Yes Your Highness

Claude's POV:

I and Sebastian had their lunch ready and some sweets prepared. We cleaned up the mess and went to the room knocking while we had the food on a rolling table.

"Come in" the masters allowed.

I and Sebastian walked in with each of our trays. Sebastian had his master's food which was normally organized.
I had my highness' food and I decided to make his food look rather enjoyable, with sights of relatable fun dishes.
We set it on their tables in front of them.

Earl looked at me then at alois who gave him a small smile.
Sebastian began to put a napkin on the earls lap, so did I, to my highness.
Now we remained standing next to our masters.

"So you think it'll be good?" Earl asked looking at alois waiting for an answer while he took a bite of his food.

"I don't know but I hope so " alois began to eat. They chatted about games and other stuff such as their companies and what they wanted to do with it.
Pretty normal.

After an hourlong, Alois decided to end the day. He waved with a smile saying goodbye to Ciel and his butler as they stand outside the door, Ciel did the same.
Alois got in the carriage and I got in closing the door behind us. Finally the carriage began to go back out of the London.

We were by the city alois was looking out of the window and surprisingly he yelled "Stop!"
I took a second to realize why he just yelled. The carriage stopped and alois rushed getting out of he carriage.
I followed but at my normal speed.

"Look Claude!" He ran to a small store glass looking at a purple violet Butterfly. He pressed his hand on the glass and he slowly began to change mood.

"I've always wanted to own these types of butterflies....." he sighed. "They're.... so... special to me and I can recall the memories that I treasured the most..." he sniffed softly but he made it softer enough for me not to hear but I noticed it.
"I.. Wish I could have a full room of these beautiful butterflies flying across the room... I won't have them trapped... I'll open the windows wide open and see them fly out free..." I could see his face reflecting the glass as I saw myself there standing. His sweet small smile began to form. "But this one" he pointed softly at the glass with the tip of his finger. "I will treasure it and care it for all my life until goodbye ."

I looked at the Purple violet butterfly fly in its small cage.

"Come on let's go it will be dark out if we stay longer here" he began to walk back to the carriage. I followed and took a small stop looking back at the butterfly.

"Claude"

I began to walk behind him and got on the carriage. Later it was nighttime and we arrived back to the manor.
Hannah and the triplets waited for us outside the manor once we arrived, I carried him out of the carriage.

Hannah walked to me. "He fell asleep on the way here" I walked to the entrance of the manor as a Thompson opened the door and the others helped close the carriage doors and open the masters room.

Once I got on his room I set him laying on his bed. I walked to close the door and open his closet taking out his nighttime dress.

I walked over to him and took off his coat, his boots and long knee socks putting them aside. I then began to unbutton his shirt and vest taking it off and slided off his bootyshorts.

As I grabbed the dress I turned to him and saw him slowly opening his sky blue eyes and focused on me.

"Claude..." he smiled softly.

"I'll change you" I began to put his dress on.

I got up and grabbed the candle holder turning around but my hand got gripped by his. I looked back and saw him sitting up and crawl towards me. He gripped on my coat and hugged me resting his head on my chest.

".... why can't I hear it Claude?" He said softly.

I didn't know what he meant.

"Why can't I hear your heart?" He questioned.

I looked down on him. "I don't have a heart your highness....Demons do not feel or-" I got cut off.

"Stop... stop and stop!" He pulled away and backed away. " you always bring up why demons and how they have almost nothing! Why can't I at least hear you say something nice or do something like a human can!" He crawled back to the sheets and covered himself.

At that Moment I found him very interesting.
I chuckled to myself.

"I'm sorry your highness " I bowed and I saw him peeking out of his sheets. I got up and began to walk away and blew out the candle as it turned dark and closed the door I walked back to my room.

I got ready for bed and later down looking up at the ceiling. I began to think of him and his words made me want to think why?... why can't I have real feelings or a heart?... I placed my hand over my left side of my chest sure I felt nothing.

I soon heard small cries from his room. I had abilities to hear from afar. Just then... I frowned and felt a small beating on my hand.
I got surprised... this can't be my heart... no I don't have a heart... "I don't know what to do anymore Claude..." I could hear... this thing inside me that began to beat more was dreadfully painful. Hearing the master cry was... painful.

My heart began to beat more as I reviewed the memories. His smiles, His laugh, his happiness.... I began to turn sick.
Or was it love sick?

Soon the crying stopped.

The heart stopped beating and everything went silent again.

I don't know what just happened. But this must been a misunderstanding thing going on... maybe I'm just crazy ...

I will get my rest, tomorrow will be a unpleasant day.
