170 Before The Wheels Of Fate Arrive

Ciel turned his head to look at the girl who called out to him.

"Stella?" Ciel asked. "What are you doing here? It's already way past curfew."

"I could ask the same to you, Darling," Stella replied with a sweet smile.

She then walked closer towards Ciel and gave him a light hug.

"What are you doing here?' Stella whispered in a teasing tone. "It's already past curfew. Are you perhaps thinking of me?"

"Mayhaps," Ciel answered as he allowed Stella to hug him. 'She really feels different from Kate.'

Stella was about to say something when her strong sense of hearing picked something up from a distance. She immediately grabbed Ciel's hand and hurried off in a direction away from the girl's dormitory.

Ciel frowned, but didn't hinder her movement. He knew that there were guards patrolling the academy at this time of the night, and it would be a bad thing if the two of them were caught.
