A Wizard's Romance 33 Old Woman

The devilishly handsome face of his came near to Ciel's face and very sensually he whispered

"Oh little sweetie, you are still the same. Headstrong but cute and your giggles I can never forget them, you witch "

When Ciel heard what Arthur has said her already pink face became even pinker and she replied "Your words are as crazy as you, idiot man "

Ciel was going crazy while listening to him. Even though he had his disguise Ciel could easily tell that the man in front of her was someone very handsome.

Though she knew that the way this man was acting was strange but strangely she didn't felt any disgust or repulsion for him.

Arthur felt that she probably would have forgotten about the incident so he let go of her.

Miss Ciel, I was telling you the truth but you are not buying it. Now what am I supposed to say?

Arthur made a pitiful face which was dramatically sad.

Ciel knew that he was acting and it made her p.i.s.sed off but she didn't shout on him.

She was amused and frustrated at the same time.

"Oh, lord! How can a man be so dramatic", she cursed under her breath.

Arthur knew that she was a hard nut to crack and challenging her limits would do no good so he tactfully brought his expressions to normal.

"Lady Ciel, I think we should leave. I don't mind accompanying you the whole night but I think your sister would be searching for you. Shall we "Arthur asked her with a smile on his face.

"Sure, let's leave", Ciel said casually.

Two of them walked for a bit and in no time they were standing at the front gate of the venue.

From afar they saw a beautiful couple.

The man was holding 3-4 bags filled with different things in one hand and the other hand was holding a beautifully wrapped mini box.

The girl was holding two sweet candies in both of her hands.

From the looks you could easily guess the harmonious and cheerful expressions of them. The girl seemed bubbly and was feeding herself and the man, cotton candies which she was holding. The man too had a faint smile.

"Why do I think that my sister has forgotten about me", Ciel grumbled.

"She is just enjoying herself, what's there to be jealous about. I am here too but you won't bother looking at me, forget about enjoying ", Arthur teased Ciel.

Ciel.....she was speccless.

"Shameless", she hissed.

Camy noticed her sister Ciel and the man. They were both arguing and she felt guilty for leaving her sister with a strange man.

Vladis knew what she was thinking so he consoled Camy "Don't be sad. Look your sister is just arguing. She isn't angry. It's probably just a banter"

Camy knew that her sister was not someone who would talk to anyone so if she was talking to someone then it means that she at least thought them as an acquaintance. With that she kept her worries aside.

"Ciel, How was your trip," Camy asked?

"We enjoyed Camy. What about you? I can see you shopped quite a lot".Ciel said gleefully.

"Vladis, sorry for the trouble caused by my sister", she offered a sweet smile to Vladis.

"It was not a trouble, not at all".Vladis said with a faint smile.

"What's in the box Camy?" Ciel asked?

"It's a brooch, Ciel. Vladis didn't allow me to spend my money and instead he paid for everything so I bought a gift for him" Camy said casually.

On the other side Arthur sulked and shot a glare to Ciel.

Ciel knew that she was in deep waters so she immediately changed the topic of discussion.

"Sis I think it's late now. We should leave for home otherwise mother will scold us for traveling late night".Ciel spoke.

Camy nodded her head in understanding.

Soon everyone sat inside the carriage. Camy was too tired so she slumped on Ciel's shoulder. Ciel had also shut her eyes closed. There was complete silence but it wasn't spooky at all instead it was calm and peaceful.

It was a silent ride and soon they reached their destination. Ciel woke Camy up and then they went inside the mansion.

The atmosphere inside the carriage changed abruptly. Arthur was now quiet and stoic and Vladis didn't have a smile in his face.

"You noticed" Arthur asked?

"Yeah, They are really hardworking and brave too".Vladis commented.

"I don't think the men who earlier came have anything to do with them" Arthur said with a serious look.

"What do you mean?" It was now Vladis turn to ask questions.

