Chapter Twenty Three

BELLES POV

I took Ethan's hand and followed him as he brought me out to the dance floor. " So you have finally returned to us" " Yes, though I still don't know if this life is for me, it's not what I'm accustomed to" " May I ask where you have been for so long?". " I-I think it would be best not to tell any nobleman about my past, it might ruin my future, all I can tell you is that I spent most of my time on the streets of London".

" How on earth do you speak so mannerly if you weren't raised a noble woman?" " I have a great teacher" I smiled as I turned and looked at Sebastian " Sebastian has helped me study, change my accent and cockiness" " Sounds like he's a great butler" " He's more than that, more like a friend" I smiled at him before I turned back to Ethan, " But you do look weirdly familiar".

" You said you lived on the streets of London, did you ever live with a man and his wife in an old run down house?" I stared at him confused " Yes-I-I did...how did you know that?" " My father used to bring me to that house once a week for three months, but then we were informed the little girl ran away" " I-I did. Your that little boy who use to visit me?" " And your the little girl I use to visit". " How is this possible?" I asked confused " I don't know, I don't even know how my father knew that couple" " I'm going to find out".

I stormed over to the two butlers, my brother and Lord Trancy were with Ethan walking behind me. " Excuse me my lords" I spoke catching their attention, " Ah Belle how can we help you?" Lord Trancy asked " I have a question I'd like to ask you my Lord" " Ask away my lady" he smiled at me. " I was just wondering why you and Ethan used to visit me as a child?" " I don't know what you mean" " When I was a child I lived with an abusive couple in a run down house in London, you used to visit me once a week with Ethan".

Lord Trancy was silent for a moment before laughing " My lady, why would I visit a run down old peasant house. And how would I know where you were? You were taken as a brand new baby". Sebastian glared at Lord Trancy and his butler while Vincent glared at Lord Trancy " Well I'm sure it was a misunderstanding Belle, maybe it was a tax collector who came to the door you grew up in to collect taxes" " Your right, I apologise Vincent and to you Lord Trancy" " Oh please, think nothing of it" he smirked.
