The One I Love (Ciel Phantomhive x Reader)

Magic Lessons

"I-I was wondering if you could, uh, come with me for a bit," Prince Adalric says slightly embarrassed.
"Uh, sure. What for?" You ask.
"Um, it's a secret," Prince Adalric replies.
"Okaayyy," You say unsure if you should change your mind.

Before you have anymore time to think about this and decide differently, Prince Adalric says,

"Great, alright Lady (Y/n), please follow me,"

He gentally grabs your wrist and leads you out of the room and down the hallway.

"What about Lady Grace, Erin, and Kaija?" You ask.
"I just want you," He answers making it sound completely not creepy at all.

While you guys are walking the Prince says,

"Lady (Y/n), may ask, why do you wear a ribbon around your wrist?"
'Oh! The ribbon from Ciel's gift! I totally forgot that I was wearing it!' You think to yourself.
"Oh that! It was tied around a present someone gave me and I liked the ribbon, so I just wore it," You reply.
"Well it is a very pretty ribbon," Prince Adalric says nodding.
"Why thank you," You say. "So I've been wondering, you and your people are like fairies right?"

The Prince stops and looks at you.

'Oh no, should I not have asked that?' You think to yourself.

"No, we are not fairies, we are pixies. Humans often get us mixed up but no, we are not fairies. Fairies are all about playing and happiness and they are never serious. Pixies on the other hand, we know what our job is, we do it efficiently and then we have our 'play time'," The Prince replies.
"Oh okay, good to know," You say relieved that you didn't get in trouble.

The Prince continues to walk down the many complex hallways of the tree-castle. You try to remember your way back but its not like the Phantomhive Manor or the Trancy Estate, its more complicated. The Prince is still holding your wrist as you walk down the hallways. A little later, the Prince stops at a door and opens it. He leads you inside and the room turns out to be a bedroom. The bedroom is magificent with a large fluffy bed. There is a closet, a rug, a desk, bookshelves, a dresser and many other things. The Prince leads you over to the bookshelf then he turns to you, still holding your wrist.

"I am about to show you somewhere that no one knows about and I would like to keep it that way. Except you will be the only other person that knows about it. So please do not tell anyone, understand?" Prince Adalric says.
"Yes," You say as you nod.

Prince Adalric looks for a book on the bookshelf. He picks out a leaf green book and pulls it out, the top part of the book comes out but not the bottom part, which makes it come out at an angle. You hear a soft click and gears starting to move. Then the shelf slides back into the wall, then moves over to the side, revealing a secret passage.

'Wow, what a shocker,' You sarcastically think to yourself. 'Totally not a movie cliché at all.'

"Come on, it's just down this hallway," Prince Adalric says.

The passage is lit with fire torches unlike the rest of Pisktera. Prince Adalric pulls the first torch on the right, it comes down at an angle like the book. You hear a soft click like before, along with the turning of gears. The book shelf slides over the entrace and pushes out to how it was before. Prince Adalric leads you down the hallway, it's not to long so it doesn't take much time to reach the end.

At the end of the hallway are two wooden double doors. Prince Adalric let's go of your hand and places both of his hands on each door. He then whispers something that you can't make out. After that, he pushes the doors open and inside is a room that is gigantic with a super high ceiling. But then you remember that you are a smaller size than usual, so if you were regular sized it would probably be an average sized room. There are shelfs with old ancient looking books, and shelfs with bottles amd jars with all sorts of things in them. There are a few tables with many things on them like papers, quills, ink jars, and utensils you've never seen before. In the center of the room is a couldren filled with water over a fireplace.
