~ Previously ~
"That demon who competed with Sebastian for Siera's hand…I have a bad foreboding that he isn't done yet" Samuel said sighing. Kayla frowned.
"Don't frown and destroy that pretty face of yours" Samuel said smiling and straightening out her frown. Kayla sighed,
"Tell me the entire story Samuel" she said a slight frown lighting her face. The twins sat cross legged next to them their faces serious.
"Well…"
~ Currently ~
-The next morning at the Phantomhive mansion-
The morning at Phantomhive mansion was not a good one for Ciel. He sighed as he thought of the previous evening while lying on his bed.
~ Previous evening ~
"Sebastian come to me right now" Ciel said looking annoyed at repeating the command for a third time.
He waited for about 3 minutes before losing his cool.
"It's an order: Sebastian come to me right now" he said his right purple eye glowing.
Sebastian arrived at the mansion and hurried to the study five seconds late.
"Where were you and why are you late?" Ciel questioned looking extremely annoyed.
"I apologize Bocchan I should have taken permission before leaving but this was an emergency" Sebastian said bowing.
"What emergency" Ciel questioned raising an eyebrow.
"A ceremony for deciding a mate" he said still standing bowed.
"A mate?"
"Yes the Meito Ceremony. I was a candidate and participated for winning Siera's hand" he said. Ciel had an amused smile on his face.
"Who was the other candidate" he asked. Sebastian kept his face blank.
"Claude Faustus" he said.
"I see. Stand straight and tell me who won the ceremony" he said sitting cross-legged.
"I did" he said his usual smile on his face. Ciel huffed.
"Why Bocchan did you expect me to lose?" he questioned an amused smirk on his face. Ciel looked annoyed,
"Like you would lose to him. You must have put in more effort than usual since it was clear you loved Siera" he said looking disinterested.
"It was clear?" Siera's voice interrupted the conversation. Ciel smirked and nodded as she entered the room.
"I'm surprised you were dense enough not to notice it" he said enjoying the flushed face Sebastian had.
"I don't understand Bocchan" Siera said raising an eyebrow.
"Try to remember the day when Alois had come to my house for dinner and Claude tried to hit on you. Did you see how quick he was to move when he realized Claude had taken a liking for you? He was smiling like an idiot when he came to dress me for sleep that night" Ciel said rolling his eyes. Siera was blushing,
"Mama see I told you nee san can actually blush" Kiki's voice interrupted,
"What a surprise" Kayla said
"Stop teasing nee san already you two" Kimi said.
"My my everyone is so energetic today eh" Samuel said grinning.
Ciel sat dumbfounded.
"Who are these people and why are they in my room?"
Siera looked embarrassed, "sorry Bocchan. This is my family. My dad Samuel, my mom Kayla and my two brothers Kiki and Kimi" she introduced.
Ciel became more and more annoyed at each introduction.
"Together we make the Great Five" Siera finished. Ciel's eye sparked with interest.
"The Great Five? You five are a family?" he questioned. Siera nodded.
Ciel took turns to see each of the other demons comprising of the Great Five.
"They look pretty normal to me I can't believe either of them are the strongest of your kind but then again even you don't look like you are very strong. Took me a while to believe that it was you who got that sword into your hand" Ciel said completely overlooking the tension his words were creating within the family.
"Siera…what sword is he talking about" Kayla asked her voice piercing. Siera panicked and turned white. Samuel sighed.
"T-t-t-the L-L-Laevatinn M-Mama" Siera said her voice breaking and stammering.
Kayla, Kiki and Kimi had their eyes wide.
"Ne-nee san…" Kimi said looking a bit pale. Siera sighed,
"No I didn't really use it. Claude was using the sword in an attempt to kill Sebastian and I acted instinctively. I held out my hand and the Laevatinn appeared in my hand. I did nothing with it I promise" she said looking solemn.
"What she says is true. I was about to intervene when the sword appeared in her hand but the two young boys leaving the observation stand caught her eye and she dropped the sword. She did nothing" Samuel said looking grim.
Ciel raised an eyebrow.
"Why is it a problem if you use that sword? What's so special about it?" Ciel questioned.