"Well I don't think they are stupid enough to send ordinary a.s.sa.s.sins to kill us.

Are you forgetting who are we dealing with.No matter what, they would never make such a stupid mistake?"

"The a.s.sa.s.sins who came were ordinary men with no magic so it's totally impossible that the a.s.sa.s.sins were sent by them."

"Earlier when Ciel and I were strolling I noticed that Ciel was walking aimlessly towards a stall of ornaments and charms. Though they were all fake, I noticed magical energy coming from a bracelet."

"Not only this but the intriguing part was, the bracelet which Ciel was going to pick up was the same bracelet which was radiating energy," Arthur explained pensively.

Vladis knew that something was wrong. It was not the way things should have progressed. There was someone in the dark trying to kill Camy and Ciel. It was a serious matter

.

"Didn't you saw the culprit. I think we should send someone to investigate. What do you think?", Vladis asked.

"There is no need. I saw an old lady near the stall who was smiling when Ciel was walking towards the stall but as soon as she saw me holding Ciel's hand and stopping her her smiley face became sinister."

"I don't know who the old lady was but she was definitely a human and after a failed attempt she would have probably fled from there."

"No magic means no clues," Vladis said frustratedly.

"Ask that man to hurry up and meet me tomorrow. It's been days since I have sent him to investigate it."

"Sure" Vladis replied.

Arthur wished not to talk more but it was not the case for Vladis.

"Say Arthur why you care so much for Ciel. Is it only just because of friends.h.i.+p or ....."Vladis dragged his sentence.

"Didn't you said that you are in love with the girl who usually comes in your dreams," Vladis asked?

Arthur became annoyed and gave a ridiculous look to Vladis. Vladis became confused and gave a stupid smile to Arthur.

Arthur knew that his friend was a dumb person. He never understood what do girls like in him. "With his stupid intelligence, he can't even manage a pet how does he even manage to control an army" they were Arthur's honest thoughts.

Vladis knew from Arthur's expression that he was probably bas.h.i.+ng him inside his head.

It was fortunate for Vladis that he didn't know what Arthur was thinking otherwise he sure would have fainted from shock.

"Ciel is the one who used to come in my dreams," Arthur said.

"How do you know, Ciel is the same girl who used to come in your dreams?"Vladis enquired.

"I am sure because I can recognize her voice. Oh! I even heard Camy's voice too in my dreams."Arthur said with a smug face.

Vladis didn't show any expression on his face but he admitted to himself that he was secretly jealous.

"It's only voice Arthur. I met Camy and Ciel first. I hope you didn't forget it. Did you?

Oh my! What can we do? I am even engaged to both of them unlike someone. A lone man. Vladis teased Arthur.

Arthur was frustrated but he didn't speak anything and tried to control the rage in his heart. Vladis knew that he had irritated Arthur to his limits and it won't do any good to him to stretch this so he closed his mouth and started opening his gift box.

Arthur saw Vladi's actions and he felt that today he would die from being jealous.

He thought," What an idiotic girl she was. He risked his life for her and she just said a simple thank you. At least she could have brought a simple gift as a token of appreciation."

Vladis saw Arthur's expression and suppressed his laughter and kept the box away.

"Arthur you know this is the second time when you are making a jealous face," Vladis said.

Huh? Arthur gave him an incoherent reply

"Well the first time was when Camy offered me a kiss but Ciel didn't give you any and second time is today when Camy bought a gift for me but Ciel didn't buy anything for you," Vladis said innocently but to Arthur, it hit where it hurts the most and he instantly ordered the coachmen to stop the carriage.

"Leave" Arthur said.

"What? In the middle of the night. You can't do this to me."Vladis pleaded to Arthur but all he got was an expressionless face. Vladis sighed and accepted his fate.

He climbed down from the carriage and went to sit with the coachmen.

The coachmen was startled by Vladi's appearance but after seeing his comforting smile he again started the carriage and thus the journey continued.
