"Oh, my! You weren't supposed to see that! Now what am I going to tell the young master?" Sebastian said. Lizzy couldn't take all of this in. Everything went black. Thud.
"… And then I tried to knock out the memory out of her," Sebastian explained to Ciel as they looked down at Lizzy, sleeping in the bed she usually sleeps in when she visits the Phantomhive manor.
Ciel shook his head. "I don't think you should have done that. And you should have been more gentle, it looks like she's hurt."
Sebastian nodded as he went over to the windows and closed the curtains. "Lizzy deserves a little rest. Her head must be hurting her." Sebastian slowly walked over to the young master and put a hand on his shoulder. "Let us go now, she should get her rest," Sebastian said with a smile.
Ciel nodded as the two began to exit the room. Just as they were about to exit the room, Sebastian snapped his fingers and all the light in the room went out. Ciel looked back at his sleeping fiancé. He felt his face shape into a look of worry for the Sleeping Beauty.
"Sebastian, what if you hit her too hard? Why did you even hit her? Couldn't you have altered her memory with your demon powers?" Ciel kept asking with a worried tone. Sebastian could tell Ciel's genuinely worried for Lizzy.
"It's not that simple, Young Master. If it was that easy, they wouldn't be dead," Sebastian indicated to those in the room. Ciel nodded in agreement. All this wouldn't be happening if Sebastian could have just whipped their memories. The sun was starting to set outside, which meant Sebastian should get started on dinner. That damn cook, Baldroy, isn't worth trusting for dinner, so he should get started.
"Young Master, I'm going to go get started on tonight's dinner. We shall be having Beef Donburi with a sacred wine from a small village in Moldova. Will that suit your taste for tonight?" Sebastian smiled.
Ciel nodded. "That sounds fine, go get started," Ciel said, waving his hand at Sebastian as they arrive at Ciel's study room.
Sebastian bowed. "Yes, my lord."
Ciel sat at his desk, resting his chin on his elbow, leaning towards the window. He occasionally blinked a few times as his eyes follow the lazy, orange sun as it sets in the horizon. What if she lost too much of her memory? He shook his head. No, that's not possible. He's perfect! Ciel felt his cheeks warm up at that thought. He quickly shook his head to forget about that. No, this isn't about Sebastian! Lizzy… He kept staring out his window.
There was a knock at his door. "Young master, dinner will be ready soon. Would you like for me to go check up on Lady Elizabeth?" Sebastian asked through the door. Ciel jumped out of his seat.
"I'll come with you," Ciel said hastily. He walked over to the door and opened the door. Sebastian's hand was on the other side of the handle. He looked a bit shocked, as if he was going to open the door as well. The two of them sort of started at each other for a while, both noticing a little rosiness glowing slightly on each other's cheeks.
Ciel cleared his throat, letting go of the door handle. "Ahem… Shall we be going now?"
"W-why yes, Young Master," the butler said as he bowed. The two of them walked down the halls in silence, turning the corners slowly, until they finally reached the destination. Sebastian slightly cut in front of Ciel and opened the door for him.
Inside, Lizzy was still asleep. Ciel and Sebastian crept into the dark room, being illuminated by a single candlestick, being held by Sebastian. Lizzy seemed to be waking up, for she seemed to have shifted a little.
"Ngh…" Lizzy groaned as she sat up in the bed, holding her head as she looks up to the only light source illuminating the room. "Aah, Ciel? What time is it?" Lizzy mumbled while rubbing her head. Her eyes shifted from Ciel to Sebastian. She had a slight look of confusion. "And who is this tall, young man standing next to you? A new butler Uncle Vincent and Auntie Rachel hired?"
