Narrator's POV

Alois pouted as he and Claude left Sphere Music Hall.

He had barely been inside for five minutes and they had already kicked them out!

"Claude!" The Earl whined, stomping his feet slightly

Said butler immediately replied in his usual monotone, "Yes, your highness?"

"Figure out another way for us to get in there so we can get Lizzy." He demanded, "Now!"

Claude said nothing but he left so Alois assumed he was going as told.

Walking alone, the fourteen year old blond returned to his town house a few blocks away, no one paying him another thought with his disguise.

The triplets paid him no heed, doing their tasks in silence, but Hannah approached and curtsied to him, "Welcome home, your highness."

Alois did not give her a second glance, "Get my other peasant disguise ready and a wig."

The maid nodded and went to do as requested, turning back to look at him as she climbed the stairs before continuing on.

When the teenage Earl arrived at his chambers, the items he wanted were laid out on the plush maroon duvet.

Alois sighed and sat on his bed, he did not even like Elizabeth but he was expected by her family as her fiancé to attempt to rescue her.

And, well, anything that could distract Claude from achieving Alois' revenge would be the longer the boy could live.

It had been years since Luka and the abusive village had been murdered by what must be a supernatural entity.

"Is something wrong, your highness?" A feminine voice asked from the doorway

Alois looked up and saw Hannah, her long white hair covering her bandaged eye.

"Remove your top." He ordered, sitting up

The maid nodded and removed her white and navy blue apron and the lilac ribbon around her neck, unbuttoning the first few buttons of the navy blue gown to reveal her large bosoms and purple corset.

Knowing what came next, the maid sat on the bed and held out her arms.

Alois immediately went between her outstretched arms and used her breasts as a pillow like a babe would their mother, letting himself indulge in his coping fantasy for a bit to calm down.

Jim Macken never existed and he certainly was never ever tainted by the old Earl Trancy; Alois Trancy was a pure-blooded noble stolen as an infant and had returned home a few years ago to reclaim his true life.

The teen was soothed as Hannah softly sang a lullaby from his childhood, one that his mother —no, the woman that stole him— sing to him and Luka before she had died.

For a moment, he wondered how she knew it but pushed the thought aside.

Claude was so mean to him, getting less and less interested in him with each passing day and wanting to complete their contract swiftly.

Why did Claude not like him anymore? Alois loved him still.

Angry at the thought of his demon being bored of him, he lashed out at the one currently comforting him, biting a chunk right out of her collar.

Crimson blood poured down the woman's supple breasts, but if she was hurt she made no inclination of it and continued singing and stroking his silky locks.

Soothed by that, Alois laid his head back down on the unbloodied breast and stayed there until he felt better.

Hannah helped him change into the other disguise and put in the ginger wig.

Once the wig was settled over his real hair, the tanned woman kissed his forehead and he left to go backk to the Music Hall.

***

Claude Faustus was not at all deterred by having been kicked out of Sphere Music Hall.

If he could not go undercover as a patron, then he would just have to disguise himself as a servant.

It was almost pathetically easy to slip into the servant's entrance, he quickly stole one of the abundant Vega bracelets and put it so he did not look out of place.

Maneuvering through the halls, he soon found four bedrooms with each having a different amount of stars on the stained glass windows atop them.

Opening each of the four bedroom doors, he found them all unoccupied but he noticed that the ones that had one and two stars obviously belonged to nobles while the other two were extremely modest.

Continuing down the hallway, the demon butler found himself in a library where he saw a teenage boy with navy blue hair sitting on a window bench staring out to the bustling streets outside the Music Hall while a Bitter rabbit was sat on his lap.

The boy did not notice him at all and an idea popped into the golden eyed man's mind: since he could not locate Lady Elizabeth, he could take this boy as a hostage to force them to give her up.

It seemed he took too long since the boy noticed him, "W-Who are you? No one is suppose to be up here."

He did not reply as he swiftly made his way across the library and grabbed the blunette.

The teen screamed as he was picked up, "HELP!"

Using his demon magic, Claude knocked the boy out and left the Music Hall...
