Welcome to the story! Hope you like it. I'll be writing it through diary entries and newspaper clippings, as in Dracula, but obviously it will be following a slightly different storyline. More than slightly. It is "loosely based". Kuro parts take place in anime-verse. And yes, I kept Sebastian's first name the same for recognition's sake. And I apologize for just short of writing with Bram Stoker's style. This story just came out that way.
I own neither Black Butler nor Dracula. If I did, my stories would feature electricity as a magnificent invention instead of an automatic privilege.
Letter from Queen Victoria to Vincent Phantomhive, November 30, 1880
Dear Vincent,
I regret to call you away on business just two weeks before your young son's birthday, but it has come to my knowledge that the murders of late are possibly connected to a man from France. I will need you to visit his castle in the mountains near the border with Switzerland. I'm afraid my butler could not uncover any sort of information except his name and address. His full title is Count Sebastian Michael D'Lisont, if that is of any meaning to you. The villagers who live down the mountain from him, on both sides of the border, say that he is…eccentric, and very mysterious. I would like you to pay him a visit on the grounds of establishing a Funtom store branch in France within his jurisdiction. Please be careful while finding out as much as you possibly can about him.
Victoria, Queen of England
Thanks for reading this first very short prologue! I have more chapters on the way soon. Please review, they even put in a quicker way of posting one just for you guys!