"It's just that I had a particular incident involving my family with that sword" Siera said looking at Ciel, who had his curiosity further increased,
"What incident?" he questioned. Siera sighed and shook her head and was about to reply when,
"Please don't pry into our family's secrets" Kiki interjected. Ciel looked annoyed.
"She is a demon contracted to me and I questioned her. I don't believe you have right to interject" he said his voice authoritative.
"Why y-"
"Kiki" Siera said looking at him her eyes sharp. Kiki immediately quietened down tightening his fists.
"Bocchan I know you're curious but I'm afraid I can't reveal it. I hope you understand" Siera said her voice firm. Ciel looked at her and nodded sighing.
"Fine but I can't tolerate your brother questioning me even if he is a part of the Great Five or your brother. I am your master and you are my contracted demon. Tell him to contain himself" he said.
Kiki and Ciel glared at each other neither willing to back down. Sebastian looked at Kiki and shook his head. Kiki looked angry; Siera sighed and gave him a soft pat on his head.
"It's ok Kiki. I can look after myself alright?" she said smiling at him. Kiki nodded looking a bit calmer.
Siera turned to Ciel and flashed her brightest smile.
"Bocchan can my family stay with us here in the mansion please?" she asked extra sweetly. Ciel looked dumbfounded and he was about to refuse when he noticed Sebastian's stare. He sighed rubbing his forehead.
"Alright" he said sighing. Siera brightened,
"Thank you Bocchan" she said giving him a kiss on his cheek.
"Come on you all Sebastian has to dress Bocchan. I'll show you all your rooms" she said ushering the others out of the room.
Sebastian smirked at Ciel's pink face.
"My my Bocchan are you blushing?" he questioned an amused smirk on his face.
"Tch just dress me up quickly I want to sleep" he said looking away.
-Back to the present-
"I wonder what troublesome people they are" he thought to himself as he sat up stretching.
"Sebastian" he said stretching his sore muscles.
"Good morning Bocchan" Sebastian answered Ciel nodded used to his quick appearances once summoned.
"Let's get you changed Bocchan" Sebastian said smiling Ciel nodded.
Ciel was soon ready and the Master servant duo soon reached the dining hall.
Siera was setting up the plates and placing forks, knives and spoons next to each plate.
"Ah good morning Bocchan" Siera said smiling when she noticed Ciel and Sebastian coming down to the dining.
"Ah good morning" Ciel replied.
The two walked towards the dining table. Sebastian pulled Siera in for a quick kiss before walking towards Ciel and making him sit comfortably on his chair as Siera shook her head smiling her cheeks pink.
"Good morning nee san" two voices called out simultaneously. Siera turned and smiled at the twins.
"Good morning boys. Are Mama and Papa awake yet?" she questioned, the twins nodded.
"Yes nee san they are getting ready to come down. Mama said they'll be down in a few minutes" Kimi answered, Siera nodded.
"Come on eat your breakfast" Siera said beckoning the two boys to the table
"YOSH! Coming nee san!" the two boys yelled and rushed to the dining table.
Ciel had tick marks appear on his forehead when he heard the loud bawling of the twins. Sebastian raised an eyebrow.
"Don't make so much noise boys. We are here because of Phantomhive Lord's hospitality" Kayla said chiding the boys. Samuel stood next to her and grinned,
"Well it's a good spirit but save it for a fight you two" he said chuckling. Kayla shook her head disapprovingly.
"Don't behave like this Kiki and Kimi. Did you two forget we are in Bocchan's mansion? This isn't our mansion for you two to behave as you like" Siera said chiding the two boys. Both of them sulked.
"Sorry Mama and nee san. We won't repeat it again" they said their voices down. Siera smiled and nodded.
"That's better you two. Sorry Bocchan they won't repeat it again" Siera said smiling brightly at the younger boy. He turned his head away and nodded not bothering to answer.
"M-may I e-enter" Meyrin asked standing at the doorway. Siera smiled brightly,
"Of course Meyrin san, please do" Siera said beckoning the timid girl inside.
She entered a fresh tissue up her nose with the tip a bit drenched in blood. Her face was red as she looked at the hotties in the room one at a time. She quickly looked down when she noticed they were looking at her and let quickly after leaving the trolley with the food next to the table.
"You look annoyed" Sebastian whispered an amused smile on his face. A tick mark appeared on Ciel's head.
