Awe guys!!! I can't believe this fic is almost done! ;u; I'm gettin all emotional while writing this chapter /u\

Me: so, let's just continue where we left off then.

Alois: don't forget to vote to have our sequel! I want to be able to see all my lovely fans in book 2!

Your POV

I buried my face in Sebastian's shoulder, my tears falling freely, "I don't want to tell him...I'm scared..." I spoke to him, sniffling.

"I know, my lady. But you must. It may save your life... And someone you care about." He replied to me, gently rubbing my back soothingly. I looked up at him, my eyes red and puffy and my nose runny.
"Look at you, lady (y/n)... This  appearance doesn't suit one of a lady of your standards... You far more beautiful when you aren't crying your little (e/c) eyes out." He said, gently wiping my tears away. He brushed my hair out of my face, cupping my face.
"You deserve much better than a Trancy, my lady, but I can tell he genuinely makes you happy. And that's what matters most. He loves you very truthfully and loyally. You have to tell him, if you wish to stay with him. And I believe you do." He said, smiling and wiping a final tear from my face.

"Sebastian... How to I free myself from this contract?" I asked, looking at him still.
"Hannah." He said flatly and I cocked my head in confusion, "huh?"
"Hannah Anafelloz. She bears a sword that can kill demons, and conveniently enough, Earl Trancy's maid." He explained.
"So... I have to kill Claude?" I asked.
"Dearest me, no." He chuckled,"That, my lady, will be a duel between your butler and dear Alois." He finished.

"But... How could he possibly win that?!" I exclaimed.
"This sword, my lady, evens the playing field. Claude is a demon yes, and immortal- unless faced with that sword. Then, he may as well be a human.
Alois is a human as well, a bit bratty, but a human, and if I've learned a thing from humans, it's that they will stop a nothing to get what they want. You, lady (y/n) is what he wants. He would be willing to die for you in a heartbeat." He stated.
I blinked, looking down, "and... If e looses?" I asked the painful question.
"Then Claude devours his soul, along with yours for fulfilling your contract." He answered bluntly. I felt my eyes get misty, but he smiled at me reassuringly, "have faith in him my lady. He will surely win." He replied.

Your POV still

I breathed in deeply, approaching the doors to the ballroom. My shaky hand touched the cold handle of one of the doors. I looked behind me, Sebastian now chatting with Hannah. I knew this was the only way. I opened the door, scanning the room for Alois. I walked nervously around the room, occasionally having small talk with other party members.
"So are Alois' fiancé?"
I giggled, "No, he hasn't proposed to me yet."
He won't be proposing at all if he's dead... I thought to my self, excusing myself from the conversation as I spotted Alois. I approached him, my hands shacking and clamming up as a small lump formed in my throat.
"A-Alois?" I asked, getting his attention. He immediately turned around, embracing me, "where have oh been?! I was so worried! I thought I lost you!" He said emotionally, and I returned the hug.
"Alois I... I messed up." I began, looking away from him.
"What do you mean?" He asked confused.
"Alois... I- before I came to this party, I bumped into Grell..." I began pouring my whole experience to him.
"And now, Claude is going to..." I finally broke down in his arms, sobbing. A stone cold expression was plastered onto his face. He turned his head, looking to Hannah, and she gave him a nod. "Get Claude into the garden. We'll settle this..." He spoke coldly.
"Alois!" I said, clinging to his arm.
"(Y/n) please... I won't loose you to him... If I die, so be it. But I will not let him win you without a fight." He replied to me, capturing my lips with his gently.

Alois' POV

Flashback-

Ciel smirked, "I guess I can't interfere in your game anymore. Not without a price. Your butler has made his move earl Trancy...how will you respond?" He said, and I returned the smirk, "by putting the pawn in his place and retrieving my queen."

So ciel... That's what you meant by those words? He made his move. Yes, he did didn't he? And now I have to fight my own butler to keep her with me, to have her for my own. I suppose, I did say I must put the pawn in his place. Then retrieve my queen after. I won't loose you, (y/n)... Never...
