Creature Of A Broken Past (Undertaker x Reader)

Chapter 39: Dispute

We had finished everything we wanted to do today, and now we had just made it to the Marquessate Of Midford. Knocking on the door, Paula opens it up soon afterwards and lets us in.

Leading us all into the drawing room, we all wait until everybody gathers around and takes a seat. “It’s definitely a surprise seeing you here, how’s everyone doing?” Aunt Francis questions.

“Aunt Francis, I believe you are acquainted with the Undertaker, am I right? He is one of those who has assisted with the ‘duties’ of the house of Phantomhive since our father’s generation.” I explain nervously.

“Hehe, hello. Good to see you again, Lady Francis Phantomhive.” Undertaker greets as he lifts his hat up before seating next to me. “Mr. Undertaker. You haven’t changed a bit since my brother was alive.” She states, surprised. “You think so? Well, I could say the same thing about you, my lady. You look as if you were just born yesterday, in fact.”

“So what do we have the pleasure of this sudden visit? Have you finally come to restart your lessons?” She asks as she looks over at me. “Um, I suppose I should have one later perhaps. But that isn’t why we are here. I know it’s sudden, and definitely... Last minute. I actually meant to stop by a few days ago... But of course something happened to where I couldn’t make it until now.”

I was becoming more nervous with each passing second, and I realized I was starting to pointlessly ramble on. “I have a bit of an announcement I’d like to share with all of you, along with an invitation.” I explain as I look between all of them. “An invitation? What will be going on?” Uncle Alexis questioned.

“You see... I’ve actually found my soulmate. The one I know I want to spend the rest of my life with. I know I am meant to be with him, and everyone else I’ve introduced him to all say the same thing. We’re getting married on Friday, and we would love to have you all there.”

“You’re... Getting married?” Edward asks, stunned. “Well, who is he? Did you bring him with?” Uncle Alexis asks. “Of course I brought him with.” I then look over at Undertaker and smile as I take his hand.

“You can’t be serious, Amora? He’s at least half your age!” Edward spats, making me angry. “Are you sure about this, Amora? You know you were supposed to marry Edward-” Aunt Francis begins before cut her off. “Edward is the one who found somebody else! He told me last time we were here that he’s engaged to another! Besides, I never wanted to marry him anyway, I’m sorry.”

“Edward, you what?!” She looks over at him, surprised. “Mom, you knew I was with her-”

“But you never said anything about being engaged to her! Especially with Amora coming back!”

“It doesn’t matter to me! Why should I be forced to marry someone who I don’t love in that way? You can’t force love! I’ve found myself someone who I love with every fiber of my being, and I know he loves me just as much! Look, Ciel has accepted it! I’ll even go as far to say, even though it’s going to sound completely insane, but I know our parents have accepted it as well!”

“Amora-”

“I have had two dreams since our relationship started with our parents visiting me! Sure, the first time they weren’t all that happy about it. But the second time they visited me, they were happy for us! Especially dad! They know he will treat me right, just as he has been! He makes me happy, so why can’t you be happy for me?!”

“You’re only 18 years old, Amora, how could you possibly know what true love is!? You haven’t even given Edward a chance-”

“He has someone else! I do not want to be with him or marry him! And excuse you but my parents knew they were in love with each other at a young age! They had me at 18! So what’s the difference with me?! There is only one and that is that I am not pregnant!”
