His Butler: Punishment

[JuuzousJason XIII]

"A problem?" She slightly tilted her head and then glared at what Hannah had done to her. She had been so proud of this child, but it was just Hannah trying to buy her way back into her life....but she couldn't just get rid of it either because Isabella would be disappointed. "I know that you're no longer contracted to me Claude, but do me a favor and get rid of her for good?" She smirked at him, hoping to take care of his Hannah problem once and for all.  

[Claude Faustus]

Claude bowed to Alois "Yes, my Lady." He didn't think to tell her the other part that her child would be her brother re-incarnated. Alois would figure that out herself one day. "It will be done." He promised.

When he had gotten the chocolates he returned to the Phantomhive manor. Claude gave the box to Sebastian."Is Grell still here? I need to tell her that it was Lilith who took my heart, and she had given it to Hannah." He said. wondering just how he might go about getting the Laevateinn-sword before Hannah was dealt with.
The sword was a very powerful weapon and owning such a thing would please the spider butler very much. Even so much more then getting his heart back, with it Claude wouldn't need to consume human souls as the sword drew upon the energy of the universe to feed it's wielder. He could chose to feed on human soul if he wished.  

[JuuzousJason XIII]

Sebastian nodded when Claude asked him if Grell was still in with them in the manor. "She's in the play room with her daughter." He took the chocolates from him and put them away for now.

Grell smiled as she played with Rose. "Have you been a good girl Rose?"  

[Claude Faustus]

Rose smiled. "Yes Mama. I am being good." She said. Rose adored her mother, she looked so much like her, so pretty beyond believing that the little girl was awed that this woman was her mother.
Hearing footsteps, She truned and saw Claude standing at the door. The little girl immediately sensed the change in him and it scared her. But far from showing her fear She just ignored him and resumed dressing up her doll.

"Grell....there is a matter that I wish to discuss with you." Claude said, no wanting to intrude but knowing that Grell could read minds he might as well tell her everything he'd found out and what he wanted out of Hannah. He didn't care much for getting his heart returned.  

[JuuzousJason XIII]

Grell stood up before looking at her daughter. "Mommy will be right back." She then went with Claude into another room. "Alright tell me everything Claude, and leave nothing out."  

[Claude Faustus]

Claude barely blinked. "I found out where Lilith had hidden my heart, She had given it to Hannah Annafellows in order let her cross the barrier at the Trancy estate. Hannah had used that new ability to enter the Trancy manor in order to impregnate Alois who is currently a female...." He trailed off a bit here. " With the soul of Luka, her brother, the boy that Hannah had consumed before In a deluted hope that Alois would take her back..." He glanced over his shoulder in the direction of Rose, Hell's precious little princess. The thought occurred to him that Lilith might use his heart to brake thought this barrier. If that was so, then they where all in danger from being attacked. "Perhaps....it was only a test. Your Majesty..." Claude dropped down to one knee in front of her. "Please allow me to go and destroy that heart and Miss Hannah Annafellows." He said, he wold have to figure out a way to get that sword out of Hannah before he killed her.  

[JuuzousJason XIII]

Grell looked into his mind and could tell that he was hiding something important from her. She didn't want her daughter to be harmed by Lilith so she wanted to kill Hannah herself to make a statement. She smirked as she looked at him.

"You're really willing to give up your feelings for Sebby just for a shot at that sword? I could kill her myself and get you both your heart and the sword."  

[Claude Faustus]

Claude looked surprised, he didn't think to simply ask her, Grell tended to favor Sebastian more out of the two of them so usually he never asked favors of her.
"You...can do that?" He asked, forgetting the formalities. His eyes where wide.  

[JuuzousJason XIII]

"Yes I can do that, but mainly because Sebby adores that heart while you have it. Love doesn't make you weak. When you have someone to care for and you care for them the two of you will be invincible. I'll take care of Hannah."  

