I Need You; Alois Trancy x Reader

Chapter Three

He wanted her to be his.

Alois looked back to his Butler and questioned, "Do you have any idea who she is?" Claude glanced over at her before looking back to his master. "No, My highness, but I can find out." He replied. "Then do it fast. That's an order." Alois ground out and just like that his Butler was gone.

Alois looked back to where the girl was only to find her not there. He swore under his breath. "Bloody hell, where'd she go?" His cerulean eyes traveled around the room, in an attempt to find the young lady. He grumbled when he couldn't find her.

Alois sighed and decided to just wait for Claude to return. So he turned his back and made his way over to a group of guests, deciding to socialize until then.

(Y/n) sighed to herself. She had just finished a dance with a young man whom she had already forgotten the name of.

She was making her way over to Yuma, who stood near the refreshments, when someone knocked into her. Fortunately they caught her before she could end up on the floor, so now they were in a sort of dipping position.

(E/c) eyes looked up to meet cerulean ones. The young man pulled her up from the position and smiled down at her, being a good five inches taller then her.

"I apologise My Lady, are you hurt?" He questioned looking down at her. (Y/n) gave him a false smile before replying. "All is well My Lord, no harm done." She took a step back from him.

She eyed the young gentleman up and down. He wasn't that bad looking she had to admit. He had beautiful blond hair. His eyes looked like they had seen so many things. Had so many secrets. Her interest was automatically peaked.

"Oh, excuse me me where are my manners?" The blond smiled happily, taking her hand in his, kissing her knuckles.

"I am Alois Trancy." He introduced looking up at her, never letting go of her petite hand. There was a few moments before (Y/n) introduced herself.

"I am (Y/n) Carter." Alois smiled happily once she said her name, standing straight and finally letting go of her hand.

"A lovely name." He complimented. (Y/n) forced a smile, wondering why the hell Yuma hasn't intervened yet.

She was always awkward when it came to social interactions, and she never really knew how to accept compliments. Alois narrowed his eyes when (Y/n) had yet to say anything.

"Why do you not say anything? I just gave you a compliment, at least say thank you!" She just stared up at him, even as his voice rose towards the end.

Alois was getting agitated. This girls lack of responses (much like his demon butler) was starting to get to him. Surely she knew what proper manners were? Yet, she just stared up at him with those chilling (e/c) eyes (but now that he got a closer look at them he noticed grey specks in the beautiful hues).

Alois waited impatiently for the girls response, looking into her cold and calculating eyes. "I apologise if my lack of responses have upset you My Lord, I am not comfortable in situations like this."

After a few moments of silence, that's what came out of her mouth?

Alois couldn't help himself. He threw his head back and laughed. (Y/n) just stared at him. Many other courtesans had turned to look at the two, but turned away once they noticed it was only Alois.

Once Alois was done with his sudden outburst he stood up straight and wiped a tear from his eye. "God," he said smiling uncontrollably. "Your really something aren't ya?" He giggled to himself. "From what I've heard." Was (Y/n)s reply.

Alois held out his hand. "Well Lady Carter, care to dance?" He asked. (Y/n) gave him a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes and took his hand. Alois hid his frown as he led her to the dance floor.

He knew when someone was fake smiling. He had seen them more times he could count. He had learned to tell the difference.

Why won't she smile? Alois pulled the young lady close and led her in a waltz.

Across the floor was Yuma, smiling softly. He could see plain as day that the young Earl his Mistress was dancing with was already fawn of her. And if his Mistress wasn't fawn of him, she was definitely intrigued.

"Well well, look who it is. Yuma Jinx, if I remember correctly." Yuma fixed his burgundy eyes on a smug looking Sebastian.

"What do you want crow?" He asked sharply. Sebastian just chuckled and walked forward, eyes traveling to the dancing pair.

Ignoring Yuma's question Sebastian said, "Lady (Y/n) has grown into a fine young Lady," a small smirk made it's way on to Sebastians face as he continued. "How old is she now, sixteen? She'll be of age soon." Burgundy eyes glared into red ones.

Yuma looked back to where his Mistress was, a frown resting on his face. "Whatever goes on with my Mistress has nothing to do with you." He spoke, his tone dull, eyes flashing grey.

Alois smiled as their dance came to an end. "Your a wonderful dancer Lady (Y/n), we'll have to do it again sometime." He complimented as they started to walk off to the side. (Y/n) just nodded. This time, Alois didn't mind all that much about her lack of responses. She had actually talked to him while they were dancing.

He wanted to know more about her. He wanted to see her shell brake. He wanted to see what was behind the mask she was wearing.

"How about you join me for a cup of tea?" Alois proposed. (Y/n) looked up at him and gave a false smile. "I would have to ask my father." She lied through her teeth. She knew damn well she didn't have to ask and was just using that as an excuse. Out of the corner of her eyes she saw Yuma walking to her.

Alois just smiled and looked around. "Shall we go find him then?" He asked. (Y/n)s eyes widened. "N-no!" She sputtered out. Alois looked back at her, a small frown resting on his face.

Just then Yuma walked up and bowed. "Pardon, My Lord, Mistress." Alois' eyes slid towards the burgundy eyed butler. So this was her butler? Alois felt Claudes presence behind him and saw him in his peripheral vision.

Alois smiled at the young lady and took her hand and kissed it. "I look forward to seeing you again. I'll talk to your father about our plans. If he says yes I'll send you a letter with all the details of our tea date." With that the young Earl turned away and walked off, his Butler following closely behind.
