The soft clap of heels echoed down the grand hall, the only sound besides the slight rustle of a silk dress. A black figure made her way down the hall, her face hidden with a black veil. She stopped at an oak door with brass handles. Two soldiers clad in armor stood guard at said door, and the black figure nodded at them. They silently opened the door to the quaint room. A familiar person was waiting in one of the chairs.
The walls were a soft baby blue color, with white curtains and a few portraits hanging here and there. The floor was wood with a rug the same shade as the walls. Two chairs and a table had been set up, and a vase full of flowers and a tray with cakes and scones were on the table. And sitting on one of the chairs was none other than the Queen Victoria herself.
The Queen looked up when the doors opened and smiled when she saw the black veiled figure. "You're early, miss Raven." The girl walked over and sat daintily in one of the chairs. While she sat, she said in a soft voice, "My carriage left earlier as to not be late."
Victoria smiled. "I'm not surprised. You do live so far away."
"Before we begin to idly chat, I'd like to know why you called me here." the Raven girl said.
"Ah, yes. I have called you here for a special mission…"
Victoria pulled out a photo from her dress pocket, and handed it to the veiled girl. The girl glanced around before slowly lifting her veil slightly. The photo showed a boy around the age of thirteen who had black hair with a blue tint to it, and sapphire eyes. Actually, it was one eye. The other was hidden beneath a black eyepatch, and it made the girl wonder what happened to his eye. Behind him was a tall butler who had pitch-black hair and odd red eyes.
"You have a heard of Ciel Phantomhive, correct?"
The girl nodded softly before handing the picture back to Queen Victoria and letting her veil fall back down.
"He was just on one of my missions for him, and I'm afraid he did not do exactly as I asked."
"How so?"
"There had been children missing at the time, and I sent him to find the kidnappers and retrieve the children."
The Queen paused for a moment, looking down at the tea in her cup.
"Instead, he burned the mansion they were in, killing all the children."
This made the veiled girl curl her hands into fists. "I take it you want me to… dispose of him, correct?"
When the queen nodded, the girl let her hands relax again. She stood up softly, which made the queen confused. "You're leaving already?" The girl bowed before the Queen and said, "I will make sure to come visit you again, my Queen. We will catch up on each other another time." Victoria gave her a soft smile and nodded for her to leave.
As the girl walked out to her carriage, she made sure no one was watching as she lifted her veil up and over her head. A boy was waiting in the carriage for her. "Another mission, My Lady?" A small smirk formed on the girl's lips.
"I think this one will be quite an interesting adventure."
