." She said. I looked at her with a confused look. " No this is my office, Sebastian's is somewhere else you crazy bat." I stated.
" Now if you must GET OUT OF MY OFFICE!" I yelled at her. She stepped back for a second before she came back towards me as I shoved her with a spell that Ignatius just taught me. I started a paralyzer in my hand as I looked at her again with my eyes glowing.
" Are you going to get out or what slut." I growled towards her getting ready to send it at her. She bared her fangs as she started her own spell.
" The hell is going on here!" someone yelled. We looked towards the doorway to see Benjamin.
" Benny!" She cried out. " Benny this thing is trying to attack me!" She called out.
" Benjamin what the hell is she doing in my office? How the hell does even know where this is the damn place changes every damn hour!" I questioned. He looked towards her and back to me.
"Of course he'd attack you Rowina, this is his office he has the right to try and kill you since you're invading his space." He said towards the girl. She looked shock before standing on her feet. He stepped into the room between me and Rowina.
" How the hell is this his office this is Sebastian's!" She huffed.
" Not anymore, Sebastian let him have his office. My brother thought it'd be a nice gift to present him once he's here to make him comfortable while they stay at HQ." He explained. Sebastian came into the room with an annoyed look on his face.
" He's right, now Rowina leave immediately. You're stressing him out. Vladimir please escort her out of the room." Sebastian said as I felt him standing next to me when he put his hand on my shoulder I felt what he meant as my shoulders relaxed. I sat back into my chair with my arms and legs crossed. Rowina growled and stormed out of my office with Vladimir trailing behind. Sebastian looked back towards me with a worried look on his face.
" I'm fine nothing happened. " I sighed messaging my temples." Now would you please stop hovering over me I'm not a defenseless child." I stated looking away from him.
" Ciel, Rowina might not be doing something now, but I've known her for a very long time and she's even more dangerous than you think." He warned. I just rolled my eyes and moved back towards my work. " Ciel do not brush this off so simply my lord. Rowina is someone not to be taken lightly. Ciel, please I need you to be careful when around her and you can not be provoked by her. And above all don't believe a single thing she says please Ciel. I need to know that whatever comes out of her mouth you won't believe her." He asked turning my head towards him as he knelled down to my eye level. I saw worry behind his wine colored eyes, worry, caution, hope, awe, and something else that I haven't seen before. It made me suspicious.
" Sebastian why are you speaking like this?" I questioned. He cupped my face in his hands as he brushed my cheeks with his thumbs.
" I'm gonna be leaving for a while, it won't be long but I'm afraid something might happen to you while I'm not here." He said.
" What are you talking about?" I asked.
" I must accompany my sister Hanna with her on her new mission and I must make preparations for an event that is to happen later, I don't know what it is since my mother was the one who planned it, but I have to do it apparently. I won't be gone long, I will return before my parents leave in three weeks time. I was alright with it before with leaving you here with my siblings since they could stay with you while I'm gone, but with Rowina here it's unsettling." He said giving an exasperated sigh.
" Sebastian, if that is all your worried about then I will be alright here with the rest of your family. Don't think so little of me." I said feeling my body move on it's own as I placed a hand on top of one of Sebastian's.
" How can I not worry when you're prone to being kidnapped and in other sorts of trouble my lord." He smirked. I rolled my eyes.
" you seem to doubt your own family." I said. He just looked at me with a deadpanned look on his face meaning he did, very much. Either way he just seemed to take that as he got up and started heading for the door.
" Very well then, oh and tonight we will be dining with my family." He informed me. " I don't trust anyone else with you Ciel." I heard him whisper to himself as he left. I looked at the doorway feeling a tightness in my chest.
Later that day Roxanne came in with Demitri behind her in her usual way of course an explosion to my door and a smiple smile.
" So are you ready for dinner with the family again Ciel?" Demitri asked. I nodded my head.
" No Tri this is a formal event we're going to. It might be at the castle but we have to be dressed up. All of father and mother's advisers will be there along with some of the other noble families of the Demonic Court." Roxanne explained.
" Wait Sebastian never told me about this, he only said this was a dinner with the family." I told them.
" It is, it's the extended family, very extended. Lets say in anything happened to the seventeen of us, then the next highest in court become the next rulers. Which is usually the best fighters. Meaning it will be Ignatius and Jones, but then again the two want nothing with power so, they're just going to end up holding a competition to who becomes the next King of Hell. Honestly thoguh most of them can't wait for us to drop dead." Roxanne explained as we teleported to her home. It was easy to teleport after one and a half weeks here with magical training.
