After he was gone, y/n went to the tent shared by William and Sebastian and informed the latter of what they had found out. Before the black haired male could respond, Valerius walked in with that toothy grin of his.

"Ah! There you are, Belladonna!" Valerius said cheerfully but his face fell and, it seemed like, he scowled at the sight of Sebastian. "Oh. . . You are here too."

"Valerius?" y/n said in a questioning tone, arching a brow. "What are you doing?"

"Just wanted to go for a walk."

"Mr. MacNeil, as you can see, I am quite busy."

"C'mon! You need some fresh air, I can sense you are stressed." y/n didn't even have the time to decline yet again, Valerius grabbed her hand and led her away "It will be fun! I promise! Besides, it will do you good to stay away from him and Smile."

"What is that supposed to mean?" she asked him once they were away

He sighed, "Listen, you are like a daughter to me, even though you barely know me, and I can tell that they are trouble."

With a heave, she pulled her hand away from him and said, "Thank you, but last time someone saw me as daughter figure ended up dying." she flinched a bit at the memory of Angelina "As for who I hang around with is my business and no one else's."

He told her something about being careful around them but she didn't bother to hear it as she turned her back on him and started her way back, her mind tried to recall what events would follow that night. That's when she heard the sounds of gagging and coughing, and her eyes went wide open.

"Young Master?!" Sebastian called out, shocked

Y/n ran up to the two as Ciel had a coughing fit and begun to vomit. She tried to sit him upright as she held him tightly and as gently as she could and take him to the doctor. Her heart was racing anxiously as she watched him blacking out.

"SOMEONE HELP!" she shouted loudly for the first time

Freckles spotted them and ran to them with a worried look, "Smile!? What's wrong?"

Y/n tried to remain calm so she could provide better help but this was the first time someone close to her had asthma and didn't know how to react. "HELP ME GET HIM TO THE BLOODY DOCTOR!!"

Freckles quickly came to her aid and she with Sebastian helped her to take Ciel to see Doctor. They placed the boy underneath warm covers. Y/n had taken a chair and sat close to the bed beside him, her hand gently on his forehead. He was burning up with a fever and he was sweating.

"It's asthma." the doctor said to the trio.

"Asthma. . .? This is the first time I've seen him in this condition even though I have been with him for three years." said Sebastian

"If he hasn't had this condition for three years, it's considered as being recovered." replied the doctor "Though all you need is a sudden chill or time of stress. . . then if he gets a cold it can abruptly come back."

"I have seen him suffer from a cold once or twice though it was never this bad."

"This time it's probably because the main causes coincided together. It's natural for him to get a cold since he went out bathing with our brutish people."

A guilty look came across Doll/Freckles' face.

"Ah!" Ciel gasped softly

"Oh that's great, you have regained consciousness."

". . . water. . ."

Y/n nodded, removed her hand from him and helped him drink some.

"You have had bad asthma since you were very young right?" the doctor pointed out "There are cases where people have died from it. You should be careful even if you think you have fully recovered. Rest until the fever and coughing has stopped! Okay?" he turned to the others "You guys should get going." the h/c haired female made no sign of movement as she continued sitting beside Ciel. "Uh. . . Belladonna, you too."

"I'll stay."

"But-"

She gave him an impassive yet cold stare, "I said I'll stay."

The male flinched at her tone and gaze. "I- I guess it's fine. He seems to be comfortable around you so it won't be a problem."

Later on, Ciel woke up to find Doll sleeping with him and y/n holding one of his hands while she herself had fallen asleep on the chair beside him. He called for Sebastian and transmitted an order via tracing words on Sebastian's palm; to investigate the crest they found and to come get him and y/n in the morning. Sebastian took a moment to tease him, stating he will not tell Elizabeth that he slept with another female.

"Sebastian. . ." murmured y/n before he exited, he walked up to her so she wouldn't have to speak loud. ". . .I know what you'll do, so do it quickly."

He smiled in amusement, "Oh~ So you approve my methods?"

She shook her head, "No. . . ." y/n paused "But this place- this place. . ." "I do, actually." she recalled Joker's soft words, she closed her eyes and after a moment she reopened them. "I hate it and everyone in this place."
