A few days have passed, Duchess Penieres was the nobles gossip everywhere you go and due to this kind of a shame... let's say she decided to move to the countryside which was the rumors were already reached. Due to these kinds of embarrassment, she had been found dead in her room, her neck hanging from her bathroom ceiling.
As for the Moriarty estate, the fire accident had already happened and all the servants and the family members expect the eldest son, (adopted)second son, and the adopted youngest son. They were taken in by Rockwell.
<Few months pass>
William's POV
At the estate of Rockwell, who Lord Rockwell was gone for a few months, we learned that Jack Rayfiel was also known as Jack the Reaper. A man who was in the military a veteran of the Afghan War with great skill in melee combat. So we all decided to ask him to teach us the skills and how to defend ourselves. In the end, he did agree to teach us the art of killing with one extra condition.
"Greetings Grandpa Jack! I never thought you would be the one calling for my help," a young girl's voice could be heard from the entrance so I looked down at the entrance of the estate to see that girl who would come to the Moriarty estate to treat my brother's sickness and check up on our health. "I see, you have turned into a young beautiful lady in such a short time! How are Osamu, Chuuya, Ryu, Atsushi, and Kyouka doing? I wanted to see them too, they were my best students you could ask for as well as that interesting ability... is that what you guys call, right? Oh, I asked you to come here to teach the Moriarty kids how to defend themselves. I would've asked Osamu for this but looks like—," "Hey *yawn*... sorry I couldn't sleep last night cause I had some business to attend but we are all here to help you, Gramps!" Osamu said and then the other siblings entered.
"Kids, come downstairs!" Jack called us and we went to the lounge to see them all lined up. "Lady d'Apchier, long time no see. May I ask why you are here?" I asked and then she smiled, I waited for an answer until Jack answered it for them. "They are here to help you learn the art of killing. The eldest, Osamu would help you with the defense, Chuuya would help you with combat, Ryu and Atsushi would be training your stamina and be your fighting opponent, and as for Kyouka, she would teach you how to assassinate and spy on people. This young lady would be teaching you guys the mind games, like philosophy that mainly focus on logical thinking and sword fighting. This young lady over here is quite an intelligent girl and is very good at swords, I prefer her to use a gun but I guess a sword works best for her, right?"
I was surprised that all of them knew how to fight and at the same time, we all had a question. Why would they need to fight? "I must say I would be teaching them philosophy but it's mostly about strategies... how to handle the target's movement without getting into too much contact, etc. Someone's been stuffing all that into my head since little... heck even Osamu could teach you one or two things. But the most significant person to teach you all of these would be me since Osamu's way of teaching is quite gruesome should I say... anyway, shall we begin the hell training?" she said and the moment she said that the room turned into a warm and neutral feeling to deadly feeling.
⁓After few hours⁓
"I would say that you guys are not fit for the front line but as the masterminds, your defenses aren't that good yet your combats are from looking how Chuuya used about 10% of his power (not ability but like his physical power), usually he doesn't need to use it to attack the target. For your fighting style, using a weapon would be best for all of you since you struggled when fighting them. As for gun trying and the whole spying thing, I guess that went well for Louis. As for the strategies it looked like William was interested in it." Osamu said and we were happy that we could learn from them. We also learned that they are dealing with some bad nobles the country doesn't need and some other stuff.
As we were enjoying our time with the other siblings I noticed that Celestia wasn't here with us so I went out to find her. Then I heard her talking with Jack, or we call him an instructor.
End of POV
"And here I thought you wouldn't catch me... so how did you know?" I asked but Jack just laughed at it. "The brothers don't have to know about this, it's a tiny secret me and our siblings will keep... Anyways, do you think that William or Louis or even Albert would join me in double suicide! I wanted to ask them for a long time, I would always have to act like a formal and mannered lady which was killing me, to think being a lady would be such a bothersome mission. I would like to go and drink some tea and walk on top of the roofs at night and relax." I said as I loosen my shirt button and laid on the couch.
If I was not outside or have guests come over to my estate, I'm actually quite a laid-back and silly girl. I the strict rules that Kunikida tells me and I hated how my suicide with Osamu was always stopped by Chuuya saying if I and Osamu dies who would take over Port Mafia and the family and so on.
