Is This Fate or Misfortune?

Her Acquaintance, Trancy Manor

   You were currently sitting at the dining table in the Trancy Manor along with everyone else. You sat next to Ciel, Alois being at the head of the table gazing at the two of you with a large smile on his face. Sebastian stood behind Ciel's chair as Claude and Hannah began to serve the food out to you guys.

After Alois had caught you making your way through the manor, he had escorted you back to the dining room talking your ear off.

'Oh so I guess you came here with Ciel,' Alois said causing you to freeze up and you nodded your head. "So Ciel actually came!' He exclaimed out triumphantly. "Let's go see him!!" He cried out as he grabbed into you as arm and began to drag to drag you in the direction of the dining room.

You had barely managed to say a word as he dragged you back, talking a mouthful off of your ear. You only nodded your head tiredly back to whatever he had said. He had pulled you into the dining room where both Ciel and Sebastian had given you a look of shock, however Claude seemed unsurprised at this. In fact his face barely even held any emotion or expression at all.

"I'm so terribly happy that you were able to come!" Alois exclaimed out as his wide excited eyes gazed upon Ciel and you. "Claude was sure that you wouldn't come but I just knew that you would. And I was right. See Claude," he said to the demon who stopped for a second and bowed his head down to him.

"It seems you were right, your highness," he said to him as he once again continued to serve out the food to you guys. He headed up to your side as he crouched down to your level and placed the silver platter in front of you. He said nothing else as he got up and continued his duty. You glanced down at your food seeing that it looked a lot better than you expected it to be. On your plate laid a shimmering steak along with several mash potatoes and a small salad.

"Well I wanted to thank you for inviting us," Ciel told him and you could that he was gritting his teeth from where he was sitting at besides you. 'Poor Ciel,' you couldn't help but think.

You picked up your fork and and began to dine on the food in front of you. As soon as you had placed the fork into your mouth, you let out a soft moan. This was a lot better than you expected it to be, however it could never compete with Sebastian's own food.

At the mention of Sebastian, you glanced over to view at the demon butler who was standing behind Ciel's chair. He was closely watching both Hannah and Claude as they continued to serve out food. The two of your gaze locked for a second and he gave you a smirk.

You smiled back at him as you waved your hand. You realized lately that you haven't had as much time to spend with him which you so desperately missed. You decided that when you guys got back to the manor you would try to catch up with him more often. You sneaked a glance over to him to see that he was already glancing in your direction and a blush came into your face seeing that you had been caught.

You quickly glanced away from him and back to your plate, focusing on your food rather than Sebastian's attractive face.

You could admit that the dining room here was magnificent. It was a vast size with stunning decorations and architecture. As much as you hated to admit it might even be even more stunning than the Phantonhive Manor.

You turned your attention back to Ciel's and Alois conversation and was surprised to see that Alois would continued to glance over in your direction every so. You wondered what was making him so curious about you and couldn't help but wonder if something more must have happened back upon the party.

You couldn't help but wonder if Alois knew that you possessed the capability to control magic. I mean he had sent the triplets to spy on you, so there was a possibility that he had knowledge of it. You glanced over to look at Claude who had finished serving the food and went to stand against the wall alongside with Hannah. There was a good possibility that he had hadn't informed Alois that you were a magic-user and you wondered if it was either.
