Black Butler X (Malleus) Reader

Chapter 46

-3rd POV-

"Maurice Cole. He must be a pathological liar." Ciel said, licking his lips as he ate his pastry.

"What makes you say that?" Sebastian questioned.

"Did you see his hands?"

He raised a brow, "His hands?"

"The hands of the fags in school tend to be blistered from running errands for the upperclassmen. However, his hands are as white and pure as the driven snow...which means..."

"He too is resorting to dirty tricks like you, young master?"

He had a tick mark, "That part at the end was wholly uncalled for!" But he nodded, "Exactly. Besides, the way he categorically lied to me with ease and without so much as faltering tells me I'm right. As badgers of the same set, I expect you would be able to identify him by smell."

"Hmph."

"I can prove the falsehood in his statement with no trouble, but...that won't be enough to put an end to it. Sebastian, find others who have been entrapped by Cole like I was. And I also want you to thoroughly investigate Maurice's behavioral patterns and habits."

The butler smiled, bowing, "As you wish, sir."

"Lilia! How was the P4?"

"Are they as cool as others say?"

Question after question was thrown at the bat fae, who only smiled at them.

'Ah, youth...' Lilia thought, before getting up from his seat, "Sorry, boys, but we have class to attend to. We must go or else we'll be scolded."

Most of them pouted but nodded in agreement.

"Man, Lilia. You sound like an older gentleman." A boy said.

The said male chuckled as he walked off, "You never know. I have quite the cute young face."

"Sir Lilia." Someone called out.

The fae turned, seeing the butler, "Ah, butler. Is something the matter? Is Ciel in trouble? Oh, his mother will have a fit."

Sebastian chuckled, shaking his head, "Nothing of sorts is wrong with the young master. Though, since you stay here at the Red House. I would like to ask a few questions about a certain someone."

"Why of course! Anything to help my dear grandson." He clapped his hands together.

-----

Lilia walked into an empty classroom, sitting on one of the desks, "No one really uses this classroom, unless it's to study for tests since it's quiet." He looked at him, "So, what are your questions, butler?"

Sebastian nodded, "I wanted to ask about Maurice Cole."

He titled his head, "Maurice Cole...Cole...Ah! The little brat who lied to my grandson!" He smiled.

He chuckled, nodding, "Yes. Do you have anything on him?"

"Well, he likes to dump his chores on underclassmen and when they finish the chores, Cole acts like he did it on his own. He's lied to many of the students here but they all seem to believe him." He leaned closer with his hand by his mouth, "Though, I hear some commotion in his room all the time. Once he's in his room, he drops the act he has put up."

"Interesting. And you can hear him due to your fae hearing?"

He nodded with a smile, "Correct! I may be old in years, but I still have my young physique." He chuckled.