"Don't test my patience" he said a frown gracing his features. Sebastian chuckled,
"What is it Sebastian?" Siera questioned raising an eyebrow he merely shook his head. Siera shrugged and went back to arranging the food.
Kayla and Samuel soon seated themselves opposite to the boys and all of them started to eat. The doorbell chimed interrupting the silence.
"I will go check Bocchan" Siera volunteered and left the dining hall.
A letter was found on the floor just next to the doors of the mansion. Siera raised an eyebrow and took the letter surprised to find that it was addressed to her and Sebastian.
She went to the dining hall after hiding the letter. Ciel looked up just as she arrived.
"Who was it?" he questioned. Siera shook her head.
"There was no one outside Bocchan" she said smiling. Though he looked curious as to what happened outside Sebastian restrained himself and carried on with his duties. The four looked at her but said nothing.
Everyone had soon finished eating their breakfast and left to their rooms.
"Sebastian see to it that I'm not disturbed" he ordered before heading to his study.
"Yes my lord" was all Sebastian said before turning towards Siera who was placing the dirty dishes in the trolley to take them back to the kitchen.
He followed her without a word and as soon as she was done with the washing he blocked her path and stood with his arms crossed over his chest.
"I know what you're going to ask and the answer is in the form of a letter that I haven't opened yet. Come with me to our room. I have left the letter there" she said rolling her eyes. Sebastian raised an eyebrow and followed her.
"A letter?"
"Yes and it was addressed to both of us only" she said narrowing her eyes.
Sebastian was curious but waited till they reached the room to check the contents of the letter and quench his curiosity. Siera walked towards the side table and took the letter out. The two sat on the bed next to one another and read through the contents of the letter.
Dear Siera and Sebastian,
I know this maybe a surprise but I'd like to invite the two of you for a ball that is meant exclusively for demons. Since a mate had been decided for one of the Great Five a great many demons willingly accepted my invitation to attend this ball. Since I'm arranging this ball to congratulate the two of you I humbly request the two of you to attend this congratulatory ball.
Venue: Moonlight Hall
Dress code: Formal
Yours sincerely,
Claude Faustus
"What a perfectly crafted lie for a trap" Siera said crumpling the paper into a ball. Sebastian took the letter from her hands and straightened it.
"Relax Siera he can't do us any harm. Even though my capabilities can't be compared to yours Claude couldn't beat me. He is of no harm. Besides it would be fun to see what he wants to play now" Sebastian said an amused smile on his face. Siera sighed,
"Sebastian this attitude of yours is really too much. Besides I have no intentions to see this play of his" Siera said getting up and walking away.
Sebastian quickly pulled her back into his embrace and wrapped his arms around her.
"We could invite Father and Mother to the ball too. Imagine the uproar that could happen if all the Great Five were together in one place. Not to mention the fact that they reunited it would cause a big scoop" he said chuckling.
"Wouldn't it now" she said rolling her eyes.
"Come on Siera I promise I will be extra careful and I won't let him lay a finger on you" Sebastian said his voice playful. Siera sighed as Sebastian pulled her close,
"Fine fine…but if I sense anything weird I'm leaving the ball" Siera said firmly. Sebastian had an amused grin on his face.
"You're going to leave me alone in a hall most probably full of ladies?" he questioned playfully. Siera pushed him away from her and got up.
"Yes I would because I trust you" she said walking out of the room. Sebastian eyes widened before going back to normal a tender expression evident in them.
"Don't keep saying the right things all the time" he said chuckling.
-Meanwhile-
"This plan would only work if Sebastian hasn't claimed her yet. I have heard of the Third's beauty and I doubt any demon could resist the temptation to claim such beauty"
"That is why this plan would work. Unlike most demons Sebastian is a different kind of a crow. Though I would hate to admit it I have this strange confidence that he wouldn't claim her yet because he 'loves' her" Claude said a smug smirk on his face.
"Then everything will go smoothly for you master" the lower demon said bowing.
"Make sure my preparations are perfect. I have just a single chance to make this work" Claude said narrowing his eyes…
There ends the chapter :o
What is Claude planning to do? What is going to happen at the ball?
Wait for my next update to find out ^^
Until next time adios amigos :D
