The Devil is a Lie

Chapter 14

The next morning

"________! _______ wake up!" I slowly opened my eyes to see Sebastian shaking me. I sat up, scratching my head. "When you are ready the young master would like to see you." He said. I quickly jumped out of bed and put on some clothes. Then I headed towards the study, I always find him there. I opened the door.

Ciel was reading papers on his desk. I let out a small sigh and then inched closer to him.

"You wanted to....see me." I shook a bit, then looked down. He threw the papers on the desk, leaving them out to see. I saw the top one it had my name on it, and all my personal information. My cheeks began to burn. He was reading my files.

"Why didn't you tell us?" He said facing me. I began to shake again. I closed my eyes.

"Because it was something you didn't need to know." He gave me a smirk.

"________, if I don't know anything about my servants, what type of master would I be? I know Finny was a test subject, Mey-Rin is an amazing sniper, and Bard was in war." He got up an sat on his desk. "The only person I didn't know about was you."

"What about Sebastian?" I said.

"I'll save his story for another time. Anyways I did some research." He picked up the papers and handed them to me. "To think, you were the queens niece."

That title didn't belong to me, I didn't want to be the queens niece. Everybody doing things for me at the drop of a hat, just because I'm related to royalty.

I looked down at the papers, scrunching them in my hands. "I'm sorry." I said loosening my grip. "I just didn't want you to treat me like all the others. Like someone that mattered." Two drops appeared on the papers. I closed my eyes and let out a small whimper.

"It's nothing to be ashamed of." Ciel said, taking a sip of tea. "If it was something you wanted to keep secret, then let it stay a secret." I quickly bolted my head up looking at him. Tears fell to the floor. My eyes felt heavy and I let the paper go. It slowly made its way to the floor.

"I won't treat you any different. You're still my maid, following my orders." He said crossing his legs and extending an arm out to me. "Come on get off the floor." I took his hand, and he hoisted me up off the floor. I wiped my face and smiled at him.

I bowed "Thank you, young master." He waved me off and I left. Once I closed the door I let out a deep sigh. Now that he knew, how am I going to deal with Tenebris? I'll just have to face her alone. I can't risk getting everyone hurt. I let out another sigh.

"Why is this so difficult?!" I scratched my head. Then someone ruffled my hair again.

"You're always thinking, with your mind racing all the time." Sebastian said. I held his arm.

"So you know too, don't you?" I looked up at him. He nodded.

"Well yes, but that stays in the household." He smiled at me. "There's some breakfast in the kitchen if you want any." He said taking his hand off my head. "Now if you'll excuse me." He opened to door to the young masters study. Pushing a tray along with him. The door closed and I made my way to the kitchen, to check out some of the food.

When I opened the door, I saw the other 3 servants and Tanaka eating the food on the table. I met Tanaka a few months ago. He has very low stamina, so he stays in this cute form all the time.

"Good morning everyone!" I said. Nobody said a word. It was silent, aside from the chewing.

"I uh...Good morning Ms.________." Mey-Rin said, munching on a piece of toast. I let out a sigh.

"I'm guessing you guys know too, huh." I grabbed a plate from the counter and began to pick out some food. "Yeah" all three of them said in unison. I placed the plate down.

"Alright you guys, listen up! Just because I'm the Queen's niece means nothing. I'm still your coworker and I shall expect no higher treatment. Do I make myself clear?" I slammed my hand on the table, and the three of them jumped up.

"Yes Ma'am!" The said saluting me and letting out a small chuckle at the end. I decided to laugh with them.

"But seriously guys, I don't want you to think higher of me. I'm just a servant, like all of you." They nodded and I went back to picking out food. I finished and say with them.

"Ms._______, may I ask you something?" Finny said, I nodded and continued to munch on some food.
"Why did you leave? You had everything you could've asked for." I shot my head up and looked at Finny. Then put my head back down.

"Simple really. I didn't have what I have here, happiness. You guys are like a family. Even though you mess up and make mistakes you just laugh it off and try again. Hell, you're even scolded. I had none of this at the castle. I was always expected to be the perfect pampered princess." I said. I heard a sniffle and looked up. Finny and Mey-Rin had tears rolling down their cheeks. I smiled at them. Mey-Rin lifted up her glasses and rubbed her eyes.

"Come on you guys. Yeah she's been through a lot but she's here now, and she's happy. As long as she's here she'll be fine!" Bard said as he punched hem both on the head. I smiled again.

"He's right guys, now help me clean this up. We have more work that needs to be done." I finished the last of my breakfast and started to clean up. They wiped up the last of their tears and began to help me.

~Moments Later~

"Alright I think that's the last of it!" I said wiping some sweat off my head. There was a slight tap on my shoulder. "When you get a moment, meet me in your room. Alone." That seductive voice belonged to Sebastian, but why does he want to see me? In my room, alone? I closed my eyes and let out a sigh. The door slammed close and I turned around.

"Thanks for your help everyone! Take some time to relax a bit!" Once I said that the 3 of them slumped on the ground, and I left the room questioning why Sebastian wanted to meet with me.

Once I opened the door to my quarters Sebastian slammed it shut. My back was to the door, his face closer to mine, and one hand blocking me on the side. My face turned red as I stared at him.

"Y...Yo...You wanted to see me?" I said as I twisted parts of my dress around my finger. He leaned in closer, and closer until we were touching noses. Suddenly he smashed his lips onto mine. I was shocked but soon embraced it. I pushed him away after I enjoyed my few moments. He slammed his other hand on the door, blocking my escapes.

"I know you enjoyed that my sweet. So tell me, what you've been talking about with Tenebris." My eyes widened, how did he know about that?

"No." I said, plain and simple. No doubt he was going to tell the young master. He looked at me with companionate eyes. Gazing into mine like a calm fire.

"Well why not, it's not like anyone's around." I closed my eyes and let out a sigh.

"I already said no. So get off of me would ya." He gave me a smirk and put one hand on my chin. "I know you're hiding something." I pulled away.

"Sebastian get off me NOW!" I said. He released me and I gave home a glare. I straightened my top and left without saying a word.