" If they just want everyone to be killed then why don't they try?" I asked. Roxanne and Demitri smiled as they went through Roxanne's large closet.
" As we are young they do try." Demitri started as he brought out a couple outfits. " Everyone of us, when we were younger they would try to come and either do two things. One is the obvious to kill us and the other thing is they come to try kidnap us to become one of their pawns. They did that to Salem and Claude from what I've from Lorenzo." Demitri said.
" Befre we get any further a little lesson for a moment, Ciel. There's two groups of my parents children One group of the older six and the younger seven. The older half grew up together since my parents had children every two years. Every two years because it takes a month to conceive, nine to twelve months to bare, and eleven to let the child be strong enough to get around on it's own. After Lorenzo my parents decided to slow their pace on having kids so between the seven of us the shortest age gape is twenty years which is between Axel and Sebastian. The age gape between Sebastian and Lorenzo is fifty. " Roxanne explained as she was behind a dressing screen and put on an off the shoulder bright red gown with black over lace that was tight on her body showing all her curves with a slit on the side that went to the top of her thigh with a matching pair of black gloves.
" Okay, well since the first grew up so close to one another and aging takes a while for us, if we choose so which they did, they were close. Lorenzo, Dante, Cyril and Stephan were training with Ignatius and Jones. Salem and Claude were relaxing in the library reading. When they went to look for them they were gone. It took a week to find them again, both were in shock and it took a while for them to go back to how they were before. When they were back to themselves Salem seemed to have been affected by different spells to take his powers. That's how come he has a young form his powers are limited. Dante became over protective over everyone after that, especially Salem. Claude he well he became distant from everyone. To me he's always been that way but Lorenzo says he used to be such a close brother." Demitri said as he himself came out in tight black trousers, loose black shirt, black gloves and a red cavart.
" Put it on." Roxanne said. I looked at them questioningly.
" I'm not putting on a dress. Remember I'm a boy." I reminded.
" Yeah but you were dressed as a girl when you came back." Demitri stated. I nodded my head.
" Only because that was my alias and the portal opened right after we retrieved Bellatrix." I said. Roxanne rolled her eyes as she pulled out a different set of clothes. The two forced me out of my clothes and into a red ensemble consisting of short red shorts, black shirt that was open at the front with hem and sleeves ruffled, black socks that went bellow my knees, and red boots. They made me put on a red hat with roses and ribbons, gloves that ended in the middle of my palm and added a sort of black ruffed train behind me that went to the floor.
" Alright now we're ready to go." Roxanne said as she and Demitri each taking my arms as we teleported to their parents house. We were in a sort of parlor where Sebastian and the rest of his siblings were already waiting along with Claude and Alois who left for a mission after the first dinner.
" Wonderful now we're all here most of the guests have already arrived and now it's time we make our appearance and heard our guest into the dining room." Lily said as soon as she saw the three of us. " Ciel I want you to be with Sebastian the entire time tonight. I don't want to have an incident with one of the guest since you are new." Lily instructed I nodded my head as we moved towards the double doors. I looked to see a lot of other demons they all look like humans but with different features. Among them were Ignatius and Jones, not to mention the hag stalking Sebastian. She looked up and when she saw Sebastian she waved towards him. He just shrugged her off when I felt an arm go around my waist as he pulled me closer making her eyes burn in rage and jealousy.
" Guests now that we are here it's time we started dinner shall we?" Lucifer said as we all moved towards the dining area. Dinner was very stuffy but then again I was used to this since I myself was a noble back on earth.
We were about to move on to desert when Lucifer stood at the head of the table.
" My friends it's very good to have you all here and I' m happy to say that we are finally complete. My seventh child and second to the throne after Astarot, Abbadon has returned and I'm sure he would like to have a few words." Lucifer motioned towards to Sebastian as he stood up while Lucifer sat back down.
" Honored guests, It's a pleasure to be home here in Hell and it will be an honor to work with you all once more. For now though I have an announcement to make."
Oh my gosh what is Sebastian gonna saym, hmmm I wonder...wait I already know. The rest of you are just gonna have to see what it is and what are the reactions he's going to get.
Dang this has got to be one of my biggest chapters yet. I'm so excited to see what you guys think about it. I just hope this satisfies you all and can't wait to see feedback.
