Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler- Time passes

Chapter 14

When you love someone you do everything in your power to protect them from danger. Often even from ourselves. One cannot sacrifice anything of that beloved person no matter what. And that is why we start using a weapon that, if well manoeuvred, can be very powerful: deception. A weapon that is as strong as it is lethal and requires a great deal of skill because it is a double-edged blade. Mankind is not always able to keep a cool head and is cut by the same dagger it used before to stab the backs of those around them.
Well, to become a royal guard dog, one has to be really good at wielding this blade. Ciel and Richard are great examples of this.
But there was one big problem, of course lying can be very powerful, but it doesn't last very long because, despite the skill of anyone who lies, there is always that small source of truth that, like the light, always wants to shine brighter and expose itself to others.
In short, a royal watchdog does not just go and investigate, in addition to unmasking the culprits, he uncovers trutha that cannot be revealed to the simple people or anyone else but the King and Queen, who consequently try to fade that truthful light with credible stories, i.e. lies.

"In a few days she will be my wife, and I will have to continue like this until the day I die?" Richard s creamed in his mind. He paced back and forth around the office as if looking for some answer."I can't bear it, if I let her into my circle she might die, if I don't...I don't know how it might end between me and her."He imprecated with a low voice, massaging his forehead with one hand.At that point, James walked in with a file in his hand. In the middle of the document was written the word 'Phantomhive', clearly Count Moonlight was looking for informations on his colleague.

-James -
-:I brought the registry you asked me for, Master,' I said, placing the file on the desk.The Count smiled.-:Thank you James... you can go now, if I need you I will call you:-.I curtsied and left the room. I closed the door gently and as I made my way to my room, I was reminded of the day I met Master Richard.I remembered him vividly.A frail, hungry little boy, looking for help, wandering aimlessly with his left arm wrapped up and with his companions, had fascinated me from the start.When I approached him for the first time I realised that he was truly happy. But how could a human being like him feel happiness when he could not even see the world he lived in and the people he followed?That human was blind.  Such big and pretty eyes were shut to everything. At that moment I thought, "Why did God give such a misfortune to such a beautiful creature? Is He really so cruel as to take away even the sight of a young boy as pure as the angels?"To that young man I revealed who I really was, I did it so naturally that it seemed normal to speak of my true form to a small human like him.Usually people don't believe these kind of things, yet his reaction was unexpected even for me.-:If you really are a demon then that means you have special powers, right? Prove it!:- he told me enthusiastically.-:And how should I do it little one?:- I asked sincerely. I didn't know how to do it, he couldn't see.-:Fix my arm! They always punish me by hitting on it and it hurts:-.So I fixed his arm.The little boy moved the limb and felt it and started to laugh with happiness.-:And my eyes, can you fix them too?:-At that request I was almost shocked, it would have been a very good demonstration, but -:Of course I can cure your eyes, but if I have to do that then I will have to make a contract with you:-.Why did I explain this to him in such a friendly way? Usually I do it in a strict manner, but with him I behaved as if I were a parent. After all, the healing of one of the five senses was very difficult.-:Does that mean you will have to take my soul?:- he asked me.I didn't even have time to answer that he started talking again.-:If you and I make a pact, it will mean that you will do everything I ask you to do until some day, right?:-
-:Yes, that is correct:- was all I could say at that moment.-:So, James, I want to make a pact with you!:-.A few days after I made the pact, I learned about the expiration date."After I marry and have the child of the girl with the voice of an angel that I fell in love with, only then can you have my soul. Now that I can be part of her world, I will be able to fulfil this wish of mine. Jimmy, thank you for saving me and helping me."
