Servant's Sister (Claude X Reader)

Chapter 4

  --------------------------------Three Days Later--------------------------

Today is the day of the ball, and the day I'm going back to the manor. My things were all packed and I was waiting for the carriage. I had told Undertaker that I wanted to see my father. He had arranged that he'd come to the party... I just hope Sebastian doesn't see or sense him. The ball is going to be a bit of a masquerade so he'll be in costume. The carriage arrived and Undertaker went with me to the manor. When we arrived at the manor, Sebastian opened the door with a smile.

"Master, (Y/N) has arrived!" He took my bags and we went in.

Ciel came down the steps, "Welcome back (Y/N). Are you prepared for tonight's ball?"

I nodded, "I'm just a little nervous about how many people will be there." I had to admit, I didn't really enjoy another persons company.

"There won't be too many." Ciel smiled, he sent Sebastian to go put my bags in my room. Undertaker , Ciel and I sat down on the couch. "Undertaker, will you be joining us this evening for (Y/N)'s ball?"

Undertaker laughed, "Of course! I wouldn't want to miss it!" I laughed too.

After talking to Ciel for a few minutes, me an Undertaker went to my room to discuss father. We got to the room and I began to unpack my things. Undertaker sat on my bed. "What costume will he be wearing?" I folded my clean clothes and shoved them in the correct drawers. All of my dirty clothes were put into a pile to be washed later.

"He said something about having a penguin mask on. I think it's absolutely absurd." He laughed at his remark.

I smiled slightly, "I wonder what I should ask first," I turned to face Undertaker,"His name is Isaac Michaelis correct? He's also a demon?"

He nodded, "Correct and correct. Your mother was the mortal in the relationship."

--------------------------------Time Skip--------------------------

It was around 2:30 in the afternoon when I kicked Undertaker out of my room. I took a quick bath and did my hair. The guests would be arriving around 3:30. As I slipped into my ball gown, someone knocked on my door. "One second!" I finished putting it on and went to answer the door.

An Indian boy, around the age of twenty, was standing at my door with another Indian man beside him. Sebastian pushed his way between them and stepped into my room. "(Y/N), I'd like you to meet Prince Soma," Sebastian said pointing to the Indian boy who knocked on my door. He smiled and blushed a little, "And this is Agni." Sebastian pointed to the white haired man standing next to Prince Soma.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." I gave a small bow and smiled. Prince Soma only blushed brighter.

Agni smiled and said "We've heard many wonderful things about you. Prince Soma wanted to meet you as soon as possible."

I laughed a bit. "There's nothing really special about me."

"Everyone is special in their own way!" Prince Soma blurted out then quickly covered his mouth. That only caused me to laugh more.

"Excuse me for a second." I pulled Sebastian aside. "What is the meaning of this?"

He looked down at me in confusion, "What do you mean? They wanted to meet you so I invited them to the party."

"Fine," I sighed, "can you please tell them to leave my room? I still need to prepare." I honestly didn't feel like dealing with an awkward Indian Prince. Sebastian nodded and everyone left my room.

Once they left the room, I laid back down on my bed. A few minutes went by and I accidentally fell asleep.

--------------------------------Time Skip--------------------------

I'm guessing it was after 3:30 because someone was frantically knocking on my door. Getting up slowly, I made my way to the door and opened it. Undertaker scooped me up into a hug. "What were you doing in there for so long?" I pulled away from him and looked up.

"I accidentally fell asleep." I giggled.

Undertaker took my hand and started leading me to the ball room. "Well, I'm glad you're alright."

When I entered the room, everyone erupted into a cheer. There were a few people who stayed quiet I smiled and waved to everyone. Sebastian came up to me worried, "Are you alright? Where have you been?"

"I'm fine. I accidentally fell asleep when you left the room." I tried to lighten the mood.

He hugged me. "You should really be more careful and check the time."

I frowned, "I'm sorry."

"It's fine." He said smiling. "Go and chat with people." I nodded and left.

Basically I just stood at the snack table making small talk with a few people. A blonde boy about the same age as Ciel bumped into me causing me to stumble into the table. The boy turned to me but a man with golden eyes and black hair helped me. Is that... Claude?

"I apologize for my master's carelessness." He looked down at me then his master.

I smiled at the both of them even if I was in a bad mood because of it. "Accidents happen."

His mater looked up at him, "Claude, I'm going to go find Ciel." The blonde boy skipped away from us.

"So it is you..." I mumbled. I glanced at the floor then looked up at him. "Aren't you the man that crashed through Sebastian's window?" I smirked.

He laughed, "It was only business." He looked down at e a bit suspicious. "Were you the girl hiding behind he bed?"

I giggled a bit and nodded. "Yes I'm her. My name's (Y/N)." He took my hand and gently kissed my knuckles causing me to blush.

"Nice to formally meet you." His eyes flicked from me to someone else as he let go of my hand. "I'm guessing you're Sebastian's lover?"

My eyes widened and the though of it made me a bit sick. "Eww! No, no, no!" I laughed, "He's my brother. He tried keeping me safe." Wait a minute... didn't Claude get thrown out of a window? My senses began to pick up on something. If he got flung out of a window and he looks absolutely fine, could he be a demon?

He smiled. "Alright. Happy Birthday by the way."

"Thank you." We stood there talking for a while. His master, Alois, was going to invite Ciel over for tea and asked if I would be taking Ciel along with Sebastian. I said I might be able to. Eventually Alois dragged Claude away.

From the corner of my eye, I saw a man in a penguin mask walking towards me with Undertaker. I sighed and stiffened a bit as my heart began to race. Time to meet my father. He was Sebastian's height with short black hair that was gelled back and he had my (e/c) eyes. I smiled at them. "(Y/N), this is your father..." Undertaker gave him a gentle push forward.

"(Y-Y/N)? My god... You grew to be a beautiful woman. You look exactly like your mother." He gave me a small hug. He doesn't sound anything like what Sebastian had said. He had a gentle, caring and kind tone. Maybe he has changed?

"It's nice to finally meet you." I smiled again, Undertaker was standing off to the side, scouting for Sebastian. "I haven't heard much about you... I though you were dead to be honest."

He laughed, "Well, I should've been."

I looked up at him tempted to ask what happened to my mother. His eyes darted around the room before settling on mine. I awkwardly cleared my throat before speaking again, "May I ask what truly happened to my mother?"

His expression contorted into pure confusion. "What on Earth do you mean?"

"I mean, people have told me you killed her out of anger." I glared at him a little. It may have been 17 years ago, but who can forget murdering their own wife?

He sighed and looked down. "You may not believe me but, I didn't do it." He looked up and a tear rolled down his pale cheek. "I didn't have enough money to pay the debt collector one month. They said that if I don't have the money by a certain day, they'd kill the one I loved the most. Your mother sacrificed herself for you and Sebastian to be safe. After the men killed her, they planted the gun on me. They framed me." His cheeks were stained with tears and his eyes were pink and swollen.

Should I believe this man? He could be lying to gain my trust. Then again no man who killed his wife out of anger would cry for forgiveness. I bit the inside of my lip and hugged him.
