Betrothed (On Hold!)

My Lover, Dancing

Mey-Rin's POV

Lady l/n looked absolutely lovely! The elegant silver and white dress that the Young Master had picked out, along with some jewelry of Sebastian's choosing, made her look like a royal instead of just a Nobel. Her long/short hair was nearly pulled back by a silvery head band with black designs and made her e/c eyes seem to shimmer and glow.
"You look amazing Miss l/n!" Funny said with awe in his eyes. F/n rolled her eyes and smiled brightly. "You should really all start calling me f/n." She said and looked back to me.

"And i only look good because I have the best maid in all of London that helped me!" She said and hugged me firmly. I hugged her back with a smile, trying to hug my blush.

"Thats a mighty nice thing to say, yes it is!" We both giggled before Grell opened the door.

"The first few guests have arrived, my Lady." The mistress smiled and took Grell's arm with hers.

"I'll catch up with you in a moment!" I called out to them and glared Grell down once f/n had tiki need around.

I don't trust that man for one moment no I don't. I thought and adjusted my glasses before fluffing up my skirt a bit and heading to the balcony so that I could keep an eye on the guests from above. Sebastian had given us a job and my eyes made me perfect for it!

A lot of the people I didn't recognize, in fact only one or two I did. On Instinct I raced over and stood beside Finny on the balcony, spotting Ciel whispering something to Sebastian before he nodded and the young master walked over to f/n and nearly nodded to the men and women who greeted her on the grand stair case.

"Isnt that the Undertaker?" Funny asked in a whisper, pointing at some man in the crowd. I looked to where he was pointing and raised my glasses.

"Thats him alright. He is supposed to be a friend of Master's. I doubt he's into any schemes as of now." I said and glanced at Funny, who was looking at me wide eyed.

"What's wrong" I asked and looked him over.
"Y-you're really pretty." He said with a blush.
". . ."

I slowly put my glasses back down and looked back over the balcony.

Your POV

The guests were all so kind! Ciel was standing by your side, and nodded to each person that passed or said some greeting. An interesting looking man, who looked rather old, approached you with a toothy smile. What's with that scar? Is he a veteran?

Ciel tensed up and tighter.ed his grip on your hand as the man approached, but you ignored it. You weren't about to judge a man by how he looked. Something about him made you want to. . . Smile.

"Hello Young Mistress. I'm Undertaker, an ally of the young Earl. It's lovely to meet you." He said and inhaled down before lightly taking your hand in his and tracing it with his thumb.

"Yes, nice to meet you." You say and smile brightly ghost rely at him. . . His voice. . . It's so familiar. So is that name. . . Undertaker. You suddenly realized that that was the name of the store that Ciel went into with Grell when you were out shopping.

"Always a pleasure, Mistress." He said and tipped his hat before Patti g your hand lightly and standing up, disappearing into the large crowd of other guests.

Ciel seemed to tax at that and scanned the room from the stair case that you stood on. Another man in white with whiteish blonde hair and white clothing approached you. Ciel tensed up again, only more so and took a step back. You could see him scowling in your perilous, and he shivered lightly.

Unsure of what was wro g you squeezed his hand and shot him a smile,getting him know it was fine.

"Hello, I am Viscount Lord Druit. A divine pleasure to meet you, my lovely little dove." He cooked and took your hand before kissing it lightly, though you can see him smirking. Out of disgust you nearly yanked your hand away.

You instantly dislike this man, but you have to maintain polite. He was a guest anyway.

"Yes. Nice to meet you Lord Druit." You force yourself to say through gritted teeth. The man stands up taller a d winks at you with a bit lip before joining the other guests.

"Dont go near him. That man is crazed, he is also the owner of a human trafficking organization." Ciel whispers in your ears after pulling you closer to him. You stare at Ciel wide eyed, for three reasons. 1. He was really close. 2. Human trafficking!? 3. As if you would go near that man after that little endeavor!

"I'm not a fool, besides, I'm not leaving your side." You say with a returning smile and entwined your elbow back with his and make space between you both once more.

Ciel nodded, though something seemed to be annoying him still. He looked around for a moment before sighting heavily. That's when you notice Sebastian on the upper balcony, the one opposite of Mey-Rin and Finny. He smiply smiled and waved at you, to which you smiled back.

"Would. . . Would you like to dance?" Ciel asked and looked back to you, a small blush on his cheeks. You started at him in awe. He's blushing!?

You quickly smile again and wipe the dainted look from your face, "Yes. Yes, of course." You say calmly as possible. With that he slowly led you down the stairs and into the ball room floor where people were already dancing.

The band seemed to noticed and started to play softer, and louder.

Ciel put a hand on your waist and his face flushed even more as you let him lead you. He was surprisingly bad a dancing, but you didn't mind.

He was blushing madly with his face turned to the ground except for the occasional glance at you.

As the song came to an end you both slowly broke away from one another. Others in the crowd who had been watching clapped before going back to talking amongst themselves.

Grell appeared out of nowhere and made his way over to you. "That was exquisite dancing, My Lady!" He said with a some and clasped his hands together over his chest, as if a father proud of his daughter. He feels like a father. . . A really odd father. You thought with a soft giggle under your breath.

"What is it, Grell?" Ciel asked with a cold tone, giving your butler a hard glare. Grell ignored it, as if he hadn't seen it, and continued.

"Sebastian wants to know if the young lady would like a magic show?" He asked and looked back to you.

"Sebastian can do magic?" You ask in awe and excitement. Grell nodded with a chuckle, "There isn't a lot he can't do. He is one hell of a butler after all." He said with a wink at you.

Ciel.muttered something under his breath as you looked at Grell with confusion now.

Does he know, or was he only quoting Sebastian's catch phrase?

Surging was only a joke. . . Grell couldn't know that Sebastian was a demon. . . How could he?
