Black Butler X (Malleus) Reader

Chapter 8

-3rd POV-

"She's in a different world...?" Malleus questioned.

Lilia nodded, "Yes. If you can still feel her emotions, but not feel her presence anywhere here in Twisted Wonderland...then the only other option is that she's somewhere else. Like the Ramshackle Prefect."

"I see..." He said, looking down in sadness, "So, I'll never see her again?"

"I'm sure we will. We will just have to be patient for a sign to appear. But for now, rely on your emotions to communicate with each other."

He nodded, "Alright, Lilia..." He said, before walking off.

The bells rang at the church and nearby there were three kids.

"Big bruvver?" The little boy said, as he looked over towards the church.

"Hm?" The older boy looked over.

"There sure lots of people at the church over there, huh? Why?" He questioned.

"Dunno."

He looked at his brother, "Big bruvver is big, but he doesn't know? Are you a dummy? Boooo." He said.

"Dummyyy?" The little sister said, copying her older brother.

Their eldest brother grew a tick mark, "Wha—?! I'm only twelve, so I don't hafta know!" He exclaimed.

"Yes, quite right." A new voice said, making them turn and see the Undertaker, "It makes peeeerfect sense for a child to not know." He grinned.

The children shook as the two youngest hugged their eldest brother.

"You see, today..." He raised his arms, "...they are holding a certain noble-woman's gala."

"Gala?" The eldest said.

"Yes. The last, grandest ceremony of her life."

-----

"Her funeral."

Everyone who knew Madam, stood at the pews, while a tearful Elizabeth stood by her open casket.

Madam laid in her casket, flowers around her and wore a white dress.

"Aunt An..." She said.

Soon, the doors to the church opened, causing people to look and murmur.

Her eyes widen, before looking back.

By the door, someone stepped forward.

It was Ciel, who had some of his hair slicked back and had a red rose on the pocket of his coat. Over his shoulder was a red dress.

Sebastian stood by, hat in hand. (Y/n) stood by him, eyes closed as she silently sent a prayer.

"Ciel...!" Elizabeth said, but then noted the dress, 'A red dress...?!'

The earl walked up as the other two stayed behind. People around murmured, as they all watched the teen walk towards Madam and sat on the ledge, draping the dress over her, "—White flowers...and plain clothes...do not befit you...What suits you best...is passionate red." He took the rose from his pocket and gently placed it in her hair, "The color of lycoris that blazes the earth..."

He leaned forward, gently taping his forehead with hers, "...Aunt An."

Elizabeth noted a petal, before more fluttered into the church, making her look up with eyes widen, "—Ah."

Everyone was shocked and in awe by the petals that flew around.

By the entrance was Sebastian, Undertaker and (Y/n) who stood by the carriage that was full of the petals and letting the wind carry them.
