Guardian of an earl

Letter of lies

As a Noble, my morning routine is normal. Waking up by my personal maid with some tea, instead, I woke up by Tanaka, our head butler, holding a tray with my tea. "Good morning my lady, Your morning tea "Good morning Tanaka, What's my schedule for today??" I sipped my tea detecting a nutty flavor; it tasted similar to coffee but with a few different flavors. "Is this a new tea?" Tanaka replied with a grin. "It's a gift from one of your father's Japanese business partners. The tea is called Hojicha."

"I see. Please convey my gratitude, as it was quite a taste ."Well, they also sent you a little letter, My lady would like to read it ?" He asked, holding a small letter;I put away my tea, the sun shining through my open curtain. I knew little about my brother's business partner, but one man's eyes lingered in my mind for years. As the memories came flooding in at one of my brother's dance balls it was magical but I was a young unmarried lady. Fortunately, I could blend in well enough but somehow one man found me asking me to dance with him it was elegant like we danced in the sky. I'll never forget that day. I thought came back to reality by the sound of small feet on the wooden floor.

"Auntie, breakfast is ready!" "And we're hungry," yelled a little blue-eyed child, while his twin responded shyly. As I climbed out of bed, one of them gave me a soft smile and looked at me with hopeful eyes. "Good morning, Ceil, and don't worry Sirius, I'll be down in 10 minutes, let me just get dressed." I hug the boys. "Tenaka, I'll read the letter when I go to breakfast. Please send boys to the dining room and send one of the maids to assist me in changing." He nodded and left with the boys.

After painful minutes to get into my morning corset and my dress, I finally was able to go to the dining table where I saw my brother and his lovely wife while the boys were playing on the ground next to the table. "Ah, my sister still well I see have you gotten the gift I made sure it was well prepared." My brother is snarky as always "If this is a way to get me to marry one of your business partners you are surely mistaken."  I sat next to his wife she gave me a small wink handing me the letter from before. "Is the opposite really more of a business opportunity for you. "Alright, we will speak about this 'business opportunity' after breakfast and not in front of the children." I ended the conversation and start to eat.

The letter...it was nothing but lies to me I couldn't understand why but this man wanted me to start a phantom company in Japan. He's mad! And why did my father agree to this letter I barely knew this man and he wanted me to do business with him. I know I am a woman unable to work, but I was taught business the same as my brother.  "This is insane in Japan I know you have business there but setting up a factory and 2 stores immediately sounds insane!" I exclaimed to my brother only for him to show me the papers. "It already agreed upon the only thing we ask is to work by pretending to be his wife, you two get along so well the last time." "I was young Vincent I know how your partners are they are demons in disguise only to overcome greed!" Envy in my voice he grabbed me by the hand pulling me to him. "Don't even try to act like our mother you will do or at least think about the offer. He is visiting tonight to speak with you so you better behave as a lady this is business.  Now get pretty and go get a pretty dress for tonight we want him to see you as his wife and not a burden..." His threat went down my spine giving a small nod and hurried to the door slamming it shut.

"Now that was just anti-climatic you two fight like cats and dogs. Is actually pretty funny." A familiar chuckling voice said as I stare at the couch outside my brother's studies. His eyes were covered by his white hair "What's is it you want Undertaker I'm not in the mood for your jokes." I said seeing him picking at his long black nails before giggling "Your brother wants to see me for a case but before I go maybe I can help you with a little problem with a little practical joke on this poor man." I stared at him with his grin giving a short nod that I was listening and hoping this will get me out of this situation.

The night finally came to meet this man yet again, another greedy man wanting the phantomhive name. To do so he must go on a trial of the test that Undertaker has set up. This night will surely be remembered by both of us. As I was waiting in the game room the door opened and I saw my brother walk in as my escort to make sure nothing between us will happen before the marriage. As a woman, I wasn't allowed to be with a male stranger who wasn't my husband or a relative. "I hope you have time to think about this opportunity if not I may have something that might change your mind." I  glared at him hoping it might drop him dead only for him to sit on his lovely throne on his throne chair. "You don't have to marry this man or live with him only use him as a cover...I know your independent woman but you won't be accepted as an owner so please this is a big opportunity for you and the company." I only stared at him but was more of fear I will be alone in a foreign country away from people I loved and cared for. My brother got closer and hold me only to realize I was crying I was so covered with anger that I didn't realize to think about what I might lose if I leave. "You never will be alone "(Y/n), You'll never be alone I'll make sure you are always safe don't worry." With those words, I burst into tears not knowing what the future holds
