She looked like a princess in her fancy dress embroidered with gold and with a golden ribbon in her curly hair that was normally straight. But there was something missing. There was nothing on my sisters neck, although I had a diamond ne on mine. Mrs. Lisbon was at it again. She would y these kinds of pranks all the time. She must have not given my sister a ne on purpose. She probably thought that she would get away with it because everyone was too busy to look at the small details, but she wasnt about to get away with it this time.
Her neck looks a bit bare. I think she should put something on, what do you think?
I think amethyst would look good. Lisbon, can you give ra the amethyst ne that came inst week?
Yes, Master.
If I had said something, she would have talked back at me, but since it was a direct order from the duke she wouldnt dare do anything but obey.
I felt my stress melting away when I saw Mrs. Lisbons expression. I kissed my dad on the cheek and on the lips.
Youre the best.
You cute thing.
He kissed me ten times as punishment for me kissing him but it was nothing. I sat on hisp and watched my sister turn into a beautifuldy.
Dad, I want her to be happy.
Yes, all of our family should be happy.
They were good people, but Ciel was like a sore finger to them. In the original story the family didnt stop Ciels wickedness because they loved her too much. The original Ciel didnt want to share her parents love, so she would do wicked things to ra just because she was adopted. The only reason ra was able to get a happy ending was because of Alex. It was only after Alex revealed all the things Ciel had done that the duke gave up on her.
You reap what you sow.
It was heartbreaking to read about the duke and his wife after sentencing their beloved daughter to execution.
They had to watch their daughter be executed and furthermore, the second son rebelled because he didnt believe Ciel hadmitted such crimes and died in the process. I had fallen in love with this family that gives out limitless love, so I had to stop them from facing the same future.
If I could save ra and the Valentine family maybe the future would change a little bit.
Its almost time.
Its Teo.
When ra was almost ready Teo came to escort us. He has chocte hair just like his father. He has a very lightugh, so light that people who do not know him might not even be aware hesughing. He was the sad secondary male-lead of the story. Honestly, how could what hes thinking be so obvious on his face? Teo Valentine was going to be the future duke of the Valentine family and he was two years older than ra. He was also the person that saved ra every time Ciel bullied her. He should have been the hero of the story, he set off every g for ra.
However, when Alex the prince came along, all of the readers forgot about Teo and the author eventually linked Alex and ra together.
Poor Teo. He never got married, sold out his sister Ciel, and thought about ra even when he was copsing with the rest of the Valentine family.
Ciel, stop that and get down from father.
And he was the only person that didnt like Ciel.
Alright!
Teo was a real tsundere. He would look after ra warmly from behind her back and maintain a cold att.i.tude in front of her. Isnt he cute? I knew that he didnt like me so I hung onto him like a child.
Get off me.
You shouldnt be talking to your sister like that. If something happens to me youre going to be the head of the house.
The duke was very kind to Ciel but he was very strict on Teo since he was going to be the duke. So it wasnt a surprise that he didnt like his sister.
Youre too soft on her. Thats why she has no manners.
I decided to rub it in Teos face so I came up to him and said
Its okay. Im cute so its fine.
I said it in a baby like voice and made a face like he was looking at something disgusting.
Ugh, you hate it, right? I hate it too. But still, it was fun making fun of a fourteen year old kid.
Yeah, Ciel is cute so its alright.
He looked at me with a displeased expression as ra took my side. He must hate me for always sticking next to ra, the girl that he liked. I enjoyed making fun of him so much that I took my sisters arms andughed.
Lets go.
Sorry Teo, I know how you feel but ra is going to get together with the hero. We prepared ourselves and headed to the party room where all the guests were waiting.
Youre still cute.
Izark!
I brushed away my fathers hand and ran to the beautiful man with the blond hair. Ciel had three brothers. Teo, Izark and Louis. The second, Izark was the only son that had gotten blond hair from his mothers side. And he loved his sister to death.
Im sad that you only y with ra.
Come on Izark, you know how much I like you.
Yeah, I do. The dress suits you ra.
Izark and ra were the same age so the two of them werefortable around each other. Of course, they werent like this in the original story.
Ciel, Ill be in the party room then.
Alright sister.
I took Izarks hand after letting my sister go in first.
Youre always on my side, right?
Yeah, I would do anything for you.
I could sense that he wasnt lying. He really would do everything for Ciel. When Ciel began to hate ra, Izark was the one who bullied ra.
When things went south for Ciel, Izarkmitted treason and tried to avenge Ciel. He was eventually killed just like Ciel, and the Valentine family became next to nothing.
How sad.
Why are you sote, kiddo?
The owner of that voice was Louis, the reason for everything that happened. He was only two years older than me but he went at me every chance he had. He was a troublemaker and he was like a bat that was on no ones side. He would sometimes stick to ra and other times to Ciel.
When the Valentine family copsed, he sold everything that was left and went abroad. The problem was, he treated me like a toy and bullied me. He would be nice to ra since she was older than him but there was no reason for him to treat me with any respect.
Izark, Louis is making fun of me again.
Come on Louis, do you want to wear a dress too?
h.e.l.l no!
Of course, Louis was nothing next to Izark. So I took Izarks hand and looked around the party room.
Happy birthday.
It was tiring talking to adults that were trying to leave a good impression on the daughter of the duke. A person has to work his way around. Like a proper dukes child, I didnt forget to say h.e.l.lo to the adults with a happy smile on my face.
Ciel,e here.
It was finally time. I followed my oldest brother and went to where my family was. The duke and his wife and our five brothers and sisters. To be exact, four biological members and one orphan. We all went to the stand together. As the guest of honor, I took my parents hands and stood in the middle. My father said with a happy voice.
Thank you everyone foring here to congratte my daughter Ciel Valentines birthday.
The pping was amazing. It was at that time that a boy wearing a golden suit came walking in. He had ck hair and red eyes and was full of charisma.
The hero finally came.
It was good that ra wore a gold dress. He was the first prince and he was going to be the ruler of the country. I thought it would be nice for ra and him to at least get to know each other. At that time, Alex came up to the stand and said to my father.
Your Majesty, Gregory the Third congrattes Ciel Valentine for her eighth birthday and has sent a gift.
Thank you, your highness.
He was full of charisma, but he wasnt the heir to the throne, at least not yet. It would be great if he were but he had one weakness. Bloodline. No one knew who Alexs mother was yet. The emperor never married so there was no one by his side. Its a little moreplicated than that, but lets leave the politics for next time.
Even though he was confirmed as a prince, Alex was having a lot of trouble because his hair color was different from everyone else. So the emperor tried to get him to marry Ciel in order to ovee the issue of his bloodline. However, he fell in love with ra, who doesnt provide him any political advantages at all.
