On a black covered night, the soft melody of the piano echoed through the halls. The wind whispered with a cold harsh tone and slowly, "The curse of the Phantomhive". Every last corner of it was covered in pitch black except for the two unknown shadows standing.
-That Butler, Visit-
"It's already time to wake up Young Master." A soft toned voice said to someone that was on the bed.
"I already know that, Sebastian." An angry voice said in response. Immediately Sebastian puts his Young Master's clothes on and ties his shoes appropriately.
"You actually came late today and I hope you have a nice excuse this time." Ciel said while he took a few steps.
"Of course, Young Master… I was only taking care of the servants." Sebastian said in return while walking behind Ciel. Ciel took a long a deep breath as his mind wandered off to the past. He never talked about it but, mornings like those pushed him to remember about his past life, the family he once had, the love he could show, the innocence that took over his dreams and the smiles that he wasn't able to show on the present. He kept walking and stopped when he was in front of the door. He stared up at Sebastian impatiently. Sebastian smiled and opened the door happily for his Young Master and held it until he was able to pass to the next room. When Ciel was out of the room it began to flash.
"It seems like a thunderstorm. How bothersome, and to think I wanted to take a walk at noon." He said with his usual sarcasm, it was obvious that on days like those the last thing he wanted to do was to step outside and wait for lightning to end his life. He stepped down the stairs and stopped at the living room.
"Sebastian!" He said while staring at a bookshelf.
"What is it that you need, Young Master?" He said while walking towards Ciel. Ciel closed his eyes for a while…a long while. He then opened them suddenly and replied to Sebastian's question.
"Sometime alone, I would like to pick up on my reading. It's been quite a while now. Please don't bother me…I won't have breakfast either so I don't want anyone to disturb me, got that?" He said while he let himself fall on a nearby couch with a book on his hands and at least for now he know he had found something that will help his thoughts wander into an unrealistic world.
"As you command." With that said, he left silently like a feather falling to the ground, the door didn't make any sound, like if there wasn't any door on that space. Sebastian started thinking about everything on his past, all the sacrifices that he thought that weren't sacrifices at all, he thought about today's work and started to cook some breakfast for the servants since Ciel wasn't eating today, but he still had that cycle of making food for 5, and yes, today he did make food for 5 and since he didn't wanted to waste it he left to the Middleford's mansion to give Miss Elizabeth some of that breakfast. *knock, knock*. You could hear that sound at the Middleford's principal door. Suddenly, a little girl with pigtails of gold and eyes of green like emeralds heard the knocking.
"Isabel! They are knocking on the door." She said while thinking who it was. The only one that came to her mind was Ciel.
While Sebastian waited he thought about the Young Master, his desire for revenge wasn't shown as other kids did when they lost their parents, he was once really happy and he was smiling, he was once a normal kid, an immature normal kid who wouldn't even think of demons or angels.
"But, but..." Isabel said as she stood up at once. "What about your dress, mistress?" Her soft voiced echoed through Miss Elizabeth's mansion hallway.
"Just open the door already, Isabel." Another young woman glared at her while passing by.
"As you command Mistress Elizabeth, Mrs. Erika." With that said Isabel went out of the room and walked down the stairs. She sighed once she reached the front door and slowly opened it while she prepared her smile.
"Good morning! Welcome to Middleford mansion, how may I be of service to you?" The blonde girl said while she faked a huge and warming smile. Her thoughts were completely focused on another thing. The dress. Miss Elizabeth had made her wear a tiny dress, it wasn't even her size but, Miss Elizabeth wanted to see how cute would Isabel look on her dress. Isabel had a wavy long hair and a cute clean face, she was often mistaken as being Elizabeth's older sister, she was 22 and had a nice figure. She was Elizabeth's favorite housekeeper, or so she thought. Right now she was absolutely distracted by her clothes and so she wanted this embarrassing moment to come to an end.
Unfortunately, the moment wouldn't end just yet.
"I brought this for Miss Elizabeth, can I come in, please?" with that said he made his fake smile, answering her fake huge smile. Isabel felt how her left eye began to twitch so she bowed a bit and began to speak.
"Sure, please make yourself at home. If there's anything you need please don't hesitate on calling me. Right now, I have to take care of some…thing." With that said she turned around and attempted to leave the scene.
"Wait!" Sebastian said taking hold of her right hand, making her stop. "I need your services right now."
Isabel jumped and turned around as soon as she gained her composure. "Y-yes? How may I help you?" she asked still in a bit of a shock.
"Can you… never mind" He said while letting her hand go. He stays still thinking of some…things…
She stared at the man's eyes for a while, they were intriguing as soon as she was lost inside them she remembered…The dress…Her face turned a bit pale and she continued her walk heading as soon as possible to her room. When she left, Erika came out and quickly approached Sebastian.
"Well hello there" she said quite interested. "Is there something you're looking for?"
Sebastian was still looking at the housekeeper and couldn't hear a word Erika was saying. When he reacted he sat on a couch close to Elizabeth and started talking to her, waiting for the housekeeper to come out of her room.
"Wasn't it cute?" said Elizabeth to Sebastian.
"What was, Miss Elizabeth?" said Sebastian in return.
"The dress! It looked great on Isabel! She is really cute isn't she?" the little girl said.
"Um Yes Miss Elizabeth, she looked great." He said while he thought [Isabel huh? That's her name… humph!]. A mischievous smile appeared at his face.
Isabel sneezed.
"How weird." Isabelapproached Miss Elizabeth. "Breakfast is already made and is waiting for you on the table, Mistress." This time her smile came from the heart and she extended her right hand for Miss Elizabeth to hold from it.
"I want one of those" said Sebastian still smiling mischievously. "One of those from-the-heart smiles, not forced, can you give it to me? Of course you can right? You said I should call you if I needed something…" Those words took Isabel by surprise. She just smiled brightly at the unknown butler that came not some time ago and was now sitting beside Miss Elizabeth. His smile was a bit awkward so she just ignored it and tried to stay as calm as possible. She didn't know who he was but Erika was on a good mood since he arrived.
"If you would excuse us now sir, Miss Elizabeth needs to eat, if it isn't a problem to you, would you wait or you want to join her for breakfast."
Sebastian started to think. "Oh! No worries. I will wait here for your return, when Miss Elizabeth finishes eating, please give me that smile" He smiled with unhappy eyes. "Miss Elizabeth, please forgive my rudeness for not letting you go to eat, please enjoy your breakfast" He said looking at Elizabeth with a happy smile
"Thank you so much, Sebastian! Wait, have you eaten any food? Because Isabel can give you some." Said Elizabeth with glowing eyes
"No, I have food here. In fact that was why I had come here, but since you have already had breakfast served then I will eat it myself" With that said he looked at Isabel with no smile this time, just a normal face. Isabel nodded and took Miss Elizabeth's hands leading her to the dining table. Minutes later she came back to where Sebastian was sitting moments ago.
"I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Isabel Crystaldorm, Miss Elizabeth's housekeeper. At your service Mister…" she said, quite curious.
"Humph! Sebastian Michaelis, Ciel Phantomhive's butler. Well then, now that we have introduced ourselves… let's start… the game." He said with a huge mischievoussmile or better said grin.
