BELLES POV
" Who are the Trancy's?" " They are the worst kind of people, especially the master of the house. But you don't need to worry about that my lady, I doubt they'll even be invited tonight". I smiled and shook my head " May I ask what is so funny?" " You are, your getting so rattled up just from thinking of the Trancy's, it's a little funny" " I apologise, a butler should not speak bad of other nobles" Sebastian smirked. " Go ahead, I use to speak bad about them, I still do" " But your a lady now" " But I also slept with a lot of noble men my age. I wouldn't be surprised if they were here tonight". Sebastian's eyes widened " My goodness I had forgotten all about that, do not worry my lady, nobody shall find out about your struggle, now if you excuse me" " Umm Sebastian" " Yes my lady" " I don't know how to dance".

Sebastian smiled " No need to worry my lady, I shall teach you", Sebastian took my hand and pulled me close to his body and positioned my body " And one two three, one two three" he repeated until we were dancing flawlessly, " I thought you couldn't dance" Sebastian said spinning me " I never have been able to" " Well you are doing perfectly my lady". Sebastian came to a stop and couldn't help but pull him into a big hug " Thank you so much Sebastian" " You're welcome my lady, please excuse me" and with that he left the room quickly.

SEBASTIANS POV
Seeing Belle smile was amazing but I was getting such a weird feeling inside me that I did not know how to explain. She pulled me in for a hug and I smiled, I breathed in her scent ' Oh no not this feeling again'. " Please excuse me" I said and practically ran out the door, I ran down to my bedroom and shut the door. I undid my waistcoat and threw my tailcoat onto my bed and looked at myself in the mirror " No Sebastian, she is off limits. I can not touch Belle, she is a noble and you are a butler". I looked at myself again and growled " But I want her so much, she is my mate, I will not let any other man have her" my eyes went red and the room went black at the thought of her marrying someone else.

BELLES POV
Mey-rin was tightening my corset when there was a knock on the door, " Come in" I said and Vincent came inside " Oh I'm sorry I'll come back later" " No need my lord, the dress will be put on now" Mey-rin said as she tied my corset and slipped the dark red slim fitted dress that showed off my shoulders down to my collar bones. " Are you nervous?" " Very, I don't know any of these people" " You don't need to worry, oh and don't worry about the ones you slept with, they are getting threatened by Sebastian as we speak" Vincent smiled and I laughed. " Do you know how to dance?" " Yes, Sebastian was teaching me this morning" " He is the best thing about this place, he's so loyal I don't think there's anything I would not trust him with". " Vincent, who are the Trancy's?" " They are business men, such as myself. I do some work with them time to time, why do you ask?" " Nothing it was just a name Sebastian said" " Any particular reason?" " I asked about a noble family that might be here and he said the Trancy's ". " Oh yes the Trancy's will definitely be here, as much as they are not liked they are respected and not inviting them would somewhat ruin my reputation, but don't worry I doubt they'd come, they don't really attend balls around this time of year" " How come?" " It's around this time that the head of house's wide died in child birth" " That's so sad" " It happens, anyway are you ready to go?".

I stood beside Vincent and took his arm " Yes I am", Vincent smiled at me " You look like such a beautiful young lady, let's go". Vincent and I walked to the top of the stairs when Sebastian announced us, " Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the head of the house Vincent Phantomhive and his long lost sister Belle Phantomhive", people were cheering and clapping while others whispered and seemed unsure if I was actually Vincent's sister. Vincent leaned in and whispered " Don't be nervous, your better than half of these people" I smiled and as we reached the bottom of the stairs Vincent started introducing me to the other nobles.

" So your Belle Phantomhive? Ciel and (Y/N)'s long lost daughter?" A woman asked me " Yes I am" I smiled " And how did you find this out my lord?" " A magical thing called a blood test" " Oh that's so new in medicine" " Yes I recommend you try it" " Why would I need one?" " Oh not for you my lady, for your son and husband if you know what I mean". The woman's mouth hung open and she walked away, Vincent smirked at me " I don't care how long you've been gone, nobody is going to be rude to my darling little sister" I smiled at Vincent as he walked away. " Excuse me Miss" I turned to see a handsome young noble man smiling at me " May I have this dance?" " Of course" I smiled and took his hand.

I had danced with almost all of the young noblemen and it was actually quiet fun, all the men were kind and caring which I did not expect. As I was finishing a dance, Vincent tapped his glass with a knife and got everyone's attention. " Good evening ladies and gentlemen, I hope you are all enjoying yourselves. I am sorry to interrupt such a fun night but I would like to make a toast to my beautiful sister who has finally returned home after almost eighteen years, I'm happy to have to back in my life Belle and I promise I won't let you out again".

Everyone clapped as I walked over to Vincent and hugged him. While everyone was talking the front door to the manor opened to reveal a blonde, middle aged nobleman and his butler. " Good evening" " Lord Trancy, I was not expecting you tonight" Vincent said, " And why is that? I was invited after all" " Just with the time of year, but your welcome to join in on the fun". " Thank you Lord Phantomhive, is this her?" I noticed Lord Trancy was looking at me and I stood still, " Why yes it is, Lord Trancy this is my sister Belle, Belle this is Lord Trancy". " My lord" I said and bowed " Such a pretty thing, just like her mother" he said as he slowly put his hand on my cheek " You look just like your mother".

I suddenly felt someone behind me and I turned slightly to see Sebastian glaring at Lord Trancy. " I think you may be making the young lady uncomfortable Lord Trancy. Maybe you should go for someone your age" " Ahhh Sebastian it's been a while. Last time I saw you was Lord and Lady Phantonhive's funeral" " I had to raise my master" " Having to raise two masters, must be one hell of a butler" Trancy smirked. " Anyway I am here for my son to meet Belle" " Ethan? I've never seen him at a ball before" Vincent said " I told him it was about time to get out there and look for a wife, so here we are". A nobleman about my age walked into the room, he wore a dark blue suite, had white blonde hair and bright blue eyes.

He walked over to me and bowed " My lady", I bowed back " My lord", " My lord, this is Belle Phantomhive, My lady this is Ethan Trancy" Lord Trancy's butler spoke. I stared at Ethan for a while " You look familiar" I said " You do too my lady, have we met before?" " I'm not sure". " I'd like to talk to you, so could I have this dance?" Ethan asked as he put his hand out to me " Of course" I said taking his hand. I know him, I know I do but from where, his eyes, his hair, his name all sound so familiar, but where do I know him.