"Why don't you ask them directly? Right, little Will?" Jack said that the door opened up with William standing there with a small smile on his face. "Oh, you were here the whole time... well then I guess I can drop my act in front of you! The nice and mannered Celestia d'Apchier is just an act, I'm just a nice and lazy person who wants to end this corrupted class system. Just like you, William my siblings, and I don't like the class system, and the queen herself has appointed me to end the useless and greedy nobles. Us, d'Acphier's life mission is to end the corrupted social class and build a new England. To me, killing the nobles in a grand ball would be easier and quicker but that idea was stopped by my aunts ahaha...
If my predictions are right, I also would love your help to end this society we call the high class. We hate England right now due to the corruption but we share one common goal, which is to help the lower class and to escape them from poverty and mistreatment because we would love to see the new world that we're beginning to create. What would you say, Wil? To us, d'Apchier... you would be quite a threat if you decline our proposal and become our enemy... if you were to become an enemy of ours that is." I said as I look at William with a dull smile.
William's POV
I could fill the chill just by standing but for some reason, the chillness isn't that bad. It's like a cool wind just passed by me and opened my eyes to real reality. Not the reality we wanted to create but a reality that we have already started making. "If I were to decline, would I be killed?" I asked knowing full-well what the answer would be. "Of course, you would be the biggest threat to us and you might get in the way so it would be best to eliminate you right here, right now if you decline the offer." She said with such an uninterested voice.
While looking at her, she already knew what we were thinking and how we were going to act out to end nobles, this got me excited yet worried.
'This journey might be fun but I also don't want her to—,' then as if she read my mind she cut off my train of thoughts and said, "If you're worried about me getting involved, then you don't have to worry I mean we might not have started this together but I have been doing this for few years, longer than you. So, if you're thinking of carrying all the burden then stop that. We are both partners in crime, am I right? When you need help call me and I would help you, even if it means I had to take all the blames!" I was happy that she said that but something was not right like something was out of place. I planned to end the nobles and kill them off, and at the end kill myself. But right now, my plan was kind of changed but no matter what, the goal was still the same, so of course, I agreed to the proposal. She looked like a child who got candy from her parent.
End of POV
By bringing the Moriarty's to the stage, all we had to do is wait for Phantomhive's biggest incident that occurred in the Phantomhive history. "I'm glad that you took in the offer... now I would like to tell you something, Grandpa Jack would you mind leaving for a few minutes?" I asked as I returned to my usual mannered lady mode.
As Jack leaves the room I start the conversation with Wil. "Now... where should I begin? Ah! Yes, the curse I think... Wil, we d'Apchier have a secret that was kept from the world to know, and that is every d'Apchier head is heartless... actually hmm... cursed with not having any feelings. That's better! *Ahem*, the reason for the lack of emotions is due to not taking a side of the rich or the poor. We d'Apchier is known for being the queen's guardian angel to not betray her, the curse was cast upon every head so that when we kill someone we won't feel anything. Ever since I was born I never felt anything or craved for anything... heck at one point I even started to wonder if there really is any value to this thing we call living. A question that Osamu always asks, me and Osamu are the only people who lack the ability to live therefore, we act out the emotions by observing them, by observing them we can fit in like others. When humans know that there are people who act like non-human beings... they would do anything to eliminate them." The silence had entered the room and only a gloomy and shocking emotion was cast on William's face.
He looked as if he didn't want to believe whatever he was hearing. Everyone doesn't want to hear this kind of stuff, after all, only people who are only tainted with despair would think about the way of living. Yet, to me, it was quite a lovely emotion. "Wil, would you take my hand still even if you know that all my affections and my emotions are fake? Do you still have the courage and braveness to face the real me at the end of this story?" I asked and he took a good minute and walked up to me to hug... me? "Of course, you were one of those few nobles that would look at us as human beings and treat us like a human except Albert-niisan. No matter what the future holds or what kind of face you would give me at the end of this story that we started... I would be there and support you no matter what." William said and just like I predicted, William and the other siblings had joined the act.
'Just like I predicted... humans are easily swayed by emotions and easy to manipulate when they get emotional and stop thinking further when hearing a sad story or reason.
I wonder when I finally show you the real result of this story... what kind of sad and broken face would you show me, William James Moriarty?'
