Chpt. 15: Débutante Boy Blues pt. 2

Your P.O.V:

"Your dress is lovely, your Majesty." I said, quickly swallowing the words back to no avail. The dress she was wearing was a gray color, rather than her usual black.

"Why thank you. I've taken a liking to your dress also." She replies, her voice sounding so frail and weak. She swiftly turns as her butler starts speaking to me, only managing to get a "Miss Ro-" out before she put up her frail hand to follow her. He bowed and left, and so the festivities began. Four of the five girls who were supposed tend to me during this ball had gone to flirt around, or at least try. I look to my left and Elizabeth stands there, coaxing Ciel to spend time with her. I wave them a silent goodbye as Angelina has now also gone to flirt. Suddenly, Sebastian stands at my side.

"Sebastian, do you mind slowly poisoning me? I'm dreadfully tired." I say.

"I would have no problem doing that Miss Rose. Come, let me give you your eternal slumber." He replies. I fall into his arms like a small child would, and he then acts out what would be a scene of Shakespeare. I find him quite entertaining at times. As I laugh and straighten myself out I ask him to get me a Binet. He leaves and Mey-Rin begins playing the piano. I turn to see Bardroy running with an immense amount of plates, and a boy who looks to be no older than 20 trailing behind with flowers. Is he the one who's always in the garden? I begin to walk through the crowd, with many greeting me, some apologizing excessively for being in my way. Of course I just reply with "No, you're ok. Don't worry about it." I finally find Claude and Alois, who's eyes go dark as I approach him.

"Is this Angelina's version of a joke? This ball is meaningless." Of course I've learned by now to try and coax him down from his anger and be very calm when dealing with him.

"I'm sorry Alois, please, don't stay any longer, you don't have to. You look a bit excited about the whole thing."

"Dammit Claude- will you give the two of us some breathing room!?" I sometimes enjoy it when I see Alois in these pointless fits of rage. He gets worked up and I try to hide my laughs, sometimes its over the silliest things. I remember one time, Claude had done nothing but Alois was sure he was making advances at me. He tried hitting him, but ended up just being held like a crying baby as he wanted to claw at his butler.

"Well, are you enjoying the cakes? The tea is quite lovely." I said trying to steer him from his anger.

"Only if you're enjoying them" he sarcastically taunted. Its difficult to bring him out of these moods.

"Alois, please." I turn and swiftly walk away, the boys still gawking at me. I decide to walk around some and make myself known. By the time I got to talking to the third person, something had held on to my hips.

"I'm so sorry will you excuse me for a moment?" I tried to pry the hands off but they only seemed to wrap tighter. I finally get the arms from away and find its some 20 yr. old sleez. Completely overstocked on cheap wine. I grab his collar and drag him to Sebastian throwing him on the floor in front of him.

"Sebastian, please get rid of him. He's a bother." He dragged him outside and must've just had him leave, Sebastian can be "quite persuasive". He then comes back in and I see him pull out a settee from nowhere. He gets out a glass and a spoon and rings it. It echoes and everyone stops and turns to him.

"Now we will bring the gifts up for the Miss. Please govern yourselves cordially." Ciel somehow found me in the crowd and lead me up there to it, and had me sit. Sebastian then grabbed my cat Taffy, once again put of nowhere, and handed it to Ciel. He then placed it to my left.

"Here." It just lazily slept next to me. Alois was off to the side with a glass of cheap liquor in each hand. I hope he doesn't go past those two. As a line of hopeful pubescent boys each came up and gave me their gifts, I opened them, thanked them for the gift and handed it off to Sebastian. Angelina would then take down of the credentials of the family who gave me the gift, and the sent them off to the dining room to be entertained by Pluto, dressed as an unhappy jester. Nearing the end of the indulging process, a peculiar man and his extremely impressive son had approached me.

"Good evening Miss, I am the Duke George Louis the second of Versailles. This is my son, George Louis the third. He gives you this with great things in mind" I studied the boy: brown, almost red hair; dark blue eyes; somewhat tan skin. He looked like one of those gypsy children, his features and the way he spoke were smooth.

"I do hope you like this." He said, carefully handing me the small white box, cupping my hands while doing so. He felt electric, almost like an intense color of black. I could taste metal as I thanked him. I opened it up and found a necklace made from gold and tourmaline, the purple and yellow gradient kind. I looked at it and instantly my hands hurt, almost like someone consistently hammering then. Alois then followed after him.

"I picked only the best gift for you." He said smiling and saying sorry for earlier, though the apology wasn't as sincere as I hoped. I proceeded with the gift like the others. There was a box, no longer than my hand with a wind up on the back. I turned it until the box sprang open. It was a moving scene consisting of me and Alois getting married, with a peck on the cheek added and moving doves, along with light music. I was amused and slightly creeped out at the same time. After the last amount of people had come up, we all went to the dining room, and I had my own chair adorned with gold and flowers. Buttercups and roses were scattered along the room as the guests consumed more liquor than food. We were all then lead out of the dining room and into the ballroom. Elizabeth had us all dance a waltz, her partner being Pluto. I looked for Alois until Sebastian had told me he left, apparently he took my advice and decided to get some sleep. As I was walking to the kitchen, a hand calmly tugged me.

"I heard you needed a partner this evening Miss Rose." It was that gypsy boy from earlier.

"Oh, well thank you but I-"

"Please. Just one dance." He took my hand and pulled me close to him. We began dancing, floating to the middle of the ballroom. The music changed to a quick paced Germanic tune. His placed his hand right above my hip, leaving my cheeks a bit warm. I could see Ciel as we turned, him standing against the wall, sulking. I waved at him, and George quickly noticed. He grabbed my hand and pulled me closer, a bit too close for me.

"Um well this was quite fun but-"

"Please stay, I'm enjoining you." He recoiled, as I slightly struggled to get away from him. I was then pulled, by my waist from the boy. I was swiftly turned around, and immediately waltzed with Ciel.

"I didn't want you dancing with that tart." Ciel said quickly. I don't why he cares so much, he too gets worked up over silly things.

"Well thanks. Can you sneak me out of here? I'm actually really tired."

"Sure, let's go through the kitchen." He pulled me through the crowed of people and into the kitchen, passing Bardroy.

"Oi, hello Sir, what can I do for you and the Miss?"

"Nothing of importance Bardroy, just putting the brat out of her misery. Will you prepare a cake for her? A strawberry one."

"Right, I'll get to it."

We ran through to the hallway and finally came to his office. He opened the door and slightly pushed me in. I sat down on the chair in front of his desk, and he sat in his chair.

"You've made things a bit livelier. I really do think you're- um, you'll have to excuse me for a moment." Ciel said going out of the room. He walked back in after a few minutes, coughing and adjusting his vest.

"What did you need to walk out for?"

"Just checking how the ball was going. They'll leave in a little." He said softly. I started to fall asleep.

"Rose..? Rose? Rose you fell asleep. Ugh-" he began mumbling things as I drifted off.
