Lesser of Two Evils Sebastian x reader x Claude

Part 2

You flinched back and gasped as a silver knife flew past you at the speed of light and lodged itself into Claude's shoulder.

Claude didn't even react, he just plucked the knife out and let it fall to the floor, crimson blood spilling from the wound.

He narrowed his eyes and scowled at the intruder, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose.

"Michaelis," he growled.

The said raven haired man simply smiled and flashed the set of multiple knives he had in his hand, between his gloved fingers.

"I believe you took something of mine," the demon replied smoothly, tugging lightly on the cuff of his tailcoat, "I'm simply here to retrieve it, if you would be so kind as to hand her over to me. I'm afraid I do have master's orders to follow as well."

"Sebastian!" You called, and smiled at the handsome butler, "y-you came to save me!"

"Of course my lady, if I couldn't rescue a damsel in distress, then what sort of a butler would I be?" He stated suavely, "do not worry, I shall take you back to the manor immediately."

"Oh, but Sebastian," Claude interjected, holding out his gloved hand threateningly, "I don't plan on letting her go that easy tonight."

"I can see that as you so flagrantly attempted to harass (y/n)," Sebastian stated disapprovingly, "tell me Claude, what exactly did you plan on doing with her tonight?"

Your jaw dropped and you gasped, "Sebastian!"

"Oh, does the thought bother you, Michaelis," Claude hissed, "or does it make you envious? What a jealous demon you are."

"A jealous demon?" Sebastian chuckled, "you believe I could envy you? Oh no, I could have her anytime I wish, I believe the jealous one here is you, coveting my maid for yourself."

"You should know not to steal another demon's toy," he continued, and you noticed he had been moving gradually toward you, he was less then a meter away, and his gaze met yours, his blood red eyes staring into yours, amused.

He returned his gaze to Claude,
"Or maybe I haven't made it clear enough to you that she's mine," he snapped, and before you knew it he was beside you, slicing through your binds in an instant, bringing his arms around you and swiftly scooping you into his arms.

"Don't think you can just grab her and leave," Claude growled, he retrieved a shining golden knife from his tailcoat and instantly sent it flying toward Sebastian.

Sebastian quickly stepped off to the side, dodging the utensil.

"That wasn't very kind of you, was it?" Sebastian pouted, mockingly, quirking a brow.

"Didn't I tell you? I'm not letting her go that easy tonight," Claude snarled.

"What is it you're insinuating Claude?"

"Just what I said," he answered harshly, "I want her, and you won't  take her away this time without a fight."

"Is it a duel you wish for?"

"Yes, if you wish it as such, why not? A duel between butlers," Claude ran his heads over the buttons of his tailcoat, "and I assume you know what the prize is."
