I CAN'T HELP IT OKAY? I JUST REALLY SHIP CIEL AND ELIZABETH ETHEL CORDELIA MIDFORD

Her Lady, Elizabeth

"Elizabeth!" called a strict looking yet elegant woman rather sharply.

A blonde girl turned her head around, "Mother?"

"It's been exactly a week since he died, it's odd for a young lady especially in our status to be unbetrothed for so long," she said.

The blonde looked down at her shoes, when he had died, Elizabeth had tossed away all her flat shoes in hopes she can easily forget him. After all, she wore them for him.

5 years passed by quickly and Elizabeth had changed. Her usual blonde drills were still up but they weren't curled anymore. She grew tired of waking up extra early just to curl them. It was destroying her hair too. Elizabeth had dismissed the color of bright pink (mainly because she only wore them bright to attrast his attention), now she only wears pastel pink, pastel brown, and any other pastel color you can think of. She hadn't dismissed the frills, though she did lessen them, and her piercing green eyes was the same as ever.

She had grown slender, she changed her weekly fencing practice to nightly and she can beat her mother to it already.

She was still childish though.

"I know mother," Elizabeth looked down, "that's why I was thinking of moving into the Phantomhive manor."

Elizabeth's mother looked surprised, "to where?"

"The only reason why the manor is still standing is because the queen is protecting his name as a watchdog," Elizabeth said, "A few more complains about the manor and the queen would be forced to destroy it!"

"Elizabeth! You're a lady, you're twelve, you can't handle the manor alone," her mother sternly said.

"But what about Finny and the rest of the crew?" Elizabeth argued, "all they had was Ciel and they were robbed of him! Who will protect them?"

"They can handle themselves," her mother said, "If it bothers you then I will buy the manor, another addition to ours."

"Then the Funtom Company?" Elizabeth said.

"I have a name signed over the company."

"Ciel signed it to my name!" Elizabeth said and once again, her mother was surprised.

Elizabeth fluffed the ears of the newly released toy; it was half white and half black with a pink ribbon on the neck.

Outside, two kids ran to the window pointing at the rabbit. Elizabeth smiled at them and waved a hand. The two kids grinned wider and ran away to their mothers.

"When did he?"

"He gave it to me as a gift," Elizabeth looked sad, all her anger gone instantly.

Frances Midford was astonished. Sure she knew the little twelve year old Phantomhive was smart beyond imagination, but she didn't know he was just as dumb as he was smart.

He would sign half of the company rights to Elizabeth? He's dead so that means the company is fully in her name.

"Ciel also wrote the manor under my name," Elizabeth whispered softly. After she had received the invitation about Ciel's death, later that night, an envelope fell and written on it was Ciel's will and testament. Everything was practically written to Elizabeth's name, disregarding the $10m Ciel wrote on each of Elizabeth's family member (her mother, father and brother), and for the staff living under the manor.

"Lady Midford, Lord Trancy as he had informed," a footmen said, making Elizabeth turn around. She nodded and gave a small wave to the person in the company before leaving with the footmen.

Minutes later, she arrived the Phantomhive manor and was led straight to the guest room by Snake.

"Lady Midford!" a blonde immediately tackled her into a hug. Elizabeth hugged him back and she giggled, "A wonderful way of greeting as always from a Trancy."

Alois pulled back and smiled at her, he took her hand like a gentleman and led her to the chair opposite to his.

Her mother was quiet for a long time now, Elizabeth was getting worried, finally, her mother sighed, "Very well."

Elizabeth squealed and jumped to her mother happily, "Thank you mother!"

"To what do I owe you this visit, Alois?" Elizabeth cocked her head to the side curiously.

"I received your message, Elizabeth," Alois chuckled, "I fancy the idea."

"Really?!" Elizabeth's face lit up, but she collected her emotions seconds after, "I mean, thank you Alois."

Alois laughed, like a kid, "It's fine if you don't put up act here you know, I won't tell."

Elizabeth sighed, "I was actually afraid you won't accept."

"How can I ignore a damsel in distress?" Alois teased. Elizabeth smiled, "I know, I would've called you a shame in the Trancy family."

Alois held a fist to his heart, "You hurt me my lady!"

Elizabeth only laughed, "I'm kidding Alois, I really owe you for this."

The next morning, it spread all through the country like virus.

The news about Lady Elizabeth of the Midford family getting engaged with Lord Alois of the Trancy family.

Only, the news didn't stop within the country, almost every influential family who had their eyes on Elizabeth was sad that they hadn't won over her and the rest simply thought it was sad to have their angel taken again from them.