[Claude Faustus]

Claude felt a p***k of jealously, 'Of course she'd do it for Sebastian...' He tried to quell the jealous feeling, as long as he got that sword he'd be satisfied. He wasn't sure about what she had said about love not being weak was true or not, he didn't exactly remember anything specific, only that he got the worst of it when he was protecting Sebastian in the past when he had his heart.
"May I accompany you when you see to Hannah?" He asked.  

[JuuzousJason XIII]

Grell noticed his jealously and that only made her smirk more. "Your heart is for Sebby but the sword is just for you for a job well done. No need to get jealous Claude. Yes you may come with me to see Hannah."  

[Claude Faustus]

Claude smiled in relief.

Some time later, Claude approached the Trancy manor once again. First knocking on the door and being allowed inside. After a few minutes. Alois came out of the manor , With Claude trailing along behind him.
"This way my Lady. The last time I'd seen Hannah was over here." Claude said walking into the clearing where the demon had been.  

[JuuzousJason XIII]

Grell had snuck in through the back of the manor and told the real Alois to stay hidden while she pretended to be her to get close to and kill Hannah. 'Alois' followed Claude out the front, and went to where Hannah was.  

[Claude Faustus]

"Hannah come out, I know that your here." Claude said loudly. hearing a rustle of leaves, Claude picked out a mint from his pocket and threw it with unerring accuracy towards the left there was a soft sound of pain and the head of one of the Triplets appeared out of the bush.
"Canterbury....where is your Mistress? Lady Alois wishes to speak to her."  

[JuuzousJason XIII]

Grell wasn't just using her demon abilities to transform her looks and aura. She was using Loki's transformation powers as well in order to completely become Alois, including all of his memories. She had learned how to work the two together to make herself even stronger as was to be expected of her. Loki had given her gifts that she planned on always using to her advantage, so if Hannah asked her questions that only he should know he could easily answer it. She also wasn't going to let a servant of Lilith's walk all over her. Loki would turn over in his grave if she did that.

Hannah came out of the shadows and saw Alois in front of her. How could he have figured things out so soon unless Claude spilled the beans to him about his brother? First though she needed to make sure this was the real Alois, and not some measly copy.

"Alright Lady Alois, I'm going to ask a few questions to make sure it's really you. First question. What line did you say to me before you took out my eye?"

Grell smirked before she dug into the memories of Alois before answering in her smug tone. "Really Hannah? I decide to actually talk to you again after all that happened and you bombard me with questions? Very well then. Hannah, don't you think eggs are pitiable? Its shell is broken and it's forced to publicly show an indecorous appearance. Then it becomes an eyeball, internal organs, or a plume. And I rob it of any and all possibilities. What other questions are you going to waste my time and insult me with?" She then gave a rather annoyed look, really playing the part.

"Just one more. What did Claude call you while you were contracted to him?"

Grell/Alois smirked. "That's an easy one. He called me Your Highness as did my little brother, Luka. That's not the only time he called me that though. There was another time just recently...And I simply love the way it rolls off his tongue in a rather...seductive way...." By having Alois' memories he meant ALL of his memories, and all of the current memories with him and Claude were quite hot and heavy. Quite the turn on.

Hannah, blushed and glared, instantly getting jealous. "Fine enough questions! What would you like to talk with me about My Lady?"

"Claude told me what you did for me involving giving my brother back to me, and I'd have to say that I'm quite impressed with your attempt to get me to love you, or have favor with you, so I'm going to make you a deal. I still have slight feelings for Claude as well as you, and he told me that you have his heart. I want you to take out his heart carefully, and hand it over to me so that I can have it and no one else. That and I want you to give Claude your sword. You do this for me and I promise to love only you, and I'll take down my barrier so that you can work for me in the castle again. Come on Hannah...It's two sacrifices for the man of your dreams to throw himself at you."

Hannah looked from Alois to Claude, wondering what she should do. "What do you think...Claude? Triplets?"
