My name is Karina Ashton. I'm 15 years old, and I am now entering the Phantomhive estate. I heard that the Phantomhive's butler is superb and will do anything asked and do it perfectly. I'm still not aware of the reason why I was called to this place, and I do not have a good feeling about it.

My carriage seems to have made its way to my destination as we stopped and my driver opened the carriage door.

I step out, and see a slender figure waiting at the front door with a slight smirk.

"Master Phantomhive has been waiting for you, my lady."

I paused at the awkward salutation and smiled back to the being.

"Thank you. You must be Mister Phantomhive's butler."

He took my coat off and gently put it over the coat rack.

"Why indeed. I excuse myself for not introducing myself. My name is Sebastian Michaelis, butler of Master Ciel Phantomhive."

Sebastian Michaelis, he had a great first impression, and I could tell that he was a great butler.

Sebastian knocks on a door in the far end of the hallway.

"My lady, Master Phantomhive is awaiting you here. I will be back in a minute to bring you some fresh brewed tea."

"Thank you Sebastian. Your sharpness reminds me of my butler, Claude."

His face changed expression for a moment and went back to its usual smirk.

"I'm glad to hear that."

I walk into the room to find Ciel Phantomhive sitting in a fancy chair with a chess board in front of him.

"Karina Ashton. I hope you make a good opponent for me."

I sit down in a chair across from him and place my hand on the chess board.

"Don't underestimate me. I play chess everyday." I say and move a piece forward.

I can tell he was showing a faint smile and moves a piece forward as well. As we played on, I was at a definite advantage. I forgot about my tea as well, and by that time, Sebastian had already cleaned it up.

"It has been awhile since I've had an opponent this strong before. I usually have already won by now."

I looked at him and said with confidence, "I told you not to underestimate me."

I checked him in my next move and he laughed.

"Karina Ashton, I have enjoyed having you as an opponent today. I wish for you to come back to my mansion another day, for another game."

"Mister Phantomhive, no Ciel, thank you for inviting me. Please come to my estate in the soon future. My butler and I will gladly be waiting for you."

He looks at me and takes me to my carriage.

"Farewell."

"Farewell."

He waves at my carriage as I leave his estate, and I look back until I can no longer see him.