"Isn't that cute, my lord?"

"Shut up."

"I think it's rather cute," Sebastian said, grinning while poking at the cheeks of the blue teenager, "I never would've thought you were the jealous type."

Ciel turned away swiftly, as if he heard nothing. If there was one thing Ciel liked about being a demon, it was that they were all tall. He was taller; under five years, he had grown almost as tall as Sebastian, give or take a few inches.

His jet blue hair was untrimmed and it reached a few millimeters under his eyebrow and the longest hair he had on the back of neck reached his shoulders.

"It's alright to say you're jealous my lord," Sebastian said, his sharp heels clicking on the marble surface loudly.

Ciel whipped his head to Sebastian, his eyes flashing red, "I would shut your mouth if I were you."

"I would shut yours if I were you," Sebastian said, pinching Ciel's chin together with one of his hand.

Ciel slapped his hand away, "Go away, our training ended 2 years ago, leave me alone."

Sebastian chuckled, "I can't do that, Carmen has more power over you, over me."

Ciel clicked his tongue, "What does Carmen need with me this time?"

"She wants you to attend a ball," Sebastian said.

Ciel stopped waling and turned around, "Above?"

"So I was informed."

"Why not you?" Ciel tilted his head to the side, one habit he got from all those years with her, "You're her mate"

"Not my mate," Sebastian drew his breath sharply, "Carmen isn't my mate."

"Whatever," Ciel said resuming his walk, "Tell her I refuse."

"There is no refusing Carmen," Sebastian chuckled. "You will need to attend this ball as her escort and you cannot refuse," he said, "My lord."

Before Ciel could disagree, Sebastian had disappeared and he was left alone in the never-ending, dark hallway.

"What are you doing Carmen?" Ciel asked in horror, the pink haired demon smiled, "I'm not stepping inside that horrid manor!"

"But dearest Ciel," Carmen smiled, "You agreed to it"

Although the pink haired demon was as tall as Ciel, she was over a hundred years old but she did not look a year over twenty. Her light pink hair was into a bun and she was wearing a black and red dress, a blood red ribbon adorned her neck, "Come on you baby."

"I'm already a teenager," Ciel said with his arms crossed.

"Oh but in this realm you are equivalent to a new born," Carmen said, and with one last final tug, she had pulled Ciel into the large familiar great hall. The usual black and white tiled floor was now a shiny wooden tile and the gothic walls were a soft crème. The chandelier sparkled gold and Ciel wondered how hard it must have been to polish it, and how Mey-rin ever managed.

"Good evening," A sweet voice greeted them, Ciel didn't look, he was staring at the ceiling. But the soft scent of lavender and flowers tickled his nose.

"You look lovely Lady Carmen, if I wasn't engaged I would have chosen you as my lady," a male said, there was that light sound of a slap and a chuckle.

"Thank you for your invitation," Carmen said beside him, giggling, "And my, how kind of you my lord. But I'd rather you stick with your fiancé, she is a lot lovelier than I."

"You tease," the sweet voice giggled, "and who is this escort, Lady Carmen?"

Carmen elbowed Ciel and Ciel snapped back to reality, in his hurry, his red eyes met a pair of lovely forest green ones, and his eyes grew wide.

"This is Lord Phuntom," Carmen said since Ciel was too busy staring at Elizabeth. Elizabeth had her hair down and the upper half was tied to the back into an intricate braid. She was wearing a lovely pink dress and a rose choker.

She also smelt wonderful.

"Lovely to meet you Lord Phuntom," Elizabeth said to the blue haired guy. To Elizabeth, he looked vaguely familiar, but she dismissed it. The last time she saw a pair of red eyes was with Sebastian and his, but here she is with a red eyed lady and lord.

The lord bowed slightly and his eyes trailed the arms on Elizabeth's lower back, leading to a familiar pale blonde hair he despised.

"Thank you for your presence my lady and lord," Alois said, smiling, "If you excuse us."

"But of course!" Carmen said, "you are the stars of the night after all."

Elizabeth smiled at Carmen, and then at Lord Phuntom.

Ciel watched as the pair greeted another guest and then another, and then another.

"You smelled that right?" Carmen said to the blue haired demon.

"Tasty," Ciel nodded and Carmen hit him on the head. Ciel's eyes glowed and her growled at her, "What was that for?"

"That's not the smell of food," Carmen said annoyed, "That's the smell of a mate."

Cookie: I ship CielxElizabeth! What do we call them? Midhive hahaha I joke. This story is slightly different from others, then again, everything is different from everything.
