Chp.14 The Secret And The Rules

After eating they led me around the mansion and the gardens.

"And there is the labyrinth, but don't go in without me or Claude, it is not a very nice place to anyone but us. So what would you like to do now?" He walks up to me and smirks at me, he is so close we breath the same air. "I can show you a good time if we go to my room, I am sure you would enjoy yourself." He purrs slightly.

"No thank you, I only have one person that I would want to anything of the sort with, and he is not here." I say, keeping up my neutral emotions. "Thank you for the offer though."

Alois growls in frustration. "What does he have that I don't, that phantomhive is such a-"

He can't even finish his sentence before I am laughing so hard that it hurts. He and Claude look at me, Alois in confusion and Claude neutral but his eyes shadowed worry. Once I calmed down I righted myself and sighed. "I can't believe you thought I was talking about Ciel! I am no cougar, I don't go for younger guys." Claude chuckled and Alois looked even more confused.

"I don't understand you look like you are our age though, maybe a year older. Also if it isn't Ciel, then how is it?" Alois tried to understand.

"I am older then the oldest human alive. I am 208 years old I just age slowly. And as for the guy, you probably don't know him, and it doesn't even matter anymore, we aren't aloud to see each other." I shrug before continuing walking. Alois shook off his confusion about what just happened.

"But what I am thinking doesn't need commitment. It's just for fun." He tries again. "And it might help you get over whoever it is."

"Thank you but I said no. Now if you wish to play a board game or something else that is acceptable for two unmarried people can do then I am all for it." I state simply.

"How about we go swimming! I love swimming!" Alois jumped as he thought of this new idea.

"Sure, but I don't have any swim suits."

"No problem, Claude can go get you some. Or the triplets." Alois has this all planned out already. "We can go down south to the edge of Britain and swim in the sea!"

"Alright, but I also don't have any spare clothes, because I don't bring around a bag with me in case I get kidnapped." I inform him.

"I will take care of it miss Rouge." My father says before disappearing. Alois runs off into the mansion to go get ready. I decide to go on a little adventure because I know it will take a little bit of time so I wonder into the labyrinth.

It is huge at least ten times the size of the phantomhive one. I am a fair distance into the maze when I come around a corner and come face to face with a violet haired demoness with a bandage on her left eye. "Oh! Hello, I am Rouge, I am a guest here."

"My name is Hannah, I am one of the servants. You should not be in here it is dangerous... but not as dangerous as you could be. Please excuse my rudeness." She bows and keeps her head down.

"Why won't you look at me? I am not royalty, I am just a servant like you. What happened to your eye? Sorry, that was rude of me, curiosity killed the cat." I rambled, intrigued by this lady who was obviously terrified of something. She looks up at me shyly and fearfully.

"It was a punishment, I dared to look the young master in the eyes. It is what I deserve." She answers. "And you have nothing to be sorry for, I am sorry for you, escape if you can." She said before walking away, obviously trying to get away from me.

I continue walking around in the labyrinth when I find this beautiful opening with a pond and delicate looking flowers which I know to be poisonous if the pollen gets into ones system, mainly from being inhaled straight from the flower. I keep my distance and sit along the edge of the opening and do not give into the urge to go smell, which is caused by the hormones emanated from the flower.

I sit there and end up loosing track of time, Lune stays by my side the whole time. I only realize it's dark when my stomach makes a grumbling noise and Lune whimpers.

"Ok Luneriana let's head back. Alois is probably throwing a fit." I say as I stand and turn to go from where I came when I see my father there in front of me.

"You are right, he is throwing a fit. But it cannot be helped. I thought my highness made it clear that you are not to come in here without one of us." Claude smiled, which seemed like he doesn't do often, and it was nice to know that I was the reason behind this smile.

"Yes but I can take care of myself. And I am here with you now so does it not qualify?" I ask before taking his arm so he can lead me back. "What time is it? I lost track."

"It is almost nine o'clock. His highness was worried that you had gone back to Ciel. But then Hannah had told me she had seen you here and I could sense that you were still close, so I told my master not to worry, that you would not leave so soon." He seemed more relaxed now then he did around Alois.

"Can I ask you why you never came to find me, why you left me with that wretched woman who was my mother?" I asked before I could stop myself.

"I went to find you eight years after you were born but your mother had told me you had died. I did not know what she had put you through, and she disappeared before you were born and angels are hard to find if they don't want to be, especially half-angels." He said, sadness seeped into his voice. "Then I heard that you were alive and I wanted to go find you but I couldn't because I was under contract."

"I understand and I forgive you. It always seemed strange how demons are supposed to be evil and angels good but that always seemed backwards." I chuckle slightly.

"Hmm... By the way, may I ask who you were talking about earlier when my lord was trying to get you into his bed?" He growled the last bit, obviously hating the idea of that happening.

"Do you know a reaper by the name of William? William T. Spears? I had a thing with him for a long while until Lord Death found out, which did not end in happy smiles." I explain as little as possible. My father just nods and soon we are at the dining hall, and he pulls out my chair for me to sit down.

I am just about to take my first bite when Alois bursts through the door. "Where have you been? I never said you could go anywhere! You are living her so you must do as I say!" He walks right up to me and as he was yelling I put my fork down so that when he goes to slap me I catch his hand and bend his wrist back, not to break it just so that there is pain. "Ow! Stop that hurts!"

"You were just about to hit me, I thought I made it clear that you are not to touch me in such a way." I say coolly.

"CLAUDE! HELP!" He cries out.

"He won't be able to do anything to save you, I am faster, and a lot worse then him. I have all the useful things from both angel and demon." I whisper in his ear. "And Claude would not dare think of trying to get you away from me because I could end you the moment he flinches." Alois was whimpering in my arms, I had shifted to behind him to get my point across through fear.

"Ok I am sorry! I won't do it again! Please, I don't want to die! I am scared." Alois sobbed in my arms, he was shaking and everything.

"Miss Rouge, I would appreciate it if you didn't threaten his highness. If you would let him go so that you can both eat and go to bed for we have a very early morning tomorrow." Claude said, at which I let go of Alois and sat down again and started eating.

My father led Alois to his spot and cleaned up his face before he too started eating. Dinner happened in silence and afterwards Hannah lead me to my room for the night. It was very elegant and plush and I fell asleep with ease, half awake when my father came in and kissed my forehead.
